Bay Scott, is having a tough time of
1t in getting a public office, and no
mistake. The party usually gives
Charlie a nomination when there is no
earthly chance of election, and pats
him on the back with promises when
chances are bright He aspired to a
seat in the United States senate, and
is big enough in brain and body and
heart to fill it with credit. but he has
no bari" He was satisfied to run
for House of Delegates, but even this
privilege has been denied him. The
party leaders forced him of the Wood
county ticket, in the interest OF har-
mony, so it is said. If this thing con-
tinues Charlie may shake the G. O. p.
and return to his first love.

A Serious Allegation.

A close friend and strong supporter
of Judge Campbell in his candidacy
for the Republican Congressional NOM
~ination, in discussing the situation in
the First district with a Register re-
furnish proof that Capt. Dovener's
friends secured the Wetzel county del
egation for him through promises Of
appointments as census enumerators.
THE methods which are being employ
ed are astonishing he said, ''and the
voters are not given an opportunity
to give expression to their choice. We
have had a sample of it in Ohio county,
but it is infinitely worse elsewhere"

Lewis and Letzendanner.

1t is expected that Marshall county
at the primary election next Saturday,
will select delegates favorable to
County Clerk E. NJ. Lewis for Auditor.
Mr.. Lewis is not making any claims,
but figures in the race as a dark horse
and will probably have his own coun-
ty solid.
The candidacy of Captain Henry
Clay Getzendanner, of Sh~epherdstown
is backed by the support OF his own
Senatorial district, according 10 Capt.
Getzendanner. He is conducting a
pictorial campaign. A number OF
prominent Ohio county Republicans
have received personal letters from
him, enclosing cards containing his
portrait. Getzendanner is one Of the
war Senators" and does not cut
much Of a figure in the race for Aud
itor.

Cooke VIII BE Elected.

After twice turning down the ap-
pointment of Chas. B. Cooke to be
City Engineer to succeed A. l.. White.
it now appears that Council will, at ats
next meeting. confirm his appointment
by the Board of Public Works. The
refusal to confirm was on the ground
that Mr.. Cooke is a Democrat, but as
a matter of fact few who voted knew
his politics. A paper was circulated
last week among Republican Council
men, and a sufficient number have
signed an agreement to CONFIRM the
appointment Tuesday night.

Judge John A. Campbell, of New
Cumberland, who is making an aggres-
sive fight against Capt. B. B. Dovener
for the Republican nomination for
Congress in the First district, is ap-
parently not an adept at the game of
politics. His closest friends say SO.
and admit that this fact may cost him
the nomination. Some Of them go a
step farther, however, and allege that
the practices which have been resorted
to in the present campaign, to secure
Dovener delegations, are contrary to
all precedent, and are tainted with
trickery and unfairness. Judge Camp
BELLS workers allege that the D~ovener
faction has set up snapper conven-
tons, and in various ways endeavored
to prevent a majority expression rela-
tive to the two candidates. 1t is also
charged that influences have been
brought to bear on the party newspa-
pers to favor Capt. Dovener, and to
deny the right of hearing to Judge
Campbell.
A Republican was quoted in the Reg
lister yesterday, as stating that there
will be at least ten Campbell delegates
from Ohio county. Another equally
prominent Republican, who is familiar
with the situation, made the predic-
ton that Marshall county will virtually
be solid for Judge Campbell.

JUMPED FROM A A
A Martins Ferry Man Sustained Se-
we're Injuries Yesterday.

we're Injuries Yesterday.
Yesterday morning Bert Pickens, of
Martins Ferry, boarded the early train
on the w. & L. e. for Burlington and
after the train had started he learned
that it did not stop at this station, and
he Immediately went to the platform
and jumped from the train, which was
going at a fast rate. He made a bad
jump and fell to the ground, his head
striking a grade post, which cut a large
cash over the left temple, extending
down to the eye.
His whole body was seriously bruis-
ed. He was picked up and taken to
the home of M. S. McGrew which was
near, and DR.. Ong was called and
dressed his injuries. The cut on the
head required sixteen stitches. While
his injuries are very painful, it is not
thought they are of a dangerous ma
ture.

Editor r. Add Hall, of the Weston
Independent and Editor Ormon RAN
dolph, of the Salem Express, are en-
gagged in a mud Singing controversy.
Hall charges Randolph with bleed
Ing" candidates, and Randolph calls
him an "unmitigated liar" a brother
to the SNAKE" a prototype" of the
"maggot," etc. The trouble appears
to be that Randolph is boosting Judge
Campbell in his paper, and saying
some unkind things about Dovener.
Randolph formerly worked in Wheel
ing, and is well known here.

J.. X. Hall Confident.


The claims which have been staked
by the aspirants for the Republican
nomination for Auditor overlap one
another, and for this reason the situa-
ton is very complicated. La Toilette,
for example, claims Doddridge as vir-
tually solid, while Hall alleges that he
has the promise of all but three of the
delegates-elect. Mr.. Hall said last
night that he vas too busy to give
figures, but" he said, "if the onven
ton were to be held tomorrow, |
would be nominated on the first bal
lot"
Some Of Mr.. Halls friends say that
La Toilette will be his strongest OPP
ponent. "Mr. Scherr started out with
the assertion that if he did not get 80
per cent of his own district he would
not be a candidate" said Mr.. Hall last
night. Then he changed the figures
to IS per cent, and he will get less than
that proportion of the delegates"
Hall claims a big slice of the Kama
wha county support and La Toilette
claims nearly all of Kanawha. The
same thing is true Of several other
counties. Hall expects to secure the
support of Marshall after the first or
second ballot. La Toilette won in
Hancock Saturday. and CLAIMS the
county. Hail, on the other hand, de-
cfares that he has inside information
to the effect that the county will be
for him.

heart, and in this connection, it is
interesting to know that the most ex-
tensive attempt yet made to use water
power on large scale is being carried
out on the St. Lawrence river in
northern New York state. The plant
at Niagara has capacity of $4,000
horse power. That on the ST. Law
renee, according to an exchange, is
expected to generate eventually three
times as much. Fifteen 5000 horse
power generators are now under con-
struction for it, and Is more are TO be
added later.
The power will be secured by
diyerting a small proportion of the
waters of the st. Lawrence through a
canal into turbines aud thence into
the Grasse river, which will carry-it
again into the st. Lawrence. Near
the town of Massena, n. Y, the
Grasse flows parallel to the st. Law
renee at a distance OF three miles
from it, and at an elevation of AZ feet
lower than that of The great river
of which it is a tributary. A head of
32 feet is available for power. Incl
dentally the canal, which will be 262
feet wide, may be used in connection
with the Grasse river as a ship chan
mel around the Long Sault rapids of
the ST. Lawrence. At these rapids
the river is unnavigable. and boats
passing through it between the lakes
and the ocean are obliged to use the
Cornwall canal in Canada. About
three-tourths Of the work on the canal
has been completed.
In the utilization of water power the
greatest expense co mes in distributing
the power at a distance. Electrical
distribution is still costly. A French
commission recently estimated that
water power could be furnished at the
average plant in France at the water
side at $40 per horse power a year.
At a distance of from-twelve to thirty
miles from the source of power the
cost is more than twice as great. The
industries that will use the St. Law
renee plant will be situated in it's i'm
mediate vicinity. One Canadian and
two American railways pass through
Massena, so that shipping facilities
are at hand.
1t is expected that water power will
come into more general use as the
need of economizing the coal supply
becomes more apparent. II this
proves the case there will be. a tend
ency to repeat some phenomena of
the industrial epochs before and after
the invention of the steam engine.
Industries will gather to water power
as they did in the eighteenth century.
With the advent of Watts invention
they withdrew to centers where labor
was plentiful and coal could be Sc
cured easily. When the distribution
of power by electricity, or compressed
air, or other means becomes cheaper,
there may be a corresponding move
ment in other directions.

THE ELECTION AND THE TRUSTS

1t is evident, from the action
some of the trusts which deal in the
necessaries of life have taken since
the election last week, that they feel
that the trusts were elected as well as
President Mckinley. They consider
Mr.. McKinley's reelection as an in
dorsement of trust methods and an
approval of trust robbery. They feel
justified in levying tribute upon the
consumers, ''all the traffic will bear''
in making democrats as well as re-
publicans pay back the millions they
contributed to elect Mckinley, with a
heavy profit. Therefore
The meat it's has increased the
price of their product one cent a
pound, which is a tax of $50, 600, 900
in one year.
The steel billet manufacturers have
formed pool and raised the price of
their products.
And last but not least
The salt trust has more than
doubled former quotations for table
salt, notwithstanding the salt trust
magnates, after swelling a fighting
fund, have been dividing 100000 a
month.
The increase in the price of salt
has been followed by an increase in
the price of hams, bacon, Goldfish,
mackerel and other food in which salt
is factor.

The contest between Mattoon and
Charleston for the location of the
county seat of Coles county has as
sumed a new phase. Two years ago
the board of supervisors, without
submitting the question to the tax
payers, spent $157. 900 on the court
house st Charleston. Then the board
passed resolution to submit at the
general election proposition that the
county should assume the indebted
ness. The proposition was defeated
overwhelmingly. Now citizens rep
resenting the west six townships are
preparing to give site and erect at
Mattoon a court house superior to the
one at Charleston free of cost to the
taxpayers. A petition is to be circu-
lated to secure the privilege of n
special election to decide the issue of
removal.

THE POWER oF TIE FUrURE.

The possibilities of water power
development constitute one of the
most important subjects now under
consideration in the three cities. In
deed, much of the hope that is enter
tanned for the building up of a great
industrial community in this locality
is centered upon the conviction that
sooner or later the waters of the
Mississippi-and Rock river, perhaps
will be harnessed into service for
the generation and transmission
of electric power from natures
forces. With the steadily in
creasing price of coal, it is not
unnatural that means of ofeconomic pre-
pulsion should furnish the main prob
lem that perplexes manufacturers.
That the three cities Will some day
and the quicker that day comes the
better-secure advantages in this
respect that are not common to most
industrial centers is conceded by
everyone who has given the all-ab,
sorbing topic serious consideration.
1t is one of the main projects that
should enlist the assistance and ener-
gies of all tri. city citizens who have
the best welfare of the community at
