Another Good Meeting.

The solo at the Christian church
last night was enc of the singers
best That in itself was enough to
repay the people who came through
threatening weather to the service.
But that was not all. Everyone
present felt that they could not have
afforded to miss the interesting ser
mon on Christ the Fulfillment of
Prophecy" Mr. Tisdall handled
the word of God in such way as
to prove beyond a doubt that Jesus
is the promised Messiah. The ser
mon was of necessity compilation
OF scripture references. But it was
delivered in such a manner at to ar
rest and hold the attention from
beginning to end. Mr.. Tisdall is
very sklllful with the Sword of the
Spirit. His aim is direct His
thrusts are in themselves remedial,
because he speaks the truth in love.
The subject Of this evenings SER
mon is THE Divinity Of Christ"
This subject promises much. Come
and hear. Special music will be
given There is still room for you.
Don't forget the mems meeting next
Sunday afternoon.

on Front street Sunday Afternoon
at two O'Clock. Rev. M. F. Comp
ton, of the M. E. church, assisted
by Rev. Hess, conducted the ser
vices. There was a large gathering
of friends and relatives to pay their
last respects to the deceased, who

in this community. The remains
were laid to rest iii Oak Grove GEM
etery. The pail bearers were Henry
Domain, Walter and Bernard Ma
cera, of this city, and W. II. Griffin,
H. G., and F. D. Mason, of Browns

Mrs. MADEIRA was member of one
of the best-known families in this
section. She was daughter of Robt.
Domain, of Grassingtonshire. Eng,
and came to Pennsylvania with her
father when seven years of age. At
the age of sixteen she came to Nor
gantown with her uncle, Frank De-
main, and has lived here continu
ously ever since She was married

Cured nearly 20 years ago. Six

BASE BALL TEAM
Will be Organized in Morgan
town Next Summer.
Manager Brown and Billy Bowman Be-
hind Preject-Geod Players in Sight
Can be made TO pay-'yarsisy's
Prospects were never Brighter.

II the present plans are carried out,
Morgantown will have first class
base ball team next SIMMER. Base
ball in West Virginia experienced a
general revival of interest last year,
and number of the towns had good
teams. Morgantown is looked upon
as a better city for the national game
than many in which successful teams
were maintained. Next summer
Morgantown will be in the push.
A. G.. Brown, whose enthusiasm for
the game is well-known, will manage
the team. He is already engaged in
looking for players, and has several
good ones spotted whose services can
be secured. Billy Bowman is also in
terested in the scheme, and is helping
to push it. He will be here all sum-
mer and will be one Of the pitchers.
Others Of his calibre will be secured.
The University Athletic field can
probably be secured for the games. A
good schedule will be arranged as Nor
gantown enthusiasts will have an op-
pertunity to enjoy the sport several
times each week.
The University games are never So
well patronized as they should be,
but it is thought that team In the
summer time, when there is little
amusement of any kind to be had,
will draw big crowds. Certain IL is,
that il big rivalry can be aroused
among neighboring towns, Clarksburg,
FaiImont, Unlontowu, Grafton, Man
nington, and Others, great numbers
will attend the games. There il little
doubt that such rivalry would soon
spring up.
The team will be organized at the
close OF the University season, and
Varsity players who stay for the sum-
mer quarter will be used on the team.
Morgantown has considerable home
talent, and not much need be hired
from elsewhere.
The University team next spring
will be remarkably strong. There are
now no less than FIVE pitchers In
school. Among these are Core, Black,
and Gronniger. Others are in sight.
Cole, Martin, Simmons, Wiles, and
others will again be members of the
team.
The Varsity schedule has been
partially arranged. The games al
ready scheduled, have been published
In these columns Nearly all OF the
first class college teams in this section,
and several big colleges In the East
will be played.

DOUBLE TEAM STOLEN.

worth Doaley : stopped at Mrs.
Racer's-No Clue to Direction Taken.
A pair Of horses attached TO q
light buck board were stolen Sun
day morning shortly after one
O'Clock, from a hitching post in
front of the residence of Mrs. Racer,
in Riverside, just below town, on the
west side of the river. The horses
belonged to Ellsworth Donley, OF
Mt. Morris, and were driven by
McClelland Dean, formerly OF
Canonsburg. Officers here, at
Fairmont, Waynesburg and ether
points have been notified, but up
until noon nothing had been heard
of the team or thief.
The team consisted of gray mare
weighing about 1000 pounds, with
scar on her left hip, and light
bay horse, weighing about LOO
pounds, having two white feet and a
star in his forehead. The team is a
valuable one.
Dean, who had possession of the
team just before it was stolen, hired
it from Donley at Mt Morris Sat
urday and drove it to Riverside.
1t was about one o'clock Sunday
morning when he reached Mrs.
Racers place in Riverside. He
hitched the team at the roadside
and went in. About half an hour
later he came out and the team was
gone.
There was nothing to indicate the
direction taken, and up until noon no
clue had been discovered to lead to
the recovery of the horses or the ap-
prehensioa of the thief. This is the
second instance of startlingly bold
horse stealing in this community
within few weeks, and a strong eff
fort will be made to catch the guilty
parties.

HERDS OF ANIMALS
Are Infected With Chambers says DIR.
Ruhl Of Fairmsat.

DIR. +. p. Ruhl, the state veterina~
rian, who lives in Fairmont, is re-
sponsible for the statement that in
West Virginia today there are 500
head of horses and cattle that should
be killed Off to prevent the spread of
infectious diseases. The doctor,
who has been making frequent trips
of inspection over West Virginia,
declares that CHAMBERS are very pre-
valent among the horses of the mid
die part of the state, while tubercu-
losis is running rampage among the
cattle In one county, DR.. Ruhl
says, there are $50 horses that
should be killed Immediately. That
this is not done is due chiefly to
two reasons, one that the owners
object to the killing, and the other
that the funds of the agricultural
board of the state, which pays for
all such dispatched animals, is get
ting extremely low. A great effort
is to be made by the board to have
this fund increased as it is the only
certain way that such diseases may
be eliminated from among the stock.

BURNED 10 THE GROUND
Smith Home Destroyed on the
Hill Last Night.
Walter Saved His Fiddle = Heroic
Work Saved Hayes and Fleming
Rouses-0rigin of the Fire-House
Was Insnred-want Fire Protection.

w 90 AaonA W w ank II "A . Ut'ttVns
The home of Mrs. George Smith,
widow, mother of Clyde and Walter
Smith, was totally destroyed by fire
between $50 and ten o'clock last
evening. The house is located on
Wiles Hill, where there is no water
works, and no fire protection. The
houses of Sam Hayes and Milton
Fleming were in danger, and
were saved only by the heroic work
OF the neighbo.s and others who
gathered to assist.
The Smith house was afire carly
in the evening, about seven O'Clock.
Clyde Smith went to the wardrobe
with a lamp in his hand to get some
clothes He knocked theglobe of,
and the flame set fire to some gar
ments. The blaze was extinguished
and Smith lett the house shortly
afterwards. another story is that
the lamp was eft without a globe,
and set fire to the house by ex-
ploding.
Mrs. Smith is in Pittsburg The
two Smith boys and McCarty were
sleeping in the house. McCarty
was the first to discover the fire and
awoke the other two They escaped
scantily clad. Walter Smith didn't
even stop to monkey with little
thing like pair of pants. His dress
was wholly inappropriate for the
street at that time of the evening.
While he didn't have time to get
his trowsers, he saved from the flames
an old fiddle, with which he was
won't to beguile part of his time.
Several persons discovered the
fire from the outside about the same
time. A crowd soon gathered, in
which, it is said. firemen were con-
spicuous for their absence They
are not to blame, however, for no
alarm was given. Bucket brigades
were quickly organized, and the
fight begun to save the Hayes and
Fleming houses.
The Smith house was too far gone
to save. A lounge and Walters
fiddle we're the only things saved.
People who saw the flames first from
the outside, say the fire seemed to be
largely in the basement. The Elem
ing and Hayes house are on either
side of the Smith residence, and
close to il.
The Hayes house was on fire sew
eral times and the fighters despaired
OF saving it. All of the furniture
was carried out, the doors even be-
ing taken off the hinges. The con .
tents was greatly damaged by rough
usage. From window, water was
thrown on the the root and end and
the flames kept in check. Mr.. Hayes
was not at home, and did not learn
of his loss until this morning.
The Fleming house was saved by
covering the roof with wet blankets,
and throwing water from the ground.
There was no window from which it
could be reached.
The rain yesterday made II posi-
BILE to save the houses. Every body
on he bill has rain barrel, and
some have as many as or They
were al! full, and the water was used
to fight the flames, Wells we're
pumped dry in getting water.
Mrs. Smiths house was insured
tor S1100 and the loss is between
$1,000 and $500.
There are over 100 houses and
population of 700 on the bill, and
they will make a demand for reser-
voir to afford fire protection.

When small pox first hit this
state the death rate was very low
and this led many people to believe
that it was not small pox. Reports
from the state board of health are TO
the effect that the death rate in
southern West Virginia from small
poy this fall has been from IL to 90
per cent. This is high enough to
convince dumb heads that t is really
small rox.

LARGE CONGREGATIONS
At Christian Church Yesterday-Earn,

ti0n.
The Christian Church on Spruce st.
spent one OF it happiest days yester-
day.
A good congregation was present in
the morning for the ministry of the
word, and the administration of the
Lords Supper. The pastor preached
earnestly on "True Marks Of a Chris
tian.o
In the evening the church was pack
ed with people. The opening song
service was enthusiastic. Miss Sad
ler's solo "TheO Songs That Mother
sang" was exquisitely rendered. But
it was not for the exquisite art that
the entire congregation listened with
rapt attention. IL was because the
singer sang from the heart, sang to
the heart, sang Of things dear to the
heart of every one.
The subject of the sermon was
"What Must l do to be saved?" The
preacher said: "We are not to be
saved from persecution, because the
true christian will be prosecuted. We
are not to be saved from death, for all
men must die. We are to be saved
from sin. If you want to tnd out
how men and women were saved from
sin according TO the teaching of Christ
and his Apostles read the book of
Acts.
