Week of Festivities = President
Goes Away Pleased

Chicago, Oct. 20. - Chicago's peace
fete has passed into history. The myr-
lads of lights may glow for number
of nights, but the peace jubilee is over.
Notwithstanding the frowning skies
and drenching rains the great multi
.ude which viewed the pageant Wednes-
day and those who were privileged to
participate in the many features of the
jubilee will dwell upon it in the future
as a season when every other impulse
was made subordinate to patriotic ar
dor and heartfelt expressions of 10y
atty to the president. The demon
strations by the people and the utter
ances from the platform all were re-
markable in indicating the common
support of the conduct of President
Mckinley during the war and in all the
recent complicated issues. The greet
ing of railway men at the First Regi-
ment armory, which was the conclud-
ing event of the peace jubilee, served
to show that the esteem in which the
president is held is equally great
among all classes.
Inclement weather and impossible
roads interfered with the plans for an
illuminated demonstration by wheel
men Thursday evening. The bicycle
parade was called off because of the
continued jubilee weather." Although
the elements above conspired to dis
courage rising ardor and grand final
flourish, the president left the western
metropolis a I night with the conviction
that Chicagoans reserve large places
in their hearts for him.
Greeted by Railroad Men.
President Mckinley was greeted by
5000 members of the brotherhoods of
railroad men in the afternoon at the
First Regiment armory. 1t was. his
last public appearance in Chicago be-

Special Dispatch 10 the 1ntelllsenccr,
sISTERSY1LLE, Jan. 23.-Thcrc Is
not much OF sensational nature that IS
new In the scandal which has been exer-
clslng the public OF Tyler county and
which was mentioned In the Intelligent
Ger the early part Of last week. Glen
dening, tho speak.easy man fired the
FIRST gun In the matter, Is at present pre-
pairing statement OF his side OF the
case, and It will be made public in a
couple Of days. Both sides nre making
preparations for hard fight and when
the matter comes up before the circuit
court. which Il undoubtedly will, for in
vestlSatlon, there will be very warm
time.
Judge Frcer is now holding court at
New Martinsville and It Is known that
Prosecuting Attorney Strlckllng and o.
W. Q. Hardman were at that place Fri
day and Saturday, but for what purpose
Is not definitely known. At any rate,
your correspondent has learned from q
reliable source that they were given
rather chilly reception by the Judge.
From the same source II has been learn
ed that Judge Freer will say very little
about the matter. About the only ex-
preston he has given utterance to In
regard 10 the affair Is that no matter
whether the charges which have been
made against the officers by each other
are true or false. the whole matter
should be thoroughly Investigated. md
remarked that the circuit court would
make an Investigation.
A number OF people have seen Strick-'
ling and Hardman but so far no one
has been able to get them to talk on the
matter at all. a
Sheriff Pyle has expressed a desire to
have all his actions in office investIga-
ted and when the circuit court meets
will demand that an inquiry Of q most
thorough nature be ordered.
