SENSATIONAL STORY
Sent Out From Wheeling Indignantly
Denied in County Augusta.

The people of Warrington are as
mad as hornets over story sent TO a
Cincinnati paper from Wheeling. The
dispatch is as follows:
"a Wheeling special TO the Post
says that the pubic schools of Man
nington (W. Va have been closed by
the mayor, who contemplates closing
the churches and saloons on account
of the small pox. Travelling sales
men visiting the town are unable to
transact business because of the fright
Of the people"
A Warrington dispatch says: THE
authorities have read the dispatch
sent out from Wheeling to the Cincin-
natl papers and from Cincinnati tt
the Publishers Press and others, and
they brand it as a lie.
The physicians in charge say tina,
there is but one case with two con-
valescent in the city and that there il
absolutely no danger of contagion."

session Of the officers Of the law, be ne
longer held, and praying that they

With a red hot fight on in
Kanawha county between Jodie

ward, new Richmond looms up in
the person of A. McV. Miller, from
Monroe. Keep your eye on A.McV.
that is if his flop to the flesh pots
OF the G o. p. is not considered as
being effected with too much recen-
cy to entitle bin to congressional
honors. But there is Dorr as a
precedent. He was younger in the
fold when he went to congress by
several years than A. McV. is now.

MVRGANTOwN REPUBLICANS
Disappointed oyer Committees Deci-
sion to Hold Convention in Chicago.

Morgantown republicans share
the general disappointment felt in
this section over the failure of
Pittsburg to secure the next Ma
tional convention OF that party. The
committee in Washington Saturday
turned the smoky City down by an
overwhelming majority, only seven
votes being counted in its favor.
One of these was by Senator Scott
of West Virginia. The reason given
by the men who favored Pitttburg
for losing out is that the city does
not have hotel accommodations Tor
gathering as large as the conven-
tion will cause.
Many people in this section had
promised themselves the pleasure OF
attending national political con
vention and the news that the one in
question would again go to the
Windy City caused no little disap-
pointment. The date of the con-
vention is june 81, 1904.

News reached Nome yesterday of q threatened outbreak of the hobuh river natives against the white men in that section. The new, came hA te!c- phone from J. J. Mckay, the mail car rier between Council City and Candle. Mckay stated that Paddy DDOnnciI and h,s partn,r had returned to Candle from sohuun;tk, the scene of d reported strike. i,l. a,si,ratcc. Lltt,c ere eice is piaced n be port. The military authorities Il, Eo.t DavI, have not been notified of any lruubIc, auG u la argued that II danger were imminent they would be first informed.
 A telephone message received by THE NUGU IT nom tUuu,i il -ta eel that Mckay had mo O'DonnvIl Ju-t a, the former was leaving Candle. O'Donncll had made d forced mu,h to secure aid and his dogs were played out. The natives. O'Donnell said, had plenty ot firearms, but no grub, anu the white men on the ,hunuak had no firearms, but had prov sion, and they were greatly excited.
 There sa difference of opinion among Candle City me- now in No.ue as to the 1 condition of Nobuk natives. On the ole hand. it i, alleged that tie. are s ,nrt of food aLd .ei. ""edi'ine me-" have told them that for every stake uIi> en ln the grUunO by hite nj IS any number 0. fish e are away from the Kubuk. lhese mt dicine men or Shamai 8, are ad pe0 le, so 1t Is said, and they have the power to excite the natives to al d, toni Ii 7 degree.
 Judge Mllroy, of an-le, W is in town, when seea by a NC GET repre- sentative in reference to the above story suld that hr took no a,Ucn m as far as it relerreI to all uprislns by the natives. He said:
 Paddy O'Donnell. Tim Sullivan and Jack Cronin leit Candle Jan. 6, for the Shunnak. They were lightly equipped and expected to make swift run in order to get in ahead of other parties. A couple of men who reached Candle from the Kobull in the early part of February, repolt ed sullivan and party in camp on oelu uwik lake, and 1t Wa, stated that Sullivan did not know whet her he would be able to get through h to the Shunnak or not, and It ls not probable that they reached the Shui.- nak in time to send back the report as indicated.

is known in Alaska that these same high officials have been connected in business with carpet-baggers who have gone to Alaska for the purpose of eX- ploitatiOn. Alaska has been the dump ing ground for broker-doWn politicians and the weak and unfortunate relatives of those who have q ''pull' at Wash inStO In the name of decency arG
 ,.amOn sense let there be an enu. Federal judges have been appointed tol Alaska who would not have made good justices of the peace at q four corners. "
 MT. lvey says Alaska's treatment and neglect will soon become d national scandal. Complaining of what has been done for Alaska heretofore, he says:
 We were given land offices without land laws, and we were a so given the luxury of a high-priccd agricultural expert and expert stations, which we need about as much as a wagon needs the fifth wheel, especially before the land laws were in operation. W hile the actual settler has been unable to secure homestead, land-grabhers from the east have purchased soldiers additional scrip at Washington and located many of the strategic points in A laska.
 For years our people have been ask ing for few cheap lighthouses for the protection of life and property. Congress appropriated over S40O,0U0 at the last session for this purpose, but the light house board says it cannot build them tor lack of funds. The board proposes to build lighthouses at cost of from Sio, GOO to $l25, GOO each, so we have to 20 without lighthouses indefinitely. Lighthouses costing from S1OOO to Sl, .OOO each are all that we have been asking for, and we will agree to take SlOO. coo of the $421 1000 appropriated and build all the Lighthouses we need. There is very ugly look to this light house question, especially when in all probability it will be found that these high-priced lighthouses were built in the wrong places. like the expensive custom house the government built at the entrance to Alaska some time ago, and which is now being used by the owls and hats. Almost every move made in Alaska by the government is wrong.'
 Mr. lvey reiterates bis remarks on the boundary question and asks the '.men who are running the nation'' when they intend to "call England's $ bluff" and regain control of the terri tory affected by the modus vivendi.
