for governor Of West Virginia. We have
for many yeaE known him to have
been Jealous. 3sithful ana true to his
ptttys and to his party's cause. His
well-known ability as a journalist and
advocate on the hastings, together
with his popularity among all classes
of men. make him strong candidate.
We pledge him our Individual support
for the nomination at the. Charleston
convention and at the polls in Noyem-
Der next.
The convention also instructed the
delegates to the Congressional conven-
ton to vote for Hon. E. w. squlres, of
Flat Woods, Braxton county. for dis
trict'elector.
In addition the convention unanl-
mously adopted strong resolutions de-
nounging Captain Dovener and his fol-
lowers for their attempted efforts to
suppress the majority sentiment Of the
county In the selection of . candidate
for Congress, and declared that the
county committee. which has heretofore
assumed control and direction Of the
party in Braxton county was an ir-
regularly selected and self-cOnstltuted
body.
A lengthy and strong letter from Hon.
John D. Sutton, who is at present at
MartInsburg, was read before the con-
ventlon, heartily endorsing the move
ment, which letter was on motion
unanimously endorsed and made part
OF the minutes OF the convention.

Civilizations Demand.

Thus it was that the great Bur
Iington route thru Iowa was con
structed. No time nor money was
spared in making the roadbed of the
old Burlington, the best in the land,
but it was full of great curves from
one end of the state to the other.
Competing lines extended into the
western territory, and as the coun-
try became settled there came with
it increased passenger and freight
traffic. With the advance of civiliza,
ton came the demand for a more
rapid passenger service and the fast
mail train. Competing lines striving
one with the other for the plums that
are contained in the government con
tracts and for the extensive thru pas.
senger traffic, necessitated improve.
ments in service from time to time,
until very marked degree of per
lection will soon have been attained
by the Burlington thru Iowa. Fast
mail trains necessitated the elimina.
ton of sharp curves; the improve.

two miles of parallel second track be-
ing built to complete the double track
age. The most remarkable change in
the roadbed is between Creston and
Murray, shown in the first map. For
twenty-five miles along this stretch
the old roadbed is practically aban-
dontd except thru the stations, and at
one or two points at which the present
location lies for short distances near
the present line.
This is said to be the heaviest TWEEN
ty-five miles of railroad grading thru
prairie country known to engineers.
The grading on this line averages 12O,-
900 cubic yards of earth per mile over
the entire distance. All the principal
streams are crossed at heights of from
sixty to seventy feet above their beds.
The cuts thru the hills average from
fifty-five to sixty feet in depth.
The engineers who ran the original
line of the road twenty years ago,
found their skill somewhat taxed to OBJ
tain line thru this rough piece Of
country. They worked to maximum

ly up-to-date in the production of the
most realistic representation of that
chief incident in the Spanish-Ameri-
can war on land, the fight at Ell Caney.
This WILL course, be the concluding
and the most elaborate event of the
performance, and will be participated
in by the men who went UP San Juan
Hill, with our present governor, Ted
dy" Roosevelt.
The man who fired the first shot at
Lexington, "The shot that echoed
around the world" has been lost to
history, but the man who fired the first
shot at Sibony is known, for Edward
Marshall has immortalized him as
Tom Isbel, who saw the first Spaniard
and cheerfulIy killed him. He re-
ceived seven bullets in his body as a
return compliment, and the same vol
ley killed the gallant Captain Capron.
Besides Isbel will be seen Sergeant
Gerald A. Webb, Walter Cook, Walter
A. Wood and many others of the vet
Grams of that campaign. This will be
fitting close,as being the last achieve
ment of American valor, to the histor-
ic pictures already incorporated in the
Wild West, which presents the history
of the country from the time the from.
