Millennium in 1919.

The statement is made by promi-
nent divine in the west that the mil
lenium will arrive in the year 1912,
and bases his claim on the prophecies
Of the Bible. Whether his prophecy
is correct or not, time alone will tell,
but in the meantime We should make
the most of our lives, and the first
essential to this is good health.
A sickly person cannot enjoy life be-
cause be lacks the vIgor and vitality
necessary for such enjoyment, and
consequently always feel downhearted
and depressed. 1t was for such
persons that Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters was first introduced fifty years
ago, and many persons today car
ascribe their good health to Its use
1t positively cures indigestion, dys.
pepsia, constipation, biliousness and
liver and kidney troubles. Don't fail
to try 1t.

The Pittsburg Post says:

The Plttsburg Post says:
There is prospect that Pittsbure
may within the next year OF two have
a direct route TO the South. This may
be accomplished by building a connect
ing line between the Monongahela
railroad from Red Stone Junction,
Pa, near the West Virginia state
line, and the new branch of the Chesa.
peake & Ohio railroad in West vir-
ginia. Lending strt ng impression
to this probable line from here to che
South is the fact that today President
J.. Nj. Schoonmaker, OF the Mononga-
hela Railroad Company, who is alsn
vice president aud general manager Of
the Pittsborg 4 Lake Erie. and Presi-
dent George w. Stevens, of the Chesa-
peake & Ohio Railroad Company, will
start on an inspection OF the former
property 1t is said that the inspec-
tion trip IS being made to investigate
conditions toward the line TO the
South. Colonel SHOEMAKER could
not be located yesterday afternoon or
last night TO speak on the proposition.
1t is said that dret tors OF the roads
concerned will be members of the
party that will start frsm here 10
special train today.
The Monongahela railroad would
thus become very important proper
ty to the Pittsburg public, both 10 the
matter of freight and passenger husi-
ness, The road was opened for tratic
only a couple OF months ago into the
"Klondike" coke region and Is owned
jointly by the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company and the Pittsburg & Lake
Erie Railroad Company. For the
present aud until the Wabash extern
sion through Greene county is opened,
1t is the only road operating almost d.
rectly south from Pittsburg. The
Fairmont, Morgantown & PittsDurg.
branch Of the Baltimore & Ohio oper-
ates into section OF West Virginia
almost directly south OF this city, but
this operation is IN triangular detour
by way Of Connellsylle.
1t is well known that the Chesa-
peake & Ohio is controlled In part 10y
the Pennsylvania railroad interests
and such connection as that proposed
between the Monongahela ami the
Chesapeake & Ohio would 10 addition
TO opening new direct route south
from here, afford an advantageous
inter-link between the two big sys-
tens, and at the same time connect
with the Baltimore & Ohio and the
Norfolk & Western.
Oscar G. Murray, first vice president
or the Baltimore & Ohio, arrived In
the city yesterday from Baltimore and
registered at the Hotel Duquesne. Mr.
Murray could not be seen, but it was
reported that he was TO meet other
railroad men here today Whether
he will be mem Der Of Colonel Schoon-
makers party likewise could not be
ascertained.

ERRAYIC TESTIMONY
Given by Charles Y. Bishop
Before Referee in Bankruptcy.

Admitted Claims and Denied Them
without HesIration-Says Morgan
town Men got His Money--Threaten
Prosecution Will Pay 50 Cents on
the Dollar.
A meeting Of the creditors Of
Charles Y Bishop was held In King
wood Tuesday and Wednesday
before George Shirley, referee ii
bankruptcy. J. L. Hatfield, /. G.
Lazzell and s. F. Glasscock were
there representing the Morgantown
credi- ors. The crowd of creditors
wasl arge and most Of the day was
spent passing upon the various
claims and assets.
1t appears from Bishops evidence
which was at times very complicat-
ed and contradictory, that he sank
good deal of money in bad bust
ness ventures in this city. Some
of his investments here are known
to have been on the 4 lid cat plan,
but no one had an. idea OF their
extent.
Bishop is giving out the impress
sion insone way or another that he
was skinned" by number Of Nor
gantown business men. lie is very
sore at some OF them, and threatens
to prosecute, even If be has to bor-
row money to do it.
Bishops testimony before the
referee was of az extraordinary
character. He admitted claims and
then denied them in the most start
ling manner. In one case he claimS
ed to have paid an Indebtedness Of
$40. The check which he had given
was shown to him, marked mo
funds" but he still insisted that it
had been paid. In another instance
he said he bad signed contract
without reading it. He had been
hurried into an office, told to sign
without reading, and then had been
fired out
His total Liabilities will amount to
$25, 900 and his assets to about
$4,000. He will be able to pay
about 60 cents on the dollar.
Bishop says he is coming back to
Morgantown to live, ard is going to
make some of his money back where
he spent II.

Gil to look into the Union Utility

". & ]. AND BUCKNELL
To Play On Date Scheduled
With West Virginia?
Coach Trout Asked to be an Official.
No Official Notice That the Game is
Cancelled-Pennsyltania State Game
0f-May be Played the s1st-Mar-
tin Hurt.

There may be no game this year
between West Virginia and Wash
ington and Jefferson. This an
nouneemeut comes like a thunder
bolt, and causes CONSERVATION, no
to mention ''cussing", among tn,
the fans here. And there will be n,
game with Pennsylvania State il
Pittsburg Saturday. This is also ,
disappointment, but not such q
crushing one as the first.
w. q j., of course, has sent ne
official announcement of the cancel
lation of the game. They are not
square enough to do that. Theil
plan seems 10 have been TO allow
West Virginia to find it out the
best way they could. Coach Trout
is in receipt Of letter from Buck.
nell, in which he is asked to otfieiate
in game between that eleven and
w. d j. on November 81. That is
the date mentioned in the contract
for game between W. Il J. and w.
V. u.
1t was published in a BucAnell
paper some weeks ago that Bucknell
and W. d j. would play on the 2lst,
and while the news caused little
excitement here at the time, no one
believed it to be true.
What w. Il j. means by deliber-
ately contracting with two teams for
the same day is more than honest
folks can understand.
Manager Stout is in receipt of a
telegram this morning from w. d j.
in which 1t is stated that the game
with West Virginia will be played
en- the Dist. DO they mean to play
both games? Or is Bucknel TO be
turned down? West Virginia will
expect to meet the w. a. J. varsity
on that date.
The State College game at Pitts
burg has been called off. The Var
sity is in poor shape, and State
College rs not anxious to play.
State has offered w. 4 j. game at
Pittsburg Nov. 81, or on Thanks
giving. w. q j. cannot accept the
2lst, on account of the Bucknell
gaine, and in that event, West Vir-
ginia and State will probably meet
in Pittsburg on the date set for the
w. d J. game. The big excursion
planned for Washington will go to
Pitts5urg.
Martin is out Of the game for a
week or two, and probably for the
rest of the season. He was tackled
by Ford Tuesday, and his ankle was
so badly sprained that he could
scarcely walk yesterday. The mem

practice, and be in shape for The

attending classes and doing faithful
work.

LUDES IS ELLlGIBLE.
Athletic Committee Restores him to
Team-Core and Mutton have Chance
TO Make food.

OV-N s@'@" A'uAtVh nav ShohSo
to Make Good.
After session which lasted an hour
and ahalf or more yesterday after
noon, the Athletic committee of the
University faculty decided to rein
state Joe Ludes as member Of the
Varsity eleven. 1t was shown salts
factorily that Ludes had been attend
ing classes faithfully. The absences
against him were nearly all recorded
by an instructor who had failed to
place his name on the roll. His class
card had been handed in and he had
been attending the class.
Satisfactory explanations could not
be offered In the cases OF Core and
Mutton. There were extenuating cir
cumstances however, and the COM
mittee decided that in case the two
''made good" on or after November ] 3,
they would be allowed to play GU the
team. This will only keep them out
OF State college game Saturday. 1t is
thought that the boys will make good.
CourtrIght and Hammer will probably
play the positions in the meantime.

tion OF officers, all of which will be
completed on the first days session,
leaving the remainder OF the week at
the disposal of the grand lodge.
The meeting of the grand lodge will
be Of more than usual importance at
this time, as many matters OF moment
will be brought up for consideration.
One OF the most important matters
to be considered will be as to what ac-
tion the lodge will take in reference
to the home for Odd Fellows which
was decided upon at the meeting Of
the sovereign grand lodge at Balti-
more several weeks ago.
The election OF officers will also b
an important feature and some inter

CD.

ments and entertainment, composed
of Jacob Taylor, chairman; Ray mop1
Bowers, secretary; ID. w. Martin, G.

ed that the merchants supply them
selves with books wherein the visitors
