nent Farmers From all Parts Of the
State Here.
Hon. James o. Thompson delight
ed and instructed large audience
at Commencement Hall last evening
with his lecture on "The Farmer, i
King" Although the subject as
announced did not indicate that the
address would be of character to
interest those not directly interested
in farming, a great many people
were anxious to hear the speaker on
account of his personality. He was
therefore greeted by representative
and sympathetic audience which
listened intently.
DR.. Thompson's theme was the
position of the farmer in the social
order. What this position is, is in
Dictated by the title of the lecture.
The taxation theories Of Henry
George and their bearing upon the
present agitation in West Virginia,
the position OF the farmer with re.
gard to the system OF taxation and
matters closely related to these
important questions were clearly,
logically and iorcibly set forth. The
lecture was eloquent, scholarly and
entertaining DIR. Thorn ,,son will
make public addresses next week on
"rhe Age of Specialists" and "Agri-
culture and Self Culture Monday
and Tuesday evenings respectively
and large audiences will want to
ear him.
This evening. at seven thirty
O'Clock in Commencement Hall,

Ethics of the Farm" This will no
doubt be one of the most interesting
lectures of the course and will attract
large audience.

The Morgantown New DOMINION
saws: Mrs. Kate Soffel is on the
road in a so-called play. Decent peo-
pie everywhere should make her
move on. The Greensburg opera
house arrangement refused to let
her appear there. Managers of 9TH
er houses should do the same" The
NEW DOMINION is right. While the
general public had become willing to
accord this erring woman such sym
patty in the terrible results of her
escapade with the Bittle Brothers,
dent repentance and the manner in
which she served her time in the
state penitentiary of Pennsylvania
her appearance, on the stage should
not for a moment be tolerated.
Should this woman meet with the
smallest degree Of success in a dra-
matte way, her example is likely to
be followed by shallow drained crea-
lures who have taste for notoriety
and the final result would be hard to
predict. With murderers, thieves,
and participators in all manner of
crime on the stage the drama is
likely to gradually descend to a lower
plane, and the virtuous people who
made their living by their talents
and who oftentimes climb to the
highest pinnacle Of fame through
dramatic effort will be compelled to
abandon it and give way to the side
show variety of notorious specimens
exhibited. The public should taboo
Mrs. Kate Soffel and all her like
from the stage, and this can be cas-
lily accomplished by refusal OF pat
ronage to this character of attrac-
tion.-G 70 fton Sentinel.

The members of the local military
company have every reason to be
ashamed OF the record they are max
ing of attendance at drills. Some of
them have been very faithful while
others have been very faithful. The
latter are the ones to be blamed. A
chance is afforded of a trip to the ST.
Louis Fair next summer If the
members do any part of their duty
they will get to go. If they don't
act in proper manner they may go
but if they do they will pay their
own way. That are they going to

Secretary Winchester, of the West
Virginia commission Of the Louisiana
purchase exposition, has received
letter from st. Louis announcing that
the West Virginia building on the ex-
position grounds is completed aud
ready for occupancy. The letter is
from Caldwell s. Dfake, who had the
contract for the erection of the bull
ing, and they write in glowing terms
of the appearance Of the structure.
They declare the West Virginia
building is one OF the handsonest
on the grounds, and that many
complimentary expressions are heard
every day from people who visit the
place.
The building is of colonial style,
with classic domes on the corners and
an immense dome OF Wheeling golden
glass in the center. The latter will
form an observatory from which every
part of the exposition grounds can be
seen, The building covers space Of
120x100 feet, including terraces and
porches. The building proper is Tex
rs feet. The porches on the front and
sides are Is feet wide. There are
broad entrances in the front and side,
and the large columns give the whole
a massive and mposingappearance.
The exterior finish is OF staff and
plaster The interior is flushed with
ornamental metal ceiling. donated by
West Virginia manufacturers. There
are two floors containing reception
rooms, toilet rooms, smoking rooms,
information bureau, room for pack
ages, bed cham bers, offices for secre-
tary, lady matron, porter, janitor ,etc.
| There is also a hall 35x70 feet, design

which will be an objective point for

The building will be formally dedl-
Gated and opened by the West Vir-

Nothing to Save Building Some
fire Fighting Conditions.
From Mondays Daily.
The scream OF a locomotive whistle,
followed by the claBg OF the fire-bell
brought people to the streets few
minutes after nine o'clock last night.
A lively blaze in shanty occupied by
some Italians at the plant OF the
Morgantown Brick company, below
Seneca, made big light in that di-
rection, and many people hurried in
the direction OF the fire before they
found out that il amounted to moth
ing.
The shanty belonged TO the Nor
gantown Brick company. 1t was sit
by some Italians that worked for the
company. They were all away when
the fire started. The cause of the
blaze is supposed to have been an over
heated stove. The loss on the shanty
was inconsiderable, but the Italians
claim to have bad $50 in cash III the
building,and this went up in smoke.
Two members of the FIRE company 10
the Fourth ward, at least did good
work last night. George Decker and
John O'Donnel got the reel and
hose from the Beechurst house and
dragged it almost to the FIRE. Then
1t was found that water would not
save the building, and the reel was
taken back. Luckily Andy Frost
had dug the frozen earth away from
the doors, SO they could be opened.
This was done only Saturday.
As usually the third ward tlremen,
hurried towards the scene with hose
and reel, and reached the head Of
Beechurst Avenue before they found
IL was not worth while to go to the
fire. The reel from Sunnyside was
also taken to the fire, but would have
been useless because the hose is
worthless.
The city council is thoroughly
aroused to the lack Of means of fight
ing fire, and will no doubt take some
important action in the matter at an
early date.

According to the policemen, Barnes
is indebted to one William Barton
