The Pittsburg Exposition Has it on Dis
play in the Foyer--The Southern Rail-
way has an E1 hibit Which Appeals
to Thoughtful People.
Perhaps the most interesting single
exhibit at the Pittsburg Exposition
this year, is to be found in the foyer @
tho main building. 1t occupies the
entire room, aud is the result of years
OF patient collecting. 1t illustrates
the natural wealth of a wonderful, and
as yet but little developed section Of
this great country. The Southern
Railway owns the exhibit, and b as
made it much more comprehensive
this year than ever before.
It is made up ofcommonplsce things,
bits of stone, slabs Of wood in natural
finish, specimens Of minerals, grain,
fruits, vegetables, photographs Of
scenery and buildings. All these go
to give some idea of the country which
the Southern Railway is developing
The display catches the thinking
people; those who 60 to the E1posi-
ton to learn something, as well as to
be amused. They find in the display
of these common things "a most won.
derful encyclopedia of nature. They
see for themselves how cotton grows,
and have impressed on their minds
that gold is found in paying quanti-
ties along, the Southern Railway
They begin to grasp the fact that the
iron-producing regions of Alabama
may some day contest with Pittsburg
for supremacy in she industrial race.
They see whatia wonderful range Of
agricultural products the South has.
They wonder, sometimes, what will
be the effect on thesless fertile North,
when the people of this favored region
awaken to Industrial and agricultural
activity, and when capital begins to
develop the South on the same scale
tha; it has already developed the
North.
The Pittsburg News, issue of Sep
tember 21, contains the 7ao0Ve 1"s0to
inc mention of the Southern Railways
exhibit at the Pittsbnrg Exposition.
The Land anl Industrial Agent of
the Southern advises that they can

For the Erection Of a Monument to tho
Memory OF La Fayette by tho Youth Of
the United States.

For the Erection of a Monument to tho
Memory OF La Fayette by tho Youth Of
the United States.

is earnestly requested. It will be
observed that it is proposed by the
Commissioner General for the United
States to the Paris Exposition to make
especially conspicuous and resplendent.
the celebration of United States Day
at the coming Exposition. The great
feature Of these exercises is to be the
unveiling and dedication Of a. monu-
ment from the children and youth OF
our country to The memory OF our
nations first benefactor and defender,
La Fayette. The proposition to raise
the funds necessary for the erection of
the monument through the agency of
the schools, has for one of its chief
purposes, the direction of the minds
of our young people to a broader study
of the historic events of the early days
of the Republic.
We are requesting the Superinten-
dent of your schools to take this mat
ter up and aid US in such manner as
he may think best. To you, however,
as all Influential factor in your COM
munity, we address this special re-
quest for cooperation, not alone as a
publisher but as a citizen. We hope
you may, where consistent, join
personally with your superintendent
of schools and mayor, perhaps, in the
formation of committee, which will
be recognized by this commission as
official to further the success Of this
significant and opporture, movement.
Thanking you in advance for your
patriotic support.
Very respectfully,
Ferdinand ". Peck,
Commissioner General.

surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown,
as the day which the schools of the
United States arc asked to recognize

IT looks as If Senator Quay Of Penn
sylvania is at last in serious trouble.
He and his son Richard were arrested
in Philadelphia last week on the charge
Of having unlawfully used the States
money deposited in the Peoples Ma
tional Bank. This bank, which was
largely used by the politicians, failed
year or two ago, and its cashier, John
S, Hopkins, blew his brains out. An
investigation of its affairs showed
many gross irregularities, and letters
and memoranda were found involving
some very prominent people. Senator
Quay appears to have had an inau-
ence over Hopkins that enabled him
to control the banks funds as he
pleased, and, unfortunately for him,
there is documentary evidence that he
specialized with the States money in
an immoral and illegal way. His po-
litical enemies are pushing him hard,
and though he may succeed in getting
out of this scrape, 1t is evident that it
is the beginning of the end of Quay.
His political lane has been long one,
but the turn is bound to come.

How to Look Good.

Good looks are really more than
skin deep, depending entirely on a
healthy condition of all the vital or
gans. If the liver is inactive, you
have a bilious look ; if your stomach
is disordered, you have dyspeptic
look; if your kidneys are affected,
you have a pinched look. Secure
good health, and you will surely have
good looks. Electric Bitters" is a

complexion. Every bottle guaranteed,

startling Tragedy in Ohio.

George Saxton, brother Of Mrs. NJ
Kinley' wife of President William Nc
Kinley. was shot and killed last Fri
day evening in Canton, Ohio. Just
as he was ascending the steps OF the
residence of Mrs. Eva Altbouse, wld-
ow, a yelled woman came up to him
and fred FIVE shots at him with a re-
volver. She then turned and walked
hurriedly away. Later, Mrs. Anna
c. George, the divorced wife of 5. Z.
George, was arrested and placed IN
Jail on the charge of having commit
ted the murder. Developments that
have occurred since the tragedy show
that Saxton was pretty gay man
He had been attentive to Mrs. George
for a long time, and she says he prom
ised to marry her if she would get a
divorce from her husband. She got
her divorce by going to Dakota, but
Saxton failed to keep his promise, and
Mrs. George threatened to kill him.
The woman's husband sued Saxton for
$4,000 damages for alternating his
wife's affections, but the suit was re-
Gently compromised, Saxton paying
George 81, 825 to drop the prosecution.
Mrs. Althouse, in front Of whose home
the shooting occurred, seems to have
succeeded Mrs. George in Saxton s
affections, and several months ago she
began peace proceedings against Mrs.
George, who, it was stated, had threat
ened to take her life. Mrs. George
was arraigned on the charge of muir
der, and plead not guilty. If the
case comes to trial there will be a
great dish of scandal. The news was
received at the White House Friday
night, and President and Mrs. McKin-
ley at once went to Canton. They
are greatly distressed over the unfor-
tunate affair.

Opinion of an Eminent Jurist.

Ballot reform in New York was neces-
sary, says an eminent iurist, because
mere politicians by trade, who had no
interest in government or politics eX-
cept to enrich and aggrandize them
selves. sought perpetual control. There
are other excellent reforms besides that
of the ballot. Conspicuous among them
is the reform in disordered physical
system by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which counteracts tendencies to serious
disease bred by a deficiency of vital
stamina, irregularity of the bowels,
stomach, liver or kidneys, and inquietude
of the nerves. This sterling medicine,
which has for near half century won
popular favor, not only for its excellent
qualities in remedial capacity. but also
for its serviceable properties as a medi-
cinal stimulant.

REM EN- Der.

We want the Democrats of this dis
trict to remember a few things as
election time draws near. Remem-
ber-
That seat in the State Senate that
was bodily stolen from Democrat.
That the Board of Public Works re-
duced the taxes paid by the great
railroad corporations. which will as
suredly have to be made up by private
individuals.
That experienced men were sighted
so that unqualified persons like the
Governor own son and politicians
with pull could be appointed to
lucrative offices in the army.
That in appointments by our Gov
ernor and by our Congressman the
wishes of the people in many cases
have been entirely ignored.
That dangerous criminal has been
turned loose from the penitentiary
upon the people of Jefferson county.
That another four years of Repub-
lican administration in West Virgin
ia will probably be worse than the
last four years.

There is little war in Minnesota

There is little war in Minnesota.
The Pillager Indians have gone on
the war-path, and in a fight last week
with United States soldiers FIVE or SIX
Of the latter were killed and number
of others injured. The loss to the In
dams is unknown. The origin OF the
war, it is explained, was in the re-
fusal of chief to go long Journey
to be witness in some liquor-selling
cases. He had once before gone a
long way to Duluth on being sum-
moned, but was refused his mileage
and witness fees and had to trudge
home afoot, begging his bread as he
went. This led him to declare he
would not go again. if summoned, and
his tribe supported him. The Indians
also have rather well-founded belief
that the whites are trying to crowd
them off their reservation, and this
adds to the ugly feeling. General
Bacon, who is in command, is calling
for additional troops.

dence, not quite completed, Winches-

ly $4,000 insurance.
Congressman Aston G. Dayton, Re-
publican, and John T. McGraw, Dem
ocrat, candidates for Congress second

Mr.. L. G. GERLING, who was NOM
mated for the Legislature by the Re-
publicans of Berkeley county, has sent
in his resignation as candidate, giving
as the reason i'll health. Now the
leaders are urging Mr.. U. S. G. Pitzer
to accept the nomination, and the
whole thing looks like an attempt to
soft soap Mr.. Pitzer. The politicians
of Berkeley county slaughtered him
when he was candidate for Congress,
and now they want to even things up
by offering him an inferior place. Mr..
Pitzer is mighty good-natured man,
but he will be more than obiging if he
helps these fellows out of the hole into
which they have gotten themselves by
their own deceitfulness.
