Pacific, nearly 2,700 miles west of Hon
olulu and IN the doorway of Manila
1t is known as Marcus Of Weeks, and
is more than half way to the Philip
pines.
The island belongs to Captain Fos-
ter, commander of a sailing vessel ply
ing between the orient and San Fran
cisco They found it while out cruis
ing and took possession. 1t was at that
time unclaimed and unoccupied. By con-
sent of James G.. Blaine. then Secretary
of State, the American flag was hoisted
over the island and still remains there
the same being sanctioned by Great
Britain and all the powers.
The island is in PA north and 1912
east. It is about five miles long, and is
densely covered with trees and shrub
berry. 1t has a white. sandy beach and
near the center is knoll rising about
200 feet above the sea.

Honolulu to Yokohama, and has been

uoh. refer TO Hon. Ben H. Butcher, of
Wood county. He was educated at Fair
mont State Normal school. graduated at
Marietta college, and at the law school
OF Columbia University. Was a member
of the Legislature of West Virginia
when very young man. beating ex-Gov-
ernor William E. Stevenson, the candidate
of the Republican party. Subsequently he
went to Colorado in 1880 and by reason
of his brilliancy and activity of intellect.
was elected a member of the House of
Representatives of that State, and ulti-

His great abilities were duly appreciated
elected District Attorney of the Ninth
judicial district of Colorado III health
caused him to return to West Virginia to
recuperate, and he quit the practice of
law, and has gone out upon the farm to
earn his bread by the sweat of his brow.
He has ever been a strong. uncompromis-
sentative of the laborng classes-the
common people. Has ever been opposed to
all trusts and combinations against the
interests of the business men and the far
mers.
Mr.. Butcher having been born and rear
ed in this county, is known almost to
every man in the county. and therefore, is
very popular. He can command the
largest support from the Republican party
of any man in this section of the district.
because of his integrity and fidelity to the
peop.e. And l submit that as this end
of the district is entitled to the candi-
dacy this year that Mr. Butacher is the
proper man to select to rally our hosts
against our Republican friends. Mr..
Butcher is a very able and eloquent
speaker and the Republicans cannot bring
a man in the district who can cope with
him upon the stump: and I am of the
opinion that he is the man that should be
nominated for Congress at the coming
election. We need man of learning and
brains-not a nonentity who has only dol
lars TO commend him.
Respectfully,
A DEMOCRAT.

M1|iqan, Wi|kin & Co,
We have several good Sec
Inland Pianos which we
offer you at your own price.

Croix dor is rare wench for cleaning
news"
To this Philippe answered doggedly:
Women know nothing truly, curse
them. They make up tales; they will
not own they have naught to tell"
After this they rode on in silence.
They took no more heed of Gillonne
than if she had been a bundle of goods
on the horse that bore her. When they
slackened their pace to mount another
hill, she looked round at Gasperad
Did | understand you to say the
King is not at AmbOise?"
He gave her an insolent glance.
Likely enough you did, mistress;
the news has been common talk ever
since we left St. Breuc. You might
have seen messenger bring tidings to
the Count Of Laval as we rode away
from the town. Poor Philippe here
gathers up news when the rest Of the
world has done with it,"
Philippe looked uneasy; he heard his
own name, but he could not make out
the rest. He glanced first at Gillonne,
then at Gaspard.
THE King will have gone to Mou-
Inns to learn the truth" Gillonne said.
"He is ever on the side of mercy"
GaspaPd again looked at her with
all the insClence he felt at have been
degraded to take charge Of an old wo-
men, as he called Gillonne. He had
taken a fancy to Anne, and he had
promised himself some pastime with
the young girl; he laid Ei8 disappoint-
ment to Gillonne, and he was very surly
with her.
Say you so. mistress? You seem
learned in the ways of Kings! 1t will
be a long ride to Moulins for your
LADY,
Gillonne took the alarm he intended
to give her.
do you mean that my lady will be
taken direct to Moulins, instead of to
Amboise?"
She could not entirely hide her dis
may and the soldier laughed loudly.
Cheer up, old girl. Your pretty
lady is safe with our Count, | warrant.
When he has finished the business he
has in hand belize he will wed her,
and take her with him to Laval. You
may be sure the King will sanction the
marriage" He again laughed brutality.
Gillonne would not answer; she was
glad that the rapidly-failing light hid
her face. for she felt that it must show
her angry feelings. She thought she
had been unwise in leaving her mis-
tress: her plan might after all fail, for
it was possible she might not find Rol-
land do Ia Touche at the Chateau
d'Orbec.

POSTOFFICE INSPECTORS,
And Not Congressman, VIII Be Relied
Upon in Locating Postotfices.

Upon in Locating Postotfices.
WASHINGTON. u. G.. June 27.-The
new principle governing the location of
postofflces of the first, second and third
classes recently laid down al the Post
office Department is. that while Senators
and Representatives in Congress will be
expected to make recommendation and
give advice to the department with re-
spect to the location of postoffices in their
own home cities or towns, the department.
while inviting advice and information
from men in Congress, will act upon the
re port of postoffice inspectors in locating
all other postoffices.
So many Congressman have been drawn
into unpleasant controversy over the loca
ton of postoffices throughout their dis
trict that many have desired to be re-
lieved of this unnecessary trouble and the
department has found itself involved in
many political and social controversies
which were altogether unnecessary. and
which initiated against the public as well
as the postol interests. Congressman are
in position to assist the department with
information in the location of postoffices
at their own homes, and they will be in
vited to do so, but when it comes to the
final decision of locating postoffices in all
other places the Postoffce Department
will exercise the executive function vest
ed in it, and act upon official information
received through the Postoffice Depart
ment.
