small pox scare. They have been get

which is the proper thing to do.

minded that this evening will witness

this account.
DON'T fail to spread lots OF decora
tiUns for Saturday. The residences
and business houses OF town should

IT was rather lucky that the tank
fire resulted in nothing more serious
than it did. Fires in which oil
tanks figure are liable to cause all
sorts of trouble.
On the night before Decoration

is extended to the friends of the
club to be present.
z. W. MoRRIs has resigned from
the state board Of pardons and w.
4. W hite, brother of Governor

poin tment.
AGAIN 1t has been the fate of West
Virginia too keep quiet over a base
ball score Usually when the score
does not come it is because the boys
are ashamed to send them. This is a
very FOOLISH idea.
A MoRGANTowN man should never

Doe" as related IN another column
should be a warning to all who con-
template taking such rash step.

pie. II is we'll arranged and reflects
credit on it's compiler.
ANOTHER sale by the Morgantown
Real Estate company has proven a
great success. They sold nearly $l1,-
900 worth of lots at Masontown on
Saturday. There were 500 people at
the sale. About 200 OF them went
from Morgantown.
On Friday night there is to be q
show at the Opera House. The Res.
direction will be presented. This
play has been attracting much atten-
tion In several of the big towns OF the
country and it will be we'll worth see
ing. The company is very capable
one.
W. & j. is dreaming of defeating
w. V. U. on the diamond this
year. Last fall W. v. U. dreamed
of victory over w. d J. on the
gridiron. These two1 dreams will
probably have the same sort of an
ending.
THERE is piece of board walk at
the end of the suspension bridge on
the other side of the river that will
break two or three legs for some one
some of these days or nights. The
walk has great holes in it big enough
for man to fall through. Itshould
be torn away or repaired at once
NEWS reached here this morning Of,
the death of Rev. N. B. johnson of
New Martinsville. He is a prominent
M. e. Minister, and was we'll known
in Morgantown. He was formerly
stationed in Fairmont. Recently he
became i'll and went to Wheeling for
treatment1
PEOPLE who have filth breeding
places around their premises may ex-
pect at any time to receive preemp-
tory order from the,town authorities to
get them cleaned up. There has been
too much tolerance of such conditions
and this will not be the case much
longer
UP to date 10 male and Is female
dogs have been registered. Tags have
been issued to all Of these, and there is
still good supply on hand for those
who value their dogs. The city is
$245 richer for the new councilmen and
recorder Sisler has about $45 In fees to
the good.
Town lots comprise elias OF prop
e-ty always liz demand. The steady
influx of new people into the w. Va.
coal fields results In constantly in
creasing number of purchasers, seek
ing and inquiring for locations. Thus
lots can be turned over rapidly at good
margins. You will have one more
chance to secure lots at the Belington
lot sale, Thursday, May 2Stb, at 10
m.
THE fight between the Western
Onion and the P. r. r. eliminated
yesterday in the destruction of thou
sand Of dollars worth Of property on
the right Of way Of the latter. The
Injunction which had presented the
railroad from removing the poles was
removed and the poles and wires came
down at once. There was no fooling
after the company got the right to act.
Damage suits for large amounts will
follow.
