DISTINGUISHED VISITORS
Hon. o. s. Mckinney and Col. e. L.
Smith In Charleston.

Hon. Owen S. Mckinney, speaker
the house of delegates, and Col.
Clarence l.. Smith, late lieutenant
colonel of the First West Virginia
Volunteer regiment, arrived in the
city yesterday from Fairmont says
the Charleston Gazette. They spent
the day here, stopping at the Ruff
ner, and were the guests at dinner
last evening of Mr.. and Mrs. w. A.
Ohley. Col. Smith left on the 6:29
c. d o. train for Lewisburg to give
his deposition in an important law
suit in which he is interested. Mr..
Mckinney remained here last night
and will leave this morning ON the
early K d NJ. train for Failmont.
The many friends of Col. Smith
will he glad to learn that his health
which has not been of the best lately,
is slowly improving. This will be
particularly good news to the legion
who had hoped to see him become the
Democratic nominee for Governor.
AT present Col. Smith is resting very
quietly and his interest in politics
is necessarily entirely passive.
Mr.. Mckinney is, of course, alive
to what little there is taking place
in the political world, but is not at
present pushing any personal ambi
ton. While it is possible and even
probable that he may at the proper
time announce himself receptive
candidate for Governor, he has as
yet given the matter little thought.
His final determination will depend
entirely on circumstances, personal
as well as political.

A Vigorous Democratic Journal.

The Verdict, the only illustrated
Democratic weekly journal in the
United States, is arousing an unusual
interest not only in the East but liz
the West. Its stalwart Democracy is
unquestionable. Certainly it voices
now the issues upon which the Demo
cratic party intends to go before the
people in 1900. 1t is rallying the
Democracy to the support of this 1906
platform:
An Income Tax.
A graded Inheritance Tax.
The destruction Of the political
power of the Trusts.
Public ownership Of municipal
franchises.
Its editorials. written by Alfred
Henry Lewis, are unusually frank in
statement. The Verdict's cartoons,
printed In colors, sum up pictorially
the editors views of National and New
York affairs. There are character
and individuality Ia the cartoons that
are as refreshing as the yigor of the
editorials. The Verdict gives prom
ise OF being the oracle Of the advanc.

JOHN o. SAMPSEL DEAD.
Deceased Was Brother Of Geo. l..
SampseI.

From the Beatrice, Nebraska, Ex-
press we get the following relative 10
the death of Mr.. John o. Samsel.
He resided here for time and his
wife was Miss Caroline Davis, a sis
ter Of James A. Davis. Here is what
the Beatrice paper says:
A distressing accident occurred yes
terday afternoon about o'clock in
which Mr.. John o. Sampsel, an aged
and respected citizen of Beatrice, lost
his life while out at his farm, which
is located eleven miles southwest OF
the city. just how the accident hap
pened in which the unfortunate man
lost his life, no one can tell.
From what can De learned of the
sad affair, Mr.. Sampsel left the city
yesterday morning to visit the farm,
which is now occupied by one of his
sons, U. S. Sampsel, expecting to re-
turn home to-day. In the afternoon
he hitched his team to a wagon and
drove to the field to gather some corn.
He had probably been In the field sew
erar hours, when the team he had
driven away came tearing up to the
barn without driver.
OF course young Mr.. Sampsel was
badly frightened at not seeing his
father in the wagon, and as quick as
possible he drove the team back TO
where his father had been at work.
There he found the old gentleman in
sort of sitting posture, but still
alive. The dying man told his son he
was injured internally and requested
drink of water. The young man
drove to the house and soon returned
with his sister, but Mr.. Sampsel was
beyond all hope and died just as his
children reached the spot where the
fatal accident occurred.
The body was taken to the house
and Mr.. w. w. Scott, the undertaken,
was afterwards notified. He went
out last night and returned home this
morning at O'Clock with the remains
which were later prepared for burial
The superstition is that Mr.. Samp-
sci lost his life while attempting to
get into the wagon whichwas partial
ly loaded with corn, and in attempt
ing to do so, the horses became fright
ened and ran away, the wagon pass
ing over his body. Some think one
of the horses either kicked or tramped
on him, as large bruise or wound
was found on his right side just above
the hip joint.
Deceased was we'll known in Beat

1.-THE laws of West Virginia, OF
some Of them, must have been passed
wholly for mercenary purposes, said
a Uniontown man who bad taken in
Chadwick Day. ''For instance they
don't have licence in Morgantown,
but speakeasies are as numerous as
bees at a molasses barrel and in con-
sequence there is lots of room for
bribing. On Chadwick day it was nc
trouble to get all you wanted. All
you had to do was to go into a place,
get what you wanted and 60 about
your business. They were run nc
more secretly than a saloon in Union
town is, and the funniest thing Of all
about the business is that the officers
occasionally notify the proprietors to
be little more careful and not run
things SO openly"

70 the meeting of the state lodge OF
knights of Pythias have returned
home. In the party that came In
were John NJ. Gregg, Col. S. A. Poster
aud George Vangilder They were
very well pleased with their enter
tainment in the first city and were
loud in their praises Of the hospitali-
| ty extended to them.
The attendance was the largest that
has ever been witnessed at a similar
affair ia the city Of Wheeling. Sc
great were the crowds that On one oc-
easion they broke through the ropes
and stopped an impressive drill that
was being given on the streets. After
this the uniformed rank was station
ed along the sides of the streets and
they kept the people back better.
The next meeting OF the grand lodge
will be held in Morgantown. The
vote in favor Of this place was nearly
unanimous. Only one other place
asked for it and this was Elizabeth,
Writ county. Several other places
wanted it but they soon found out
that Morgantown would be successful
and they drew out. The sentiment
in favor of Morgantown was very
strong even before anything had been
done by the local representatives in
favor of the town
The election OF officers resulted In
the election of the slate or in the reg
ular rotation that has come into prac.
tice. Not single Morgantown mar
was elected to any position as it was
not their turn to get anything. Col
Posten has been holding the highest
position in the gift of the state fol
the past year and retired with honor
from the duties OF the position. His
closing address was considered very
able production and was delivered very
well.

get the knights. 1t will de us lots Of

men in the city. They are full of en-
ergy and they will spare no pains t.
make the sessions the most notable

He does not appreciate West Virgin

hardly expect, through words, to re-

acter, psychology, in a word civiliza-

conceptions that they have never yet,
In their complex totality, been thor

of the West. There are those who,
disdainfully thrusting aside the can
ons of perhaps too exclusively ma
terialistic age, boldly assert that, all
things considered, the japanese civil
cation is superior to that of the oc-
cident. No knowing person could
really question that, whether superior
or inferior in type to our own, it has
been far more highly perfected. /
myself believe that our own type OF
civilization is superior to the Japan
csc. l am equally confident, however
that we might profitably learn much
from the Japanese. That Japan

recklessly, rejecting their own Qn
