STUDENTS ON STRIKE.
Demand Reinstatement of their
Expelled Fellows.
Cause of all The Trouble Is A Night
Shirt Parade Held Several Nights
Ago, When Many Franks and Tricks
Were PLAYED.

ALLIANCE, O., Nov. 1.-The seat
of learning in this section, Mt. Union
College, is in the greatest of uproar
to-day, for at noon to-day 200 Of the
students went out on strike, and re-
fuse to come back until things clear
up great deal. The cause of all the
trouble is the expulsion of Thomas
Fornear, of Pittsburg, a former stu
dent Of Allegheny College; Frank Carr,
son of Rev. j. NJ. Carr, and Clyde
Bentley, both of Alliance.
Several nights ago more than 100 Of
the male students participated in a
night shirt parade Every one wore a
mask, and they obtained entrance to
the girls hall by breaking in window
sash. President Riker's cow was led
into the building, carried clear to the
third story of the hall, and there tied
securely. Then with a great deal of
noise, singing and cheering the boys
went to the college building. Pictures
of ballet girls were posted in the col
lege chapel, and the chapel bible and
the college keys stolen. Then the
faculty was serenaded, and the wild
night ended with war dance down
on the public square of town. While
the faculty were celebrating on the
expulsion of the ringleaders the presi-
dents COW was carried up the stairs
to the room where the faculty meet
ing was in progress.
To-day the three named students
were suspended, and Fornear was Civ
en- just five hours to leave town. News
of this spread like wildfire, and the
students Immediately assembled IN
mass meeting on the college campus
to draw up petition demanding the
reinstatemento the expelled students.
The petition was refused, and another
mass meeting was called this after
noon when by vote of ITO to 10, the
students went out on strike until
the others are reinstated. ]. d. Pros
ser, private secretary of President
Riker, acted as chairman. a short
time after this meeting broke up the
young women Of the college held a
meeting, and decided to go out with
the male students, and signed their
agreement. Over 100 students LETT
for their homes to-day, and about 20
of these reside in Western Pennsyl-
vania.

The Business Side OF Campaign Man.
agement

The public reading day by day in
the newspapers of the phenomenal sa-
gacity of the managers of great polit-
ical campaigns, has, / think, very
exaggerated idea of the part which
conspiracy and corruption play in a
national election The work of elect
ing President certainly does involve
a great amount of shrewdness; but it
necessitates vastly more hard work.
What is called the work of organiza-
tion is, after all, the essential thing
IN most campaigns; and this implies
not phenomenal capacity for devising
eXpedients of more or less doubtful
political morality, but rather a knowl-
edge of men in all parts of the country
and capacity to do big things in a
big way. | should think Mr.. John d.
Rockefeller, whom we of the Demo
cratic side do not wholly admire
might, if he applied to campaign
management some of the methods
that he has used in building up his
Standard Oil Company, be an honest
linvincible chairman of national
Committee. So, too, might the head
OF some great railroad who knows
how to distribute work among vast
number, of subordinates, and who,
passing the word from man to man
can touch and stir into activity the
humblest section hand 1000 miles
away. That sort of talent is needed
to conduct campaign. But the diff
ficulty is, that such talent usually
finds its richest rewards in serving the
corporations-rai railroad, oil or steel
The man who IS serving the corpora
tions first can hardly be regarded as
the ideal campaign manager; for there
will always be apprehension on the
part Of large section Of the voters,
that with victory he will continue to
serve the corporations in his political
capacity. This is a depression, how
ever. The point / desire to make
clear is that running campaign now
is not, in any considerable degree, q
matter of chicancery. IL is matter
OF hard, straightforward, earnest
work. Nearly everything that il
done might be bulletined on bill
boards IN as big type as circus uses
without shocking the most nicely SEN
sitiye political reformer. From 1.-THE

Hew the Country Has Grown.

The census totals given out by the
Bureau yesterday show the growth of
the whole country. The increase OF
10, 225, 1854 is fraction less than u
per cent. of the total population of
$1,000, 756 of ten years ago. The pres
ent total of rs, POS, 220 puts the coun-
try into the front rank of Western ma
tions, exceeded only by semi-Asiatic
Russia. The growth is very satisfac-
tory-not merely large numbers, but
. the population is of good quality. The
foreign elements, which at one time
were regarded by some as dangerous,
are rapidly assimilated, while every
year a greater proportion of the in
crease is native born.

THE CITY OF WHEELING.
Will Make An Effect to Improve Its
Government,

According to a recent rumor, sew
eral representative business men of
the city Of Wheeling have been APP
preached and asked to accept a
place on an independent ticket at
the coming city election in January
and, it is said, this lookout com
mitttee has met with success. 1t is
alleged by the leaders in the move
ment that the city has heretofore
been in the hands Of ward politicians
and irresponsible persons who work
principally for their own interests
at the expense OF the city, and it is
proposed that an independent ticket
be placed in the field and that the
names of representative citizens, ir
respective of party affiliations, be
placed thereon. There are in the
city 1876 saloon keepers, and out of
that number eighteen are in the city
council Were all other trades and
professions represented in the same
ratio, the council would have up

is regarded as threatening to the
best interests of the city, and it is
thought that the election of an in
dependent ticket composed of the
best citizens will remedy the dan
ger. 1t is not too much to say that
such a movement when brought be-
fore the public will be heartily en-
dorsed and supported by the better
element.

Large Number of Extra Police Ma de ii
Lively for the Misehievous Lads
Little Damage Done in the Four
Towns Many Parties and Other So
cial affairs.
Wednesday night was Halloween.
The night passed without the usual
number of pranks being played. The
police forces of all OF the four towns
were largely increased and every pre-
caution taken to prevent any unusu-
al disorder. In Morgantown proper
all of the special police belonging to
the fire company were on the force be-
sides number of Others and the reg
ular force was all out.
Seneca also had number of extra
police on. There was some law break
ing and the board walks in several
sections Of town were torn up but the
police soon stopped this. In South
Morgantown the boys got a better
chance but they did very little consid-
ering every thing. In other parts OF
Greater Morgantown they were able
to get very little accomplished.
Most of people looked for much dis
order but they were disappointed.
This condition was due to the extra
precautions taken and the evident in
tention of the officers to permit of nc
foolishness.
The social side of the evening was
very pleasant one and it was gener-
ally observed Mr. and Mrs. Givens
gave taffy party ia honor Of their
little daughter. A large number of
her small friends attended and they
enjoyed 1T very much.
A large party OF young people from
town went out to Mr.. and Mrs. James
Sanders at Vaudeville and returned
after midnight They had a delight
full time Of it. Mr.. and Mrs. Cephus
Jacobs gave party in honor of Miss
Lulu Kelly their grand daughter.
Many of her young friends were pres
ent and passed the evening very pleas
antly.
The Misses Grant entertained about
a score of their friends at their hos
pitable home on Front street. The
evening was spent in dancing and
other kindred amusements. The af-
fair was great social success.

HOW III Is DONE.
Civil Service Appointments and How
They are Made to Dodge the Law.
Moundsville Daily Echo

In the Washington Post is Il list
of clerks in the departments at
Washington who have been pushed
into civil service appointments by
being transferred from other places
in the United States. Besides others
relating to the First West Virginia
district there is this item:
Mrs. Florence c. Bratton, of
Moundsyille. W. Va, appointed a
clerk IN the postofiice there Deeem.
Der Is, 1899, and transferred Janua-
~ 6, 1907
Now, who is Mrs. Bratton? She
never lived here and there has been
no person transferred from the
Moundsville office to Washington.
Persons who are familiar with con
ditions at Washington are satisfied
that Mrs. Bratton is a Washington
City woman appointed by the con
gresham from this district and cred
tied to town in his district to get
around the civil service examina-
lions. Civil service took effect here
January 1st, 1900, and therefore
this woman's record is made to show
that she was clerk in the Mounds
vile Office few days before the civ
il service regime so an examination
was not necessary.
They say that In a case cited from
Sistersville the man Is actually from
Michigan.
The quote of appointments at
Washington allotted TO the congress-
man from this district is between 25
and 30 and he has the places all filled
yet only two Of the people are actually
West Virginians. Most OF the people
filling these places that rightfully be-
long TO West Virginians are said TO
be well known Washington City
women.
L his is the reason why so many
First district Republicans including
the Marshall county faithful, had to
come back from Washington without
the job that had been promised them.

County Chairman Allen is very we'll
satisfied with the prospects OF the
