SEEKS
REELECTION

Wheeling, W. Va, Nov 20
EfWhy certainly I'm a candidate.
That's been the understanding all
along.
This was the statement made by
Congressman Blackburn Barrett Dow
ener to a newspaper reporter, when
he was asked if he would be can
didate for reelection.
There have been certain rumors
abroad to the effect that Congress
man Dovener would retire after his
present term, but that he has no
such intentions is shown in his We
hement declaration that he will be a
candidate to succeed himself.
There have been rumors to the +
feet that Hon. 3. M. Showalter
withdrew his candidacy at the last
election with the understanding that
Congressman Dovener would not be
a candidate at the next election, but
the latter strenuously denies that ne
hid any such understanding with
Mr.. Showalter.
sSWhv it would be unwise for me
TO retire at this time, when the OHIO
river Improvement is as yet in the
embryo. I'm the only man on the
Ohio river between Pittsburg and
Cairo that is member of the rivers
and harbors committee of congress.
There are 49 states in this union and
IL members on that committee, Sc
YOU see if I should retire there IS a
likelihood that there would be no
congressman from the Ohio river
district on that committee and there
would be no congressman to keep
hammering away for locks and dams
on the river"

FALSE CRITIC.

Some of the criticisms of the city
council made by the Clarksburg
News are so contemptibly low and
mean and basely untrue that they
ought not to call for reply. Some
of them show the densest ignorance.
For instance, the council deemed it
best to restrict the officers at heads
of departments in buying supplies.
and the News man who was present,
when that was done, makes the flag
rantly false statement that it came to
light that different councilmen were
buying for the city without going
through the regular routine provid-
ed. The ignorant part about it is
that the one who wrote that seems
to be unable to distinguish between
the head of the fire department. or
some other department and coun-
Gilman. If otherwise, then inten-
tional mischief is meant, and the
motive that Of disappearing the
acts of members of the council to
prejudice the public against the adj
ministration. And the statement
made concerning the action of coun-
ell in accepting the resignation of
Mr.. Hart was not intended to be
made in a spirit of fairness. Mr..
Hart handed it in two weeks ago !;
council did not then act upon it,
and, when it came up Friday night
mot as routine business, but as un-
finished business, it was acted on in
the usual way. Tt was plain ques-
ton and there was no reason for dis
custom. Every councilman present
thoroughly understood that it was
his earnest desire to withdraw from
the council and they were not at all
disposed to force him to remain
with them. This being true the
motion to accept it was made in the
usual way and the vote was unanim-
Gus. It certainly would have been
wholly improper to lambast the life
out of him for resigning and there
were none there who felt inclined to
eEtol him for his action. The
council did not dispose of the matter
as though it was hot They took
two whole weeks to think it over
And why was the statement made by
the News except to mislead? The
fact is the News man was not in the
council meeting when the matter
came up and was voted on, and how
he can pretend to speak so profess
sedly authoritatively on the subject
none know except himself.
Again, the News is so base and
degraded that it refers to the city |
government as a gang of vulturcs
that infest the Offices of our city gov
eminent and say they are as corrupt
a set as could be found in any NUM-
cipality in any part of this country
That paper is here asked to particu-
larize. What councilman has it
reference to? Is there one whose
public acts show him to be vulture !?
What other officer is shown to be
vulture?
The charges made by the News
rare at random and it knows we'll
enough there is not one particle of
ground for them. In justice to it
self and to every one else it must
produce the proof of the charges it
makes and there is the rub with it. |
because it knows we'll enough no such
proof is forthcoming because the
charges themselves are groundleSs.

at 1O:45 O'Clock tonight after two days
of Inconsistencies, during which time
death was expected at any time.
Mr.. Beckwith was about 65 years

five indictments against Beckwith up.

the loans made to Mrs. Cassie l..

his arrest Mr.. Beckwith's health rap.
idly failed, as result of worry over
his troubles. He frequently declared
during his illness that he wanted to
die. For several days prior to his
death he refused to take food in any
form. Death resulted directly from
heart trouble.
The death of President Beckwith
may materially weaken the cases of
forgery and conspiracy to misapply

MRS. CULVER

Charles Potter King. at the residence
of Senator Clark in the Navarro apart

by the Rev. DR.. J. Ross Stevenson,
pastor of the Fifth avenue Presbyter-
ian church.
The bridegroom is a prominent law
yer of this city.
The announcement of the wedding
came as great surprise to the circle
in which the parties muve
The bride gained considerable no
toriety last year through litigation
with her husband in suit which was
tried before referee. Each of the
witnesses who testifieu IN behalf of
Mrs. Culver made reference to mys-
FERROUS young woman in whose COM
pany DR.. Culver, they said, was often
seen. The name of this woman was
not revealed and though it was ad-
mitted by counsel for defendant that
Culver had spent much time with a
young woman answering the general
description given by the witnesses for
his wife, his relations with her were
declared to have been no more than
friendly.
Disputing this assertion, testimony
was given by plaintiffs side for the
purpose of establishing the fact that
the two lived as man and wife in the
summer OF 1908 in one of the most eX.
elusive colonies on Long Island.
Mrs. Culver won the suit and the
custody of her daughter Katherine.
The Culvers were married ten years
when their matrimonial troubles be-
gan.
Miss Clark was pupil in Miss
Reeds school for girls when DIR. Gull
yer met and wooed her. She finished
her education in convent in France.
After her marriage Mrs. Culver devel-
Oped into an original and charming
hostess and several dinners were CIV
en- which were remarkable for their
unique settings. The couple was fond
or outdoor sports and yachting.
Among those who witnessed the
marriage ceremony were DR.. and Mrs.

MORE PEACE TALK.
Peculiar Action Of Russia Causes Con
siderable Comment.

London, Feb. Much speculation
has been caused here by the fact that
the Russian government on Monday
assumed control of the Siberian tele.
graph lines from o'clock in the morn.
ing until in the afternoon. It is
said to be the first occasion on which
telegraph communication has been
stopped since the war uegan.
Various possible causes are discuss
ed. such as the strike movement to
the Siberian railway and important
correspondence with General Kuro-
patkin. Little attention is paid to
rumors of peace mediation, but the
Chronicles st. Petersburg cores
pendent sends the statement. which
however, is not confirmed in other
dispatches, that the recent conferences
OF the grand ducal party to consider
the far eastern prospects arrived at
an agreement as to the desirability
OFFENDING the war and that the rumol
of General Kuropatkin's resignation
was started to facilitate negotiations
for peace.

The Lewistown district school

toward issuing bonds, as permitted
under the Wiedeman bill recently

when it is expected that all the de-
tails of the bond issue will be dis
posed Of
From the best information obtain
