OFF NIGHT
BAND PLAYERS GO ON 4
STRIKE.
Orchestra at the Orpheum Consists of
The Kappelmeister, Two Trombones
and Two Clarionettes

Captain Bergers band did not show
up to the usual standard last night at
the Orpheum theatre. In fact it was
declared very poor, and the reason
therefore was a strike that made the
popular neppelmeister so wrathy that
he sat and sawed the violin as if it
were an enemy he was cutting up.
The members of the band with a few
exceptions declined to play for a bene-
fit, on their night off. 1t was a benefit
for the boat clubs. and the musicians
for some reason got it into their heads
that they didn't want to work. The
idea was so nearly unanimous that Ber-
ger was helpless. The men went to the
theatre and they stood around but Chey
would play nary a note. Berger threa-
tened and caiOed and said things in
German, but it wouldn't work
Before the curtain rose on the first
scene Berger STROBE to the orchestra
leaders seat and seized a viOlin-instead
of a baton. Only four men were with
him. Two had clarionettes and two
had trombOnes. In the back of the
theatre stood other members of the
band, gleefully anticipating the music.
Angry but nothing daunted, Kappel-
meister Berger gave the signal and led
off with his violin. The two trOmbOnes
and the two clarionettes Joined in, and
there was music in spite of the strike.

TWO NEW POSITIONS
DEPUTY TAX COLLECTOR THOMP-
SON MAY LEAVE.
Likely to Serve at Eva for a Time.
Electrical Inspector VIII Have An
Assistant

Two new positions in prospect in the
Executive and Judiciary buildings have
caused activity among several appli-
Icants for each, and members of the
Republican Central cOmmitte are being
buttonholed for endorsement. An as
sistant to Electrical Inspector w. r. c.
Hasson will probably be appointed next
week, and Chief Deputy Thompson, in
the tax collectors office may be trans
feTred to Eva, leaving room for an
other man in Pratts office.
The tax collector is considering trans
ferring Thompson to Eva to open a new
office and take charge of that district,
but this would not necessitate the resig-
nation of Thompson, or any change in
his official position. He is deputy for
Oahu, and can serve at Eva as well as
at Honolulu.
Eva district has greatly increased in
value and is a very large district, and
1t is thought that there is too much
work theref or one man to handle. For
this resOn the transfer of Thompson is
being CONSIDERED. 1t would probably be
only temporary.
The news that Thompson was to be
transferred caused a number of men
who would like to get a place in the
tax office to begin working wires, and it
was reported about town that ThOmp-
son was Withdrawing altogether If he
goes to Eva, another man will probably
be given a place to keep up the force
here
Hasson's assistant will probably be
appointed Monday. The electrical
inspector said today that he had receiv-
ed number Of applications.

MERCHANTS MEET.
Letter from Bell Management
Read to Meeting
Communication Does Not Show Signs
of Compliance With Requests Of
Merchants-Pr Prospects Indicate that
Peoples Phones will be Installed.

A well attended meeting of the
Merchants Association was held in
Municipal Hail on Tuesday evening.
The meeting was called to consider
the matter of phone service. 1t re-
suited in the expression of intention
on the part of the merchants to
abandon the Bet Phone unless some
thing unforeseen occurs.
1t will be remembered that a let
ter was sent to the Bell people in
Pittsburg laying the complaints of
of the merchants before them and
asking for improvements in the SER
vice. To this very chilly letter
was received in reply.
When this letter was read before
the meeting there was some hot
talk elected. The letter did not
smooth over the matter at all and
intimated that instead Of improve
ments being made if any changes
came about they would be in the ma
ture of curtailment of the service
rather than extension of 1t.
Vail of the members wanted to talk
AID they GRATED to some extent.
The sentiment was unanimous in OPP
position to the Bell under the cir
cumstances and the offer of the
Peoples phone was laid before them.
The terms of this will not be Civ
en- out for publication for a short
time and in the meantime some 9th
er matters will be arranged between
the two parties. In case the PEG
pies company will agree to the terms
of the Merchants their proposition
will be accepted.
All of the Bel phones in the
stores of town will be ordered out
on April first and Peoples phones
substituted. Another meeting will
be held in a day or SO to finally set
tie the matter. 1t is thought that
satisfactory arrangements may sbe
made
Much improvement has recently
been made in the Peoples exchange
and many more Improvements are
to be added in the near future From
. thirty to fifty phones will be affected
by TIE move of the Merchants be-
sides others that will be indirectly
affected The Bell has more phones
in Morgantown in proportion to
population than in any other town
in the state However the manage
: ment talks as if it were as independ-
ent as a hog on ice and the Mer-
chants don't feel like standing it.

The crowds became so dense that

CHEAT CANYON SOLD.
Popular Cheat River Club has
Dissolved.

Property has Been SOld-Dr. L. C.
White and Prof. w. p. Wiley the
Purchasers-Dimini Member
ship and Borrowing Debt Responsible
Club will be Open TO Public After
This.
The Cheat Canyon Club property
the well known Resort on Cheat, has
passed into the hands of private
parties who became the purchasers
at sale under the deed OF trust
which was executed by the Club at
the time the house was built. The
purchasers are understood to be w.
p. Wiley and l. c. White.
Thus passes out of existence one
of the oldest and best known Clubs
of our city. Their Club House has
been favorite resort of our people
for several years, and many merry
times have been enjoyed by the
young and old within its halls, De-
cupying as it does the most beauti
full point on the river it has been
one OF the points of interest to all
strangers and greatly admired by
all lovers of fine scenery. The mem
bership of the club at the beginning
was large and composed of our best
citizens, but like all clubs it changed
with time, the membership dropped
off stock was forfeited for non-pay
ment of dues, there was an unpaid
debt on the property which had
been neglected, and when the ques
tion came before the remaining
members to assess themselves or
sell the property to pay this debt,
they voted unanimously TO sell.
But our people will be glad to
learn that this does not mean that
the Cheat CANYON Club House will
be closed as a Resort; on the con
trary, we are reliably informed that
it will be wider open than hereto
fore; the latch string will hang on
the outside of the front door; the
property will be improved and beau
titled; caterer will be put in
charge who will be ready to serve
toothsome meal at all times; the So
eiety of our city can go out and
cool themselves Tor day or q week
or a month at their pleasure; the
young folks can have their parties
without limit; in fact, instead of be-
ing more exclusive by the change it
will be more democratic than ever
before, and will doubtless become
headquarters during the heated
term for the society of Morgantown.
We need just such Resort as this
to complete the summer attractions
of our town and the old club mem
bers as well as all our society peo-
pie will enjoy it more than when in
the hands Of an exclusive club. Our
people are to be congratulated upon
this acquisition to the public at
fractions of our growing city.
