A Mari cd Contrast Iietwsem Their HOcep.
tIon aud that of Gov. Wilson, who Drew
on the InSane Asylum for His Audience.
Special Dtpateh to he Lntelligaeer.
WESTON, W. Va, Sept. 2S.-Hons. A.
W. Campbell and G. W. Atkinson filed
their appointments here to-day. Their
meeting and greeting was SO unlike
Governor Wilson's, which occurred a
few days back, and which goes to show
IN what esteem the Governor is held in
this section OF the State. Messrs. Camp
bell and Atkinson were greeted upon
the arrival OF the 1910 train by hun
dred voices, while the Governor,
who should have been shown more re.
spect, had no one to meet him but two
Democrats, who marched him to the
residence OF Meigs Bland, on Centre
street. In the afternoon, seeing that
his crowd was not going to amount to
much, DR.. Bland, Superintendent OF the
Asylum, was called upon and sent to the
rcsche some thirty or forty patients,
along with the laundry girls and attend
ants, that could get off.
To-day the crowd OF intelligent citi-
Zens that gathered to hear Messrs. Camp
bell and Atkinson reached nearly 400,
and ii the expressions Of the people after
a speech, especially Of the opposition,
means anything, then these gentlemen
have sowed here to-day that which will
bring forth good fruit in November.
The Democratic campaign chestnut that
the tariff is added TO the cost Of the mr.
ticIe was shown up in all its fallacious-
ness. The sectionalism OF the Mills bill
was also shown. Mr.. Campbell called
attention to the fact that the majority OF
the members Of the Ways and Means
Committee were men who represented
only about 10 per cent. Of tile manufac-
turing industries OF this country, and
that they would not give audience to
men whose interests would be affected
by the bill. Atkinson and Campbell
started for Braxton Court House. Some
OF the good people Of the interior will
now have Il chance TO hear gentlemen
who know something about the great
questions OF the day.
The man with the Vampire combina-
ton arrived here this evening. He
shows ut Jacksonville, this county, to-
morrow.

TWO LIVES LOST
In Chicago FIre-An Heroic Foreman who

CHICAGO, Sept. 2S.-Two lives were
lost in fire which occurred this morn

street. 1t started in the basement and
quickly mounted up the elevator shaft
and the back stairway, fed by the in
hamable materials in the structure.
About eighty persons were employed in
the building, and many Of them had
narrow escapes with their lives. Two
OF them escaped from the fourth floor
by swinging themselves of upon tele-
phone wires. One OF them slid to u
place OF safety, cutting his hands badly,
and the other was rescued from his per-
ilous position by the tiremen.
Eighteen men and boys were employ
ed on the fifth floor. They were penned
in, escapes being cut off by the only
stairway, which was on fire. Sixteen Of
them managed to get upon the roof
through the scuttle, several Of them Sc.
verely burned, but William Cook, the
foreman, who remained behind to see
them all out, and q boy known only by
the name OF Pete, were overcome by
smoke and flames and were burned to
death. The financial loss is about
Sl50,000,

Is IT TASCOTT?
Arrest ofthe Supposed SIurderer-A Niyc-
terIOus Detective.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 2s.-The Poa-DispateI'
has specials from Denver, Col, giving
the following details of the arrest of the
man supposed to be Tascott, the MUIR
derer Of Millionaire Smell: Late last
night man giving his name as Edward
]. Carter, answering in many respects
the description OF Tascott, the murderer
Of Millionaire Smell, of Chicago, was ar
rested and placed In the Denver Jail on
suspicion. He had been employed in
Denver house US bartender for two
weeks. The arrest was made quietly
and the cause not yet told the prisoner.
A bullet wound or scar was found on the
mans leg, according to the description
in the circulars sent out by the Chief of
Police OF Chicago, offering $4,000 re-
ward for Tascott's capture, with the ex-
ception that it was a triae lower down
on the leg, as were also the sears on the
elbow. He has front tooth with gold
filling. His profile and features answer
the description OF Tascott.
The cause OF the arrest was by orders
OF man whose name is unknown ut
present, who has followed Carter for sew
eral months through Oregon, Washing
ton Territory, California aud Nevada,
keeping him constantly in sight and
waiting for favorable chance to
cause his arrest. He arrived in the city
on the same train with Carter and never
took his eyes of him until he was posi-
tive that he had taken permanent posi-
ton at the wine house, and even then
he hesitated so MS to make sure that
there would be no mistake.
When Carters identity was cstab-
lished 10 the man.hnnter's satisfaction,

The arrest was made before Carter had

rascott, or before any possible Suspi- |
'ions could enter hls mind thathis iden-
ity was discovered.
The police this afternoon released Car
er on the ground that his resemblance
o Tascott is not sufficiently strong to
lold the prisoner. Carter has very |

THE YELLOW FEVER.
More Encouraging Reports-Ths Official
BullOtIn.

IEulIOtIn.
JACKSONVILLE, FLA, Sept. 2S.-A
marked reduction in the number OF new
cases and deaths to-day seems to justify
the hope Of our people that the worst OF
the epidemic is over, and that the situa-
ton will gradually, ii not rapidly, i'm
prove. Eighty-fve cases were reported
to-day, of which 20 were white and so
colored; five deaths; total cases to date
2,453: deaths 242.
DR.. l. Reddy, OF Louisville, who was
one OF the first of the heroic physicians
who responded to the call for medical
aid, sank down at his post to-day.
Mr.. Eddy was G2 years OF age, and had
worked energetically during tue epi-
demic. Three new cases are Mt Nc.
Clenny, two white and one colorcd, and
one death, F. o. Miller, cigar manufac-
turer. No new cases or suspects at
Gainesville to-day. 1t is believed now
that there is no yellow fever in Florida,
except at Jacksonville, Fernandina, Nc.
Clenny, SandersOn, Gainesville, Tampa
and Manatee, except perhaps sporadic
cases near the places named. Asplendid
orange crop is ripening, and there can
be no danger in sending it to the mar
ket in fumigated cars.

DEsMorSEs, Ia, Sept. 2s.-Judge
Given, Of the District Court, struck an
other blow at the liquor sellers OF Iowa
yesterday. The prohibitory law has
been evadCd in many counties by sellers
who have claimed to be agents Of Chi.
cago men and to be selling liquors in
the original packages, and several caseE
against such dealers are in the courts.
Judge Given, whose almost uniform cor
rectness in questions Of law gives his
opinion great weight, decided in such
cases thai the right to bring liquors into
the State does not carry to sell indis'
Criminately.

eral wealth in which all people share.
The great problem OF our civilization is
how to better distribute wealth, TO de.
wise some way or means by which the
people should more largely share in the
wealth that they create.
THE MOST PRACTICAL METHOD
Of the better distribution Of wealth in
the United States is through the chan
nels Of higher wages. Everything
should be bent in the direction OF main
tanning and increasing wages and allow.
ing the wOgc.earners to get more of what
he produces. Thus far, protection has
contributed to this end. Lowering
wages in order to create larger markets
and insure cheaper products dwarfs and
dcgrades man, Higher wages means
larger ability to purchase, and larger
abilityto purchase means increased con-
sumption, aud increased consumption
creates demand for more products, which
in turn givOs more employment"

CHICAGO, Sept. 2s.-Shortly after the

was alleged to have been using money
freely on change in making good his
shortages Of cash September wheat.

asserted had cost him not only
everycent Of his own, but also
n considerable. amount belong
ing to the bank. Officers OF the bank
declined at first TO either affirm or deny
the reports. The troubles OF the bank
in connection with the wheat corner
last year attempted by Harper, the
wrecker OF the Fidelity bank, were
recalled and formed the subject OF
much talk. Late tonight the Presi-
dent OF the bank authorized the
statement that there had been defalca-
tion, but that it would not exceed
5000. The amount would be made
good tomorrow by the culprit's friends.
The President refused 10 give the name
OF the offender.
