be exceed In this respect as well as others they have
big advantage over the democratic ticket. But in
stead Of this line Of argument they attempting to
create prejudice against the organization Of the repub
can party in this county That same course has been
pursued for years but without effect The unwarrant
ed attacks made upon the leaders of the party have al
ways resulted in talyng the people closer to the par
ties assailed The effect isaready perceptble in
this campaign and the they misrepresent and
villify the stronger is the support OF the republican
ticket
The people Of Harrison county are fair minded
and they want every to have his just dues They
disappove OF the SANDER INDUCED in by the democratic
ricksters for political prefennent They have year a
ter year discountenanced such methods and they will
again this year.
The republican candidates make claims that
they can not snbstmtiate They make promises
that they do not intend to carry out to the letter They
are not only looking to their election but they also
taking into consideration honorable record after
they are elected They make no false pretensions.
They are square and fair. They firm believers in
republican principles under which our state has ex
perienced such magnificent development They are
not running on double platform but stand squarey
on the platform promulgated blythe republicans of this
country They are tools for but men of in
dividuaty and independence 1t is true they stand
by the party and its organization. They could not
ask for election fthey did not show loyalty to the
party,
It's not only absurd but bnzen for the opposing
party to ask for republican votes because the repubi
can ticket shows loyalty to the organization and the
organization them. 1t is foolish for the democratic
party to hold out the hope to young republicans that
the election oftbe democratic ticket will be Of political
advantage to them. What does the democratic party
for young republicans morcthan to get their votes
The fact of the business is they hate young repubi
cans like snakes. However, there is no danger of any
young republican voting the democratic ticket They
all have much for thatand too much interest
in the welfare of the county.
The democratic trcksters must change their tactics
and when they cry ring, it will be well for them to
remember that their party has had ring in it
foryears.

State Solidly Republican,

Senator Elkns private secretary Col c. II. l4lv-
ineston has familiazcd himself with the political sit
uation in West Virginia and we have from his own
lips what he knows about the outlook. He was here
Thursday of this week. He had come from Fairmont
where he went over the conditions in Marion county
and that senatorial district He talked not only with
the republicans down there but with many leading
democrats as well. He came away well satisfied with
the situation there and with the assurance that there
would be a big republican victoryin that section He
saws there is no question about the republicans carrying
Marion county and it is conceded by several promi
nent democrats, who are familiar with the outlook
Mr. Livingston was also agrceably impressed with
conditions in this county and received strong assurance
from various members Of the party that the victory
this wear would be larger and more complete for the
republicans than on any previous year. lie was cs-
peciay pleased with the voluntary assurances by sew
era prominent members Of the party that they intend
to not only vote for Captain Dovencr but would give
him their hcartiest support in the campaign notwith
standing the fact that they opposed his denominations
He makes the positive assertion that Dovcncrs major
ity in the district will be from three to five thousand
and it would be larger if it not m off year
Conditions shaping themselves finely in the
Second district for the reelection Of Congressman Day
ton The few differences in the party are in process Of
adjustment Dayton's majority will be At least two
thousand says Mr. Livingston.
Its his opinion that the Fourth district in which
is Parkersburg is the safest Of them all and that the
majority there will be five thousand in woodward :
favor.
The other two districts are safely republican
Hughes, district will give him the usual majority Of
three or four thousand and Gaines district will roll
up the normal majority of forty-fve hundred and IN
all probability much more.
He agrees with the Telegram that there is no occa-
sion for alarm but to the contrary every to be
sanguine. He urges every republican to turn out at
the polls and make the majorities so big that they will
discourage the democrats for the national fray in 1904
His is wholesome advice and no true republican can
afford to not heed it.

SHE KEPT ONE SECRET.
True story of baltimore Woman
Who Exhibited n Lifelong Dis
like of Dates.

The one secret that women know
how to keep is, according to unkind
critics, that of their age. They will
tell everything else that is intrusted
to their keeping, but never, in mo-
ment of expansive indiscretion, will
they be induced to reveal the number
of their years.
OF course, this isn't always true.
Many feminines tell their ages and
those of their women friends with as
much freedom as their brothers would
give the same intelligence concerning
themselves. but one elderly lady who's
recently died was, in the matter of
tecretivcness, marvel to her acquaint-
nnccs.
No one except her own brothers and
sisters knew her age. Her husband
did not. though she was married to him
30 years or more. When the marriage
license had to he bought the bride
vouchsafed the Information that she
was "1nore than 49," That was all; so
the hard-hearted best man put her
down as 25 years of age.
In the years that followed she never
she was asked if she were born in June,
she replied that she didn't remember.
The natal days of others in the family
were celebrated, but hers never. She
would talk well on any subject in the
world but ages; on this one she was
absolutely dumb.
Before she expired she made a sim
gle request of her husband. please
don't allow any dates to appear in the
obituary notices or on my tombstone"
she asked. 81 don't like dates"
And so her secret died with her, and,
though her women friends surmised
that she must be at least ten years old
er than her husband to justify this
sensitiveness, it is quite possible that
she was nothing of the sort. She did
not look it. She merely had horror
of being reminded of the passage of
time.
This was. Of course, very unusual
case, but it is sufficient evidence that
n woman can keep secret and she
will.-Baltimore News.

Announcement that Senator and
Mrs. Hanna will build $4,000 resi-
dence in Lake avenue, Cleveland, o.,
for their daughter, Miss Mabel, when
she marries Harry A. Parsons, proves
false the rumor that the old folks did
not sanction the match.
Contrary to the general impression,
Parsons has never claimed for himself
any unusual degree of inherent or ac-
quired ability as an artist. For the last
few years he has been most devoted
and enthusiastic student in the anna

None of his specimens is offered for

work that have been preserved are to

SAD END OF ROMANCE.
Prctty Virginia Girl Who Was Maid,
wife and widow In the Space
OF Ten Minutes.

Ten minutes was the brief space Of
time in which Miss Mildred Deuel., of
Richmond, Va, counted the stages of
life which most women reckon by
years. In that short while she was
maid, wife and widow, and the ro-
nance which had filed her dreams
had been realized and shattered. She
became Mrs. Richard Miles Stanton
while her husband was dying, victim
of fever contracted in the service of
his country in the Philippines.
Three years ago Miss Deuel., the
daughter of n theater manager in
Richmond, became engaged to young
Stanton. She was but II years old,
and the objections of her parents ruled
the young people when they talked of
marriage. A year later the young man
obtained commission as lieutenant In

these Miss Hanna has always been his
most ardent admirer.
1t is said that Parsons first became
intimate with Senator Hanna through
his striking cartoons. 1t is more than
likely, however, that he came within
the senator's favor through the devo-
ton of Miss Mabel, from whom he had
derived his chief source of inspiration
"Pike" Parsons, as he is familiarly
called by his fellow students, entered
the antique class of the Cleveland art
school in 1897 and continued in the
class of the following year. Then he
was taken in hand by Miss Anna Wal
worth, woman well known in art cir
cles at Cleveland, and at her sugges-
tion studied in New York and Phil
adelphia.
Miss Mabel and Parsons have been a
most devoted couple during the last
few years. Their intimacy was formed
in early childhood. 1t is said that her
devotion to HIM has been so fervent
that her will has always Deen subser-
Went to his.
In his turn Parsons has been her
most constant and devoted attendant
and a most intimate associate of the
senator's family.

that she will prevail. She is about "a

TOO MUCH DRAPERY.
Curtains Should he Used SpnrinRly

"The crusade against the tendency
of the modern housekeeper to swathe
her windows and doors in draperies has

isary expert the other day. Il go into
houses, many of them, and into small
flats, where triple layer of curts ins

the windows were solid wall. When /
scold, the chatelains say: we must
have curtains and draperies, they are
so artistic i will concede one set of
thin curtains at certain windows of
the house, with preferably none in bed
rooms or nurseries. If thin curtains
are needed in bedroom they should
be of fabric that can be easily laun-
dered, or of weave of lace that may
be kept free from dust by light brush
