now regarded at the war Office with en-.

WILL SUE THE COUNTY.
Deputy Coroner Giles Wants $26O.l3
Ho Says He Has Earned.

Tie action of the Levy Court in refus-
ing to pay Coroner Vandever's bill OF
$260.43 for services rendered the county,
is going to result in law suit.
The action will be taken by Deputy
Coroner Giles, for whom the coroner
acted in presenting the bill. The bill
covers the cost OF Carrying dead bodies
to the morgue during the year 1899. Mr..
Giles handled 156 corpses and he thinks
the county should pay him for the work.
Under the law creating the Office of cor
oner and deputy coroner it is true that
no provision is made for any expenses
other than for morgue rent. 1t is the be-
lief OF lawyers, however, that the county
cannot compel man to bear an expense
which his official duties impose upon
him, and it is to establish this fact that
Mr.. Giles proceeding will be begun. The
deputy coroner was in consultation with
his lawyer yesterday and the briefs of
the case we're prepared.

Senator Dolliver.
VIII ceiling News.

Some statesmen and splendid eiti-
zens otherwise, come into West Nir
ginia from other states, but the con
verse is just as true, that out OF
these mountains around about, are
sent forth to the world, just as good
as come here from abroad. A case
in point is right at hand. Some few
years ago there was in prominent
county Of this State. and attending
the University in the same locality,
a young man by the name of Dolli-
yer. But he went forth to the west
ern empire, to carve his fortune and
well has he done the work. lester-
day, this same Dolliver was appoint
ed by Governor Shaw, OF Iowa,
United States Senator, to fill the va
cancy caused by the death of the la
mented Gear.
The honor is we'll bestowed West
Virginia is proud of Senator DOLL
yer. He has won his way like a
man. 1t is not necessary TO refer to
his careef at length. His record as
member of the lower house of Con-
gress, is one OF great brilllancy. 1t
is a matter of common note SO
prominent has Mr. Dolliver become,
that there was great probability of
his going on the national Republican
ticket this year, as the candidate Of
his party for Vice President. His
appointment as United States Sena-
tor is only fitting and graceful
recognition Of his merit.
Senator Deliver is one of the ear
Nv graduates OF the West Virginia
University, aud his appointment is
a reminder that that institution, is
attaining to dignity and toage He
is the first graduate to reach such a
high place, although several gen
tlemen who have been sent forth by
the institution, have attained to
prominence in the National House
of Representatives, and others have
become distinguished as judges, at
torneys and business men, one Of
these being Congressman Dayton.
No doubt those now connected with
the University, as well as the asso-
ciates of Senator DoIliver in the
school, will be pleased to know Of
the event that in honoring worthy
man, honors also his alma mater.
