The Board of Regents Of the West
Virginia University are in session at
Morgantown Yesterday the Presi-
dent of the University, Dr.. Raymond,
presented formal charges of insubor-
dination and incompetency against
Prof. Robert a. Arms ing Prof Rob-
ert \. Douthat, Prof. James W. Hart
igan, Prof. james S. Stewart and
Prof. Samuel B. Brown, with the rec
ommendation that they be dismissed.
President Raymond also preferred
charges against James II. Stewart and
Runsel L. Morris, but it is said their
removal will not be insisted OH by
him. The accused professors will file
counter charges against President
Raymond and will insist upon his re-
moval. The regents believe they are
confronted with one Of the gravest
situations the institution has ever
been placed in and have resolved to
give every man a hearing.

Wireless TeleGraphy.

1t is said that successful experiments
have at last been accomplished in wire
less telegraphy, and this would undoubt-
edly be a good thing and revolutionize
many ways of doing business. One
writer has gone 50 far as to say that
wireless telegraphy is the greatest dis
covery Of the age We beg to differ.
Don't overlook HoStetter's Stomach Bit
ters when you talk about the great

other medicine in existence. 1t cures

EDITOR OF THE REGIsTER-Sir-For
many years past one of the leading news
papers of our State has had at the head
of its editorial columns a readymade
ticket for the coming presidential cam
paign, but necessity, which knows no
law, has, like death, cruelty interviewed
and taken away the second name in the
ticket. the candidate for the vice-pres-
idential nomination.
Ever since this cruel bereavement,
the numerous readers of the aforesaid
newspaper have been looking each week
for a substitute to fill the vacant space,
one who could be depended on TO stick
through fair weather or foul, through
rain or shine but, alas, the space is
still vacant, and hope deferred maketh
the heart sick" Why should this be.
when we have here in our own county
IA distinguished citizen who can fill the
bill and the vacancy? True, he is some
thing Of a Populist, but so is the head
of the ticket, and a pair of colonies
should beat one major.
We respectfully propose the name OF
Col. r. W. Morrow TO go on the ticket
with Col. w. j. Bryan, and request that
our delegates to the Kansas City con-
vention be instructed to vote for them
first, last and all the time. Col. Nor
rows well-knOwn tact and diplomacy
will stand the party in good stead in
many desperate emergency, and his
conciliatory manner will bring many
a doubling mind to the support of the
ticket. But while suave and cOnciliat-
ing in manner, Col. Morrow is possessed
of a stiff spinal column and is a fighter
from way back, and will hold the helm
and guide the ship of state with the
strong grip of "a master Of his profess
sion, and make every man do his part.
And as for stick, in the language Of
the immortal Jim BludSo, Hell hold
his nozzle agin the bank till the last
galOOt S aShore. ADVOCATE.

Remarkable Cure of rheumatism.

About three years ago my wife had
an attack of rheumatism which con-
fined her to her bed for over a month
and rendered her unable to walk a
step without assistance, her limbs be-
ing swollen to double their normal
size. Mr.. S. Maddox insisted on my
using Chamberlain's Pain Balm. I
purchased a ffty-cent bottle ard used
it according to the directions and the
next morning she walked to breakfast
without assistance in any manner,and
she has not had similar attack

Republican County Convention.

Pursuant to call, the Republican
voters of Jefferson county held a cou-
vention at Charlestown last Saturday
TO select delegates to the State and
district conventions. 1t was very
spirited affair, and for two hours there
was an excellent representation OF
Donnybrook fair-albeit all the fight
ing was done with the tongue. The
two factions of the party IN this coun-
ty seemed to have been about evenly
matched, and to add to the comPlica-
ton a number Of delegates who had
been fixed on one side had later been
unfxed by the other George Koonce,
one of the veterans, was made tempo
rary chairman; this was not agreeable
all around, so a motion to make him
permanent chairman was vigorously
opposed. H. Z. Munday, Of Shop
herdstown, and S. H. Higinbotham, Of
Ripon, were placed in nomination for
the Office of chairman OF the county
executive committee, the duty of this
officer authorizing him to also act as
chairman of all conventions. The fight
got hot over this question, and for
two hours there was stormy time,
some of the delegates threatening to
hold separate convention. While
the orators were unburdening them
selves Of more or less sanguinary SEN
timents, the leaders held a conference
in another room, which resulted in the
adoption of a compromise measure.
State Senator .Getzendanner proposed
George II. Childs, Of Harpers Ferry,
as chairman, and in the interest Of
harmony the other candidates with
drew and Mr.. Childs was unanimously
elected chairman of the executive COM
mittee for the ensuing two years. The
convention ordered that the county
executive committee should consist Of
eighteen members, who are to be APP
pointed by the chairman.
T. L. Jeffords, w. II. Walker, H.
E. Munday, L. ]. Shirley and H. I.
Mcdonald were appointed a committee
on resolutions, and they presented a
series of resolutions which were adopt
ed by the convention. The resolu-
tons instruct the delegates to support
II. c. Getzendanner,of Jefferson coun-
ty, for Auditor; A. G. Dayton for
Congressman, and A. B. White for
Governor. The resolutions further
endorse the course Of Senator Stephen
B. Elkins approve the stand taken
by President Mckinley last fall when
he said in his message to Congress
chat there shall be no duties i'm
posed on the trade of the island Of
Porto Rico" and the convention dis
approved of the civil service laws,
rules and regulations as now admin
istered.

county in the State, congressional and
