GOVERNOR WILL. CO
TO WISCONSIN
10 Speak for the Democrats in
Madison on 0Gtobsr 18th.
an EigTsnE ED1aai.
An Urgent Ep2aai.

The friends OF Governor a. j. Montague
are 1nuch Glazed over the fact that His
E.xcellcncy has about determined TO ac-
cent some OF the pressing invitations ex-
tended to him to make speeches in other
STATES than Virginia this fan, and that II
Ills official engage1nents will permit ne
viii 20 10 at least two Of them.
Some tit.1e ago the State Committee, OF
iiidinna made an urgent request OF the
Governor to coTle out there and help the
Democratic nominees FOR Congress. Later
this request was augmented by one from
the National Congressional Committee at
Washington on the same line.
Meanwhile Colonel CASTOR, the Demo-
cratic nominee for Governor of Massa-
chusetts, invited the distinguished Viz
s!nian 10 sneak in Boston. Now Mayor
David S. Rose, of Milwaukee, who is the
Democratic nominee for Governor Of Wis
corsiil. appeals TO the Governor to speak
fol, him in the city Of Madison. which is
the capital, on October nth. when there
Will he d business mems carnival in pro-
tsiess.
Governor Montague has found that he
VIII be unable on account Of official en-
gagements at the capital, and for the
reason that he desires to meet the cam
paign demands upon him in his own
state. to accept all the invitations extend
ed him, but lie has about determined to
go to WISCONSIN,. and upon fits return to
sneak several times in Indiana.
The Governor has just received the fol-
lowing very complimentary telegram
from. Judge J. NJ Grigss. OF Georgia.
chairman of the National Democratic
Committee:
we must have YOU in indiana II not
on dates named by committee. wire me
quickly dates You can fill Can you make
two speeches a. day. This is q winning
cauraign. and we must have at least one
speaker from old Nirginia.S
These urgent appeals to the Governor
to go ont OF Virginia 10 SPEAK are very
gratifying to Ills Egcellency's frHnds. and
owing TO his wonderful ability as plat
form speaker. none of them fear that
ha Will not measure up to the highest
standard set for him. It Is expected
that the Governor will speak IN Madison,
Wis on October 18th. ana come back
through Indiana, in which State he will
make at least two speeches.

dred Cars Daily.
ny Assnr,ated Frcss.1


ROANOKE. VA, october 4.-The fol-
lowing official statement was given out
at the general offices Of the Norfolk and
Western Railway to-day:
instructions have been issued to run
coal trains on Sunday through the State
Of Virginia and elsewhere in order to eN-
pedite the shipments Of coal for the re-
lief of communities and interests suffer-
ing and imperiled for the want OF fuel,
and these coal trains win continue to run
on Sunday during the existing coal
famine
General managr l. e. johnson, of the
Norfolk and Western, was seen in refer
ence to teh above, and stated that this
move was necessary on account of the
unusual demand for coal. The laws Of the
State prohibit the running Of freight on
Sunday, but under the circumstances it is
thought the action of the railroad will
not be constructed into violation Of the
law.
The daily output OF coal in the Flat
Top and Pocahohtas fields along the lines
Of the Norfolk and Western is at present
eco cars. or about 1900 tons per day. The
full output of these mines is 900 cars
really but the tracks are SO badly con-
gested now that it is not possible to move
more than COO cars. With the Sunday
movement the Norfolk 8. Western expects
to he able to send to market 900 cars Or
Sc coo tons of coal daily.

r. t. VAUGHAN,
Independent Candidate for
Congress from 18th District

u. /. -a = . ]
In 1895 he was a delegate to the st.
Louis National Convention, and in the
same year was elected at home by the
Ioard of Supervisors as superintendent
of roads and bridges, which position he
filled with credit to himself and salts
facterily to his constituents during the
years 1896. 1897, 1905 and 1899, declining re-
appointments.
His ancestry may be traced to Revo-
llisicnary fame. 1rreproachable in all the
walks of private life is the reputation
enjoyed by Mr.. Vaughan.
In 1896 he married Miss Bessie Fergu-
son., daughter Of the Rev. Richard Fer
guson. Of the Methodist itinerary, and
is q consistent member of that church.
Upon the whiskey question he is no
faratic, but exemplifies in his own con-
duct tho belief that it should be used
only as medicine.
In politics his position Is strictly '.in-
dependent" believing in measures, not
men nor parties, but at present finding
the policies of the present able Federal
administration at Washington.
Such are the record and trusts of the
gentleman who believes, that the farmers
are not largely enough represented in
the councils of the nation, while the le-
gal fraternity constitutes these bodies al
1ncst who1ly-gentlemen who are not sup
gpcsed to know and feel the needs and
llardships of the farmer.
IT elected it will not be without consid-
cradle experience and equipment that he
will meter the National House of Repre-
sentativcs to represent effectively the con-
stituency of the Fourth District of Vir-
GINA.

Telephone messages were sent to
Brooklyn, but at the local office roth
ing was known concerning the where
abouts of De Varona. All places in the
department. to which De Varona might
have gone were called up but DE Varona
could not be located.
1t has been persstently urmored that
after the charges against Smith have
been heard. De Varona will be brought
up for trial.
IL Is not necessary for the Commits
sioner to bring charges against DE
Narona in order TO dismiss him, for
when he accepted the position of chief
engineer he went on the exempt list
and Is not protected by the Civil Ser

His old position was under the Civil
