The citizens of Morgan county in
the vicinity of Great CacaIon are
greatly stirred mp over the prevalence
of SMALLPOX in that nelghborhnod.
From messages received from Great
Cacapon 1t aunears that the situation
is alarming.
Across the river in Washington

cases of the disease ana so far there
have been two deaths in that locaii-
tv. The local health officer at Great
| Uaeapon has established a quarantine
against the citizens cross the river
he has four or five men constantly on
guard along the river front. The cit.
lzens of MARYLAND had been in the
habit of coming across the river TO
deal at the West Virginia stores. but
since the establishment of the quar-
antlne this has been stopped.
DIR S. N. Myers, the president of

FIRE IN STABLE YARD.

The sounding of the fire alarm We'd

The cause of the alarm vas a burn

DAWSON FOR WHITE
THE SECRETARY OF STATE BOLDLY
ANNOUNCES HIS PREFERENCES.
Hopes That Present Scrap VIII Result
I'm the Election Of the Sig
ntfcent Statement From "a Big
Member Of Admins
tTnttCn.

Wheeling June 10 II do not know
how the senatorial fight NAV result.
but | hope it Will result in the nomi-
nation and election of A. Il. White. =
This was the verv clear and emphat-
ie remark made by Secretary of State
w. NJ. .. Dawson in speaking of the
senatorial fight. There have been a
great many rum Jrs that Gov. White
contemplated entering the senatorial
race. and on M or two occasions
Gov. White has emphaticallv denied
that he was or would be a candidate.
1t is evident, however, that there is
a strong disposition on the par IF
the governors friends TO force him
into the field. and IN the event of the
three %cornered fight growing too
warm for any one of the pre- en-
avowed candidates to win. he would
bera very likely compromise candi-
date.
The Immediate interes. of such a
declaration as this by Mr.. Dawson
is its effect on Senator Scott's candi-
dacy. 1t has been presumed that the
state ad .ninlstration was solid and en-
thusiastic for Senator Scott's re-elec-
ton. 1t is evident that Mr.. Dawson
is not only secretary of state. but
chairman of the republican state ex-
ecutive committee.

THE Cuban American League. -
saws Mr.. Mcdowell. "desire to thank
you for vour resolution in favor of
Cuba's political union with the Unit

could be blind to this has been beyond
our understanding. The war debt of
Cuba. both to her soldiers and bond
holders. should be honorably met. 1t
will not be as large as the proportions
