The man who said in strict
earnest that Edward O. Wolcott
was too big for the state Of Colo
RADIO, needs a thumb screw pre-
scription for his think pot. When
Colorado gets down to Wolcott's
level, there'll be more than a poli-
cal earthquake. This fall will de-
termine the magnitude of Welcott
and the state. We think the hons
ors will be easy for the state.

The Journal and World Of New
York, representing an influence
almost immeasurable, will support
William Jennings Bryan for the
presidency. Arthur Peugh Cor
man, democratic leader Of Mary>
land, and David B. Hill, the II am
a democrat" leader OF the upper
county New York democracy. will
support him also. What William
c. Whitney will do matters very
little, together with that stool
pigeon Gen. Simon Buckner Of the
gold democracy. Many Of these
elements were against Bryan in
1896. With these elements solidly
supporting him Bryan has a greater
show of success than when last
fighting the great national battle.

UNANIMOUS CHOICE.
A Paper Containing One Hundred
and Seventy-Five Signatures to
Mr.. Wheeler's Petition.
Mr.. S. N. WHEELER:

Mr.. S. N. WHEELER:
We, the undersigned patrons of
the Grand Junction Public Schools
appreciate the good work you have
done in the interest of public edu>
cation, respectfully petition you to
reconsider your decision and stand
for reelection to the school board
of our city. Never in the history
Of Grand Junction have our schools
been conducted with greater har>
mony and success to all concerned
than during the past year and we
deprecate any move that may tend
to destroy the harmony that now
prevails with the present school
board, while there is nothing in the
office to remunerate you for your
services, we feel that in view of the
success you have met with and the
hearty support you are receiving
from the entire community you
should forego some Of your per>
sonal interests and respond to the
Tazewell Republican. [volume] (Tazewell, Va.) 1892-1919, 1900-04-12
Show Your Appreciation.

1t is conceded by all persons who are
informed that Tazewell is now being served
by splendid electric lighting system. No
Improvement has ever been made in the
place that is more useful. The town has
been truly brought from condition of
darkness to light, and none but the evil
inclined would like to return to the former
condition, when pedestrians found it not
only difficult but even dangerous to travel
the streets. We are al glad to have the
town splendidiy lighted and would not be
willing to go back to few coal oil lamps,
that onlv served to confuse and not to help
us travel the streets OH dark nights. Yes,
the electric lights are a great blessing, and
our reople are very proud of them. But
there is a doubt as to whether the I'M
provement is fully appreciated. There are
a number of citizens who have not become
patrons. They nave failed to show their
appreciation by having lights put in their
residences and busin,s ss houses. The re-
suit is that the Electric Company is not
being sustained as it should be. We know
it to be a fact that the company Is barely
making running expenses, and are recelv-
ing no profit on the capital invested. This
is unfortunate, and every effort should be
made bv the town and citizens to have
the enterprise succeed in every way. The
Messrs. SPOTS have gone along extending
and improving the system, without one
word of complaint. The service has been
of the very highest order, and it will not
be reduced in efficiency.
We are informed that it was the pupose
of the town council, whose term has just
expired, to relieve the Electric Company
from all water rents for one year at least.
The new council which has just been
organized would do well to carry into exc
cltion the purpose Of its predecessor. We
know such action would be endorsed by
all public spirited citizens.
We make an appeal to our citizens to
stand by and help sustain our splendid
electric light system. The private houses
ought all to take the lights, more of the
stores should be supplied with them, and
all the churches ought to have the lights
Show your appre citation of the enterprise
by becoming a paying subscriber. When
YOU have once taken the lights, and enjoy
ed the comfort derived therefrom, nothing
would induce you to do without them.

AWFUL WORK
! OF THE FLOOD.
Austin, Texas, Without Water or Light
As a Result of Wreck of the
Power House.
RIVERS IN THE STATE SUBSIDING.
Not Much Danger Now of General Flood
Crops Washed Out, But There is
Time TO Replant.

Austin. Texas, April S.-Fully thirty
thousand people gathered today at the
dam and power house stationed north of
this city to witness the ruins of the plant,
which cost this city 81 10000 a few years
ago.
The waters of the Colorado River were
still plunging and foaming around the
wreck, eating away the big pile of granite
which once formed the dam rs though it
was nothing more than chalk rock. So
fierce was the current that great bOulders
were carried half mile from the dam, be-
ing rolled over and over by the turbulent
tide.
The power house, which sucCunbed to
the terrific wash of the water, at . o'clock
this morning lies, mass of wreckage, on
the edge of the river or badly damaged by
the falling timbers of the power house.
The wreck of the plant is complete. The
situation in the city is the most serious.
The wreckage of the plant means that 1t
will take several weeks to secure even
temporary water and light system, if it
can be made possible even then. In the
meantime the city will be in bad sanitary
condition. All the hotels, private resi-
dences. stores and the like are without
water, and there is no fire protection.
Churches were unable to hold services to-
night for want Of light, and all public
meetings were abandoned. The daily
newspapers are handicapped in their pub
lications, being deprived Of their electric
power.
The river is falling tonight.
Reports from the neighboring country
ale to the effect that everything is under
water Hundreds of head of cattle have
been drowned and miles of fencing torn
down and washed away.
While It is believed the worst is over,
the loss as estimated tonight will exceed
So 600 900, counting Austin as the largest
loser The list Of drowned, according to
report up to tonight is limited to those
reported last night, all Of whom lost their
lives here when the dam broke.
A mass meeting of the citizens is called
for tomorrow in order that some steps may
be taken 10 relieve the situation.

"Fourth. That we declare it to be false
that General Walker was defeated by Re-
publican votes, or on account of any loss
of prestige with the true men of the party;
and we declare all statements to that effect
to be untrue.
"Fifth. That we hereby endorse and
recommend Gen. James A. Walker for
election by the state convention as one OF
the delegates at-large to represent the
State of Virginia at the National Republi-
can Convention which meets in Philadel-
phia on the 18th day of June, 1900"
On motion of H. Peyton Gray, of Pu'
laski, the nomination of candidates for
delegates to the National Convention was
then proceeded with. The names of Stuart
F. Lindsay, E. A. Hoge, A. P. Gillespie,
&. Z. Goodell and J. D. Honaker were
placed before the convention. There was
but one ballot, which resulted in the elec'
ton of Messrs. A. P. Gillespie and Stuart
f. Lindsay as delegates to the National
Convention. Mr.. r. Nj. Caliee, of Pulaski,
and Robert Blair, of Wytheville, were
elected alternates. General Walker had
taken the floor to second the nomination
of Mr.. Calfee as one of the alternates, and
upon the invitation of the convention pro-
longed his speech beyond the five minute
limit which had been fixed as the time for
nominating speeches. He was cordially
and enthusiastically received. the manifes-
tations shown by the large number of rep
resentalive men in the meeting proving
clearly that General Walker still remains
fret in the affections of the Republicans of
The Ninth District If there was any hos
tility present it went down before the wave
of enthusiasm that swept over the conven-
ton for Walker.
The convention was pronounced one OF
the most harmonious and successful ever
held in Virginia.

AMAZING ACTIVITY OF B0ERS.
They Are Making Preparations for
Great Battle Near Bloemfontein.

London, April 9.-The Amazing activity
of the Beers southeast and southwest Of
Bloemfontein continues, the Boer COM
mandoes going and coming throughout Il
wide region apparently as they please, but
they take care not to throw themselves
against strong bodies of British troops.
The retirement of the Irish Rifles from
Rouxvlle to Aliway, leaves Brabanl
without communication with the other
British forces. He has from two to three
thousand colonlals in a fine defensive
country, but so far as London is concern
ed it knows that he is invested.
Telegraphlc and railroad communication
with Bloemfontein is kept up as usual but
nothing comes through, for publication.
The latest press dispatches from Bloem-
fontein say Roberts has $1,000 cavalry
now. Two fresh cavalry regiments be-
sides ten thousand Of remounts have
reached him.

END OF THE WADLEY CASE.
A NoIIe Prosequi Entered in the Wythe
County Court.

Wythevlle, Va, April 9.-When the
Wadey case was called in the County
Court today, the Commonwealth attor'
ney entered nolle prOsequl and Mr..
Wadey was released. Mr. III. Nj. Heus-
er, the Commonwealth attorney, stated
that, according to his understanding OF
the opinion of the Court Of Appeals, the
value of the Cannonchee bonds substitu'
ted by the accused for the assets of the
company was the most material point IN
the case and must be proved by witnesses
speaking of their own knowledge; that
to do this witnesses had to be procured
from Georgia, the doniicile of the Can
nonchee company. Though they had at
one time promised to come, at the last
moment they had refused to do so. Be-
ing beyond the process of the court, he
could not compel their attendance and
saw no other course than to nOlle pros
the indictment.
Mr.. Wadley received the announce
ment, which terminates the prosecution
so long pending against him, with the
utmost calmness.

MIDOLESBORO HAS TWO MAYORS.
Feeling is Bitter ard Governor Taylor
Expects a Call for Troops.

Louisville, April Ex-Governor Taylor
is expecting call for troops by the su-
thorties at Middiesboro. The trouble is
caused by two 90 ernments being set rp,
each mayor claiming an election. Special
policeman Mosley shot Deputy Charles
Cecil, last night, and was himself shot
dead by an unknown person. The feel
