An Inside View.

Prof Wiley has just completed,
ready for the press, History of
the Formation of. West Virginia ,
This is history that has never
been written. There was no official
data from which to compile it. The
severance from the old State, and
the erection of new, was revolu-
tionary proceeding, accomplished
during the commotion of the Civil
war, and there are many interesting
and important features of that pro-
ceeding, that were known only to
those who were leaders in the work
Prof Wiley came into possession of
his Fathers Senator Wiley s-pri,
vate journal, together with much
other data relating to the events of
that time, which are believed to be
the only existing data from which
many mysterious and valuable facts
in the history of the State are res
cued from oblivion. Being in pos
session of this material, Prof Wiley
was urged by many to give it to the
public, and spent the Summer in
preparing the work. 1t contains, al
SO, short sketches and engravings
of the leading pioneers in the forma-
tion OF State. 1t will be valuable
addition to a very interesting epoch
of our history.

HANNA ALARMED.
Will Stay in the East, Owing to the Ex.
igencies of the Campaign.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2Sth.-Senator
M. A. Hanna has decided to remain
in the East much longer than he ex
pected. Mr.. Hanna stated last night
that he might not depart for the
West for three or four weeks. When
he began the campaign work at the
Republican national headquarters
in this city his plan was to remain
here only long enough to map out
the campaign and then go to Chica-
go. He has decided, however, that
the exigeneies of the campaign re
quire his continued presence in the
East. So instead of vacating the
Franklin Murphy cottage at Elber-
on next Saturday, as he intended, he
will prolong his stay there with his
family.
According to several morning pa
pers, one of the considerations that
influenced Mr.. Hanna to prolong his
STAY was the news that the Demo
cratic national committee had re-
solved to establish headquarters in
New York and to inaugurate an &C
tive campaign for Bryan in the East
ern and Middle States.

Company L is back at home after
an eight days camp. They came
back in good shape and all well but
one member of the Company. Pri-
vate Devault was brought back ON
stretcher having been taken down
with fever while in camp. He had
had two attacks Of the same dis
ease this summer before
The company took all of the hon
ors at camp and on the last morning
when Icing paid off Col. Smith sent
his compliments down with the as
surance that Co., L was considered
the best in the regiment. 1t was so
far ahead of all the rest that he
3 wanted it to be paid off like regu-
lars. The company compared very
I.favorably with soldiers in the vol
unteer service. 1t was the only one
I in camp that was paid in this man
ner.
David Turner the cook received a
days extra pay on account of the
first class manner in which he kept
everything in his department. When
the inspection of the regiment was
held but one mistake was noted by
the inspector and that was very
trifing one on the part of one mem
Der of the company.
Sunday morning at inspection the
company made such favorable
showing that It was asked if it had
been in the volunteer service in a
body. When told that it had not
been the inspector expressed great
surprise.
First Sergeant K. l.. Cole was
elected Second Lieutenant to fill the
vacancy created by the promotion
OF Lieutenant Nicely to First Lieu

was made captain at the same time.
The men were bronzed greatly
even in the short time that they
were out and looked very business
like when they returned.
While in camp their department
was the remark of the regiment and
the men could not have been any
better behaved or more military than
they were.

At His Home In New Martinsyille.
After Months OF Suffering aud Fruit
less Effort to flad Relief Death Ends
His Suffering Sketch Of his Long
and E,eatfnl Career as a Lawyer,
Editor and Soldier.
NEW MARTINsvILLE, Aug 81
Capt. Robert McEldowney, the WE'LL
known lawyer and editor Of the Wet
eel Democrat, died this evening about
5 o'clock, of cancer OF the tongue,
after many months of intense suffer
ing.
Capt. McEldowney was born in No
vember, 1897. His father was Sam
uel McEldowney, whose parents came
to America In 1906. Robert Neil
downey was educated in the subscrip-
tion schools Of Wetzel county, which
were the only kind. and later was
sent TO the Monndsyille Academy and
TO Marietta, o., College.
He began the study OF law previous
to the civil war, but when the great
conflict came on be joined the Con-
federate service, and served from 1861
TO 1865 as captain Of the Twenty
seventh Virginia infantry In the
FAMOUS sToNEwALL BRIGADE.
After the close OF the war he again
took up his studies and was admitted
to the bar In 1873. He was ticket
agent two years at Wheeling for the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad, then went
to Philadelphia where he remained
three years with a large wholesale
firm. He finally settled at New Mar
tinsville, and for years has been one
OF the most respected and influential
men OF this place. He has always
been very active In politics and was a
Democrat of the right sort all his life
While he was very frequently mem
toned for some of the highest offices
in the gift of the party, notably Gov
ernor, Senate and Congress,
HE sTEADFAsTLY REFUSED
any Of the honors to which he could
by the asking have had.
The next year after being admitted
TO the practice of law he was elected
to the West Virginia legislature from
Wetzel county, which he represented
in lS74-T5. Two years later he assoc
ciated with w. S. Wiley, Esq, In the
founding Of the Wetzel Democrat, one
of the leading Democratic journals Of
the State.
Mr.. McEldowney was married late
in life TO Miss Anna Louise Smith, Of
Allegheny, Pa, and to this union two
children were born, only one OF whom
| is living.
Mr.. McEldowney owned a very
comfortable home in New Martins
vile, besides real estate in Ohio, and
he enjoyed most lucrative practice
IN the local courts as well as Ia the
United States Courts and the Supreme
Court of Appeals in West Virginia.

The Future of Small Colleges.

Df. w. IL. harper, or chicago uni
yersify, who has aptly been called the
Magnetic Expeller of Money Devils
from the Trust Magnates, has made
some radical predictions on the future
of small colleges. 1t is questionable
whether the presidents of the institu-
tions will feel fiattered or be down
cast by the doctors words. He con-
tends, for instance, that many of
these little colleges are aiming too
high and should I'll just that place
for which they are fitted. Therefore
he says:
Some of the colleges will be reduced
TO academies. Twenty OF 20 per cent
of the colleges now chartered are do
ing work little if any higher than
that of an academy. An institution
with only thousand books in its IL
brary, with scientific apparatus
which has cost less than a thousand
dollars, with building worth less
than $40, 600 and with total income
of So, 900 to IS, 900, cannot do college
work. Probably hundred TO hum
dred and fifty colleges belong TO this
category. These, and perhaps Others,
will, in the course of educational de-
yelopment, come to occupy more
honest position before the world.
Strong academies are needed, side by
side with the high schools of the
State. Many colleges will take a
place in the educational system in one
sense lower but in true sense higher
for it is surely higher thing to do
honest and thorough work in lower
field than to fall short of such work
in higher field.
Next in order the doctor declares
type He finds too much uniformity,
one college being simply duplicate
of It's nearest neighbor. He would
establish institutions for particular
purposes, one, for instance, for the
study OF literature, another for the
study Of the sciences, applied or alb
stract. and still another for the study
of historical subjects, indiyidualism,
In a word, he demands for every col
lege. Closer relationship, too, be-
tween colleges and universities he
finds essential to the end that petty
jealGasies and riyalrieS may be silene
ed to the great advantage Of general
education. And above all, the doctor
stands for system permeating the
entire educative scheme. Summing
up he says:
The small college is certain of its
existence in the future educational
history of the United States. 1t must
pass through serious struggle with
many antagonistic elements, and
must adjust itself to other similar and
sometimes stronger agencies.
In the process of this struggle and
adjustment some colleges will grow
stronger, some will become academies
some will become ''junior colleges
Chat is, colleges doing the work of
the freshman and sophomore years
the high schools will be lifted to a
still more important position than
that which they now occupy. Alto
gether high schools, colleges and uni
versties will develop greater similar
ity of standard and greater variety of
type. At the same time colleges and
universities will come into closer and
more helpful association one with an
other the general result of all this be-
! ing the growth of system in the high
er educational work of the Omitted
States where now no system exists

A FORMER PREACHER.
Well Known all Over the State
Now Lawyer
Charged by His Wife With Mal-Treat-
ment for Eleven Years-In Jail mt
Wheeling Was Once Resident OF
MOrgantown.

WHEELING, Aug. 2s-Attorney M.
#. Dryden, who was preacher before
he turned lawyer, having been men,
Der of the West Virginia conference
of the NJ E. church, and having been
a pastor at several of the important
towns in the state is imprisoned in the
county jail awaiting an inquiry into
his sanity. The case has sensational
features both from the prominence Of
the defendant and from the fact that
his wife has preferred the charges.
Mrs. Dryden makes serious allega tions
which she states can only be excused
by her husband on the grounds OF in
sanity.
The trouble came to a climax early
this morning when Mrs. Dryden tele-
phoned to Chief Clemens telling him
that her husband had abused her be-
yond the point of forbearance and ask
ing that he be imprisoned. The chief
officer detailedEve ofthe night force
on the island to make the arrest.
The officer found Mr.. Dryden at his
home on North York street and took
him to the city lock up where he was
confined for the rest of the night.
The police say that he was intoxicated
when he was brought over. Two
charges, disorderly conduct and as
sanlt and battery upon Mrs. Dryden,
were preferred by Everett against the
lawyer.
When police court was called at 3
O'Clock this morning Mrs. Dryden was
present to prosecute the charges. At
ter consulting with friends, however,
she decided to withdraw the city war
rants and take the case TO the
state. She said that the city
could impose only fine, which her
husband would pay and return to the
house and abuse her again. She said
that her husband had mistreated her
for | years, and particularly during
the last three months his conduct has
been so strange as to cause her to
doubt his sanity. Accordingly she
swore out a lunacy warrant before JUS
tice Rogers. Mr. Dryden was taken to
the county jail to await hearing.
He was very much distressed this
morning.
LATEST PHASE OF THE CASE.
Much expert testimony will likely
figure in the examination Of Attorney
M. f. Dryden, who is held In the
county jail to await an examination
as TO his sanity, the charge having
been preferred by his wife. Justice
of the Peace w. w. Rogers said this
morning he had not set date for the
hearing but would take up the case
soon. Mr.. Dryden is selecting his
own examining physicians. This
morning he sent Justice Rogers list
OF six names but later it was with
drawn and will likely be revised.
II am perfectly willing for Mr..
Dryden to choose his own physicians, T"
said Squire Rogers, s'lsnowing that
they will go into the case extensively.
Physicians must go on record in such
cases and | am sure they will testify
to the facts. ] am quite willing to
accept them and take their judgment
