Republicans Do Not Like the Atkinson
Dawson Advertising Scheme.

Moundsville Herald Rep).
1t appears that Chairman Dawson has
charge of Governor Atkinson's campaign
for United States Senator and conceived
the idea of putting the Governor forward
to hold joint discussion with Gen. c. c.
Watts This, so the willy chairman fig
ured, would bring the Governor into
prominence and give him an advantage
over Scott and, other candidates for Sena-
tor. No doubt all Republican aspirants
for Senator would be glad if the chair
man of the State committee would ar
range a similar advertising scheme for
each of them but he has made no move to
do so. All of them deserve like treatment
at the hands of the Republican chairman.
Republicans in this locality would be bet
ter pleased if the Governor would give
more attention to the duties of the office
to which they helped elect him so that
requisition papers could be secured when
needed to prevent the escape of desperate
criminals and less attention to personal
politics. SO far as the chairman of the
State committee is concerned Republicans
ton to the work of carrying the legisla-
ture and helping to elect the four Republi-
can candidates for Congress. In other
words, if he is going to devote his time
and attention to Mr. Atkinson's interests
he should resign the craftsmanship of the
State committee and make way for some
body who is liberal enough and broad
enough to work for the whole party and
victory rather than single candidate for
Senator.

xrstvlc Endine o. Youngl Woman's Life
t tiotsl Was Probably = suicide
Charleston. w. Va. September To-
Lulu Thompson, young woman who
had for several months been employed
as pantry maid at tie Hotel Albert,
died yesterday morning in her room at
the hotel of morphine poisoning.
Whether her death was accidental or
not is matter of conjecture, which will
probably never be solved, but circum-
stances point suspiciously to suicide.
"Wednesday evening the girl sent one
of the walters at the hotel to drug
store to get her ten cents worth of
morphine, amounting to about six
grains. and it is supposed that she took
all of it. About ten o'clock she was
found in great pain, and a physician
was sent for. Dr. f. S. Thomas re-
sponded and made every effort to arouse
the suffering woman, but she failed to
get better, and died yesterday morning
at nine o'clock without having regain
ed consciousness.
So far as can be learned, the girl
had Animated to no one an intention Of
committing suicide, and it is not known
what, if any, reason she might have had
for doing SO. But the circumstances
under which the morphine was taken
seem to indicate that her intentions
were suicidal.
The girls former home was in Hun
tington, from which place she came
to accept the position which she held
up to the time of her death. A tele-
gram was sent to the chief of police
of Huntington informing him to COM
municate with her relatives in regard to
burial. The officer replied that her
relatives were not in condition to do
anything.

GOOD TO REMEMBER.

A good thing to keep before the people
is the terse statement of ex-senator Hen
~ G.. Davis, in his speech as temporary
chairman of the Democratic Congress
sional convention at Elkins, when he said,
among ether true things, Imperial gov
ernments claim that all power belongs 10
them. and that what the people have is a
gift to them. The Democrats Of our free
and independent government say that all
things belong to the people: that they are
the sovereigns. and that the powers pos
sessed by the government are delegated TO
it by the people"

A BUSY MAN.

Chairman Dawson explains that 1t was
to save time that he ignored the Demo-
cratic Congressional committees and the
usual party etiquette in arranging for his
great joint debate. The chairman is
very busy man. He is the Poohbah of the
administration. He is not only chairman
of the State Republican committee but
also of the Republican central committee.
He is likewise Secretary of State, and in
that position is eX-officio secretary of the
Board of Public Works, and, again, ex-
officio superintendent of public printing.
He is also principal owner and leading
editorial writer of the Mail-Tribune, and
certifies the bills of the public printer.
Time is an important item with Chair
man Dawson. He has many irons in the
fire, and some of them may be burned

Lynch because he is colored. The Pres
ident has taken no definite action be-
yond expressing approval of Gen. STAN
tons course in sending sharp dispatch
to the commanding paymaster at that
department, stating in effect that as
Major Lynch had been regularly COM
missionedl by the President as an
army paymaster, the troops must take
their pay from him or else go without
pay. Thus the matter stands with the
papers before the President. There is
the possibility that a new question may
arise on the point of INSTRUMENTATION in
refusing to receive pay from paymas-
tiers regularly commissioned to make
payments.

TO SIDE TRACK GOFF.
Atkinson and Scott Have Little Scheme
to Work in the Senatorial Contest.

to Work in the Senatorial Contest.
Moundsville Herald (Rep).
Republican sentiment in the state
seems to be overwhelmingly in favor OF
Judge Golf for United States Senator
From every section ofwthe State the re-
port is to that effect. In his judicial po-
sition Judge Golf cannot with propriety
become an active candidate, but of course
he knows what is going on and he re-
mains quiet while his friends are in
structing legislative candidates for him.
This will admit of but one construction
and that is that his action by his friencs
has mis- approval. Had it not he would
hardly permit his old time friends to
make themselves ridiculous by the course
they are pursuing, for there is nothing in
connection with his Judicial position mat
would prevent him from putting quietus
on the whole business if he wanted it set
tied that way. That he has not done so
is taken by his friends to mean that their
work has not been in vain. Commissioner
Scott and Governor Atkinson and their
friends have been positive in saying that
Golf will not accept nor permit the use
of his name, but outside of those gentle
men and their immediate friends ana
pushers nobody knows Of any such deter
mination on the part Of Judge Golf. If
what the Scott and Atkinson people say
is true. the matter resolves itself into
this peculiar and remarkable situation.
Those who are working to elect Senator
other than Judge Golf know his wishes in
the matter and have his confidence, while
those who are conscientionsly working to
elect him Senator and who. most Of them,
have been his lifelong friends and sup
porters, do not know his wishes are not
in his confidence and have msinterpreted
his silence in the premises. Is this likely?
Would Judge Golf act thus with old, tried
and true friends? We think not and all
who know and respect him will say no.
There is nothing in the situation yet 70
lead US to change our prediction that Con
will be elected Senator when the Legis-
lature meets.

Women. and the Wheel.
From the Gasette. Dslamor,. ohio

The healthfulness of bicycle riding
for women is still disputed question
between eminent physicians and health
reformers.
Used in moderation it surely creates
for women a means of outdoor exer-
cise, the benefit of which all physicians
concede. Used to excess, like any
other pastime, it's effect is likely to be
dangerous.
The experience of Miss Bertha Reed,
the i7-year-old daughter of Mr.. ]. R..
Reed, 3S5 Lake street. Delaware, O.,
may point moral for parents who,
like Mr.. and Mrs. Reed, have expert
enced some concern for their daughters
who are fond of wheeling. In the fall
OF '96 Hiss Bertha, who had ridden q
great deal, began to fail in an alarm
ing manner. She grew steadily paler
and thinner, and it appeared she was
going into consumption. Rest and
quiet did her absolutely no good. A
physician found her pulse at lO4-a
very high rate. Thinking this may

GOOSE BONE WHITE IN FRONT.
Corn Husks, Nuts and Fur Also Tell
of Hard Winter Coming.

According to Ezekiel Bonzy, who is
held to be one of the most accurate read
ers of gooses breastbone in Maine, the
coming winter is going to be shorter.
1t is TO start with a snowstorm, which
wall come in November, and the snow
will stay on the ground for the purpose
of catching and holding other snowstorms
that will arrive frequently and with great
vigor until about the middle of March.
Mixed in with the output of snow will
be hail, wind, and consecutive periods
of zero weather, which will cause a great
demand for overcoats and double mittens.
For the first time in eight years the
goose bone is white at the front end, in
dicating an early snowfall. AS the bone
of lS9S-99 is very wide and mostly white
over all its surface, Mr.. Bonzy infers
there will be deep snow and good sled
ding for fully five months. His conclu-
sions are well reinforced by researches
among corn husks, beechnut burrs and
the fur of animals, all of which are UNI
commonly thick and well laid on.
! Acting on Mr.. Bonzy's advice the lum-
bermen are planning to go into the woods
early, and operators are getting options
upon large areas of stumpage. For three
years past Mr.. Bonzy has predicted that
there would be no snow until after the
new year and has hit it right every time.
Therefore much confidence is placed in
his representations this year.
