Mr.. Coombs, who is a layman and not
a lawyer. discovered that the reorganiza-
ton committee had left out its calculations
the fact that in the act of 1864, under au-
thcrity of which the bonds were issued, the
government had never waived its sover-
eign right not to be sued. The result OF
this was that II the roads had been sold
they would still remain subject to the gov
ernmeuts lien. This brought the foreclo-
sure proceedings to q standstill, although
the receiver remained. After making a
vain attempt to have the time for payment
OF the bonds extended for eighty years
and over the roads were forced to come
and beg the government to foreclose its
lien. AZ a result the government got it's
whole debt from the Union Pacific with
principal interest and costs OF suit and
from the Kansas Pacific all the PRINCIPAL
and costs Of suit, while the Central Pacific
was compelled to settle in full principal
and interest. The government thus received
in all over $124 100000. Mr.. Coombs is now
president Of the Manufacturers Trust Conn
pany of Brooklyn.

HOLT TO COME.
Democratic Candidate for Gov.

August 18th is the Date on Which he
VIII. Address People of this County
Democratic County Convention to
be Held on that Day-LiYely Scram-
Bile for County Nominations.
Hon. John III. Holt democratic
candidate for governor who is max
ing a canvass of the state at this
early date is announced as having a
date for Morgantown. 1t is stated
that he will be here on August 18th
which is the time set for the meeting
Of the county convention.
He has made number of speeches
in different parts of the state and
has been making splendid impress
sion. Mr.. Holt may not visit Mon
ongalia at any other time during the
campaign although it is hoped to
have him here again before its close.
It will be the first political adj
dress of the present campaign and
will be heard by very large crowd
,9ol people who will want to see and
hear the Democratic standard bear
er. Mr.. Holt is fine speaker and
he will deliver an address that Will
! be the key note for the party in this
county during the coming fight.
There will be lots of interest in
connection with the convention out
side of the speech which has been
announced and this grows out of
the poor selection made of men for
the republican county ticket. The
rank and file of the party are very
much dissatisfied with the men nom
mated in nearly every instance and
it would not be surprising if several
Of the men chosen would be rejected
by the voters at the polls.
Many men on the Democratic side
of the fence are anxious 20 be nom
mated for several OF the positions
and they will make red hot canvass
for the places urging merit as OPP
posed to the notorious unfitness of
the men who have been nominated.
The very best ticket that could
be selected will be named and the
men on it will be competent to dis.
charge their duties in case they are
elected.

was recently completed but in shape
it will be different being rectangn-

the congregation itself which is
composed of forty two members is

Better prospects are ahead of them
1t is a matter OF interest in this
connection to state that the first
church ever erected in Morgantown
was a Lutheran church and it was
built one hundred and twelve years
ago on the present site of Greenmont.
The language used in those days
was German and when that gave
way to English the members of the
organization allowed their church to
die out After an interval of close
on to a century it again appears to
take a place along side of its sisters
in the field Of christianizing the field
here.

ti0us
The hours of daylight no longer
Nsuffice tor the efforts OF the manage
ment of the West Virginia State
Fair Association in its well studied
and admirable efforts to entertain,
instruct and amuse its tens of thou
sands of patrons. At one time far
visitors were content with an after
noon spent on the grounds. where
they looked at the displays, saw a
race or two, and went home disap
pointed. Then the programme was
extended, and various side attrac-
tions were interpolated, but still, at
best, only part Of the day was
available. Later on the entire day
was given up, the West Virginia
Association setting the example in
this. but even now the entire day
isn't long enough, and the hours Of
night must be called upon to con
tribute their share to the enjoyment
OF those who cannot be present dur
ing the day, or who wish to see the
whole of an out door programme only
available once year. The big Fair
opens September 10th, the racing
starts. on the 18th, with three big
contests every day thereafter, for
purses Of $500, and nightly the
grounds, Illuminated with many
electric lights, will be open until
eleven o'clock, and there will be a
barrel of fun after sunset. All kinds
Of funny races, stage performances,
etc, will contribute to the evening
entertainment. Of the daylight pro
gramme it is enough to say that it
will be away in advance of anything
heretofore given by this up-to date
and energetic management.

HARPER IMPRESSED
President of Chicago University will
Try Living on Is cents Day.

CHICAGO, Aug. President Har-
per OF the University of Chicago is
greatly interested in the possibility
of living on $500 year. He remark
ed to friends that he was determined
to try for one week to see if he could
provide his family table at an ex-
pense OF ID cents a day for each
member, according to the schedule
furnished by Miss Katherine Davis.
He explained that he would not be
gin the experiment until after the
celebration of the silver wedding to-
day at Concord, Ohio, as he did not
want to miss the big family dinner
supplied by the Ohio relatives.
President Harper's friends are
wondering if he meant what he said,
and students are making bets that
he won't stick To it for a week If he
makes the trial. Familiar ones are
skeptical as to the possibility of the
President living under these eondi-
tions even for one week
At a meeting Of the University of
Chicago Danes in Foster Hall, Chi
cago, recently, Miss Katherine Davis
gave number of bills of fare at 30
cents day for two persons. which
she said had actually been tested by
married students attending the Uni
versity Of Chicago This is one Of
them.
Breakfast Fried cornmeal mnsh,
with syrup, baked potatoes. Din
ner-Potato soup, baked liver, boil
ed rice with cheese, bread Supper
-Scatloped beef with hominy, bread
and butter, stewed prunes.
This diet Miss Davis said could
be provided for two persons for 30
cents day. She based her figures
on an experiment with family con-
sisting Of a man and wife and two
children. The household affairs were
conducted under Miss Davis care
ful direction, and the five persons
lived comfortably at an actual out
lay for food of 55 cents each week.

Keyser people are preparing to pro-

been tapped right on the grounds, and
the large bathing pond is being fixed
up for the use of the soldiers. In
fact it is an ideal camp ground in
every respect, and the boys will doubt
less have one Of the best encampments
they have ever had.
