BIG OFFERS FOR iOST
The Greatest Coach in the Entire
Ceuntry-Minnes0ta's Claim.

Since Yost's signal victory over
Chicago, it has been widely cir
culated that he has received an offer
of SO, 500 to coach the Navy, and a
sum equally large by Pennsylvania.
He will remain in Michigan another
year. Some of the football sharps
have said that Minnesota has a
claim to the Western championship
as good as Michigan's. This in
itselfis about enough to keep"Hurry
Up there for another year.
In this connection, the Chicago
Record Herald says: "A contest
among the coaches has been as close,
as hard fought and almost as inter-
estlpg to the general public this
year as that between the various
colleges. Hurry Up" Yost, still
unbeaten and tied but once in three
years, is at the head of the process
sion, and many critics of authority
have gone so far as to call him the
greatest coach in the entire country"
1t is not likely that the Michigan
team will go to the coast for New
Years again.

Penn Stamp Acknowledgment Denies
SigRature-Mr. Zinn From Waynes-
burg Disappears Suddenly.

KINGwooD, w. Va, Nov. 30.-A
hotel man and banker here are
somewhat perplexed about the sud
den disappearance of f. NJ, linn, of
Wayaesburg, from this town, and
the cashing of check for $4,000.
linn, who is young man about %
wears of age, came to the Exchange
hotel Tuesday November "a. He
registered as from Waynesburg and
carried no baggage He remained
until Friday Nov. q when he left by
way of the train to Tunnelton. with
out paying his hotel bill to L. G.
Zigier, the proprietor.
On the day Of his departure he
called at the First National Bank
and presented check for 1882 upon
the Webster County Bank. 1t was
made by the South Penn Oil Com
pany, or so appeared, the latter
name being stamped at the bottom
OF the check with a rubber stamp,
and eountersigned by another party
as clerk. 1t was payable to a
party other than Zinn, was endorsed
by this party and bore the endorse
ment of l.. G. Zigler above referred
to, and Zinn endorsed it in the bank.
He was promptly given the money.
Cashier White said he believed the
endorsement to be that of Mr.. Zig
Ter, which lie was quite familiar
with.
When the so called linn failed to
return to the hotel the proprietor be-
gan to enquire and learned Of the
check matter. He announced imme-
diately that the endorsement is a for
gerry, and that his hotel bill against
the man remained unpaid. kilograms
were sent far and wide to have the
young man brought back, but nothing
has been heard OF him. Zigler de-
elares the endorsement of his to be a
forgery The bank people insist that
the endorsement is genuine and de-
clare they will hold him for the
amount. The Webster bank has tele-
graphed that the check is plalpable
forgery.
While here linn attended revival
meetings regularly and was very tact
turn and quiet. He talked with nc
one and appeared TO have no business
and never explained bis presence in
town without baggage. 1t is mys-
terions case and startling develop
ments NAV follow.

opposition. When these matters are

will be taken up. 1t has been consid-

UNTIL THURSDAY
Gas and Water Consumers will
not have to Sign.
Courts Consideration Ties up Proceed.
ings for two Days at Least-Agents
are Presenting Contracts Courts
Action can only be Cenjectured.

As stated in the NEW DOMINION
yesterday evening, Judge Mason has
reserved his decision until Thursday
in the application of several citizens
OF Morgantown for an injunction to
restrain the Union Utility company
from turning off the gas and water
at the homes OF consumers who re-
fuse to sign the contract or applica
ton that is being presented to the
consumer for signature. This means
that no gas and water will be turned
off today. Judge Mason asked time
to consider the matter and of course
the company will take no action
while the injunction is pending.
Even If the court should refuse
the Injunction consumers are per-
fectly safe in reserving their decls-
ions as to whether they will, or viii
not sign, until Thursday. II the
injunction is granted, the signing
will be further delayed, perhaps per-
manently, but temporarily, certainly.
Ii it is refused, consumers who want
gas and water will have to sign.
Agents Of the company were very
busy yesterday pre- senting the con
tracts and practically all the people
have had chance to act in the
matter.
Meanwhile many conjeetures are
being made as to Judge Mason's
action in the the matter. There is
really very little on hich to bear
such conjectures. Mr.. Lazzelle, at
torney for the plaintiffs, is satisfied
that the Injunction will be granted.
He stated to New DOMINION man
that the court had said the only
question on which he had not fully
made up his mind was as to whether
the injunction sued for in the name
of part of the people would hold
good for the public gen rally. In
other words will each individual
have to'sue for separate injunc-
ton? Mr.. Lazzelle is satisfied that
Judge Mason will settle this ques-
tion in the negative. Mr.. S. F.
Glasscock says the court indicated
it as bis opinion that the gas COM
tracts now in use are continuous,
and the new ones can. not be sub
stituted without the consent of both
parties.
On the other hand, Mr., Cox, attor-
ney for the company safe in talking
about the case to him and Mr. Lag
zelle, Judge Mason said Il thought
over this case until very late hour
Saturday night, and | have failed to
find anything unreasonable in the
contract. Can you show me any
thing of the kind, Mr.. Lszzelle?"

On Friday evening, of this week,
Russell II. Conwell, the brilliant
preacher, author and orator, and a
veteran lecturer of the American
platform, will be heard again by an
enthusiastic audience at Commence
ment Hall. Mr.. Conwell has already
paid three visits to Morgantown,
and has been received with ever
increasing enthusiasm on each sue
ceeding visit. He has now a place
in the hearts of Morgantown people,
who have come to feel that they
know him.
The lecture Friday night is the
first o. the regular course given
annually of late years by the Y. M.
G. A. of the University. A big audi
ence will be cut to enjoy it.

ATTEMPTED BU RELIABLY.
PiekeRpaugh and Kern's Hardware
Store Entered Last Night.

An attempt was made to burglarize
the store CT Pickenpaugh and Kern
GA the corner or Front and Peasants
street last night. The burglars cut
out pane OF glass in the rear OF the
store room and entered rear room of
the building. They then opened the
big doors leading to the outside in or
der TO procure rapid means of exit,
and tried to enter the main store
room. The door leading into this was
barred from the inside, and they were
unable to get in, A big iron bar was
found which they were using 10 pry
the door open.
Mr.. f. nj. Arnett, who rooms above
the store, came home from lodge meet
ing about twelve o'clock, and the noise
of his entrance is thought to have
scared the thieves away. They got
nothing.
Hardware stores have been the pc
culiar prey OF burglars in this section
for the past month or two. Guns and
reyolvers have been taken in many
instances.

HAS LECTURED 81 YEARS
And Addressed More People Then any

ord of Russell H. ConweIl.

In his excellent biography OF Rus
sell III. Conwell, who lectures at Com
mencement Hall Friday night, Albert
A. Smith says:
cit cannot be proved beyond dis
pute, but careful inves tigation reveals
the strong probability that Russell H.
Conwell has addressed more people
than any other man living He has
been on the lecture platform thirty
seven years, and averaged two hundred
lectures year, besides preaching to
the thousands who throng his church,
and addressing the largest conventions
that assemble In America, He pre-
pared fifteen popular lectures before he
was thirty years old.
Churches have been established,
magazines founded, inventions made,
business enterprises undertaken, the
discouraged have taken heart, the
poor have become rich, teachers have
adopted methods more in harmony
with psychological laws, real estate
has been advanced, hotel-keepers more
thoughtful OF the comfort Of their
guests, hundreds OF young men have
entered the ministry. thousands have
secured al education, hundreds OF
thousands of characters have been
enobled, and heaven will be the richer,
in consequence Of Conwell's lectures.
A winning cordiality, glow Of inter
est, an absorbing aud all-unconscious
magnetism, quenchless enthusiasm
communicated through delightful
at-homeness, sincere purpose to help
the listener to do better, be happier aud
more useful for having heard the lee
ture-all making an evening with
Conwell one will want to repeat as
soon as possible.

ANOTHER SHORT SESSION
City Council got Through in
Hurry Last Night.

Deed for Ground 10 Widen Street Ten
dered by DIR. Purinton- Referred to
Street Committee Telephone Poles
Relocated Cows viii be Sheltered
This Winter.
The meeting OF the city council was
short last night, very little business
of any kind being before that body for
consideration. All the members were
present except John E. Price, council
man from the first ward
DR.. D. B. Purinton appeared before
council and rendered deed to the
city for two strips OF ground, each
five feet wide, on either side or the
alley running almost parallel with the
southern boundary OF the University
campus, from Front street to Beech
urst auenue The alley is at the
southern edge of the lot on which the
new home for the president Is to be
built. This alley is only ten feet wide,
and the donation makes it twenty
feet. A big retaining wall Is TO be
built adjoining the alley, and unless
the street is opened now. it probably
never will be.
The deed was signed by all the prop
erty owners along the alley. These
are Mr.. and Mrs. Grant, DR.. and Mrs.
Brock, DR.. and Mrs. Wade, DR.. and
Mrs. White and John H. Hunt.
The matter was referred to the
city solicitor, councilmsn Wade and
Hayes for investigation. 1t is thought
that the alley has never been donated
by the city and that the deed will
have to be made to cover the whole
twenty feet before it can be accepted.
Representatives OF the Peoples and
Bell Telephone companies appeared
before council and requested that the
poles on chestnut street between
Court Alley and Peasants be re-iocat-
ed. The council ordered them remov-
ed a week ago TO allow the paving OF
this section This order was not
complied with, as no provision was
made for their e-location. This mat
ter was referred to the street commit
tee. The Peoples company asked to
have two poles located on Third street,
fourth ward. The mayor, with coun-
Gilman Jamison and Demoss, will look
after this aud also the locating of
street light on Yoke street.
In. Weaver and r. e. L. Allen
were granted permits to build COW
stables and 1. II. Cunningham fled
an application for the same purpose.
