STRANGE LEGACY.
Senator Scott Made His Will
While he Was Sick Here.
Left One Hundred Thousand Dollars to
Elect A. B. White Governor-Con-
ference OF Big Politicians Here May
Be Explained BY this Statement From
Parkersburg.

Be Explained BY this Statement From
Parkersburg.
The Parkersburg Sentinel con-
tains the following interesting arti-
Gle which has Morgantown for its To-
Gus and the illness of Senator Scott
as evidence to back it up. The ar
ticle in question is as follows:
A story comes from Morgantown,
in such direct way that its truth
fulness cannot be questioned, which
shows more plainly than any words
could show the remarkable interest
which at least one of the Republican
Senators of this State is taking in
the candidacy of A. B. White for the
Governorship. And, politically, the
interests of Scott and Elkins are
identical.
Senator Scott was taken sick
while at Morgantown attending the
Chadwick sword presentation exer-
cises and he was really much more
alarmed about his condition that APP
peared from the newspapers. He
was very sick man, and he knew
it. 1t was feared that his illness
was OF such nature that he might
not recover, and in this condition he
sent for lawyer, had his will drawn
up and signed it.
In this will he left large sum of
money, reputed to be 100000, to be
used for the purpose of securing the
election of A. B. White as Governor
of West Virginia. The exact amount
of the bequest and the person to
whom it was left cannot be stated,
but it is said to be absolutely true
that very large sum was left for
the specific purpose Of securing or
attempting to secure Whites cleo
tion.
And yet they say White is not the
candidate of the bosses. Elkins says
he is not interested in the candidates
but will be for any ofthem. Scott says
heis taking no part in the selection of
candidates. But an interest thu.
survives life itself and suppc RI
that leaves cash to be used even af-
ter death are the kind that most
candidates would be glad to get
Queer legacies have been left by
many queer people, but it is safe to
say that the Governorship of a State
was never bequeathed by mortal before
nor has political Office ever been re-
ceived as a legacy in the land of the
free. Scott's will may go to probate
before the election, but the voters of
the State will break the will If 1t does
and bestow the legacy on some other
man.

here as noted in the paper of that day
has finished his labors and gone from

He expressed himself as very much
pleased with the work that is being
done and the outlook that is before
them.
The staff was complimented highly
for the able manner in which they
were pursuing the different lines Of
work which they had taken up and
they were told that they had in the
opinion of DIR. True as much on hands
as they could successfully manage.
Their line of work was also compli-

He made careful examination not
only of.the investigations being made
but of the entire equipment which
had been added in the last year of the

as very we'll satisfied with the change
in farms from the old one to the new.
The new one is very much better
adapted to the use of the Station than
the old one and he was very much
gratitied over the examinings.
The books and vouchers were found
to be in excellent condition and they
were also complimented by DR.. True.
He has seldom found Station that is
as good much less better than the one
here and to the able staff which has
il in charge this very satisfactory con-
dition of affairs must be asscribed.
The United States has a very close
oversight Of the work of the various
Stations and of the monies that comes
into their hands and he is sent out by
the Department to look into the way
that things are being managed at the
various places. 1t is matter of con-
graduation to everyone that he found
things in as fine condition as he did
at the local Station.

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in
the civilized world. Your mothers
and grandmothers never thought of
using anything else for Indigestion or
Biliousness. Doctors were scarce,
and they seldom heard OF Appendi-
citis, Nervous Prostitution or Heart
failure, etc. They used August Flow
er to clean out the system and stop
fermentation of undigested food,
regulate the action of the liver, slim
ulate the nervous and organic action
Of the system, and that is all they
took when feeling dull and bad with
headaches and other aches. You
only need few doses of Green's Au-
gust Fower, in liquid form, to make
you satisfied that nothing serious is
the matter with you. Sample bottle

TIMES are always "hard'' with a
certain class of people. They are
as much pinched when times are
easy as at any other time. When
they have plenty they are more i'm
provident than at other times if such
is possible.
