tiip around the world with nothing
to do. 1t will be interesting to see
whether Mr.. LOOMS interest in the
service starts him off on trip OF
this sort.
The statehood bills for Oklahoma
and Indian Territory and for Ari-
zona and New Mexico will in all
probability be among the measures
that will get hearing in a few
weeks, There is big delegation
of Oklahoma boomers and Indian
Territory people in Washington
now in the interests of their bill.
They are perfectly willing for joint
statehood and in all probability the
Hamilton bill, which comes the
nearest to their wishes, will be
passed. About the only thing
they do object to is any provision
for total abstience in the new state.
They say that the government, be-
ing the guardian Of the Indians can
naturally do with them as II likes.
but they decidedly object to coming
into the Union with a prohibition
proviso applying to all the white
people in the state as we'll as the
Indians. On the other hand, the
bill for joint statehood between
New Mexico and Arizona will in all
probability have a harder road 10
travel. Senator Beveridge has
made personal measure of the
JOINT statehood bill, and has inter.
ested' the President in It TO the ex-
tent OF having him endorse the
measure in the late message. But
at the same time II is doubtful IL
there will be any further active sup.
port for the bill from the White
House. There are no delegations
from either territory in Washington
in the interests of the bill, and the
anexiety for Joint statehood, If any
exists, is almost entirely on the side
of New Mexico.
The people of Arizona say that
they would rather be left out OF the
Union indefinitely than tied up with
New Mexico on the question of adj
mission. This is rather natural as
New Mexico has population to out
vote the Arizona half OF the state
on any proposition and would thus
control the politics of the Joint
state. And as New Mexico is es-
senlially foreign speaking com
Inonwealth while Arizona Is peopled
chiefly by native Americans, the re-
pugnance is rather natural.

SENATOR sam Is GOOD FRIEND
OF THE LOCAL NORMAL.
From The Fa,rmon, Times

From The Fairmont Times.
Senator Sam. Montgomery, OF
Preston county, who is spending a
short time in the city on business.
paid a visit 20 the State Normal
School this morning in company
with Hon. T. w. Fleming and
after looking over the school and
visiting the women's dormitory now
In course of construction he ad.
dressed the faculty and student
body in the chapel.
Senator Montgomery is one of
the Normal schools best friends.
But tor him no appropriation would
have been made for the dormitory
at the session of the Legislature
last winter and for this reason he
was warmly welcomed at the school
this morning.
Last winter when the appropria.
ton bills were before the Senate
Senator Talbot, of Upshur county,
moved TO strike out the approprla-
tion of the woman's dormitory of
the local school. The motion
would doubtless have passed had it
not been for Senator Montgomery,
who in powerful address argued
in favor of the dormity and secured
the appropriation.
Both Senator Montgomery and
Mr.. Fleming addressed the chapel
and their talks were interesting as
we'll as nighly instructive.
Mr.. Fleming spoke first and when
Senator Montgomery arose he
brought forth round after round of
applause by stating that it was very
embarrassing for him to attempt to
talk after such a splendid address
had been made by United States
Senator.
Such an enthusiastic reception
showed that Mr.. Fleming's boom to
oust Senator Elkins is we'll known
to the student body.

along in the neighborhood OF Rock

around the sleeping car and went to
the berth OF +. M. Selig, of Pitts
burg where he awakened him with
an oath and told him he was going
to kill him. Selig was not slow in
pressing the electric button and the
porter came In. Dorr wanted TO
know whether he was in saloon
or hotter place. Meantime seIig
had dressed and told no was ready
to be shot. Dorr jumped into his
berth and covered himself up.
When he came here he was placed
in a cell and Mr. Selig awakened
Justice Clark and made an informa-
ton against Dorr. His condition
was so bad that the justice could
not give him hearing Immediately.
In the meantime Dorr told Selig
that he was an ex-Congressman in

hbiied a j. & o. annual pass, said
he was an attorney, and also a
member Of the Elks. Mr.. selig
