7HE No7mAL SCHOOL.

Another years work is completed al
the Fairnlont Normal School, arotl-
er class Of Young men and women IS
now numbered among the alumni OF
t1c- institution. Each year the in
t1uence of the school widens and the
scope of its influence broadens- 1t
means something TO graduate from
such an institution as we have in our
midst. The Normal School gives e:-
ceilent academic training: but 1t
does more. it builds character and
gives truer meaning to life. Pr1n-
ciDal MCGOWAN came here stranger
last fall, but he received the proven
bal glad hand Fairmont always gives
TO new men. He and his very eth
cient corps of teachers have worked
with untiring zeal to keep the Fair
mont State Normal where she be-
longs, at the head of the procession.
We wish both faculty and students
a pleasant vacation and hope fo" the
graduates a successful entry upon
whatever line of work they may I'M
dertalte.

The Virginian does not

The Virginian does not seem to
know where it stands upon this tax
observation-disclosures Times
Yes, it knows exactly, and took the
pains in Mondays issue of the West
Virginian to make its position known.
and also took the pains in yesterdays
issue to call its Democratic contem-
poraEys attention to it. The West
Virginian has nothing to conceal in
discussing the tax question. 1t
doesn't .wabble or straddle on the
subject, nor does it intend to do so.
Like all sensible people, 1t is in favor
ofstax reform, and thinks, as it said
on Monday, that it is as good tax
reformer as Candidate Dawson, the
Hon. George G. Sturgiss or any other
sreformer. The West Virginian never
was straddler and never expects to
be. It doesn't have to be.

MacArthur's Concert.

The open air concert given by Mac
Arthur's special string orchestra, be-
gan on the mound on the Normal
campus at nine O'Clock this morning
and continued until ten. The music
was high-class, and the soft strains
sent out from the stringed instru-
ments made the auditors feel what
the poet felt when there fell from his
pen,
"And the cares that infest the day
Shall fold their tents like the Arabs,
And as silently steal away.
The music rendered during the pro-
gram was about the best ever heard
at the normal The medley was
exceptionally good, and was applaud
ed at different times during its rem
dition. Macarthur will furnish music
for the banquet at the Watson this
evening.

DEAD
YOUNG JOHN kENNON, FOUN .
BENEATH RAILROAD BRIDGE,
DIED YESTERDAY.

WHEELING. June 15.-John Ken
non, the young man who was found
in an unconscious condition beneath
the railroad bridge at Valley Grove
Monday morning, died at the county
hospital yesterday. The body is still
at the hospital.
Last night two young men from
Washington, Pa, arrived at Elm
Grove and went at once to the in
Urinary hospital, where they recog-
nized the young man. He has been a
resident of Washington and was in
Wheeling Sunday. The last his two
friends saw of him was when he was
on the Pittsburg train bound for home
Sunday evening.
The theory advanced that ne had
been knocked from the steps Of one
of the cars is probably correct. The
injured young man never reSained
consciousness, and, as no one saw him
fall the real facts in the case will
never be known His death was
largely due to the exposure.
The authorities at Washington have
been notified of the death of the young
man, but as yet the officials OF the
infrmary have received no word as
what to- do with the body. 1t will
likely be shipped to Washington some sons
time this afternoon.

Col. Bryan has written letter to
a New York Democratic friend. NJ.
G. Palliser, who has called an anti
Parker meeting there, strongly OBJ
jecting to Judge Parker as the Ma
tional Democratic standard bearer.
Among other things Col. Bryan says,
in referring to Judge Parker: ut is
the first time, in recent years at
least, that man has been urged
for so high position on the ground
that his opinions are unknown.
Surely the Democratic party is in
desperate straits if among all of its
members it cannot find trustworthy
man who has been interested
enough in public questions to give ex-
preston to his opinion

.Iynen%I collect my scattered thought,
This fact within my brain is
wrought,
Of every !o=ely flower chat grows,
The lorel3est is the Lyceum rose.
As white as snow, fragrant as dew,
Excelled by none, equaled by few,
This lovely flower has for its claim,
The highest place on heights OF
fame.
This rose We hold up to your gaze,
Behold it, and in your amaze,
Look at its size. its strength, its
FORM,
Wits ,f Us beauty -le'e.- was
shorn
And as rhe rose is Queen of flowers,
This lovely rose this rose Of ours,
With color pure and sweet perfume,
Majestic power she does assume.
Der wealth and beauty. grace and
love,
& Der things on earth and things
above,
She rules Sc gently, fr.1ly, loving
kind,
SIZE rules the heart, she rules the
mind
When other flowers life is done,
I The roses life is just begun;
IL blossoms on anc, in It's death,
Gives the world its sweetest
breath
The body then, for which it stands,
The Lyceun known in these lands,
So good. so true SO firm, so strong,
TO her eternal fame belongs.
