To tho Editor Of The Observer:

which he seeks to make pass muster
as . compliance with my proposition
to divulge the name OF my inform.
ant provided Mr.. Simmons would
deny the alleged admission that he
had asked Bryan to discuss the
amendment in this State and he had
refused to do 30. However. the
of Mr.. Simmons 10 hedged

ed words that do not see how, in
justice to the terms of nv tffsr, l
can take it a. . denial. The cues
tions and answers are lengthy and

written by . shrewd lawyer after
careful deliberation. As q sample
OF the alleged denial, I b 70 a. ote a
question and answer from the inter
view with Mr.. Simmons a. printed
in the r Weigh News and Observer:

Mr.. Bryan urging him to favor the

back, urging fusion with Butler.

POLITICAL MATTERS.
Some of the Things that are Be
ing Done.

Freer's Rnmored Withdrawal Creates
Mild Sensation Hardly Believed
In Morgantown-Pow- TO Be
Held in Wheeling Judge Bennett
viii Shortly Announce His Candi-
dacy.
The Wheeling Intellieencer ON
Thursday had long article which
purported to be the views of a lead
ing republican OF that place to the
effect that Congressman Freer would
in few days announce that he had
left the track clear in the race for
governor and would get off in favor
of Mr.. White.
The announcement has created
great deal of comment over the state
but from all indications the story is
without foundation. Congressman
Freer apparently has the whip hand
in the fight in the state and he would
not be the man to let up when he
had things coming his way
He will leave Washington to-day
for West Virginia and will spend
the next ten DAYS in the state look
ing after his fences. He has many
friends here who would be sorry to
see him pull off and they will do
everything they can to keep him on
the track.
While things are getting more
and more interesting on the repub-
lican side of the fence they are also
warming up on the other side Hon.
w. G. Bennett of Weston has been
mentioned repeatedly in connection
with the nomination for governor
but he has said nothing as yet. 1t
is now stated on what appears to be
good authority that he will in a
short time announce that he will ac-
cept the nomination.
This will give Lewis county two
candidates as Hon. Andrew Edmis-
ton will also be after the place The
fight in Lewis over which one shall
have delegates would be lively one
and would probably decide the
matter between them.
A pow WOW of the leading repub-
Leans is to be held in Wheeling
while the celebration is going on and
some plans will be laid there that
will come to light later. Senator
Elkins will not be present on ac-
count of an injury received by
means of fall few days ago.

A prize fight between Westminster
college student and colored boy nam

Saturday night promises 70 cause
much trouble, Notwithstanding the
negro was knocked out in the third
round.
The fight was pulled off in the barn
of Hugh Means, a farmer living about
mile and half north of New Will
mington and was witnessed by over
loo persons from New Castle, Mercer
and students of Westminster college.
1t was conducted with great secrecy
but two members of the college facul-
ty, Profs. Barnes and Freeman, learn
ed Of it and made raid on the barn
while the fight was in progress.
In an interview with members of
the faculty it is learned that all par
Elephants will be expelled from the
college, The town authorities have
employed a detective and an effort
will be made To learn the names of all
parties present and warrants will be
issued for their arrest. An indigna-
tion meeting was held by the college
students this morning and the whole
affair was roundly denounced.

General Clements reports that the

WHEELING. Feb. 2l-The bateriest
OF artillery of the cadet corps OF the
State University will not be here on
Dewey Day. A cordial invitation was
sent TO the scholastic handlers of large
field pieces To come here aud hiring
some of the cannon 20 increase the
general imposing features of the event
and just as cordially did the boys out
at Morgantewn accept the invitation
aud hustle around and get permit to
use the cannon for the occasion and
Go be absent themselves The infan-
try branch Of the corps was also to
come, and that was all fixed in the
minds of the Wheeling people, as we'll
as in the minds OF the students.
They were to have their dress suits
as well as their pretty uniforms when
they came to the First City in body
Then the committee went out to
Morgantowu TO make the last ar
rangements. The cadets had the
temerlty to insist that the Dewey
Day committee pay the transportation
bills for taking the cannon to Wheel
ing, and also intimated that it would
be no more than proper that the fare
OF the boys be paid. And there the
committee called Off all negotiations.
The idea, said the committee, Of
which Clark Hamilton was the chair
man, that these boys be given an op-
portunity to visit great city and In
sist on having their fare paidl The
boys certainly did not understand the
peculiar advantages OF having Go dig
In their jeans for the freight bills for
taking the cannon to Wheeling and
Wheeling will not have the cannon
and the cadets.
The matter Is being discussed
great deal here. The committee is
generally termed as '.short' In the
treatment of the cadets. 1t was at
the solicitation of the Wheeling conn
mittee that the boys consented TO
come, and while there was nothing
said about the matter the cadets
naturally supposed that their expen-
SEES would be paid.
Ii is said that this incident will
have considerable effect against
Wheeling In her bid for the State Re-
publican convention. The episode
shows that Wheeling expects great
deal, but does not care to obligate her
self any lin return, and IL IL the opin-
ion among few who have expressed
themselves that il the convention de-
termines to meet here that will be as
far as the people OF Wheeling will go In
the matter and just let the convention
come and take care of itself without
any special attempt on the part of the
Wheeling people tosee that everything
is carried out in the way OF hospitali-
ty that should be and that no special
inducements will be offered. People
here frankly say that the shortness OF
the Dewey Day committee is great
argument for Parkersburg in her eff
fort TO secure the state convention.

SUNG the Beers, and the next important
news may be the occupation of Bloem-
fontein.
Nothing has been heard from the case
OF CronJe for two days. Although the
last words of the war office were that
there was no news for publication there
is a strong disposition to believe that
favorable information has been received
but is being withheld until the opera-
tons eliminate in something more con.
elusive. There is an equally strong
disposition to think that General Crop ie
has got away.
Owing to the lack of transport. the
British are not likely to invade Boer
territory, except where Lord Roberts is
operating. General Butler will have to
stop at the Drakensburg mountains
Probably part of his 10000 men will
ultimately join the legions of Lord
Roberts.
Ii, as General Butler AYERS. the Beers
are retreating from him, then the news
on every side is favorable to the British.
Nevertheless troops continue to GO mn.
The war office thinks the call TO yeter
ans to rejoin the colors, together with
the bounty, will bring As, 900 men to the
home defense. The urgency with which
the home defense is pressed excites some
wonder

APRIL FIRST
The Mon0ngahela River Road Changes
Hands.

The Monongahela River Railroad,
which has been sold to the Balti
more and Ohio, has not yet changed
hands and will not pass under b. q
O. control before the first of April.
All the matters of detail have not
yet been arranged but they will be
completed within the next six
weeks.
The road, 33 miles in length. run
ming from Fairmont to Clarksburg,
is one of the most valuable acquisi
tions the B. 81 O. has made in re-
cent years and it is expected to
bring a great volume OF business to
the road. The country along its en-
tire length is rapidly growing and
being developed. A great many new
coal mines are being opened up
along the road and with the present
demand for coal and the expected
advence in price they will all be
kept busy and prosperous for some
time.
At shinnston along, near which
place two new mines are to be open
ed, it is estimated that the popula
ton will increase more than 500 be-
fore fall, while the increase in popu-
lation along the NJ r. r. in the last
two years it estimated at 5000. At
Clarksburg the growth is so rapid
that not only is it difficult to secure
the houses but even rooms to accom-
modate the people who are coming
there A Clarksburg man states
that if he had them he could rent so
houses there inside of the next ten
days.

THE BEST OF
READING FOR
OLD AND YOUNG.

Few newspapers in the country have
better news facilities than ssThe Pitts
burg Post" A glance Of its columns
day by day will convince even the most
casual reader that this is fact. It
covers the local, domestic and foreign
fields thoroughly In addition to the
splendid service of the Associated
Press, seThe Post" receives the news
of the world collected specially by two
of the leading New York newspapers.
Thus not source of news is left UNI
covered.
The great success of 1.-THE POST in
reporting the Spanish-American war
is being continued now that war has
been carried into Africa. THE POSTS"
dispatches from London and the seat
OF war are unequaled. Particular
praise should be given the cabled let
tiers OF l. N. Ford. who so ably sizes
up the war situation each day.
Now that Congress Is in session,
'sThe Post" may be expected to give
the most complete and interesting re-
ports from the National Capital. Al
ready the events are shaping them
selves for the presidential camnaign
of 1900, and 1.-THE Post" is planning
to duplicate and then excel its won
derful record OF 1895.
The great progress made by The
Sunday Post" in the. last few years
has made it one of the marvels OF
modern journalism. Its half-tone
supplement is not surpassed anywhere
and is equaled by few magazines.
1T is the cleanest family paper, and
its market reports are the latest and
most reliable.
Taken all in all the prospects Of
aThe Post" are of the brightest, and
its readers have every reason to be-
lieve they will fare better than ever
before.

everything quiet in Clarksburg as far
as the smallpox situation is concerned.

eyes are stated to be exaggerated. His
eyes are affected somewhat but this is
not unusual and they are expected to

There are no new cases in Harrison
county and the worst of the visitation
is past In Bucghannon there are
said to be between twenty and thirty
cases according to reports received in
Clarksburg. The spread of the dis
ease was due to neglect of precau-
