Elkins will reply in, the, same VEN
by saying: We'll, now that you an
archists have made your little speeches
give the trusts and railroads a little
show will you!'
Mr. Elkins has been very success,
full business man and despite the eff
forts of some of his colleagues to rep
resent MIN as looking after the inter-
ests Of corporations, his name IS at
tached to some laws that have come
from his committee mat are univer-
sally regarded as most beneficial to the
country. He is very proud Of the law
which bears his name and which pre-,
vents the granting of rebates by rail-
roads-a law that much to the gratifi-
cation of the senator, has been sus-
tanned by the supreme court of the
United States - ss-5s
Mr.. Elkin's success in amassing
very comfortable fortune makes him
the envy of his less fortunate senate
rial colleagues. 4 well-known senator
from the south, who would not object
to learning the secret of winning
wealth, asked Mr.. Elkins in all seri-
BUSINESS the other day to tell him how
to make money. 1t is not recorded that
the West Virginia senator furnished
the southerner with formula for ac-
cumulating wealth.

ident Roosevelt is determined upon a
gradual reorganization Of that service
that will put competent men in all for
eign posts and bring the whole system
up to the highest standard. Mr. LOOMS
is an old newspaper man who entered
the consular service during the Harri-
son administration and, after the, in
terval of the Cleveland administration,
was promoted by President Mckinley
to the diplomatic service, his first post
being minister to Venezuela.
The assistant secretary has much
faith in the efficiency of newspaper
men as consuls He finds them alert
and watchful of the interests Of Amer
lean commerce abroad. A recent inves-
tigation of this service by Third Assist
ant Secretary Pierce has developed a
good deal of dead timber and it is the
purpose of the administration to elm
mate this There is good deal Of
criticism of some American ,consuls,
who seem to regard their positions as
mere sinecures and give little thought
to the maintenance of the dignity Of
their government Some surprise has
been expressed as to why SO many Of
the best consulships have been given
t, naturalized citizens. 1t is main
tanned that the native-born Americans
are more likely to be imbued with the
proper national pride. It is also as
serted that the sending of naturalized
citizens back to the country of their
birth does not always bring the best re-
suits as they do not command the re-
spect among their old countrymen that
is necessary to the full success Of
American representatives.

after Mr. Knox came to Washing
ton as attorney general he and
Mr. Bailey met and found they had
tastes in common, particularly love
4or finely bred horses. This establish
ed bond of friendship between them
that has been very pleasant to both.
They get together very frequently in
the senate, during dull debate, and
discuss roaosters, trotters and fine
race horses.
The day Mr.. Knox took the, oath in
the senate and sat down at his seat
the first man to congratulate him was
Mr. Bailey Knox, we are mighty glad
to see you here" said Mr.. Bailey, "and
we democrats are ready to do anything
for you short of treason"
Mr. Knox acknowledged the compli-
ment and not many days after grati-
fed the Texas senator by voting for an
important amendment which the latter
offered to the Philippine government
bill that was being voted upon. This
amendment provided for the regulation
of freight rates and transportation on

Philippine government. The amend
ment was defeated, although nine 9TH
err republicans besides Mr.. Knox voted
for it. -
Mr.. Knox owns a pair of the best
roadsters in the United States and he
and, Mr.. Bailey frequently are seen
taking a spin behind these flyers. Mr..
Bailey at one time owned a fine stock
farm in Kentucky and he knows horses
thoroughly. What he didn't know
when he went into the business he
learned from another close republican
friend, Representative Sibley, of Penn
sylvania, who, with his partner, Gen.
Miller, conducts one of the finest stock
breeding establishments in the United
States When Sibley first came to
Washington he brought some of his
fine horses with him, but would not
keep team in the city more than two
months at time, as he considered the
hard asphalt pavements injurious to
the thoroughbreds' feet. Latterly Mr..
Sibley has taken up the automobile
fad and he treats his congressional
friends to rides in his "red devil'' in
stead of taking them for lively spin
behind pair of fast trotters.

marked and the weather lndlca-
tons so clearly displayed that the
merest layman can understand There
are varied colored lines to lndl-
cate different conditions of the wealth
er. There is the rain and snow line,
clear and cloudy, warm and cold. Al
each of the signal stations marked
upon the map there is stuck lit
tie flag indicating the condition OF the
weather by colors. Alongside are
written numerals indicating the state
Of the thermometer.
These weather stations, for that is
really what they are, are in charge OF
two competent observers who receive
reports direct from the weather bu-
reau and quickly mark upon the maps
any change in temperature or condi-
ton of the skies. Coming storms are
heralded with accuracy and the exact
state Of the weather outside of the big
capitol building is registered on deli
cate instruments together with the We
locity of the wind. Every morning
these. alcoves are visited by members
Of the, house and senate who come
from distant states and who are anx-
ious to know toe state Of the weather
at their homes. 1
''What have we out in Wyoming to-
day." says Senator Warren, as he scru-

legislation that will regulate the

president and it is not saying too much
to state that the big majority of them
have been converted to the presidents
view.
This is great big question; the
biggest in the country and in the world
and something ought to be DONE" is
the remark attributed to ]. Pierpont
Morgan, the great financier and rail
road man. Mr. Morgan is much OBJ
served person when he comes to Wash
ington. His last visit was. to attend
the Gridiron club dinner, but he stayed
over for day or two and combined
business with pleasure by talking to
the president and senators about the
proposed legislation. Mr.. Morgan has
a reputation of being somewhat exclu-
sive and gruff in his manner, but the
atmosphere of Washington seems to
soften some of the asperities of his
character and he is voted a pretty good
fellow by those who come in contact
with him.
President A. j. Cassett, of the Penn
sylyania railroad, is democratic in his
movements and he does not try to hide
his presence in Washington, but goes
about the public buildings and the de-
partments as freely as any other citi-
zen. He dropped into the committee
room of the senate committee on in
terstate commerce the other day and
listened with great relish to the hear
ing that was in progress on railroad
bill. After he had retired Senator Ben
Tillman said to Chairman Elkins:
'Who was that gentleman who ap-
peared SO interested in these proceed
ings?"
THAT was Cassatt, of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad" answered Elkins.

From all the indications there
will be happy brides and reJolc-
ing bridegrooms galore during the
present month of June, as some
thing like a half-dozen wedding
ceremonies will take place within
the ensuing thirty days in this
city. This will mean quite a rush
of business at the Office of County
Clerk Duty, and incidentally the
ministers will have many pleasant
calls upon their time and atten-
ton. For a number Of years past

coming rush is by no means an
exceptional one, the record being

''DutChmdn'S"
Per Cent

Our city is composed Of some
very enterprising citizens among
the old residenters, and they are
very DESTROYS of building up the
city. Now as for example, recent
ly a business house wished to buy
the lot they had been leasing for
years and as the land owners have
an agent also an old residenter,
the aforesaid business man made
his wants known to the agent who
quietly had the lot put in his own
name and then resold it at an ad-
vance of the Dutchman's one and
a half per cent on $50 per cent,
and this is the kind of people who
are so enthusiastic for booming
our cityand wanting to bring the
county seat here to Sistersville.
If the county seat is ever moved
here it will not be by the action of
any of the old property owners.
but by the work and money of the
oil country people and those who
have been brought here by the oil
people. - Sistersvilie correspOn-

FIXING Railroad Rates.

Making railroad rates il like playing
g game Of checkers or chess. Commun-
tiles to be benefited, producers, manu-.
facturers or shippers to be aided, repre-
sent the pieces used. Every possible
move Ia studied for its effect on the
general result by skilled traffic man
ayers. A false move in the making Of
freight rates may mean the ruin Of .
city, Of great manufacturing interest,
OF an agricultural community. Rail
roads strive to build up ell these so
that each may have an equal chance in
the sharp competition Of business. So
sensitive to this rivalry are the rail-
roads that In order to Luild up business
along their lines they frequently allow
the shipper to practically dictate
rates. Rate making has been matter
Of development; Of mutual concesaicns
for mutual benefit. That lie why tEss
railroads Of the United States have vol
UNFAIRLY made freight rates 20 much
lower In this country than they are on
the governmentowned and operated
railways OF Europe and Australia that
they are now the lowest transportatitr
rates in the world.
