Wheat has taken terrible tum.
bic in the Chicago stock market

The Commander of the FLYING
Squadron is a big, brawny athlete
IN perfect physical health and a
lighter, not "from way back" but
right up in the front rank where
he belongs. He was born in 1910
near Frederick City, Nd, and Is Of
Alsatlan descent.
West Virginia argus. [volume] (Kingwood, W. Va.) 1877-1946, 1898-06-16

There is no longer any doubt
about the proper pronunciation of
the name of the Commander of our
Flying Squadron. The SpAniards
have tried very hard to catch him
mapping, but he is just as Sly as
they are, so there is something in
a name after all, Schley being pro.
nounced Sly.

There is something in a name
after all. What's the matter with
george Washington Dewey, Win
held Scott Schley and Captain
sampson? Dewey see anything in
a name3 Yes, We do. The next
man Is Schley enough to Winfield
and get off Scott free, like the hero
Of Manila. We believe, however.
that ne could Winfield better on
land than on sea, and it looks to
US like Sampson should have been
sent against the Phillstines instead
Of Dewey.

SECOND DISTRICT POiTICS.
Time aud Place For the Dem ocratic
Congressional Convention.

Pursuant TO call Of Hon. w.
b. Cornw well. chairman. the Demo.
cratic committee for the Second
Congressional District Of West Vr-
ginia, held II meeting at the Kenney
House in Piedmont, on Saturday,
June 18th. 1t Was decided TO hold
the next convention FOR this Dis
trlct at Elkins. Randolph county,
OH wednesday, August 10th, 1898
After the meeting. MIR. Cornwell
was interviewed by u reporter and
asked whether he was n candidate
or not and replied as follows:
You can say emphatIcally that
my name will not be before the
Elklns con, entIon. | am grateful
TO my friends in the district for
their kindly interest, but | can not
afford it. My business is in
chaotic state by reason OF the long
continued illness and death OF ms
father and brother. | now feel that
| owe my first duty to my family
and my business. | am too poor
to 60 in campaign and neglect
them for six months longer"
In reply to question as to who
would most likely receive the nomi.
nation MIR. Cornwell continued
a. do not know but two persons
have been mentioned, so far AS
know, who are. in my judgment,
likely to be in the race, and those
are my friends Sam Woods, of
Barbour county and Junior
Brown. of Preston. Both of these
gentleman are especial friends OF
mine and both were so foolish as to
tell me that they would support
me il desired to make the race.
just received letter from
Junior who is now IN the STATE
of Washington, looking after some
business up there. From the tone
of that letter | am of the opinion
that he Is thinking more about
making money than going to
Congress, so 1t looks like Woods
would be nominated. He is fine
campaigner and genial, scholarly
gentleman"
In reply to further inquiry re-.
garding the chances of carrying
the district MIR. Cornwell SAID
"There is no doubt about it, Day
ton laid down his hand to few
boiling Democrats and has dis
gusted most of the sensible men i'm
his own party. He has been wrong
about everything /; he Is simply the
shadow of Elkins, and sneezes
every time that gentleman takes
snuff. lie was even worse than a
great many of the other Republican
bers of Congress, and was
willing ally Of old Huntington in
his efforts to rob the Government
by means Of his Pacific Railroad
Funding Bill But, in all proba-
bility he will be nominated, as he
has a few postmasters scattered
over the district in every county
who will be at the convention. Mr..
Elklns will press the button and
and they will do the rest. No, /
shall have nothing. practically, to
do with politics this year, but will
endeavor to catch up with my
work"

that he had no knowledge OF how sloA

Fire Chief Stuart at the last city
council meeting recommended that
some fire bills he returned to be item
ICED and otherwise corrected. Also
some to be cut down. Among these
bills was one from Chemical Co. No.
2, for 1915 for work at tho Collins
fire. l wish to say that this hill can
not be corrected. az 1t Is correctly
made out. 1t IL itemized and shows
who worked and for how long q
time. MIR. Stuart,recommended that
this bill be cut down, when lnstruc-
lions are that when we work at a
fire one hour we get paid for one
hour, II we work over an hour we
get paid for two hours; etc. As we
worked the most part Of two hours
at the Collins fire we put in bill
for two hours. Mr.. Collins watched
the fire seven hours at night ana We
put in seven hours for him. He IL a
member of Chemical Co. No. 2 and as
such Is entitled to pay. We have
understood that fire companies take
c Ire of a fire until it IL entirely under
control and can do no more dam
age. Mr.. Stuart told US that we
could get only one hour for said fire.
consequently Clinical Co. No. 2 ap-
pointed a com mittee to see Mr..
Stuart and inform him that we asked
for pay for the time that we were en-
titled to. We never presented any
bill for more time than we ought to
have and will never do so. Mr..
Stuart also stated in the council
that the foreman of a certain COM
pany had declared that whenever a
fire alarm was turned in he would
give his company credit for two
hours whether they were ut the fire
or not. wish to state that we are
not that company. Furthermore
wish TO inform Mr.. Stuart that
Chemical Co. No. IL composed Of
men and citizens and want to he re-
spected as such even II we are locat-
ed up In the second precinct.

much rope, and In play it jumped

the face. A compound fracture OF
the nose was caused, and his face
was badly bruised. He was taken
to DR.. Roberts Office. where his in
juries were attended to. and then

DELAY IS NOT SURPRISING
Washington Officials Aware OF

Iusal Of the American Terms
10 Whole.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Cup to the
close Of Office hours the reply of Spain
had not been received nor any intima.
ton az to how soon the reply might be
expected. The French ambassador had
not been heard from throughout the
day, and he, as we'll as our own gov.
ernment officials, was waiting for
Spain to give the final response. Two
days have now passed without q word
officially from Spain, either in the way
Of inquiry or response. From this it is
clear that the Spanish cabinet fully re.
Allies the time for argument. counter
proposals and modification has gone by
and that there is only one simple issue
to be met, namely, whether the Amori.
can terms will be accepted as whole
or rejected.
There is indeed reason to believe that
the Spanish government has been di.
rectly notified that the stage of negoti.
alton has passed and that only the
matter Of an answer, favorable or IN
favorable, remains. That the answer
has not come quickly is no matter of
surprise to the officials here, for they
realize the tremendous responsibility
which Premier Sagasta must assume
in making these peace terms sufti.
GENTLY palatable to the Spanish popu-
lace and the political leaders to permit
acceptance without an internal convul.
