PROF. MILLER COMMENDED
by the Worlds Fair Officials for hi,
Original ideas.

Hon. Thomas e. Miller, state super
intendent of free schools of West Vir-
ginia, who has consented to take
charge Of the states educational ex-
hibit at the Worlds Fair, has been
heartily commended by the Worlds
Fair, officials for some of his original
ideas for exploiting the Fair in this
state. One idea which he has utilized
was to place the following on the pro-
gram Of every county teacher institute
being held this summer throughout
the state:
"The Louisiana Purchase EXPOSE
ton, The site, Plan of the grounds
The West Virginia building. How
shall West Virginia be presented edu-
cationally?"
These discussions will not only give
the Exposition wide publicity in West
Virginia, but at the same time de-
velop ideas which Mr.. Miller could in
corporate in his plans for the state
educational exhibit.
In this connection, Secretary
Charles M. Reeves, of the Worlds Fair,
writes Secretary A. H. Winchester as
follows:
II agree with you that the action
Of the state superintendent Of free
schools of your state, Mr.. Miller, is a
most excellent idea Of disseminating
information regarding the Worlds
Fair in West Virginia, l believe this
to be one Of the best methods that
could be used for enlightening the peo-
pie of West Virginia on this subject. "

So far as Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.
Bryan are concerned, we may as well
eliminate them from the Presidential
question. Each of these gentlemen
has many admirers among the public
men who visit the national capital
Many men who have always been
ardent admirers of Mr.. Cleveland
since his first election as President,
and who left the party with him in
1895, and supported the republicans
on the money question, have said
that he Is out of the running as a
candidate next year on account of
the prejudice against the third term
Tor any man. Many men who loyal
~ supported Mr.. Bryan in 1896 and
1900 agree that he cannot possibly
be called again. They still admire
him for his manhood, his brilliance
Of intellect, his oratory. his stead
fastness to principle and devotion to
the cause of the people, but they
admit that he cannot again be a
candidate.

Body of Joha Curtis
Found by Boys Yesterday Afternoon
Identified by Book and Shoes Re.
mains Buried at Two O'clock To-day.

The body of John Curtis. who was
drowned In Deckers Creek on the
fifteenth of February, 1903, was
found about four o'clock Monday
afternoon, by some boys fishing for
minnows near the P1ckenpauph
house. The body was very much
decomposed, and was identified by
the shoes and book in the pocket.
Curtis, it will be remembered,
attempted to cross the Deckers
Creek bridge, near the Valley Wood
Working Company's plant in com
pany with Hood and Doughertv.
He took hold of Hoods arm, when
they walked up the plank wall of the
abutment to avoid the mud. He
slipped, and fell into the creek,
pushing Hood before him. Hood
swan out, and called to him.
Dougherty and Hood both ran down
the bank, and told him to swim
ashore, waving lantern to indicate
the direction to him. They heard
Curtis utter cry several times and
then all was silent.
The men who saw the accident
notified M. j. Curtis, the drowned
mans brother. For several DAYS
scores OF people tried to find the
body but without avail. 1t was re
ported that Curtis had considerable
money on him, and there was talk
of foul play. His brother, however
denied this. Once body wai
found at Rice's landing that wal
thought to be Curtis, but his brother
satisfied himself that it was not.
Arthur Lawrence, Walter Windil
: and James Cole were the boys whit
first saw the body. They had beer

down along the bank looking fo
minnows. They saw the body hal
