the Battle, which the Doctor
Stoutly Denies.
William E. Curtis, the well known
corresponds Of the Chicago Record,
who recently passed through the city
returning from trip to Billings via
the Burlington, publishes an article in
the Record descriptive of the Custer
battlefield, part of which follows:
THE Custer battlefield needs atten-

occupies the scene of the massacre OF
fifteen officers and A247 men Of the Sew
enth cavalry, is about two miles from ON !.
the Crow agency, and the stone house
erected for the custodian and the grim
shaft Of granite which marks the spot
where Custer made his last stand are
visible from the Burlington railway
station and the agency buildings. I
drove over there this morning behind
IA sturdy team and in a handsome
wagon hired from Bear Claws, who
keeps a livery stable at the agency.
The cemetery is at the summit Of
a ridge 800 feet above the level of the
Little Big Horn river, and the soil is
as dry as a bone. Mr.. Grover, the
custodian, is compelled to haul nearly
all the water he uses because the gov.
ernment has left him at the mercy of
a cistern and the rainfall is infrequent
and uncertain. Congress might make
an appropriation to drive a well and
erect a windmill so that there might
be a supply Of water to irrigate the
soil of the cemetery and sustain a few
trees ito relieve the barren and hfeless

The Case of Colonel Petit.
West Virginians have been inter

West Virginians have been inter-
ested in the case Of Col. James S. Pet
tit, commander of the 3lst Volunteer
Infantry, now on duty in the Philip
pines, because of a court-martlal which
he has been subjected to. Col. Petit,
il will be remembered, was Colonel of
the immune regiment in which sever
al West Virginia Companies had a
part during the Spanish war. and is
regarded by our soldiers as an officer
of the greatest ability and highest
character-a soldier, every inch of
him. The Army and Navy Journal
gives the following facts of the incl
dent:
Colonel Pettit's regiment was sent TO
Mindanao after General Bates had made
his treaty with the Sultan under in
structions to do all he could to keep the
chiefs, or do anything to bring on trou-
HE and he must of necessity be the
iudge as to what this required OF him.
A highwayman was brought In ana
turned over to Colonel Petit. The
presidente, the local chief, represented
that as the offence was civil one ne
was the proper custodian of the prison
or. Transfer from the military to the
civil authority being usual it was MADE
in this case. Colonel Petit left to meet
an engagement he had to dine on board
the u. S. S. Yorktown. No sooner was
he out of hearing when the presidente
killed his prisoner, testifying on oath
when examined that Colonel Petit had
no knowledge of his intention to do SO.
Under the local law the Sultan and his
chiefs have power over life and death.
On another occasion Colonel Petit went
unarmed into a Filipino camp and ran
somed a prisoner in their hands. rms
is made a further cause OF complaint
against him, but not, as we understand
it, before the court-martial
The result of the court-martial is
not yet known, but it seems unlikely
that it will end in anything but JUS
tifcation. Col. Pettit's. position as
head of our forces in Mindanao is
delicate and trying one, but the sim
pie bravery and soldierly instincts of
the man is guarantee to his friends
that he will be vindicated when the
facts are understood. AS the Army
and Navy Journal say, Colonel Pet
tit is too we'll known as an officer of
ability, high character and sound
Judgment" to be affected by these
charges.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an lnflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eu-
stachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can DO taken
out and this tube restored TO its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever: nine cases out Of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

SOMEHOW or other there's no keep
ing down the old sectional feeling
and we reckon it will always exist.
Last week certain Grand Army posts
in Philadelphia entered vigorous pro-
test because it was proposed to erect
a monument over the graves of some
dead Confederate soldiers in nation
al cemetery in Pennsylvania, and in
Louisville about the same time there
was row among the Sons of Confed-
crate Veterans over proposition to
carry the United States flag in the
procession beside the Confederate
colors. We commend to our unrecon-
ciled brethren Of both sections the
speech OF President Mckinley at An
tietam last week, when he said
Il am glad to meet in this presence
and on iniS memorable field the follow
erS Of Lee and Jackson, Of Lonestreet
and Johnson, together with the follow
ers of Grant and Mcclellan. of Sherman
and Sheridan. You are greeting not
with arms in Your hands or malice in
your souls, but with respect and atfec-
ton in your hearts The achieve
ments of the war are tho heritage as
much of those who prevailed as of those
who failed. Two years ago the men OF
the North and the men of the South
We'd with each other to show their de-
votion to the flag. Sons of followers of
the Confederate flag fought side by side
in Cuba, in Porto Rico and I'm the Phil
ippines In the Philippines today they
are dying side by side together for the
flag which represents, more than any
thing else in the world, the hope and
Inspiration of mankind.

Democratic State Convention.

The Democratic State Convention
met in Parkersburg yesterday with
the largest attendance ever known at
a political gathering in this State.
This was due more to the interest IN
the United States Senatorship, State
ticket and the Legislature than to the
Presidential election. The convention
was also reunion of factions that
have not been in harmony for some
wears. The convention was called to
order by Hon. Andrew ]. Edminston'
of Weston, chairman of the State Com
mittee, who reviewed the reverses OF
recent years, congratulated the West
Virginia Democracy on being enthusl-
astically united, and arraigned the adj
ministrations of President Mckinley
and Governor Atkinson. After pray
err by Rev. H. G. Henderson, former
Senator Henry G. Davis was made
temporary chairman and R. E. Horner,
editor of the Parkersburg Sentinel,
temporary secretary. Chairman Davis
made strong plea for harmony and
the avoidance of extreme or radical
declarations on which there might be
serious differences of opinion. Sena-
tor Davis eugolized Bryan,whose name
was most enthusiastically received.
The convention adjourned until
go when the permanent organization
was announced as follows: Owen 5.
Mckinney, of Fairmont, for per-
manent chairman VIII A. Stickler,
of Richie county, for permanent Sec
rotary; R. T. McNichol, of Wheel
ing, for sergeant-at-arms; j. K. Me-
hen, of Parkersburg, for doorkeeper.
Vice-President--F First district, Thos.
S. Riley second, c. Wood Daley !;
third, W. A. MacCorkle; fourth, Ran
kin Wiley.
The afternoon session was devoted
to speeches from the chairman, form
er Governor Atkinson and others.
Much time was also devoted to
preparation of a platform, to nomina-
ting candidates and arranging for vo-
ting.
At the night session of the conven-
John H. Holt, of Huntington, was
nominated for Governor. He received
.4S9 to ASP votes for Judge L, n. Tav-
ener, but his nomination was not made
unanimous.
A platform was adopted indorsing
Bryan and the Chicago platforms and
pledging support to the Kansas City
ticket and platform. 1t denounoes
trusts, imperialism, the Porto Rican
tariff, the Philippine war, militarism'
the recent financial act of Congress,
the increase of the standing army and
the administrations Of President Nc
Kinley and Governor Atkinson. Sym
pathy was expressed with the Beers,
the Nicaraga canal was strongly IA
vored, and a strong resolution was
adopted against recognizing the old
Virginia debt in any form.
During the speeches presenting
names for the nomination of Govern
or there were repeated scenes of dis
order. 1t was openly charged that
Parkersburg friends of Judge Traven-
ner had packed the hall with "root-
ers." The chairman finally called for
the police. The balloting was de-
layed for over an hour and was fire.
quently interrupted.
