SYSTEMATIC WAR ON lN.ECIS.

The attacks Of injurious insects prob
ably cause the loss Of several millions
of dollars i'm Massachusetts alone each
year. This has no, always been the

however, could be either i'm part or
wholly prevented if the proper meth

ROMANTIC WEDDING.
Nuptial Knot Tied With Groom
Sick from Fever.

vMr. Harry Mathews Taken Ill on the
Eve Of His Marriage to Miss Blanche
Semans- Arrangements had to be
Changed Performed This
Afternoon.
! The marriage of Mr.. Harry Mat
thews. of Terra Alta, and Miss
Blanche Semans took place on Wed
nesday afternoon.at the home OF the
brides. parents The groom was con
fined to sick bed suffering from
an attack of fever. This prevented
the elaborate church wedding that
had been arranged and the ceremo.
ny that took place was witnessed by
the parents of the contracting par
ties only.
Mr.. Matthews arrived on Tues
day afternoon having risen from q
sick bed In order to come here. His
physicians advised against it but he
would admit of no postponement or
I change in the plans other than to
s transfer it from the church to the
home of the bride.
In the presence of his parentsand the
parents of the bride with the fires Of
well developed case of typhoid fever
coursing through his veins the words
! were spoken that bound his life with
that of his bonny bride. The ceremony
was performed by Rev. AN. Buchan-
an at 2:30 this afternoon.
1t had been intended to take an
extended bridal tour but instead of
this he will be taken to the City
Hospital there to make the fight
against the maladv which has laid
hold OF his system.
The wedding is one Of the most
romantic and unique that has ever
taken place in the town aad there
are few parallels to it in the state.
The many friends of the young peo-
pie extend their best wishes and
join with us in the wish that the
groom may soon be relieved OF the
disease which at present has the
mastery
Many out of town guests had
gathered having arrived before it
was known definitely that the church
wedding could not take place. The
presents received by the young coup
lie were many and costly. Their
plans for the future now depend on
the issue of the fever. That it may
not be protracted or severe attack
is the wish OF everyone.

Old Veterans VIII not be Back Rec.
ord Made this Year.
| The Varsity football team has dis
banded for the season. They had in
tended playing another game or two
but they failed to get any teams for
the last two dates and they have brok-
en- training and are now matter of
history. They haven't made the most
wonderful record ever established this
year but they have played fair game
in face OF many drawbacks.
In the first place they came to Nor
gantown after every other team in the
country had been playing football for
two or three weeks. They had no
support from the students and they
bad to fight for every thing they got.
Hill coached them gratuitously and
did a very good job of it.
The team was green however.
There were so many new men In inn
portant positions that they could not
get the experience in time to make a
good team this year. They played all
that was in them and made fair
showing. The game at Marietta was
not fair test and o. S. u. and w. &
j. are both teams OF the first class.
Next year it is hoped TO have very
strong team. There will be a number
of new players IN school and the ma
lority of the old ones will be back next
year. McWhorter who has played
foot ball longer than any other man
on the team will finish in June and
will not be back. Others Of the old
men who have represented the Varsity
on many hard fought field will also
finish up and leave Morgantown. The
outlook however in the face of all this
is said TO be encouraging.
