MINE ORGANIZER ROBBED.
Beaten into Insensibiiity and Thrown
into a Flooded River.

Williamson, W. Va. March 10. :
James W. Davis, of Springfield, ILL.,.
was held up by masked men near
Thacker. a mining town, and robbed
of about one hundred dollars and other
valuables. After being pounded al
most to insensibility, he was tossed
over a high bank into Tug River,
which was atyfood tide.
The chilled water revived Davis,
and he managed to keep above the sur
face until he fioated more than half a
mile, when-he-graspedaa sunken log
and succeeded, in reaching shore.
DavisFis a national organizer for the
United Mine Workers and has been ac-
lively engaged IN the Flat Top and
Elkhorn fields, where he made numer-
GUS enemies among those who were
opposed to organization. 1t is thought
that other than robbery was the mo-
tive. Davis is il a serious condition.
His fa3e being so badly swollen that
his ewes are closed.

NEWS FROM UNIVERSITY.
Taxasion-ProE Fast Improves


slowly.
Morgantown. March 1s.-Quite a
number OF the students of the Uni-
v%ersitv are now engaged in a serious
study of the question which so mucb
affiliated the minds of the members of
the recen Legislature, namely. the
Tax Commissions report, The sub
iect of the Regents Prize Contest this
wear is as follow SHOULD the recon-
mendati vi of the West Virginia Tax
Commission be adopted?" The winner
of the prize viii receive $500. THIS
is a p"ize offered annually since the
founding of the University and known
as The Regents Prize in ESSAY.
The offer Of the Daughters Of the
Revolution to give q prize for the best
essay on George Washington has been
accepted. and several students are
writing for the prize.
Th@winter term examination will
begin SATURDAY., March 81, and con-
time until Wednesday, March 25. The
spring term will begin April i.
Everybody regrets to hear that Pro-
fessor r. f. Fast has written from
California that he will not be able to
resume his work at the beginning of
the spring term. He hopes to be strong
enough TO do some work before the
term closes. but of this he is not cer-
tain. Meanwhile the work in His
tory will be done by DR.. Callahan
and Mr.. Poe. 1t was hoped that the
winter in California would benefit
Professor Fast's health. but he aces
not seem TO improve as rapidly as was.
hoped.
The erand-stand for the athletic
field. for which Hon. Geo. G. SturQiss
gave the money. and the building of
which was DELAYED because of inabili-
ty to find a contractor to do the work
at a reasonable price, is mt last being
erected. 1t is to stand Immediately
in the real of Commencement Hall.
and is to be finished promptv. All of
the students and friends of athletics
will greatly appreciate Mr.. Sturgiss's
handsome gift.
1t seems quite probable now that
among the instructors in the Summer
School will be such eminent educators
as Professor Henry A. Beers of Yale
U University, Sara Griswold. Of Chica-
go. and others of National reputation.
The Board of Regents met Yesterday
to transact routine business. make the
proper distribution of the UNIVERSITY
funds for the ensuing year, etc. It is
understood that n or two Of the in
~structors will ask for leave of Absence
for the coming year.
DR.. Il. p. RuhI. Professor of We
terinary Science, has just closed a very
interesting course in that subject, his
class being much larper and more
interesting than usual. There seems
to be a growing demand for instruction
in this practical subject.
The handsome lpropertv recently
bought by the Beta Theta ri Frater-
nifty. to be used as "a chapterhouse.
will be occupied by them on the first
of April. The present occupants, Rev.
DR.. Compton and family, are getting

A GOOD RECORD.

A. NJ. Ordway. of Hagerstown,
Nd. has sold the Lester Piano for the
past fifteen years. In that length of
time he has sold over six hundred of
this make alone. one hundred of which
are in use in the citys of Hagerstown.
Every of these pianos has given
perfect satisfaction. No piano can do
more. They are made of the very best
material by the most skilled workmen
and they contain all modern improve
ments. No time nor money is spared
in their manufacture and the result is
as good n piano as can be bought at
any price.
