Governor Smith has had the nerve to
refuse to interfere in three hangings. He
also had the nerve to refuse to interfere
in the senatorial case. whenit was hanging

The Inter Mountain has never changed

Admiral Dewey. It seems somewhat
out Of place. regardless of the side he
runs on. for his sphere in life is the very
antithesis Of a political one. It will be
supremely ridiculous for the democrats
to nominate Dewey ON a platform de-

The Wheeling Druggists Association
met yesterday afternoon a, the cham.
Der OF commerce rooms in regular
monthly session. for the purposa Of
hearing several committee reports and
arranging for an outing.
The new oficers. President John Kla-
ri: Vice President L. A Lallanca; Sec.
rotary w. c. Gordon. and Treasurer
John Coleman. were indicted into OF.
fee. The reports OF the COMMITTEES were
Of a private nature and were not made
public
The most important feature OF the
meeting was the revenue stamp cues.
ton. which was discussed With great
interest. 1t was reported that the peti.
ton of the local association had been
sent to Congressman B. B. Doyener
who had presented 1t in Congress, but
in some unavoidable manner 1t was
laid over, on account Of more important
measures which have been pending fer
several weeks. The members OF the as.
ISOLATION feel somewhat relieved with
the positive assurance by Congressmu
Dovener that the matter would be Oz
of the first measures to be considered
at the next session OF Congress.
A local druggist speaking of the rev.
enue tax said that 5000 druggists are
affected throughout the United States
and statisticians have placed the pro
ratio Of expense from revenue stamps
at $50 per druggist. while the speaker
himself stated that there were several
local business men who sacrificed $50
in this manner. While this amount
does not appear large. it is quite an
item 10 the retailer. who Is compelled
to pay the price oS the stamp and yet
he cannot advance the price on regula-
ton price goods.
1t is probable that the local associa-
ton may devise means OF sending an
influential lobby TO Washington to at
tend the next session Of Congress in
the interest OF this measure. and pro-
tests viii be filed by druggists assOcla-
tons in other cities.
An outing was decided on. TO take
place at Wheeling PARK next week. the
arrangements OF which were placed In
the hands OF AIr. John Coleman, whose
reputation as an entertainer Is not
confined among the Pill rollers. Bowl
ing will be a feature.

THE NAVAL PERSONNEL ACT.
cides Adversely to n COntenti0a
of the Navigation Bureau.

Washington, June 7.-Judge AdvO-
cate-General Lemly has decided ad-
versely the contention Of the naviga-
ton bureau that, in making retire
ments of officers under the terms Of
the personnel act, the officers should
be retired III accordance with their
rank, no lieutenants, for instance, be-
ing retired until all of the eligible cap
tains had been retired. The judge advo-
cate general holds that the intent Of
the act was to prevent wholesale re
tiren ents in one grede which might
be disastrous to the service, wherefore
the law specified the number of or
GERS which should be retired in each
grade. The decision is practically a
reaffirmation of one professionally
adopted at the outset of the applica-
ton of the personnel act.
