Democratic nominee for the vice.

many of the citizens of Elkins as could

those who sat behind the Senator on
the stage were Blame and Davis Ell
kins. sons of Senator Elkins. The
meeting here was the elimination OF a
day of campaigning on a special train.
The train reached Elkins at one
o'clock.
The appeal of Mr.. Davis to his

masterpiece of the campaign. He
reviewed the development of this sec
ton of the country in connection
with which he frequently mentioned

certain is that the girl was murdered.
The pool of blood found on the rail-
way track disDroves the theory OF ac-
cident, as in such a case the body
would be thrown off the track.
The only thing yet discovered in
the nature of a clew is the story told
by Frank Limle, the conductor on
whose car Miss Steinigeweg rode on
her way home Wednesday night. The
girl has been in the habit of going
home on that car and Eimle knew her
by sight. He says that on Monday
night, a short, stout man, stranger,
boarded the car with Miss Steinigeweg
and sat facing her. He alighted when
she did, with other passengers. The
conductor wondered why the man
took the car for such a short distance
Tuesday night the man did the same.
Then also other passengers got off
with Miss Steinigeweg, but on We'd
nesday night the man alighted alone
with the girl. The conductor infers
that this man committed the murder
Jacob Kollmer, a saloon-keeper says
that a stranger, dusty and nervous,
entered his place a few squares from
the scene of the murder Wednesday
night and asked the nearest place to
board a freight train.

AFRAID OF BUCK BUFFALO.
Mr.. Henry Eel Gets Novel Scare
That Brings Il Crowd.

Four big policemen, big crowd
and a badly scared sport by the name
of Henry BELL stood on lGxcnange
street yesterday in gesticulatory
bunch
The crowd from the circus and the
crowd that had come in the rain to
see the circus combined with the po-
licemdn and the crowd that had come
because it was curious, almost blocked
the street for space of some min
UteS.
Mr. Bell had, it seems. run for po-
liceman and the sight of the police
man had brought the crowd. In the
first instance, as Mr.. Bell explained
he had run from Buck Buffalo to The
police.
Mr. Bell was very magnanimous
however, mo, Sirs." said he 81
want nothing done at all to Mr. Buff
falo. He drew a knife on me, and
when Il man gets out his knife | go
to the police. | am not going to swear
out warrant. 1t is all over" said
Mr. Bell, with a gesture that spoke of
the dismissal of a painful subject
But the beauty of the thing lay in
the personality of the man against
whom the charge was brought Buck
Buffalo, US | have said before, is a man
Of peace who avoids strife, whose
business it is to keep out of trouble.
Mr.. Buffalo is a man with kindly in
stincts and a distinct courtesy who
does The world 10 harm. He is like
a warm colored flower growing in the
sun.
Cut a man? Draw Il knife? The
suggestion is shocking.

BLOW IN THE FACE
Deputy SIaps War Min
lister, Then Back Steps
With vigor.
lRu the Associated Press.l

Paris. Nov. 4.-Todays sitting of
the Chamber of Deputies was one of
the stormiest and most heated in re-
cent years, the excitement eliminating
when Gabriel Syveton, a prominent
Nationalist deputy stepped up to
General Andre, the Minister of War
and slapped his face.
After accomplishing this feat Syve-
ton retreated rapidly to the upper
most row of seats, taking refuge be-
hind members of the opposition. A
tremendous tumult ensued, deputies
of all parties crowding upon the floor
of the house where a free fight was
soon in progress. Speaker Brisson
left the chair, thus suspending the
sitting. Eventually order was re-
stored and, the sitting being resumed
Syveton's temporary exclusion was
voted. The offender, however, re-
fused to quit his seat, and it became
necessary again to suspend the sitting
while he was removed by a military
guard.
1t is probable that this misconduct,
which occurred just before the final
division, materially contributed to
strengthen the position of the cabinet
which at one time seemed very crltl-
cal, for after securing majority of
only two on d preliminary question
the government finally carried vote
of confidence by overwhelming ma
jority. At midnight the officials of
the Chamber of Deputies, assembled
in Speaker BrisSon's private cabinet
were discussing the course of action
to be taken against Deputy Syveton.
Deputies who witnessed the assault
upon the Minister of War say that
General Andre was wholly taken by
surprise and was struck with such vio-
lence that he would have fallen had
not Premier Combes stepped forward
and supported him. General Andres
face was much swollen and was cut
by a ring worn by Syveton. Speaker
Brisson notified the judicial authori-
ties that an assault had been COM
mitted within the precincts of the
chamber.
General Andre whose reply was
continual interrupted by the noise of
the opposition and ministerial cheers
said Waldeck Rousseau, when he APP
pointed him Minister of War four
years ago confided to him the exist
ence of an underground movement,
which had for it's purpose the setting
of the army into civil power. When
he set to work to combat the influence
of political agitation he met with great
resistance, and it was impossible to OBJ
tain information from official source,
news of acts openly hostile to the re-
public only reaching him through in
direct channels. A spirit of intoler-
ance prevailed in the army and dur
ing manoeuvers one colonel actually
replaced the tri-color by a flag bear
ing ''royalist insignia" Here Gener-
al Jacquey exclaimed you areu ly-

Mr.. John Griffith. the eminent TRACE

the best legitimate actor at present

tall, angular. with a clean-cut figure,
a mobile, strongly featured face, ana
a rich and powerful voice. In these
essentials he is, perhaps, without n

least valuable of his possessions. Be-
fore him lies a straight path to the
highest professional honors that any

Views on the Panama Incident.

Parsons. w. Va, Nov. 4.-Speaking
to an audience which filled the town
hall, Mr.. Davis gave his views on the
Panama incident.
During the Civil War, the United
States, he said. had been in the atti-
tude of imploring foreign nations not
to recognize the secession of the
Southern States. Yet within forty
eight hours after the revolution at
Panama had been decided on at a
town meeting President Roosevelt
recognized the new government of
Panama and sent warships to keep
Colombia from coming within fifty
miles of the isthmus. This Mr.. Davis
said was inconsistent with our past
attitude.

ROOSEVELTS HOT DENIAL.
Which Judge Parker Will Answer in
His Speech Tonight.
rBy the Associated Press. }

Washington. Nov president
Roosevelt tonight made the following
signed statement to the American
people in answer to the charges
made against himself and Mr.. Cortel-
you in public speech by Mr.. Parker,
the Democratic candidate for the
Presidency
white House, Washington, Novem-
Der 4. 1904:
Certain slanderous accusations
as to Mr.. Cortelyou and my
self have been repeated time and
again by Judge Parker, the candidate
of his party for the office of Presi-
dent He neither has produced nor
can produce any proof of their truth
yet he has not withdrawn them, and
as his position gives them wide cur
rency l speak now lest the silence OF
self-respect be misunderstood. Mr..
Parker's charges are to the effect that
the President of the United States and
Mr.. Cortelyou, formerly Mr.. Cleve-
lands executive clerk, then Mr.. Nc
Kinley's and my secretary, then Secre-
tary of Commerce, and later
chairman of the Republican National
Committee, have been in d conspiracy
to blackmaiI corporations, Mr.. COrtel-
you using his knowledge gained while
he was Secretary of the Department
of Commerce and Labor to eXtort
money from the corporations, and l,
the President, having appointed him
for this especial purpose. The
gravamen of these charges lies in the
assertion that the corporations have
been blackmailed into contributing,
and i'm the implication, which in one
or two of Mr.. Parker's speeches has
i. taken the form practically of an as
Sertion, that they have been promised
certain immunitieS or faVorS or have
been assured that they would receive
some kind of improper consideration
in view of their contribution. That
contributions have been made to the
Republican committee, as contribu-
tons have been made to the Demo-
cratic committee is not the question
at issue. Mr.. Parker's assertion in eff
feet is that such contributions have
been made for improper motives, eth
er in consequence of threats or in con-
sequence of improper promises, direct
or indirect, on the part of the re-
cipients. Mr.. Parker knows best
whether this is true of the contribu-
tons of this campaign fund which
have come through his trusted friends
and advisers who represent the great
corporate interests that stand behind
him, but there is not one particle OF
truth iii the statements DIS regards

My attention was first called to the
Colorado grass in the cotton and corn
fields of the Brazos bottoms. 1t comes
in these fields after. they are laid by,
and furnishes fine summer and fall
pastures and makes excellent hay. 1t
is a native of Texas, having its home
in the dry western plains at the head
of the Colorado and Brazos rivers. The
seed drifted down the streams and got
scattered along the bottom lands of
these rivers Most Of the Colorado
grass. however, has come from seed
sown by the farmers.
The habits of this grass are similar
to those of crab-grass, to which it is
superior, however, as forage plant or
as hay It's leaves are longer than
those of crab-grass, and very much
broader, and it's stalk is larger and
taller. It's seed is also much coarser.
One seed, as with crab-grass, produces
a large tuft of grass. stooling at the
roots and branching at the joints, also.
While it has a spreading growth. it is
more upright than crab-grass. The
seeds do not germinate until hot wealth
er, and the plants have the power to
stand drought we'll The seeds remain
in the ground until favorable time,
when they sprout and begin their
growth. Fields that contain the seed
or that are seeded by the farmer pro-
duce excellent pastures or hay-fields IL
broken and narrowed any time during
the summer.
l have observed the Colorado grass
on sandy soil only, though feel sure
1t will grow any place where crab-grass
WILL, and give much more satisfactory
results
Hay from this grass sells well on any
Texas market, both loose and bailed.
Stock are fond of it. l have known
corn and cotton fields to produce more
from the crop Of Colorado grass grow
ing in them than from the corn or cot
ton.
A grass that is so desirable in Texas
would no doubt prove satisfactory In
other southern states--John C. Brideg-
water, In Farm and Fireide.
