Three months have elapsed since

And such work as that has been.
The I'LL on the north end runs uT
into the air as II az inclined had
been projected. 1t puts the Univer-
sity Driveway out of the question.
A wagon coming up on the Driveway
will have to be taken up on Beverly
and then turned around before it can
make the grade and then 1t Is ques-
tion whether ordinary horses can pull
q small load up the ill.
On both sides immense fills were
made at great cost. A large amount
OF stone had to be used. The bett ell
plan 1t certainly seems, would have
been to extend the bridge work closer
to either end and reduce the cost and
give better structure.
But mavbe the court knew that the
iron work would not be here for some
time and wanted to get part OF the
bridge built while some OF the people
who were living at the time the con-
tract was let were still living in Nor.

However that may be, the ill OF
sthe north end is entirely too steep
This was necessitated by the high
abutmeut which cannot be under

The fact that the foot-bridge which
spanped the hollow was torn down ant

further fact that money would have

place it during year or more.
Many excuses have been made b,
the bridge company as to the reason
for their long delay. The most pro
bable reason is that there is. no pen
atty attached to non-fulflllment Of
their contract and as other people will
make them pay for delays elsewher,
we can wait while they work for peo-
pie who wont stand for funny bust.

FINE PAPER.
Prof. Deahl of the University Writes
For the school Journal.

For the school Journal.
Prof. j. N. Deahl. of the West Vir
|ginia University, has an excellent pa
per in the last number of the West
Virginia School Journal, on the sub
iect OF 'The Training School fol
Teachers. He believes that while
teachers may be born aud not made,
the training school Is the one thing
needed to prepare them for the work
In which they have determined to en-.
gage, and that the born teacher will
profit, as much by such an institution
as the so-called made teacher saws
the Wheeling News. The training
school is a thing needed right here in
Wheeling and proper work will never
be gotten out of young teachers until
they have training of that kind 1t
is well known fact that beginners
almost invariably make a botch of
their work for year or more, and as
matter of economy 1t would pay the
board of education many times over
to afford them the training that will
enable them to step into the school
room properly equipped. More than
this, 1T would give commissioners a
much better chance to get line on
the abilities of the respective candi-
Gates that come before them. AS
matters now stand, selections are Of
ten made from material that has not
been well tried, and the usual results
follow. If training school were es-
tablished and commissioners would
agree to make selections from such a
scource, or from the experienced class,
the standard of pro ficiency would be
raised many per cent. Indeed 10
many regards it might be considered
the millennium from the sche l;.sLIc
point of view.

HELD FOR COURT.
Feed Store men Taken Before
Justice Hayes



The South Morgantown Feed
Store has broken into court. Ibis
was done on Friday afternoon and
Saturday morning. On Friday after
noon warrants were issued for Edward
Blair and Louis Frey.
Mr.. Frey was found and was taken
before Justice Hayes. The time for
hearing was set at nine O'Clock on
Saturday morning. Blair was not
found on Friday. Frey Is manager OF
the establishment and Blair has been
acting as driver of the wagon.
| L. d. Beall represented the Brew
ng Company and G. A. Goodwin ap
peared for the state. Goodwin swore
out the warrants which were served.
! The charges were selling beer IL
legally. There was no dispute as te
| the facts in the case and the only
place where the opposing counsel
tangled was in the application of thu
law in the case.
1t was claimed by the Brewing
company that they had a perfect
right to sell beer as they had beer
doing while the state took the oppo
site side of the case. Several wit
nesses were summoned and there wa
much public interest when the hear
/ ing came off at nine Saturday morn

Blair came forward at the hearing
this morning with Frey. The Jus
tice held the two men for court unde

NEARLY NINE THOUSAND.
Population of Morgantown is
Increasing very Fast

Nearly Four Thousand People Added
to the Number Living Here During
the Past Year-yast Increase in
Number Of People served by local
Postoiiice-Census made by ONCE
Force.
The census made by the carriers
at the post office shows a population
Of $3.50 for Morgantown. This in
cludes both the West Side and
Scrafford. The latter does not get
mail here but is a psIt OF the town.
Its population is set down at 100.
1t is the location of the Pump Sta
tion of the Eureka Pipe Company
and the estimate of population is
regarded as low.
The figures collected by the car
riers show that there has been a
wonderful growth in the city since
last year. On December | 1900 tree
delivery was established in Morgan
town. 1t is consequently two years
old.
1t wilt surprise many people to
note the growth in the number of
people served by the several carriers
since last year. The following fig
ures will show it. On December
1901 Mr.. Carney delivered mail to
$50. Now he has 1885 on his route
an increase of 555 Mr.. Brand had
TIA one year ago. He now has 1856
an increase of $50. Mr.. Crawford
carried mail for 1905 one year ago
He now visits 2175 every day. This
is an increase of ITO. Mr.. Ander.
son has the banner increase. He
carried 10 1125 ore year ago but now
delivers mail to 2032 an increase Of
GOT.
The total number receiving mai
from carriers one year ogo was 4l24
1t is now 6908 an increase of 27S4
The delivery covers an area OF two
and one half square miles and four
men attended to it. Needless t.
say they have too much ground Il
cover and should have additional
| help.
In he general delivery 1000 people
get mail and 900 patronize the boxes
On the star route going to Dellslov
25 people have their mail delivered
They live In Morgantowh. Scra ffort
; has 100 population.
Adding these figures gives us pop
ulation Of 1888. This Is an increas,
OF nearly four thousand 10 one year
, Moreantown is forging to the from
faster than any oJher town 10 tn,
state. Its growth has just begun ant
IN the next year 1t will be larger ever
than it has been during the yea
which has just closed.
The amount of business done at til,
postoffice has increased but the tota
has been cut down by two factor
J which do not help US now. One 0
these is the matter of postage OF
University catalogues. These now g,
. free. They formerly placed 5000 t,
the credit OF the Office Ia business
done. The rent of the boxes was $500
more than it now is. This is 81, 80,
of decrease but the net increase owe
two years ago is $2,580.l1 The flg
ures for the year ending Decembe
81, 1902 estimated are $l4, 230. 81 ant
for the same time two years ago wer
$l1, 650.70
: During all the changes that hav
taken place the Office force have con
stantly kept pace with the demand
OF the public and have given fine ser
vice. They are getting cramped TO

To the Editor OF the New DOMINION:
In your review OF Mr.. Whiteslde's
presentation of "Hamlet" in your
valuable paper the other evening you
made mention of the fact that the
absence of scenery, which had been
promised, was great disappointment
to the audience. | think that your
sta tement, while entirely correct,
might be misunderstood, and in JUS
tice to myself and to Mr.. Whiteside ]
want to say that 1t Is true and elabo.
rate stage setting of the piece was
promised; and to state that the seem
ern was all on hand but that the
stage of our theatre Is SO small that
none OF this scenery could be hung.
| make this statement to show that
there was no disposition on the part
OF either Mr.. Whiteside or myself u
make promises with no intention Of
fulfilling thea, bet as the hanging Of
his scenery, which was some four Of
five feet too large for our stage was ar

irons of the theatre will be satisfied

PURE FOOD LAW.
Senator c. W. SWisher will Introduce
it at Charleston This winter.

At The potnic, session of the legis-
latuFe one OF the most important bits
OF legislation to be proposed will he
presented by Q. W. Swisher of this
district. He will ask the state sulons
To pass "a pure food law. West vir-
GINA is AT present at the mercy of any
one who wants to adulterate the food
sold IN the state.
This same law or one like it was
defeated largely through the efforts of
a strong lobby backed by lots Of
money. There was very little senti-
aent back of it. This time however
= here is an aroused public sentiment
and it will likely be made into law.
Mr.. Swisher bids fair to become valu-
able to the state not DOLLY in this con-
nection hut also in connection with a
good appropriation for the University
toward which he is very friendly.

steel tippies, short lines Of railroad,
electric mine equipment and battery
OF 500 coke ovens. The mining will
be done principally by machinery and
