The Commoncr, Mr. Bryan
paper, will be especially interesting
and instructive during the present
session of congress. The action of
this congress will probably deter
1iue the issues upon which the next
presidential campaign will be fought
The Commoner proposes to carry on
campaign Of education and organi'
cation to the end That democratic
principles may triumph.
In addition to the editorial de-
partlhent, which receives Mr. Bry
ans personal attention, The Com
moner contains Current Topic de
partment, wherein a non partisan
discussion of topics OF timely inter
est and other valuable information
will be found. The Home Depart
ment is conducted by an experienced
woman who is widely known as a
writer of household topics and who
is an authority on the art of cooking
in all that the term implies. This
department alone is worth the sub
scription price The other depart
ments of the paper are all interest
ing and ably conduct ed, among
which is a summary OF the world S
news told in narrative style, and
Mr. Maupin's department-W heth-
er Common or Not-eontalns origin
al anecdotes and wit, moral lessons in
hoine.y phrase and verse, and APP
peals TO old and young alike.
The Commoner as whols is clean
entertaining and instructive, and It's
rapid increase in circulation--now
amounting to l40,000--is proof of
the papers strength and influence.
Arrangements have been made
with Mr.. Bryan whereby The Com
moner can be supplied at very low
rate with TEE New DOMINION, both
papers for one year for $500 This
offer applies to both new and renew
al subscriptions, and should be taken
advantage of without delay. All
orders should be sent TO the New
DOMINION office

TWO CENTS
HANDSOME THING.
Done by the Legislature for the
University.

Appropriation Exceeds any Former
Amount by More than 100000
Work Of Senators and Delegates
from this Section is Very Gratifying
DIR. Purinton Talks.
DR.. d. b. Purinton who has been
in Charleston for some time 10 the In
terests of the University has returned
home. He came on Saturday after
noon. When he was seen by a NEW
DOMINION man he had the following
to say about the results OF the visit to
Charleston which he bad taken:
university appropriations recently
granted by the Legislature for the
current biennial period, aggregate
1898, 656. This amount is larger by
$62, 056 than any University appropri-
alton given by previous Legislature.
1t includes provision for central
heating plant. a summer school, the
enlargement OF the College OF Agri.
culture and the cadet corps, and the
raising OF professors salaries from
$1,000 to $500. 1t does not provide
for woman's hall or presidents
house.
This treatment accorded the Uni
versity will be seen to be ge nerous In
deed, in view OF the general fact that
the Legislature found itself confront
ed with over drafts upon the State
Treasury amounting TO 5000, 900 and
particularly in view OF the special fact
that of this amount more than $780,
600 was chargeable TO the University.
having been accumnlted under form.
er administration and during former
biennial periods.
The favorable result is due In
| large measure to the faithful work OF
orr representatives, Senator Robin
son, Senator Swisher, Delegate Sny-
der and Delegate Warman, to whom
sincere acknowledge are heartily
given.
1t ought to be added that Senator
Robinson, being chairman OF tae Sem
ate Finance Committee, and Senator
Swisher, being prominent member
OF that Committee, were able To rem
der special service, which they render
ed with notable ability and success.
Regent Babb, who is a member OF
the House and OF its Finance Com
mittee, Regent Cowden, Regent
5ranu and some other Regents also
contributed largelyto the favorable
result recorded above. There are de-
sirable things yet TO be achieved, but
on the whole we shall be satisfied
and pleased with the situation. Only
kind words were heard at Charleston
concerning the University which has
a host of warm friends and supports
among the members OF the Legisla
ture Not few of these are Alumni
of whom we are justly proud.
All the friends OF the institution
are greatly pleased with the bill as 1t
passed. The amendments which
were made to the appropriation bill
in the Senate were in putting the
figures higher than they had been
placed by the House. The Senate
added $40, 1000 to the sum to be given
the University.
Much OF the credit OF the increase
n ust be given TO DR.. Purinton who
is too modest to claim any such merit
and much too modest to accept the
credit. The feeling towards the in
stltution is very different from what
1t was while the late unIamented
Jerome was here. Now that he Is
gone a great many things may be
done which would have been impossi-
BILE with him here.

SCHOOLS OPEN
School Board Allowed to Re
sumo Operations Monday.

Teachers and Children Required to be
Yaccinated Most of the Children
Have Gathered in-NO Other cases
of Small Pox have Developed Other
News About it.
A meeting Of the health board
was bel on Saturday afternoon at
four thirty. After canvass of the
situation it was determined to all
low the schools TO open again. This
was the most portant DIT of work
done by the board
They recommended tc the school
board that the children and teachers
be required to be vacciuated before
they are allowed to take part in the
sessions of school.
The city council is recommended
to get some place which may be
used as detention hospital as we'll
as some place where the patients
who need it m tybe treated.
Up to this time many people have
been breaking quarantine and they
should be cooped up in every case
where they break in or out of quar-.
antine. 1t is expected that the city
fathers will hit on some place to be
used in this manner. They meet
this evening 10 regular session.
The action of the health board
was at once communicated to the
school authorities and the word was
sent out. Most of the children re-
ported for duty this morning al
though a. number of them have
not come III yet. They are expected
in the next few days. Those who
hadn't been vaceinated yet have
been submitted To the ordeal today
and in few days there will be an
epidemic OF sore arms in the schools.
No new cases had appeared since
last week. a couple Vt suspects are
being watched but the fact that no
cases have appeared for so long
makes people begin to feel good
over the situation. 1t may be that
there are to be no more cases at all.
All SORTS OF reports are going
through the country over telephone
and they would he funny If they
were not so serious The people
living out in the country should
have no lies told them when they
call up as many people are telling
them. 1t hurts the town to tell such
yarns as are going. Tell the ruth
at all times. Don't get funny and
stalt any more stories.
A meeting of the business men OF
town was held on Saturday night at
Municipal Hall Ed Herd called
the meeting TO order and called H.
l.. Swisher to the chair
Everybody had something to say
but the meeting took no definite
steps toward doing anything Some
resolutions were introduce by f.
NJ. Grant condemning the local
newspapers for publishing official
reports o; the small pox situation
and condemning out of town cores
pondents of city papers for sending
out small pox news.
One of the members stated this
morning that a fund h~s been sub
scribed and that an expert will be
brought here ii there are any more
cases He will determined whether
it is really small pox. There was
much doubt expressed by the mem
bers to the nature of the disease.

Lost TMear Sympathy.

Now, when the daughter of the house Jan away with the strolling musician, khe neighbors were full of tender sym pathy with the family.
 They called in body to express this lSact.
 All would have gone we'll if the old man had not cherished the idea that he was natural born wit and that the flashes of his genius in that line could illuminate the darkest abyss of gloom lthat ever was heard of.
 "Yes," he said, ''I am deeply touched lby this evidence of feeling on the part foR you, my neighbors. Not that ob- 1ected to my daughter getting mar nied. I expected her to do that some day. But think all of you will bear witness that have ever cautioned her lnod to piccolo man"
 At this the neighbors retired to the roadway and stoned the house, then sent joint message of congratulation to the runaway daughter.c icago Mxshunes
