1t was finally decided that Mr.. Wat

the future; and that later. when the
returns are in, the officers of the ma
tional committee should give out
resume of what has been accomplished
in this campaign and proposed planj
for carrying on the work of organi

it was shown that the entire national
ampaign-counting all expenditures
by the committee and by Individuals
had cost less than $4,000.
Today we met early at Mr.. Palliser's

Are things to go on as they have

the people intended to accomplish by
their votes? Will the United States
government continue to pay $4,000 a
year rent for a postal car that can be
built for less than that amount of
money. Is it the desire of the people
that the postoffice department shall
continue to pay much higher tariffs
for carrying the mails than the ex-
press companies are charged for the
same service? Are such things as that
what you intended to accomplish by
your votes?

& Vt A Medical Examination Indicates shot
 at Close Range.
 CHARLOTTESVILLE Va, Oct. 26.- Dr. Venable at the McCue trial here testified that the wound on the back of Mrs. AcCue's head might have been made by contact with the bathtub but the one on the ear he thought to have been made with some blunt instru- ment. The gunshot wound in the breast was an inch long and badly powder marked, indicating very close range It was of such a character that death would be practically instan- taneous. The wad from the shell had lodged against the spinal column. He gave it as his opinion that the wound could not have been inflicted with Mrs. McCue in the position in which she was found and said he did not believe she could have stepped into the tub after having been shot, as he did not think more than a half dozen heart beats followed after the shot entered the breast, s4 iss. On the day following the shooting he discovered finger marks on Mrs Me Cues throat, made, in his opinion, by a left hand; also broken finger nail on one hand. The defendant did not touch the dead body of his wife to the knowledge of the witness

POSTMASTER VAN corr DEAD

Suddenly Stricken at Ills Sons Home

 NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-Po Postmaster Van Cott died suddenly yesterday at the home of his son, Richard Van Cott, here. Mir. Van Cott's death followed his sudden seizure in his office in the postoffice, when he was stricken down while sitting at his desk.
 The cause of death was heart failure, brought on by the nervous strain un- der which MT. Van Cott had been since his son Richard was accused of coloniz- ing voters and since his administration of the postoffice has been under inyesti- gation by the federal authorities at Washington.
 MT. Van Cott appeared much better after reaching his sons house, but an attack of heart failure occurred, and MT. Van Colt died very suddenly.

STANDARD OIL DENIES.
Great Corporation Repudfates Any
 Political Combinations.

Political Combinations.
 NEW YORK, Oct 26.-S. 0. Dodd, counsel for the Standard Oil company, has authorized1 the following state ment:
 SsIn view of the many false and mis- leading statements from various sources, the directors of the Standard Oil company deem it advisable to state to the company's shareholders and the public that neither now nor at any time has the Standard Oil company or any of it's constituent companies been interested in any business not directly related with and necessary to the pc troleum trade
 "It' would be almost impossible to designate in this denial the different classes of business with which ire sponsible parties have coupled the Standard Oil company name, but it may not be amiss to specify copper, steel banks, railroads and gas (other than natural gas) as being most promi- nently mentioned. With none of these affairs has the Standard Oil company been at any time connected
 Neither is it true that the Standard Oil company, MT. John D. Rockefeller or any officer of the Standard Oil com pany has taken part in securing the nomination of any of the candidates for office, as is so positively stated Furthermore, it is entirely untrue that there is any Standard Oil party" banded together for speculation in stocks as is so commonly charged. The name of Standard Oil company is ire quently used by designing persons in the manipulation of the stock markets, but its use is unwarranted
 'sThe, Standard Oil company departs from its usual custom in making this denial for the reason that the state ments being made at this time by news papers, magazines and sensational pulp lie speakers appear to be unusually mendacious and may to great extent mislead the public.''

 ST. LOUIS, Oct. 26.-Propelled part of the way by it's own power and the remainder of the distance by the wind, which was blowing ten miles an hour, the Arrow, owned and perfected by Thomas S. Baldwin of San Francisco, in charge of A. Roy Knabenshue of Toledo, made an unanuounced flight of ten miles from the worlds fair grounds over St. Louis and across the Mississip- pi river to Cahol1ia, III.
 High in air the motor broke, but Knabenshue managed to maneuver the flying machine into the wind, and he was enabled to steer the Arrow in a course that varied several points either way from the trend of the wind and to land at point of his own selecting.
