the necessaries OF life had gone up e1
cept bis salary.
MEMBERS OF the Board OF regent
and all commencement visitor are In
yited TO visit the Acme.
IT was almost this cold at this tim
last year. Most people have forgot
ten about it however.

birth OF the U. s. flag, 126 years az
on June 14th the flag was adopted b
the Congress.
BY cutting loose from US w. &

prises until the very last minute
They did not altogether please SOM
OF the people whom they noticed.
A BAD freight wreck occurred wesi

was killed. Passenger trains were de
layed about three hours.
PlTrsBURG is getting ready for az
old fashioned Fourth and subscrip
tions are being raised for that pur
pose.
HICKS hit this weather having pre-
dicted thunder storms and remarkably
cool weather for June. The weather
bureau says that II has been colder
than in any June since 1878.
THE Connellsville papers are hav.
ing fun with each other because one
of them announced the death OF Big
Dave Forsythe OF poisoning and Big
Dave is very much alive.
It's a mistake to imagine that itching
piles can't be cured mistake to suffer
q day longer than you can help. Doan's
Ointment bringa instant relief and per-
manent cure. At any drug store, SOC.
In Wheeling there are but
seventy drinkers to each saloon.
This means that the citizen OF that
town who drinks has to keep busy In
order to maintain his favoriJe booze
joint.
WITH the way that the Pittsburg
ball team has been winning lately
those who had joined the knockers
club are having hard time of it.
There is much betting on it.
THE formal dedication OF the Key
ser Preparatory Branch has taken
place. The institution is running
10 full blast and has been quite sue
cess. II will eventually become a
valuable feeder to the University.
THE election to pass upon the pro-
position to issue $500 worth of
bonds to build school building at
Grafton was endorsed by more than
500 votes for it and Al opposed.
THE full report of every thing that
has happened recently at Shepherds
town makes interesting reading. 1t
will be found In another column.
There have evidently been some doings
over there.
STUDENTS have been going home 10
large numbers for several days. The
greater part Of the home going crowd
has already left and those that are still
here will probably remain until after
Commencement.
OvERcoATs In June are rare
sight but people here have been
treated TO that recently. The oldest
inhabitant who tells about the big
June frost years and years ago came
nearly getting knocked out
LUMBER dealers in all the towns
south Of Pittsburg in Pennsylvania
have formed combine with capital
of three million dollars. None of the
dealers in this state are members of
this combine.
The Waynesburg Times says that
Wapnesburg is million feet above
sea level 1t went up in the air
when it received definite assurances
that the gouge would soon have q
competitor.
AN out Of town young man who
has been stopping at one of the hotels
has babe farewell to the town and has
hiked. Several entertainments in the
way of surprises and pound parties
were being framed up for him but he
has escaped from them by going away.
The f & M bank continues to
show better and better reports. The
growth Of business In Morgantown is
reflected in the growth of her banks
and the citizens connot help feeling
pride In their ACHIEVEMENTS. There is
where money talks.
IT may be that the Pittsburg, Elk
and Southern will build road
through this county. At least the
map and profiles are to be filed here.
Several railroads have done thae
much without increasing the amount
of trackage in the county.
PEOPLE who want to 60 to the Al
umni dinner will have to get their
tickets early so that the committee
may make the proper arrangements
tor them. When dinners cost so
much there cant be any foolishness
about setting lot of plates for
which there is no demand.
A STRANGER came here the other
day. He was not here long until be
was met by a new acquaintance. The
stranger stated that he was looking
for the H :. G. Baker Hardware Com
pany's store as he understood that they
sold hardware and building material
cheaper than any other place in town.
The stock that they carry being so
very extensive is one factor which en-.
ables them to unGersell competitors.
In very short time that railroa
south from EIkins will be connect ed
with the line building north from
the C. q O. and it will then be an
easy matter to go to the southern
end of the state. At present very
long and tedious detour must be
made when one has business in that
section.
SOME of the residents of the west
side down towards Granville are
getting excited over the chance
which they fancy they have to sell
their property at good figures.
They expect Mr.. Sturgiss and Mr..
Elkins to buy every thing in sight
at big figures. They will find that
they will pay what any thing is
worth but not much more.
A PLAN which might be followed
here has been put into motion in
PittsDurg. All of the Sunday
Schools Of town are going out in q
monster picnic. They will have
special trains and will 60 for some
distance, take dinner and fool around
until late in the afternoon and then
return home. There will be misery
enough in this to satisfy the most
rabid adherent of the picnic system.
