j. Wesley Beatty who was sentenc-

Preston county aud was granted a re-
prieve to April 18th by Governor At
kinson has been granted another re-
spite OF IA days by Governor White
to allow the case TO be taken to the

A petition has been put in circula-
tion at the University among the
students praying Gov. White to com
mute the. sentence Of the condemned
in the face of the adverse decision OF
the Board Of Pardons in the case.
1t is hardly thought likely that the
effort will meet with success as the
Governor has already refused to act
having been guided by the decision of
the board which reviewed the case
exhaustively and set the seal of their
dfsapproval on any such NOV e.

CHRISTIANCHURCH.
Observance OF Easter Helpful and In
spring.

The Sunday morning service at the
Christian church was of an especially
helpful and inspiring nature, one Ia
which from beginning to end, was
felt the spirit OF the day and through
out which its deep significance was
never once forgotten.
The inspiration for the hour was
found In the beautiful story of the
Resurrection as given la the sixteenth
chapters OF Marks gospel
The theme OF the pastors sermon
was 1.-THE Rolling Away of the Stone
the text having been taken from
Mark i9:3,4.
The main line OF thought was pref
aced by a tribute TO the constancy
OF womanhood as illustrated by those
women who were 'last at the cross
and tlrst at the tomb.
Reference was then made to the
needlessness OF the true christians
troubling himself about obstacles that
seemed to lie 10 his way. II we but
do our part ''God will send his angels
to roll away the stone
The fact of the Resurrection is one
Of the best authenticated of all his
tory. As well might we refuse to be-
t lieve that James Watt once lived
when we see Ia the steam engi ne
well might we doubt the story OF the
life OF Lincoln when we witness the
freedom OF men whose chains he
loosened as to doubt the historical
fact that Christ lived and died and
rose again
The practical application OF the
facts OF the resurrection To the life of
each individual was impressively
brought to the consideration OF all
present.
Every sou. is possible habitat Of
the resnrrected christ. Many obsta-
cles may lie in the way OF his being
fesurreeted In our lives Just AZ the
stone seemed TO bar the egress from
his tomb
The great stone that must be roll
ed away is that of sin in general.
Especial attention was given to the
specific sin of sel6shness as hind
rance TO the indwelling Of christ's
spirit and TO the power of love in eff
fecbing It's removal
The sermon concluded In an appeal
To all to surrender themselves to
Divine power that He might remove
all things that hinder them from re-
alizing the resurrection OF Christ In
their own lives.

Looking Toward Their Buiiding III
This County Mass Meeting will be
Called Later 0n-SOuth Morgantown
Lets Contracts for Several Improve
meHts.
The first move looking towards
by the town council at its meeting on
Monday night. A committee consist
ing of Mayor Stewart, Recorder Arnett
and Councilman Smith was appointed
to look after the matter They will
arrange for mass meeting Of the cit
liens OF the county TO be held in con-
junction with the county court to
talk over the proposed plan and see
what can be done in that direction.
At the council meeting on Monday
night Director j. FL. Stewart of the
Experiment Station and Hon. George
G. Sturgiss were present and proposed
to council that some action be taken
to rid the county of the intolerably
bad roads with which it has contended
for the past hundred years. Mr..
Stewart told of the plan which has
been put into operation by the gov
eminent.
The government supplies the ma
chinery and the superintendent nee
essary to build roads. These roads
cost from one TO three thousand dol
lars mile. They are not dusty IN
summer nor muddy in winter. He
said that the cost Of keeping the roads
on the four hills going out of town
was greater each year than the inter
est on all of the bonded Indebtedness
of all the four towns together.
There is but one side to the good
roads movement. 1t is TO be hoped
that all public spirited citizens will
aid the movement and will be present
at the mass meeting when it is called.
South Morgantown Council met on
Monday night, They let the con-
tracts for the excavation OF sewers
over there to Jake Hess, for the sewer
pipe to w. i'll. Bailey and for the curb
ing to /. N. Weaver. The work will
begin at once The bids were all re-
markably close together showing that
some very close figuring had been done
by the bidders.
The contracts for setting the curb
ing, for paving and for matchmaking
were not let and will be given out
later. Nothing whatever was said
about the election and the meeting
passed with no action being taken 10
reference to the matter.
The council let the contract for
printing one hundred bonds for sixty
dollars TO the Acme Publishing Con-
pany. This was done on the recon-
incubation Of r. E. L. Allen without
bids having been asked for or any one
being consulted outside Of the Acme.

WRONG PIG
BY the Ear has Mr.. Richard Randolph
Mcmahon.

Mcmahon who was turned down by
the Senate when his name came up
for confirmation as a member of the
board of regents of the university,
blames the whole thing on John Nc
Graw The fact is Mcmahon was
turned down because he was appoint
ed as a democrat, when he was no
democrat, thereby keeping that party
from having its just representation
upon that board. 1t is an open se-
cret that he did not get any votes
worth speaking of, and it is crediting
McGraw with power he hasn't and
doesn't claim to say that he was the
cause of the republican Senators vot-
ing against confirmation. The fact
is Mcmahon knows he was sailing
under false colors when he pretended
to be a straight democrat, and ne is
looking for something to "put up a
heller" about, and as everybody has
taken to laying things on MeGraw,
he thought that would be a good
place to lay the blame that really be-
longed to himself. Gazette.

The Flint Glass Workers Union
gave their first annual ball at ehe

The committee in charge spared no

The music for the event was fur

CHARMING PERSONALITY.
Thomas Dixon Makes a Hit in Okla.
hOma.
Times. Oklahoma City.

Saturday evening, October four
tenth, is one to be remembered by all
who listened for charmed hour and
a half to one of the most gifted lee
turers before the public to-day.
Long before the appointed hour,
the Baptist church was crowded and
when punctually at half past eight,
the Rev. Thomas Dixon appeared,
standing room alone remained. The
Introductory was performed in a most
pleasing manner by Miss Virginia
Streeter and the great man began his
noted lecture Backbone.
Never before has Oklahoma City
listened, spell bound, to such display
of e!oquence and oratory. At first,
the rapidity with which words were
uttered was noticeable but this was
soon forgotten. He did what he
would with his audience for they
laughed aud cried and held their
breath by turns as one story followed
another with lightning rapidity.
In beauty of diction, Mr.. Dixon's
lecture is above criticism. The per-
lection Of his contrast in describing
Northern and Southern environment
show him to be master of rhetoric and
in his thrilling story Of the runaway
train, there was not one present who
did not feel that an orator of the
highest and purest type stood before
him.
Above and beyond all dramatic
power was the charming personality
Of the man, Thomas Dixon.

to himself The court had about the
same number of soldiers at Sian Flu,
but it was probable that the troops
Of Tung Flu Sian are better drilled
and better armed.
1t was believed that the Monaghan
rebellion was brought about through
agents OF Prince Tuan and General
Tung Flu Sian Lii Hung Chang
thought there are about 5000 regular
troops in Mongolia and inclined to
the belief that they have not joined
in the rebellion. He did not think
the court is in danger and thought
the object Of Prince Tuan, who was
last reported at Ming Hsu with 10000
men, prepared to resist arrest. and
General Tung Flu Sian is to create a
diversion of interest in order to force
unconditional protection of them
selves.
Prince Ching, who, as relative.
may be considered to take the court
view of the situation, thinks the re-
bellion is storm in teacup. He
says the present court is loved and
esteemed by nine-tenths of the pop
ulation of China and that the same
proportion of able-bodied men in
China would rise to protect the ex-
listing dynasty The empress dowager,
as the adviser of the emperor, holds
a place in the affection of the people
not dreamt Of and not understood by
foreigners. Her slightest wish is the
emperor's law, though he is by no
means the figurehead the foreign pow
ers frequently suppose. The emperor
recognizes her ability, invaluable aid
and advice.
The remaining bodies of Americans
were shipped homeward yesterday.
They now number 54 and will leave
on board the transport Egbert today.
The Egbert will also take 81 mill

London, April 9.--In dispatch to
The Times from Pekin. dated Sun
day, DIR. Morrison comments upon the
blow to Russian prestige in China
resulting from the check to Russia's
ambitions regarding Manchuria.
This blow Is all the more severe,
he says. because Japan, whom the
Russians have affected to treat with
the utmost contempt, has had the
largest share In dealing it.
There is little doubt that Russia
will renew the struggle in some shape.
1t is remarkable outburst Of popular
feeling which has thus enabled China
to Withstand Russia. All the appeals
against the convention concerning
Manchuria were addressed to the EN-
peror. 1t is therefore difficult to be-
lieve that the empress dowager has
not been effected by the defeat OF the
policy OF which her henchman. III
Hung Chang, is the studrfest ex-
sonent.
