Mrs. Charles McBee. daughter OF
Warren Dorsey was probably fatally
injured on sunday afternoon. She
had gone into ali ont buildirk when
it tore loose from its supports and
started down a high cliff like bank.
The bank was about sixty feet high
and very steep. The building struck
three times in the decent and each
time it turned completely over holding
Mrs. McBee a prisoner. She was not
released until in the last revolution
the door flew open and she was thrown
out on her face into the drain at the
foot of the bank. The building stop
ped door down In several feet Of water.
She was unconscious when she
struck and nearly drowned from the
water into which she fell before she
was taken out by some of the family
who had seen the accident.
DR.. Page Gibbons was called and
hc went out at once. He found the
patient badly injured from the terri
bic shaking up she had received and
he feared that she was Injured inter-
Dally. The latest advices to-day are
to the effect that she is better
and that her chances are much better
for recovery than at first thought.
She was visiting her brother when
the accident took place. The family
live on the old home place near Dor
sey's school house.

SOME DENIALS.
Later denials of the Wilson
story are not so strong.

Yale people say some very nice things
about Prof. Wilson-He has made q
favorable impression there-Denial
from Prof. Wilson himsfIf-Howeve
they all may have been made for Il
purpose How The matter stands
now.
The matter Of the election 81 Presi
dent w. l.. wilson to the presidency
of Yale college was warmly denied by
the people there at first but the later
denials sent out have not been so pos
tive. The last one is something like
this.
NEW HAVEN, Conn, Jan, Ire
ports that the former postmaster gen.
eral William L. Wilson, was the latest
to be suggested for the presidency Of
Yale was not surprise to Yale men
In New Haven. He was one of the
special lecturers In the Yale law
school last year, and attracted much
attention. He has many warm per-
sonal friends in the Yale faculty an /
is admired by Yale men as one Of the
most scholarly men of the country.
Whoever has brought forward Mr..
Wilson's name, however, has done so
unofficially. AS yet.the Yale corpo-
ration has taken no steps toward
choosing a successor to President
Dwight. The corporation is in favor
of allowing the matter to be freely
discussed before any official action Is
taken.
The above speaks very favorably Of
the old congressman from this district
and does not go the length that some
Of the earlier dispatches did.
The secretary of the Yale corpora
tion says that no choice has been
made and none will be made for a
month yet. Who will be chosen then
of course he cannot tell.
Prof. Wilson himself says that he
has not been chosen or at least that
no tender of the position has been
made and that he has not accepted
the place.
At the same time it is thought that
all The denials have been made be-
cause the report has gotten out pre-
maturely. Many people think that the
appointment is on the:tapis but that
those who are moving in the matter
do not want their plans to be given
away. They think that the appoint
ment may be made later. And so
we all hope 1t will be.

1t had been the intention to move
the office on Saturday night but
this has been found to be impossi-
BILE. The renting of the boxes has
been such slow job that the office is
not ready to be moved. 1t will be
transferred some time next week and
this will depend on the completion
of the arrangements which are neces
sary to be made before the removal
can take place.
The force in the Office could do all
that is to be done before the removal
in a short time if they could give all
the attention to it but they have to
keep up the regular work at the
same time and it makes no small
Job of the matter However it won't
be long until the new office will be
in full blast.

GRANT TALKS.
Says he is Against Bosses and
Bossing Of All Kinds.

Is for Dark Horse. Tells Why Stur-
giss or Fast, Of dargant0wn, Would
Make Good Timber--s Dispatch to
the Pittsburg Dispatch Tells About
Some Things OF Great Interest L0-
cally.-Nen Candidate for Senator.
The Pittsburg Dispatch has pub
formation affecting local people:
The failure Of the Republicans to
harmonize upon any one man, and the
chaotic conditions existing, leads
many 10 believe that the man TO get
the Sena t0r-ship has not yet been
named There is an apparent desire
on the part of some Republicans who
are opposed to bossisrn to support
some candidate who is free from any
factional ties. For that reason they
are refusing to agree to an early eau
Gus and are holding back. They
figure that II a good, clean man be
named the Republicans would get
together.
THE LEADER OF THE REVOLT.
Representative Grant, of Morgantown
is leading the revolt against both Scott
and Atkinson. He comes out fat
footed and declares himself opposed to
any candidate who has the marks of
ringism or bossism on him. He says
it is just as natural for him to fight
this class OF politicians as IL is for a
duck to take to water. Senator Fast,
also from MorgantoWn, is unpledged
for any candidate So far in the field.
There is a probability that in order to
effect harmony the Republicans will
determine upon such candidate as
suggested by Grant. In a statement
he said:
IA caucus will amount to nothing
unless all of the Republicans agree to
stand by the person agreed upon for
the nomination. The majority on
joint ballot is SO small that they must
be unit, and this can never DE with
the present candidates. There are
men in this Legislature who cannot
be bought, and it is very apparent to
me that some other man than has been
named must be brought into the field.
To my mind, and that of several other
cans can never unite upon either Scott
or Atkinson. A dark horse will be
named, probably at the last moment,
and will carry off the honors.n

First West Virginia.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 16-Rep-
resentative Dayton to-day received a
communication from the war depart
ment informing him that the First
West Virginia regiment of soldiers
had been ordered to be mustered out
and it is expected the order will be
carried into effect within thirty days.
1t is intimated at the department
that all regiments now in the field,
with single exception in the list fol
muster out, will be disbanded at the
camps where they are now located.
The West Virginia delegation will
advocate a change in the order as con-
templated especially so far as it affects
the regiment from their state, and
will endeavor to have the men sent
home for muster out.

CARNEGIE LOOKS TO BRYAN.
Says the Nebraskan could defeat the
treaty II he would only fight hard
enough.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-Andrew
Carnegie was an interested listener to.
dayto Senator Mason's speech. He ex-
pressed the opinion the ratification Of
the peace treaty might be defeated,
and said it certainly could be If Mr.
Bryan would come out in opposition
to it. eff he will only advise his fol-
lowers to fight in the pass and not in
the open." he said, "the treaty is GER
tain Of defeat.
"All that hear indicates the in
crease of the opposition ranks, and l
am quite encouraged to believe the
ratification of the treaty can be defeat
ed. This is the opportune time for
those who oppose expansion to do
their work. Only a one-third vote is
required to defeat the treaty, whereas
with the treaty ratified we will have
to secure majority to make our views
effective. Hence l say that this is
the time for Mr.. Bryan and other an
ti-expansionists to make their fight
Hereafter we will not enjoy the advan-
tage over our opponents that we now
do, having then to meet them in the
open field"

MASTERING OUT:


A letter has been received at the ex-
ecutive Office from the United States
adjutant general relative TO the re-
quest for the discharge of Chas. B.
Spencer, of Company X, First West
Virginia regiment. The adjutaDt
general expressed his willingness to
secure the discharge of Spencer. but
said that the regiment would be soon
mustered out and that by being re-
leased now Spencer would lose a
months pay that he would get by re-
naming in the service until the whole
regiment is discharged. Under the
orders made, officers and privates are
allowed an additional months pay
when they are mustered out. This is
given those who serve in this country
and two months pay is allowed those
who have seen service outside of the
country.
There has been but one man in the
First regiment who will come under
the latter head, and that is VIM. T.
Crawford, Of Wheeling, who served
on General Brooke's staff in Porto
Rico. The regiment will undoubtedly
be mustered out in camp at Columbus
Georgia, as rule has been issued for
the soldiers who are home on furloughs
to be mustered out wherever they
may be.

He was addicted to drinking and was
intoxicated wheR found. He was
taken to the home of Mr.. Staggers
for time and later sent to the Coun-
ty Home, as his condition seemed
quite serious. His feet were so badly
frozen that on Sabbath last it was
necessary to amputate both of them
one being taken off above the ankle
and the other at the instep. The
operation was performed by the Coun-
ty Home physician DR.. t. L. Blair,
DR.. j. t. Ullom, and DR.. Cloud OF

is the mountain state will prevail In

A Grateful Mother Writes this Letter
Tells all about Her Troubles when
Baby Broke out with ScrofuIa Sores.
cat the age Of two months, my baby
began to have sores break out on his right
cheek. We used all the external ap-
plications that we could Think or hear Of,
to no avail. The sores spread all over ono
side Of his face. We consulted a physi-
clan and tried his medicine, and in week
the sore was gone. But to my surprise in
two weeks more another scrofulous look
ing sore appeared on baby's arm. 1t
grew worse and worse, and when he was
three months old, began giving him
Hoods SarsaparilIa. I also took Hoods
sareaparilla, and before the first bottle
was finished, the sores were well and have
never returned. He is now four yearsold,
but he has never had any sign Of thosa
scrofulons sores since be was cured by
Hoods f3arsaparilla, for which feel very
grateful. MY boy owes his good health
and smooth, fair skin 70 thia great med-
icine." MIA 8. =. Wnoxnu, Farming

Rural Mail Delivery at Fairmont.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 16.-
Representative Dayton and Postmas-
ter A. Fl. Fleming were at the post
Office department to-day to solicit the
establishment Of several postal routes
In the vicinity Of Fairmont under the
rural delivery system. They were en-
couraged to believe their request will
be complied with, and 1t is probable
an inspector will be directed to 60
over the ground at an early day. BY
the establishment Of the routes a large
population will secure the1delivery OF
mail daily at their homes in the coun-
try, instead of to each individual in
person from the Fairmont Office.

A 400 barrel Greene county gusher.

A new 400 barrel per day gusher
was brought in last Wednesday in the
Former field, Greene county which is
likely to prove one of the best wells
ever struck in that territory. The
new strike is located on the John Cary
farm, now owned by Tim Ross, and
is situated in direct easterly direc-
tion from the best producers In the
field. The flfty-foot sand was reach
ed last Saturday evening week ago,
and started to flow at the rate of
about thirty to forty barrels per day.
AT that time the owners OF the ven
ture were somewhat disappointed at
the outlook, but decided to penetrate
the sand to greater depth. The
drill was again started and Wednes-
day afternoon the big strike was
made.
