SOME SENATORIAL SENTIMENT.

over in the adjoining Senatorial
district composed OF the counties
of Monongalia, Taylor and Marion
there are two State Senators TO be
elected this time, and as the district
is overwhelming Republican, there
arc quite number of eminent patri-
OTIS who are not only willing but
anxious 10 ride to the front at
Charleston next winter with pocket
full of railroad passes and Senator
ial credentials. One Senator is to
be nominated for the short term
to succeed Hon. Thomas Il. Davis
of Grafton, who was named at Terra
Alta in 1900, and elected that fall
for full term of four years, but
vacated the Office by accepting the
position of Collector of Internal
Revenue, and it is generally con
coded that the short term man
should come from Taylor county,
and Hon. Ira T.. Robinson is slated
for the position. For the full term
the fight between mongolia and
Marion will be bitter. The retiring
Senator, Col. Richard Ellsworth
Fast of Morgantown, wants sec

position in the University as Pro-
lessor of Republican Political Econ

county may introduce one Bill into

THAT coSrE~pr OF COURT CASE.

The RICH, Reverend Bishop p. ].
Donahue of Wheeling, IS receiving
considerable free advertising over
the Zo,z will case at Terra Alta,
and many of the State papers have
been publishing the article from
this paper, giving the details of this
interesting affair. The papers that
published it from The ARGUS got it
straight. while others undertook to
steal the article and publish il as
original news, by working it over a
little and got it all mixed up. The
Parkersburg News published it word
for word from this paper as "Spec-
ial from Kingwood." Then again
the Wheeling News published it as
special dispatch from Grafton,
and sent reporter around to inter.
view the bishop, but he declined to
be interviewed. Some of the fave
correspondents in different parts of
the State snapped it up and sent it
in to the daily paper at Pittsburg,
Wheeling and other points and got
1t badly twisted, locating the matter
at Philippi, when that place had no
more connection with il than Tim
bucto. The Wheeling papers rather
tried to apologize for the Bishop
and make it appear that he was in
no danger of arrest for contempt of
Court, but there is where they are
wrong, because the warrant has al.
ready been issued as Judge Holt
ordered ii at the close of the last
session Of Circuit Court here, and
instructed Sheriff Lenhart of this
county to proceed to Wheeling at
the beginning of March Court and
arrest and bring the good Bishop
to Kiagwood, unless he should APP
pear here himself before that time.
The Court would not even trust
sending the writ to the Sheriff of Ohio
county, at Wheeling, but ordered
the Sheriff of this county to serve il
himself, which he will surely do, il
necessary. 1t will probably be a
great shock and surprise to the head
of the Catholic Church in this State,
but he will have to obey the orders
of the Court same as anyone else.

SAD DEATH OF A VETERAN.

Here is a sample of the "news"
sent out to the daily papers by the
fake correspondents in various parts
of the country. 1t makes good
reading for people who are fond of
fiction:
Gainesville, w. Va, Jan. ga
On the farm of Col. Nemegyei, at
this place, there has just occurred
the death of what was undoubtedly
the oldest mule in the entire State.
The animal was ~ years of age and
was almost white from age, although
in the days Of civil war he was al
most perfectly black. For the past
10 years it has done nothing but haul
the children of Col. Nemegyei about
the town and country. The amin al
fell over bank and broke its neck
else it would probably have seen a
half century. roll over its head. Ii
had never been sick a day in its
its life so far as the family can
remember.
The above is all true, except that
no such a person lives at Glades-
vile, nor never did, and in fact there
is no such a person as Col. "B. "
Nemegyei. The whole story orig.
mated from a local in this paper
about the veteran mule of Col. Fe-
lix Nemegyei of Kingwood, who
never lived in Gainesville or owned
any farm there The "children" OF
the Colonel who have been hauled
around town by the mule, since
moving to Kingwood, two or three
years ago were grown and one OF
them married long before coming
to town, and finally, the mule him
self may yet be seen on our streets
almost any day, a2d never fell over
any bank, so far as we know.

A MIXED COMPLIMENT.

We had no idea that Bro. Reed
of the Preston Republican was such
a humorist. He is a forceful writer
and gets off some good things, but
just nov he is posing as a royal
joker, as witness the following from
the last issue of his paper
We do not make a practice Of adj
visiting the Democracy, but we
have suggestion to make along a
certain line. The old party in the
last few years has tried nearly every
available man for Congress in the
second district with the same result
they have all been defeated. This
defeat has hurt their feelings, but
there is one Democrat in the dis
trict who on account of long resi-.
dence in Preston county, could
stand defeat without flinching. We
refer to Bro. Brown of The Argus
and he is big enough for Congress.
He could go through an entire cam
paign with certain defeat at its end
and feel good after the whole thing
was over. These politica! heartaches
are hard to heal and as a Republi.
can will, as usual, represent the sec
district from 1923 to 1905, the
Democracy should nominate a man
who will not feel defeat too keenly.
We recommend Bro. Brown.

we have read for some time. We
have had Bro. Reed in hole sew.
