Evangelist Prays God to Punish Man
who WrOnged His Child-Sensation
at ParkersburT.

PARKERsBURG, w. Va, May g.
While addressing crowd of about
one thousaod people on the court
square tonight, Evangelist John Nc
Cue announced that his seventeen
year-old daughter, Estelle, had been
abducted, and while making no direct
accusation, said that certain parties of
considerable prominence in the city
were guilty of her recent downfall
His announcement created great sem
sation. The police were asked to
take immediate action and search Of
the city and nearby towns will be
made. The evangelist was evidently
much concerned and troubled over the
matter, and wept as he made the pub
tic announcement relating to his
daughters wrong doings.
He asked Providence to lend him
power to withstand the shock of the
terrible disgrace and to punish the
wrong-doer who had created such ter
rible sorrow in the McCue home. The
preacher said that his wife was so af-
fected by the shock of the disgrace
that she was Frustrated.

Death of Miss Rebeeca Evans.

EyANs-Miss Rebecca Evans died
at the residence of Mr.. and Mrs.
f. A. Hennen In this place on Tues
day May 9th, 1903, aged 70 years
and four days. For more than nine
years she has been an invalid, en-
tirely helpless, suffering from par
alysis. When she breathed her last
the life of very remarkable woman
was ended. She had spent it in
ministering to her friends Her life
had been givnn almost entirely to
others and the love and esteem in
which she was held showed that her
work had not been in vain. She had
been a mother to Mrs. Hennen as
well as TO dozen other neices and
nephews. When a young woman
she gave up many opportunities and
practiced much self denial that she
might do good to others Miss
Evans came Of one OF the pioneer
families OF this part of Virginia.
Her grand father came to what is
now Morgantown before the revolu-
ton and settled on what is known
as the Evans farm now owned by
o. III. Ollie, Mrs. Ollie being his
great-grand daughter. Here gen
Grafton ago was brought up one Of
whom was Raleigh Evans, Miss Re
becea's father. He lived to be over
80 years of ago aud spent his entire
life here bringing up a family of
seven daughters and three sons but
two of whom SUI vive, Mrs. Sarah j.
Fleming, of this place and Mrs.
Sophia Conway whose home is in
Belmont county, Ohio. She is al
most 80 years of age. During her
long affection Miss Evans received
constant and loving care Nothing
was left undone that could add to
her comfort The devotion shown
her bore testimony TO the esteem
and affection in which she was held.
She leaves us with the love of all.
The funeral will take place from the
residence of Mr.. Hennen OF WedGes-
day afternoon at $3.50 o'clock. The
interment will be in Oak Grove.
She rests in peace

Panama, Colombia, May 5-The
Nicaraguan revolutionary junta here
has received report from General
Emeliano Chamorro saying that the
Nicaraguan government steamer Once

vessel Victoria. The entire crew of
the government boat was lost, not
withstanding the efforts made to save
them. The rebel victory at Acoyapa

Carlos have been confirmed. The
members Of the junta are hopeful or
success, and declare that the rebels
cannot be attacked, the government
forces being not sufficiently strong to
do SO.

At the directors meeting held IL the

directors were named to take up in an

subscriptions, and it was felt that with
the money already assured there Is lit
tie standing in the way Of success, with
energetic work on the part Of all con-
cerned.
Col. Slemp, who was seen for a brief
moment at the Hotel Roanoke, about
l1:3O o'clock last night, stated that all
the necessary plans were being formu-
lated carefully, and that with the pre-
liminary work completed and the char
ter obtained, which latter they would
shortly have, that the question OF plant
and other important matters would
be taken up at once. Those in charge

MANN BILL is NOW A LAW.

Governor Montague has signed tn,
general revenue bill, which embrace,
the Mann Liquor act, and it is now y
law. The total revenue raised by the
bill will, it is estimated, reach $4,000
600. The bill increases the State license
tax in cities from $500 to $500 and the
county tax from 800 to Sl75. Under
the Mann bill no person in the country
districts Of the State or in "a town of
less than 500 can obtain license to sell
liquor without the consent OF the major
ity Of the registered voters OF his dis
trict, their views TO be asceI tanned by
petition. Revocation Of the license OF
any liquor dealer violating the law is
made compulsory. 1t is estimated that
at least $50 saloons in Virginia will be
swept out OF existence by the Mann
law.

UNWARR ENTED PRESUMPTION.

Zone victory won makes the next
one easier" is an old proverb, and like
most proverbs, has its exceptions and
limitations. 1t all depends upon how
and why the victory was won. Victo-
nes are sometimes forerunners OF
defeat next time.
The Republicans won in the last
Congressional election in the Ninth dis
trict, Col. Slemp defeating Judge Rhea
for Congress. This victory has en-
Doldened the Republicans to imagine
that therefore their chances are good
to carry the district in 1904, and some
OF them have presumed so far as to
hope to elect the next governor OF the
State. Certain disaffections, or sup
posed disaffections and dissatisfaction
among the Democrats caused by GER
tain provisions of the new constitution
have augmented and encouraged this
hope
1t is true, that Judge Rhea was de-
feated, and also true, that there is a
little grumbling among Democrats, but
neither nor both OF these causes com.
bined furnish sufficient grounds for
such revolutionary hopes as that the
State, or even the Ninth District can be
captured by the Republican party in
the next election. AS to Judge Rhea's
defeat 10y bare majority, the cause
which effected it are well known. Col.
Slemp's election by heroic efforts on
the part OF his friends and the free use
OF funds on his pant, was no test or
evidence of the real strength of the
party in the district. Neither was the
small vote received 10y Judge Rhea any
evidence OF the weakness OF the Demo
Gratis on the other hand.
AS TO the disafTection i'm Democratic
ranks, when was there ever time when
there were not kickers and soreheads?
And as TO this, the Republicans are
" disaffected themselves, and the war
has just commenced. The hopes OF the
Republicans are delusive, and can only
be realized by lethargy and indifIer-
ence-evils more To be feared and
guarded by Democrats than either the
strength of the Republicans on the one
hand, or the dissatisfaction OF few
pie-hunters in their own ranks.
