SOME NOTABLE OBSERVANCES OF
THE EVENT.
Farewell Address Read in United
States Senate - Chicago School
Children Celebrate the Day.

Washington, Feb. 23.-Washington's
birthday was generally observed in this
city Monday. The farewell address of
the first president was read in the SEN
ate, the federal and municipal offices
were closed and only few of the bust
ness houses were open. There were sew
eral patriotic celebrations by the asso-
citation of oldest inhabitants, the Sons
of the Revolution and other organiza-
tons. Historic Alexandria, six miles
south of here on the Virginia side Of the
Potomac river, where George Washing
ton was a familiar figure during most of
his career, celebrated the day with an
elaborate military and civic parade.
President and Mrs, Roosevelt celebrat-
ed Washington's birthday by planting
each a tree in the white house grounds.
The trees are fern leaf beeches. They
were removed from Garfield park, it be-
ing necessary either to transplant or
20 destroy them on account of eXcaVa-
tons in the park incident to the con
struction of the railroad terminal sta
ton. The trees were planted in the area
within the semi-circular driveway lead
ing from Executive avenue to the east
terrace of the white house, one on each
side of the main walk. In a big earthen
pot the President, Mrs. Roosevelt and
the children also planted seeds of the

demonstration.
Baltimore, Feb. 23.-Though it was
Washingtons birthday and legal hol-
iday the dynamiting or pulling dowr
of dangerous walls still left standing
in the burned district was continued
Monday. Here and there in the ruins

by the flames the American flag was
seen floating in honor of the day. The
bank holiday proclaimed by Gov, War

Peter Lowery, an eX-member Of the state
legislature and one of the most promi-

Monday morning by Frank Van Camp,

Van Camp to the door and an exchange
of angry words was followed by a re-
volver shot. The pupils ran TO the door
to find Lowery on the ground mOrtally
wounded and Van Camp standing over
him with smoking weapon in his hand
Van Camp walked to Sistersville and
gave himself up to the authorities. He
claims to have acted in sef-dcfense
He says Lowery reached for his hip
pocket, and he thought he intended TO
shoot him. There has been bad blood
between the two for several years, grow
ing out of political differences and il
was generally understood that both men
were always armed in anticipation of
trouble. Van Camps pupils are charged
with aggravating the feeling between the
two by carrying tales Lowory was
county superintendent Of schools eight
years ago, and the trouble ending in the
tragedy dates back to that time.

There seems to be an inclina-
ton among the citizens of Jules
bury 10 place but one ticket in
domination for the municipal
election which occurs April 5th.
We would sanction such a policy
provided good men are nominated;
men who are in favor of conduct
n@ the affairs of the town upon a
business basis, and who will fav-
or all kinds of public improve
ment. The nominees should also
be pledged to push to a speedy
settlement the suit now pending
against the Petersen Canal and
Reservoir company. If such men
are placed in nomination there
will probably be no opposition to
their election. However, We do
not believe that the people will
submit without struggle to the
election of any chronic "knock-
ers, and the ticket we have heard
suggested frequently during the
last few days contains some of
this kind of material.

the building of new court house
