best interests of the county, but also
the entire state. The papers of West
Virginia have spoken in highest terms
of this distinguished gentleman and
several of them have suggested him as
the proper person to send to the
United States senate next time.
Among these complimentary notices
has been quite a number, suggesting
that he be chosen speaker of the

tive experience is strong argument
10 his favor. His splendid knowledge
of the law and legislative affairs make
him an indispensable member of the
legislative body. His em1nence in the
party councils strengthens the cam

The splendid work he has done for the
Republican party ever since it was
organized commends him, in fact, ap-

If he should be chosen, and he

congratulate itself at the end of the
term upon the wisdom it made in
choosing Judge Maxwell speaker.

IMPOSTORS
Man and Woman OF pestltutIon

Hailed From Cincinnati Month AGO
and Not parkersbura.

Soliciting aims for living is not a
'ery pleasant business at any time and
in winter is not at all Inviting. There
are some people who do not mind the
chilly blasts of winter and prefer to
beg rather than work. This appears
20 be the case with the man and wo-
man who represented themselves here
two days ago as Mr.. and Mrs. Sherman
Riggs from Parkersburg. The same
fellow was here month ago and told
the same distressing story about his
house having been destroyed by fire
and his children burned to death.
But It was in Cincinnati and and not
In Parkersburg. His story is all right
and gets the needful but it does not
hold good. He could not have had
homes in Cincinnati and Parkersburg
at the same time and the same chill
dren at both places at the same time.
They are, evidently, impostors.

hannou, writes to the Telegram that
the 100000 endowment fund, a cam
paign for the raising Of which was be-

CONTEST
Which Should Prove Popular With
School Children.


The school children of the city have
an excellent opportunity to display
their knowledge of composition. This
opportunity is afforded them by the
West Virginia Heating and Plumbing
Company, one of the most enterpris-
ing concerns ir olarksburg. That firm
shows its interests in the children and
wants to get in close touch with them
in their educational pursuits. Every
pupil should read their advertisement
and then try their hand at writing a
letter on the Black Cat. 1t will do
them good.

President Roosevelt Proud of Delegation From
West Virginia. Support Will be Given by
Many Members of Congress.

The latest move on the political
chess board is the determination of
Senator Stephen, B. Elkins and the

together with the loyal aid of various
other members OF the National Con-
gress to push Senator Nathan Bay
Scott, Of West Virginia, as cabinet
oficer, for-the head of the commerce
department, to be established. 1t is
pointed out that, strictly speaking,
the south is not represented in the
cabinet, as at present constituted.
Secretary Hitchcock is from Missouri,
but the citizens of that state prefer to
be called western. 1t is well known
that President Roosevelt is proud Of
the solid delegation from West Vir-
ginia and would'n like to ignore the
State, when the appointment is to be
made, and it is not believed that he
will. A prominent o. S. Senator in
speaking of the proposed appointment
last night said: .swest Virginia is en-
Titled TO the appointment, for the rec
ognition of the great successes Of the
Republicans in that State IN the last
Few years. Senator Scott is emInently
qualified for the position. He has al
ready had to deal with many of the
questions that will come under the
control of that department. Besides

ROOSEVELT OPPOSES

His Ultimatum Stirs up Bitter Feel
ing in Utah and Will he Resented.
President Kindly but Firmly Advises Against
Election of any Apostle.

Salt Lake, Utah, January ga
morning paper publishes washing.
ton interview with Senator Kearns,
on the election of a Senator to succeed
Senator Ra Wins, In which Kearns is
quoted as saying: eThis afternoon
President Roosevelt requested me to
state, that he very much hoped no
Mormon apostle would be elected. He
based his expression and interest on
the firm belief that the selection Of an
apostle would arouse bitter feeling and
do irretricvable injury to the best In
terests OF ULah."
President Roosevelt said II feel
deeply Interested In the future ofUtah
in itsmaterial upbuilding, as well as
the futusc and best interests of the
Republican party. The election to
the Unlted states Senate of an apos.
tie would work great harm to the
State, would be very unwise, would
certainly lead TO contention, strife
and bitterness here, If not in Utah,
would unq questionably be a misfortune
10 those interested in all that goes to
make the Seate of Utah prosperous i
have every confidence in the wisdom
Of the mai rlty of the members { I the
Utah Legislature, and feel sure II they
understoo the gravity of the situa-
tion as 1t appears to me, and as 1 have
heard 1t expressed by members of the
Senate, they would refrain from any
action which will not result in good
for the future OF Utah and its people.
l desire ynu to place me on record as
kindly but firmly advising against the
election Of any apostle to the United
States senatorship.
The allet ed ultimatum from Presi-
dent Roosevelt demanding that Apos.
tie Reed smoot Withdraw from the
senatorial race, has caused great ex-
element here. 1t develops that tsmoot
and the Mormon Church sent an em.
lssary to see President Roosevelt last
week. This man is expected here to.
day, and he will personally deliver
Rooseyelt's message to Smoot. The
apostle, however, is defiant.
Iwili notquit the race; have it
@on," he declared when first told of
the Presidents demand. Later smoot
qualified this statement.
"This is unprecedented,n ? declared
Mr.. smoot. I'm any other State in
the Union such action on the part of
the President would be resented. i

harm me. can not tell what action

stantinople.

Late estimates by competent authorities place
the gold yield of the Klondike region this year at
not less than s1OO0OOOO with fair chance for $11
100000 There has been slight decrease compared
with 1902.
1t appears certain now that the famous gold
field of the Yukon Valley, will neither flash in the
pan" and become Insignificant as a source of pre-
cious metal in few years as many predicted would
be the case and equally clear that it will not justify
the sangune expectations of many other miners,
who were sure that it would develop into gold
region equal to any previously discovered. The
Klondike is going to last many years as more or
less important source of gold, but it does not
possible that it exceed the output
reached in the second or third year it's existence
In British North America gold has been found
in many places often with fair prospects of uncov-
ering extensive and very rich deposits but so far
Canada has always failed to score strike" of the
first magnitude. However, the Dominion has so
much unexplored or halftested territory that almost
anything may be found within its wide boundaries.
Meanwhile Canadian forests and fertile fields and
Canadian water power and mines of iron and coal
are building up the business interests and wealth
of the country so fast that its gold fields are rem
dered comparatively unimportant.

All the news from European capitals and all that

in Eastern Asia by the chance of war between Bull

Russian statesmen know that they cannot lose

They have seen how slowly events move in the Lee

on far more rapidly on the Pacific coast of Asia 1t
