Public Speaking.

Hon. William Campbell, State SEN
ator from this district and candidate
for reelection on the Democratic
ticket, and Col. R. ?. Chew, Demo-
cratic elector, addressed the voters of
Shepherdstown last Friday night in
the town hall. DR.. Geo. W. Banks,
president of the Democratic club, in
troduced the speakers. Senator Camp
bell devoted his time to a discussion
Of State issues, particularly the action
of the Republican majority in the Leg
islature at its recent special session.
He analysed the new laws, and showed
how hardly they will bear upon the
ordinary taxpayer, particularly the
agricultural interests. Mr.. Campbell
also spoke of the meritorious measures
that were presented for consideration,
but which were turned down by the
majority. He showed pretty con-
clusively that for their sins OF omis-
sion and commission the Republican
party in West Virginia has small
claim upon the voters. Col. Chew
followed in a very interesting speech,
in which he dissected President Roose-
welt personally and politically, and
criticised the Republican party and
its policies. Col. Chew also showed
that some of the measures that the
Republicans OF West Virginia IRE now
claiming credit for were Democratic
reforms inaugurated years ago. a
good audience was present to hear the
speakers.
Monday afternoon the Hon. Abra
ham Lincoln Brick, a Congressman
from Indiana, addressed the Republi-
cans in Shepherdstown. He was in
troduced by Geo. H. Child, chairman
of the county committee. Mr.. Brick
was very excellent speaker, and in
graceful style and pleasing language
presented the issues Of the two polItl-
cal parties from his standpoint. He
talked on national topics entirely,
and of course held up Mr.. Roosevelt
as the ideal leader and his party as
all that could be desired Although
his speech was full Of sophistry, it
was enjoyed by Democrats and Re-
pubhcans alike.

There seems to be no logical reason
why cables cannot be laid across any
section of the ocean regardless of the
depth Some portions of the Atlantic
cables now in use are over three miles
below the surface. There is also no
logical reason why you should continue
to suffer from loss of appetite, belching,
flatulency, sour stomach, headache.

Bitters will positively cure you. 1t has
cured thousands of other cases, prob

 Sir-I read your article of election frauds from an imperfect registration system. l have wondered that the honest voters of the territory have not made an effort to change the system.

There was a registering officer in every precinct or wand, and voters had to go in person and register at his office.

A BISBEE INCIDENT
Narrow Escape From Fire and Panic
 in the School House.

Bisbee had fire scare Friday af- ternoon that will no doubt stimulate her school authorities to greater dis cipline and drill for use in an emer- eency and that will serve as warn ing to all schools who hear about it Fortunately though no serious harm came from it and the teachers of the Bisbee schools demonstrated that they had ccOl heads and quick brains even though unprcpared for the emergency.
 The incident was the kindling of a fire in the basement Ofuthe big build ing that contained 800 pupils and the Bisbee papers say that though the school had no fire drill, the teachers managed to preserve good order and got every pupil out of the school house without injury or panic. Nevertheless the need of a good drill was em- phasized for the next time the result might not be so fortunate.
 The fire was caused by a very un- usual incident. A ten year old boy got possession of a large sized drink of Whiskey and a quantity of wine of sim liar proportions. He tried to get his playmates to help him drink it but they refused whereuPon he mixed the drinks and got outside of the sum total. When school was called he was intoxicated and for want of a better place the principal locked him in the basement. Not long after smoke was seen issu- ing from the basement and the alarm given. The principle rushed down cellar and with an aX broke the door open and rescued the boy who said he had accidentally started the fire by stepping on a match near q pile Of rage. Meanwhile the other teachers ~T building. The fire was put out with but slight damage to the building
