Governor Cummins has been noti-
fed that the national Shiloh battle
field commission has decided against
the Fifteenth and Sixteenth Iowa regi-
ments, and will not permit correc.
ton of the inscription on the Shiloh
monuments to show that they fought
on the forenoon of the first day Of
that memorable and bloody battle.
+ This decision has been promulgated
despite the fact that the regiments
fought during that forenoon and lost
large number of men before IL
o'clock, that the reports of the col
onels stating that their commands
were engaged in the forenoon have
stood unquestioned for forty-two
years; that the men who were wound
ed in the battle have testified that
they were wounded in the forenoon,
and that the regiments in particular
the soldiery of the state in general
and the official representatives Of
Iowa have demanded that justice be
done these Iowa veterans and their
comrades in arms who died from in.
juries received on an occasion In
which the national commission now
decides arbitrarily that they did not
participate.
Governor 'Cummins will not rest
with the decision of the commission.
He will take it directly to the war de.
partment. He has written to Wash.
ington requesting an opportunity to
present the case to the department.

given the Iowa veterans, no other
plans have been made; but 1t is be-
lievei that If the war department
does not reverse the Shiloh commits
sion, the matter will be carried to the
president and to congress If neces.
sary, and never will the Iowa monu-
ments at Shiloh be dedicated unless
the wrong on which the national
commission insists has been righted.
Officers at Fort Des Moines are be.
coming alarmed over the number of
assertions which are occurring from
the post, and efforts will be made to
prevent their continuance. Since the
last pay day, September ~, eleven
,, men have left the ranks, including
two non-commissioned officers. Two
corporals, whose salary is 500 per
month, with all living expenses, are
among those who have disappeared
recently. Nine of the eleven were
privates earning $13 per month in ad-
dition to their living expenses. 81
can't understand why it is so many
men are DESERVING" said one of the
officers, when asked about the mat.
ter. at seems that for the past two
years assertions have been more fire.
quent than before. The men, If caught,
are subject to Imprisonment of from
twelve to eighteen months, or, If
1t is the second offense for a longer
time. No special effort is now being
made to catch these fellows but there
Is a reward Of $50 to the officer who
catches deserter, and this places Of
fcers on the alert for deserters. The
| majority Of them are caught sooner
or later and brought back to serve
out their time. OF course, there are
fellows who want some excitement all
of the time, and if there is nothing
doing in army life they want to try
something else"

The members of the board of agri-
culture are growing quite enthusiast
tic over the idea of changing the fair
into a two weeks exposition. The
idea is that in that way the fair
would not have to depend so entirely
upon the weather as 1t has formerly.
With a four days show 1t is impos-
! sible to dodge the weather, but If the
fair should last two weeks it would
not be so difficult. There Is a belief
that the legislature would be glad to
cooperate in the new scheme. 1t
would require small annual appro-
priation from the legislature, say
100000, IL the idea of abolishing the
entrance fee were adopted, as now
contemplated. The directors have
been discussing. the advisa bility Of
abolishing the admission fee altogeth-
er. This would attract many more
thousands Of people. Short courses
could be established and lectures
given just as the state agricultural
college now instructs the farmers of
the state every winter. Many fea-
lures could be added to the two
weeks show that are impossible now
Then, if it should rain during day
or two of the fair it would do no par.
ticular harm.

Albert Rehl and Miss Estella
Ethel Cation, two popular young
people of this city, were quietly
married Sunday afternoon at the

Glass plant. The newly welded
couple will go to housekeeping
in the near future on the South

VanCamp Will Be Prosecuted.

The grand jury is in session at
Middlebourne, and will no doubt
return an Indictment against
Franklin VanCamp, charging him
with killing Peter B. Lowry, on
Oil Ridge, in this county, near
this city, matter our readers are
all familiar with. G. P. Lowry, a
brother of the murdered man, as
sisted by his other brothers, are
going to have the case vigorously
prosecuted. C. P. Lowry came
up to our city last night to attend
court, and the Parkersburg News
is our authority for saying the
Lowry brothers have employed
as counsel to prosecute the case
James Mcintyre, Of New Martins
vile; Congressman B. B. Dovenor,
of Wheeling: Senator Charles T.
Caldwell, of Parkersburg, and r.

JOSEPH FERRELL
SERIOUSLY INJURED

He is very large man, and the
supposition is he struck on the
back of his head, as it is terribly
cut and bruised. The attending
physicians cannot yet tell just
how serious his injuries are. The
map is suffering much pain and
complaining of his breast hurting
and it is probable he sustained in
ternal injuries. 1t is said the man
was under the influence of liquor
at the time the accident occurred.
His home is at Fayette City, Pa.
but he has been working in the
glass factories in this city and
New Martinsville for the past
year.

We note quite a number of i'm
provements going on in different
parts of the city at the present
time. In certain portions new
residences are being built, while
in other sections Of the town many
citizens are making substantial
additions to their homes and re-
painting the same. We are pleas
ed to note this evidence of pros
perity and enterprise on the part
of the people of Sistersville, and
hope to see others of our citizens
who have not already repaired
and repainted their property, to
follow the good example set by
their neighbOrs.
William Corbitt, of Wells street,

da erected on the east side of his

esteemed pioneer resident of Long

President Bailey Complimented.

The April number of the West
Virginia School Journal contains
the following. 1t is of local in
terest in part, and states a gen.
eral truth to the Importance of
which many portions of our State
are awakening: Next to cOmpe-
tent teachers stand intelligent and
progressive members of the Board
of Education. In fact, in many
places at the present time such
boards are needed even more than
teachers, because aggressive ac-
tion must be taken to revolution
ize the methods that have too
long prevailed in the community.
Then when this work is done mod
ern architecture, better equip
ment, higher salaries and good
teachers will come. Among this
class of public spirited citizens we
know no persons in the State who
have rendered better service to
their respective communities than
Charles E. Jolliffe, president Of
the board in Warrington district,
Marion county, and Charles Bail
Cy. president in the Sistersville
district, Tyler county. Mr.. Joliffe
has led in the erection of the fin.
est school building in the State,
while Mr.. Bailey has been instru-
mental in improving the schools
in mis- district in a marked degree,
both always working in a most
effective way for the advance
ment of the children under their
care. Neither district is indepen-
dent but a large magis-
terial district with a thriving lit
tie city as center, and they have
looked after the country schools
as well as those of the towns.
Both have been progressive
enough to advance salaries even
in the face of direct opposition
of some of the taxpayers, and
they have employed the best teach
they have employed the best
teachers they could secure ire
spective Of whence these teachers
came. This paragraph is not
written as a mere compliment to
these gentlemen, although they
are well deserving OF kindly men
ton, but our desire is that their
good work may be more widely
known so that other Boards Of Ed
ucation may pattern after their
excellent example.

IMPROVEMENTS NOTED

James Chambers, proprietor OF
the Riverview Hotel, is preparing
to build a large stone wall on the
west side of it. The wall will be
122x22 feet, which, when COM
pleted, will be great protection to
his property. He proposes to
make other substantial improve
ments during the summer.
Allen Litman, who is erecting a
neat home on the South Side, will
have the same ready for occu-
pancy by the last of this week.
w. P. Hall, of Wells street, has
about completed the work of rais-
ing his house. Mr.. Hall has raised
his home several feet, his object
being to get it out of the way OF
high water. He is also making
other improvements to his resi-
dence..
j. Fred Neill, of Wells street,
is making some repairs in his
home which will add greatly to
the appearance of the same when
the work is once completed.
H. w. Mccoy has a force of car
penters at work repairing a resi-
dence on Brown Betty street,

Engle Taken to the Asylum.

Yesterday evening T. 5. Engle
was taken by guards from the IN
sane asylum to the State asylum
for the insane at Spencer. The
trouble of Mr.. Engle is certainly
sad. He had indulgent parents
who had educated him, he was
building up a good law practise,
and had everything in prospect
for long and useful life, but he
was unfortunate IN forming the
bad habit of drinking and using
morphine until his system became
diseased. and ended his losing his
mind and nearly committing mur.
der. He will no doubt soon be
cured at the asylum, and will re-
turn home again, where We hope
he will be able to live without a
repetition of the trouble and suf.
feriug he has undergone.
