James Finley stiles, OF Washington,
Pa, was In Bellaire Saturday. IookinE
for evidence against James F. MUIR
ply" who married his daughter on the
first OF February. He believed Murphy
was an impostor and had only married
his daughter because she was soon to
come into possession OF q considerable
sum Of money.
He brought "Murphy's" photograph
to assist him In learning what he could,
The photograph was that OF James
Mlnder, who was supposed to have 4
wife living on Gravel Hill. where Mrs.
Minder and her twin children still live.
Marshal Bahra called upon Mrs MIN
der, however, and she told the othcer
she had no marriage certificate, and
never had one, but she and James
Minder were married ia Wheeling Ia
the fall OF 1892 She also said that he
left last summer to find work, but had
been back several time since, the last
time being between Christmas and New
Years. At that time he wanted her 10
move 20 Little washington, but she
refused to go and he Hl!d II she did not
20 he would never come back. She said
she didn't want to prosecute him. be-
cause she was glad he had left her.
When Mt. Stiles received this intor-
nation. he came to wheeling TO see II
the records there showed that license
had been issued for the marriage OF
James Minder and Mrs. Nichols, in the
fall Of 90, and declared that whether
they had been married or not, he was
going to push the fellow because his
daughter had been deceived into mar
rylng a Murphy. when he wasn't
Murphy at all.
Last night an Intelligencer reporter
called on County Clerk Robertson and
inquired as 20 the local end OF the
story. Mr. Robertson said Stiles had
been at his office last week, and an ct.
fort was made 10 hunt up the record OF
the marriage OF Ainder, bat the search
was unsuccessful, and the clerk says
there Is no record OF the ceremony In
Ohio county. This rather compllcates
the situation. Developments may occur
az the Washington end OF the line.

Annie DiggS Talks.

In reply to request for her opinion of the
present state administration, Mrs. Annie l..
Diggs said to State Journal reporters
81 suppose that means, will Governor Leedv
be reelected Well, that depends He has
strong qualities and is very popular with con-
siderable portion of his party. 1t is not I'M
probable that the Judge Williams affair may
create situation which will immensely strength
en- his hold upon the people. His railroad po-
si.ion is strong. His weakness lies in resist
ing the demand for the removal of ex-Gov-
ernor Lewelling from the board of railway COM
missioners, and also in the stand he has taken
on the enforcement of prohibition. 1t was a
great piece of unwisdom to permit the police
commission law to stand. Each locality should
be made responsible for its enforcement of law.
AS it is, the administration is held responsible
and the local people are helpless. There is but
one way for Governor Leedy to win the conf
dence of the large temperance element in the
Populst party; there is but one way for him to
win votes from the best element in the Repub-
lican party-that is 10 thoroughly and constant
ly enforce the law, not in Topeka alone, but
wherever his commissioners are placed. No
halfway measure will win respect nor protect
him from the inevitable charges of colusion
with the lawless and evil elements in these cit
les. The evils of the drink traffic are in my
opinion more results than causes of poverty and
unadusted Industrial conditions, but prohi-
bition is our constitutional law and Governor
Leedy lifted his right hand aud kissed the Bible
in pledge of its enforcement, and there is neither
reason no1 decency in laxty on that line. Gov
ernor Leedy would doubtless call out the militia
if need be to protect the interest of the state in
the Judge Williams affair. He could be equal
ly as strong and decided as to violators of con-
stitutional law. 1t would be good politics as
we'll as good morals. He owes nothing to the
whisky element, as the returns showed. He

MODERN REFORMERS.

The world had reformers, men who were stern
ly just,
Who smote the thrones of wickedness and laid
them in the dust;
Meek, tender men, made mighty by manknd's
blood and tears,
Strong men with words like thunderbolts to
smte the wrong of years.
Were all these reformers of breed too weak to
last?
Did all the great wrong-sniters wane and perish
in the past?
Did they fight losing battle? Were they con-
quered in the fray?
Why are there no reformers fighting in the world
to-day?
Well, tits but thing of labels the reformers
have not gone,
But they're mixing with the people with mis-
leading placards on;
For we placard them fanatics, visonaries,
cranks and fools
Men denounced by clubs and churches, by the
journals and schools.
There are men who wear these placards daily
in the market place;
Heroes of ancient lineage, kings and saviors of
the race;
But we never see their greatness through lifes
trivial events, !.
But our children's sons will read it on their
granite monuments.

them; and he will go down la Lewelling un.
less he stands square. But then you can count
on his Republican successor falling into the
same quagmire, SC it will all come out right on

isn't overwhelmingly inspiring. For the rest,
the people want clean, strong men whose record

SENATOR HARRIS RETURNS.

Senator Harris, who has just returned home
from Washington, was interviewed between
trains at Kansas City.
He said that to him the only real disappoint-
ment Of the recent extraordinary session OF con-
Dress was the failure of his Union Pacific reso-
luton.
"The tariff bill is an niquitous measure, y he
said, "but it was one of the things we expected
when Mckinley was elected, and therefore 1t
was not disappointment But my resolution
was different thing. 1t was designed to pro-
tect the peoples interest in the Union Paclhc
property, and it should have passed We had
votes enough to pass it. Five or six Repub-
licans were ready to vote with us and carry the
resolution in spite of few corporation Demo-
Gratis who are opposed to it.
"Foraker, who was with us, thought there
was no great haste necessary, as he did not be-
lieve the court could get to the foreclosure be-
fore the regular session of congress. But see
that Judge Sanborn, in the face of the pending
resolution, has ordered the sale of the road in
October, two months before congress shall meet.
We sent to Judge Sanborn and to all the other
federal Judges copies of the record-served no.
tice ON them-but, notwithstanding, the sale
has been ordered, the upset bid to be $45, ,ooo,-
900.
eff the property be sold under that order
and the sale approved by the court, it will
wipe out every vestige of the many millions
the government owns i'll it, and the road
will become the property of a corporation ere
ated under the laws of Utah--a tramp corpora
ton not amenable to the laws of the United
States.
"I am on my way to Leavenworth to gather
ND the thread of the litigation in the matter
There may be an opening for us to get IN by
hook or crook and yet prevent this outrage.
''It is shocking thing to contemplate
There seems to be nobody in authority willing
to protec. the peoples rights Every one
seems to be the friend of the corporation.
"That was the case too, in congress. The
men who were lin it, to use popular phrase
the men who were in the saddle-thought
only of the trusts, combines and corporations,
and they passed the Dingley tariff bill.
"The only time saw Hanna angry during
the session was moment after the passage of
the bill 'Well' said White of California, sur
veying the sendte chamber and turning toward
Hanna, lit is finished, and now the trusts, COM
bines and corporations should be willing to give
to the chairman of the national Republican
committee a receipt i'll full
"Hanna Redeemed and seized the arms of a
chair in an effort to rise, but evidently thought
the better of it, and settled back again. This
incident closed the chapter and the bill was
carried in great haste to the president for his
signature"

Free Cure For Men.
A MICHIGAN MAN OFFERS TO
SEND HIS DISCOVERY FREE.
Claims to be a Benefactor to Weakened
Mankind.

Mankind.
There Is always more or less suspicion
attached to anything that is offered free
but sometimes a man so Overflows with
generosity that he cannot rest until his
discovery is known to the world, in order
that his fellow men may profit by what
he has discovered. 1t is upon this princi-
pie that a resident of Kalamazoo, Mich,
desires to send free to mankind a pre-
scriptiOn which will cure them of any
form of nervous debility; relieves them OF
all the doubt and uncertainty which such
men are peculiarly liable to and restores
the organs to natural size and vIgOr. AS
ii costs nothing to try the experiment it
would seem that any man, suffering with
the nervous troubles that usually attack
men who never stopped to realize what
might be the final result, ought to be
deeply interested in remedy which will
restore them to health, strength and
vigor. without which they continue to
live an existence of untold misery. AS
the remedy In question was the result OF
many years research as to what comb
nation would be peculiarly effective In
restoring TO men the strength they need,
1t would seem that all men suffering with
any form of nervous weakness ought to
write for such a remedy at once. A re-
quest to III. @. Oids, Box 1922, Kala-
nazoo, Michigan, stating that you are
not sending for the prescription out Of
IDLE curiosity, but that you wish to make
use OF the medicine by giving it a trial,
will be answered promptly and without
evidence as to where information came
from.
The prescription is sent free, and al
though some may wonder how Mr.. Odds
cap afford to give away his discovery.
there is no doubt about the offer being
genuine. Cut this out and send to Mr.
Odds that he may know how you came to
write him
