torney Cornell has made known his
Views in no uncertain terms. He de-
clares as unsafe the proposed appraise-
ment plan provided by the disjointed
and illy-conceived Howell law. He
says the only true plan of acquiring
the water works is under the charter
provision of eminent domain. Does Mr..
Wright take issue with City Attorney
Connell on this point? If so, let him
define himself. 1t is well known that
Mr., Cornell is working in harmony
with the water board and that it's mem
bers believe in the correctness of his

Look not upon the wine when it

stingeth like an adder"
This warning uttered so many
years ago was fallen unheeded on
ears whose heads have ached after
wards in the same old way. Morgan
town had sample of it last night
and today two heads as large as
barrels are mute evidence to the
owners of the wisdom of the advice.
A gentleman from town went to
the fire up the Blackbott.e yesterday
afternoon. He met an old friend
and companion who had some elder
berry wine the like of which had
never before been tasted in this vi
entity. An invitation to drink was
followed by deep rotations.
Finally the Morgantown man
started home. Near the Valley
Wood Working company's plant he
fell asleep by the road side.
Here he was seen and his wife was
notified. She went after him. When
she reached his side he had lost a
watch, chain and finger ring.
A man and woman passing were
suspected. They had passed but a
moment before and just before they
came along the jewelry had been not
ed on the person OF the sleeper.
When the relief party reached him
the adornments were gone. The sus-
poets separated when the wife appear
ed. The man ran down the hill and
the woman hustled past trying to
avoid discovery under cover Of the
darkness which had fallen.
They are known and will be given
until Saturday TO return to this office
the articles mentioned. The watch
belonged to a lady and she wants it
In case the articles do not come back
there will be some arrests which will
rattle the dry bones OF town. Don't
be backward. Bring in the stuff and

The surveyors are running lines for

railroad lines to. Mr.. Elkins owns lots
of coal on the West Side. In order to
reach these fields and to get his coal
out he must have railroads.
In accordance with these conditions
the surveyors have been ordered to
get busy and make as many surveys
as they may deem necessary.
Several lines will be run for the

know what Mr.. Ekins wants, says
that he will decide what be will build
after nearing reports from the various
surveys which are being made
He will do nothing toward building
to the Wabash Until that road has
completed It's line through the coun-

aud later by the Commercial School
An arch has been cut through to con.
meet with the old quarters Of the

The School now occupies the entire
third floor of Woodburn Hall. Old
Commencement Hall has been cut up
and divided into three rooms, a Recit-
al Hall, a new office for the Dean and a
new studio for Prof, Spence. These
rooms have all been decorated and
presented very handsome appear
ance. The Recital Hall is an artistic
gem and there is no room or Hall on
the Campus or in the city as hand
some as this is now The cost of
decorating has been over $3.50. 90 and
was personally supervised by Dean
Wrightson who secured the services Of
Mr. Siegfried OF GAINESVILLE Ohio to
do the designing and the work. There
are handsome panels on the ceiling
made Of plaster relief and shaded down
with combination of dainty and del
cate colors, and all around the walls
is a plaster relief scroll the main color
being soft and delicate pink. Such
room will add much to the artistic
atmosphere Of the School of Music

pleaSurable events are looked forward
to as soon as the hail has been dedi-
Gated, which will be in the near fu-

The money for these improvements
does not come out Of the University

Even the weather man seems to
have warmed up, or cooled down, to
the situation, and is showing mark
ed favor to the Old Gold and Blue
foot ball squad. The weather has
heen fine and invigorating, and the
candidates for gridiron honors have
been aole to show good deal more
snap than is usual this early in the
season
Coach Trout is putting the men
through a thorough system of train
ing. A training table has been es-
tablished at the Wallace House, and
the men are being fed on the food
that makes Drawn, ard destroys
superiuous fat. The menu will be
narrowed gradually, until they are
given only the most wholesome food.
A run ola mile or two every morning
about nine o'clock is one of the wind
and muscle makers practieed.
Eighteen men were out tor practice
Saturday from two o'clock to four.
After the practice Coach Trout said
"Well we ought to get team out of
that bunch" He is satisfied with
the material already on hand, but is
looking for more. Whenever big
man shows up on the campus,
Manager Stout and Captain Seaman
are after him. One of the posi-
biities captured in this manner is
Williams, six footer from down in
the state, who has played foot ball,
aud knows considerable about the
game. Hardy, another man from
the southern part OF the state, is
expected here today He is expect
ed to make the team.

art, OF Parkersburg is here. Falls,
an old Kenyon college player, arriv-
ed Saturday, and was in practice
this afternoon for the first time. In
addition to these, there are a number
of other good men who will be here.
Coach Trout is well pleased with
the material he has He Is popular
with the men, and the fans who
have seen him at work think he will
get the best work possible out of the
men. The team will probably be
heavier than it has been for several
years.

INTERESTING LITIGATION.
Illinois man is in This Section Looking
up Affairs Connected With Morgan.
town People.

w. L. Cundifi, Esq, of Danviile,
ILL.,. came to town last evening to
take dispositions 10 the matter OF the
estate OF VIM. II. Staggers, deceased,
formerly Of Morgantown, w. Va. who
In '69 removed to Logan county, af-
terward so Vermllion county, Ill.,,
where said Staggers died about two
years ago, says the Waynesburg Times.
Mrs. Staggers' maiden name was Hes
ter Jane Schriver daughter OF Adam
Shriyer, of our locality. 1t seems
that Mrs. Staggers inherited a fair
estate from her father, which she
merged with her husband, and invest
ed in Morgantown property, her hus-
band taking the title to same. When
Mr. Staggers removed TO Illinois, he
purchased property and took the title
to same, using his own and his wife's
means. At his death, by will, he left
his wife but life estate in the prop
erty, valued at $40, 900, the property
being devised to two nieces, who with
their husbands, possess it. The wild
ow prays the court to declare a result
ant trust in this case, and to this end
the dispositions in Greene and Monon:
gaiia~counties are being taken. Mrs.
Staggers is in her seventy third year.
