After long difficulty the water

the result~that he has an invention
which is pronounced by all who
have seen it the only logical and
sure plug yet produced.
Mr.. WOOdard tried it in the

REITERATES EDITORIAL

Washington, Aug. 16.-Another
chapter and probably, the final
one, so far as the government is
concerned, was added yesterday
to the case growing out of the
refusal of the Postoffice depart
ment to name a Mississippi post
office after Governor Vardamen of
that State, by the PRONUNCIATION by
the Postmaster-Ge of a state
ment which gave without comment
a letter from Governor Vardamen
published in Charleston IS. G.
News-Courier. This letter, which
is accepted by the Postoffice de-
partment as confirming the au-
thenticity of Governor Varda-
men s editorial remarks about the
mother of President Roosevelt,
was given in newspaper publica-
ton as follows:
Anderson, Aug. S.-[Special. J.
Several days ago the editor of the
Anderson Daily Mail wrote to
Governor J. X. Vardamen, of Mis-
sissippi, and asked him about the
truth of the assertion made by
Postmaster-General Payne that

rected toward each other from
the top and bottom, the upper one
being on a swivel, and the lower
arranged with a nut, for tighten
ing: bolt passes through the
mandrels, on top of which is an
arrangement for attachment to
the tubing. The plug is thus low
cred to the desired depth and the
mandrels screwed together, ex-
panding the rubber in the casing.
1t can thus be made so tight the
only way it can possibly be got
fen out is by drilling. One feat
ure of this plug superior to all 9th
ers, is, every point Of the surface
strikes the casing. Contractors
who have passed through the pro-
fanity-producing experience OF
trying TO shut off a strong flow OF
water. only after great expense
and evaporation to be compelled
to abandon the hole, are ready to
petition Congress to pension Mr.

of a newspaper in Mississippi
some years ago, published an edi-
torial making a disrespectful al
lusion to Mrs. Roosevelt, the moth
er of the President.
The following letter has been
received in reply:

son. Miss, Aug. 10.-My Dear Sir
Your very kind favor of the 4th
inst. has been recorded. If [ had

you desire. | would take great
pleasure in sending it to you, but
the files of the old papers are a
hundred miles away. There was
nothing in that editorial offensive
to Mrs. Roosevelt or that reflected
upon her in the least. / simply

grounds, an explanation of Ted
dy's degeneracy and general cuss-
edness, without holding his ances-
tors responsible for it. | thought
I owed it to his ancestors. Really,
F should be ashamed to charge the
devil himself with the responsible
ity of the infamy of that distin-
guished accident. Sincerely and
cordially. j. K. VARDAMEN.

Members Of the convention at

attempt on the part of the nomi-
nee to dictate to the convention in
stead cf the offer of an opportun-
ity to rescind it's action in case his
views on the subject of coinage
were not satisfactory.
Mr.. James says it is ridiculous
to put Kentucky into a doubtful
column as some Republican news
papers have persisted in doing.
He regards it as surely and safely
Democratic, as certain to cast its

"Kentucky will give majority

said Representative Ollie James of
Kentucky in Washington, D. c.,
yesterday. Immediately after the
reception of the Parker telegram
at st. Louis last month Mr., James
in the course of speech at the
Planters hotel said the State
would give a majority of 100000
for Roosevelt and Fairbanks. He
alluded to this yesterday and the
incident is only cited as showing
the change of sentiment in the par
ty since there has been time to

refers to his alleged conduct with
divers lewd women unknown to
the defendant. :.
The answer goes at considerable
length into the history Of their
married life. The original bill
contains charges Of an equally
damaging character against her
self. 1t may be conceded that IL
either of these parties is half as
bad as charged, the other is
clearly entitled to a divorce. The
plaintiff is represented by Cald-
well & Watson. Mrs. Ihrig is rep
