Paul Kruger, the great Boer, is
slowly dying, an exile in France.
OF the 54S persons committed to
the Virginia pepitentiary during
1908, 243 of the number were under
21 years of age.
1t is said that the State of Virginia
expends each year the sum of 5000,

Is 50 scattered as to be of little pur-
pose.

Here comes the Urbanna Sentinel
complaining that the County Of Mid

criminal expenses last year. whereas
Essex county spent but $222 in the

Wheat at $1.10 a bushel was higher
than it has been since the collapse of
the Letter corner in May, 1898. The
highest price in 1908 was SO cents;
in 1902, 95 cents; in 1901, 79i cents;
in 1900, S73cents; in 1899, 79i cents,
and in 1898, $1.S5. 1t is also gen.

well as in the United States. The
war is not the only "bull" point.
Good milling wheat is said to be
scarce and the consumptive demand
is pressing. For two years the quail

been inferior. Corn also is some
what high, but speculation has much
to do with the present rapid move

U. s. Supreme Court VS.. Negroes

The Supreme court of the United
States handed down an opinion in
the case of Jackson Giles VS.. the
Board of registration of Montgomery
county, Alabama, dismissing the case
for want of jurisdiction, no Federal
question being involved. The case
involved the suffrage clause of the
new constitution of Alabama.
This provision was attacked on q
discrimination against the colored
race, Of which Giles is a memb Der.
The effect of the decision is against
Giles. and will have its bearing on
all the other Southern cases arising
from restricted suffrage.

WISCONSIN, suRPRlsEs-

Milwaukee, Nov. 9.-Tke result of the election in Wisconsin shows that Roosevelt ran ahead of every ticket and carried the state by a plurality estimated at between sixty and sev- enty thousand, and that Governor La Toilette has been reelected by a pIu- rality of about 5OO0O, and that the con gressional condition remains unchang- ed from two years ago.
 One surprise in the election was the big increase in the vote of the social democratic party. Four years go that party boiled 4,45S votes in Milwaukee county; two years ago To- TO4,- and in this election 1S.12O. The social demo crats elected four assemblymen and one senator to the legislature.
 Perhaps, greatest surprise of the election, was the narrow margin on which Congressman Joseph W. Bah cock pulled through. His plurality of 5000 two years ago was cut to about 300 this year.

A MEAN ADVANTAGE
A Candidates Violation Of an Agree.
 ment With His Opponent.

Professor w. H. Lee, late republican candidate for county school superin- tendent, yesterday took his opponent, Superintendent A II. Fulton, to task for his nefarious methods of campaign ing. These gentlemen had hitherto been the warmest of friends. Nor did their friendship cease when they found themselves arrayed against each oth- CT after the holding of the republican county convention.
 But" said Professor Lee, q did not want the nomination. Having. howev- CT, accepted it after it had been forced upon me, l called on Professor Fulton to inquire how he was going to con- duct his campaign. l told him we should take no advantage over each other in view of our long, friendship which I hoped would not be ruptured by the strain of a political canvass. The professor agreed with me that we should be fair to each other; we should not try to influence the voters by inn proper methods. We should go before the people on our merits as educators and then leave the matter wholly 10 them. I thought Professor Fulton meant what he said and I followed closely the terms of our compact.
 II was pained q day or two before the election to learn that Professor Fulton was taking an unfair advaa- tage of me. He was resorting to methods which in the nature Of things 1t was impossible for me to adopt and l have no doubt that thereby he con- tributedz greatly to his victory at the polls. Professor Fulton began taking his baby around on the streets in a iit- tie pushcart, exhibiting the infant for the purpose of gaining the sympathy of the voters. There was, it is true nothing immoral in that act in itself but it was highly immoral iu view of our agreement. He very we'll knew that could not put myself before the people in the same way and appeal to them for their sutrages. i have no baby carriage and no baby Of such ten der years that it would incite sympa- thy.

A SIGNIFICANT ADDRESS
LansdOwne's Plea Amounts Almost to
 Demand for Intervention.

London, Nov. 9.-Lord Lansdowne. in the absence of Premier Balfour, at the historic lord mayors banquet. held tonight. made a strong plea for peace and aE5itnation on behalf of the Brit
 ish government Lord Lansdowne pointed out to a large and sympathetic audience that arbitration was the only way in which the North sea dispute with Russia could have been equita.oly settled, and almost in the same breath drew a vivid picture of the horrors of the struggle now proceeding in the far east. Between the lines of the foreign ministers address was an urgent plea, amounting almost to a demand, that the Russo Japanese war might be settled by arbitration. It was a carefully pre- pared statement, made before what is considered the most representative gathering of the leading men of Great Britain. AS such, it was generally in terpreted as a bolder bid for iuterven- ton than has yet emanated from any neutral power. Amerhca was large in this speech, for which Great Britain has been waiting for many days.
 The foreign minister prefaced his re-
 marks by saying: That great states
 nan, John Hay, recently remarked that war was the most futile and fallacfous of human fOllies." Then came an impassioned review of the North Sea affair. Although Lord Lansdowne was unable to announce the signing of the con vention, he emphatically confirmed the statements made in these dispatches, namely, that Great Britain had found mo difficulty in arriving at a solution in principle of the dispute" and only supplemented what is already known by the statement that Russia has guar anteed the punishment of any other officers in addition to those already de- taiehed from the squadron, who might be proved to have been implicated By most of his hearers, who tonight
 had their first opportunity of hearing the foreign office views, and who hith-
 erto, had based their ideas on MT Bal four's much criticised Southampton speech, in the newspapers, Lord Lans-

downe's utterances were regarded as almost a plea for Russia.
 A dead silence greeted him as, after pointing out that the two governments in good faith believed in the contradic- tory statements of fact, he asked: Could we have done better than get full apology and compensation and leave the question of facts to an in ternationa1 tribunal with a guarantee of the punishment of any who may be found guilty"
 Lord LansdOwne, in connection with the question of contraband, seriously reminded the audience that Great Britain, as the greatest naval power, might, some day, be the greatest suf- ferer by a restriction of beIligerent rights on the high seas.

 This stream affords access to the in terior of Colombia, and its closing be- fore by President Castro almost in- volved Venezuela and Colombia in war. The last action is taken to mean that the good understanding which was reached between Castro and Marroquin nearly a year ago has not been pre- served under the accession to the pres tderJ1y of Colombia of General Reyes. and friction between the two countries is expected to develop.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies and by constantly failing to cure with To- cal treatment, pronounced it incurable Science has proven catarrh to be a con- constitutional treatment. Halls CataIrh Cure, manufactured by F. J Cheney & O., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constftu- tional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful.

FIVE PERSONS INJURED.
Electric Car Struck Abutnent oi
 Bridge in Boston.

Boston. Nov. 3.-Five persons were hurt in an electric car accident on the Broadway extension bridge in this city today. The wounds were confined mainly to cuts and bruises, the motor man and conductor suffering most se- verely. The accident was a peculiar one, due, it is said, to the sudden set ting of one end of the draw of the big bridge, which caused the car to strike the abutment. The glass in the car was shattered and it's forward end was considerably damaged.
 Thomas Holleran, the motorman, had his face badly lacerated, and the con- ductor, Edward Kerwin, also receiv- ed a wound in the face There was a narrow escape from a rear end cOlli- sion, car following the one wreck ed being stopped within a few inches of the one which had been suddenly brought to a standstill. Two women in the car swooned.
 The draw on which the accident oc- cured is 50 feet above the water and there was considerable excitement among the passengers.
