The following summary Of political
crops conditions 10 this and nearby

News:
acknowledgements crop is a
complete failure. Early outlook for
Judge Mason's volunteer nomination
bulbs indicated satisfactory yield,
but the dislike Of the eminent jurist
for the centipeds that must be fed in
state campaign caused that gentle
man to refuse the proper irrigation
for the sowing that had sprung up
voluntarily. The Mason crop is aban-
doned. Another gubernational crop
let that gave early promise of consid-
cradle maturity, was that set out and
carefully tended by Charley Swisher.
1t locked quite thrifty a fortnight
since, but an active growth OF secre-
tary of state vegetation has complete
ly choked out Mr.. Swisher's governor
hip crop, This latter growth is look
ng well and with the proper irrigation
at which Charlie is past mas
ter) it will probably harvest good
yield.
MONONGALIA - Frank Cox is
hoeing his row for the judge of the
Court Of Appeals.
HARRISON - Crops are scarcely
advanced enough to make an intelli-
gent report possible at this time.
Only thing up is @. w. Lynch's cir
cult judge sun-nower. Clean, reliable
variety and gives promise OF luxurant
growth. Neighbors have sown same
variety in Harvey Harmer's garden
and he is undecided whether to culti-
vate it or pruDe his senatorial plumb
tree for another crop. Some one SOW
ed a handful Of ,Washburn early sheriff
seed some time ago, but it hasn't
sprouted yet.

Forquer will be MajOr-Dana Miller
will Return Other Officers in Line
for PrOmotiOn-Eew Law is Great
Success Aroused New Interest
in University.
Major j. M. Burns returned Tues
day night from Mountain Lake Park
where he has spent the summer at
his cottage. His family came back
week ago. He had very pleasant
summer.
Major Burns says the prospects
for full cadet cops of 225 are ex-
cellent. He expects that many
cadets to enlist before the first of
October. This will mean the promo,
ton of several officers to have charge
of the new company and more rapid
advance in rank than the officers
had anticipated.
Capt. j. c. M. Forquer ID the SEN
Tor captain in the corps and is in
line of promotion for Major. He
will get that place. Dana Miller,
who has had Yeas experience at
West Point, will return to the Uni
versity and will probably be made
adjutant of the corps. He will grad
uate here next June. Ed Richards
who has been adjutant, will probably
he promoted to captain.
Major Burns Is very much pleased
seeming success Of the law providing
for the appointment of cadets by the
delegates in the different counties.
He was largely responsible for the
passage Of the bill, and takes con
siderable pride in it.
He thinks the effect has been OF
great Importance to to the Univer
sity. He has watched the county
papers closely, and has found that
cadets have been appointed in nearly
every county in the State. The fact
OF cadets appointment has been
heralded TAR and wide. In most
cases, the young men are of the best
families, and have won the appoint
ments by real merit.
Next year, there will be gre atel
rivalry for the places. Other young
men will want the appointments
and the selection of the cadet will
be an event of general interest IN
every county of the State.

OLD VOLCANO FIELD
UP A NEW GUSHER.
Gas Well Struck which Drillers have
Thus far Been Unable to Control
Opens new Possibilities.

The district of the celebrated old
volcano gas field, Wood county, West
Virginia, has again broken forth with
gusher, which the drillers have been
unable to control since it was struck
last Saturday. Hardly since the ia
nous old strikes in the Volcano field
in 1859 has strike in this district
caused more excitement in local oil
and gas circles.
The new we'll was struck in the
Henderson, field, two miles from the
old Volcano. 1t was drilled in by
the Wilmerding Oil & Gas Company,
which controls $40 acres of land in the
field. The company has already or
dered three more wells drilled and
leasing of land in the field is very
active.
The Big Injun sand was barely
tapped when the heavy rush Of gas
came and the drillers have been work
| ing hard ever since to control it. The
| first Cow Run sand showed we'll for
oil, while the salt sand showed both
gas and oil
The old Volcano field has been one
Of the most famous in the State and
has been pumping continuously since
1859. The new strike opens new pos
sibilities for the district, both for oil
and gas.

cred at Last.
Manager b. F. Stout arrived on
the late train from Fairmont last
and may be expected to get busy
with Lis foot ball team right away.
The first thing to be done is to start
practic,ng.
A coach has been secured. He
was wired this morning to come Il
Morgantown and expected to arrive
here tonight or tomorrow. He is n
f. Trout. He is at present in Pitts
burg where he is engaged with the
Summerville Engineering company.
Trout has played guard on LAT.
ayette for four years and last year
was captain of his team. The regu.
lar coach had to quit during the
season and Trout finished the season
coaching the boys.
Local players who know him say
that he is all right and they recon
mended him highly. Ed Richards
secured him.
Among the PLAYERS who are al
ready here are Waugh Core, Binga-
man, Seaman, Martin, Arthur and
Richards. Others who are expected
are Ben Stewart, Wyant, and Wat
son of Parkersburg. Weaver who
has played with Kenyon college will
be here and Falls is coming. He
has played with Oberlein. Other
former stars of the University are to
come and two players will be here
from Connellsville. He can kick
well and in a game at Pittsburg last
year punted 80 yards at one stage
of the game.
The feeling that there is to be a
strong team this fall is growing and
the fans are beginning to feel very
good over it.
After this year the regents will
engage permanent coach but this
season the matter is up to the stu
dents themselves. The regents gave
them a small contribution to help
them along.
