Him-He and His Friends Say They
Mean 10 Have PREPARATION for Hin.
j. c. Gault has returned from
Ohio where he has been for several
weeks. During his absence he has
had q great deal of trouble from
illness in immediate relatives. His
wife and oldest son have had pneu-
monia and his brother died after q
long and serious illness.
Mr.. Gault is here to resume his
profession Of architect. During his
absence damaging stories were cir
culated about him, and he 10 at work

says that he expects to have justice
done him by those who are RESPONSE
BILE for the stories.
He denies in toto everything that
has been charged about him, and
says that he can prove that every
thing has been straight and above
board. He of course is very sore
about what has been said and feels
that he has been deeply wronged.
His friends also assert that be has
been given the worst of it and they
have promised to see that he gets

him.

To a Man Up a Tree.

To the Editor of the NEW DOMINION:
Sometimes as l 60 about town see
things which set my "thinkcr" to
work. When ] see a man carefully
cleaning the snow off the pavements
in front of his residence or place of
business, while he knows that the
Snow on about nine-tenths of the
pavenents will be left for the natural
elements to dispose of in due time.
l think he feels about like the man
who reaches down in his ''jeans" and
produces coin which allows him the
privilege of keeping dog, while he
sees score or more dogs loafng
about town, without collar or tag, and
on which no taxes have been paid.
Thus it is that some people natur-
ally do the right and just thing with
out any compulsion, while Others wait
for the law to be enforced upon them,
and alas! they wait in vain.
No doubt cur officers are all right,
and as good as the average, but it it
so much easier to just let little things
like these go and not bother abous
them.
Prediction is hereby made that
there will be some fun when the next
"grist" Of dog taxes becomes due.
Will the curfew law, when 1t comes In
force, glide along smoothly and unob-
served, as some Others? A good law,
disregarded, is much worse than no
law at all 1904.

WABASH COMING?
Letter from Gould Talks Of Nor
town Terminus.

Central May be Made by Way Of the
aoIgsntown aud kingwesd-Stop-
ping Of Work on Line Seems signiii-
cant OF This.
A special from Washington, d. c.
says:
A letter was received In Washing
ton to-day by a friend OF George Gould
the head OF the Wabash railroad sys-
TEN 10 which Mr.. Gould states that
there is no intention Of disseminating
the extension Of the road from Pitts
burg through Washington, Waynes-
burg and Canonsburg, Pa, to Nor
gantown, w. Va, there to connect
with the West Virginia Central. He
says that the matter has been post
poned for a time on account OF the
financial depression throughout the
country, but as soon as conditions SO
shape themselves work will be resum-
ed. Surveys have already been made
for the road as far as Morgantown.
and Mr.. Gogad says he intends to push
the extension to completion within
reasonable time.
The only way IN which the Wabash
can reach the Westa Virginia Central
through Morgantewn will be way OF
the NJ. g. X. 1t can reach the cen
ter Of the Stats by this route which
will be closer than the one by way OF
Fairmoat and Grafton.
At Grafton the road has encounter
ed en- obstacle in the b. 80. which will
take it years TO surmount. The
courts which are to act upon 1T will
be long and weary months reaching
a conclusion as pointed ont In this
paper some weeks ago.
In.view ofthese facts it may be that
the Wabash has determined upon
another change of plans and that this
letter referred to above Is the FIRST in
timation that it has so determined.
The cessation of work along the
line through by way OF Fairmont may
be taken as another Indication that
there is something 10 the wind which
is not generally understood at present.
Morgantown will he glad to have
the Wabash but she won't get unduly
excited over 1t until something more
definite Is heard about its plans.

SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHERS,
Can Not Afford to Miss Lee
lures by Prof. DeahI.

Conference in Which Varisus Prob.

day School Lessons-yinisters Night
Attend With Profit - Class Meets
Mondays.
To the Editor OF the New DOMINION.
The people of Morgantown who
are any way interested in the NOR.
al and religious training of the
young ale missing great deal if
they are not taking advantage of the
opportunity offered by the Univer-
sity along this line just now. No
Sunday school worker can afford to
miss the course of lectures being
given by Prof. Deahl, and it is per.
haps equally valuable for parents
and public school teachers. 1t is
not really a "lecture course" 1t is
more likea conference out of the class
talk, over with one another and the
teacher, the various problems that
present them selves in Sunday school
work and in the religious training Of
the young. A course of reading ON
the subject is assigned for those who
expect credit for their work in the
University and for any others who
care to take 1t, and part of the time
each evening is given to the study of
the next Sundays lesson in the
Sunday school.
1t seems to me that no S. S. Super.
intendant or teacher who can posi-
bly, attend these meetings can afford
to mics them and even the ministers
of the town would find considerable
light on some Of their problems by
taking the course. Surely they are
interested in subject so yitally con-
nected With their work. The class
meets on Monday evenings at seven
o'clock in Prof. Deahls class room
in Woodbnrn Hall.

Partisanship is a good cry with

offices are desired by men who other
wise would hardly be considered
And it is very good thing when
the ring desires tc have its bench
men placed in control of affairs.
The people may have the say in the
primary but the ring will try to see
to it that they don't have too much
of a say. Watch the announcements
and you will see that the ring is
busy putting out its men for the
various offices. 1t is easy enough to
spot them and then you can use your
Judgment as to the course to pursue.
