MONEY NEVER DRAWN
For the Work of Investigating the
Affairs of this City.

Only one of the members of the In
vestigating Committee appointed by
the Council to investigate the affairs
of the city about year ago has yet
drawn pay for his work. This one is
R. F. Tremain and it is probable that
the other two membt rs, w. R Niven
and c. D. Campbell, will draw their
money, $50 each, within few days.
The Council refused to allow the
committee anything for the extra
time they put in on the work and
then the three members of the COM
mittee rendered the sum to Mayor
Haviland to defray expenses of court
costs in the cases which the Mayor
urged Council to bring to recover
amounts found due the city by the
Investigating Committee. The Coun-
Gil so strenuously opposed the bring
ing of suits and so unrelentingly re-
fused TO permit the question to get
into Court that Mayor Haviland
never the sums which have been
rendered him by the Investigating
Committee
Now the members expect to draw
their money and the thanks of the
citizens are due them for their work.

THE EIGHT on
hePOlitiCdl ASSdSSinS
Flash Their DaggerS
in the Face OF the
President.
Hundreds OF Dispatches
Sent to U. s. Senators
Against the Presidents Anti
Trust Policy by SO-Cdlled
Business Men.
The GlOved Hand of the -BuSi-
ness Man" Covers the Dag
ger of a Trust Advocate.

1t was announced in the dispatches
from Washington last week, that
Rockefeller had sent dispatches TO a
number of Senators. urging them to
vote against the EIkins antitrust
bill. The matter of these dispatch
es was published, and no one author
ized to speak, has denied their au-
thenticity.
Two of the antitrust bills have
become laws. and two of them are
before the Senate. One of these,
the Littlejohn bill, that has the sup
port of President Roosevelt, and
which passed the House with only
two votes against it, is now before the
Senate. There is strenuous opposi.
ton to it on the part of the Trust
magnates aud thousands of dispatch
es haxe been sent to Senators, from
men whV call themselves "business
men, urging them to defeat President
Roosevelt's antitrust legislation
They profess to have no objection tC
| antitrust legislation, but to be op
posed to Roosevelt's methods.
The public would like to know who
these business men are. They do moi
represent the press of the country
The press is practically .unanimou.
in favor of the Presidents efforts t,
secure antitrust legislation. They
do not represent any expression b,
Boards of Trade or Commerce. The,
do not represent any Legislative,
bodies. There have been no public
meetings expressing disapprobatiol
of the Presidents course. The unani
nous vote of the House, includin,
the Representatives of both parties
in favor of these bills, shows tha
they have heard from the people, an
know that the people are with tn
president.
These business men," therefore
are the Trust magnates who hav
tried to override the President an
fasten themselves upon the country
and the people will take in the situa
tion.
| Stand fast. Mr.. President. Tn
people are with you. You are fight
ing their battle, and you need nc
fear they will desert you. Their
is more courage and patriotism an
love of right, bound up in the Amer
can people than was ever found
any nation in this old world, an
neither greed, nor gold. nor lust {
. power will be allowed to harm or d,
, feat you.

R00SEVELT'S THREAT.
| Extra Session If Canal and Cuban
| Treaties Are No. Ratified.

Treaties Are No. Ratified.
Washington. Feb. 10. - President
Roosevelt will call an extraordinary
session of the senate OF the Fifty.
eighth congress unless both the Pan
ann canal and the Cuban reciprocity
treaties are ratified at the present ses-
sion. The president made this dec
laration Of his intention to several
senators, and he made it as emphatic
and unequivocal as he was capable
Of making II. II is deemed likely by
officials Of the administration and by
many senators that both treaties will
be ratified before March 4. but the
necessity for their early ratification is
regarded by the president as so
urgent. that in the event of the fail
ure of either one or both at the pres
ent session, he will issue Immediately
his call for an extra session.
It is said that there are grave rea-
sons OF state why both treaties should
be ratified as soon as possible. These
have induced the president to make
the announcement to senators Of his
determination.

stroyed the new building Of the Young

tain Square theater and several ada
cent buildings. causing a loss of $780,

that sum. The alarm came from the
Fountain Square tneater. formerly
known as Blacks opera house. When
the firemen reached the place they
found flames issuing from the rear OF
Mitchell's plumbing establishment
They soon reached the second story
and then communicated with the heat
er. There was much delay In getting
water. and very soon tire theater and

Joining and gave rise to a false report
that three men had been killed Mr..
Mulholland was painfully injured. but

suffered severely from the severe cold
weather.

Josie f. Grimes was born in Logan .
County. Ohio, June 5th, 1868 and
spent the happy years of her girl
hood with her parents and sisters in
the ancestral home near West Liber-
ty.
She was united in marriage to Ben
jamin F. Wirick, May 2Sth, 1882, and
went with him to his home on Mill
Branch where four children, three
daughters and one son, came to bless
their union. Her life was devoted to |
her family for whom no sacrifice of |
personal comfort was deemed too
great. In friendship she was true |
and earnest, unwavering in her de-
votion to those who enjoy her conf
dence. Though favored by fortune
beyond many of her associates, TO
touch of pride ever marred the beau
ty of her life. She united with the
Christian church a. Middleburg in
the fall of 1897, and contributed most
literally to its support.
| Her Christian life was deeds rather
than words and in the beautiful home
of which she was the presiding genius
were joined by bonds of purest friend
ship a host of loyal friends in whose
hearts her memory will live enshrined
although they now walk in the shadow
of great sorrow.

Cautionl

This is not a gentle word-but when you
think how liable you are not to purchase
the only remedy universally known and u
remedy that has had the largest sale o; any
medicine In the world since is6s for the cure
and treatment OF consumption and throat and
lung troubles without losing its great popu-
larity all these years. you will be thankful
we called your attention TO Boschee's German
Syrup. There are so many ordinary cough
remedies made by druggists and others that
are cheap and good for light colds perhaps.
but for severe Coughs, Bronchitis. Croup-and
especially for Consumption, where there IS
difficult expectoration and coughing during
the nights and mornings. there Is nothing like
German Syrup. The q cent size has just been
introduced this year. Regular size 75 cents.
At all druggists.

PRESIDENT Roosevelt is not only
proving himself a man who does what
he thinks is right, but statesman as
well, with broad and comprehensive
ideas, who is fertile in resources, and
who is fortifying himself with strong
men and new powers secured by new
legislative enactments, to make the
greatest fight for the people made
since the civil war, when slavery
strove to destroy the government of
the people by the people We cannot
be too grateful that we have a man
of such ability, such fertile resources
such energy, such patriotism, and
such devotion to the rights of the
people, in such a crisis. God bless
Theodore Roosevelt.
