Senator Elklns Shy.

Senator Elkins is very interest
ing talker. He has talked to this
paper and told us some very pretty
things. They are calculated to make
every body feel good and that is one
of the things at which tie Senator
is an adept. He can distribute
salye so that it makes the recipient
feel better than any other man in
the state can do it.
But when it comes down to the
question OF tax reform there was
nothing doing. Your Uncle Stephen
Brer Rabbit he lay low and he
says nothing.
On this point he would be widely
read and no matter which way he
might decide he would be widely
cussed. And probably this is the
reason that he has no opinion to
express on the tax problem.
He will have to declare himself
before long however The problem
is one of such size that he will have
to say where he stands. When he
does it will have big influence in
settling the matter.

TWO OLD HORSES
Captured by poIiee-ouners will not
Claim Them--fer sale for Feed.

Two old horses, gray, and bay
are being ted at as many livery
stables at the city's expense. So far
no owner can be found who will
claim them, and buyers are very
scarce, for that kind of horse flesh.
Nearly a month ago, an old white
horse was found loose on Front
street. He was captured by the po-
lice, but all efforts to find his owner
have been SO far unsuccessful He
is being fed at Hayes, livery barn.
The bay horse was captured in
South Morganfown. 1t is said te
belong to colored man named Yves,
who bought it from Frank Pride
West can not be found.
The city authorities offer the pail
for sale, singly or together. Enough
is wanted out of them to pay the
feed bills. 1t will be hard to ge'
this and the animals may have Il
be killed.

JOINT RAIDED
Sid Mcclung Arrested, His
Booze and Cards Conhscated.

Deputy Sherif-s Visited Place on Bum
BIO Lane at Midnight Saturday
Pound only the Proprietor-Kept
lots Of Things for his own Amuse-
ment.
DEPUTY Sheriff d. c. Core and half
a-dozen assistants raided what was
thought to be booze and poker joint
Saturday night. Sid McCiung was ar-
rested as the keeper OF the place, and is
now in jail TO await hearing. Nc one
else was found in the room, and 1t is
thought the men who bad patronized
the joint had got wind Of the proposed
raid and made themselves scarce.
The ''jointn was run in a small
building In the rear Of Rice's residence
on Bumbo Lane. Deputy sheriff:
Core, Demoss, and Robinson, of Bat
telle district, with some members Of
the city police force and a number oil
men who went along to see the fun,
entered the house about midnight
Saturday. They found McClunp
asleep, or pretending TO be.
A search was made and two jug:
full OF whiskey, several jugs partly
empty, two barrels Of empty beer-bot
ties, evidently prepared to ship back
jug Of butter milk, some pint bottle.
OF whiskey, peck or two Of poke
chips and dozen or more ragged decks
OF cards were found. These were con
flscated and McClung was placed il
| Jail.
The man under arrest is 40 or 4.
years OF age and is plasterer b.
trade. 1t is said there are two o.
three witnesses against him who's,
evidence will be sufficient to hold hin
for the tender mercies of the grand
jury
This is following up the exampl,
set ia the RAID some time ago on Con
ley aud Falls place, and it is said t.
be the intention of the officers to rait
several other places, where it is sup
posed booze is sold and the grea
gambling game is played.
McClung claimed when arrested tina
the booze wds for his own private use
aud the cards and chips for his OWL
amusement He will probably hav
an opportunity Of proving this at tn
October term of court.

pitals-Attempts ON Presidents Life
Becoming Frequent.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 5-An-
other attempt was made on
the life of President Roosevelt
this morning. A man who is
identified as Peter Elliot, Of
Milwaukee, called at the
White House and demanded
to see the President. He
was refused by one of the
doorkeepers and a terrible
fight ensued.
Elliott used a knife on the
guard, who retorted in kind,
and both men were fatally
wounded. They have been
placed in hospitals and it is
thought that Elliott will not
recover.
When searched a big CUR
was found on his person. He
is thought to have been in
sane and the impression is
general here that he meant te
kill the President. Many
other attempts have beer
made. recently on the Presi
dents life by cranks and crazy
people, but these are for the
most part suppressed.
