ANOTHER GREAT YEAR.
Steady Advance Made in Every Direc.
ton by The pittsburg Post.

We notice that 1.-The Pittsburg
Post" has had its share OF the pros.
perity Of the business world in the
past year and has maintained its DO.
sition at the head of the newspaper
procession in Pittsburg.
1.-THE Post" has always aimed to be
clean, decent newspaper, devoid of
sensationalsm, giving as accurately
as possible all the news that was prop
er for publication, carefully keeping
outof It's columns such matters as
would give offense or do injury. That
1.-THE Post" is esteemed and appreci-
ated at its full worth is proved by the
steady progress during the year just
closed.
The daily and the Sunday issues
are keeping pace with each other,
both in the matter of subscribers and
in value as advertising mediums. AS
to news, special features and illustra-
tions, the reputation of the daily and
Sunday post" is so well established
that it is scarcely necessary to go
into details here.
1.-THE Post" enjoys the distinction
Of having the solidest circulation of
any newspaper in the city. No
schemes to promote mushroom sub
scription lists are ever employed, the
plan of the management being to
make the paper so good that people
read it for its worth, not because they
are solicited, with premium offers and
coupon claptrap. Calculations infia-
ted by pernicious methods are of no
value to the newspaper or the adver-
tisers, and the latter are the first to
learn this fact THE Post, too, has
less returned copies than any other
newspaper in Pittsburg, proving again
the solidity of "The Posts" circula-
ton, for it is easy enough to boast of
a large output from presses when
copies are printed only to be returned
and sent to the junk pile.
During the past year "The Daily
Post" increased its subscription list
2, 448 copies and 1.-The Sunday Post"
9,6l0.
Its advertising record is quite as
remarkable, showing an increase of
1892 columns of advertising over the
previous year

TWO CENTS

was formed in square for fight
ON the defensive
The firing had just begun when
rabbit was started in the square and
ran here and there In desperate en-
deavor to break through the lines.
One of the men noticed it and shout
ed to companion, "See the rabbit,
amt he scared2" The answer came
back promptly; "If hadn't any
more reputation as tighter than
that rabbit | could beat him run
ming 1t was his reputation among
his comrades that kept him in place
and it was so with every man there.
This lighting pride cemented the
men together sas command and in
spired them as individuals
Mr.. James described Quantrell as
an Ohio boy, school teacher, TWEEN
ty seven years old with two sides to
his personality. A fair haired, blue
eyed, mild hammered gentleman on
ordinary occasions, but u demon in
battle. He was in the fight when
Qnantreil was shot aud states that
the bubble in the newspapers as to
his being alive is all rot, he died the
night after the battle and Mr. james
was present.
As to the years that followed the
disbanding of this command much
is familiar. Mr. James is satisfied
that when man has bad name il
is no trouble to sustain the reputa-
ton and is now busy living down
the things he did not do as well as
those in which be had hand lie
takes great interest in the theatrical
company he is with, but denies that
he has aspirations as an actor The
only drama in which he has been
prominent figure was a real one, and
the theatre was such as the world
will probably never see again.

The NJ. E. Revival Meetings.

An excellent congregation was In
attendance last night. DR. Leech
preached from Paul's words, 'He is
able also TO save them to the utter
most, that come unto God by Him,
seeing he ever liveth to make in
tercession for them.n He showed the
nature of gospel salvation, mans need
OF it in an unconverted state, it's
freeness to all applicants TO God
through Christ, Its fullness and com
pleteness-and the fact that the pres
ent is the time to secure it, for Paul
says Nov is the day of Salvation. "

listed in the effort to make the proper
representations to the war depart
ment on the subject and it is felt
that something good may come of it

SOME ENCOURAGEMENT
Extended Oakland Citizens in
Washington.
The War Department Promised to In
spect the Oakland Site Before Per-
manent Camp is Ch0sen-The Sena-
tors and Representatives Interested.
Better Feeling aroused.

The recent act OF the united States
Congress making an appropriation
and directing The appointment of a
board to select four sites for the loca-
tion of permanent camps for the diff
ferent branches of the Army, is bear
ing fruit and Oakland as well as Gar
rett county generally may be benefited
largely by the act.
Last week there was puOlised in
these columns well written article
taken from the columns of the Nor
gantown NEW DOMINION touching
upon the subject and laying before
our readers the great natural advan-
tage of this section for the location of
such a camp. Immediately following
upon this publication interest in the
projected location was aroused and on
Sunday evening Messrs Daniel E..
Offutt, Fred A. Thayer and Gilmor
S. Hamill went down to Washington
to confer on Monday with the board
of army officers having the selection
of sites in hand. This board is COM
posed of Maj. Gen. Nelson A. Miles,
as president; Generals Young, Otis,
Kobbe, Brooke, Randall and Mac
Arthur. Gen. Brooke is chairman of
the sub committee having the selec-
ton OF the site for the eastern camp
in hand. This camp must be located
between the 37th and 41st parallels.
Garrett county is almost the centre Of
these lines says the Oakland Repub-
liean.
On Monday Messrs Offutt, Tnayer
and Hamill called at the War Depart
ment, in company with Congressman
Pearre, and there had conference
with Col. Reber, recorder of the board,
who stated that Gen. Brooke was then
at Governors Island, New York.
Communication with him, however,
was had over the long distance tele-
phone. General Brooke assured the
Oakland people that the matter would
not be decided until the ground at
Oakland could be looked over by the
committee.
The gentlemen from Oakland also
had interviews and very pleasant
ones, with Senators McComas, of
Maryland, and Elkins and Scott of
West Virginia, who eyineed great in
terest in the matter and assured them
that they would lend their influence
toward having the camp located here.
The board will meet about the goth
inst. to make selection of the site,
and in the meantime the Garrett
county ground will be inspected and
considered.
Messrs. Thayer, Hamil and Offutt
are loud in their praise over the re-
ception accorded them by Congressman
Pearre, who took pleasure in serving
them. 1t was only through his per-
sonal efforts that they were enabled
to see the various parties and TO &C
complish what they did.

Interesting Flies Of Nswspapers.

The Library of West Virginia University

teresting and valuable files of old newspa-
pers by Miss Sarah Jane Maxwell, of Weston.
One of them is file of the National Tntelli-
geneer from 1880 to 1860 or 81. The other is
file of the Wheeling Intelligencer from
1861 to 1885. Included with this gift were
many miscellaneous newspapers, some of
them being of much value, particularly GER
tain Richmond, Virginia. papers of the time
of the Civil War. Miss Skinner, the Libra
rian, and her assistants, are collecting all
Of these papers and having them properly
bound. The gift to the University came
through Mr.. HUI Maxwell, the well-known
historian of West Virginia.
A valuable and interesting file of the
South Branch Intelligencer from 1865 to re-
cent date, has also been presented to the

They Must Resign from any Political
Organization whatever and be good.

Postmaster General Smith has is
sued an order to the postmasters in
West Virginia and to all postmas-
tiers throughout the country direct
ing them to withdraw from all polit
ical organizations
This order will doubtless cause
much CONSERVATION among the post
masters N West Virginia, as nearly
every one of them holds some petty
office in the State or national Re

At the close of the Fall term at West vir-
ginia University, four or five State Cadets
were dropped from the roll because of their
failure to make the required standing III
their academic studies. This rule has been
in effect for three or four years and is found
to have the desired effect in keeping up the
high standard of scholarship among the
young men who are benifciaries of the
State. Cadets receive free uniforms, free
books and free tuition, and the University
administration thinks that for these reasons
