throughout the camp"
captain M. M. Nicely, of company

gold mounted sword, with a solid
ebony grip, which is valued at 500
The sword was presented by his
company on August LIST as token
of the esteem in which he is held by
his men. He may well feel proud Of
his company, the personnel Of which

TAYLOR WAS HERE.
Ex-Policeman, Preacher and
Merchant Back on a Visit.

Has written To Joe SISTER -Mct Him

Successfully Disguised Will Como
Back Again Soon Letter Written
From kichwoad
Is j. Taylor has been in Morgan-
town He has been here, that is,
since he took las departure some
moths age, leaving his wife and
children, and large number OF
debts behind He took considerable
cash with him at tine time, and the
date OF his retnrn was uncertain.
No one expected him here at an
early date anyway.
Taylor WAS here July 4th. That
was a very quiet day in Morgantuwn
and his visit was undisturbed by
the racking noises that are usually
coincidcnt with Independence Day.
He didn't make his presence known,
and his friends did not have a
chance to give him the glad hand.
Taylor's presence here was made
known day or two ago--whcn he
wrote to Joseph Sisler, of Wiles Hill,
and told him of it. He asked Mr..
Sisler If he remembered Of meeting
an old man on the Falling Run
bridge, at a certain hour that day.
The "old man. carried cane, and
walked in STOPPING position. He
wore a supply OF whiskers that
W uld have made Kansas populist
green with envy. All these things
Taylor described, and Mr. Ssler re-
members very distinctly of meeting
such man at such time. There
can be no doubt that he was here.
Taylor says he saw his wife and
child, and mentions several other
people whom he saw. His disguise
was complete for no one recognized
him.
The letter was mailed Mt Rich
wood. Taylor says he will return
to Morgantown again soon. 81 will
know you all but none Of you will
know me-" are his words.
He seems To take considerable
satisfaction in his successful dis
guise. The ex-pcliceman, preacher
and merchant is just the kind Of
man that would enjoy the expert
ence Of moving among his old ac-
quaintanccs here in disguise. He
has lots OF nerve and would under
take such thing with pleasure.
The members OF the police force
will be on the look out for him on
his next visit They would like TO
have the pleasure OF recognizing an
old acquaintance even in disguise.

SCARCITY OF TEACHERS.
Big Problem in Monongalia for
Somebody to Solve.

One Hundred and Fifty Needed-12s
Attending Institute-9 who Took
First Exam. VIII Teaeh--Seme Hold.
Oyers-Standard MAS Been RAISED
and 1t is Now Up to the School
Boards.
There will be great scarcity Of
school teachers in Monongalia coun.
ty this fall, unless some means YET
untried Is resorted to TO supply the
demand. At present, the number Of
eligible teachers. compared with the
number of schools, looks about like
thirty cents after the county fair.
Superintendent Jesse Henry saws
that the public generally has little
or no idea of the conditions that
confront the Boards of Education
and trustees. In short talk with
New DOMINION man this morning,
he said about l50 teachers were
needed in the county, including those
employed in the Morgantown indie
pendent district. There are only
122 enrolled at the institute nor in
session.
A few Monongalia teachers will
attend institutes in other counties,
but at the same time, a large per
cent of those in attendance here, will
teach in other counties. This will
leave the number of teachers still
farther below the number of schools
The first examination made Is
teachers eligible to teach in the
schools of the county. Among these
there were 8 No. 8 certificates. The
salary for No. is so small that
none Of these will teach, and so the
number is cut down to 8. There
were some hold-overs, of course, but
not any thing like enough to meas
ure up to the requirements. Ten
took the second examination, but
these, will not materially increase
the number. Another examination
will be held September 10 and IL.
The number of examinations lie lin
tied to five. So at best the shortage
of teachers is big problem for some
body to solve.
Superintendent Henry said this
morning: 1.-THE School Boards have
been clamoring at us to raise the
standard. and promising to raise the
salaries when we did. The standard
has been raised, now let the salaries
go up accordingly"
In one district of this county, the
salary of No 8 teachers has already
been raised. In several instances
well known teachers have received
offers for extra pay out of private
pockets. One young man who has
left the teaching profession, was
school, the trustees prom
ising to pay him a considerable sum
out of their own pockets. The con-
ditions warrant such heroic meas
ures.
There is considerable dissatisfac-
ton among the teachers here at the
institute over the results of the ex-
aminations,and it is altogether likely
that the resolutions adopted, will
take shot at the uniform law.
