Conference A FAILURE
Washington Meeting Leaves Fac

NO HOPE or A SETTLEMENT

He Declines.
he Declines

1t can he stated with absolute
certainty today that the conference
Of prominent West Virginia republic
cans held Tuesday in Washington,
was not attended by result in any
degree satisfactory TO those who had
hoped to bring about situation ia
this state which would solidify and
satisfy the contending factions repre-
scented at the meeting called by Sena-
tor Elkins. The situation in the state
has reached an acute stage, which
threatens a serious split in the party,
and it was the hope of reaching a
compromise which induced the leaders
to meet aud thoroughly discuss the
matter.
The disturbing question is to agree
upon an equitable adjustment Of the
tax reform problem, which has enter
cd into republican politics to such an
extent as to involve the coming guber-
material campaign, and threaten to
involve Senator Scott's seat in con-
gress. The failure of the conference
last night, and the anticipated failure
of the further conference to be held
tonight, will, it is believed, result in
leaving the whole question of noIni-
nations TO the state convention.
Whether special session OF the legis-
lature will be called in the meantime
to consider the tax question is a mat
ter to be determined in the future.
Senator Scott told his friends today
that be would not permit bis sena-
torial prospects to interfere with the
prospects of the contenning candidates
for the gubernatorial nomination. 1t
had been suggested that all the well
known republican candidates with
draw from the race for the governor
ship, and that Mr.. Caldwell, who has
been mentioned. as an asDirant for
Senator Scotts seat should give up bis
fight for that place and be given the
governorship. Senator Scott said he
would not permit the gubernatorial
aspirants to be sacrificed for him.
Another disturbing element has
been injected into the situation by
Congressman Dayton's attitude on the
tax question. He is empatically
opposed to reform as proposed by
the commission, and it is said that
the republican leaders are casting
about for candidate to oppose him
for the nomination this year
Mr.. John j Hetzel, of this city,
who attended the meeting in Washing
ton last night, is looked upon with
favor by those who antagonize Mr..
Dayton, and William p. Hubbard and
George c. Sturgis went so far as to at
tempt to secure Mr.. Hetzefs promise
to enter the race against Mr.. Dayton,
pledging Mr.. Hetzel the solid delega-
lions from Preston and Mononghalia
counties as nucleus in the contest.
Mr. Hetzel declined to entertain the
proposition, stating that he is a sup
porter of Mr.. Dayton, and would en-
tor no combination looking to the de
feat of the present congressman.
The recommendation of Mr.. VIM.
Porterfeld for postmaster at Charles
Town serves to agRravate the feeling
against Mr.. DAYTON, and his orpo-
nents seem determined to oomplicate
the situation in this district in any
manner which will embarrass or even
defeat him.

THE LITTLE TOTS.

1t is evident that our people thor
oughly appreciate home talent and
that means that any entertainment
gotten up amongst us is of high order,
therefore the appreciation. Everyone
knew the program given by the pri-
mary scholars Wednesday evening in
connection with the picture exhibit
would be worth listening to and so the
hall was filled to the doors.
Music was furnished for the songs
and marching by Miss Herbert. Be
tween numbers the Misses Nellie Beard
and Ethel Ballentine rendered selec-
tions.
The first number was the clapping
game by dozen girls and boys. This
was watched with interest as the per-
feet time which the little hands kept up
was indeed fine.
"My Two Brothers. was bright lit
tie recitation given by Rex Holden.
A class of girls then came mincing
in and sang of the antics and maneu.
vers of "Jacky Frost"
This was followed by drill with the
dumb bells by boys. Drills, when well
executed, are features which certainly
add much to program and we don't
believe our school children can be beat
en- anywhere for the good time and
step they keep and the correct hand.
ling of the articles in any drill.
The song 1.-TWO Little Blue Shoes
sang by Goldie Beatty was as sweet as
possible and reflected credit on the lit
tie singer.
playing Bo-PeeB with Star" was
pleasing recitation by Ina IlOicOmb.
When the noise began in the next
number one knew it was boys and that
they were playing RAILROAD Train -
This was Il song and initiated the cars
to a nicely.
The feature of the evening was the
"Mother Goose Medley" which we must
not take space to describe but suffice it
to say that the loud applause showed
it was eXcellently performed and well
enjoyed.
a dialogue between Lula Ludington
and Myron Sexton entitled "The Doc
tor" was very good.
"Children's Hour" was nicely sung
by class of girls.
Quite a hit was "A Little Boys
Speech" by Ralph Strevel.
Several boys then sang the song of
"The Blacksmith" 1t is rather unusual
for so many boys to sing in such good
accord.
49, hen Teddy Went to the Woods"
by Russell Nichols was lively recita-
ton recited with vigor.
"The Basket Drill" by six little girls
dressed each in a rainbow color was
very pretty and nicely performed.
The last number was recitation by
Olin Beavis describing the "Joys of
Thanksgiving" very appropriately.
Everybody heartily enjoyed the ev-
ening's pleasure and thank the teach
ers for all the trouble and pains they
were at to prepare such a treat and all
the little ones for doing so nicely in
rendering it.

HOW TO MAKE TEA.
Concise Rules for Its Preparat'on
Given by an Expert.

Tea, when properly prepared Tor
use, is an infusion, not decoction.
The proper way TO infuse' tea-or TO
brew" it, as 1t is sometimes styled
is to follow the four following concise
rules prepared by an expert president
of the National Tea association OF the
United States:
/. Let the water be fresh from the
faucet.
2. Let the water boil furiously hVe
minutes before using.
8 Let the water remain on the
leaves not less than seven nor more
than 10 minutes, and then be poured
off into another heated vessel.
4. Use one full teaspoon OF tea lot
every cup of water; or, If the result
ing drink is too strong, reduce the
quantity.
Those rules are easy to remember
and equally easy to follow. If every
housekeeper will observe them there
will soon be a noticeably increased
demand for the daintiest, purest ana
cheapest beverage in the world.
After proper infusion the tea ought
n be drunk and not allowed TO stew
or simmer in the teapot, use no
cream.

TO go down into their pockets FOR the
price. -,
The last census reported consid~
cradle falling off in the production
of turkeys throughout the country
with the greatest shrinkage In the
i, New England states. and that faiiihs
off has been going on for some years
The reasons are TO be found IN the
decrease In the size of farms, which
restricts the range of the birds ana
makes It more and more difficult 10
raise them; and In the ravages OF dis
ease upon the flocks, the diseases be-
ing partially due, no doubt, 10 the
lowering of the vitality OF the STOCK
through inbreeding. and partially 10
the fact that the farmers had sold on
the oldest and most mature birds each
Thanksgiving time, leaving the later
Matched and less vigorous piros ior
breeding stock. Such a course con-
tinued through many generations,
would sap the vitality and vigor OF
the strongest and most vigorous OF
breeding stock; making 1t especially
susceptible to infectious diseases.
We made a visit to Prudence island
in Narragansett bay, Rhode Island
last June. on purpose to get some
light upon the turkey situation. Ten
years ago Prudence island was IA
nous for It's fine turkeys, and large
numbers were raised there every year.
one farmer with whom We talked
formerly raised four or five hundred
turkeys each year and now does not
raise one; he is giving his attention
to eggs and dressed poultry for the
Providence market. Another farmer
had one pair of old turkeys on his
farm. but had not succeeded In rails
ing any young this year; he. too, is
going TO give them up.
While this unfortunate state oil
things is not universal throughout
New England, there Is very marked
decrease in turkey growing here, and
with a short crop in many parts OF
the west, turkeys are bound TO be
high in price this year.
