MASON
FOR GoyERNoR IS THE LATEST Po-
I1ucAL SCHEME TO BE SPRUNG.
WHEELING TELEGRAPH ENTERS
INTO AN ARGUMENT IN
his FAVOR.
He Too Followed the Stars and Stripes
IN the Sixties.

1t is year before the two great pO-
litieal parties viii hoist their flags aad
prepare for the contest Of lsek but H,e
slSirmish line has already hem 4hrOEn
out and each IS loOldng out for a.leader
who win carry the hosts to victory or
defeat as the case may be, says the
Wheeling Telegraph.
The Republicans have within their
ranks those who: are seeking the nOmi-
nation for governor and there are others,
for wonder, who are willing to have
honors thrust upon them. The Demo
Gratis, who have not had easy sailing in
West Virginia for the past seven years,
have not SO many, either receptive or
pronounced candidates, and 50 far little
has been said eoncer1ing their probable
selection. The once popular leaders, the
Chiltons and MacCorkle, have retired.
partly because they were asked and part.
Iy because there is nothing in politics
any more for them, and the real leader
ship has devolved upon the Hon. John
T. 8feGraw, of Grafton. Who he will
care to place in nomination is not known
yet, but he will look about for the strong
est man. AfcGraE and his people are
going after the opposition 4for keeps
next year, 50 It is affirmed, by those
who are in a position to know.
Alessrs. Dawson, Dorr, Northcott, Cur
tin and others who have been in the
public eye for yeas are on the anxious
seat, and it is believed they wiz all be
before the convention next year. How.
ever, there Is cry in some quarters for
soldier. candidate, something this state
has never had in either party. Gen. Ro-
meo Il. Freer, who has always had the
largest following Of any man in West
Virginia, came within haiIing distance
of the goal in 1902 His great popularity
came near winning out over great odds.
He was the ideal representative Of the
boys in blue.
His name was magic wand which
undoubtedly, had he been the nominee.
would have led the party to triumph.
Yet there are others who followed the
stars and stripes in 'Gl and among them
Is the Hon. John W. Mason, of Marion
county. who viii appeal to that element.
Judge 9lason's name has been mentioned
III his own home paper, the West vir-
ginian, yet he has neTer signifed his in
tention of coming out as a fun fiedged
candidate. As citizen, lawyer and Judge
he has attained high rank and his char
acter has remained through years of pub
lie service unsuIlied. He possesses the
dignity that is necessary to the chief
executive and has all the qualifications
that go to make up safe and judicious
officer.
The soldier candidate may cut more
of a figure than is anticipated at the
next Republican state convention and IT
must not be forgotten that this end Of
the state has two men who must re-
ceive consideration, our own Richard
Robinson and Judge John W. Mason, Of
Fairmont.

QUIET
OPERATIONS
IN THE SALEM OIL FIELD ON Ac-
COUNT OF BAD ROADS AND
SCARCITY OF TIMBER.
Three Important Test Wells Are Being
Watched With Much Interest by
Competent OIL Men.

Salem, W. Va, March ls.-oH opera
tions in this section are unusually quiet
iust now. The conditions of the roads
renders it extremely difficult and expen-
sive to move material at this season. It
is not an unusual spectacle to see Ave
to eight teams on an ordinary load of
machinery.
Another factor which IS sure to affect
oil operations during the carly part Of
the coming season is the scarcity of lum-
Der for rg and taukase. HemlOck,
which is used for rig material in the
shallow territory, and for some purposes
in all oil country, is practically out Of
the market now and there viii be little
available until the season for cutting
opens fully. This, in all probability, will
be early in May, but the unparalleled de-
mand this year may cause unusual aetiy-
ity in the hemlock lumber regions when
the wood gets in condition TO work. The
small amount now in the rivers and mills
has all been contracted far in ady,pee
and is in great demand at an incr, .sed
price. In this section oak IS used al
most exclusively for derrick material,
but the supply is not equal to the de-
mand and several wells are being delayed
for want of 1unber-
Poplar, too, is in great demand and
reported equally scarce. One of the mills
reported that out of an order of Il car
loads of this material placed early in the
season they have been able to get but
two, and have been compelled to shut
down for some time.
Under these circumstances active op-
erations for this pring will begin rather
later than usual. but there is everyindi-
cation that they will be prosecuted with
vigor during the summer. A prominent
South Penn official Is authority for, the
statement that one hundred locations
viii be made in this territory by the
company during the year. It is no
ticeable fact that there is much activity
Just now in leasing territory in the i'm
mediate neighborhood, and even town
lots are being taken up. There is very
little available property now to be had
Three very important test wells arc
now under way and are being watched
with much interest by competent oil
men. Experts have agreed for long
time that there was connection between
the two important fields surrounding the
town. But numerous attempts to locate
the line have resulted only in gassers
Settled production has gradually beer
nearing the center, however, until ;thes,
is only comparatively short distane,
separating the Greenbrier field and tho
field to the north and east, which ha,
approached to a short distance from tn,
town. A test IS being started now or

northeast of town and another on til,

confidently expected that these two well,

MAN With
THE HOE
Japanese Fireman Keeps
Passengers z Hours
at Peninsula.

The man with the hoe in the
shape of a clumsy Japanese fireman,
managed to break UP the dummy en-
CINE that hauls the accommodation
train between Pearl City and the Pen
insula yesterday afternoon. Folks eX-
pecting to catch the through train at
Pearl City, arriving at Honolulu at
$50, went supperless for two hours in
consequence until a special engine was
despatched to bring them into town.
The dummy run by Tony, the en-
gineer, well known to Peninsula resi-
dents, has it's periodical breakdowns
and with it's weakness passengers are
never quite certain whether it will ac
complish it's journey. At every break
down, Tony gets a real engine on loan
and the passengers, and doubtless
Tony, devoutIy hope that the dummy
will be relegated to the scrap heap.
But up to the present the dummy Is
always mended in the railroad hospital
and is sent back convalescent and
wheeling, until another breakdown oc-
ours. 1t is practically a boiler and
furnace of simple type entirely enclos-
tive power by chain gear. The Japa-
nese fireman who feeds it. rakes out
it's ashes and waters it, uses a hoe for
the ash raking process. Yesterday,
when he was through, he thrust the
hoe back under the boiler and cleverly
mixed it up with the chain gear.
When the passengers went at 4:40 to
start for Pearl City, the engine was
in pilikia nui. The hoe and the chains
had become mixed and the gear was
sadly demoralized. All Tony's en-
deavors could not make a move. AS
this is the last connection ito town the
passengers were not contemplating the
delay with enthusiasm, but in the dis
tance the arrival and departure of the
with the dummy still at a standstill.
Friends and relatives at the Homo
lulu end awaited dinner. then ate it
and then began to think of shipwreck
and disaster, while at the Peninsula
end darkness came on apace and ap-
petites grew with the night.
Finally deliverance, in the shape OF
special engine from Honolulu, show
ed a welcome headlight and the be-
lated ones gladly climbed aboard to
arrive in town at seven-thirty.

There is only one test by which to

MANY SEEK STABBER.
One Hundred Italians Scour Woods
-Wound SAID To Be Fatal.

One hundred Italians, bent on revenge
searched for two hours last evening in New-ho-
chee for young man who is accused OF nav
ing stabbed another there. Darkness put an
end to the search. 1t is believed that the tusl-
tive got away, although the Italians ana the
police watched for him all the evening.
In the afternoon francesca DonOfra, sixteen
years old. of No. 525 Man-st.. New-Rocheiie,
and some other young Italians had been play
ing cards in the house of DOnOfra's parents.
Among the players was Niehola SylYestro. He
is said to be two years older than Donofira.
Late in the afternoon there was quarrel and
a fight. and Sylvestro is alleged to have drawn
a knife and stabbed Donofira in the right side.
The wound is said to be almost certainly fatal.
Drs. Littlewood and Codding. who attended the
injured boy, did not think he would live long.
In the excitement following the stabbing Syl-
vestrO made his way out of the house and OBJ
tanned a start of twenty minutes. II is said he
went toward the Pelham woods. and there the
clubs and revolvers and threatened to kill the
fugitive. but they were either mised to which
way he went or he made his way through the
woods in safety.
When the police arrived at the house where
the stabbing took place the father and mother
of the wounded boy begged them, the police say.
not TO search for the youth who stabbed their
son. as he would be taken care Of by their
friends. This caused the police to turn out the
reserves to aid in the search in order to save
the young mans life.

a neighbor says he was sitting across the street
