STILL In DOUBT .
The Second District will not be Deter
mined till the Official Figures Arrive.
McGraw's Great Run.

GRAFTON, w. Va, November IL
The result in the Second district Is
as uncertain as it was yesterday.
1t will take the official count TO de-
termine the actual result, aud some
suspicion is entertained because of
the withholding of Preston county's
VOTE
Your correspondent called at Mr..
McGraw,s office and found that he is
sick at his home with bad cold
caught by the exposure of the last
three weeks, but Mr. Mccoy, at Mr..
McGraw's Office, laughed at the claim
of eight hundred majority mace by
Dayton's friends, and said significant
ly that it was in harmony with their
former claim of three thousand. He
further suggested that every time they
revised Dayton's figures they reduced
his majority, and that by the time the
official returns are in it will be found
there is not margin of two hun
dred votes either way.
Mccoy suggested further the sig
niticant fact that McGraw had not
only carried his own town, which re-
versed a former Republican majority
of 2i9 into Democratic majority Of
Is, and reduced the majority in the
county from SOB two years ago TO Sc,
but he also carried Dayton's own
town of Philippi, by majority of 20
an increase over two years ago.
At the McGraw residence, inquiry
leVelonpd the fact that Mr. MeErav
had been confined to his room, since
election night with some symptoms Of
pneumonia.

TO GIVE THANKS.
The Governor Issues Proclama ton TO
the People.

Governor Atkinson issued the fol-
lowing thanksgiving proclamation yes
/ terday:
1t is meet and proper, and our duty
as well, TO give thanks s'to the Oliver
Of all good and perfect gifts of life,
liberty and for peace and prosperity in
our State and Nation. We are blessed
this year with bountiful harvests.
No scourge of disease has come upon
US. Plenty of all the necessaries of
life are all about us. Our people are
measuIably prosperous. There is an
abundance of opportunity for toll on
every hand. Victory, under God, has
crowned our arms in the short, but de
cisive war with Spain. Our soldiers
and sailors, on land and sea, have
brought new glories to the Great Re-
public. The war with Spain, so won
derfully decisive, has given downtrod-
den human beings all round the
world, an uplift in mental and moral
life that will make all nations broad
er and bigger and nobler and grander
Spain has been Inundated. God has
been honored, and the world has been
bettered. We are now at peace. and
we are thankful and ought to begrate-
full, and | believe we are. The hand
of our God has been upon us and for
our good.
In every pftion of the State our
schools and GAurches are on the up
grade. Our material resources are
being rapidly developed. Our social
affairs are more than gratifying, there
is joy around our firesides and the
spirit of patriotism and of high en-
deayor among old and young are every
where manifest. For all these bless
ings let God be praised.
Therefore / proclaim Thursday,
November "a, 1898, a day of general
public and private thanksgiving, and
| recommend that the people of West
Virginia suspend their usual business
avocations and attend divine worship
in their respective churches, for the
purpose of offering praise to the Giyer
Of all good; and that in the family
circle, and in all Of our State institu-
lions the same spirit may be mani
tested by recognition of the divine
blessings. | also suggest that the
poor may be remembered by the pub
lie collections for their benefit. SHE

on the poor
Given under my hand and the Great
Seal of the State of West Virginia, at

from Col. Smith.
The following are some extracts
from letter written by Col. Clar-
ence Smith:
We have two vacancies which
have been standing for some time,
and speculation is rife as to who
will be promoted. The Vacancies
are that of Captain of Company r,
caused by the resignation of Capt.
Raleigh G. Taylor and that Of end
Lieutenant of Company II, caused
by the dismissal of Lieut.. Smith.
The Governor fills these places
and it is probable that he will have
to appoint three or four officers be-
fore all places are filled. He will
doubtless appoint some LIST Lieu
tenant captain, and then some End
lieutenant captain, and then some
End lieutenant will be promoted to
lst lieutenant, which will leave two
2nd lieutenants, to be filed from the
ranks IF the Governor makes his
selection for captaincy from the
ranks he will give the place to Lieut..
w. j White, adjutant of the Regi-
ment, who is the ranking 1st Lieu
tenant and most capable officer.
II the Governor ignores rank and
selects some private, there is no tel
ling who will be appointed. But
one consolation, there is scarcely a
1st lieutenant in the First West Vir-
ginia who would not make good
captain But according to rank and
that is what the army expects, the
place is due to White. He is a
Morgantown boy and was adjutant
of the West Va. N. G.

A good story is being told on one
of the members of the local bar. A
client gave him a bill of nine dollars
and thirty cents to collect. The
man who owed the account called
and paid it and few moments af-
forwards seeing the man who had
given the claim to the lawyer told
him that the money was in the hand
of the attorney and could be gotten
when called for.
The creditor was in a hurry to
get it and when he called for his
money was informed that there was
balance due to lawyer of seventy
cents.
Being very much surprised at this
he asked, "Didn't you get the nine
thirty?" eyes, was the reply, "but
my attorneys fee for the service rem
dered was ten dollars SO you owe me
seventy cents" Hereafter collections
will be attended to by the victim him
self and the aid of the law will not be

OFF FOR CHARLESTON.
Football Team Left in High
Spirits.

Expect to Make Good ShOwing-Uni-
versity of Virginia will get its bumps
If there is any Virtue in Good Team.
Elegant Line up-No Weak Place
Alphabetical Time Expected.
Who will Play and where They will
be-Account Of the Game will be sent
this Paper-Other Notes.
The football team has left for
Charleston where they will on Mon
day meet the University of Virginia
for the first time that teams from
the two institutions have come to-
gether on the gridiron The men
were not accompanied by Prof.
Hodges as he did not think that it
was necessary for him to go along
and as in case he did go he would
have to lose so much time from his
work.
The men were in fine condition
and they hoped to cover themselves
with glory while away. Many of
them think that they will win the
game and all are confident that the
other side will not beat them very
badly.
The line up will be different from
any that has been had this year and
the only weak places in the organi-
cation will be strengthened wonder
fully. The line will be like a stone
wall with Krebbs and Nethkin in as
guards. Both of these men are
among the best that are in the bust
ness and the line will stand every
assault with them in it. Donley will
be at center as usual. White and
DarnelI will be the tackles.
When it comes to ends there are
four who can be utilized and they
all are first raters. The arrangement
will probably be to play the men at
different positions owing to which
side has the ball. Osborne, Welch
Noble and Whitman are there.
For the backs McWhorter will be
at quarter and Yeager at full as al
ways while South and Anderson will
act as halves with Osborne and
Whitman to fall back on in case of
need
There are few places that the
team will likely need men but if it
does they will be there and ready.
On the return the team will play
the University of Ohio, at Parkers-
burg, on Wednesday and they expect
to win with ease on this occasion.
The latter people treated the men
rotten last year when they went to
Athens to meet them and the team
wants to get even with them.
On Tuesday we will give special
telegram describing the game which
will be sent us by special cores
pendent at Charleston.

A TRAMP's ELOQUENT LECTURE.

A tramp asked for a free drink in
saloon. The request was granted,
and when in the act OF drinking the
protfered beverage, one of the young
men present exclaimed:
''Stop; make us a speech. It is
poor liquor that doesn't unloosen
mans tongue"
The tramp hastily swallowed down
the drink, and as the rich liquor
coursed through his blood he straight
ened himself and stood before them
with grace and dignity that all his
rags and dirt could not obscure.
Gentlemen, he said, 81 look to-
night at you and myself, and 1t seems
to me | look upon the picture Of my
lost manhood. This bloated face was
once young and handsome as yours.
This stumbling figure once walked as
proudly as yours, man in the world
Of men. l, too, once had home and
friends and position. / had wife as
beautiful as an artists dream, and |
dropped the priceless pearl of shon-
or and respect in the wine cup and,
Cleopatra-like, saw it dissolve and
quaffed it down in the Drumming
draught. l had children as sweet
and lovely as the flowers of spring,
and saw them fade and die under the
blighting curse of drunken father.
/ had home where love lit the
fame upon the altar and ministered
before it, and / put out the holy fire
and darkness and desolation reigned
in its stead. / had aspirations AMI
ambitions that scared as high as the
morning star and broke and bruised
their beautiful wings, and at last
strangled them that / might hear
their cries no more. To-day / am a
husband without wife, a father
without child, a tramp with no
home to call his own, a man in whom
every good impulse is dead. And all
swallowed up in the maelstrom Of
drink"
The tramp ceased speaking. The
glass fell from his nerveless fingers
and shivered into thousand frag-
ments on the floor. The swinging
doors pushed open and shut again,
and when the little group about the
bar looked up the tramp was gone

WHY THE TRRKIsH SOLDIERS ARE
EFFECTIVE.
Major-General Nelson A. Miles, in
McClures Magazine, writing of the
Turkish army, says: "What / saw
of the Turkish soldiers in Constanti-
nople convinced me that they are
among the most effective in the world.
There are many reasons for this fact.
(. They are all Moslems, and
their religion has three elements
which contribute largely to their sol
dierly qualities. 1t en-
forces simplicity of life and strict
temperance.

The Olivette arrived recently from Ha-

lay alongside was blown into the water,
sustaining no injury, yet no vestigo of the

RARE ARTEGIAN WELL.
Its Water Said to BE a Preventive Of

Its Water Said to BE a Preventive Of
Texas or Splenetic Fever.
The attention of the United States bu,
reau of animal industry has been called to
the remarkable qualities Of the water
which flows from an artes.an well situated
on the ranch of Colonel G. NJ. Terrell, two
miles north of San Antonio Tex. Expert
ments with the water show that it is a
sure preventive of Texas or splenetic fever,
and it is probable that dipping station
for all south Texas cattle will be establish
ed at the well.
When the water was first struck, the
large pasture in which it is located was
filled with cattle, all of which were covered
with the faver tick. A short time after
they had common 3ed drinking the water it
was found that the animals were entirely
free from the ticks. The water has TEN.
peTature Of 106 degrees and has peculiar
medicinal qualities, which prove beneficial
to the animals when dipped, In all the
dipping experiments heretofore made a
chemically prepared water was used, which
was very injurious to the stock, and for
that reason cattle dipping has not come
into general practice.
The artesian we'll is 1900 feet deep
and has a flow of 500, 900 gallons per day.
