WANT GAME.
Charleston People would Like to See
Football this Fall.

Now that the football season has
fairly opened many are inquiring
about a game here this fall. For
the past few years we have had a
game about Thanksgiving and they
have all been very literally patron
lied, in fact, quite a society event,
and, as it has become something of
a custom, it will be disappointing
20 the many lovers of outdoor sports
L one is not arranged this year says
the Charleston Mail. As Charles
ton is centrally located and of easy
and convenient distance to quite a
number of universities one could be
arranged without much difficulty.
and it is to be hoped that some of
the gentlemen who have had the
previous games in charge will take
the matter up IN the near future.
Football is exceedingly popular
here, and movement of this kind
would receive hearty support. The
University of Virginia has an unus-
ually strong team this year, and
made a fine showing against Penn
sylyania, and it might be that a
game could be arranged between
this team and that of the University
of this state.

Truth is Often Stranger than
Fiction.

Story Of the Strange EYents which Led
First TO Divorce and Later to q
Marriage Dual Life Maintained BY i
Man with Wives within Eighty miles
ofEach Other.
A letter Co the West Virginia Bar
from Hinton this state gives the de-
tails 81 most interesting legal 10
name which ms teea aaaesef II that
section. Briefly the acts set forth arr
as follows: A railroad engineer mar
ried in the south and after several
years came to Hinton to work on thu
G. e o. leaving lis wife and daughter
in their southern home.
Absence made him forget them In
some measure and he instituted suit
for divorce that he might marry an
other woman. An accomplish aided
him in this with perjured testimony.
The usual publication was made and
the wife was divorced charged with
desertion she knowing nothing what
ever about the matter
Even after this her husband visited
her and wrote her frequent letters.
She tlnsily eame 10 Clifton Forge,
Va, the other end of his railroad run
and he lived with her there without
telling her that he was married TO an.
other woman in Hinton but eighty
miles away.
The wife finally heard rumors OF
another woman and went to Hinton
here she found her worst fears TO be
well founded. She made her husband
admit how he had obtained his divorce
and then entered suit to have the
decree SET aside. This was done.
Wife number 2 asked for divorce and
obtained it.
The first wife also asked for free
dom from the bonds Of matrimony
aud obtained it. She began to live in
liz eNn ~ gue su.au Uoou Nth her
former husband. After living sepa-
rate and apart for several years they
have recently reunited and are now
happily married again. Their little
daughter was the means Of bringing
them together again.
Seldom do the musty records of the
courts bear more romantic or unus-
ual story than this. The parties are
too well known TO use any names and
the attorney in the various cases who
forwarded the story did not reveal
the identity of the people who were
interested in the play on the stage OF
real life.

Auditor Orders Tax Collected from
Sewing Machine Men Likely to be

The auditor at Charleston is again
going after agents who come under
the state tax law with sharp stick.
This time he is prodding those who
sell sewing machines and owners of cir.
cusses. Orders have been received by
Monongalia county Assessors, similar
ones having been issued to all county
assessors, to go after the sewing una
cn1ne men and collect tsoin each agent
$40 a year license tax. The auditor
it is also said does net think that the
circus tax is being enforced TO the
limit In all counties.
IL is likely that The effort TO tax
sewing machine agents will result in
a big legal battle in the courts. The
law under which this tax can be levied
is said TO be relic OF ancient days
when the State deemed it necessary
10 have ''lines ON all agents TO pre-
vent fraudulent transactions. The
tax has not been assessed for many
years and it seems doubtful If it can
be revived at this late day without a
I'd elss "a inc atI5s4sS Ii IS learned on
unofficial authority that the Singer
Sewing Machine Company, which has
an agency here, viii fight it TO the
court of last resort. They claim that
they already pay taxes IN the State
and TO levy special tax on each man
they employ is indeed running 1t into
the ground, to use time-worn ex-
preston.
The State authorities are not pleas
ed at the auditors move although
they admit that under the law he Is
right. The circus tax is heavy one
being about $3.50 day for shows
charging so cents admission. Shows
charging less admission are taxed TO
the same tune, and this is branded as
an injustice of the most palpable
kind. The auditors Office is also on
the lockout for other agents.

that its patriotic motives would be

The Kingwood road is to be

A special from Wheeling has
something OF vast Importance to
Nergpntewn. lt states that the
wholesale merchants board of the
Chamber of Commerce, of Cleve-
land, Ohio, is preparing to make an
extended tour of the state. This is
to take place shortly Among the
towns to be visited is Morgantown.
They will visit Wheeling. FAIR
mont, Morgantewn and Charleston.
The trip will take them into the
leading coal and oil belts Of the
state and it is very important that
they receive the proper kind OF i'm
preston from US when they are
here.
The date OF their visit is not Civ
en- but it will take place very soon.
The merchants are trying to extend
the trade of the lake city and will
make careful survey of the field to
be visited. The B. Il O. has placed
a special train at their disposal and
will do everything possible to make
the trip success.
1t would be good idea for those
who are.interested In the growth and
future Of the town to take steps to
entertain this party when they come
here and to show them the advan-
tages this place has in every way
over the other cities to be visited,
Morgantown owes much of her
prosperity to the fact that her citi-
zens have ever been alert to take adj
vantage of its opportunities This
is another one and it is easy to get
all out of it that there is in it.
The mayor would be good man
to take the initiative IN this matter
lie will receive tie cordial support
Of everyone. The details of the pro-
posed trip could be learned and the
visitors could be properly entertain
ed when they reach this place.
