Applles For a Writ of Pronibi-

FAIRMoNT, w. VA. Dec. 29.V
THIS afternoon Col. w. w. Arnett,
of Wheeling, and Attorney w. r..
ID Dent, of Grafton, applied to
Judge Mason for writ of prohi-
bition restraing the board of
regents from interfering with DIR.
| Hartigan in the discharge Of his
duties as professor, in the West
Virginia University and also to
prohibit them from removing bin
from his present position at the
time set by the majority OF the
board ut their recent meeting at
Purkersburg.
The petition reoites the fact that
the proceedings of the board were
unlawful in every particular. The
members of the board were not no.
tilted of the intention of the pro-
ceeding against the professor in
the case. No notice was given to
him. No opportunity was given
given him to appear in his own be-
half. No charges were filed against
him. And no reason was given as
to why he should be removed.
The action taken was simply al
notice to the professor that after
the first of March he was no longer
to be connected with the Universi-
ty in his present capacity and that
in the meantime he was to hold no
classes and his connection was vir-
tually severed from the institution.
The protests of the minority of
the board in which they state that
the action WAS illegal and beyond
the power of the board under the
law is made part of the petition.
These facts are set forth by four of
the members of the board in Wig
orous protest against the action of
the board aud this is incorporated
in the petition.
There are two courses of action
open to the court in case that he
decides to take any action. 1t is
the rule to always do something
when suoh proceeding is brought
The petitioners have no doubt that
this will be done.
Judge Mason will either grant a
temporary writ and notice will be
served on tho board to appear at q
certain time and show cause, if any,
why the writ should not be made
permanent. Or he may serve
notice for them to appear and ans
wer why it should not be granted
as temporary writ.
In case it is granted even in a
temporary form DR. Hartigan will
be left in his position and will
meet his classes as usual until it is
decided. If it goes against him
he will then be out until other
legal proceedings can be taken.
A writ of mandamus will be ask
ed for in case the writ of pro-
hibition fails, The board will have
plenty of opportunity to appear in
court and tell what actuated them
in making the removal as they did
in the star chamber method that
they used.

He Mennt Rusiness.

A Davenport boy went to New
York, says Success, to solicit a
position to travel for a wholesale
house. He went five times to
one establishment, and every time
was told that they did not want
to engage him. He tried to pre-
vail on them to allow him to make
a trial trip, but to no avail. FL
nally, he proposed to buy email
stock of goods; this was business
and they were ready to sell. He
then went on the road on his own
account and made money, so when
the firm saw that he meant busi-
ness they were ready to employ
him and he is now wealthy, being
a member of the firm. Not a boy
in hundred would have had his
persistence, after refusal. There
is nothing like courage or faith as
an aid to success. Another men,
ber of that firm had only Ia cents
when he reached New York to
seek his fortune.
