Obituary..

In loving remembrance OF our dear
sister. Huldia r. Senseny. who departed
this life September 3, 1902. Gone, out
not forgotten
yTls hard TO break the tender cord,
When love has bound the heart;
,Tis hard. so hard TO speak the words
Must we forever part?
Dearest loved one. we have lsidfhee
In the peaceful graves embrace;
But thy memory will be cherished,
'Till we see thy heavenly face.
We miss thee from our home, dear,
We miss thee from thy place;
A shadow DER our life 10 cast
We miss the sunshine OF thy race.
We miss thy kind and willing hand,
Thy fond and earnest care.
Our home is Ozark without thee
We miss thee everywhere.
One by one earth's ties are broken,
As we see our love decay,
And he hopes so fondly cherished.
Brighten, but 10 pass away.
One by one our hopes grow brighter
AS we near the shining s7ore:
For we know across the river,
Walt the loved ones gone before.
BY HER SISTER.

received more universal approval than

highly they may be recommended. but
give this medicine as directed and all
symptoms Of Group will quickly disap-

IT is said that the President will
call an extra session of Congress to
pass bill against the trusts if moth
ing is done at this session. This is
only bluff, for the President is in
deed gulhble if he expects either this
Congress or the next to oppose the
trusts. Neither was elected for this
purpose, and everybody knows it.
For instance, is there one Repre-
sentative or Senator from West Vir-
GINA who would vote against the
trusts?

The Legislature.

The West Virginia Legislature con-
vened in Charleston yesterday in It's
regular biennial session. The caucus
nominees of the Republicans were
elected in both houses as follows:
President of the Senate, Clark w.
May, OF Lincoln county; clerk, John
T. Harris, Of Parkersburg sergeant
alarms. Lewis Largent, of Morgan
county; doorkeeper, David S. Petit
grew, of Nicholas county. Speaker of
the House of Delegates, Frank P.
Meats, of Parkersburg; clerk, Harry
Shaw, Of Marion county; sergeant-at-
arms, H. NJ. Worden, of Tucker coun-
ty; doorkeeper, J. T. Maynor, of
Fayette county.
Senator William Campbell, Of Jetfer-
son county, was honored by the Dem
ocrats with their votes for President
of the Senate, and Alfred c. Kenny,
of Calhoun, received the Democratic
vote for speaker of the House.
The Governors message was given
to both houses yesterday. 1t is doc
ument Of l07 printed pages and gives
a comprehensive review of the needs
of the State.
The thing of chief interest that will
claim attention this session is the re-
port of the State Tax Commission and
the bills that will be introduced to
carry into effect its recommendations.
This commission was created by the
last Legislature to investigate into the
present tax system of the State with a
view Of revising and improving it.
The bill that will no doubt attract
the most interest will be one designed
to abolish the present State tax, and
place tax upon coal, oil, and gas.
The revenue from these three sources
alone will, it is claimed, be sufficient
to carry on most of the State govern
ment.
The salaries of all Judges are to be
fixed and there will probably be re-
arrangement Of the judicial circuits,
increasing the present number of cir
cults from Is to probably 20.
The adoption of the several amend
ments to the State Constitution, voted
upon at the recent election, provides
for the appointment of fifth member
Of the Supreme Court of Appeals,
makes the Office of Secretary of State
elective and provides for a rearrange-
ment of the salaries of all State officers.
There will be bill for the rear
rangement Of the county assessments
and change in the work Of the as
SCISSOR.
Delegate NJ. P. Shawkey, of Kama
wha co nty, has prepareda bill which
will provide for a State compulsory
school law more stringent than the
present measure.
Delegate Cunningham, of Tucker
county, it is said, will introduce bill
providing for the establishment Of a
high school in each county.
All of the State institutions ask for
increased appropriations, and some adj
ditional buildings will be urged.
The penitentiary at MoundsviIle
will probably get large appropria-
ton for new buildings which are bad
ly needed.
Nearly all the larger cities will APP
ply to the Legislature either FOR au-
thority to adopt new charters or to
amend the old ones, so that large
part of the session will be devoted to
consideration of these measures.
The membership of the lower house
of the Legislature has been increased
from II to sc during the last two
years, while the Senate will have 4
additional members.

IT is pretty generally agreed that
President Roosevelt is doing neither
himself nor the colored race any good
by his bullheaded attempts to force
colored office-holders upon the people
of the South. The white people and
the respectable element of the colored
people are getting along very well to-
gether under existing conditions, and
the Presidents action will only create
strife and anger where there is now
harmony. 1t takes broad-minded
man to see the real situation in the
South. We fear that the President
doesn't get hold of the matter.

The Pennsylvania Railroad has
now acquired practical control of all
the important railroads in the eastern
part Of the United States, the Read
ing road being the last to drop into
its capacious nav. The laws of the
State of Pennsylvania forbid one rail-
road from purchasing or operating
another competing line. The Penn
sylvania gets around this difficulty by
buying the Reading through the B. &
O., which it also owns-a fragrant vi
olation Of the spirit of the law, of
course, but one which will never be
questioned, for this great corporation
also owns the State-legislative, ex-
ecutive and judicial. 1t is a pretty
serious thing to have the railroad sys-
TEN of a great section of the country
controlled by one set of men, for mil
lions Of people are at their mercy
Better have government control, say
