The World is informed that the Board
of Control is making arrangements TO
proceed at once with the construction OF
a dormitory at Keyser. II will be remem-
bered that at the last session OF the Leg
islature appropriations were made for
dormitorieS at several State schools,
among which were Keyser and Shep-
herdstown. Now, if the board is unable
for lack of funds, which is alleged, to
build the dormitory at Shepherdstown,
how IS il that there are funds available
for dormitory at Keyser? This is an
important question and will require an
answer. There is no place, no school
in the State, with the possible exception
OF Athens, which needs dormitory as
badly as Shepherdstown. The people
OF this portion of the State feel and know
that the ShepherdStown school does not
get altogether square deal in other re-
spects. They will demand in no uncer-
tain tones that there be square deal in
this particular and il will take more than
promises to appease them.-MartinSburg
World.
ALMOST year ago money was appro-
priated by the Legislature for the erection
of the dormitory at Shepherd College,
but not a lick has yet been struck on the
work, nor, so far as we have heard, has
any consideration been given the project.
Who has authority TO divert money spe-
officially appropriated for a certain pur-
pose and use if in other directions The
growth and the usefulness of Shepherd
College is being seriously handicapped
by the failure of those in authority 10
rave this dormitory erected.

ANOTHER big victory for the temper
ance cause was gained on Tuesday, when
the city of Satunton Va, voted dry by a
majority of 9S in a total vote OF 1889.
A number OF negroes were arrested for
selling their votes TO the liquor men,
while many others who had been spotted
by dry detectives as having yielded TO
bribery failed to cast their votes. The
election was quiet one, but both sides
fought very earnestly. The saloons will
have to close within ninety days. The
Town of Shenandoah, Va, voted dry last
week by one majority, and the saloons
there will also have TO close. Harrison
burg is now the only wet town in the
Valley of Virginia, except Harper's Ferry
and Charles Town, and these two places
will be rid of saloons after the lst OF
next July.

AN AGED MAN IS FOUND DEAD
Andrew Skaar's Remains Recovered
From Kickapoo River

What is doubtless an accidental death
is reported by the Readstown Tribune,
which tells that on Tuesday evening
word was received there that the body
Of Andrew Skasr had been found in the
river at Gays Mills. Mr.. Skaar and
his son John have lived together on
their farm about three miles southwest
of that village, ali other members of
the immediate family having passed
away. Mr.. Skaar vas over seventy
five years of age. and giving no notice,
left the farm Monday while the son
was delivering cream TO the creamery.
He was seen at Soldiers Grove and
Gays Mills later, bot no one saw him
get into the water. 1t is believed to
have been an accident, however, and
neither foul play nor intentional suicide.
A bruise was visible near his eye, and
a short distance above where the body
was found there were indications that
he had gone to the waters edge, pro-
baby for the purpose Of washing the
injury. Footprints were found in the
mud, and it is thought he probably be-
came faint because of the injury or
dizzy from his proximity to the moving
water, and fell in.
The deceased was born in Norway,
ard came to America about = years
ago. Funeral services were held at
Folsom FRIDAY last.
