platform at very moderate cost is a
veritable privilege. There will be two
lectures. two musical entertainments

The Republican pl imaries to elect
delegates to the congressional conyen-
ton at Martins Ferry on September
18th, will be held this eyning. The
delegates are supposed to be OF Mr..
Weems, own selection, and therefore
no contests are likely. There was some
jostling in the Third and Fifth wards
to get on the ticket, but differences
were finally patched up and only one
set of delegates will be presented to
voters in those wards. In the Third
ward there was a compromise, and in
the Fifth men were selected outside Of
the contending factions.

rows and Donald Mcdonald.

Yesterday Theo. Neff loaded a car
with fine specimens of agricultural
products and shipped them to Column

Neff has ever sent up to Columbus, and
it is certain some first prizes will be
captured. Mr.. Nen's large poultry eX-
hibit, which has been at Canal Dover

A citizen who ayers he has no
friends to reward or enemies to pun
ish,' says Il am wholly Indifferent
as to who furnishes light for the city.
My only desire, since l am a tax payer
and have to bear my share of the bur-
den, is to have the best results at the
least cost. l am not in favor of an in
ferior service, just because it is few
dollars cheaper. That would be poor
economy and unbusinesslike. Council
has right to use discretion and this
believe it has done in the interest of
the people of our city, and the MEM
bers should be commended rather than
criticised While the Independent is
harping on what it terms the sQuander-
ing Of $1,000 of the peoples money each
year, why does it not explain who
saved the city $500 annually? Why
does it not say who has placed COM
mercial and domestic lighting within
the reach of every one and insured the
city a service every day in the year? 1t
looks to me as though the Independent
is simply posing as an obstructionist.
1t condemns the new electric light
plant and a new city building, and
jumps rough shod onto the citizens
committee that recommended the pur-
chase Of the property to make the con-
struction of the latter possible. Ac-
cording to it, Council is wrong, the
citizens committee is wrong, every
body is wrong that advocates improve
ment The people, however, do not
agree with the editor and the bugaboo
of cheaply lighted homes and decent
city building does not brighten them a
whit

DENOUNCES GEN. MILES.
COmmissary General Eagan Causes
= Sensation in the War Inquiry
-Censured by Commission.

Washington, Jan. 13.-Commissary
General Eagan, in the course of his tes-
timony before the war investigating
committee, called Maj. Gen. Miles, COM
handing the army, liar who lied in
his throat, lied in his heart. lied in
every part of his body" who ''perpe-
trated gross scandal and who should
be drummed out of the service and, i'm
prisoned," land should be avoided by
every honest man and barred by every
club" He characterized his interviews
as filth"
The subject in controversy was Gen.
Miles already famous 'embalmed beef"
testimony and the letters and docu-
ments supporting it. Gen. Miles had
charged that the canned and refriger-
ated meats sent to the army in Cuba
and Porto Rico were unfit for use, that
they were preserved by the use of
chemicals and that they had been
bought and sent to the army under
pretense of an experiment" This re-
Election upon both the ability and hon
esty of the commissary department.
had angered Gen. Eagan and caused
him to request to be recalled to reply
to Gen. Miles charges. That his state
ments concerning the commanding
general were not the result of a sudden
outburst of passion was clearly shown
by the fact that Gen. Eagan read his
remarks from carefully prepared type
written copy.
Washington, Jan. 14.-The war in
vestigating commission Friday passed
resolution of censure of Gen. Eagan
for the language he used Thursday
when he appeared to answer the
charges made against the commissary
branch of the army by Maj. Gen. Miles
and returned to him the carefully pre-
pared typewriter statement which he
left with the commission after reading
it to that body. With its return was
sent letter explaining the reasons for
this action and a copy of theresolution
passed.
The following is the text of the letter
ordered by the war inquiry commission
to be sent to Gen. Eagan:
washington. D. c., Jan. 10, 1ss9-Brfg
zen =. +. Eagan, C0mmiSSary General,
War Department.: We respectfully inform
you that after your testimony was read
yesterday the following resolution was
unanimously passed:
Moved. That the commission receive
Gen. Eagan's testimony without comment,
that it be not printed at once, but held for
the consideration of the commission. Car
ried.
Having now considered the questions
involved we have determined that in many
instances the vituperative language used
by you was not such as ought to have
been addressed as witness to this board.
We think that the personal attacks and
irrelevant statements contained in the pa
pers submitted should be eliminated, and
before receiving it testimony we re-
quest that you will revise it's language and
if you choose resubmit it for our considera-
ton. We herewith return your papers.
Very respectfully,
