"HelIe Bill.

''Hello Bill" the play which Man
ager Swisher presents at the Opera
House Wednesday April oath is one
of the few examples Of straightaway
legitimate farce now before the
American public. Its humor is
spontaneous, well balanced and gen
uine, nor does it require the interpo-
lation Of double entendres to ex-
plot its laughter provoking quail
ties. Although new here, the play
has been seen in nearly all the 9TH
er leading cities of the country, and
in no instances has it failed to justi
fy the claims of its author, or the
promises of its manager. 1t is
nodded in the same crncible that
gave birth to sThe maneuvers of
Jane" "Miss Hobbs" my Friend
from India" "Why Smith Left
Home" and other humorous works
Of like nature. Smut never had
place on the American stage, and
those temporarily profited by such
explorations have found that Sap

ond Mrs Tanquerary' and concoc~
tions Of that ilk were short lived,
and moreover, lett such i'll favored
impressions, that those who partic-
ipated in their presentations have
suffered in reputation in the eyes OF
the public. 1t is therefore to the
credit of the management Of "Hello
Bllp' that their principal claim to
public attention lies in the absolute
purity Of the play. From this it
must not be inferred that its fun
has been relegated to a back seat.
but on the contrary, Manager, who
has seen the play, is authority for
the statement that no funnier or
better play of its kind has ever been
seen here. Its cast, which will be
announced later, include some
of the best farceurs in the profes
sion.

Last Session of the Teachers
Round Table.

Will Be Held Here on Friday and Sat-
urday Interesting Program has
Been Laid 0ut-Publie schools will
Give Public Exhibition On Friday
Afternoon.
On Friday and Saturday of this
week Morgantown will have the
pleasure of entertaining the mem
bers Of the Monongahela Valley
Round Table which will meet here.
There are members of the associa-
ton IN all of the nearby towns but
the attendance is not expected to be
very large. This is due to the
fact that many OF the schools have
closed and the teachers are now en-
gagged in taking a rest.
Those who do come however will
be treated as well as though there
was a large crowd present The
committee on arrangements is com
posed of Prof. w. II. Gallup, Miss
Olive Hodges OF the Morgantown
Public Schools and Hon. Stuart II.
DoN VI AIdl
They have mapped out very fine
program and the subjects to be dis
cussed will be full of interest and
profit for all who may be here.
This meeting is to be the last one of
the year 1t is fitting that this SEES
sion should be held in Morgantown
as it was this place that the asso-
citation was first organized. 1t has
grown until it is one of the strongest
among such organizations in the
country.
Every meeting that has been held
has resulted in good being accom-
plished and in no other way can the
teachers keep in touch with each
other in the manner required for the
best results for their laEors.
Among the forms Of entertain
ment to be given the visitors is a
public exhibition Of the work of the
pupils OF the public schools This
will take place on Friday afternoon
at the school building. All of the
patrons of the school are cordially
invited to be present at this time.
There will be no other exhibition
this year of this kind. 1t takes the
place of the annual exhibit and is
given at this time because of the
meeting which is to be in session.
At the close of school an old fash
Toned exhibition will be given in the
Opera House. This will be the lat
ter part OF May. Miss Nellie Nor
ris is to be the graduate.
The sessions of the Round Table
are at three and seven thirty on
Friday afternoon and evening and
at nine on Saturday morning. They
are open to the public which is cor
daily invited to be present and par
ticipate in the deliberations.

Tells abont Some Law Suits that Never
Happened Parkersburg Liar Eyi-
IDENTIFY at Work in Morgantown--
Nothing Whatever in the Yarn Which
has appeared in Several Papers.
The following fearful and wonder
full fake has appeared in several news
papers with Morgantown date line.
One of the last papers to offend by
publishing it for sober fact is the
News Standard of Gniontown.
The heirs Of DR.. Phineas Bond have
begun an action in the local courts,
which, if won by them, will dlspossess
many persons in this vicinity of their
property. Attorneys have been re-
tanned in Philadelphia by Dr. Bonds
descendants, and the suit, which is to
recover coal lands at one time owned
by DR.. Bond, will be filed within a
month.
DR.. Bond came to Morgantown
about 1850 from Philadelphia to look
after the large land interests in this
section which were owned by Phila-
delphia company. He died shortly
after reaching here, and was hurled
in the Presbyterian graveyard. A
church was erected over his grave,
and, when it was torn down in 1893
TO make room for the present building
the grave of DR.. Bond was found un-
der the main entrance hall. The
stones that marked his grave were In
good condition. The few remaining
bones were removed TO Oak Grove
cemetery, and the grave stones re-
placed.
A newspaper item published at the
time of the finding of the grave under
the church was seen by descendent
Of DR.. Bond and as the item gave the
history of the pioneers search for
land the surviving members of the
family began TO look for the papers
which had been forwarded from Phil
adelphla in 1884 aud which belonged
to Dr. Bond and the land purchasing
company, for which be was the agent.
The search for the papers was sue
eessful and lawyer said that the
heirs Of DIR. Bond have found the
deeds for six large tracts of land in
this county. The heirs have employ
ed attorneys in Philadelphia and will
come here next month to institute
suits for the recovery OF the land en-
braced in the deeds. As the land is
underlaid with coal and oil and much
of III is cultivated, it is now of i'm
mense value.
The Circuit Court clerks office here
was burned in 1876 with all the rec
ords and the titles to great deal OF
land do not extend beyond that date
except in cases where the owners had
deeds in their possession. Morgan
town was incorporated in 1885 and
there was trouble for half century
over titles for lots, owing to the
deeds and original titles or charts
having been destroyed. The heirs Of
DR.. Bond believe they have a good
fighting chance to recover large tracts
Of land for which their ancestor had
the deeds made out in his own name
The suit promises to be the most inn
portant instituted in this county, and
will involve the ownership of property
worth many millions of dollars.
