The football team left this morn
ing for Pittsburg where they go up
against p. A. G. this afternoon.
They look forward to defeat but
they hope to hold the score down as
low as possible. Harry Anderson
and John Sweeney were unable to go
with them and they will be joined
in Pittsburg by Krebs and another
Latrobe player. This will strength
en- the line and they may be able to
hold their old rivals level.
However they do not expect to
win the game. This will be the
fourth game that they have played
with p. A. G. and they have made a
fine record with them.
Prof Hodges and A. N. Thomson
went along with the boys. They
will be back in the morning and will
be ready to go to Clarksburg on Sat.
urday.
The arrangements for the Clarks-
burg trip are we'll under way. In
order to get special from here clear
through and back we will have to
have two hundred people to go. The
rate will be one-eighty for the round
trip or with admission to the ground
two-thirty. The tickets will be sold
for two-thirty and all arrangements
will be made for the railroad tickets
and everything else.
In case there are not more than u
hundred we will go on the noon
train Saturday night special from
Fairmont arriving in Clarksburg at
two in the afternoon. The B. d @.
will run special for us that night.
A very large crowd will go. All
those who have not done SO will
leave their names at this office so
that the special may be obtained if
possible If the day is good one
and that is the probability now there
will be an immense crowd 90. All
the railroads are giving reduced
rates and the town will be crowded
by the lovers of the long haired gen
try.

OLD MAN CAME BACK.
John Slemaker, of Sistersyille, Returns
After a Mysterious Absence of
Is Years.

John Slemaker. after a mysterious
disappearance of eighteen years, sud-
denly appeared at Sistersville yester-
day. The old man is now over seven
ty years of age, and his appearance
at home was not unexpected by the
aged wife, who has always been of the
belief that he would some day return.
Mrs. Slemaker, SO firm was she in her
belief that her husband would return
again, has never left her home for
fear he would appear and she would
be absent. but strangely enough, she
was persuaded to leave for a visit to
Wheeling and when she arrived home
she was overjoyed to find her husband
sitting by the Preside.
No explanation has been given of
the old mans queer actions, and his
return was only to find his sons inn
mensely wealthy, they having been
among the first oil men to make rich
strikes in the Sistersville oil fields,
and the family living in luxury.

GOING ALL RIGHT.
Progress on Lock 10 all that
could be wished.

A Trifiing delay from washed ont
Golfer Bam-This has been fixed all
right Howeyer-LOck Is will be the
next one to receive attentiOn-Where
the material comes from and how it
is used.
The recent raise in the river inter-
fered to some extent with the work
on lock number ten across the river.
The work has been getting on fam
ously and to those who have not
visited it what has been done will be
a revelation.
The lock part of the work is nearly
completed and the attention of the
contractor has been turned to the dam
part. The Golfer dam for this has
been placed into position for hall OF
the way across the river as it will be
built in two sections.
About half of the Golfer dam that
had been placed in was broken loose and
swung down the river. 1t was soon
put back into place and with very
little loss comparatively.
The work has been going on with
two shifts at night and day The
contractor has been able to get along
faster than he expected and the work
will be done by the holidays if moth
ing interferes more than is expected
now. As soon as this one is done the
attention of the contractor will be
turned to lock number fifteen and it
will be begun in the spring. The
material for this is being bought now
and it will be shipped when it is need
ed so that there will be no delay from
this reason.
The lock and dam will be very strong
and very cheap. The time that is oc-
cupied in building them is very much
less than it would have been to have
used cut stone. Tt is estimated that
the whole thing can be completed in
the time that it would take to cut the
stone and that the cost of the entire
work is less than the cost of cutting
the stone Itself.
The sand for the work is obtaine
in Cheat river and hauled here in
barges The gravel comes from the
Allegheny and is brought the same
way. All the material is carefully
gone over and none but the very best
goes into the work.
Every one is glad to see the progress
on these Improvements SO satisfactory
and no one is more pleased than the
river men who are waiting to get
chance at the great trade on the upper
reaches of this river.

The Evening Sky.

That strikingly brilliant star that
may be seen after sunset in the south
western portion of the sky not very
far from the horizon is the planet
Venus, at present shining with her
maximum brightness. At a very
short distance from it the first mag
nitude star Antarn, distinguished by
its intense redness in which it rivals
the planet Mars. Somewhat above
Venus the planet Saturn, the most
remarkable of all the members of our
solar system, forms conspicuous OBJ
ject in the heavens, certainly, present
a panorama worthy of contemplation
of all who are capable of approaching
the grandeur and beauty of the uni
verse aud of allowing their thoughts
to rise sometimes aloft to something
incomparably higher than the ordi-
nary pursuits OF daily life.

MEALS ELECTION
Said to be Conceded by many Republic
can Majority may ex-
ceed 600


HUNTINGTON, W. Va, Oct. 81
The campaign is now waged with
much interest in this end of the 4th
Congressional district and the Dem
ocrats seem to be thoroughly arous-
ed. Speeches were made at various
points throughout Cabell, Mason,
Putnam, Lincoln and Wayne coun-
ties last week, and seldom, if ever
were the democratic meetings in this
end of the district better attended.
Another thing that has been notice
able is the cold indifference shown to
Republican orators in these parts.
Every meeting of the G. o. 2. in this
section has been a complete failure,
both in numbers and oratory. There
is no longer any question of doubt
regarding the election of George /.
Neal. Even many leading Republi-
can leaders concede this on the quiet
and claim that his majority may ex-
coed 1900. In Cabell county the
Democratic ticket will be elected
by majority ranging from three to
five hundred.

NOT GUILTY.
A Verdict in the Case Of Cap Hatfield
Held on Two Other Charges.

LOGAN, w. Va, October 27.-The
jury in the cap" Hatfield murder
case brought IN verdict Of mot
guilty. The trial throughout was
one of the most interesting ever wit
messed in this section.
Hatfields two brothers, Troy and
Elias, were indicted jointly with him,
but they broke jail here three months
ago, and have not yet been re- captur
ed.
"Cap," win be taken to Williamson,
Mingo county, where he will be given
a speedy trial for jail breaking, which
occurred there more than year ago.
He is also indicted under what is
known as s'Red Mans" act, as he, to-
gether with some Of his relatives, a
year or so ago, assaulted Greenyille
Ellis neighbor, leaving him almost
dead upon the public highway. In
dictments against Troy and Elias
Hatfield, indicted as accomplices in
the case Just tried, will probably oe
nollied.

ELKINS SPEAKS.
Not very large turnout to hear
the Senator.

The main points of the talk-Silver
takes up much of the talk-TariR'
talked to some extent-The war taken
up-Some of the things that were
not explained-Gountry people do
not come In ON account of the bad
weather.
Senator Elkins spoke here on We'd
nesday afternoon in the Opera House.
The attendance was not as large as
was expected although the lower part
of the house was well filled. The
speech was about the same one that
he has been delivering for so long and
contained nothing very startling in
the way of facts or figures He stated
that the administration should not be
blamed for the mistakes that had been
made in the war but the blame placed
on the shoulders of the incompetent
subordinates who through pulls had
gotten the positions.
The Dingley bill was said to be a
great revenue producer and the treas
ury to be bursting with money In con-
sequence of its action when as a mat
ter of fact it has never produced
money enough to run the government
and the money obtained by the Cleve-
land bond sales together with the war
revenue bill is all that has kept it
from being miserable failure.
The speech did not explain the
Fairmont speech in which he advo.
Gated free silver, nor the interview
when he said that the laboring man
would have to find out that his wages
would inevitably come down. The
tendency is downward and that will
continue in spite of everything that
your labor organization can do.
His attitude before the war, began
of opposition TO the move was not
discussed. The money question was
the main part of the talk. This is a
little remarkable when it is remem-
bered that the silver question is a
dead issue if we are TO believe what
the opponents to the scheme say of
it.
. The crowd was not very enthusi-
astic although at several places when
given the tip they gave some pretty
good responses. Several of the prom
inent republicans were conspicuous by
their absences and the country people
on account of the bad weather did
not come at all.

POLITICAL SITUATION.
Chairman Teeter in town for
Conference.

He tells them that he is Confident
thousand majority is promised from
this County-The Party that gets the
Vote out will win--Other Political
Notes.
Charles +. Teeter of Philippi who
is chairman of the republican congress-
ional committee was in town on We'd
nesday comforting with the local
leaders. They assured him that the
county would give at least one thous-
and majority which is falling off
from two years ago OF more than two
hundred. He expressed himself as
satisfied with the outlook to the
brethren and full of confidence In the
result. The headquarters OF the COM
mittee has been moved from Philippi
to Grafton in order to be more on the
ground where the scrapping il to be
done.
The polls of both parties show that
the result is TO be very close in case
there is no change from now until
election day but the tide has been to-
ward McGraw ever since the conyen-
tion which nominated him. This
will make the figures larger than they
appear now. However the fact seems
to be that which ever party gets the
vote out will win the fight
Both will have some trouble in this
but If the conditions which prevail
locally and over the rest OF the county
out side of the district are true the
republicans will lose most from this.
They have general apathy in a greater
degree than their opponents and they
will lose more votes from this cause
than the democrats.
They will have lots of money to use
however and they will try to get every
vote into the ballot box The Dem
ocrats have as usual but little cash
but they will also do all they can to
get the vote out. Their men as a
general thing will vote and they will
all vote together The gold and sill
yer men are together again and all
differences have been forgotten. But
one gold man in this town will fail to
support McGraw and he now calls
himself republican SO that he would
not support any democrat. The rest
are in line and will work and vote for
the ticket.
The republicans aside from the ap-
athy have to fix lots of MEN who are
down on Dayton and this is no small
job. The disaffection in this county
is very great but they say that they
will have no serious trouble in fixing
it.

LETTER FROM SCHLEY.
The Hero of Santiago writes one
to a MorgantowD man.

Rev. DIR. Leech receives a letter from
the Admiral in answer to one of con-
graduation ON the glorious victory
won i'm July-A modest reply-Due
praise given to his comrades No
effort to claim the Lions share un-
worthily will be presented to
the University for preservation.
The following letter was received
several weeks ago by Rev. DIR.
Leech of this city from his friend
Admiral Schley. AS it is an auto
graph letter he intends to present it
to the University for preservation
among it's archives DR.. Leech is a
relative by marriage of theAdmiral
and wrote to him soon after the de-
struction of the Spanish feet con
graduating him on the great victory
won. The letter is in reply to this
letter and is in perfect harmony with
the modest character of the Admiral.
Schley gives large share of the
credit to the brave men who were
with him and who gave so much aid
to him in winning the victory He
wants them to have all the credit
that can be given them. Very little
is said of the share that he has in
the fight but the action is allowed
to speak for itself.
The letter is the Only one that has
been received here from the dis,
tinguished hero who is easily the
leader of all that the war has pro-
duced and will be read with inter
est. 1t is as follows:
