Waynesburg and West Virginia rail-
road was completed last Friday. The
road is 20 run from the coal regions
OF Unioatown and Waynesburg to the
Ohio river at Benwood, where it will
connect with the Wheeling & Lake
Erie, Cleveland, Lorain & Wheeling
and the Nickel Plate railroads. These
connections will give the road an ex-
cellent opportunity to compete with
the Baltimore & Ohio and Pennsylva-
MIA railroads for the lake and Chicago
trades. This road is said to be part
of the big movement to open up the
coal lands of West Virginia.

they pile on the nuts till it is about
five feet high. l have seen RATS of

FEMALE STUDENTS EXPELLED.
The Unhappy Result of "a Girls Sc
cret Society.


OXFORD. Ohio, March 24-It was made
public today that three girl students Of
the Western. a college for women. were
expelled yesterday and ten others sus-
pended as the upshot of faculty raid on
an initiation by a secret society that was
in progress about midnight. The society
had existed secretly in the school about
seven years, although the rules of the
college strictly forbade organizations of
that kind.
President Leila T. Mckee and her as
sistants burst into the room where the
society was in the midst of it's ceremonies
and captured not only the conspirators,
but the complete membership roll Of the
socitey, its archives, and secret ritual
The members, it is said, were locked up
over night, and yesterday the faculty held
court in their cases. Judgment was pro-
nounced in the college chapel in the
presence of $50 schoolmates, and when it
was made public that the penalty was to
be expulsion and suspension the whole
school burst into lamentations. Two Of
the young women who were expelled out
and would have been graduated in June.
Two were the daughters Of trustees Of
the college, and their fathers interceded
in their behalf without accomplishing
anything. Several of the suspended girls
are the daughters of clergymen who often
preach in the college chapel.

Wis Coal and Coke Company will, as soon

ally a suburb of Piedmont.

paper, he remarked that he intended to
inaugurate new method In managing
the town of Moundsville. He would fol-
low the Sheldon plan and do as Jesus
would do" Now the Mayor is flooded with
suggestions from everywhere. The letters
are crosses between commendation of his
resolution to improve the city govern
ment and pointed instructions as to how
it should be done. He has been asked by
up-to-date newspapers for statements

TIE RACES At BENNING
Programme for the April Meeting
Just Issued.
The Events Will Bring Together
Some of the Best Horses Now in
Spring Handicap Qualities of
the Youngsters to Be Tested.

The programme just issued for the first
nine days OF the spring meeting Of the
| Washington Jockey Club, at the Benning
track, is a very attractive one, and the
| events will bring together the best horses
now in training, and the weights are so
carefully adjusted that the finishes should
be close and exciting.
Special interest will be taken in the
Benning Spring Handicap, carded as the
fourth race on the opening day, for which
| is entered the great mare Imp, winner of
the Suburban Handicap last year and
| many other stake races and handicaps. the
gross value of which was over $50 600.
From latest reports it is learned that she
is in grand condition, and a sure starter
She carries the top weight 132 pounds.
The other entries in this event are:
Bannock III: Counsellor Weinberg, ia;
Charantus 109; Brisk, 109: Kentucky Colo
mel. 107; knight of the Garter, I07: Boney
Boy, 105; Nosey. 106; Prince Of Verna. loo;
Guy Jacques. 105; Beau Ideal. 103; Sidney
Lucas. 102: Gen. Mart Gary, 101; Lady
Lindsay. 100; Golden Rattle, 9S; Frey!ing-
hueysen 90; Sensational, 9S; Naboclish
9S; Cupidity, 81; Speedmas, SO; Robert
Metcalf, %; Reoonah, SO; Thermos, %;
Lexington Pirate, 80.
1t is not pTODaDle tnaJ all tneSe Will
start, but there are so many that will be
sure starters that the race should be a
superb one.
Another race carded for the first day is
the Arlington Purse for two-year- -oids, and
as a great many of those likely to start
have never faced the flag before, the con-
test will be watched with much interest,
as it will give a line on the qualities of the
younger division now quartered at Ben
ming.
The track is in good condition. Every
thing is favorable for fast work, and there
is no doubt that every horse will be right
up to the notch when the bugle sounds
calling them to the post. The course looks
spick, span, and new, as the buildings and
grandstand have been newly painted, the
fences put in thorough order. and with
good weather the coming spring meeting
will be the most successful of any ever
held at this track.
There are plenty of horses at the track
even now to make all the fields large
and with the 100 or more to arrive from
New Orleans there ought to be an over
flow.
The Washington Jockey Club has always
been a stickler for clean racing, and in
that respect has escaped turf scandals.
1t has aimed to give its patrons clean. en-
joyable sport. and no Objectionable char
acters are permitted within the gates.
