DIR. WIER'S LETTER
DOES NOT THINK ANY GREAT
INJUSTICE HAS BEEN DONE
TO THE STUDENTS.

DR.. John Wier. president OF the
college at Buckhannon writes to the
Wheeling Intelligencer as follows:
The dispatch to your paper of the
9th inst, touching my relations TO
football in our school, is plainly a
misrepresentation.
On page 13 OF our catalogue under
head Of athletics, passed by the fac
ulty and the board. there are two
rules:
mo. mo student shall be per-
mitted to be on any of the athletic
teams or take part in any inter.
scholastic contest, either at home or
away from home. until after he has
been in school one term and made
standing in studies and conduct
satisfactory to the faculty"
mo. All students under TWEEN.
ty.one years OF age wishing to be.
come members of teams must have
written permission from parents or
guardian"
The faculty. not the president, at
the beginning Of the term informed
our athletic association that these
rules would have to be complied
with. A game was played in which
these rules were violated and the
faculty, during the absence of the
writer at conference, passed an &C.
ton forbidding any further games
by the association, unless these two
rules were strictly complied with.
This Is the sum and substance of
schools action respecting football.
Because OF this action by the faculty,
which comprises all the teachers,
the team itself saw fit to cancel
further games. The members of the
faculty and the student body well
know that the athletic association
has no firmer friend than the writer.
AS to the alleged clash between
the writer and the students 1t can
be easily seen there can be no ground
for such thing as all athletics is
under the control of the faculty.
IL is possible mat there, Is some
feeling in the minds of number of
the younger students against the fac.
ulty, because recently the faculty,
not the president, disciplined mum.
Der of our young men for petty dep.
relations about the ladies' hall.
Every school knows that after ac.
tons of discipline by faculty that
the students disciplined do not feel
too sweet towards the members of
the faculty.
The president and the faculty are
one with respect to athletics. Their
purpose is not to abolish manly
sport, but to regulate it consistently
with the ideals of great Christian
school,

The Letter.
On Boston Express,
Oct. %. 1905.
To the Editor Of the Evening Jour.
nal:
Dear Sir:-I hereby request that
you correct in your paper all of the
false statements contained in an ar.
Gcle relating to my marriage to DR..
Chirurg, of Boston. I have known
DR.. Chirurg for the last two years.
The doctor has never misrepresented
facts to me in any way. He was a
welcome friend and admirer by US
all My intended marriage was
known to my family and friends for
many weeks beforehand.
The motive which actuates my moth.
er in her present attitude is an ac-
counting of my fathers estate which
shall demand. This was known to
her, and 1t was this knowledge, in
my belief, that has caused her in
sef-protection to issue most unjust
statements. / went out of my home
on the Thursday following my mar.
riage, and my family were informed
Of our whereabouts. am twenty
seven years of age and am perfectly
aware of my acts.
should, of course, have preferred
to suit everyone in my choice of a
husband, but under the existing fam.
lily conditions to please my mother
was impossible, and would have been
Sc, in my opinion, no matter who the
man might have been.
In justice to my husband and my.
self hope you will publish this state
ment in your valuable paper.
Respectfully yours,
Martha NJ. Chirurg (nee Ames).

A County ROad CyerSeer.

Now that the election is over, let US
turn our attention to the question OF
getting better roads. Some time age
we suggested that the business men
make it q point to get together and
drive in a body over the roads leading
to Red Cloud, taking with them some.
one who is competent to point out the
best methods of placing the roads in
passable condition and capable OF
making estimates on the cost. Then
let the merchants raise a fund to pay
for having the work done under com.
petent supervision. We still believe
the scheme to be a good one, and, as
1t is certain that something will have
to be done or Red Cloud will gradual.
ly lose its prestige as a trading point,
and as IL is not at all certain that the
county commissioners will help us out
why not tackle the matter at onceg
There will never be permanent good
roads until the legislature passes a
law providing for a county road over
seer, whose duty it shall be to see that
road work is done properly. The
county assessor law has proved to be
godsend to taxpayers, and there il
good reason to believe that a law pro
viding for a county road overseeI
would show a similar result.
Let's push it along.

cipal candidates received very weak
support, while Potsdam, which ordi-
narily is Populist, gave all the Repub-
lican candidates good majorities. It
would be useless to attempt to assign
a cause for the defeat of CARRIER and
Keeney, except that there were too
many candidates from the south pai t
of the county.
However, the Republicans have
gained three county officers. Five
Populist officers retire Treasurer Nc.

Halbert Thomas, a tenth grader, has
dropped out. He did not care to take
the Latin course, but felt that he
could not afford to do only three
fourths work. 1t is unfortunate that
conditions are such that only one
course car be offered. However, at
present the board is powerless to
remedy this. An additional course
can not be offered unless another
teacher he added to the high school
force. Even if financial conditions
were favorable, room is lacking.
Even then it would be questionable
whether the extra teacher ought not
to be placed in the grades, 1t all
comes to this: A new building must
be provided before conditions a be
materially bettered.

game to be played with Weston next

one of the best amateur teams in the

TEST LOCAL OPTION LAW.
Yamhill County Court Failed to De.
clare Result of Election.

BY suit filed in the circuit court
entitled state of oregon ex rel f. b
Rutherford. A. NJ. Brumback and w
II. Houser VS.. the county court of the
state of oregon in and for Yamhill
county, and b. f. Rhodes, county
judge, and A. NJ. Waddel and r. L.
Booth, county commissioners, as
members of said court, the question
of the legality of the election last
November on prohibition of the sale
of liquor comes up to be heard again.
This time It will come before Judge
Galloway, says the McMinnville Tele-
phone-Register.
The complaint sets out that the
parties asking for a mandamus to
compel the county court to declare
prohibition in this county, are inhab-
itants, tax payers, residents and legal
voters of this county.
They next set out the legal charac-
ter of the parties comprising the
county court. the fact that an election
was held i'm November, 1904. and also
section 10 of the local option law.
The fact is then shown that the
canvassing board reported majority
of 2 for prohibition and then, allege
that the county court failed to de-
clare prohibition and that by such
failure on the part of the court, the
