Dillon, Wheat & Handier Co. P8«.'F. L. LEVITT. Maurer. A villJEN 1 At Morgantown Criticises the Action of the Kegents in Establishing a Dispen To the Editor o? the Register. Morgantown. W. Ya., September 12. The following order was passed by the Board cf Regents last June: "Dr. J. \Y. Hartigan and Capt. C. C. Hewitt appeared before the Board and <;.ive information and reasons for estab lishing a Dispensary in the basement of one of the buildings for the purpose of giving immediate attention to the rtuii nts in case of accidents and in or der to have a place where physical ex aminations of cadets may be given. "This* matter was then considered and it was ordered that a fee of 50 cents per term be collected from each student by the treasurer of the University for the •support of such dispensary; and that a room be painted and papered in the j basement of one of the University buiid I ings to be used by Dr. Hartigan for the purpose of giving immediate attention I to students who may need it.” For this fee D;. Hartigan is to ren der free medical attendance and attention for all students who desire his medical services whenever needed. It appears I 'hat it was passed upon the recommen i dation of two men. None of the sm dents were aware of its existence till | they were confronted at the treasurer’s j desi; with the deman 1 for fifty cpn;s pnr | term for dispensary fee. Many students ! sought: their favorite professors and in | quired their reason for allowing the j Board of Regents *o require such an | amount at our hands during these hard times when many boys can almost come to college and yet fail, and when in such : a healthful location sickness does not I molest us much, and in case of such a thine as fever or accidents other phy sicians than Dr. Karigan are sought, ’.'he reply has unanimously been. "I knew nothing of it till I saw the print I ed slips issued by the President.” I Should our attendance reach nearly five i hundred, as we hope and believe i* will, |th° student body will be compelled to pay -.-ven hundred and fifty dollars for , the establishment of a dispensary. Os ' tensibly. Dr. Hartigan renders "medical att> mlance and attention” free, but even 'though we do pay fifty cents per term I for pills, we are not deprived of the privilege of s curing another physician, j Many boys fear that should they seek ! Vv Doctor’s services too often he may | control them to take quinine without | putting it in capsuls, and it won’t be I good. The “co-eds” declare that all i “nasty medicine” must be "double : sugar coated” or else they will not try j to take fifty cents worth per term. Th< re is a fine bunch of castor beans I on he campus, and it is hoped the ex i p. rln.' nt station will procure the neees sary machinery for making our own oil .n ’ thus giv^ the whole seven hundred ar ! fifty dollars for the establishment sad maintenance of a “dispensary.” All c nee Ie that it will be good for the "uisp asary.” STUDENT. o >1A Kill r.\ COLLKti fc Will Opr 11 To-Day—A l.oort Foot Hall Tram Organized— V Partial Schedule.

Reports Received From a Number of Regular Committees—Labor Day Show3 a Good Profit—Non Union Cigars on the Grounds. The Intelligencer Misquoted Mr. Bodley—Other Proceedings. The regular meeting of the Ohio Val ley Trades Assembly convened at two o'clock yesterday. President Tighe oc cupied the chair. Owing to the extreme ] heat that prevailed the attendance o! delegates was not as large as it other } wise would have been. Roll call and the reading and adop tion of the minutes of last meeting was the first thing in order. Reports were called for from various committees. The Committee on Boycotts made a statement that a number of non-union cigars were still being sold in the city, and that on Labor Day celebration some had even found their way to the grounds on the Island. It was explained that this had occurred by mistake—the party from whom the cigars were purchased being unaware of them being non-union make. Mr. Bodley, from the Committee on New Charter, made a verbal statement that ha had been misquoted in the In telligencer at the last meeting in regard to his position on certain parts of the new charter, and desired to set himself right before the Assembly. Mr. Cline, from the Committee on Labor Journals, stated that their com mittee had waited on the Library Com mittee of the Board of Education, re questing one or two labor journals to be piaced on file in the public library. The Library Committee announced that they would willingly do so, and asked the Assembly to name the journals de sired to be piaced there. The Committee on Labor Day report ed that the clear receipts (after deduct ing allexpenses) would amount to $030. j The Gate Committee request that all outstanding tickets be turned in before the next meeting of the Assembly. From the Legislative Committee it was announced that the trustees of the water works would give Wheeling coal a test of twenty-four hours, the test to be made to-day at the pumping station in the presence of a committee from this Assembly. i lit: Aiuiuai.vti v^uuiuuurr but one c.ise on hand, viz: that of Louis Asmus, in having horseshoeing done by a non-union blacksmith.

A motion was finally made and carried to table Mr. Fisher’s communication. Mr. Riley brought up the subject of the new city charter and offered some reso lutions of instructions t <? the sub-com mittee from the Assembly relative to what was deemed the best changes to be made from the present charter. This matter was discussed at cons’d erable length by a number of delegates. lutkms were adopted.
