Student and Logici7n.

In physical makeup Gov Glasscock
typifies his course. He looks the student
and the logical concuder. Unfortunately
at times from inflammatory rheumatism.
He may have in mind the saving of future
worries by his preliminary tour of the
state. tour he intends to keep up until
he has vi~ited every necessary section.
abe for ride from Wheeling to the nor
NAL school at West Liberty this week he
announced that he would return in the
early spring. when more clement weather
would be assured.
1t looks like there is cOnsidera BILE method
in his purposes Indications are that the
questions to concern West Virginia chiefly
in the near future will require such infor-
nation as the new governor wants. For
example. there is a tendency to abolish
four OF the six normal schools and con-
mont and one at Huntington. That move
has been fought off successfully when pro-
posed in the White and Dawson regimes
but it will come up again.
There has neve" been a clear under
standing of why the legislature appointed
a special Investigating committee to look
over the state institutions and report
There is no breath of scandal, of misman-
agement or other things suggesting sC.-
picion. but there seems to be something
in the air which suggests a desire for re-
forms in the way of concentration con-
soidation or otherwise. This question is
perhaps an outcome of the change in the
states fiscal system a few years ago. In
other words, there Is need of applying the
revenues eked out from taxation reform
to the best possible advantage.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
WHEELING, W. Va, December 10.
The people Of West Virginia are inclined
to expect a highly satisfactory admins
tration from William E. Glasscock as their
states chief executive. They are pleased
with the way he is touring the state with
a view to acquainting himself with the
institutions and their needs. as we'll as
to familiarize himself with the people and
conditions generally.
Although he will not go into Office until
March 4. Gasscock has been endeavoring
to post himself since the day he was elect
ed. He keeps patient ear for every
body with a mission and he takes notes
for future tabulation. While in Wheeling
the latter part of the week he explained
that he had never been member of the
legislature. had never been a member Of
any Of the states institutional boards,
and had never figured on being governor
until the moment the republican state
committee took up his name as a COM
promise candidate to solve the Swisher-
Scherr tangle. some six or seven weeks
prior to the election.
AS a resident of Morgantown. the seat
OF the state university and a graduate OF
that institution, GlaSscock is naturally
familiar with that establishments condi-
ton and needs, and he stated to your
correspondent he had previously run
ming knowledge Of the normal schools. but
with the asylums. penitentiary and other
institutions he had no direct touch, and
even had not and has not to this writing
been in some of the towns where they
are located.
Gov. Glasscock wants to be in position
to act intelligently and promptly on legis-
lation and other questions affecting the
welfare of all the state institutions. He
says governor is handicapped in being
forced to rely simply on the reports from
these institutions presented by the boards
in charge AS one instance of the need
of personal contact, the next governor
mentioned the Girls Industrial Home at
Salem, where annex is to be con-
structed. The regents of the school re-
ported in favor of one site. while special
legislative investigating committee re-
ported in favor of another site. Having
looked over the ground himself, Glasscock
says he will not have a minutes besi-
fancy in making his decision when called

TEACHERS ON STRIKE.
Objected to Action Of Board in chanq.
ing School Hours.

Waterloo, Ia, Oct. 6.-Because the
Old fashioned recess period was rein.
stated in the upper grades of the Win
throp public schools, the teachers
ceased work the fore part of the week
and the school is at present without
principal or other instructors, and the
pupils are enjoying a respite from
their books. This is the reason given
by the members of the board for the
temporary cessation in school work
but the teachers are said to attribute
the cause to dissatisfaction with GER
tain facilities about the school rooms.
Early in the week a communities
ton was sent to the board informing
the members that the teachers expect
ed to resign on Oct 2. 1t is said the
board decided to. close the schools
without waiting until that date.
The principal was Prof. H. X. Lock
wood, who came from Cornell col
lego to take up the work. There were
four grade teachers, two of whom re-
side in Winthrop.

MANY G|RLSRECIST[R
ARE SEEKING LAND IN THE OPEN
ING OF THE ROSEBUD
RESERVATION.

Dallas, S. D., Oct. Cover $4,000
registrations for land in the opening
of the Rosebud reservation were
made the first day. Arthur Alexander
of Lena, ILL.,, has the distinction of
being the first person to register His
papers were executed at one minute
past IL o'clock, midnight.
AS was predicted, the streets of Dal-
las are the scene of much excitement.
The day was characterized by the
large number of young ladies who
came here from all parts of the United
States to register for a claim.
The Chicago & Northwestern Rail-
road company was obliged to run sew
eral special trains from Omaha yester
day and to accommodate those w..o
desired to register for a claim in the
new country. Several hundred who
arrived were DESTROYS of leaving on
the early morning trains, and tosob-
viate the necessity of them staying
over, James w. Witten, who has
charge for the United States land
commission, opened the regi tration
Office at IL o'clock midnight The
fact that Dallas is the official head
quarters for the registration will in
duce more people to come here tnan
to any other point. The east line of
the reservation is less than hair
mile from the post office and ale ilv-
cry equipment here is inadequate to
accommodate the visitors. There are
about 100 notary publics at work and
people can be accommodated.
James w. Witten, of the United
States land office said today:
This is the last tract of good ag-
ricultural land to be thrown open to
settlement by the government and 1
predict that the registration will run

Ia GRIPPE is WITH US.
Nearly Everybody in This Section
Has Been Touched.

In common with communities all
over the country, Orangeburg is now
in the grasp Of grip epidemic. There
are few families in the city which
have escaped. In some houses tnere
have been three or four cases at the
same time. All the physicians are
unusually busy in consequence. The
weather conditions have been espec-
ially favorable to the development
and spread of the malady and un-
fortunately, the weather man, can
promise nothing better for some
time to come. OraDgeburg, however,
is not by any means the only COM
munity upon which the epidemic mas
descended. Reports from all parts
of the country, north and SOUTH are
to the effect that la grippe numbers
it's victims by the thousands. The
same report comes from all parts OF
Orangeburg County.
