SENATOR ELKINS HERE.
Senior Senator is a Visitor in
Morgantown.

He Came Here TO Look Over his Hold
ings In This Place-Captain Davis
Elkins is with Him Nothing In Sem
sational Rumors which are in Circu-
latiOn.
Senator Elkins and son Captain Da-
Wis Elkins are in town. They have
been here since Monday afternoon.
During that time there have been all
kinds of rumors aaoat about them and
their visit here. III was asserted that
they were to build large coal and coke
plants up the M. s. X. and do a great
many more things right away.
The Senator was seen by repre-
sentative of this paper in the office of
Hon. George c. Sturgiss where he
spent much of his time while here.
On being asked about his visit he
stated that he was here merely to look
over his holdings on both sides of the
river and to see what could be done.
He has been greatly embarrassed by
newspapers without foundation con-
corning his movements and has been

have to be secured before ne can do
anything definite.
He stated that in the future he
might have something to say that
will interest the people of Morgan
town but at present he is in great per-
plexity and can say nothing.
Mr.. Sturgiss also stated that on ac-
count of the unwise stories that had
been circulated much actual damage
had been done to Morgantowp and the
county and the development held
back for months to come. He is
fearful that it may all be defeated but
is hopeful that it may not be.
Senator Elkins had hoped TO visit
his holdings but was prevented by
the bad weather which has been pre-
vailing.
It is said that some political signiff-
canoe Is attached to his visit here but
nothing of this kind was mentioned
by him.
Several wild eyed rumors in this di-
rection are in circulation but none Of
them are thought to be very close to
the truth.
The Senator is looking well and is
feeling very well pleased over the way
that the legislature has gone. He is
the only one mentioned on the repub-
lican side of the fence for the place
and will be elected unanimously.

MIR. SUMMERVlLLE SUES.
He and Mr.. Stockton Want $4,000
For Loss Of Suffrage.

Col. Robert L. Somerville, manager
of the Georges Creek Coal and Coke
Company's plant at Pennington,
Marion county, near Fairmont, and
Mr.. Stockton, the company's engineer,
who were refused the privilege OF yot-
ing at the recent election, have
brought suit against the election com
missioners at their precinct for $l0,-
900 damages. The commissioners
claim that Col. Somerville was not
entitled to vote because he was not a
bona flde resident Of West Virginia,
as his family lives at Homecoming,
Maryland, and that Mr.. Stockton was
refused a vote for the same reason, as
his family resides in New Jersey.

the keynote of the drama We have
passed through a number of scenes that
cover the entire gamut of the dramatic
art 1t teaches a moral, both interesting
and instructive
hTe opening act introduces the audi
ence to a London gambling house kept
by Tom Drake, aided by Sarah Drake
ostensibly his sister-in reality his mis-
tress. Sarah Drake is a typical illustra-
ton of a gorgeous, but unWholesome
flower, reared in the hotbed of London
vice. Beautiful, shrewd, selfish and I'M
scrupulous, she has succeeded in drag
ging herself from the lowest depths Of
society to the more elevated, if not hon
orable, position of q queen in London's
fastest set. Young Stanton is an habitue
Of brakes gambling hell, and before the
action of the play begins has succumbed
to the charms of the artful Sarah. He
has even proposed to her and been
accepted, and notwithstanding the pro-
testations of. her former lover it is set
tied that q civil marriage shall take
place that very day. Drake, furious with
Jealousy, spurned by the memory of an
imaginary wrong inflicted in former
Years by Harrys father, concludes to
let the ceremony be performed. He is
aware of an hereditary faint, the curse
of drink, in the Stanton family, deter
mines to play upon that weakness In
Harry's character. While the marriage
is going on at the registrator's, Sir Ar

scene with Fred Isle, another Of Sarah

victims. Lisle has been foolish enough to
loan her a considerable amount of money
belonging to a society of which he was
treasurer, and on her refusal to return
the same confides in Sir Arthur, who
comes to the house in the hopes of max
Ing her disgorge the money. Sarah re-
turns and a stormy scene takes place
between the two. At the end of this
Harry, much the worse for drink, makes
his appearance, and when Sir Arthur up
b1 aids him for associating with such
woman, he tells him that Sarah is his
Wife. The grief-stricken father disowns
him, and Harry, in a semi-dazed condi-
ton, realizes he has taken the first step
on the downward path.
The next act takes place at Monte Carlo
and following this the action of the
drama moves swiftly-the streets of
London-young Stanton at the lowest
rung Of the social ladder thrilling
scene where cup of vitrol intended for
Grace Isle, Harry's former sweetheart
misses its mark and spoils forever the
enthralling beauty Of the seductive Sa-
rah. And then, the low London lodging

meeting Tom Drake his prosecutor the
insttgator of all his wrongs; the scere
that follows beggars description, and
when at the finish Harry, maddened by
drink and the taunts of his enemy, hurIs
