LONG LEASE FOR DURRANT.
The Execution Can Hardly Take FIace
for Several Months.

San Francisco, Nov. 12.-In view of tht
fact that the Supreme Court, which Is nov
in session at Sacramento, will adjourn OIL
Tuesday next until the second Monday il
January, it is not considered probable TIA
w. II. Durant, the condemned murderel
of Bianch Lamont and Minnie Williams
will expiate the crime for which he was
sentenced to be hanged il December, 1895
during the current year.
In the ordinary course OF events, the
matter cannot come up for hearing upor
the points involved in the order granting
the writ for probable cause, TO which Dur
rant owes his second lease of life, until tie
middle of January. After the case has
been decided, another thirty days must in.
tervene before the remlieur from the Su
preme Court can reach the trial court and
the condemned man be re-sentenced fol
the second time. This course would
not allow the execution to take place be-
fore the latter part Of February or the be-
ginning of March next.
Its possible that the encouragement
may apply to the Supreme court TO ad
vance the case, but this action is unlikely

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER IS, 1897.
REPUBLlCANIsM IN VIRGINIA.

Some of our friends may have thought
we were too severe prior to the recent
election in our criticisms of the Republican
leadership in this State We were satisfied
then as we are satisfied now that the Bow
den Brady Executive Committee was de-
liberately perpetrating an outrage for the
personal benefit of those who lead that
faction. Others held those views but were
not as ready to give public expression to
them.
The results of the election show that we
were not mistaken in our views as to the
purposes of Bowden, Brady & Co. They
did no, wish to see the party win, because
they knew that success for the party meant
the overthrow of their rule. Failure was
what they wanted. Their motive has
been to keep the organization up to such
an extent as to retain possession Of it and
no further. With complete control Of the
State organization they can every four
years carry a delegation from Virginia to
the National Convention and make it the
basis for controlling the Federal patronage
in the State. This is the height Of their
ambition, and depth of their PARTY fealty.
Of course there is no successful future in
store for the party unless leadership can
be secured that is more unselfish and
honorable. With all the States bordering
on our Commonwealth going into the Re-
publican ranks and the doctrines Of the
party becoming more popular each yeal
with the people, there is no reason why
Virginia should not become Republican
with the party united and directed by
proper leaders. Such leaders can only be
secured by Thorough reorganization the
party. To reach that end State conven
ton should be held without delay. The
cali for such q convention should be made
by the leaders of both factions. We tool
this position Immediately afterthe election
and we see that Gen. Walker holds the
same views. In another column we publish
an interview with Gen. Walker which il
full of truth as to the situation.
The people should demand that a con
vention be held, and those leaders who
decline to respond to the wishes Of tht
voters must be driven from power.

THE SHERMAN TWINS.
They We're Adopted by the Wife of the
Secretary of State.


As most of us know, Mr.. and Mrs.
John Sherman were childless. A time
came when, after much consideration and
thought, they decided to adopt child
and heir. Mrs Sherman requested some
of her intimate friends 10 assist her in the
search of a desirable infant, one honestly
and gently born, and without parents to
follow on afterward and embarrass. A
friend in New York subsequently tele-
graphed her to come at once ard take her
choice of two beautiful babies. There
was great excitement in the Sherman
home pending Mrs. sherman's trip TO New
York after the baby. On the next day

AT the recent election there were only
1905 votes cast. in Tazewell county
for the two leading candidates
for governor, of which Tyler received
1896 and McCaull 1910. In 1896 the joint
vote of Mckinley and Bryan amounted to
4IO7, of which Mckinley received 2525
and Bryan 1882. 1t will be seed that there
we're 1441 less votes polled this year than
last and that Tyler received 1S6 votes less
than Bryan got in the county. The stay
at-home vote was as large comparatively
throughout the State. If the Republicans
had been united McCaull would have been
elected.

SOME of our Democratic contemporaries
sill deny that times have improved, when
the mercantile reports give evidence of a
wonderful improvement in trade. 1t is
also fact that the Geographic columns Of
the papers throughout the country are
continually giving notice Of numbers of
men who had been heretofore unemployed
going to work, and Of wages being adj
vanced at many places.

THE blast furnace operators of the Ma

an advance of 10 per cent. in wages of
their employees. About 1900 men will be
benefited and the advance will go into
effect the 1st of December. We hear Tow
of frequent advances in the wages Of work
ingmen. Our Democratic friends, We
suppose, will say this is due to Providence,
and we are not prepared to dispute it

GOOD FOR MENA.

Since the building of the railroad and making of Mena the midway division point, nothing has been done that will rebound so much to the benefit of Mcna and Polk county as the location of sum- mer resort on Mt. Mena by the M. K. & T. Trust Company. Any thing that will bring people to this county, even though they only remain from three to six months during each year, must prove advantageous to the coun- try and espeeiisa lly to Mena, the trading point and center where nearly all supplies must be pro- cured.
 One, two or three thousand peo- pie on Mt Mena from three to six months of each year means that many people to feed and sup- ply with the necessities and not a few luxuries of life, and the farmers and fruit growers of Polk county will have just that much better market for their products and the merchants of Mena will supply many of the goods and ar ticles of merchandise needed.
 1t is quite probable that a few business houses will be established at Mt. Mena, the same as at other resorts, but as there would be but little occasion for them to remain open except during the heated term, 1t would be quite natural and appropriate for Mena mer- chants to establish branch stores there for the sale of articles likely to be most in demand.
 A telephone line in opperation -as there will be soon-wiIl af- ford individuals as we'll as iner- chants an opportunity to order supplies from Mena as needed each day.
 Along the line of establishing branch stores, a hint to the wise should be sufficient. With it's nu- merous advantages S25.000 spent on Mt.Mena will make it a very attractive and popular place and by another season the people will throng there by the hundreds and thousands, both from the north and the south.

There is no reason why Hornbeck should not make better town than Mena- We have larger tributary country, better soil, unlimited lumber interests and the advantage of being several degrees further south for fruit Horn beck Herald.
 We are glad to see Mena recog- nized as the better place and one to pattern after. It is possible that there is ''no reason why Horn beck should not make a better town" but will itg If it does we will not kick for certainly there is room and tributary country" enough for both towns. We, however, doubt the statement about "better soll'' and expect to be shipping fruit, especially ber- ries and apples, to Hornbeck next season.

Mt. Mena Notes.


 Mt. Mena is 2,700 feet above the sea and the highest point between the AL leghany and Rocky mountains.
 No more beautiful flowers grow any, where in the United State than are found growing wild on Mt. Mena.
 Every tent in Mena that was for sale has been purchased by those who want to go upon Mt. Mena for few weeks outing.
 Geo. NJ. Craig general townsite agent Sundayed at Mt. Mena and re- mained over Monday looking after the Company's interests there.
 Some of the material is on hand and telephone connections will be made between Mena and Mt. Mena as soon es the new wagon road is built

 In addition to the Holdar place the Trust Company has contracted for the Witherspoon place, containing 220 acres, and upon which are the noted iron springs.
 The survey of the new road from Grand Summit to Mt Mena shows that it has grade, or rise, of only eight feet to the hundred the entire distance of two and half miles.
 It looks strange to dig we'll direct ly on top of m ountain 2,700 feet high but they are finding plenty of water in the we'll just below the new hotel at twenty-four to thirty feet.
 While listening to the winds as they surge with regular cadence through the forests on Mt Mena at night, one can easily imagine that he is sleeping near the ocean beach and hearing the roll of the waves upon the shore.

 Twelve teams and twenty burros are now kept busy ''toting' lumber and other building material from the sta- ton at Grand Summit upon Mt. Mena for the new hotel. A good mule team can haul 300 feet of pine lumber or 1000 pounds of other material up, and make two trips each day.
 Among those stopping with N. A. Cramer on Mt Mena are Judge B. T. Estis, T. Mullen and wife, W. M. Null len and family, Col. Tillson and fam fly and brother, T. $.
