These animals owe their origin as

Tchestmensky-he who, on behalf Of
Catherine H., played the chief part
in strangling. the unfortunate Peter

his stud operations, which resulted in
the fast and flashy trotters that are
named after him. ~ :>sss e.

ovsky, in. ST.. Petersburg. American
professionals are greatly in evidence,
but work under immense difficulties
owing to the bitter jealousy Of Rus
sian trotting men,. All the races are
run against time, and are therefore
very tame from spectacular point
Of view, while so little excitement do
they cause that not single paper
publishes the winners names.
When driving a trotting horse in
q sulky, the. driver usually sits on his
horses long tail, to keep him steady
in his gait. All the driving horses of
Russia, by the way, have long tails.
The coachman of an ordinary Russian
carriage takes no trouble to prevent
the reins from dropping about his
horses hind quarters. In spite of
this, however, the reins rarely become
entangled with the tail, and even if
they should do SO the horses never
kick. This striking fact is an elo-
squent answer TO, those who. uphold
the cruel practice Of docking ashorse,
on the grounds that otherwise he IL

| The conferees named by the Demo-
Gratis in Hancock, Brooke and Ohio
counties, met yesterday at Wellsburg,
and nominated John Kunkle, of Lazear-
vile, as candidate for the Senate In
the First district, which embraces the
counties named
The meeting was well attended, the
three counties being well repre-
scented. The conferees assembled in the
morning and discussed the situation.
Brooke county was entitled to the nom

OF long standing in both political par
ties. Three names were under consld-

conferee, had a letter from Col. Alex.

writer stated that he could not, under
any circumstances, consent to be can
'difate Mr.. Wiley Beall, who has been
prominently mentioned in connection
with the nomination, is in New YORK,
but his friends stated that he was not
candidate for the place.
The convention was called to order
at one O'Clock in the Office of Attorney
Frank Chapman, by Mr. Curtis, OF
|Wellsburg. R. S. Kincheloe was chosen
as chairman, and Mr.. Frank Chapman
as secretary A Brooke county dele
gate nominated Mr.. John Kunkle, OF
Lazearville, and he was seconded by
both Ohio and Brooke counties. NO
other nominations were made, and Mr..
Kunkle was nominated by reclamation.
Chairman Kincheloe appointed
Messrs. Curtis and Ebberts a commit
tee to notify Mr. Kunkle of his nominal
ton, and to escort him to the conven-
ton. They returned in short time,
and Mr.. Kunkle briefly expressed MS
thanks, and promised to exert every
effort to secure his election.
The nomination of Mr.. Kunkle
makes the race for the State Senate IN
the First district present some peculiar
features. Mr.. Samuel George ST., the
Republican nominee, was fought by Or
ganized labor because OF his connection
with non-union glass factories, and IL
was only after the plant In which ne

county conferees was withdrawn.
The Democratic nominee, on the 9TH
er hand, is a practical glassworker and
| strong union man. He has always
| been a member Of the American Flint
| Glassworkers' Union, and is prominent
| in the order. He has worked In glass
i factories in Wheeling, Moundsville and
Bellaire, and is well known here. Mr..
Kunkle made an excellent impression
upon the conferees from Ohio county,
and all of them are Of opinion that his
record as a union workingman will give
him many Republican votes, and Will
probably overcome the Republican ma

EAST OF THE CITY rs SUFFERING
FROM WATER
FAMINE.
Residents Mt LeatherwoOd, Echo
Point, WOOdsdaIe and Pleasant
Valley are Very Much IncOnvien-
ed - DepIorabIe Condition Of
Wheeling Creek.

The suburban residents are suffering
from a water famine. All the consum-
ers in Elm Grove and along the Ma
tional Road as far west from the town
as Leatherwood are short of water sup
ply. This district is supplied by the
Elm Grove water works. 1t is owing
to the continual drouth that the pre-
vailing circumstance exists. The stage
of water has become so low that the
stream is practically dry. Excepting
the holes along it's course there Is no
water at all.
Friday night the supply became no.
ticeably shot for the first time, and all
day yesterday the water barely trick
led out of the pipes when faucets were
turned on.
The water works at present is depend
ing upon it's supply from three wells,
which can last but a short time.
1t is the season for equinoxial rains and
the people who are Inconvenience are
hoping that the weather will not con-
tinue dry much longer. People at
Leatherwood, Echo Point and Pleasant
Valley are depending entirely upon pri-
waite wells and pumps.
One gentleman, who lives at Echo
Point, said yesterday afternoon, when
seen concerning the matter, that it was
the intention of greater number to
have connections made with the city
water works, unless the trouble was
rectified shortly.
There can be no relief from the situa-
ton until there is rain. The condition
Of the creek is deplorable at all points
as far as the grove. The worst section
is from the mouth to point just be-
yond Fulton. Chicago river is nothing
as compared to it. All the refuse from
the slaughter houses and fertlhzing
plants in Fulton Is run directly into the
stream, and as it now stands the water
is in a worse condition than if it were
stagnant. The situation along the
eastern and centre portions OF the city
are most conducive to sickness.

Showing $50 Words as Written by
Students at the Elliott School.
Teachers of position writing systems
of shorthand often exaggerate on the
size of Gregg outlines in order to show
their own system up to better advant-
age, but hundreds of Pitmanic teachers
and writers who have changed to Gregg
shorthand, claim it to be even more
brief and more legible than the ones
discarded. By Pitmanic we mean
every system that is written in two,
three or more positions, and in which
light and heavy characters are used.
We print here an article of over $50
words and have indicated over a dozen
commas and periods in Gregg short
hand. While this matter is much more
difficult than business letter, any one
in our dictation classes can read it
readily.
