BOY SAW A BEAR

Master Fred Waldo had quite an ex-
citing experience this morning while
out picking blackberries. He had
heard about those bears that are sup
posed to be in or around town. His
dog became frightened. Fred made
search to see what was doing, and
to his horror he spied one of those
monsters coming over the hill. Fred
has no idea what became of his basket
of berries. He arrived home safe, but
loI<inE very pale between the ears.

CONTRACT SIGNED
WITH THE REDS

Manager WEIGH this morning com
pIeted arrangements whereby the Cia-
cinnati Reds will be seen against the
locals at Union PARK on Tue,dny, Au-
gust 18th A handsome guarantee had
to be given first, but this was readily
forthcoming, aad the game Is a GER
tainty, weather permitting. The Reds
would draw better than any other
major league club here, because of the
fact that Paddy Livingston, former
Wheeling player, and well known to
many local fans, is doing the bulk OF
the catching, while Hans Lobert,
Pittsburg boy who used to barnstorm
through this section. is playing short
in place of Tom Corcoraa. The In
dian, Jude, will also be a member of
interest.

Y5JNG Men ARRESTED
FOR .STONING MAIL BOX ES

United States Marshal e. D. Hupp
All ted two promihent young men
81 near Wilmington Tuesday and.
brought them before United state'
comnis siouer Thomas s. spates to
ansyg or the charge OF batterins rural
route mail boxes.
Aliel warner and Alfred Fluharty,
wo prominent young men of near
aIanningtol. we're brought to this
and lodged Ia Jail to await the
federal grand jury, by Deputy Mar
llal E4nDp.
seems that the prisoners who
are not yet twenty years old, were in
the habit of throwing stones at the
boxes. Complaints were made but
they refused to dssist from the prac-
tee and the arrests were the cui
nination.
Hupp. brought the men in on the
evenfng train from Fairmont. They
claim that they intended no harm and
did not rife the boxes of the contents
and had no intention OF such thing.
Both beIonw to good families aad will
likely secure bail.
The government holds as sacred
rural mall box as it does a postofice
or any other government utility, and
the destruction or mutilation of one
OF them is crime that severest
punishment is provided for; Just
how serious is the case against the
young men in the custody of the
marshal remains to sbe seen.
Commissioner Spates fixed their
bond at $500 each for federal court at
Wheeling Sept. 10, and in, default they

In the notice of the collage which Is printed Tn another portionMbf this issue 1t will be noted that IiaGrange has an alumnae body numbering nearly 1000 who have graduated from the institu- ton since It's establishment. The graduates are to be found in all por- ti0ns of the South. and probably no stronger recommendation could be of- fered in evidence Of the high standing of the school than the fact that 500 of these were students under Rufus w. Smith. A. M. for twenty years presi- dent.
 The curriculum of the college is that recommended by the Educational Corn- mission of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. It is under the man. agernent of experienced teachers whc have made education of young women life study. Many of them are grad uates of European or Northern insti. tutions. although of Southern birth. ana a number alumni Of Southern colleges who have taken post-gfaduate work in other institutions.
 The college places special stress up- on the study of music. It has the largest pipe organ owned by 8 college in Qeoreia, and it's courses iffharmony ana musical theoretics measure up to the highest standards
 sone strong inducement which Da- Grange is able to offer to young wo men Is the unusual demand made upon the faculty from other institutions for graduates of the college as teachers l. The majority of the alumnae of the school during the last twenty years have engaged in teaching, and the de- mana made annually upon the faculty of the school is greater than 1t can supply.
