WAYNE COUNTY has been the
scene of the sharpest local political
conflict carried on within the bord.
ers of the entire State for the past
thirty years. For over twenty five
years of that time she was ever con-
fidently relied upon to furnish a
majority for the Democratic party
sufficient TO secure to the party the
election of State Senator's, Circuit
Judges and Congressman in the old
district to which she formerly be
longed. Now, however, 1t is APP
parent that to that party the county
has become extremely critical fight
ing ground, and with Republican
candidate on the State ticket, Hon.
James a. Hughes for Congress, and
strong local ticket, such as the
good sense of the Republicans is
sure TO dictate, there is at last a
prospective victory approaching.

The Republican party has made
the State of West Virginia. 1t has
developed It's resources; it as pour
ed vast sums of money into the cot.
fers of the State Treasury by reason
of the thousands of industries that
have sprung up in the past decade;
1t has peopled its hills and valleys
with thrifty and industrious popu-

all brought about by the new life

Sir Marcus Samuel, Jewish, ex-Lord
Mayor of London, has just received
through the Japanese minister, Viscount
Hayashi, the order of the Knight Com
membership Of the Rising Sun, conferred
upon him by the MikadO. For
twenty-five years the firm of which
Sir Marcus Samuel is the head had
been intimately associated with Japan
and has had close relations with the Jap
anese government The firm issued the
first Japanese gold loan in Europe, and
later with the consent of the government
issued the municipal loans for the Yoko-
hama water works and the Osaka harbOr
works.
Six Russian Jewish lawyers have been
raised to the degree Of ''Prisazni Pow
ereni,' or government attorneys. This
is the first time within the past fifteen
this way Though this distinction is
given entirely on merit, yet when a jew

special permission from the minister of
Justice has to be obtained. TO the great
surprise Of everybody the minister's per-
mission was not withheld on this Occa-

Max Darewski, the musical prodigy,
an account Of whom was given in the

guished himself by carrying off the Lon

harmony. Max is only eight years old,
and of the forty competitors for the
medal the one nearest in age to him was
twenty-five. The youngster Darewski, it
will be remembered, composed a waltz
which under his conductorship was
played with success by Mr.. Dan God
frey s band at Bournemouth.
Three hundred and forty public
school teachers Of Hungary, half of
whom are Jews, were happily surprised
to find that their annual pension was in

from the income of the 100000 Kronen
which Ritter Ignatz Wechselmann. who
died in Budapest February II, 1903, left
to be distributed among those school
teachers who took no part either in anti
Semitic or socialistic affairs Ritter
Wechselmann also left ], 100000 Kronen
to erect a home and school for blind
children in two sections, one section for
Jewish and the second for non-Jewish

Cincinnati, Nov. 8.-Miss Alma
Steingeweg, the telephone operator
and choir singer who was mistreated
and brutally murdered on a street
corner on her way home last Wednes-
day night, refused the company Of
her sweetheart, saying that she was
tired and would go home alone. Jo-
seph Renner, young business man,
called her up by telephone two hours
before she started home, and offered
to be her escort, as usual He is
heartbroken now, because their strolls
in Lovers Lane" was postponed
and the girl thereby came to her
death.
Renner called at police haedquar-
tiers today, hoping by this information
to throw some light on the mystery,
but the detectives are as much in the
dark as ever.
That the degenerate who murdered
MISS Steingeweg also killed Miss
Mary Mcdonald and Miss Lulu Miul-
Ter recently at almost the same spot,
is certain.

burdens to none, aud that equality Of
right without the inequality of bur
den may prevail. But, believing
that these objects may be attained i'll
the fullest and tairest sense under the
present constitution we approve the
enactment Of a law providing for a
call for a convention to frame new
constitution for the state, 10 the end
that the people thereof may vote upon
