The greatly deplored death of
Walter P. Dunnaway, who was the
nominee for County Commissioner
In Precinct No. 4, makes Ii neces-
sary to select some one to I'LL the
vacancy. The short time interven-
ing between now and election day
makes ii impractical to select "a
eandidatesby the primary election
system, and fhe further fact that
the ticketslpdust go to press by the
first of next week makes 1t equally
Impractical to get the democratic
executive committee together to
name a nominee as liz usually done
in the case of vacancy on the
ticket.
Chairman Hamilton has, there
fore, authorized the committee
charged with the arrangements of
the tickets 60 place thereon the
name of any democrat desiring to
make the race for the place. The
regular democratic ticket will,
therefore, contain the names OF all
democrats who are candidates for
county commissioner in precinct
number four. Candidates must hand
In their names, accompanied by
one dollar, to Mr.. Lee Hawkins,
chairman of the printing committee,
by Saturday of this week, as the
tickets go to press Monday, Oct. II
This arrangement appears perfectly
fair to all candidates, givingto each
the same chance for election that he
would have in the same length of
time under the primary system.

GREETING THE NAVAL HERO
School Children Turn Out in a
Body TO see Admiral Schley.

Admiral Winfield Scott Schley
was this morning given q demon
stration of the fact that he has
ardent admirers In Texas other
than those living in Dallas.
When the special train bearing
Admiral and Mrs. Schley to Waco
reached the Katy depot at 10 O'Clock
throng of several hundred people
had gathered to get glimpse of the
man who had won the most signal
naval victory known to modern
history.
AS the train came to a standstill
the Admiral surrounded by several
friends appeared on the platform of
the rear coach. He was introduced
to the crowd by Hon. J. "A. Beall
and for about five minutes be spoke
In praise worthy terms of Texas and
her people. He saidfa state inhab-
tied by as cultured and intelligent
people astis Texp@ is destined to see
a great future
The pubhc<school pupils and the
students of Trinity University
marched In bodies to the depot to
take part In the greeting rendered
Admiral Schley. The children of
the public school were formed in a
line at the east end of the depot and
they did not get sight Of the Admir-
al until the train was pulling out.
AT his request the train was stopped
and for few moments he spoke to
the children.
Admiral SchIey was the recipient
of many floral tributes from the la
dies. A pretty bouquet of American
Beauty roses was sent Admiral and
Mrs. Schley by Mrs. b. r. 'Moffett.
Mrs. T. A. Ferris and little Misses
Halle and Louise Groce also pre-
sented the Admiral with bouquets
of choice cut flowers. AS the train
was in the act of pulling out for
Hillsboro, little Miss Louise Groce
was lifted to the platform that the
Admiral might kiss her.

Thousands of men and women
who have neglected the work Of
physical recnperation in the summer
months, are nov carrying burden
of disease. In the majority of cases,
impure and poisoned blood and a
sluggish circulation are the direct
cause of suffering and misery. Are
you, dear reader, one of the unhappy
victims? If, so, the life blood must
be made pure, the health-wrecking
laxity of the blood vessels must be
nourisbed. Paine's Celery Com
pound is the medicine that ply
clans recommend for the increase of
pure blood in the arteries, and for
arousing the purifying organs to
cast off the impurities that give rise
to disease. Mr.. James +. Hudson,
Spring Ridge, La, was terrible
sufferer from impure blood. He
tells how he banished his troubles:
"From some cause my blood be-
came impure and resulted in botls
and pfmpies. At pneltime / suffered
from 27 boils. No one can imagine.

Did Abraham Lincoln Visit Manassas

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
In connection with the recent interesting
visit of President Roosevelt to the battle
fields of Bull Run the public prints state
that no other President ever visited Manas-
sas before, except Jefferson Davis. Mr.
Davis, it will be remembered, reached the
Henry farm on July 81, 1861, just as the
retreat for Washington began. But is it
true that no other President ever visited
these historic plains? l will present to your
readers a little hearsay evidence on that
point, which 1 believe worthy of credence.
The witness, Aunt Nellie Naylor, a coore6
woman of this community, Informed me
that soon after Beauregard's evacuation or
Manassas and McClellan's advance In
March, 1862. Abraham Lincoln came to
Manassas, and that he shook hands with
her at the Liberia mansion and talked with
her at that time. The house referred to
was Beauregard's headquarters and is still
standing. 1t was known among the SOL
diers a 1.-The brick house." and now belongs
to Mr.. Robert Portner Aunt Nellie was
the favorite house servant of her master,
Mr.. William l. Weir, who left her in charge
of the house when the confederates fell
back. She was employed in my household
for a time, and I questioned her carefully,
and from her description of Mr.. Lincoln, l
believe her statement worthy of credence.
Aunt Nellie was one of the most gentle
and delightful women of any race | ever
new. She had the full confidence and love
of her masters family and of all who knew
her She died a few years ago at the age
of 102. nearly as l could ascertain after
considerable investigation. l think l am
safe in saying that no one who knew her
would believe for an instant that she would
knowingly have told untruth regarding
such a matter. / know perfectly well that
it was not uncommon for soldiers when on
a scout to pass themselves off on ignorant
people for men of prominence. l knew per-
sOnally more than one instance where Sher
man and Mosby were unprecedented in
manner not calculated to improve the repu-
tation of those officers. Notwithstanding
these observations, | am inclined to think
that Lincoln did visit Manassas in the
spring of 1862. There can be no doubt that
Mr.. Lincoln did not fully agree with some
of his generals in the idea that Manassas
was a strong defensive position. 1t woulc
seem natural that he should desire to see
what there was in Manassas that had de-
layed his armies so long. The same mo-
tiveS that influenced him to visit Richmond
in 1868 and the region of Fredericksburg in
1853 may have induced him to visit Manas-
sas in 1862. If he actually did SO there IS
probably a record of 1t. If there Is such
record, no doubt some of your readers may
know where it exists.

pecial Correspondence of The Evening Star.

BOYD'S, Nd, November 6, 1902
The typhoid fever patients at Choppers
are reported much better this morning.
Mrs. Mary E. Jones and Mrs. William Jones
and her son and two daughters, and Mrs.
Barton Trail and a son, have been confined
to their beds the past three weeks with
severe cases of the fever, which at one time
threatened the lives of ALL All of the
families lived within a few hundred yards
of each other and all were stricken about
the same time The cause Of the disease
has yet not been fully traced.
Rev. j. D. Stone, missionary and evan
gelist, gave a lecture here at the Presby-
terrain Church, on his trip to the Holy Land,
his visits about the ruins of the old world,
throughout Jerusalem, Palestine and Ara
bia. He spoke in most of the foreign Ian
guages of the east, telling of the customs
of the people.
The condition of Mr. Norris King of
Clarksburg, who was injured three months
ago by a barrel falling upon the knee of
his leg and so injuring it that he could not
straighten it or walk upon it, is much bet
ter since his return from Maryland Gen
eral Hospital, Baltimore, where he went
for months treatment. The physicians
there thought amputation necessary, but
the young man opposed it.
