expense account to his father, Mr.. j.

it shows that Gordon is not only in
dustrious, but a good financier. From
June Dist to September LIST, he had
spent $73.25. During that time the work
he did in the shops amounted to $19.26.
So he had balance in his favor of

his father has the money and would pay
any deficit that might arise.
Gordon will be 81 years old in Dc

such a pledge was only oil upon

Mr.. Wood knew that was the
thing needed for that body, hence
the pledge of 1900. Then Mr..
Wood was feeling good, just hav-

These things properly weighed

JOHN C. WOOD
Nominated For Railroad Commits

At Richmond last week our
townman, John c. Wood, was
nominated by the Republicans as
their candidate for Railroad Com
missioner. The opposition spent
much time in a vain effort to con-
solidate their forces against the
Mt. Sterling man, and when the
9th ballot was called the tumble
took place, every candidate get
ting from under. Mr.. Wood was
then unanimously nominated, feel
ings for the present were curbed,
and every one tended like they
were more than pleased. After
Mr.. Woods speech accepting the
nomination, the body flung their
hats in the air and belched forth
in strains Of eloquence that tested

is to illustrate that statement of
Mr.. Hardin, Il am the logical
candidate" What do the people
think Of this ingenuity Of a
man who once led a victori-
Gus party to defeat2 Willing is
he to take the chances Of again
dashing the Democratic boat on
the same rocks as he did in 1906.
To US that picture illustrates this
thought; Hon. p. Wat Hardin
would push aside the background,
Bryan and Blackburn, with all
chances against him, for only hope
cherished that there is a PROBABLE
ity he can be elected if nominated.
Do the people want such a man
for the head of the Democratic
ticket? Will they have him?
These attacks on Stones sound
ness on the mouey question are
not fair, neither are they honest.

err his own tracks. Who is Har-
din? What was he as Attorney
General? Who did the work for
the State? Who drew the salary?
Who got the extra pay2 Did
Wat Hardin have even an office

has he ever accomplished at any
time? Who was it by incincerity
in accepting nomination with a

IMPORTANT TO MINERS.
Decision by the Acting Secretary of
the Interior.

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Washington, March 24-The acting
secretary of the interior rendered a de-
cislon to-day that is important to
miners. The statute requires that no.
tee of an application for patent for
a mining claim shall be published for 90
days and also that all adverse claims
shall be filed during the 60 days of pub
LEGATION. Heretofore. the mining regu-
lations have provided that when notice
is published in a weekly newspaper 10
consecutive insertions are necessary:
Under this rule the 10th insertion al
ways occurs on the Gath day, which is
after the expiration of the period re-
quired. In the decision rendered to-
day the secretary holds that the time
fixed by the statutes for publication
and for the filing Of adverse claims is
go days and that the existing regula-
ton undertakes to enlarge this period
and is for that reason inconsistent with
the statute and of no effect. In effect
1t is said that the land department can
not by regulations change the statute.
The secretary therefore approves the
publication in this case which covered
the full period of 60 days and included
nine insertions in a weekly newspaper
In another case the secretary holds to-
day that an adverse claim filed after
the publication has been running for
GO days cannot be recognized, even
though it was filed before the 10th in
seriton in a weekly newspaper.
