that the formers nomination was
not legal. Hardly had the word
reached the Swisher camp that
Sturgiss had purchased the Morgan

Grafton picket told of the buying
over of the Sentinel of town by the
willy Monongalian. While these
announcements caused some little
furry here, Mr.. Swisher claims that
he is not in the least alarmed and
will pay back with interest every
blow struck by the man from Nor
gantown. Swisher's friends here
are very sore over the action of sew
eral Republican clubs in Morgan.

al character OF the Marion county
candidate. They claim that the
accusations are entirely uncalled
for and unjust.

ern company, and President ELEPHANT,
of the Delaware and Hudson company,

receipt Of President Roosevelts invi.

outcome of the meeting
Following the receipt Of the presi-
dents invitation the coal presidents
in the city held brief conference,
but no word as to what passed be-

CONFERENCE OPENS.
Methodists Assemble at New
Martinsville.


Bishop Fitzgerald will Preside DIR.
Leech to Deliver Address-SOme-
thing of the Growth of the DenOmi-
nation in this State Royal Recep-
ton Given Visitors.
A special from New Martinsville
tells of the opening of and annual
session of the M. +. conference
Bishop James N. Fitzgerald of St.
Louis is presiding. The meeting
was called to order this morning
DR.. S. V. Leech of Morgantown will
speak Friday moring on Missions
The special continues:
just fifty years ago that hero OF
the saddle bags, James j. Dolliver,
who is known all over the state by
his trumpet voice and as a great
campmeeting preacher and better
still as the father OF lowa's illus
trious senator, began the erection of
the first meeting house in New Mar
tinsville. Mr. Dolliver led the sub
scription list with 500, selling his
horse to pay the debt. New Mar
tinsville then was only struggling
village when steamboats,, landed, and
the country round about was little
more than wilderness.
But fifty years have brought about
great changes here as elsewhere. The
struggling village has grown to be a
city of no mean Importance and the
center of commercial trade. 1t has
fine streets manv of which are well
paved, imposing business blocks,
palatial homes, splendid churches
and school buildings, good hotels
and a fine section of country sur
rounding it and stretching far back
that is unsurpassed in the OHIO val
ley.
The annual session of the confer
ence is always full of interest and
Importance not only to the ministers
but to the many thousands OF lay
members.
In the bounds of the conference
there are 225 pastoral charges with
a membership of over fifty Thousand
this does not include all of W lest Vir
GINA, for Brooke and Hancock coun-
ties are included in the Pittsburg
conference, and all of the counties
east of the Alleghenies are included
in the Baltimore conference. Thus
1t will be seen that there are at least
seventy five thousand Methodists in
the state or about one for every thlr-
teen of population.
The citizens here irrespective OF
church denomination have opened
their home tor free entertainment
and have given the conference roy
al welcome and for the next week to
come the town will be in the hands
of the Methodist ministers.

Literary Notes Tor october.

The October Delineator is likely to
attract unusual attention on account
Of the fine presentation of the
Autumn fashions in that number. In
the literary section also the interest
Is splendidly sustained. The second
installment of Mrs. Bars fine story
takes the reader to the old town Of
Kirkwall, the home OF Thyra Varrick,
and introduces the heroine and other
chief characters. The plot unfolds just
enough to show the possibilities for
dramatic action later on. There are
two other stories, strikingly in con-
trast; one by Marvin Dana, with a
child as the central figure; the other
an interesting picture of Western
Life, by Eleanor Gates.

consumers has grown so fast and the
