Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
WHEELING, w. Va. November 1.-Sena-
tor Scott has offered to contribute $500 for
good hustling at the polls by republican
district committeeman in West Virginia.
He will divide it among the ten men whose
precincts show the largest percentage OF
the total vote cast and intends that the
winners shall use the money to attend the
Inauguration ceremonies at Washington
next March in the event of Roosevelt's
success. He hopes to stir up a rivalry that
will be profitable for the workers and the
republican ticket. Since they heard Of the
offer the democrats seek to discredit 1t as
a reward and are inclined to cast reflections
on the senator's motives. -.~-,
To show his active interest in the West
Virginia contest, and possibly to show he
is not a victim of overconfidence in the ma
jority claims he has made In common with
other leaders, Senator Scott started this
week to stump the state and will keep 1t
up until election day. His private secre-
tary, John l.. Steele has had separate
room at the state headquarters in ParkerS-
burg ever since headquarters opened and
has been constantly on duty. The senator
Is being twitted considerably over the adj
vice he gave republicans in a speech at
Charleston last spring. On that occasion
he said: Boys, walk UP to the ballot box
and vote the ticket straight with one hand
if you have to hold your nose, with the
other"
SCOTS personal interest is in the Iegisla-
ture, which furnishes ground for battle sec
ond in spirit only to the governorship, both
of these contests overshadOwing national
politics. Democratic orators are urging
the people to vote for democratic legisla-
ture that will repeal the unpopular new
tax laws. They make the governorship
fight paramount, but tell the people. that
the governors hands will be tied without
legislature back.
of SCOTS confidence about Roosevelt car
rying the state, but he is somewhat wor-
ried over the legislature, which will hold
his chances for reelection in the balance.
He does not know how far the tax agita-
ton will go. The republican majority of
hOld-overs in the senate is too great. how
ever, for the democrats to overcome it. I'M
less revolution takes place, which is not
at all likely. The democrats may carry
the lower house, a bare possibility rather
than a probability,

Democratic Leader Disguised.

representative of the democratic ma
tional committee in Wheeling a few days
ago did not conceal his disgust at the lack
of mention for Davis at q big meeting he
attended, which was given over solely to
state issues, but he was partly comforted
when told that the taxation question came
home closer to the people and offered better
ammunition.
Nelson e. Whitaker formerly president
of the state senate and a large iron and
steel manufacturer was to have presided at
the Cornwell meeting in Wheeling tonight,
but later reconsidered his decision. An
thony Smith of Ritchie county. another
former president of the senate, has taken
the stump for Cornwell Both are among
the most prominent republicans in West
Virginia.
Summarized. 1t is Roosevelt certain and
Dawson doubtful to republican optics; to
democrats it is Cornweli certain and Parker
and Davis doubtful. To the man up a
tree there is nothing for the democrats to
base hope on except the governorship, and
Dawson may finally pull through.

Edwards in Line.

William Seymour Edwards, who finally
effaced himself from the race for Congress
in the third district against Representative
Gaines after threatening to run as an In
dependent republican candidate made a
speech in Charleston last night for the re-
publican ticket his first word for the cause
in this campaign He will speak In other
parts of the district. His return to the
ranks is most welcome and seems to insure
Gaines reelection without question Ed
wards wife is cousin to President
Roosevelt by marriage. and there Is specu-
lation as to whether the relationship wires
were touched ,,,
In n number of the counties the repub-
licans are working at cross purposes, oW-
ing to local complications, and the state
mana gers are making some headWay III
lining them UP, going so far as TO recos-
nize organizations other than the county
committees. but as auxiliaries. and not in
opposition to Tire regulars. Conditions are
complex in certain sections and the DaW-
son-Teter contest is responsible In ONO
county majority of the Old repupllcan
war horses, the fellows who used to DO
the hard political work and who were
mostly Teter followers, do not take kindly
to the leadership of Congressional Chair
man S. G. Smith, who is managing Dow
ener's campaign and Dawson.s campaign
in the northern panhandle counties.
In Wood county the Dawson men are
lukewarm over the legislative ticket In
other large republican counties 1t is claimed
that all the finances, speakers, etc, are
given I'D exclusively to Dawson, and candi-
dates for other offices and their friends
have begun a deep bass growl All are
united and cordial for the national ticket,
Just because II does not enter into DIS
cusson. Probably the democrats are not
pushing Parker and Davis because they do
not want to jeopardize their chances OF
getting support for their state ticket from

Prospectors Getting Ready for a
Campaigu,

A number of our local prospectors are
seriously thinking of taking to the hills
as soon as weather conditions will per-
NIT. Some are going in the vicinity OF
Tonopah and Goldfeld, while Others
will try prospecting around 'bome." In
view of the fact that radium, molly

valuable metals are in demand, a pros
pectiDg party should Include an assayer

Ruby Silver From The Sparks Mine.

Governor Sparks presented the Cham
Der Of Commerce with a beautiful piece
oil silver ore from the Reno Star mine at
Wedekind yesterday and the ore is now
on exhibition in one of the large show
cases at the Chamber.
The specimen shows large patches OF
ruby silver and is one of the prettiest
as we'll as one of the richest specimens
in the chamber.
Colonel Grandelmayer, who is al al
thority on minerals, says that the ore is
very rich and that he thinks it will run
into string silver. He said that it would
only take a small amount OF it to make
one immensely rich.
The ore was taken from the new dis.
covery of the mine and il it only holds
out will make Wedekind one Of the
richest camps in the state.-Reno Ga

Ancient, Reckless and independent Order
of Prevaricat0rs.

1t seems that wonders wilt never cease
in Battle Mountain for it is said that a
Prevaricator's Club is soon to be started
in town by several OF our business men
and we do know that some OF them have
received a license TO start such an order.
There Is soon to be a meeting held OF
those who are in possession OF the license
when an organization will be effected,
after which any person who cares to join
can do so at a nominal cost. After you
have joined you will be put to the test
by the breath tester to examine all pres
ent to see that they are in possession OF
the annual password, explanations and
signals, and to report to the most noble
promoter of twenty-seven karat false
hoods whether all are qualified to re-
main, and il the report is satisfactory,
the most noble prevaricator announces
that after the report Of the custodian OF
campaign lies for the last campaign and
the annual statements OF the division
bartender and the most noble beer yank-
or has been handed in and passed upon,
the next business that will come before
the division will be the nominations and
the election of most noble prevaricator
to serve during the year 1904. For this
exhalted position we understand there
will be a number ofapplicants and it will
prove to be a heated election.
"Under the rules of our ORDER" said
one OF the promoters OF the order, and
who is an aspirant for the Office of M. N.
p, "ten minutes will be given each as
pirant for the Office named in which to
address the meeting" We understand
that the time will be devoted to short
anecdotes, personal "reminiscences, etc,
and the brethren will be given ample
scope to enlarge upon any details which
the subject may suggest. They claim
that newspaper men are not eligible to
membership but nevertheless if we are
rejected from becoming a member. we
shall have the M. N. p, to report the
proceedings for us.
No doubt the division will grow in
membership very rapidly after it is once
started rs there are a great many eligible
to join who would make good members.

Time TO Clean Up.

As this is the time of year when peo-
pie are most subject to diseases of differ
ent kinds, and also when decayed vege-
table matter and waste material are
throwing off poisonous gases and dis
ease germs, it is necessary for the pub
lie welfare that such things should be
destroyed or carried to some place where
they will be harmless. This matter
should be attended to As soon as the
weather will permit.

Il had all the symptoms of bad

Dodd's Kidney Pills always cure

Progress In Buttermakinu.

In no other industry has there been
greater progress during the last few
years than in dairying, says M. Nor.
tensen. The methods employed by
buttermakers ten years ago will now
not be recognized by any up-to-date
buttermaker. The machinery is diff.
ferent. The buttermaker who at that
time was generally chosen from the
ordinary walks of life is now a man
who has attended school for perfect.
ing himself in his profession. Some
years ago one Of the leading questions
at the convention was, how to avoid
notifies. This is thing not frequent
ly spoken Of to-day. The buttermaker
as a rule now understands the me-
chanical part Of buttermaking to such
an extent that he knows how to pre-
vent notifies. The question Of most
importance now is how to make a
high and uniform grade Of butter pos.
sessing keeping qualities. We do not
aim to make the kind Of butter that
used to win sweepstakes few years
ago as that did not very often possess
keeping qualities. The butter now in
highest demands Is quite different
