For University Cadetship-Hon. D. W.
Moody Has Only Two Applications.


The Wheeling Telegraph says: 80
far the appointments to cadetships at
the State University at Morgantown
seem to be going begging. Some time
ago, as soon as the members OF the
legislature were notified by the Presi-
dent of the University. Hon. d. W..
Moody announced that his appoint
ment would be made from the ranks
of the laboring people, and that some
plan would be devised to decide be-
tween applicants which would be just
and fair to all. But so far out Of all
the laboring peoble of Ohio county it
seems that only two care for the ap-
pointment to the University, as UP to
this time only two applications have
been received by Mr.. Moody

A NOBLE SENATOR
Is the Place for Which Col. Jos. Me-
Yearns to Fiil-W0nt Talk but
Smiles SigniflcantIY.

Col. Joseph II McDermott, OF Nor
gantown, will be the next candidate
on the Republican ticket for seat In
the State Senate to succeed Hon, Ira
E. Robinson, from this district, If the
report of his friends is true. And it
appears to be all truth and yard wide,
says the Fairmont Times.
Colonel McDermott, according to
the report, has the full sympathy of
Senator Elkins and his friends in his
ambition to get in politics and that
he will get the nomination is said to
he as certain as any future can be.
Colonel McDermott is ambitious, it
is said, to get in the giddy whirl of ac-
tual politics, and he stands well with
his party. At Morgantown he is pop
ular and also in Marion. The manv
industries he has been connected with
all over the northern part of the state
has given him wide acquaintance.
1t is stated that Mr.. McDermott will
not talk on the political questions and
that he denies mildly that he is to be
candidate. But from sources which
seem direct and certainly correct, 1T is
learned that Senator Elkins will help
him into Mr.. Robinson's seat,

Chattanooga creek was the dividing
line between the outposts of the Fed

ing a lull in hostilities the pickets OF
both cultivated one another's acquaint-
ance, having agreed not TO fire on one
another One day when the captain OF
the Union guard saw General Grant,
with his staff, approaching he said TO
his men, "Turn out the guard for the
commanding general" The Confeder-
ates on the other side of the creek, not
more than fifty feet away. heard the
order. and their captain conceiving the
idea of paying a compliment to the en-
envy, shouted, ''Turn out the guard for
the commanding general Of the Federal
army" The Confederate pickets stood
at attention for several moments and
then saluted Grant as he rode away.
