SOME BIG CHANGES
May be Made in Football Rules
Next Year.

Western Men Meet TO Talk Over Rec
ommendations-Thr Points for
Drop Kick is sfavored-Harris Yost
Talks Of Game.
Coach Yoast OF Michigan figured
prominently in a conference of foot
ball rnen that was held in Chicago a
few days ago To discuss proposed
changes in the rules. Mccormack or
Northwestern and a representative OF
Stagg of Chicago met Yost, and the
conclusions arrived at will be present.
ed to the eastern committee that has
charge Of the rules. The western men
are opposed to the suggested direct
pass OF the ball to the runner. The
Chicago News, speaking Vests sug-
gestions. says:
One radical change from the plays
of the last few years was recommend
ed. That was to keep six men in the
lline OF scrimmage. Yost advanced
this change and advocated it ON the
ground that IL would mimiDize the
guards and tackle back plays. The
question Of the number Of points
drop kick should score was also
thrashed out, though DO recommend
alton was sent to the eastern commit
tee. ii was the general opinion,
however, that five points, equal to
tonchf ,wn, Is more than drop kick
ought TO count, three points being
favored
Before leaving the city Coach Yost
said: Il told Michigan l wouldn't 20
back there, but they won't have il
that way. Do you know, l think the
spirit OF the Michigan team Is due in
large part to the spirit among the
faculty. / believe the Michigan fac
ulty makes the team what is more
than anything else--the spirit they
en- thuse into the school.
"We have a great little quarterback
up there named James, OF whom ex-
pect much next season | think he
has the making of great little quar-
terback next year. He will know
what tn do 10 critical points. cause |
ask him at dinner or breakfast what
he'd d. in such a case. / give it To
him with his gravy, and be can't get
away from it,
The men present at the time, which
included Beacham, the old Cornell
player, now at Fort Sheridan, discuss
the old rule OF letting the FIRST man
to receive the ball from centre run

"You wouldn't want anything bet
ter than four big husky fellows stand
ing back of the line. Whip the ball
here or there to any one OF them aid

through before the other team woke
up. Then work In the double pass

rules 10 hurry.

UNUSUALLY SEVERE MONTH.
Tropical Storms, Boreal yisitations
and PcrturbatioDs Predicted.

Rev. Irl Hicks predicts for Feb
ruary these conditions:
The month will open warm and
threatening. Moon is on celestial
equator on the LIST tending greatly
to excite electrical storms in many
places. Disturbances will continue
until about the 4th, bringing heavy
rains, turning later to snow over
much of the country. It is safe to
say that this first February period
like all the following periods OF the
month, will begin with moderate
to warm bright days, but rain with
wind and thunder southwark will
follow and turn quickly to snow,
sleet and very cold weather.
A storm period to watch is from
about Sunday, the sth, to Thursday,
the 18th. The crisis of these dis
tnrbances will come on and next to
the 1lth. The cold wave that would
naturally appear about the 1lth
may possibly be retarded until after
the moons passage over the celes-
tial equator on the 18th. But those
who do not prepare fol great cold
wave and blizzard between the 9th
and 10th OF February, will. we fear,
pay costly penalty.
We caution all especially those
who have large live stock interests
ut stake to be on their guard any
time from the 9th until the culmina-
tion come. Don't be deceived by
delays and pleasant weather.
The storm period extending from
the 10th to the 23rd is covered by
many disturbing factors. This per-
iod during Its opening stages will
bring change to quite warm for the
season, the barometer will fall to un-
usually low readings and heavy
storms of rain, wind and thunder
will speedily be followed ~ change
to sleet and snow all winding up
with stiff wintry gales and a cold
wave from the northwest Much
danger may be apprehended at this
and other February periods from
the gorginglng Of streams and rivers
by sudden floods and the jamming
Of moving and crushing ice. Look
for several days OF crisl, freezing
weather after the storms Of this per
i0d pass off,

NEW MAIL SERVICE.
M & K Road has Carrier From
Morgantown to Masontown
Service Starts February 16.- Star
Route Discontinued Far as Dells-
low Carrier viii go from iiellslow
to Probably Two Nails
Per Day by Railway Service.

to Easontown-P Probably Two Mails
Per Day by Railway Service.
An order issued from the post Office
department at Washington, establish
ing railway mail service between
Murgantown aud Masontown was re-
ceived at the local postoiiice this week
The railway service will begin Feb
ruary 10, at which time the star route
from here to Masontown will be dis
continued as far as Dellslow.
rbe order for this change has been
expected for good while, 1t will give
the people at Dellslow aud at Mason
town much earlier mails each day,
while some Of the people along the
star route between here and Dellslow
will probably be at disadvantag by
the new arrangement. They have
been accustomed to getting their
mail delivered in boxes by the star
route carrier Henry Chips. Some OF
these can get it delivered by rural
route carrier Number 4, by erecting
suitable boxes On the road side at
their homes
There will probably be two mails a
day each way between here and Ma
sontown. No mail clerk will be on
the trains, so letters cannot be mailed
on them, but the pouches will he
locked up here and delivered, one at
DelIslow and one at Masontown.
Other intermediate offices may be es-
tablished later.
Star Route No. 1902, from Mason
town to Morgantown will be discon-
tinued from here to Dellslow. The car
rier will come only TO Dellslow each day
and then return. 1t will make an
easier trip, but there will also be a
pro rata reduction in the salary. The
carrier is continued on the Masontown
end of the route to accommodate sew
eral intermediate offices.
Mr.. 0. A. Shafer is the contractor
on the star route To Masontown, and
Henry Chips Is the carrier.
The NJ. & X. railroad is now equipp-
ed with regular passenger cars So it
can take proper care OF the mail sacks
and transport them in safety. The
new arrangement will insure the peo-
pie OF Dellslow and Masontown OF
getting their Pittsbarg papers the
same day they are issued, though
they may be slightly later In delivery
at the former place.

A movement has been started to
erect monument in the Court
House yard at Clarksburg to the
memory of "Stonewall" jackson,
this having been his native town.
The general public seems to be very
much in favor Of it on account of the
fact that Glarksburg gave such a
distinguished character to history.
A portion Of the Grand Army Post
sees no improperly in the erection
of such monument, but others OF
the post are opposed to it and will
fight the movements ii it materializes
to any extent.

While she was sitting in front of a
gas stove at her home, No. 106 Snyder
Street, Miss Ellen Shaw, daughter Of
Boston B. Shaw, Saturday night had
q narrow escape from serious injury as
a result Of cellu!oid comb In her
hair becoming ignited. The comb ig-
nited while she was leahing over to-
ward the fire. In an instant her hair
was ablaze, and but for the quick
presence of mind and prompt action
on her part she would have received
burns that would have proved serious.
BY throwing cover over her head the
blaze was extinguished but not until
a good part OF the hair had been
burned off the top Of her head. Her
scalp was also painfully burned by the
flames. Miss Shaw considers herself
fortunate 10 escaping more serious in

MR.. cLAytxpRESSEs sAMEvIEW
These Remarks Were Called Forth by
Senator ousy's Latest Move In the
Statehood Bill Fisht-House Passes
the indian Appropriation Bill.

Washington, Jan 2o.-The senate
proceedings yesterday were unmarked
by, any lively debates, such as oc-
Cured Wednesday. Mr.. McLaurin. of
Mississippi, urged adoption Of the
Rawlins resolution calling on the sec
rotary Of war for evidence in certain
court martial cases in the Philippines,
on the ground that the officers of the
army in a number of instances had
brutally treated Filipino men and
women, and he wanted them weeded
out Of the army. Mr.. Lodge conclud-
ed his remarks in opposition to the
omnibus statehood bill, and Mr.. Bard,
of California, also spoke in opposition
to 1t.
Just before the senate adjourned
Mr.. Foraker, of Ohio, took occasion
to say that the proposition OF Senator
Quay to tack the statehood bill on an
appropriation bill was not extraordin-
airy. Legislation had been placed on
appropriation bills before. Mr.. Clay,
Of Georgia, expressed the same view
In few remarks.
