A Card From Prof Patterson.

To The Editor of The New DOMINION:
Your kind note in yesterdays New
DOMINION, expressing appreciation of
efforts TO make 1t possible for the stu
dents and people of Mergantown to
hear great reader is very pleasing
word indeed. | thank you for it.
One point made by you seems to me to
call for explanation, the cheapnesS OF
season tickets. am making the low
price on season tickets in the hope
thatevery student will be able to pur-
chase one and will because it is an
event of educational Importance.
The readings will make Shakespeare
real to the student in way that
nothing else can. But another reason
for the cheapness is that here we are
not trying to make money out of the
engagement
If the reader was brought here by
the manager OF the Opera House or
by any one whose business it is to fur
nish entertainment for the people
just twice as much money would need
to be drawn from the engagement,
and necessarily tickets would double
in price. IA
All / am hoping for is the s300--I
get the reader for $3.50 less than his
price and though failed to get IL last
year | am glad to assure my interest
ed friends that this year promises not
to pick my pocket.
feel that owe something TO both
Morgantown papers for many ookens
of appreciation and encouragement,
both last year and this.

UniOntown Profanity.

The News says there is so much pro-
family in Uniontown that it has been
found Unnecessary to arrest many of the
people of that town and line them for
violating the statutes against swearing
will shock a great many people, and
will probably be the cause Of inaugu-
rating movement to send missiona-
ries to that region. The fact, how
ever. that the local authorities are
making heroic effort to stamp out
the vice is encouraging, and the re-
suits will he awaited with interest.
If these efforts should fail, the people
of the town will certainly be entitled
to receive our aid. This we should
extend to them, not only in the inter
est of good morals and propriety, but
also in our own interest; for should
the habit Of profanity be allowed to
propagate itself there, there is no
knowing but that it might in a short
time be communicated to Pittsburg.
1t behooves US, therefore, to be ready
to render speedy aid in case of the
failure of the local government to
stamp it out.

Owes IL To Advertising.

The Acme Book Store was three
years old on Friday. When it started
three years ago it was started largely
as an experiment. To-day it is doing
one Of the largest businesses done In
the town. The secret OF the immedi-
ate success of the establishment will
be found in the fact that the propri-
etor IL one OF the best advertisers ia
the town. He believes thoroughly
in the liberal use Of printers ink. III
is considered as the best form or in
vestment that he can make. His fore
sight and the rapid manner In which
1t has been proven to be correct should
be lesson TO every business man in
town. This paper ia its several edi-
lions has been found TO be the best
medium for reaching the people OF
this town and county.

JORDON PROGRESSES.
What the Western College President
Predicts.

David Starr Jerdon, president of the
Leland Stanford University OF Cali
fornia, has predicted the downfall of
Great Britain the coming century and
declares the ultimate triumph of the
people of South Africa, He says that
the nation that POUNDS its destiny on
war must reach a speedy decay. He
says that the present inhabitants Of
Great Britain are but shadows in
brain and physical force, of their fore
fathers. In support of this assertion
he says that war destroys the best
manhood, and thus leaves the nation
weaker mentally aud physically.
"War destroys the vitality of the ma
ton. Take, for instance, the present
British Boer war. The best repre-
sentatives of both countries are now on
the field of battle War not only
makes widows, but it prevents many
marriages. certainly am of the
opinion that war is curse on any ma
tion unless it is the result of - fight
for freedom. Such thing as carry
ing on war for the sake of encouraging
imperilistic ideas will wreck sooner or
later a nation that tries such a
scheme"

BADLY contested.
Local Yards in such Condition That
They Prevent Delivery of BIaek5ottle
Freight.

Eight miles of The Blackbottle have
been completed The road is moving
ahead at the rate of one thousand feet
day and this rate is a very comfort
able one. Three car loads of freight
are sent out every day from the track
that is completed. This is regarded
as very fiattering showing.
The road is being eramped however
by the lack of siding here. The sid
ings are all damned with freight cars
and they cannot take their freight
down to Seneca TO unload it. Three
car loads of stone and several of lum-
Der are waiting for the sidings to be
cleared so that they can be taken
down to Seneca.
This condition is a very exaspera-
ting one to the management of the
new road but it is one that will be
very hard to remedy. The B. & o. is
congested from one end to the other
and it seems impossible to remedy it.

GRAFTON.
Body OF Adam Heinert Recovered from
the Rivera Dwelling Burned.

GRAFTON, w. Va, March TO- The
body of Adam Heinert. the tailor
that disappeared from his home on
Washington street early Monday
morning, was found floating in the
river near the Fetterman bridge, one
mile below here, at late hour yes-
terday. His mind had seemed q lit
tie off for several weeks and his
family had hept close watch. On
Sunday he attended church with the
family and appeared in better con
dition than usual. He arose about
5 o'clock Monday and stepped out OF
the house, after which no trace could
be found OF him, although the fami-
~ gave the alarm at once. He came
here some five years ago with his
family from Piedmont, and has since
been employed with the Gerheim
merchant tailor establishment.
At five o'clock the dwelling house
of Henry Coleridge on Main street,
occupied by his mother, caught fire
and was entirely destroyed before
the fire company could reach the
scene. The fire originated from the
kitchen stove, where the clothes had
been hung too near the pipe and were
ignited. The household goods were
a total loss, with $500 insurance on
the building.

Fairly Astonishes the Natives by Its
Large Increase In Real Estate Values.
The returns from the re-assess
ment of the real estate Of Marion
county are complete, and the figures
from from that county fairly aston
ish the natives in the increase Of val
uation. In the first district, the
former assessment was $2,5l2,724,
while that reported for 1900 is So
l89,510, showing an increase OF 1916
1856. The second district shows the
former assessment to have been 81
300,739, while that reported is given
at So, 337, or an increase of 5000
598. This shows total increase in
the valuation OF that county OF ST.
1868 the largest yet reported from
any county in the State, Fayette be
ing the next.
Both Marion and Fayette, howev-
er, have developed great mining
properties and the increase seems
natural.

APRIL SECOND.
Early Meeting of Regents to be
Held.
Call Issued by President Sturgiss- Lots
of Work TO be Done Catalogue will
Contain Result Entertainment to be
Afforded the Members While Here

A call has been issued for the
meeting of the Board of Regents of
the University to take place in April.
They will be here April q This will
take the place Of the June meeting
The call has been issued by Presi
dent Sturgiss of the Board.
He was seen by representative of
the New DOMINION and asked the
reasons for the meeting beng held at
such an early day He stated that
they were TO take up number of
things OF importance and wished to
get them incorporated in the cata
logue if they were adopted. In or
der to do this they would have to
come here in April 1t would he too
late in June.
Besides this he stated that the
week beginning on April I'd will be a
very important one. The pipe organ
will be ready to be turned over to
the University by that time and Mr..
Archer will give recital in Com
mencement Hall. This will be rare
treat and it is regarded as a very
odd time to have the regents hear
the organ.
This organ is the one that has
been donated to the University by
two unknown donors whose munifi-
cence is only equalled by their mod
esty.
Besides the organ recital the adj
dress of David Starr Jordon who is
to deliver the convocation address is
expected to be very fine and the
board is sdesirous of hearing him.
The other exercises in connection
with the convocation are expected to
be usually interesting.
A great deal of business is to be
taken up 1t IS rumored that some
of this may be of a sensational ma
ture but nothing has come to light
as yet regarding the intentions OF
the members of the board.
1t is hoped hereafter to get the
board together at the beginning of
every quarter but the great expense
connected with this move has pre-
vented it from being done up to this
time.
The work on the new building is
to begin on April first and the con
tractor is expected to be on the
ground shortly to begin this. He
will be ready to start on time as far
as known now.

ments Absolutely Pure Water in
Reach Of Mergantewn.
The new filter which has been in
course of construction since last SUM
mer is completed. The work was lin
ished on Friday evening and Saturday
morning the water was turned through
it. By the first of the week the pipes
and supply lines will have become
cleaned cut and the water that is
drawn out by the honsekeepers will be
clear as crystal and absolutely pure.
The capacity Of the filter is twelve
thousand barrels day. This is run
into the new reservoir on the hill To
Che south Of town and from there
sent into the supply lines which feed
the town. The system that is being
used is the sand litter.
1t makes the water absolutely pure
and that now coming through the
filter is as limpid as mountain
stream. Fifteen feet OF water does
not seem to be over two feet deep SO
clear and transparent is it found to
be.
III 10 bue iubtutfOI u0 put III d0Olu-
er filter of the same size SO that the
plant will be prepared for all emer-
gencies. The supply is abundant for
all present needs but it is wanted to
be absolutely prepared for any thing
that may happen. The company is
letting nothing slip that may add to
the completeness of the system that
they have put in.
They have been hard at work on
these Improvements for year or so
and ia that time have expended TWEEN
ty-five thousand dollars. They are
about done with the present improve
ments but of course are always en-
deaYoring to better the conditions
that they have to contend with.
Mr.. Z. M. Grant the manager of
the company is very greatly pleased
over the workings of the filter and
states that in very few days the
pipes having been cleaned out that
Morgantown will have the purest
water given to any city in the country.
1t will be absolutely pure.
