WHAT is UP?
Wabash is Getting Busy in Par
kersburg Section.

Engineers are THERE'S Work to be
Resumed on Little kanawha-
Information is Hard to Get
the Mysterious Movements of OH.
Gals.
The movements of the Wabash are
at present somewhat mysterious.
Signs are multiplying that the Little
Kanawha route is to receive some at.
tention. Chief Engineer McFettridge
is in Parkersburg and Bert M.
Laughed of this place has also gone
there.
None OF the engineers mentioned
would talk for publication about the
movement or what it means. People
who have been watching the progress
OF events think that it presages inn
portant developments in that section.
When WORK stopped so suddenly and
so unexpectedly on that road from
Parkersburs through to the West Vir-
ginia Central the prediction was made
that it would be resumed. President
Blair of the Little Kanawha so stated
and this was not generally believed by
outsiders.
They have something else to medi-
tate upon and it may be that they
will see the work start soon.
Others say that the line through this
section will be built too but that rail
road strategy has led to the shifting
of operations again. What is going
under the surface OF course cannot be
learned by the general public and
time will have to develop what is
doing.
Meanwhile keen attention is being
directed to Parkersburg and that sec
ton.

LOWER CLASSMEN CLASH
Sophomore and Freshmen
Fought in WOODBURY. Hall.
Girls Cheered from Steps and Windows
Clothes of Contestants Torn to
Shreds Future Trays Inevitable
Both Classes Elect Officers.

The Sophomore and Freshmen
classes of the University FLASHED
in WOODBURY. Hall Thursday evening
and for half an hour or more, the
central corridor of the building saw
more connection than in the palm
lest days of Tom Ho.nof and the
famous. law class. The sturdier mem
bers of the class mixed up in real
earnest, and while no one was SER
iously hurt, they came out of the
fray with all the marks of battle.
A meeting OF the Freshmen class
was called for 6:l5 o'clock in the
room formerly occupied by Prof.
Chollet. The Sophomores were col
lected to meet in the same 70 m at
GAS. Before the Freshies had
struggled through with their bust
ness. the Sophs began to arrive IN
the corridor. They barricaded the
door from the outside and when the
naughty sevens" wanted to.,get out,
they couldn't. Some OF the fresh
men jumped from the windows, and
went around into the hall. They
took away the barrieade ard threw
the offending Sophs out the front
door.
The released Freshmen joined
battle with the Sophs, who were
heavily reinforced b. this time, and
the fun began in earnest. The con
testarts showed, pushed, wrestled
and fought up and down the corridor
for half an hour. The girls of each
class stood on the steps and in the
windows and cheered Justify for
their favorites.
The Sophs finally took possession
of Prof. Stewards room, and attempt
ed to hold it. Here the fiercest part
of the battle occurred and when it
was over, the room looked like
planters homestead after Kansas
cyclone. Prof Stewart had some
very emphatic remarks to make this
morning about it.
The scrap stopped when everybody
got too tired to fight longer No
one was seriously hurt, but enough
clothes were torn to stock a clothing
store, some shirts being in shreds.
All the contestants were wet with
sweat The Freshmen, although
smaller in numbers, had the best OF
the fight, but the Sophs. are swear
ing vengeance and future clasher
are meritable
Both classes elected officers. The
Freshmen chose Bayless, president;
Miss Burns, vi president; Hart,
secretary; Dayton, historian Foulds,
treasurer; Drane, Cheer leader
The Sophonores elected Riley
president; Stout, vice president;
Miss Buchanan, secretary; Miss
Edwards, Poet; Mcdonald historian;
Denny, cheer leader; Post, sergeant
at arms: Stathers, basket ball man

/. There is always something doing
when an opera company comes to
town. The destinations which sur
rounded all specimens Of humanity
for the young sports of town are rem
derea a thousand fold more attractive
when they are set off by the glare OF
footlights and the brevity OF costume
which accompanies the presentation
of show pieces.
"The Telephone Girl" was no ex-
ception to the rule. When the train
arrived yesterday afternoon several
young men Immediately concluded
that they were heart breakers of the
first water and they Immediately pro-
ceeded to absorb fire water ia quanti-
ties that made them view everything
through rose tinted spectacles and
make them imagine that they were
irresistible.
During the performance at the
Opera House they had this'good opin.
ion of themselves riveted and made
absolutely certain by one OF the sing
ers addressing them in endearing tones
and asking them to have stein with
her. They attempted to do something
OF this kind after the show and then
the main attraction began.
Repulsed at the Delicatessen they
were on the point OF raising rough
house when reinforcements appeared
and they dispersed. Chief Price had
been notified OF the row and met them
near the MADEIRA. Here he pinche
one of the boys.
Another one demonstrated and the
officer took him in tow. The third
lad thought that he would not desert
his comrades 10 misfortune and went
with them to the Bastile where the
trio remained until four o'clock when
they were released OF their own recog-
nizance. Recorder Sisler fined them
ten each for their fun. Viewing the
matter in the harsh day light this
morning this price was regarded ex-
cessive by the young fellows but last
night it would have been thought en-
tirely too cheap for the amount Of fun
they were having.
The boys are good fellows and for
this reason their names are not given.
Their friends are having lots OF fun
about it though. The boys have de-
cided that they are not destined to
shine as operatic stars or at least
mot jist yit".

The northern newspapers have
continually misunderstood and mis-
represented the southern people and
their ideas Of the solution OF the
race problem Some Of them are
having little contact with the
problem and at short range they can
see much better. As an example of
how they look at the matter now the
following from radical anti south
ern paper, the Tittsburg Gazette
may be quoted:
In an elaborate article published in
the last issue of McClure's Maya
zine, Carl Schurz made an eloquent
appeal to the South to address itself
to the settlement OF the negro ques-
ton 1t appears to be rapidly get
ting to be northern problem also.
The most violent outbreaks of anita
gonism TO the negro are now taking
place north OF Mason and Dixon's
line. In the South negro labor is
protected and valued; there is moth
ing in that section like the shotgun
quarantine against the negro which
some Northern communities are es-
tablishing. Within the last few
days a. Normal City. Indiana, a Wig
lance committee was formed and the
negro population was given ten da} $
to clear out. The latest report was
that the negroes we're arming and
were getting ready to fight The
cause of this antagonism is the read
mess with which negroes take to
predatory habits of life. Outrages
upon person and property increase
whatever they settle. Pittsbure is
experiencing many occurrences OF
the kind, recent instance being the
murder of Bedford avenue grocer
by criminal exploits. The opinion
is gaining grouad that the negroes
as race are deficient 10 neral re-
sponsibility, and the negro question
is rapidly losing its old sectional
character

4 FEAR or DEATH
Deputy Sheriff Declares He
Always Has 1t.

Michael Poilto Says that His Country
men Want to Kill Him-Traubie
Brewing Among Members Of the llaI-
ian Colony yarient Views.
There is something doing among
the members OF the local Italian
colony. One Michael Polite seems
to be the individual they require, at
least be says they are after him. Mr..
Polito was recently appointed deputy
sheriff. This appears TO be at the
bottom of the feeling against him.
II was thought when he was an
pointed that he could give valuable
assistance to the officers OF the court
In looking after the Italians who may
break the law and in assisting in
tax collecting. The Italians look a
great deal alike tS one not aeeustom-
ed to them, and it is hard for an or
binary officer to land the man whom
he seeks. Pelito was accordingly
made deputy.
Many Italians of town allege that
he is crooked, and that he has done
things which are shady. They say
that he has beat ignorant members OF
the colony out OF hard earned money
through his knowledge of the Ian
guage and customs of the country.
Polito himself says that the charges
are baseless and are the outgrowth of
jealousy. He says that he has done
all he could for the poor Italians
who are here and hereabouts and
that he expects to continue to do
| this.
He declares, however, that he fears
assassination, and is prepared for
something of this kind every time
that he goes on the street He al
leges that the fear is well grounded
and predicts that something will drop
before very long.
Other Italians when asked about
the matter say that there is not the
slightest danger of his being killed,
but they do cay that he is liable to
get humping any time that cir
cumstaoces are FAY orable.
