The Completion Of Improvements
to the Public Square.
GREAT BAND CARNIVAL
Suggested For Labor Day-The Order For
the New Stand Has Been Placed and II
is thought That Improvements Can
be Completed by That Time.

The order for the new band stan,
which is to adorn Martinsburg's pub
lie square has been placed and from
now until the arrival OF the structur'
will be a period of anxious waiting
ON the tart of the citizens. The or
der for the stand was placed with th'
| Champion iron Company. OF Canton,
o., which is about the largest orn
mental iron manufacturing company
in existence.
News has been received from Mas
sachusetts to the effect that the drink
ing founta j II has been completed anc
will be mere III q week or two. The
fountain was completed sometime
ago, but the manufacturers have an
other shipment TO make to this sec
ton and they are holding it so that
they can send all the goods at once.
Now that the plans for the i'm
provement to the square have pro.
crossed this far il Is time to begin
making preparations for celebrating
this important step toward beautify-
ing the city. One whole dav should
be devoted TO it. For this purpose nc
better day could be selected than La
Dor Day, which will be on Monday,
September l.. 1t Is a dav h a Is be-
coming more of a holiday each wear.
All the factories, public buildings.
etc.. in this and nelghDoring cities
are closed on Labor Day and
euently a celebration of some moment
could be had on chat dav.
One very appro pirate suggestion Is
that a great ban carnival be gotten
up for the dav. Bands in the cities
and towns within q radius of q hun
dred miles could be invited to partlc-
ipate in the contest and maslc could
be furnished during almost the en-
tire day. Advertised as a great band
carnival in celebration of the i'm
proyements to Ma~rtinsburg's public
square in the way OF a handsome new
band stand. drinking fountain. grass
plots. etc, it would be a great draw
ing card for crowds. for there is moth
ing that the American people are
more eager to follow than brass
bands. In addition 70 celebrating
the occasion a band carnival would
not only attract attention to Ma tins.
burg, but world bring a great amount
of business TO the city for the day.
1t is estimated inWinchester thatSS00C
was scent in that city by the stran'
gels on the Fourth of July. Judging
from the past enough money could be
raised among the citizens for the pri-
yes and other expenses of the carni'
val.
1t is over a month and a half vet
until Labor Dav and the improve
ments to the square can, with a little
hustling. SURELY be completed by that
time. There has been no celebration
in Marrinshurg since last Fourth OF
,Iulv two years ago. 1t is time for
another and IT is time tn begin max
ing preparations if it is to be held on

WILL BRYAN CAST
HIS MANTLE ON
JENNINGS?

PENSACOLA, Fla. Dec. 17.-NewsDa-
pers in Florida are discussing a curious
story, and one which has the promise OF
becoming of a national character very
soon.
The story as briefly summarized is best
tolo In an interview with prominent
state politician who said:
Lately / had occasion to visit Wash
ington. and I was informed OF something
of a political nature that surprised me-
NY informant was a man who stands
high in the national councils of the DEM
ocratic party. This gentleman informed
me that last summer bdDm was tnaugu-
rated in California that had in view the
nomination for vice president of Governor
Jennings. of Florida, and that two Ne
braslxa papers and several in California
had already discussed F'lorida's chief ex-
ecutive in connection with the honor. 1t
is generally understood in certain circles
that William Jenning Bryan will not be
a candidate for president in 1904. and that
this great leader win be content if his
cousin. the governor of Florida, is named
as the vice presidential candidate. 1t is
believed that this is the result Of Governor
Jennings extended trip to the west last
summer"
The close and intimate relations existing
between Mr.. Bryan and Governor Jen-
nings are well known. and it would be no
more than natural If the great Nebraslan
would throw the mantle Of his political
popularity over the shoulders Of his dis
tinguished young kinsman.

AN ALLEGED KIDNAPER Is
CAUGHT BY THE LAW

-AUGUDIA, Ga, Dec. I'D. A White
ley has Just returned from Osceola, Ala,
where he captured James Arlington, who
on November 18th, kidnapped two children
near Spread, in Jefferson county. The
children were Marshall and Madeline
Stewart. He also stole 500 from Seaborn
Adams, the father of Marshall, by whom
he had been employed.
Mr.. Adams offered a reward for the re-
covery of his son and Whiteley, acting as
private detective, took up the clue. He
found that Arlington had taken the Geor-
gia train at Harlem, traced him to Chat
tanooga, Birmingham and other places,
and finally arrested him at Osceola. The
children had not been i'll treated. The
detective brought all of them back.
Arlington was placed in Jail at Louis
VILE Why he abducted the children is a
mystery, since he made no demand for
ransom and had no cause to seek re-
venge. Indignation is very great among
the people, and there is talk of lynching
If it develops that he has violated the
girl, who is about twelve years Of age.

BERLIN, Dec. 1.-THE foreign ONCE Of

being made to represent Germany as the
propelling power in the coercion OF Ven
ezuela and as being responsible for all the
harsh measures. For Instance. they say
the bombardment Of the forts at Porto Ca

whereas, the officials, without reserva-
ton, say that the bombardment was at
the British commanders suggestion, the
Topaz being the British ship. The Ger
man commander participated in the firing
as a loyal ally. The German government

day print from Kiel a statement that the

BARRIER
WON 7 STOP
AMERICANS
WASHINGTON OFFICIALS WILL
NOT RESPECT PEACEFUL
BLACKADE" ATTEMPTED BY
ANY NATION WHATSOEVER.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE officials
here have come to the conclusion that the
projected peaceful blockade" of Vene-
Ian ports cannot be recognized as against
United States shipping at least. If the
allies seek to exclude Venezuelan shipping
from entry to Venezuelan ports that
might be permitted, but they cannot ex-
clude United States ships in. regular BUSH
ness. unless a genuine state of war is rec
cgnized. Regardless of the merits of the
present controversy, the state department.
feels that the vast interests of American
trade demand that this rule be adopted
and adhered to, else American trade might
be crippled at the will of any naval power
that sought to resort to the anomalous
peaceful blockade"
If Great Britain and Germany wish to
exclude American merchantmen from Ven
ezuelan ports. they must exclude all ship
ping. including their own, a condition
which can only be met by recognizing the
existence of a state of war and the dis
missal of the present friction.
Senior Ojeda, the Spanish minister, and
Baron Monchair the Belgian minister,
have not received official advices relative
to the joint note their governments have
addressed to President Castro asking that,
of the allied powers. Spain and Belgium
be given similar treatment.
The Spanish minister denies that there
is the slightest probability of further ac-
tion on the part of Spain, unless events in
Caracas make 1t necessary for the Span
ish representative to withdraw. Minister
Ojeda does not anticipate this in view of
the strong ties of friendship that exist be-
tween his government and the South
American republics.
Baron Moncheur regards the position of
his country as thus far neutral, but in
case circumstances change this attitude,
1t is likely that Minister Bowen will be
requested to look after Belgian interests
in the Venezuelan capital. Belgium, hav-
ing no navy, 1t will not be possible for
that country to join IN the naval demon
stration of the allied fleet.
Mr.. Bowen's position is realized to be
one of extraordinary difficulty. He is now
In charge of the interests of Great Brit
ain, Germany and Holland, besides those
