Homecoming Week.

The plans for the homecoming week
for Shepherdstown, which have been in
augurated under the auspices of the Vii
lage Improvement Society, are progress
ing, and this week many hundreds of let
ters will be sent to former residents Of
this section who now live in distant
places, asking their cooperation in the
movement. Already list of five or six
hundred names has been secured, and it
is desired that this shall be enlarged until
the committee can get into communication
with at least a thousand persons who are
interested in Shepherdstown.
A committee has been appointed TO get
a full list of former residents and OTHER
friends. This committee is composed of
H. L. Snyder, chairman, Geo. P. UnSeld,
Misses Louise WelShans, Margaret Potts,
Mary PendIeton, Lenora Marten, Alice
Billmyer, Elisabeth Sp ohm, Rose Snyder
and Elizabeth Banks Members of this
committee will make canvass OF the
town next Monday to secure the names
and addresses OF persons 10 be invited
here for home coming, and that their
labors may be lightened, they ask that
every family have ready by Nor day a
written list which may be added to those
already recorded. Persons living outside
OF town are also earnestly urged TO make
out lists of relatives and friends away
from here and hand or send them to any
of the above named members OF the COM
mittee. A hearty cooperation OF our
people generally will mean certain sue
cess OF the project, for already much in
tereSt is manifested both at home and
abroad.
Old ShepherdStowners and Jefferson
county folks living sway from home are
invited TO interest themselves in our cele-
bration, and all who intend to come back
and join in the reunion are requested to
send their names to any OF the members
OF the committee, as a record will be kept
of all who mean to be here in September.
The list has already been started, and the
promoters wish to see it grow rapidly.
The time for the reunion has been def
initely fixed for September Isl TO 9Th, in
elusive. This will take in the Morgan'S
Grove fair, which is of itself sort Of
homecoming time. II is hoped to ar
range series of very enjoyable enter
tainmentS for the public during the week,
including addresses, receptions, musical
entertainments, etc. We think that this
will be one of ShepherdStown's most en-
ioyabe eyentS-we know that it will be
so If everybody helps.

Shepherd College commencement.

The commencement exercises OF Shep-
herd College State Normal School were
held last Friday morning in the auditori-
um, in the presence of large and atten-
tive audience. The old custom OF having
the graduates deliver essays or orations
on this occasion now having been dis
pensed with, an address 10 the graduates
by DR.. Waitman Barbe, of the West Viz
ginia University, was the chief feature Of
the exercises. DR.. Barbe's subject was,
"West Virginia in the Making" and his
address was most excellent one, opti-
miStic in its tone and inspiring in its
thought. He advocated intellectual and
spiritual advancement along with the Won
derful material progress of our State, and
urged the development ofthe better quail
ties of mind and heart as more important
than commercial success.
The diplomas were presented TO the
twenty one members of the graduating
class by Hon. M. c. Tough, member OF
the State Board OF Regents, in an appro-
pirate address, in which he congratulated
the young ladies and gentlemen upon hav-
ing reached this point in their school lit
and gave them some wise advice as to
their future work. The members OF the
graduating class were David Roliin Dodd,
Evard Lynn Magruder. Agnes Gibson
Reinhart, Clyde M. Williams, Ruth Ely
son Byerly, Carroll Davis Billmyer,
Charles w. Crowell, Ira Moser Derr, Maui
rice Ropp Dodd, Anna L. HauSe, Richard
Hodges, Pearl McCaffry, Evelyn B. Nc
Donald, w. V. McNemar, Alice Marten.
Annie Louise Miller, Wilson Porterfield
Sperow, Nelly R. Staley, Harry J. Stuck
ey, Mary Louise Taylor, Alfredo Pearl
Wilt. There were also three graduates
in music, Miss Dora Vivian Sperow, Miss
Mary Virginia Link and Miss Mary Bruce
GrubbS, who also received diplomas.
One of the features OF the programme
that was of most absorbing interest was
the award of the several medals that had
been offered. The entire audience, and
the students particularly, were anxious 10
know the winners, and when Prof. Mil
Ter, principal Of the school, announced
that the awards would be made, every
body was in a high state OF expectancy.
The medal for the best all-'round student
was given to o. w. Snarr, of Hardy coun-
ty, and when Prof. Miller called him to
the stage and pinned the medal on his
lapel there was prolonged applause. Her
bert M. Harr, Of Tucker county, received
the medal offered by DR.. Hugh n. Lea
veil, of Louisville, KY, for the best STU
dent in chemistry, Prof. Fortney perform
ing the presentation honors. Leo Smith
OF ShepherdStown, received the we'll
earned honor OF a gold medal as the best
drilled cadet having made 4 fine record
all through the year as member OF the
corps. TO Miss Kathryne Beltzhoover
was awarded the medal offered by Miss
Barnes, OF the music department, for the
pupil making most progress in music,
Prof. Barbe making the presentation.
That the awards were justly made was
amply shown by the applause OF the au-
dience. AT the conclusion of the eXer-
cises, the graduates were the recipients
of congratulations by their friends and
were presented with quantities OF beauti-
full flowers and many presents.

The exercises OF the Alumni Association
Thursday night were more than usually
interesting. The evening was rainy, but
many of the old students braved the ele-
mentS and attended the exercises in the
auditorium and later sat down totfe ban
uuet in the town hall. Mr. w. J. Knots
president ofthe association, was in charge
of the programme. In the auditorium the
first part OF the exercises was held. After
excellent music by the orchestra and
prayer by Rev. c. S. Stanton, Miss Bessie
Lickider read cleverly prepared history
OF the class of 1897. Rev. John Edwards,
pastor of a Methodist Church near Baltl-
more and member of the class Of 1892,
made the Grafton OF the evening. II was
most helpful and inspiring address, well
prepared and delivered with forceful
earnestnesS, and the speaker held the
closest attention OF the audience. Miss
Alice Billmyer, representing the Alumni
Association, presented to the school a
very handsome portrait OF the late Prof.
]. G. Knutti painted by Washington
artist and given TO the school by the alum
nj. The picture was hung in the main
hall, alongside that OF Prof. Joseph Nc
Murran, the first principal OF the inStltu-
ton.
AT the conclusion of the exercises in
the hall, the members Of the Alumni As
ISOLATION and their guests adjourned to
the town hall, where President Knott, as
sisted by Mrs. Gardiner, OF the faculty,
properly initiated the graduating class in
TO the ranks, a performance that was very
entertaining to the spectators.
The banquet hall was then thrown
open, and ninety -one persons sat down
to the prettily decorated tables and were
served with a delicious repaSt When
full appreciation had been done to the
very excellent meal, President Knott, as
POSTMASTER, again took charge OF the pro-
ceedings, and by his original and inter
eSting introductlonS started the oratorial
ball rolling. Prof. Thos. c. Miller re-
sponded to the toast, shepherd College
of the Future, ;, and painted a glowing
word picture of what the school may be ;
Mr.. H. M. Turner made a witty response
when he was called upon; Prof. Walter
M. Duke responded TO the toast, "lnvisi-
BILE Links" which was poetic prose, the
thought being noble and elevating and
expressed in very beautiful language H..
L. Snyder made fittingresponse when his
turn came; and then impromptu speeches
of a very entertaining character were
made by DR.. Waitman Barbe, OF the Uni
versity, and Rev. Frank Mcdaniel, OF
Lakewood, N. J. The festivities closed
with everybodypleased with The evenings
entertainment and all felt obligated TORRES
ident Knott for the very successful manner
in which he had managed the alumn's al
fairs this year.

Association for the ensuing year were

To Bridge the Shenandoah.


The Charles Town Advocate says that
subscription papers are being circulated
to secure capital for the construction OF a
bridge over the Shenandoah river. II is
proposed TO fix the par value OF the
shares at $40 each, in order to accommodate
investors oflimited means. Already con-
siderable stock has been subscribed. No
definite limit has been announced as to
the amount necessary for the improve
ment, although it is tentatively estimated
at $4,000 to $4,000. The promoters
claim solid merit for the project, and are
soliciting subscriptions 10 fhe stock with
the argument that bridge properly To-
Gated will be a paying enterprise. A fac
tor of much promise OF patronage for a
bridge is the prospective timber devel-
ope nent on the east side OF the river.
That section OF the country has about
thirty square miles OF timber land, the
greater portion of which has never been
touched because OF the difficulty oftrans-
porting timber products TO the railroads.
MeSsrs. J. E. Burns, E. E. Cooke and
Capt. H. c. Getzendanner have the sub
scription papers, and persons interested
may have their names placed on the list
by making application TO any OF them.
Henry P. Bridges, secretary OF the State
Game and Fish Commission OF Maryland,
says that it is unlawful TO use fishpots or
outlines in the Potomac river or its tribu-
taries in Maryland. As arecent decision OF
the United States Supreme Court gives
Maryland jurisdiction over the Potomac
to low water mark on the Virginia shore,
this settles the matter so far as this river
is concerned. Alas, well never get an
other mess OF eelS !

NEW @. R. & N. TIME
CARD OUT SUNDAY

There will be a change in the time
on the o. h. q NJ, Sunday and the
definite announcements of th e new
schedule have not been received by
local agent j. II Fredricy as yet An
important change in time and route be-
tween Portland and Spokane will apply
to the Spokane Portland train. This
train, which now leaves Portland at Z
p. m. and goes through to Spokane by
the Pleasant Valley branch Of the
Washington division, beginning next
Sunday will leave Portland at II p. m.
and run via Colfax. This will put the
train into Spokane at 80 p. m. This
will give Hood River the advantage Of
having a late train out of Portland
which, if continued through the winter,
will give local people an opportunity to
attend the theater in the metropolis
and return home the same evening. II
the present running time is maintained
the train will reach here about a. m.
Returning the train will come via Col
fax also and arrive in Portland at ii 80
a. m. instead of 8 a. m. as at present.
This scheme will give Hood River a
late train into Portland in the morning
leaving here about o'clock.
The new schedule will give Portland
a direct train to and from the Palouse
district. East and west bound the
train will make the same running time
to st. Paul as at present.
The through Lewiston sleeper, which
heretofore has been carried on the 500
train, beginning Sunday, will be at
tached to the train passing Hood River
for Spokane at 8 p. m. The Walla
Walla sleeper will be attached to the
Soo-Spokane train. Both the Walla
Walla and Lewiston Pullmans will go
west through Hood River at 5 30 a. m.
ON train No. 3. slight change in the
schedule of the Baker City local is also
announced for next Sunday. This train
will leave Portland at n. m. instead
of 40 a. m. as at present, but the
running time will be reduced 20 min
utes, making arrival at Baker City the
same as at present. II is probable that
this train which now reaches Hood
River at 10 80 will arrive here about
15 minutes later, although no definite
announcement is yet out

coming here from Spokane. He has
been engaged in the life insurance bus
mess and that will be the end of the
business which he will look after par
ticularly for the new firm. Mr.. Had
lock has brought his family here and
asst week he bought the four acre place
of o. H. Baker just out of town, pay
ing S., 500. He expects to make his
home here.

CLYDE 0. Richards Dies.

Clyde o. Richards, a resident of the
Middle Valley, and connected with the
Mt. Hood Milling company, died Fri
day of appendicitis after a brief i'll
ness. He was taken i'll just one week
before his death and was brought to
the hospital in this city. His condition
became very serious on Thursday and
an operation was performed, but it
was too late for relief, as the surgeons
found the appendix arleady perforated
and Mr.. Richards did not recover.
Mr.. Richards, who was born in Port
land 80 years ago, had many friends in
the Hood River valley where he has
lived for the past four years and the
death of the comparatively young man
is greatly regretted. His wife, who
was Miss Frances Sarah Monk, and
son, Kenneth, survive him, as well as
a mother and four sisters. One of his
sisters, Mrs. C. j. Calkins, is resi-
dent of this city; The funeral was
largely attended here Sunday after

Played Them Both Ways.

The French comedian Perlet was ex
traordlnarily thin. A physician recon
mended him TO try some bath in the
Pyrenees, so he betook himself to the
mineral springs, where he bathed un
remittingly, but all In vain; he did not
increase In size Patience" urged the
doctor. "There Is nothing like our
baths for making people fat" One
day while Perlet was waiting philo'
sophlcally In his bath for an embon-
point which never came he heard q
conversation in the next room, from
which his own was divided by only a
thin partition and which was occu.
pied by an enormous woman, fat as the
Hottentot Venus. Doctor" said she,
II am getting tired Of this" "WhyT
asked the Aesculapius II have been
here two months" "WellT "Well,
am as enormous as ! was when |
came" "A little patience, madame" +"
urged the doctor There Is nothing
like our baths for making people thin"
Perlet, hearing these words, sprang out
of his bath, dressed, rushed home to
his hotel, ordered his bill and left for
Paris by the next train. .-Argonaut.

WILSON WANTS TWENTY ACRES.

A twenty acre farm in the North
west is the ideal place to live and
work according to Jasper Wilson, who
recently visited the Hood River valley
with his father, James Wilson, Secre-
tary of Agriculture. Young Mr..
Wilson, who acts as private secretary
to his father, the boss farmer Of the
United States, has announced that
when he is through in Washington
he will locate on a small fruit farm in
the Pacific Northwest. 1t is rather
probable that Hood River may be the
place selected by the young man for a
home as his announcement was made
lust after his visit to Hood River,
That man of Jasper Wilson's oppor-
trnities should turn to the SOIL with
his distinguished father SO placed as to
give him every professional opportun-
ity must demand thought. Our peo-
pie are clearly turning to the farm
again. Men of the most profound
research find the farm yields so much,
and affords so many avenues of in
dependent comfort, and effort that
they leave the hot streets Of stone floor
and walls, for the open air and mellow
soil of the country.
In the general rural compliment de-
duced from young Wilson's purpose, it
is not amiss to right the Northwest's
plume. A son of the farmer Of all
farmers believes destiny most fecund
here. With his fathers guiding
thought, he must have measured corn,
cotton, wheat and all cereals, livestock
and Eastern fruit prospects. After a
survey of national resources, the
Northwest has been selected. North
west fruit prospects are greatest in
the eyes Of those most competent to
Judge. With this drift Of the greatest
agricultural students of the day, and
Oregon fruits surprising all records,
the state can smile benignantly when
it is charged that fruit development
campaigns are misleading.
