Now some republican papers are
worried because the articles published
by others may be used as campaign
documents by the opposition. If the
publication of facts makes good mater
ial for the opposition will not the facts
themselves prove a greater obstacles
to success? The majority OF republic
can papers believe in clean politics
and good government and lend their
support to this end. They also be-
sleve, as Roosevelt, that If corruption
exists, their own party should weed
tt out, and this the better element of
the republican party and the press
which represents it is trying to do.
Let the good work go0n!

The biennial election law seems to
have about this effect. 1t offers a
long period of political rest in which
the factions of the republican party
are amusing themselves by scrapplng
with each other and tantalizing the
opposition with hopes of victory. All
offices being filled in the next cam.
paign, 1t will present a fine oppor-
tunity for them to get together
again.

MAssISerox, w. Va, Jan To-
1t will be two weeks tonight since
aged Robert p Floyd and his wife
we're murdered in their home two
miles from this city by an explosion
of nitro glycerine, and 80 far as can
be learned the identity of the muir
derers is as far from being establish
ed as 1t was the next morning after
the crime. But there are some thee
ries that bear the earmarks of cor
rectness The following is said by
some who have given the case much
thought to be the best one that has
yet been put forth: 1T is said to be
q fact that Robert p Floyd knew
who assasslnated John Cartwright,
by shooting him from ambush. over
decade ago.
1t is further reported that Mr..
Floyd had remarked about month
before his death, that he felt it hie
duty to the people Of the communi-
ty to tell all that ne knew abont the
Cartwright killing. 1t is reported
that he said in conversation with
some one who cannot now be found I:
II am getting old and cannot live
long, and what know about the
death of John Cartwright would land
his assassin behind the bars. l
have been thinking over it Of late
and II l thought could get protec-
tion l would make plain statement
of the case to the authorities. When
/ come to die l expect will tell it
ALL
1t is reported that Mr.. Floyd
made some such remarks as these.
In case this is true it would not be
SO hard to believe that the man who
shot John Cartwright IN cold blood
would blow up Bob Floyd when he
suspected that Floyd knew some
thing that would oriug him to trial.
That the work was done by persons
" no wished only to rob the home OF
the aged couple is not believed by
any one here or in the country dis
tricts. No one could have had the
heart to kill two old people for the
sake of securing what little money
might be near them. 1t was deep
er laid plot than that. There are
other theories similar to this one
concerning other killings which it is
said Mr.. Floyd had some knowledge
of but they are only limited at.
Whe her the county authorities
have any detectives working on the
case is not known to the public.
What il being done il not known.

WABASH WON RACE
Chas. Morris Beat the B. & o.
Agent Across Continent

Bought Farm Which was key to the
: Situation For Buckhannon 4 North
ern X. R.-R0de 40 Miles on Horse.
back in Dakota Blizzard-B. &. y. R.
r. Agent NOT Heard From.
1t was noted In this paper last week
that the agents of the Wabash and
B. & o. railroads had started on a
race across the continent 10 the face
OF western blizzard, each one anx-
ious to get possession of an import
ant farm on the line of the Buckhan-
non & Northern road. The Wabash
man was successful, as will be learned
from the following account CT the
race taken from the Fairmont Times:
Charles Morris, one OF the Wabash
Railroads right OF way men, returned
last night from race across the
United States. The Wasbash and the
Baltimore and Ohio railroads we're
after a piece Of land which lies on the
Buckhannon and Northeran line, and
they considered that thay bad to have
1t. 1t was the key to situation and
the road securing 1t would have an al
most s.killing" advantage over its
competitor.
The owner of this farm lived in Da-
kota about forty miles from the city
of Deadwood. Right OF way agents
for both roads reached the community
where the farm lay on January a..
They discovered about the same time
that the owner Of the land was going
to be hard to see, and they reported as
much to their respective companies.
1t was Immediately found that the
farm was the one thing needful to the
road which wanted to get through
that part Of the country, and both
companies decided to have it, and
their agents were started without
any delay to Dakota.
Mr.. Morris left here Sunday, Janu-
airy 4th with deeds in blank and the
cash to pay for the property in case he
should be successful in landing 1t.
The Baltimore and Ohio man left the
same day and went by way of Chicago,
Mr.. q. e. Conway, who has charge of
the right of way getting in this State
for the Wabash, arranged by telegraph
for team to be ready at Deadwood
and convey Mr.. Morris to the farm
er's home without delay.
No time was lost Morris was
lucky in making connections and
reached Deadwood in due time A
terrible blizzard was raging, but that
did not stop him. His horse was at
the depot according to program and he
started at once on the forty mile ride.
10 the meantime the B. & 0. man
waited in Deadwood for the weather
to warm up it is thought. Mr.. Nor
rs reached the farmers house in six
hours after leaving Deadwood, and In
another hour had the land bought and
had the deeds signed, and had paid for
il
The farmer was greatly surprised
that any one should take such a sud-
den desire to buy his farm, but he was
none the less anxious to sell. Wheth-
or the B. s. O. man has reached the
seat Of war yet is not known here.

JUMPED FOR LIFE.
Frank Canoes House Burned
to the Ground.

Armory on Fire-Small Blaze at Mr..
Jacobs House Unexpected Strong
Gas Pressure Coming on in the Night
the Cause Mere Care should be
Taken.
Almost a fire every night has been
the record here fora week past, caused
by unexpected gas pressure after the
valves had been turned wide open to
keep fom freezing on account OF the
scacity OF the fuel.
Saturday night the home OF Frank
Canoe out the Beverly Pike, near Mr..
0. II. Dille's was consumed by fire.
Mr.. Canoe his wife and child barely
made their escape with little Of the
household property, and a very few
clothes.
The fire occurred between one and
two O'Clock in the morning. 1t caught
from high gas pressure in the Kitten
en- range, coming on after the family
had retired. Mr.. Canoe succeeded in
getting his wife and child down stairs
and out of the house, and then went
back up for some clothes The flames
spread so rapidly that he was cnt of
from retreat down the stairway, and
had to jump from second story WIN
dow to save his life. The parlor fur
niture and carpet, and very few
clothes, were all that was saved. Mr..
and Mrs. Canoe found shelter at the
home Of Mr.. Harris near by.
The loss on property including
household goods was between $1,000
and $500. There was $3.50 Insurance
on the house. 1t was placed by Mr..
Anderson In the German Alliance Co.
Of New York.
A fire in the new armory at the
University Saturday night while the
dance WAS in progress created little
panic 1t was soon extinguished and
no serious damage done. The new
hose had just been attached the day
before. or there might have been seri-
Gus results from the fire.
A small blaze at the home OF Mr..
and Mrs. Jacobs on Foundry street
created considerable alarm for few
minutes, but was gotten under con-
troll, without turning In an alarm,

ported to have been on fire few days
ago, ana it was discovered by the jani-
tor just In time to prevent serious
conflagration. The University build
ings are now we'll equipped for fight
ing fire by hose attached In various
parts Of the buildings
Practically all the numerous fires VI
The past week have been due to un-
expected gas pressure. The gas is so
very Weak at times, that the valves
are turned on full, and then after the
factories are closed down and many
fires turned of for the night, those
left burning get beyond control.
Housekeepers should be very careful.
and it is better to suffer slightly from
cold, by turning the gas of entirely at
night, than to be burned out in such
weather as the present.
