Extend Walnut Paving.

At a meeting Of council on Monday
night it was voted to extend the Wal
nut street paving to the lower end Of
the Franklin hotel. They can do this
and avoid all contention with proper
ty owners on either side of the street.
Below that the fuss has come over the
paving. 1t should not be allowed to
stop there as it will make a nasty
looking place to have the street re-
main unpaved for that distance right

Republican Congressional Con

Dayton Claims TO BE- Winner without
ANY Trouble His Claims are Dis

State That They have Made Snbstsn-

Thursday the Republican conven-
tion OF the Second District meets at
Terra Alta. There will be plenty OF
Monongalia people up there and they
will as far as the leaders can dictate
whoop her up for the denomination
of Dayton. This gentleman claims
that he is to be.nominated on the
fiist ballot easily and scouts the
idea OF successful opposition on the
part of those who would rather see
some one else get it.
However the events Of the past
few days have strengthed the hands
Of Meredith who is his chief oppo-
nent The latter has received ma
jority Of the delegates in Hampshire,
Mineral and Hardy counties. The
reports from these counties arc
claimed by his managers to be very
encouraging They concede moth
ing to DAYTON and state that he will
be defeated by Meredith when it
comes to show down in the con
vention
Holt and Pitzer will each have
some strength but they will not be
in it with either Of the leaders. Their
strength is claimed by the Meredith
boomers while Dayton states that he
is the second choice Of every dele
gate named for either of his oppo-
nents
The delegates instructed are such
small number that 1t can be any
bodies fight although it looks like
Dayton had it easily. He has all O.
the leaders Of The several county
rings with him and be seems TO be
taking it very easily. His Promises
to retire this time II given the pref
erence four years ago has been for
gotten and he is anxious to be
named again.

seems to be tayorite among the
Democrats for the nomination Hon.
w. G.. Brown, of Preston, is also
anxious to run again. Walker is
regarded as the stronger man in the

BELOW THE AVERAGE
Is stand OF Wheat Crops fer This Sea-
son-L Less than an Average Cop will
be Harvested Vegetation Greatly
Improved By Recent Rains Fruit
Prospects Good-LiYe Stock Doing
Well.


The monthly report of the State
Boerd o. agriculture, issued by Sec
rotary Garvin, does not take very
hopeful view of the prospects for the
wheat crop this year. OF all other
crops and live stock and fruit it is
more encouraging. The report says:
ssAbundant rains have relieved the
drought conditions over most Of the
State that universally prevailed dur
ing the early part OF the season, aud
vegetation has greatly improved, ex-
eept in few counties reported.
WHEAT.
ssReports concerning the wheat
crop are still variable. The rains
came in time TO develop the stalk and
I'll out the heads, but in the majority
of cases the stand is below The aver
age. Where a good stand is ported,
the fly seems TO have wrought more
or less damage 1t may be safe TO
predict that less than an average crop
will be harvested
OTHER CROPS.
1.-The condition Of corn and potatoes
and all garden crops are reported
good, and il the season continues ia
vorable to growth and development
we may expect much better crops
than the year previous. At least an
average number of acres have been
planted in corn, and If the crop prop
esly natures it will come in well to
take the place OF hay for wintering
stock. as the hay crop will be light.
STOCK.
''Stock of all kinds is reported as
doing well and only one case of sick
ness reported among cattle.
FRUIT.
'sErom all the information gathered
there will not be more than an aver.
age crop OF apples. At the time of
formation the prospects We're good,
but the frosts seam to have been the
cause of the app es dropping badly.
"Insect pests seem TO be contribut-
ing their share to the destruction of
this fruiC, and will likely reduce the
prospect very greatly where vigilance
and care have not been exercised.
There are very few counties but what
will have fair crop Of peaches.
Sin the extreme northwestern por-
tion of the State peaches were killed
before the blooming period, and no
peaches are expected, but this consti-
tntes very small area of the State.

TO BE INVESTIGATED.
The Charges Against Capt. Parsons. |
Qunrtermaster.

Major Thomas T. Knox OF the inspector
generals department has been directed by
the Secretary of War to investigate the
charges recently filed at the department
against Capt. +. Fl. Parsons Of the quar-
termaster's department. Chief Clerk Gibbs
and ForaGemaster Rhodes for alleged mis-
management of the affairs Of the quarter
masters depot at St. Asaph's. Va The
charges We're preferred by Messrs.
Rabbit and Marin, who We're formerly en-
ployed at that depot. They alleged general
maladministration on the part of Captain
Parsons and the two assistants named, in
the employment of government employees
and the use of government material in
purely private work. According to the
charges, Captain Parsons used government
employees and government material in the
repair and improvement of his private resi-
dence In this city. Captain Parsons has en-
tered general denial of the charges. The
investigation now being made by Major
Knox will determine whether there is
prima facia case against Captain Parsons
sufficient to Justify his trial by military
court-martial. The action taken by the
War Department in this case is in accord
ance with the usual practice.

KENTUCKY STATE CONVENTION.
Delegates to be Selected to Kansas
City Today.

LOUISVILLE. KY, June 1.-THE Ken
lucky democratic state convention Will be
called to order about o'clock this after
noon at Music Hall by Chairman Young
of the state central committee. Delegates
at-large to the democratic national con-
vention will be selected. No action will be
taken regarding the selection of candidates
for governor and lieutenant governor, a
state convention having been called to
meet at Lexington next month for that
purpose. 1t is believed there will be a sharp
contest for the temporary and permanent
organization of today's convention between
the friends of Governor Beckham and the
anti-Beckham forces. 1t is reasonably GER
tain that Senator 10 Blackburn, eN-Gov-
ernor James B. McCreary and Lewis Nc
Keown will be three of the four delegates
chosen for the state at large to the ma
tional convention. The convention will in
dorse the Chicago platform and Bryan for
President.
1t is reported this morning, although the
report cannot be confirmed, that Senator
Blackburn will introduce resolution in
today's convention requesting Governor
Reckham to call an extra session of the
legislature to repeal the Goebel election
law.

He Declares Money, Imperialism and

CHICAGO, June 1.-THE following state
ments by VIM. ]. Bryan and Cilaiiii ii g n
Jones OF the democratic national committee
were published by the Tribune today:
Money. Imperialism and trusts will be the
three great issues in the democratic plat
form. Money includes silver and paper.
Imperialism carries mitarism and the
Boer war. The contest in South Africa Is
one where Imperialism is now specifically
applied, and therefore it concerns the peo-
pie of this country. The Chicago platform
will be reaffirmed and the new issues that
have arisen added to its principles | have
not been asked by Senator Jones or any
body else to drop 16 to 1.
(Signed) WM. ]. BRYAN.
I believe that Col. VIM. ]. Bryan will
carry every state he carried in 1896, and
moreover will carry Kentucky and Mary
land. He has splendid chance in Indiana,
Ohio and New York. The great fight will
be in New York and Ohio. and we gained
in both states since 1896 The Pacific coast
is stronger today for Bryan than in 1886
Kansas and Colorado we will carry, and
the situation in the two Dakotas Is most
encouraging.
