This mode of receiving business
education has proven very satisfactory
to many whose business interests
would not. premit their presence at

The reputation of the College has
gone abroad. This is evidenced from
the letters received from the soldier
boys now in the Philippines These
boys expect to be mustered ont

rival in this country they wish to
take up business course in the
Mountain State Business College.
The result of the good work of the

being ably filled by graduates that the
success and reputation of the schoo

been very fortunate indeed in secur-
ing such excellent quarters in Cum
berland as those afforded by the
Belvidere Hall is one of the hand
soonest and best equipped college
buildings In the country, as all say
who have visited there. The Hall is
especially well adapted for Business
College purposes. Mr.. Sine will
give the Cumberland school great
deal of his personal, attention divid
ing his time between the Parkersburg
and Cumberland Schools. Some of
the Parkersburg faculty will go to
Cumberland to assist in the work
there and additional help secured for
both schools.
Mr. Sine has been careful to secure
the services of instructors who are
foremost in their profession.
In matter of school equipment he
has spared no expense in atfordin

RUIN Or TIE CORN CROP.
Western Bankers say the Loss IL ara
100000 Bushels.

New York, July 24--The Journal
Of Commerce which telegranhed to
large number of bank presidents in
Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri and Kansas,
today viii print a special report,
which says.
There is every reason for believ-
ing that the early reports of damage
to the corn crop by the drought have
net been exaggerated. On the contrary
it is quite evident that the situation
is very much worse than at first re-
ported and that now much of the In
jury is beyond repair
1.-THE region Of worst damage lies
within an irregular circle of about
600 miles in diameter, with ST.
Joseph, Mo-, as an approximate cen
ter.
The following question was sent
to the bank presidents

jury in generally between rs and30 per
cent.
& 1t would seem from the returns
given that loss of 90 Der ceut in
this district would be an exceedingly
III oderate estimate This would in
dictate loss of at least 3l2 900, coo
bushels in the region of greatest
drought. and probably considerably
more. 1t should be borne in mind
that these figures an reports refer on
ly to the small district of greatest
damage. No attempt has been made
to ascertain the injury elsewhere.
The damage to live stock is con
siderable in Missouri and Kansas, but
very slight in Iowa and Nebraska.

MORE STREETS FOR THE CITY.

Solicitor Heinhnrdt Has Commission
Appointed 10 Assess Damages.
AT the request OF City Solicitor David
j. ReinhArdt, acting for the Street and
Sewer Department, Resident Judge
William o. SpruHnce has named George
S. Capelle, Charles w. Pusey, Alfred
Gawthrop, William Lawton and A. L.
johnson, commission to assess dam
ages for the beds OF the following
streets, which the department desires to
acquire and open as public thorough
fares: st '7--
Twenty.third and Twenty fourth from
Market to Pine. Pine from Twenty
fourth to Vandever avenue, Jessup from
Twenty-third to Twenty fifth, Second
from Searles to Lincoln, Third from
Searles to Union, Fifth from du Font
to Union, Clayton from. Lancaster
avenue to Fifth, Scott from Lancaster
avenue to Seventh, du Pont from Lam
casrer avenue to Third, Clayton from
Lancaster avenue to Banning and Rod
ney froin Lancaster avenue to Banning.
The commission is to make its return
on Saturday, September l4th. Building
operations are planned for nearly all Of
the streets which it is proposed to
acquire. and it is likely that the Street
and Sewer Department will have them
graded as soon as practicable after they
become oity property, although they
may not all be graded at once. The
opening of new trolley lines has made
both sections of the city crossed by the
streets desirable for building sites,
hence the demand for graded streets.
