BEAT AND SHOT WIFE.

Shelton. the wife-beater, who has
just served thirty days in jail, is re-
garded as menace around Wares
Wharf, Essex county. On Saturday
night last he shot through window at
his wife, the ball injuring the scalp.
He also tried to kill Stonewall Carter
and John Henry Halle.
Shelton went there from the Eastern
Shore of Maryland, about a year ago
and worked as foreman at Griffith &
Oelainer's saw mill. There he met
Miss Dee Sheppard, quiet, innocent
country girl. She became infatuated
with the man, and about six months ago
they We're married.
1t was reported that he frequently
whipped her. Threats Of giving Shelton
summary punishment were made. but
in the meantime he went to his wife
while she was living at the home of her
brother-in-iaw, John Henry Halle, and
administered severe beating and "skip-
ped the State
1t was alleged that he had another
wife in Maryland. Nothing was heard
OF him for some time after his sudden
disappearance, but some months ago he
returned and sought reconciliation.
This was effected. But in few days
he began his cruel treatment again.
His wife left him and sought refuge in
the home of James Akers, near Wares
Wharf.
One night Shelton succeeded in per.
suading his wife out of the house and
under threats of beating her to death if
she gave an alarm or refused to 90
with him, he made her follow him.
When 1T was reported to Justice Camp-
bell he sent a posse in hot pursuit of
him. He was captured after a hard
chase near the line between King &
Queen and Essex counties. His wife
bore marks of terrible beating. and
seemed almost paralyzed from fear.
This resulted in speedy trial and
thirty days confinement and fine of SOS.
1t was hoped that when his time was
up he would leave for good, but in
stead of his punishment helping to
mend his ways, he is worse. A posse is
looking for him.

PATENT TONG SITUATION.

While many were dubious-ws
among them, though we advocated
their use as to the wisdom of again
allowing the use of patent tongs, the
hrst week of the patent tong season
has banished all doubt, certainly in
the great field of the Rsppahannock.
Patent tongs are being hsiled here as
the SAVIOR of life, and we confess they
are just now the only thing to keep
hundreds of families from vergine
on starvation and to give the mer-
chant hope that some of his back
bills will be paid. A large element
had become almost desperate from the
poor longing outlook. There is no
strike of young oysters, and in many
waters the young of last season lad
been destroyed by lax regard for the
outlaws. Sowhen ordinary tongs were
first cast some two weeks ago, there
were comparatively few oysters to be
found, and indications pointed to q
famine within sixty days. For three
years the deep water rocks have had
rest, and last Monday when the hun
dreds of patent tongs were thrown
over, and a weeks work has shown
plenty of oysters. and large, there,
the exuberance of our people knew
no bounds.
Assuming that after two or three
short seasons working the Legisla-
ture will again stop their use for
awhile, we can see little harm to be
done by patent tongs. 10 fact the
only detriment is in disturbing this
spawning ground. The increase in
planted stock may offset shortage
of deep water spawn. On the other
hand, the benefits to be derived
from patent tongs are numerous.
Old oysters will be caught and util-
lied, and not left to die; working
over Of the rocks is beneficial if not
too raoid; three months (term of

Will give the inshore rocks q rest,
and If the Gull law is properly en-.
forced there will be oysters enough
lnshore to give work a plenty after
January first. In truth, if it were
not for patent longing the oyster out
put this season in the Rappahannock
would be practically nil. The pros
pect, at best, this season is for a
diminished supply of oysters from
the Chesapeake section. In large
measure the patent tongers will
remedy this.
Conditions in the Rappahannock

to other Virginia waters. With the

down the bay, but with a change of
wind tables will be reversed and
patent tongs will be as thick az
mosquitoes In the waters of Gwynn's.
The activity of inspectors and
police will be necessary to see that
the cell law is not abused and the
timely savior of the oyster people is
not turned into curse.

This ever delightful mountain canyon
is fast assuming place with the finest
and most exclusive country home parks
of the west. Former campers who were
familiar with the wildwood beauty and
charm of the "Old Armchair" when it
was first opened in 1900 are now
amazed to see comfortable country
homes costing from $500 to $4,000 each
all along the driveway from Hazel Dell
to Royal Park and Lotusdale.
Each house is surrounded by its own
private park and grounds, standing well
away from and above the smooth, even
ly graded drive, and only partially
glimpsed through dense green bowers
of aspen, maple, birch and pine. On the
cool, spacious verandas and fiowery
terraces are hammocks and rustic rock
ers, from whose comfortable depths one
may contentedly read or Jest with
pleasant friends, the happy hours away,
or one may dreamily watch the ever
changing play of sunshine and shade in
and out of the canyons opposite or on
the blue hills of Parley's, Red Butte
and City Creek, far away.
From the deeply hidden or sparkling
brook wells up the laughing splash of
falling water, while shy wild birds in
the verdant foliage overhead sing
sweetly the woodland songs that cities
never hear.
These delightful places usually have
their own, or mutual, piped water sys-
TENS and stables. Bath rooms, conve-
nient kitchens, cool, open-screen dining
rooms and wide verandas are consid-
cred most certainly essential.

WILL DECEIVE NOBODY.

A week or two ago the chairman of
the Republican congressional campaign
committee issued pathetic appeal for
funds. He asked all members of the
party to send 81 each to the treasurer
of the organization. The appeal was
based on the statement that it was
deemed inadyisable to accept heavy
contributions from former we'll known
contributors. The chairman did not go
so far as TO say that congress had
passed a law against campaign contri-
buttons by corporations, but he came
near saying 1t. The truth, of course.
is that congress has done nothing of
the kind. The Republican majority
there refused, to take favorable action
on the proposed law
The result of this inaction is that the
Republican congressional campaign
committee is exactly where it has been
in other years. 1t is in shape to solicit
contributions from the corporations and
to receive them, outside of the state of
New York, where stringent law was
recently enacted. The difficulty with
which the committee is confronted
comes, not from any laws. that have
been placed on the statute books, but
from the corporations themselves. The
life insurance companies and trusts and
given so largely to the Republicans in
the past have recently been forced to
stand in the fierce, light of adverse
public opinion.
They may give something this year
in spite OF the adverse criticism and
the publicity but they are not apt to
give generously, and they certainly will
not give openly They will see to it,
however, that the Republicans do not
suffer. This is specially true of the
protected interests, The fiat has gone
forth that the campaign is to be waged
this--year on the tariff. Advance in
formation on the Republican campaign
book is to the effect that the American
people are to be asked to stand pat"
on present tariff schedules. to confirm
them in existence by. continuing the
Republicans in control of the house.
The usual sop is to be thrown the re-
visionists in the statement that if the
tariff must be revised the work should
be done by friends of the tariff, t. e.,
the Republicans. Now it is a matter of
common knowledge that the sentiment
in favor of revising the tariff was
strong year ago and that it is
stronger today than then. The eminent
gentlemen who profit by the tariff must,
in order to continue to profit, come to
the rescue of the Republican party this
year as always.
So the popular contribution of a dol
lar from every loyal party man" is a
bluff a fraud, a deception and a snare.
1t will not fool anybody, least of all

party,

THE M ETALS.

Two more states, Michigan and NORTH
Dakota, took their places In the Bryan
parade yesterday Every Democratic
state convention that has been held
recently has endorsed Bryan for the
presidential nomination in 1908, save
the Pennsylvania convention which
eontented itself with commencing the
Nehraskan. And the only reason Penn
sylvania did not make a straightout
endorsement was that the convention
Did not nominate a regular Democratic
ticket "
In the conventions that are yet to be
held it is more than likely that Bryan
will again be endorsed. 1t may be said
TO be practically settled right now
nearly two years in advance of the
presidential convention, that IF Bryan
lives he will be the nominee of the
Democrats for the presidency. The de-
mand for him is too spontaneous, too
widespread and too genuine to be mis-
taken. And unless all signs fail, Mr..
Bryan will succeed President .Roose-
welt. ~s >.-.---.~
1t is rather dangerous to indulge in
predictions two years before an cleo
ton, but unless conditions change very
much Mr.. Bryan will have at least a
first rate chance to be elected. The
rank and file of the Republicans, as
we'll as many leaders of that party, are
seriously alarmed over the Bryan
boom. Mr.. Roosevelt is being besought
by his admirers to become a candidate
to succeed himself
To all these friends the same answer
has been returned by Secretary Loeb:
The president will. under no circum-
stances, reconsider his expressed deter
mination not to become again a candi-
