very much taken with the young man
and will be glad To see him when he
returns which will he in the course of
a few months.
ADJOURNMENT OF the board is
hoped for Saturday by the members
but they are afraid that they will not
be able to get through with their
work by that time.
WESTON will have to put up with
Doc Stathers for while longer as the
board up there seems TO be unable to
elect any one to take his place. We
can sympathize with them in their
affliction as we too have white ele-
phant on our hands and wish to get
rid OF him.
CANDIDATES for local political of
fees are very numerous and many
Others ARE in the hands Of their
friends They are quite active and
there is promise Of long campaign
as it is about seven months yet until
the election.
MoRGANrowN boys always win the
honors of their classes and Walter
Leeeh who graduates next week from
the College Of Physicians and Sur
geons of st. Louis has upheld the ira
ditions of the town in that respect.
He takes the highest honors in the
class as a result Of his four years
work
THE death of DR.. Arthur Dent will
be heard here with regret. He is a
son of Marshall Dent and brother of
Judge Dent and William Dentof Tay-
| lor county. He was we'll known in
Morgantown. The news OF his death
was unexpected here. The arrange
ments for the funeral have not yet
been made.
ITs very hard matter to get any
thing out of the board of regents.
They will tell nothing of their move
ments. To all questions they return
the same answer THE board is in
executive session" This makes
those who are hopeful Of relief and
for the retention of the professors
under fire feel very FESTIVE.
MANY of the important matters
that are up before the board may be
postponed until the June meeting
and not settled at the present SEES
sion. That is an added reason for
believing that they will be settled
right. When the regents find out
everything they cannot act in any
way but the right one
A GENTLEMAN from Pittsburg is
here comforting with some Of our peo-
pie in reference to opening a foundry
and machine shop. The chief BUSH
Of the latter would be the repairing
OF engines and large machinery.
There is no place in this vicinity for
doing such work and 1t would be a
great convenience. The concern will
also be prepared to put in order cleo
trical machinery and great many
other things. 1t is greatly to be hop
ed that satisfactory arrangements can
be made TO secure the establishment.
IT'S matter of general congratu
lation that no matter how Prexy
fares this time he will have to go
later on. This firing will not be
very far in the future and that is
the reason that everyone can con-
template his expected success at
this meeting. He is very slick ar
ticle when it comes to mIsrepresen-
tation and not having his stories
shown the objects on which he has
vented his spleen he may be able to
triumph. But his turn will soon
come.
GOVERNOR Atkinson may be in
favor of DR.. Raymond but if he is he
takes mighty7funny way to show
his preferences. The doc ailented
Atkinson at an early date showing
as much judgment in this case as
he ordinarily does when he comes to
dealing with other people. He mag
ined that he was bigger than the
governor and undertook to run him
out with the result that he was Sc
verely snagged. The safe guess is
that the Ratchet has not been bur
