DAYTON WINS.
Gets Thirty Out Of Thirty-Fiy Votes
In Preston County Result Jars up
The Preston Court House Ring.

Republicans of Preston county held
their convention on Saturday and it
resulted in the election of thirty Day
ton delegates to five for John w. Holt
of Grafton. Holt had expected to
carry the county as he had the court
house ring with him but when it
came to delivering the goods the ring
was not able to carry out their part Of
the contract.
The result is regarded as Shaw
victory. Leroy Shaw is the man who
mustered the Dayton forces and he Is
very happy over the outcome. He
was defeated for sheriff in the recent
primaries but won out in this the Sec
ond round Of the fight against the
ring which he is making.
Judge Holt of course controlled the
lawyers who were afraid not TO sup
port him on account Of his displeasure
while on the bench. This shows that
a Judge should resign his position ii
he desires another in the gift of the
people. Any man who does different
ly is lacking in the essential particu-
lars of man Of true worth.

Two men were met near the house
by Mr.. aud Mrs. Krepps who were
on their way to town but they
thought nothing ofthe circumstance
until they came back and found the
house torn up. The two men were
tramps and one of them was known
to Mr.. Krepps. They are strongly
suspected Of having committed the
robbery.
Sim Furepy of Allenport is the
man who was recognized. He is
about six feet two inches tall and
had on a brown stiff hat, black. The
other man was short and heavy. He
wore a brown soft hat and dark
clothes.
Investigation shows that they
had gone through everything in the
house. They took several suits of
clothes and watch besides every
thing else they could carry iuclud-
ing a revolver and several hand mir
rors. The total loss is estimated
by the members of the family at
about one hundred dollars.
The thieves were traced down the
river to Point Marion on Saturday
evening. They crossed at Collins
Ferry and then wSnt out through by
Rosedale and down Crooked Run to
the river going on down on the west
side. They said that they were head
ing for MasOntown TO work in the

HON. VIM. l.. WILSON

Says the Nominees VIII be Mckinley

Dewey.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April GOWN.
L. Wilson, author of the Wilson tar
if bill, while in this city en- route
from Hot Springs to Nebraska City,
Neb., where he is to be the guest of
J. Sterling Morton, his associate in
Cleveland's cabinet, said:
SIT is to be Mckinley and Bryan.
Mr.. Cleveland will not allow his name
to be mentioned, and Dewey will not
get an opportunity to see himself yot-
ed down.
bryan will be nominated, but con-
ditions are SO changed that the cam
paign will be on new lines. Both
sides have so many new conditions to
confront that the old tactics will not
do. 1 think the Democrats will win.
We shall 60 into the fight solid.'
Mr.. Wilson gave expression to his
views regarding the candidacy of Adj
miral Dewey.
s'He is innocent of the game of
politics. he said, ssand has bhndered
in his bluntness, as blunt people often
do. He will bluDder out of it again
as suddenly as he came in. Dewey
does things suddenly. He generally
anticipates, and when the row is at
its height he will surprise everybody
by sailing away, or / am mistaken in
the man."

There-No Further Meetings will be
Held This Year.
The fifth session OF the Manonga-
hela Valley Round Table convened at
Clarkshurg Friday and Saturday with
about 200 teachers In attendance
This session was the most largely at
tended Of all, and In point of interest
and enthusiasm was surpassed by no
preceding meeting.
Among the prominent educators of
the State present were Sapt. II. s.
Fleming of the Parkersbnrg schools,
Supt. Fleming and prin. Goodwin Of
the Grafton schools, Supt. Darnall of
Bpekhannon schools, Sapt. Evans Of
Fairmont schools, Prof. + e. McBee

Clarksburg, Weston, Salem and adj
joining towns,
Three exceedingly interesting SEES.
sions were held. Prof. Miller and
Prof. A. L. Wade acting as presiding
officers. A large number Of subjects
were discussed. Among the most im-
portant Of these was County Super.
vision upon which subject County
Superintendent Barnes a student of
the University from Greenbrier eoun-
ty, delivered an address which was
very much complimented; 1.-The re-
lation Of the Normals schools 30 the
public school system was very finely
discussed by representatives of the
various Normal schools and others
present, the consensus OF opinion be-
ing that the scope aud work Of these
schools should be enlarged, perhaps
at The expense of the University II
necessary.
Prof. Fleming Of Parkersburg deliy-
cred very thoughtful address upon
the subject Of Uniform High School
Courses In w. Va matter which
Is attracting much attention among
W. Va, High School men. One Of
the best talks of the meeting was
made by Mrs. Martin of the Morgan
town public schools upon the subject
Of sMothers Day Much interest
in this feature Of school work was
evoked by her address.
1t had been contemplated that a
rousing meeting at Morgantown should
close the sessions for the year, but
owing TO the fact that many public
schools are rapidly closing and teach
ers scattering for their vacation, and
the fact that preparations for Normal
School, High School and University
commencements will closely occupy
the time of many OF those teachers
whose schools are not already closed.
it was deemed best to defer any fnrth-
err meetings until next fall, Prof.
Miller being authorized TO convene
the next meeting at his pleasure.
The session was an exceedingly
profitable one, and all those In atten-
dance expressed themselves as highly
pleased with the results of the gather
ing.

Sunday Morning-Life Of Devotion to
Otheripe0pie-An Exemplary Young
Woman Who was Highly Esteemed.
Miss Ella Campbell most estima-
bic young lady living in South Nor
gantown committed suicide on Sur
day morning by jumping into well
on the premises. The act was COM
mitted while she was temporarily in
sane.
Miss Campbell was well known in
Morgantown and was about thirty
five years OF age. For number Of
gantown Schools and was esteemed as
one Of the best teachers ever engaged
in the work here.
Some years ago her sister Mrs. De-
main died and left a son Ralph.
Miss Ella resigned her position and
took the boy in charge devoting her
life to his care. During the illness
and death Of Mrs Cramer which re-
Gently occurred she was unremitting
in her attentions to the sick woman.
AS a result OF the nervous strain
incident to the sad affair she became
melancholy but her malady did not
become pronounced enough to alarm
the family.
They noticed that she was not her.
self but thought nothing Of It on ac-
count of the death that had just
taken place. On Sunday morning
she arose as usual and about six
O'Clock went out into the yard to get
a bucket of water.
She did not return and d search was
made for her Her bonnet was found
lying by the well along with the buck
ct she had taken out. Miss Jennie
looked into the well but saw no traces
Of her sister. She went oyer TO Lay
ton Coombs and found that she was
not there. The alarm was then given
and the well was dragged.
The search was rewarded by finding
the missing girl She was taken out
by Mr.. Coombs and Russ Huston
She had tied fiat iron TO her neck
and had sunk in ten feet Of water
at the bottom of the we'll The well
was very small at the top and she had
Sliu QOW IL icCb AISU IliIU Tile WdlGI
which was about ten feet from
the surface.
She had been submerged for half
an hour or more when found and it
was impossible to recuscitate her.
Squire Manliff Hayes empanelled
jury and after hearing the evidence
they brought in verdict that the de-
ceased had come to her death by
drowning herself while temporarily
insane. The jury was empanelled at
nine o'clock on Sunday morning.
The sad affair has caused everyone
about town to feel depressed. Miss
Ella was universally esteemed over
the town and surrounding country.
She had absolutely no reason for COM
hitting the rash act. Her thoughts
had been brooding over the state of
her health and it. is thought that she
was fearful that she would eventually
have consumption although there was
no evidence of any such disease affect
ing her at present.

Clair's and Explodes without Warn
ing-Mr. st. Clair is Burned Badly
Tearing off the Burning Clothes of
the Agonized Cock.
Shortly after noon on Monday
there was sgas explosion at st.
Clair's, Bakery and Restaurant
which seriously injursed Fred Car
diff and incidentally burned c. l.
st. Clair, the proprietor very badly
about the hands.
The cause of the explosion is not
known but it is thought that the
gas burner under the oven went cut
and allowed the oven to I'll with gas
which exploded with terrific force
when light was applied.
This however is guess work as the
cook is the only man who knows
how it occurred and he is IN too
much agony to tell what happened.
The noise of the explosion was
heard up stairs and Mr.. st. Clair
ran down into tue bake shop. Here
he found the cook mass of flame
In tearing off the burning cloth
ing in the effort to save the mans
life Mr.. ST. Clair was terribly burned
about the hands and arms and will
be incapacitated for some time.
1t is hard to tell just how badly
Mr.. Cardiff is burned but he is at
present in very painful condition
All of the skin ON his hands and
part the way up his arms has come
of. His face and neck suffered ser
iously. His hair was singed badly.
Drs. Fitch and Gibbons were
called Immediately to dress the in
juries. 1t is not thought that he is
fatally burned but it will be some
time until he is able TO resume his
duties.
Had there been more gas released
the explosion would have wrecked
the building. The oven was not very
seriously damaged.
