GREAT THINGS.
West Virginia always Comes to the
Front when It is Demanded Of Her.

There was 10 surprise when the
spring time fall of three inches OF
snow in Pittsburg was followed by a
telegraphic an nouncement that Is
inches of snow had fallen in West
Virginia making roads impossible
and playing havoc with trees and
fences. Twas ever thus ID the war
born always something great
er than what happened in other parts
of the nation. In West Virginia the
snow is always deeper, the hailstones
larger, the rain more violent, the
floods more destructive, the snakes
more numerous and more venimous,
and so on to the end Of the chapter
OF happenings says the Pittshurg
Commercial.
Now the reported fall of Is inches
may be correct as anything is liable
to happen when the weather is being
SO outrageously mismanaged but it is
hoped that West Virginia will have
some respect for the ambitions Of
other states when affairs have reached
comparatively normal condition.
1t has been calling in the past when
fall in some other sections Of hail
stones as large as walnuts precipitaued
report that hail the size OF goose
eggs had bombarded West Virginia;
when fight with six foot black
snake near Sharpsburg was followed
by a story or drove of Is foot mon
sters routing picnic party near
Parkersburg; when thunderstorm in
Pittsburg inspired tale of yerita-
BILE pandemonium Of the elements in
the vicinity Of Logan, w. Va, or
when chase after supposed mad
dog in Allegheny was followed by the
terrible details OF widespread cpl
demic Of rabies in some backwoods
district Of the state Of great happen
ings. West Virginians should bear
in mind that there are others DESTROYS
Of drawing the long bow. and should
give them a chance once in while to
show what they can do in that line.

Young Peoples Union.

For some time the young peoples
societies of the various churches in
town have been contemplating a
union OF their forces along certain
lines of work. A committee of fifteen
three from each society, has been dis
cussing plans for such union. Each
society has signified by unanimous
vote its willingness to enter into such
an organization.
Tomorrow afternoon at three
o'clock union meeting of all the So
cieties will be held at the Baptist
church for the purpose of effecting an
organization.
1t is hoped that each society will be
as well represented as possible in this
first meeting as the success of the
movement largely depends upon it.

Col. GILMORE started to work again

Col. GILMORE started to work again
on the baseball feld at the university
and will have 1t done in few days
and let the boys have it to play on.
They have been held back great deal
by lack OF some suitable place to prac-
tice but the weather has prevented
the completion Of the grading any
sooner.
SAMUEL JENKINS and J. w. Hughes
Of this place have been appointed to
positions on the State Goedetic Sur
vey under Professor /. G. White, who
has charge of the matter ia conjunc-
tiOn with United States Government
officials. 1t will require several years
to complete the work which was or
dered by the recent Legislature, the
general Government defraying half
the expenses. 1t is understood that
both gentlemen will decline the posi-
tions thus rendered them, as they do
not care to tie themselves up In that
kind OF situation for so long a time,
and for the other reason that the pay
is not as attractive as it might be. =

Philadelphia.

Boston, April 13.-Senor Sixto
Lopez, the Filipino who lives
here as representative of the
so-called Filipino government, made
public the correspondence he has
had with William J. Bryan In
reference to the statement that he
Lopez) acted with discourtesy to-
wards Mr.. Bryan at the public meet
ing in Philadelphia on March IL.
Senior Lopez in his letter says he was
honored by Mr.. Bryan's presence at
the meeting. The note that was
handed to Senior Lopez on the plat
form, and of which the press has
made SO much he says, was a well
come from a Masonic lodge.
Mr.. Bryan, under date of April s..
said that he regretted inability to
meet Senior Lopez. He assures Senior
Lopez that the report to which he re-
ferred-the alleged act of discourtesy
gave him no concern, as Il am ac-
customed to have the opposition pa-
pers misconstrue everything with
which | am connected" In closing
Mr.. Bryan says: Il was disappoint-
ed that our people did not last fall
realize the dangers of imperialism.
and feel sure that they will sooner
or later return to American princi-
pies"

DECIDED AGAINST QUARANTINE.
County Officials will Take no action In
the Matter.

FAIRMoNT, April 13.-The officers
of this county have arrived at the
conclusion that It would be merely
spending time and money to establish
quarantine against Taylor, an adj
joining county, under the present cir
cumstances. A telephone message
received here this afternoon from
Grafton, the infected portion Of the
county, states that there are about 28
cases Of smallpox at that place and a
number more are expected to break
out with the disease, but in almost
every instance the parties reside on
the Southside. One mile from
Boothsville, 10 Taylor county, there
is a case of varioloid, but as yet there
is no case In this county. Grafton
people are taking every precaution to
prevent general spread Of the dis
eases.

There VIII be n Commencement Ball
This Year Military Features to be
Prominent = Conyoeati0n Sermon
Sunday Cadet Band Doing Well
Benefit to be Given By Dramatic Club.

/
Arrangements are being made To
give a grand military ball during
| Commencement week. Some OF the
cadet officers are working on the plan
and every one hopes that they may
meet with success la their efforts.
Formerly ball OF this kind was al
ways given during Commencement
week and 1t added very greatly TO the
| pleasures of that season. In later
times however the plan has fallen In
to disuse and nothing has been done
| in that direction. 1t is to be revived
! this year.
| 1t has not yet been decided where
the dance will be held nor the exact
date further than to decide that it
will be some time during Commence
ment week. More definite announce
ment will be made soon. 1t Is ex-
pected TO make the ball one OF the
most elaborate ever given In the town.
The cadet band is making great
hit. They are practicing faithfully
and they are making fine progress.
T. Getz Hill Is acting as band MASTER
Jean Cooke is principal musician.
The convocation sermon will be
preached at Commencement Hall on
Sunday evening at seven thirty. Rev.
Ira M. Wallace OF the Lutheran.
church will preach the sermon. lie
will be assisted by the pastors Of the
other churches OF town. The meet
| Ing will be full OF interest to every
one and there should be a good crowd
out to participate in it.
Prof. Patterson is getting ready to
start the Dramatic Club to work on a
play which they will produce for the
benefit Of the baseball team. They
will pick out q good play and when
they give their benefit there will be u
large crowd present. The ability OF
the several members OF the club is
well known and the play that they
may give will be all right.
The work OF the present term Is
running smoothly and everything Is
slipping along as Ii on ball bearing.
There is little news about the Univer-
sity because everything Is running 50
noiselessly that no one ever hears any
thing.

A Valuable Publication.

The Register acknowledges the re-
ceipt Of a copy of IAN Inside View of
the Formation of the State of West
Virginia with characteristic sketches
of the pioneers in that movement, =
by William p. Wiley at present Pro-
fessor of Law in the State University,
and formerly the editor Of the Regis
ter 1t is most valuable compila-
tion of the facts and circumstances
entering into the formation of the
State, and has a peculiar historical
value in that it very largely deals, not
only with the personnel of the leaders
in the effort to separate the western
counties from the old State, bat de-
tails with great minuteness the events
commencing in 1860 and ending in
1863 leading up to the organization of
the State. These preliminary matters
little understood by the present gen.
GRAFTON, are set forth with great clear
ness and elaborate detail and care
full perusal OF the volume will result
in wealth of information hardly to
be obtained in any other form without
great research and exhaustile inquiry.
The book is one that should have a
wide circulation throughout the
State. AS text book for the higher
schools it would be admirable. Prof
Wiley had peculiar advantages in ac-
cess to letters, documents and hidden
sources of information besides having
been personal spectator of much he
describes. He is to be congratulated
upon the result achieved. Wheeling

BODY FOUND.
Abe White and Horse Found
in Cheat River.

The Thirty Foot Hole at the Upper
Ferry Yiefds dp its Prey-Q Queer Ac-
cident Ends in a Tragedy -Floater
Seen In the RIVER Here by Little
Girls and Landed at Beileyernon.
Friday afternoon this paper
told of the disappearance of Abe
White who was cook at Mont
Chateau and the search which had
been started for him and for the
horse and buggy which he had when
last seen alive. The horse and bug
gy were found a few minutes after
the paper came out. They were at
the bottom of thirty foot hole in
Cheat river.
At six thirty last evening the
mans body was also found near by.
1t had not fioated very far alter it
had sunk.
White was apparently about thir-
ty five years of age. He had been
cook at Mont Chateau for several
months last summer and was to
serve in the same capacity this COM
ing season. He was IN town on
Thursday and got very drunk
When he left town he was asleep.
Going down the hill to the upper
ferry the tracks of his buggy went
from side to side of the road aimless
ly. They led to the waters edge
and disappeared on the verge of a
very deep hole with steep and slip
perry banks 1t is thought that he
was asleep and that the horsee mad
dened by thirst plunged into the
river drowning both himself and un
conscious driver. The animal be-
longed to George Robinson.
As soon as the tracks were found
going into the river the stream was
dragged by Mr.. Voigt and others.
They soon found the buggy and
several hours later they discovered
the body of the man who had been
drowned.
Attempts have been made to 10
cate his relatives but it has been a
hard matter to do. He has been
fCIy ScClCblNC duu LIDS uOG UOltt HAL
people anything about his affairs
1t is known however that he has rel
atives in Pittsburg These have
been communicated with and they
will probably direct what disposi-
tion is to be made of the body.
This week the body of foater
was found near BeIlevernon and
buried there after short examina-
ton. The description of the man
as given by the papers down there
corresponds to that of foater seen
by two little Morgantown girls
week or so ago. Matte Daft and
Anna Willis were crossing the sus
pension bridge going home when
they saw man floating in the river.
They watched 1t until they were per
fectly sure what they saw when they
ran home very badly scared and
told what they had seen. They
were laughed at and no attention
paid to their stories. When the
reports came of the finding of the
foater down the river it tailed with
the description as given their par
ents by the little girls. 1t was very
likely the same man.
