SOME UNIVERSITY NOTES.
Minor Matters about the big school
Everyone of the States Counties now
Represented.

For the flrst time 10 the history OF
West Virginia University every one OF
the tifty five counties in the state is
represented in the student body. At
various times befom students have
been here from all of the counties, but
never before were all Of the counties
represented at the same time. The
University long ago ceased TO have
any any OF the signs OF local insti.
tuition, and the attendance from the
remote counties in the state and other
states and counties increases every
year. For example, Nicholas county
now has eleven or twelve students
here; Mcdowell county has about a
dozen; Jefferson county also has about
dozen; and Mercer has probably that
many. Brooke and Hancock coun-
ties, In the extreme northern part OF
the state, have large delegations.

structed by the national officers OF the

its failure, 1t was promised the strike
would be ordered Nothing now re-
mains, itis declared, but TO order the

A strike can only be avoided by a
change OF attitude on the part OF the

before Saturday. 1t IL for such word
