ALL DOUBT HAS VANISHED.
Small Boys Clinch the Statement
Spring Is Here

An infalliple precursor of the gentle
spring time appeared on the streets
Wednesday evening. when n crowd of
small bows onngregated to play mar
bles, ending smooth. dry SPOT in the
middle at the thorouGhfare where all
had been mud and slime before Coun.
Gilman George Schill got mp from a
sick bed TO make a change. Another
evidence appeared this morning. when
other small boys brought supply ct
tops from their winter quarters aud
started to spin them on the concrete
sidewalks. AT the posto6ice corner a
big. digniied insurance man ran
across his small son making vain
efforts to cause the top to spun, and
remarkino that he would show him
trick In top-spinninR. thu large gen
tleman started in to teach the lad
His efforts were watched by crowd
of interested SPECTATORS from the
windows OF the building. and his
efforts to make the top 90 round"
afforded no end OF amusement. He
finally gave it up with the remark
that he wished he had studied the
game at school instead OF wasting hir
time on Greek aud Latiu.

ington by the friends Of the hiR states
man who are still in that city. Ac-
cording to the Information received.
President Roosevelt. who is an ad.
mirer OF Mr.. Teter, has gwen him to
understand that notwithstanding the
action taken by Senators Scott and
Elkius anent the collectorship job. he
would get lace even better than il
and that neither of our senator's world
have hand in the deal that shuffles
the winning cards. It is known that
hotn Scott and Elkins have pledged
themselves regarding the collectorship
Scott to Stark L. Baker. Of Bever.
ley, and Elkins to w. e. GlasscocK,
of Mor0antown. II is understood that
neither will accept Teter as COM
promise man.
This information has been carried
to the president who knows some
thing OF Teter's record as a politi-
clan aDd as such has been admired by
him. Calling a particular friend If
Teter's into his confidence he i'm.
parted the information that there need
be DO worrv because he would look
after Teter personally and would give
him job equally as good as first as
sistant postmaster general which he
conld not give him on account of Mr..
Hitchcock. What this new place is
was not stated hut the promise of the
president is strong enough to put at
ease the minds of the Teter followers.
If this information is true. the field
is all but clear for the appointment of
Senator Stark L. Baker. OF Randolph
county, as collector. THIS may not be
believed bv the friends of Mr.. Glass.
cock, who are not onto the working
of the latest political game, hut there
is reason to believe that the Moraau-
town man will listen to the advice
of several of his friends and take
the clerkship of Dayton's court as his
share OF the favors. OF course there
is not such a large salary in this
place, but the job is lasting one
and il not hard, besides being one that
appeals to Mr.. Glasscock's tastes.
While no official announcement is
looked for to straighten ont the fanale
before the last of this week or the first
or next, it is predicted trat such
course of events as outlined above will
he the result.

IS NOW JUDGE DAYTON
Appointment to Federal Bench
Confined BY the Senate.
Mr.. TeTER TO BE CARED FOR
Information From Washington Indi-
Gates That He Will Be Given
Place BY the President.

Place by the freSluenJ.
The final chapter but one in the
elevation Of Congressman Aston G..
DAYTON of the federal bench was writ
ten in Washington Tuesday. when
the senate confirmed his appointment
to the position left yacane by the res
ignation of Judge John Jay jackson.
There was not the slightest opposition
to the action of the senate, and the
nomination was confirmed along with
several others sent in by the presi-
dent. 1t is now Judge Dayton. and it
is presumed tnat his resignation as q
member of congress from the Second
West Virginia district is on its way
to Governor Dawson at Charleston.
and reac he'd there Thursday. 1t is
believed that Mr.. DAYTON lost no
time in sendiug in his resignation, in
order to permit call for special
election at an early date.
Under the law the governor will
issue notice of the special election in
a very short time. The Gate of the
election NAV be set for any time be-
tween 80 and rs DAYS from the day
the seat 10 congl ess becomes vacant.
1t is probable that the governor Will
fix she time for about May is, giving
ample time for both parties to hold
their primaries. name their candi-
dates and make brief canvass of the
district. In well-informed circles
there is no question OF the election of
the republic ian nominee. as that party
would enter the contest flushed with
the recent great victory, while their
opponents would probably be apa-
thetic and fail TO poll even the usual
vote.
The final chapter in the realization
of Mr.. Daytou's life ambition will
come when he takes the oath of office
and formally dons the black silk robe
laid aside after so many wears by
Judge jackson. Judge DAYTON will
become judge in fact tomorrow morn
ing. the resignation of the iron
judge taking effect today. 1t is
thought tlat no will at once take the
oath of ffice before one OF the clerks
of his court, in order that there shall
be no gap between the old and new
regime. Judge ravton will make his
first appearance in Martlnsbnrg at the
Nav term of his court and will be
warmly greeted bv his friends here.
