WASHINGTON. ID. c.. February l2-
The influence of Representative Slemp
with the administration In matters af-
fecting Virginia Federal appointments, re-
main apparently unimpaired. This was
pretty we'll shown by the appointment
of s. Brown Allen, to succeed himself as
Marshal of the Western District, when
opposition of such strong character
was brought TO bear, and It was signally
shown to-day III the case OF the staun-
ton Office. when the President sent To,
the Senate, the name of II. a. F'ulwiler,
to be postmaster of that city, to succeed
Postmaater S. NJ. Yost, who had held
the office for about twenty-seyen years,
with short inter1nissons.
Major Yost. who Is the father of Hon
Jacob Yost. who represented the Tenth
of the ablest men in the Republican
party in Virginia. But the Yosts and
the faction of the party led by Colonel
s. Brown Allen, have been at logger
heads for years. 1t was Colonel Allen
who did more than any other one man
to make Mr.. Slemp the controlling factor
in Virginia politics, by giving him the
control of the State organization. 1t
looked at one time AS though Colonel
Slenp had rued him OF the bargain, but
it is learned that while he did not pub
licly indorse either Colonel Allen or
STATE Senator Noel for the narshalship.
he in reality gave all his support to Allen
and In reality caused his appointment.
Mr.. Slemp Is responsible for the removal
of Major Yost and the appointment of
Mr.. Fulwiler, close friend of Colonel
Aliens and the Otter opponent of the
Yosts.
Disastrous Mastivity.
The nomination OF Charles NJ. Keezell
10 be postmaster at Hurrisonblrg, to
succeed Rev. Mr.. Funkhouser, is also
the work of the Slemps. The latter have
a most fetching way with the President.
They made charge that the incumbent
of an Office is not active politically. TINT,
IL. fact he only holds office. This charge
was made In the case OF Postmaster
Knight of Richmond. and Roy Il. CabelI
was appointed. It Is made against the
postmaster at Fredericksburg, and 1t is
understood to be settled that the appll-
cant endorsed by Colonel Slemp viii

who has not been publicly so active in
recent years. It is reported, however,
that Mr.. Slemp will recommend Nalr

his resolution not to talk to a news

"OId Jaw Bonc!"

The Corpus Christi Caller tells
of a recent fisherman luck in the
bay there as follows:
Ore beauty about fishing III Cor
pus Christi waters at this season of
the year is. that you are liable 10
catch anything from a cold to a
cast-off rubber boot. All kinds of
catches are reported daily, but Mr.
J. H. Sullivan today brought to
the Caller Office the most unique
thing perhaps ever ished from Cor
pus Christi, bay. 1t was a complete,
we'll preserved jaw bone of . hui
man being. From its appearance
one would judge it had been ages
since that grisly relic masticated
food for its original possessor, and
but for the fact that it had a de-
cayed tooth one might suppose it
was the inferior maxilla of an
aboriginal fisherman, who, ages ago,
in a bark canoe, piled his vocation
here. Mr.. Sullivan is not easily
startled, but after bite from such
a jaw he hunted another place to
make his next throw as it was fish
and not anatomical specimens he
was after. Mr.. Sullivan is a citi-
zen of Denton county and is enjoy
ing himself here to the fullest eX-
tent.

A casual study of the markets just

intelligence that the supply of good
turkeys is far below the demand and
that there is money to be made by
some one who will raise turkeys and
have them in the proper condition
when the holiday season comes around.

weeks the prices of turkeys have
ranged from "a to 80 cents per pound,

Why Apples Don't Sell.

There has been some discussion in
the country papers about the prices
being received by farmers who send
their apples to the Seattle commits
sion houses. The White River Jour-
nal, published at Kent, not long ago
stated that orchardists in the White
river valley were feeding their fine
apples to the hogs because "they can
not get enough for them in the Sc
attic market to pay for the hauling"
The Journal added: There is some
thing rotten on Western avenue, be-
sides apples, if the truth were known"
