JAMES BURNETT, OF BOOTHS
WILLIE, COMMITTED SUICIDE "a
YESTERDAY. ,l

James Burnett, OF Boothsyille, aged
.thirty.ave years, committed suicide
yesterday by hanging himself to q
tree about one mile from his home.
He left his home yesterday morning
and when he did not return for dinner
the family became alarmed and made
a search for him. His body was dis.
covered about three o'clock In the az
ternoon suspended about three feet
from the ground. For some time the
deceased had been in a state Of de.
spondency and had several times
threatened to take his life. It was
these statements that caused the fam.
lily to be alarmed at his failure to re.
turn at the usual hour for him to be
at home. His father took mis- life in
the same manner twelve years. ago !
There is no reason given why the
man should have died by his own
hand. His home surroundings were
cheerful and there was no influence
other than that to make him happy.
He was married abouttone year ago,
Coroner Musgrave investigated the
death. Burnett leaves a wife and
mother.

we're present at the big Board of

greater unanimity Of purpose display
ed than was evident at the meeting
last night The spirit Of progress and
advancement was inspiring. Not a
croaker or knocker dared lift his
voice Everybody was a booster and
everybody was interested in the city's
forward movement. II seems tosus it
would 3be wise to have frequent meet
ings Of the representative citizens in
tile interst OF the advancement Of the
towns interest. The people can work
better together as they become ac'
quainted with each other.
AS much Of the success Of last
nights meeting can be attributed to
the vim, push, energy and enthusiasm
of our wide awake secretary, Mr.. An,
thony Bowen, we desire to congratu-
late him on what he has thus far ac-
complished and pledge our support in
every manner possible for the contin-
aation Of the good work. Fairmont is
coming and coming fast, let us be
ready to bid 1t a warm welcome when

No Ball
~. z nslii,t y . II . !
WILL BE epvENs BY SENIORS OF
THE, UNIVERSITY THIS
YEAR.

.MoRGANToWN, April 15.-There
will be no university commencement
ball this year,, at least. under the aur
suices Of the. senior class. This action
was taken at a 'neeting of members
Of the class of 1910 Just held in
Commencement hall. This feature
of commencement week has, until
last year, been held under the aus
plces of the military department,
but the class Of 'O9 decided to take
hold of the affair and that future
classes should follow their example.
Some of the members Of this class
stated that the seniors who were
leaving the university should have a
chance to be hosts and hostesses for
the final social affairs Of their uni
versity careers. This ball last year
was very poorly attended and this
was the reason advanced by those OPP
posing the present senior class taking
hold of the ball. 1t is probable. how
ever, that the military department
will take charge of the ball as in for
mer years.
Officers Of the class day exercises
we're elected as follows:
Glass orator, John G. Evans; Ivy
oratory, A. A. Torrance; Reader Of
Ivy Oath, Miss Daisy Prichard;.
farewell address. Charles Louchery.
Captain Harry Eaton was elected to
represent the class at the Alumni
banquet.

DON JOSE De MONK COMING.
He Is a Wonderful Man.Iike Ape With
Eorenauah.seIIs Circus. a


Don Jdse de Monk is coming to Fair.
mont on Thursday, May 9Th, with the
Great Adam Forepaugh and Sells
Bros Big United Shows. He Is only
an ape, but he is built to so closely
conform with the image of man that
when it comes to a nose, but accord
ing to the laws Of compensation, he
has the bullying brow Of a scholar.
This great circus has wonderful
menagerie. Don Jose is an example.
There are giraffes, kangaroos, rhinoc'
eros and hippopotamus specimens OF
the highest order, wart hogs, guns,
yaks, zebus, ibexes, Wax vaarks. pc.
carries, tapirs, ant-eaters, porcupines,
nylghaus, horned horses, emus, re.
bras. zebroids, sacred oxen, curious
cattle, water buffalo, camels, drome-
DIARIES, elephants, llamas and every
phase of the deer, bear, monkey and
cat tribes.
An interesting feature of the men
agerie is the nursery. Here the ami
NAL babies are quartered. This is es-
peclally attractive to the children. In
1t are many tiny and curious crea-
lures, nesting close up to their proud
mothers.
The management has introduced q
feature heretofore unknown. to travel
ing ZOOS in the shape Of uniformed
lecturers. They conduct all visitors
through the many aisleways among
the pens, cages and lairs, explaining
many wonderful facts concerning ami:
NAL life and giving practical demon
strations with the assistance OF a
corps OF animals trainers. AS a gen
eral thing strangers are backward
about asking questions when visiting
the common run of shows, for fear Of
offensive replies. With this show 1t
is pleasure for attendants to oblige
the public.
How much more attractive a men,
agerie becomes when there are oblig-
ing guards at hand to impart odd
knowledge they have gathered during
long experience as keepers and train
ers. Here are some Of the things
visitors will learn when the show
comes to Fairmont. A giraffe can go
longer than a camel without food and
water. 1t has no vocal organs and
can utter no sound. A hippopotamus
exudes blood from its pores when an
cry. An elephant does not smell with
its trunk. There are two distinct
feathers on every quill in the emu's
back. The South African wart hog,
or WAX vaark, has warts on its nose
only when provisions arc plentiful.
When hard times come, the warts dis!
appear. The height Of an elephant
can be computed by measuring around
its foot close to the ground.
This is the only circus in America
that takes any special care of its pa
irons. Everything is done for the COM
fort OF visitors to the Forepaugh and
Sells Bros. shows. Efforts are made
to supply them with information that
viii add to their enjoyment.

A FACT USUALLY OVERLOOKED

Professional politicians and their
adh rents who would like 10 go back
to the good old days OF conventions
and mass meetings and who. there.
fore. are forever doing their best TO
discred.t and prevent the PERFECTION
of the primary system. Ind their
strongest weapon in the popular be-
lief tha; the primary system makes
candidacy for nomination enormously
more costly than the old plan. In THIS
connection the Petersburg Index
Appeal calls attention 10 fact that
usually is overlooked.
The chief ground Of opposition to
the primary system IS the expense
attac hed TO campaign for the NOM
nation to office. II should be borne
in mind that under the convention
system there was no publicity as re-
CARDS the expense involved In the
campaign to secure delegates 10 the
nominating convention. Almost coin
cidental with-the adoption OF the rri-
mary plan in Virginia came the enact
ment OF the law requiring candidates
70 Dublish an itemized statement OF
their expenses. These publications
always are features of the news
growing out Of the results OF primary
contests and attract attention and
excite discussion.
The Index-Appeal goes on to say
that an experienced political worker
who has made a number Of successful
candidates for office, is authority for
the statement that II is very doubtful
whether there is more expense at
tachsi to contest for nomination
under the primary plan than was in
VOWED in securing the prize under
the old convention system.
This paper is delighted to read
from the pen of the new editor of the
Index-Appeal. Hold on TO the pri'
mary. Cure its defects
