Louqh hacking Down.

Tough and Carr OF the State nor
NAL board of regents have taken &C.
casion to openly declare themselves
in favor OF modifying the act Of dis
elimination against four of the State
normal schooIs,in favor OF two to the
extent of lifting the ban of the West
Liberty school. All are glad to
know they have summoned this
much courage at least, but that does
not rectify the matter. There is
still the larger portion Of ,;the dis
elimination remaining and the in
Justice to the other three schools will
continue to exist, though such modi-
fication is made. They advance no
reasonable argument in support of
their position. The fact that the
other so-called normals are so far
outlying, as Lough says, is in truth
an excellent reason why these schools
should be continued and, made bet
ter. They are in sections of country
not adjacent to the higher schools
and educational facilities are much
more limited than in population cen
ters. The object of the free school
system is among other things uni
form education so far as possible
and the system does not discriminate
against any section or any class. All
sections Of the State pay taxes for
its support and those communities
the boards order will injure will be
compelled to continue paying taxes
for the support of the so-called nor
mails though their own are reduced
in character and finally abolished.
There is nothing right about that,
nor is it just that remote counties
and communities should be deprived
of what educational facilities they
have, simply in order to build up two
or three schools, which seem to have
the entire favor of the board.
What the regents ought to do is to
rescind the order in Its entirety con-
vert these schools into real normals,
build them up as they are II that
can not be done, and proceed to map
out a plan to be presented to the
next legislature for the establish
ment of one or two real normal
schools of the highest possible stand
ard.

CAPITALISTS BUY
SOME COAL LANDS
III Harrison and Taylor Counties and
VIII Build Triple at
ROsemOnt.

GRAFTON, June Capitalists of
Meyersdale, Pa, acting through
H. T. Bailey, of this city, have con-
summated a deal for very valuable
tract of coal land. The property
lies near Rosemont, this county, and
is partly in Taylor and partly in Har-
rison counties. 1t consists of eighty
acres of the Pittsburg seam Of coal
and seventy-fye acres of the surface.
The amount paid approximates $685.
900 and is probably the biggest price
ever paid for Pittsburg coal in this
section, 1t is understood that the
buyers intend to develop their newly
acquired property and will soon erect
tipples and install machinery with
that end in view.

nc eIty board Of trade Certainly

The city board OF trade certainly
has something quite important to do
Just now and can well afford to de
vert its attention awhile from the
procuring OF new factories to the ac-
ton Of the Standard Oil Company
now preparing to erect a large pump
ing station at Wilsonburg for the
purpose OF transporting the gas Of
this section into other States. The
board ought to have a special meet
ing at once and take action in OPP
position to such action on the part
of the octopus that will prove efrec-
tive. The board may very properly
enlist itself in this work and by CO.
operating with the people in general
may succeed in convincing the
Standard that this injustice shall
not be perpetrated on the people of
this community. There is no time
for delay, so get busy.
The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1907-06-07

All local companies interested in
the distribution of gas for home con-
sumption in this section Of the State
are alarmed over the action Of the
Standard Oil Company in establish
ing mammoth pumping station at
Wilsonburg. They state that 1t will
cut off their supply of gas, and It
certainly means that in time all will
have been transported away. Little
wonder that the community in gen
eral should be alarmed and certain
ly they have the right to appeal to
the Governor for special session
of the legislature to regulate the TAX
ing Of gas out of West Virginia. 1t
is hoped for the future welfare of
this State that the octopus will be
prevented from robDing it Of this
natural treasure for the benefit of
other states. The Indignation Of
home people, which is great, ought
TO be sufficiently convincing to the
Standard that it is about to engage
in an undertaking most unjust TO
our people, and, If it declines to give
US that consideration due us and
which is our right, our people should
force it to do so.

The work of the Clarksburg base
ball team this week away from home
and its unbroken success have given
the home people much encourage
ment and caused a revival Of the
ambition to win the pennant. That
the boys will be given a hearty re-
ception on their return the last of
the week is assured. They are earn
estly trying to win the pennant and
are climbing the percentage ladder
nicely. So, let us all speak a good
word for them and give them the
encouragement and favor they GER
tainly have earned.

People often imagine that a

planted, will 60 on Of itself for
good. In fact, shrubbery which
may appear neat, tidy and cared for
to the last degree may also be very
much neglected. In the course OF a
little time the stronger and more
pushing plants will have completely
overgrown and ousted the more del
icate ones. The lady of the garden
wonders why the pretty guelder
rose and brilliant diervilla have dis

that some great hearty laurel has

THE DRUMMER'S ERROR.
It Turned q Cry Into Laugh and
Spelled the Scene.

1t might have Happened over on
Staten Island. Anyhow, it occurred
in Greater New York ard at d stock
company house. The company put
on an uproarious farce one week,
during the course of which the lead
ing lady made several burlesque
falls. In order to accentuate the
comedy of these the stage manager
directed the drummer in the or
chestra to give the bass drum a re-
sounding whack every time the lead
ing lady fell to the stage. He fol-
lowed instructions faithfully at ev-
erv fall except one at the opening
performance. The stage manager
was furious. After the show he
had heart to heart talk with the
drummer in his dressing room.
"That was the place where the
Boom would have got the biggest
laugh, and you let it pass!" he roar
ed.
The drummer scratched his Teu'
tonic head. "Vell, it LOGGED serious
dere," he answered.
aNo, that's burlesque," said the
manager. "Now, every time you
see her fall don't think anything
but just wanop that drum. See"
"Chess," said the drummer, and
at every performance thereafter the
boom Of the drum never failed.
The following week the bill wa
sSapho." The leading lady tool
her part seriously and studied great
effects in business for the "bie
scene" at the close of the third ac'
when Jean leaves her. 1t would b
her great personal triumph, sht
thought, and truly her work was {
triumph, and the audience though
50, too, as the play proceeded. No
an eye in the house was dry wheI
the leading lady threw hersel'
against the door through which
Jean had just passed with his an ~,
gry farewell. Her form shook Will
sobs, and the very atmosphere wa
tense with emotion. Slowly sh' t.
staggered from the door, then, Eti
a great cry of agony, threw up ne,
| hands and as the curtain descended
fell prone to the floor while burl!
boom came from the bass drum.
Tears fled from the eyes OF tn
audience, the roar of applause wa
stopped as it began, and only laugh
ter, wild and long, went up at Sa
pho's agony to the accompanimen
Of a bass drum, while on the stag
the leading lady bit q great piec'
out of the floor rug and hoarsely de
manded to be led to that drumme
that she might wsllow in his GORE
