AS a general rule, the more 2 man

the case with James r. Keene, the 9TH
er DAY. Mr. Keene was on the other
side, but before sailing for this coun-
try autographed orders to his brokers
20 sell 5000 shares OF stock, among the
list being st. Paul, Burlington and
Quincy, Atchison, Louisville and Nash
vile and Northern Pacific. There was
an error In the telegram as received by
the brokers, and it read 10000 shares "
The brokers proceeded to sell them, and
there was a break in the market, very
naturally. Later they found there was
a mistake, and in hurry bought back
fifty thousand shares, the market
slowly recovering as they did SO. AS
a result Mr.. Keene made $4,000 more
than he would have done on the orig
inal 5000 order. Wall street is queer
place.

MRS. WILLIAMSON MISSING
FOUL PLAY rs SUSPECTED

She Became Separated From Her
Husband In Pnrlxersburg ON show
day and Has Not been Seen Since.
Special to the Register.
PARKERSBURG, w. Va, September
21.-It is now feared that Mrs. John
Williamson, who was separated from
her husband on show day and could not
be found. has met with foul play.
Williamson left her with their little
child standing on a corner here while
he went to transact some business and
on his return she was gone After a
long search he decided that she had
become lost, ana despairing of finding
him in the crowd had returned TO their
home at Cairo.
But when he went home she had not
been there and none of her neighbors
had heard anything of her. Williams
son brought some money with him
when he came to town and deposited
part of 1t. He gave about SITS TO his
wife, who had it with her when she
disappeared, AMI he thinks that she
was robbed and perhaps murdered.
Their life was happy so that he does
not think he has been deserted.

ngMocRATTC COUNTY TICKET
col. e. III. FITCH.

At Moundsville, Thursday evening,
Col. E. II. Fitch, of Huntington, made
some remarks at Republican meet
ing, dividing time with Captain B. B.
Dovener, the Republican Congressional
nominee, whose address is reviewed
and commented upon elsewhere in this
issue. Col. Fitch discussed State mat
tiers, and attempted to make it appear
that under Governor Atkinson's admin
istration there had been a relief to the
people OF the State in the matter of
taxation. The lntelligencer, reporting
his speech, asserts that he assured the
people that there had been saving of
money to the people of the State, and
that taxation had not been increased
Mr. Fitch is in error, to put It mild
~. Taxation has beeen increased
through an increase in valuations, as
che people of Ohio county for instance,
know to their great sorrow. And the
expenses of the Republican State gov
ernment have been very largely in
creased over the previous Democratic
administration, as the official figures
will show.

ONLY AN "INCIDENT."

Capt Dovener says the acquisition
of the Philippines was only an Incl
dent of the war with Spain" Yes, 1t
was IAN incident" but one which the
administration regrets during each
hour of each passing day. That one
incident" was enough to condemn to
eternal oblivion any American admin
istration, and that will be the finish of
the administration which brought 1t
about Twenty millions paid to a de-
feated and helpless enemy for islands
on the other side of the world which
ought not to have been accepted by
America had Spain paid us twenty mil
lions to take them off her hands Can
any sane man justify that act of Pres
ident Mckinley? To the twenty mill
lions paid have been added at least one
hundred millions more in expenses
no one really knows the total cost ex
cept the officials at Washington. and
they won't tell-and the bill is grow
ing at the rate of three-Quarters of
million dollars day, while between
sixty and seventy thousand young
American boys are still engaged In a
warfare which has already dragged
over two years. and will last an in
definite period to come, with the only
end In sight the maintenance of a stiff
American garrison on c,le Islands for
all time to come, a constant source of
expense to the taxpayer. And yet
this was "only an incident" of the
war with Spain. I'd thus Captain
Dovener fiippantly dlsmisses the sub
ject
Captain Dovener knows oaly too well
that the American people have that
incident" very much in mind, and
about six weeks hence, when they have
a chance at the polls, they viii regis
ter their opinion In no uncertain way.
OF all the blunders and indiscretions Of
the Mckinley administration end they
