bRNE1T NOT A CANDIDATE
DENIES THE STATEMENT PUB
LISHED IL THE INTELLIGENT
GER YESTERDAY MORNING.
ANOTHER BREAK WAS MADE
In Saying That the Time and Place
for the Congressional Convention
Has Not Yet Been Eixed-It Will be
Held at Sistersvflle in August
Other Political Matters.

The Intelligencer yesterday morning
published an article under fiaring
headlines announcing that "Col. Arnett
will make the race for Congress in
this district The writer makes Col.
Arnett appear as receptive candidate
for the Office, but in so doing miscon-
strued his language, hich was not in
tended for publication and which sur
prised Col. Arnett as much as any
body else when it appeared in the In
telligencer.
Col Arnett stated in so many words
last night that he is not asking the
Congressional nomination, and does not
wish it. What he said to the Intelli-
gencer reporter was that he would
perform any service the Democratic
party would ask of him, but that he
did not ask, and did not desire the
Democratic nomination for Congress
in this district
Col Arnett made the race in a Re-
publican year against Capt. Dovener.
When he stated his willingness to
serve the party, he was simply giving
expression to a fact which is under
stood and appreciated by the Demo-
cratic leaders of the city and State.
Col. Arnett is veteran in the ranks,
and has never shirked or faltered in his
duty to the party.
The Misrepresentation of the posi-
ton of Col. Arnett was not the only
break in the Intelligencer article. 1t
endeavors to convey the impression
that Democrats are disposed to allow
the fight for Congress to go by de-
fault, whereas nothing could be farther
from the truth. They realize that with
the Democratic tendency of the times,
and the great disaffection in the ranks
of the opposition brought about by the
bull-dozing tactics Of the Dovener
crowd, the outlook for Democratic sue
cess is brighter than it has been in
many years.
The statement that the Congress
sional Committee has not met and
fixed a time and place for the conven-
ton, is untrue. The convention will be
held in Sistersville on August 18th,
and has been SO announced. The In
telligencer people will have to read the
Register to get the news.
So far as candidates are concerned,
a number of names have been sug-
gested, and the Intelligencer will have
enough to worry it after the nomina-
;e re fool tho
viction that the proper nominee can
win over Capt. Dovener in walk.

ing the Result of the Election.
The Republican Executive Commit
tee was in session yesterday afternoon
to canvass the vote of Saturdays pri-
maries. A number of the election Off

counting the ballots, SO it was impos-
sible to give out any information. How
ever, unofficial returns indicate the
nomination of L. B. Purdy for county
commissioner by plurality over c. b.

tons are the same as was given in

Last evening the best vaudeville
company that has been seen in Wheel
ing for some time opened weeks en-
gagement at the Wheeling Park Casino.
a good sized crowd was present and
the opening was suspicious, as all the
players were cordially received. The
show is clean and clever throughout
and made a decided hit. Falardo, the
instrumentalist, opened the bill in a
fine act, exceedingly novel in every
way He's a whole band in himself.
Laxon & Brookshept gave a pleasing
operate sketch, introducing a scene
from Faust" They were we'll receiv-
ed John and Bertha Gleason followed
in a dancing act which won the audi
ence. Then came a short intermission
and the second part was opened with
Patrice and her company in a bright
playlet, "a New Years Dream" 1t is
cleverly constructed and well acted
and the players deserved the curtain
call they received. Patrice made a
great picture. Miss Burnham, the So
prano, repeated her success of last sea-
son in the next number. She has a
beautiful voice and a charming per-
sonality, and was compelled to re-
Spond to several encores. De Biere
the slight-of-hand man, closed the pro-
gramme with very clever exhibition
of the mystic art. Tonight the pro-
gramme will be repeated and a big
audience is deserved. Every conven-
fence is offered the public by special
| motors, and popular prices prevail.

GOEBEI,S CAREER.
A Typical kentucky Politician and
Loyal to His Friends.

n iNpical hentuChy GOltttCiah anu
Loyal to His Friends.
William Goebel as politician may be
said in the picture phrase of old, to have
sprung from the soil. Goebel is n Ken
tucky type and the minor facts that he
was born in Pennsylvania and lived there
the first four years of his life, before
his parents took him to Covington. his
home ever since, do not alter this greater
fact that he is thoroughly representative
of the State in which he has become his
party's monarch.
Goebel secured his election to the State
Senate nine years ago, and he has held
the Office of Senator ever since. He ask
cd for no other elective Office except that
of appellate Judge in his district until he
announced his candidacy for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Governor. The
judgeship he could not secure as the con
ventOn came to II deadlock and he was
forced to withdraw. that being the only
defeat registered against him. AS Sen
ator Mr.. Gocbel is credited with much
important legislation. The present elec-
ton law Of Kentucky bears his name and
was passed by his efforts two years ago.
Outside of politics Mr.. Goebel won a
good name for himself in the practice OF
law. He is now in his fortieth year, but
as much as ten years ago he was consid-
cred one of the leading lawyers of his
part of Kentucky The friends of Goe-
bel regard him as "A man who is as in
tensely loyal To- his friends as he is impla-
cable to his enemies. Even the enemies
have little 10 say against him because OF
the shooting affair i'm which he killed Col.
John Sanford fifteen years ago. The trou-
BILE between the two men arose over a

TOWN OF LONDON.
Mountain Village to Which Gov. Taylor
Adjourned the Legislature,


London is thriving little mountain
town in southeastern Kentucky. 1t has
perhaps 800 inhabitants with couple of
hotels, several churches and good schools.
1t is about 1S0 miles from Louisville, on
the Knoxville branch of the Louisville
and Nashville Railroad. and is thirty or
forty miles from .Jellico. Tenn. London
is the county seat of Laurel. one of the
strongest Republican counties in the
State and the whole section is Republi-
can and bitterly partisan ut all times and
under all circumstances.
The town OF London is on the top di-
vide of the famous Laurel coal fields and
has been place Of more or less note for
many years. Ii was founded about the
beginning of the present century by Gen.
Peter Jackson, who went To kentu Ky
from Virginia with all his great wealth.
He gave the land for the site of the city
TO the county OF Laurel, but as the cOun-
ty was not financially able To build the
court house and other necessary buildings
Gen. jackson proposed that the county
deed him back the town site and he would
erect the necessary buildings. which was
accordingly done. He burned his own
brick and built the first brick house ever
erected in eastern Kentucky, it being the
old court house Of Laurel County, which
was torn down several years ago and Il
aew one built in its place.

CRY OF TREASON RAISED.
Exciting Debate Takes Place In tina
United States Senate.


Debate in the United States Senate.
ordinarily calm and dignified, burst We'd
nesday into passionate utterances and
bitter recrimnations. Senators hurled
denunciations one at another until the
auditors quivcred with excitement. The
debate grew out of phase of the Phil
ippinc question, and 40 scene has been
witnessed since the discussion Of the war
resolution in the last Congress which, IN
sensational features, compared with thar
of Wednesday.
Mr.. Pettigrew, who has precipitatcd
nearly all of the debate upon the Philip
pire question during the present session,
sought To have read resolution embody-
ing a document written by Emilio Agui-
naldo upon the Filipino nsurrection and
containing his version of the alleged rec
ogntion Of the Filipino republic by Adj
mira Dewey
Senator Lodge Of Massachusetts pro
tested against printing the document in
any form and read Il letter from Admiral
Dewey. in which that portion Of Aguinal-
dos statement relating 10 the admiral
was denounced as IA tissue of false
hoods" Senators on the floor listened
with eager attention and many gallery
spectators leaned far over the ratings in
their desire not to miss sentence. Mr..
Lodge said he preferred accepting
Dewey's word to that of Aguinaldo and
was satisfied the American people would
also.
In a passionate reply Mr.. Pettigrew
declared that Admiral Dewey had recog-
nized the Filipino republic and, although
afforded an opportunity heretofore TO de-
ny Agunaldo's statements had not done
so. In an instant half n dozen Senators
were on their feet. Mr.. Hawley, the ven
erable Senator from Connecticut. de-
nounced Mr.. Pcttigrew's action as trea-
son. In rapid succession Senator Petit
grew was made the target of stinging ar
raignments by Senators Spooner, Hawley,
Sewell and Gallnger. That the feeling
was at IA pitch seldom noted in the Sen
ate was evidenced by the pale faces OF
the men who spoke.
Mr. Jones (Dem.) of Arkansas and Mr..
Teller of Colorado endeavored to stem
the tide of protest and deep feeling by
conciliatary SnanphaS
