Road Blocked.

As result of the recent rains the
road above Jimtown Is blockaded. A
large slide came down filing the road
completely. A force Of men are re-
moving the obstruction. In the
meantime people from that section
have to drive around by way of Laurel
Point TO get into town. The ferry
boat is not running. The road at
that point will never be fixed perma-
nently on account of the nature of the
hill side which will continue to come
in until all Of the Hill gets into the
river. 1t will be hard matter to
get around the difficulty.

The results of the city election
contained some surprises and some
of the things accomplished were ex
pected by every one. Greenmont
showed up with a surprise and so
did South Morgantown. The for
mer had apparently decided to stay
out of the election and the latter
had expected to go in Independently
of the council They refused these
actions.
After dinner on election day some
of the voters obtained the poll books
and held an election A large ma
jority of the qualified voters of that
town participated in the election.
There were nearly sixty votes cast.
Last town election there were
sNat seventy cast. This shows a
fAiority of the people ever there
wsA3t to take part in the town gov
ersSanent If they have to come in. j..
J. Sturgeon was chosen by large
majority.
There has been some dispute over
the legality of the vote but good
lawyers advised the voters who act
ed to take the steps that were taken
and they claim that the action is
legal and will be upheld
In the third ward the old town
council was elected The people
evidently thought that they hadn't
had fair shake and that they
should have chance TO serve their
time out.
In the fourth ward j. W. Wiles
led all candidates. He and Rufus
West will represent that ward in
council. Wiles it is said expects to
move in short time from the ward
and then queer condition will
arise. A councilman will be repre-
senting a ward but not living in it at
the time.
South Morgantown took no part
whatever in the excitement. Their
counsel states that they will resit
any attempts to force them into the
city and will enjoin the 'evying of
any tax that may be attempted to
be laid on them by the new city gov
ernment. They are going into the
fight with blood in their eye and
say that they expect to win. The
new council will appoint members
form South Morgantown.
Those who are favorable to the
charter did not vote because they
expect to have better men appointed
than would probably have been
elected owing to the opposition over
there to the plan. Council will or
ganize in May and they will then
appoint the two members from
South Morgantown.
George G. Steele carried every
ward with majority over all in each
ward His remarkably good run is
pleasant surprise to his friends.
Col. Fast was not an active candi-
date and had forbidden his friends
to use his name in that connection
Steers friends worked hard for him
and they got remarkably fine vote
for their favorite
w. K. Arnett was chosen with no
opposition One or two scattering
votes were cast against him but he
had the place of Recorder cinched
from the start.

RIGID "EXAMS"
Provided for Aspirants for Army
Jobs.

Those who Fail will Get no Second
Chance Training schools are open
ed West Yirginians Named Scott
Trying to Depopulate the State.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., April ga
long list of second lieutenants under
the new military establishment has
just been completed at the war de-
partment and will be announced very
soon. The names OF the young men
selected by Senators Scott and Elkins
are on the list. Those who have been
selected by the senators will be noti-
fed to appear for examination, the
time and place being designated. The
examination will be very severe one,
and the officers in the adjutant gen.
erals Office while not inclined TO talk
are nevertheless OF the opinion that
there will be large number of fall
ures.
In great many instances the per-
sonal solicitation of United States
senators has resulted in naming APP
plicants who, it is said, will not be
able to pass the examination.
Promotions have also been recon-
mended for men whose record will not
warrant it, The story is out that
Secretary Root will insist that every
candidate who falls down In the ex-
animation will be summarily disposed
of, and not given second chance as
has often Teen done heretofore.
La Washington there are several
preparatory institutions where
young men who are ambitious for
military life are coached for the ex-
animation. They have been doing
rushing business for the last two
months. One or two West Virginia
boys are here taking course in these
schools. 1t is insisted on at the war
department, however, that preference
will be given to those applicants now
serving in the Philippines. There is
a report current that the war depart
ment would prefer to send new men
rather than retain those who have
been there for two years or more.
Since the capture of Aguinaldo it is
considered that there will be no more
active campaigning in the philippines,
and while the administration will at
all times be prepared, and will take
no chances on possible uprising
among the natives it is conceded that
many of the former plans have been
abandoned.
The men recommended by Senators
Scott and Elkins it is learned, for
commissions will be examined at the
United States barracks at Columbus,
Ohio.
In the division of military plumso
West Virginia was sadly left al
though Senator Scott registered a
kick at the war department that West
Virginia should be given few more
appointments. His protest however
proved useless.
In the general distribution of pat
ronage West Virginia has Jared ex-
ceedinglY we'll. We're it not for the
fact that every position from spit
toon cleaner up is under the civil SER
vice, Senator Scott would have every
West Virginian provided for with
job of some kind 1t has been said
that If the United States provided
every little village in the Philippine
islands with postmaster and left
the appointment of postmesters to
Senator Scott, West Virginia would
soon be depopulated.
