WATCH FOR CHILL.

However slight at this time of year
and In this climate, it Is the forerunner
of malaria. A disposition TO yawn, and

TO THE PRIMARY.
County Committe Relegates
Question Of Senatorship.
Plan opposed By two or Three Members
Candidates will now Proceed to
get Busy View of the Situation from
Republican Standpoint.

On Monday afternoon the Repub-
lican County Committee held a
meeting and as expected decided to
leave the matter of the Senatorship to
the primary. There was some dis
sent ito them but the motion was
carried with only two or three mem
bers protesting to the move. The
winner in the primary will be al
lowed to name the delegates from
this county to the Senatorial con
ventlon.
1t is now up to Mr. Sturgiss and
Mr.. Grant to carry out the announce
ments on the bills of good hot scrap
as to who shall have the plum.
The local correspondent of the
Wheeling Intelligencer in giving a
Republican view of the local sItua-
ton has the following to say
Monongalia county is having the
only really hot political contest that
is known since the county was pref.
ty evenly divided between Democrats
and Republicans. This contest will
not come to close until May II,
the day of the Republican primary
election, but all along the line things
are sizzling. The chief interest of
course centers in the contest between
George c. Sturgiss and E. M. Grant
for the state senate, but there is un-
usual interest in the other offices, es
pecially the county clerkship. The
best informed of the leaders say that
John NJ. Gregg has slight advan-
tage Tor this office, but they say also
that there is no telling how the stu
alton will stand on election day.
Mr.. Sturgiss is making desperate
effort to regain prestige in the coun-
ty, and says thatif he wins this con
test be is going to ask the voters to
vote upon proposed bond issue of
$3.50, 900 to assisting building a rail
road from Morgantown to the head
of Dunkard creek He will also at
tempt to regain his connection with
the West Virginia University. Some
amusing features of the campaign
come to light.

GENUINE EXCURSIONS.
Metropolitan Pleasure for Everybody
The only Circus.

Nearly every one living in this COM
munity will doubtless want to visit
Fairmont on Tuesday May 9Th when
the Adam Forepaugh and Sells Broth.
ers' great consolidated shows, com.
prising double circus, double menager-
Fies, double museums, double hippo.
dromes, will appear there. These
great shows are the only ones that ex-
hibit in New York city. No others
dare even attempt to exhibit In the
metropolis. They opened this at the
Madison Square Garden In New York,
and the newspapers, without exception
stated that 1t was the greatest circus
this country had ever seen. The
menageries contain the greatest num-
Der OF rare wild beasts ever In one
collection. In the circus there are 300
star performers, and in addition to all
the standard circus acts there are a
score or more of sensational features.
There is not space to enumerate them
here, but there Is no possibility of any
one being disappointed who goes to see
these shows, no matter how high their
anticipations may have been raised.
All lines OF travel will offer especially
low rates Of fare and provide all the
necessary accommodation for the
throngs who wish to see them. The
agent of these lines Of travel will
furnish allOnecessary information as
to time OF trains and rates Of fare.
There is one thing certain, aud that
is that these excursion arrangements
will enable people who live here to see
identically the same show and the
only one that is seen by those who
live in the metropolis.

TO BUILD A TEMPLE.
Fine Structure for L. o. o. f. TO be
Erected on old Henderson Homestead.

SIsTERsvILLE, April 22-Two local
capitalists Henry w. Mccoy and E.
A. Durham are soon to commence the
construction of a three story brick /.
20. O. f. temple on ground on Wells
street, recently purchased by them
and now occupied by the Henderson
homestead and the old Model Restau-
rant. This structure is TO be modern
In every respect and will correct the
comparatively inferior appearance of
the business section OF which 1t is to
be part.
Several other building enterprises
out Of the ordinary are maturing and
the indications are for an indefinite
continuance OF the good times here.
The electric railway project is assured
of success and this construction alone
will be a large factor In the prosperity
OF the coming summer.

Bower Makes Improvements

Adam Bowers Barber shop has al
ways been favorite place with the
public OF Morgantown. The best at
tention and the best BARRIERS have
always been given his customers.
He is better fixed than ever to look
after the comfort of those who pat
ronize him now. Five BARRIERS are
on hand at all times so that there
need be no long waits. Drop in
and be through with your shave or
your hair cut while you are waiting
in other shops where there are not
enough BARRIERS to care for the peo-
pie. Bowers rooms have been re-
modelled and refurnished and they
would be credit to place much
larger than Morgantown.

SCHOOLS CLOSED.
Scarlet Fever the Cause of an
other Shut Down.
Probable That no More School will be
Held this Year-COunty Health Board
Orders action Taken Seven Months
of School This Year.

VAuCto hLNtVh AohASsA oS'D.-
of School This Year.
The Public Schools are closed.
They will probably not re open I'M
till next Fall. This announcement
was made this morning and it was
very great surprise to the teachers
and pupils who had gathered for the
days work.
On Monday evening the county
board of health had meeting. 1t
was reported to them that there
were a number of cases of scarlet
fever in the city. After canvass
of the situation it was determined
to order the school board To close the
schools. This was done Immediate
ly.
A member of the school board and
at the same time a member of the
board of health was seen about the
matter this morning. He stated that
an order was issued to close the
schools for twosweeks but that he
did not expect them to open again
this year. :.
The infection is scattered IN all
parts of town. There are but few
cases but these are in such widely
scattered places that Infection is
likely to become widespread at any
time. In view of these facts it is
deemed best to avoid all the danger
possible.
Parents have great weight OF
responsibility on them. If they will
keep their children in for a short
time the disease will disappear. If
on the other hand they are allowed
to run at large there is no telling
when the malady will stop.
Continuing the member stated
that seven months of school work
had been done this year and al
though many obstacles had present
ed themselves in the way OF closing
and other disadvantageous condi-
tions had prevailed fairly good work
had been done. He said that he did
not expect the school to resume.
Before the talk was over he asked
the newspaper man to call particular
attention of the public to the fact
that it rests with them to fight the
disease and prevent its further
spread.

FAIL TO IDENTIFY.
Women Witnesses of the Jones Murder
say that Suspects arrested are Not
the Right Men.

The following from the News
Standard shows that none of the
men arrested so far for the Jones
murder are the parties wanted:
The eleventh arrest of suspects
for the murder of Alfred Jones was
made Sunday by Constable Cooley
and Burgess Mcintyre of Fairchance
He is colored man by the name of
George Washington and he lives at
Fairchance He was placed in jail
Sunday. The grounds for suspicion
are that he boarded train Saturday
evening, the night of the killing, at
Fairchance with ticket to Atch
son, and the numerous conflicting
stories he told as to his whereabouts
on that evening. When arrested his
shanty was searched, and an empty
cartridge shell of the same caliber
as the one used by the person in
killing Mr.. Jones was found in his
house.
Miss Dunlap and Mrs. Harvey,
the latter a sister of Mr.. Jones, who
were both present in the house the
night of the killing came to town
and visited the jail for the purpose
of identifying both Washington and
Palmer and they say that the men
arrested in their opinion, are not the
guilty parties. Palmer is the man
that was arrested Saturday, and is
held for stealing the clothing of a
fellow workman at Connellsville last
Saturday a week ago, the night of
the killing.
