war;" and the little group that gathered at
the place of meeting was one of gray
headed men, with bent forms and furrowed
foreheads, for 1t has been forty-tive years
since General Scott's army was mustered
out of service.
Owing to q Misunderstanding regarding
place and time, the crowd was not large
enough for organization. but the veterans
engaged in q rather warm discussion of the
monument date question. several express
ing q desire to meet General Manson. who
is president of the association, ss well as
member OF the monument commission. The
gathering warmly seconded the protest OF
an excited cOmrade who denounced the
false Impressions prevalent regarding the
Mexican war. He declared that tho MeXi-
can soldiers endured hardships, the like of
which the recruits of the late war knew
nothing, often hauling as they did their
cannons through the mountain sleeps or
the deep sands under o burning sky. with
no water for hours at q time. eating bis

In fact during his regime there was
practically no attempt TO suppress such
; violations Of the law, and they and
kindred forms Of crime and vice were
permitted to flourish openly. When
BENNETT went out of Office there was
an Improvement, but we never have
had so satisfactory an administration OF
the department as during the past year
under Chief ROBERT McNIcHoL. He
has been faithful, honest and intelli-
gent in the performance OF his difficult
duty. and has surrounded himself
with fine and well disciplined force,
which we do not want to see supDlanted
by the "heeers" of BENNETT.
The administrations Of the two are no
more to be compared than good and
bad, and If the decision rested solely
with decent, law-abiding and intelligent
voters irrespective of party, there
would be no doubt Of Mr.. McNIcHoL's
election by handsome majority. But,
unfortunately, there is another element
in the community that has great voting
power and Mr.. BENNETT and his heelerI
are making the fight Of their lives TO.
get control OF the police Department.
They have left no stone unturned and
DO method unemployed 10 win the
election, levying upon the law BREAKERS
and sacrificing almost everything to
gain control Of that bra-.ch of the city
government through which the laws
are enforced. Chief McNIcHoL has
made no such campaign and in conse-
Quence depends upon the decent citizens
OF Wheeling to re-elect him and save
the city from the disgrace which must
Surely follow his defeat.
Work and vote for MCNIoHoL early
and late to-day.

The CaIEF OF POLICE.

The people of Wheeling have had an
opportunity to compare the records of
Chief MCNICHoL and ex-Chief BEN
NETT in the police department, the lat
ter having served two terms, and the
former a year.
tt is only the very young voter who
does not plainly recall the state OF the
police department during Mr.. BEN
NErT'S incumbency, and we need not 20

ment. when Chief BENNETT could

1t is popularity supposed that few men
like Gould, Vanderbilt and Astor repre-

This is great mistake. There are thou
sands upon thousands Of millionaires, men
so rich that they candot possibly spend the
interest upon tbc% vast accumulstions.
Evtry ci+N every town, every community
has them; il is they who represent the
wealth of our country, on account Of their
numbers
Now If so many men succeed, what is the
true secret OF that SUGGEST
Two words answer-energy and health.
Any man Of indomitable energy and per-
severence who is well can succeed.
All, there is the rub-lpho is yell.
Men have the energy aud ability to sue
coed, but they do not possess the requisite
health-that strength Of the nerves, vigor
Of the mind and endurance and tirelessness
which alone make men succeed.
They feel languid, even weak at times
and lack snap and ambition; they know
they have the necessary ability, but their
energies need rousing. In some cases the
stomach, liver and bowels are at fault, or
possibly the kidneys are out OF order. Nine
times out of ten, however, IL is lack OF nerve
strength, nerve vigor, and nerve power.
Numberless men who have ample vigor at
first break down in health from the exces-
sive strain upon their nervous and physical
systems, as did the well-known 5. w.
Esq, of Hudson, Mass. He strikes
the KEY note of the difficulty, and his ad-
vice, if followed, will put men on the sure
road to wealth.

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. January 25.-There

barrass that gentleman. The scheme con-
templates getting out the present poStmas-

Democratic influence and thus perhaps

The engineer Of the scheme seems to be
Miss Simpson, editress of the State Gazette,
Of Point Pleasant, very aggressive sheet.
Miss Simpson has been here trying 10
carry her plan through, but she did not get
much encouragement either from members
Of Congress or at the post office depart
ment. She wants her mother given the
Point Pleasant post Office and in order to
get Postmaster Whaley out the Repuoll-
cans who were on that gentleman's bonds
were induced to withdraw and they notl-
fed the post Office department TO thai
effect. The department sent an inspector
TO Point Pleasant TO take charge OF the
of1cs and his report is now awaited.
Postmaster General Wanamaker says ne
does not believe in this sort of business and
will do Lothing to help it along. Miss
Simpson claims that her mother is Dem
scrSt and has Democratic influence behind
her, and if she can get her appointed post
mistress now she will be able 10 hold on TO
the place. One of the West Virginia men,
bers, whose help she sought, told
the Point Pleasant editress that he
could not interfere as it was the custom to
allow q member TO control absolutely the
appointment OF the postmaster in the town
where he resides. The attempt TO get
Postmaster Wbaley out is stirring up row
among the Republicans of Mason county

HER SIN FOUND HER OUT.
A Beautiful Young School Mistress Dies In
New York from a Criminal Operation.


NEW YORK, January 25.-On one of the
cots in the Woman's ward at Bellevue Hos
| pital last night, lay beautiful young Wo-
man suffering from peritonis
AS she tossed from side TO sfde with pain,
her mental suffering at the knowledge that
she can no longer keep her shame a secret
amounts almost TO anguish.
The Young woman was said to be Miss
| Margaret Foster, OF Altoona. Pa
She is a school teacher thirty years old.
and is said to be prominent socially, and to
belong to one OF the most aristocgatic fam
lilies in the section of the State in which
she lives.
That she is woman of superior education
and reared amid cultured and refined sur
roundings is evident.
She came TO New York last Wednesday
and wen: ~ the house OF DR.. Elsie Ian
dau, No. 10 East Forty-ff5h street. GSz1
sue told DIR. Landau that she wanted
room during an Illness with she was threat
tened.
Yesterday her condition was such that
DR.. Coakley, OF No. 126 East Fortv-hfth
street, was called TO attend her. He re-
fused to take the case and advised the i'm
mediate removal Of the patient 10 hospl-
tai.
Doctress Landau denied this morning,
when | saw her, having done anything
against the law in connection with the
case.
The young woman. it is said, told Police
man Kelly, OF the Grand Central Depot
substation, that she had been compelled to
stop in her journey on the way to this city
owing TO childbirth and that she came on
here afJerward.
The police have had conflicting state
ments regarding the case, and il is evident
that they did not believe. this statement Of
the young woman.
REFUSES TO TILL HIS NAME.
Before she was removed to Bellevue
Hospital last night the police tried very
! hard to get her 10 give the name OF the man
who is responsible for her present unfortu-
| pate condition. This she positively refused
to do.
Captain Berghold and one Of his detec-
! tiyes are making a careful investigation OF
the case
The police have an intimation that q
clergyman prominent in Altoona ID CON
nected with the matter in an unenViaole
way.
This morning she died as a result Of the
criminal operation.
The body was positively identified this
morning as that of Margaret Foster Cress
well, OF Homersourg, Pa, by Lawyers
Woodcock and Bell, who came here from
Blair county, Pa, to investigate. They
say the mother Of the dead girl has beer
led TO believe her death was due TO diph
