GOMPERS GOING TO
CANNON'S DISTRICT.
HIS THREAT TO DEFEAT THE
POPULAR SPEAKER GIVES
LATTER NO CONCERN.

Washington, Oct 19.-SamueI
Gompers, the president of the Amerl-
can Federation OF Labor, has start
ed on his second stumping tour and
will continue in the campaign until
election day. His objective point is
the Danville district In Illinois, where
he will fight against the reelection of
Speaker Cannon. Mr.. Gompers. how
ever, will make number OF speech
es before he reaches Illinois, going
to Connecticut, New Jersey. and
Pennsylvania. He will not, however,
go into Maryland. for evidently he
believes his fight against Represen-
tative Mudd to be in vain. for he
will go around Maryland, speaking
In Scranton and Williamsport, Pa,
the last part OF this week and then
go direct to Speaker Cannon's dis
trict:
So confident is Mr.. Gompers OF de-
feating Speaker Cannon and electing
the labor candidate, Taylor. that he
intends TO remain In Illinois until
November. He has made every at
tempt TO induce John Mitchell TO
join him In the stumping tour In
Speaker Cannon's district, but up to
this time Mr.. Mitchell has refused.
Mr.. Gompers believes, however, that
II he can induce the Democrats to
support Taylor then Mitchell Will
have to show his hand and come in
to the campaign. Mr.. Gompers' de-
termination TO speak i'm Speaker
Cannon's district has not worried
that Republican, nor has II caused
him to curtail his stumping tour In
the east. Speaker Cannon Is so con
fdent OF his reelection that he VIII
not make any speeches in his dis
trict until the very end Of the cam
paign. 10 has always been the
Speakers habit to close the campaign
in his district, and addresses a grand
rally at Danville the night before the
election. and he will follow this pro-
gramme this year.
Before leaving Washington Mr..
Gompers announced that he expected
to go to New York before the cleo
ton and make some speeches Tor
Hearst. Mr.. Gompers does not In
tend however, TO speak in New York
City, but his programme is to talk in
several places in the northern part
of the state, where he hopes to hold
the labor vote for Hearst.

she claims she lent him and kisses
which she confessed blushingly she
gave him outright.
Few single men know how to
kiss" declared tho pretty widow. II
should have known Mr.. Dooling was
married by tho way he kissed me-
Married men know how to kiss bet
ter than single men. Their kisses are
longer and more heartfelt"
This little disquisltion came at the
end or session In Justice Stevens

$500 and the kisses.

WATCH THE RE-
PUBLICAN VAIL.

The double-dealing OF the Repub-
lican Administration on the trust
question is well illustrated in the
case of the sale of the old custom
house In New York to tho National
City Bank. The Government re-
pudiates the ownership of the prop
erty by paying $13O.6OO a year rem
tai for IT; and at the same time
claims ownership OF II In order to
save the bank $4,000 a year I'm
taxes. The history of this outrage
Gus transaction forms one OF the
most instructive chapters OF tho
Democratic campaign text book.
This little book is giving the Pres
ident and the Republican campaign
managers a deal of trouble. On Sum
dy night, October 7th, Congressman n
lanes s. Sherman, of New York: (:
Senator Hopkins, Of Illinois, hnd
Senator Penrose, of Pennsylvania,
were all in consultation with the
President at the White House in
relation to the book. 1t is expected
by Democrats that about the middle
of the last week of the campaign
the President will repeat the perse-
cuted saint act. as he did in respect
to Judge Parker's attack on him in
1904. But those who wrote the
campaign book anticipated such tao
tics and laid before their readers
the proofs OF its charges. Every Dem
ocratic editor and speaker should
equip himself at once with a copy of
the book, and be ready to meet Mr..
Rosevelt's spectacular eleventh hour
denials and denunciations. Be ready
to meet Mr.. Roosevelt this year by
having the facts well I'm hand.-Ex.

ItE DAY DRAWS VERY NEAR FOR TE GREAT DEMOCRATIC MFT(
EleC Ctr0Cuted By
A Live Wire.
A YOUNG MAN INSTANTLY Loos-
rs HIS LIFE.

Electricity last night ushered into
the last long sleep Charles King. a
young man who was practically rear
ed In this icty.
King was an emplayee OF A. c.
Chambers. the liveryman. and soon
after returning to the stables In
South Bluefield last night he noticed
that the electric wires were sparkling
considerably, and fearing a confia-
grafton. he hastily ascended q pair
or steps near the entrance and swung
out on top of the door. Immedia-
tely he reached for the wires, I'm the
hope OF tearing them away, and the
instant he touched them, the fatal
shock passed through his body.
He lost his balance and for a mom-
ent he swung suspended in the air.
When the little finger OF the right
hand had burned completely of and
the third finger parched to a crisp.
his hold upon the wires naturally
relaxed and he fell to the ground
some eight feet distant, the fall
breaking his neck
A physician was hurriedly sum-
moned but long before his arrival
the last spark of like had flown.
The remains were removed into the
store next door and later turned over
to Undertaken Crockett. who pre-
pared them for buriaI
- King was only about 23 years old
and had only been working for Mr..
Chambers since Monday. He had
been married only about four months.

THE PERFECT WIFE

One OF the incest things that Mark
Twain has done I'm his tribute to his
wife. now dead. occurring In the
course OF his autobiography printed In
North Aemrican Reveiw. AS the IA
nous humorist is gentleman in
trfnsically and a man OF kindly heart.
We assume that he let this lady know
what he thought OF her while she
lived 1t Is happy and unhappy fact
however. that the Lood and capable
wife Is so much and so generally the
rule In this country and the ba I, in
capable or unfaithful wife so much
the exception that the average hus-
band forgets to give the woman the
credit she is emitted to. The good wife
does not have her own name or he,
husbands In the sensational column
OF the newspapers. She goes on year
after year patiently and faithfully
performing her duty, meeting the in
Vulnerable little vexations and wor-
ries and the more serious problems
and trials of domestic life, overcom-
ing them, accepting them as part OF
her regular routine. The man who
is the beneficiary, whose happiness
and comfort are dependent absolutely
on thousand small Offices and at
tentions which he hardly recognizes
until they are lacking. forgets to give
ha ed aI, q H..
which are justly due.
Ninety-nine married men in every
hundred have good wives. Possibly
nine-tenths of those so blessed be-
come so accustomed to goodness and
smoothness and the orderly opera
ton OF their households that they
forget the real executive ability, the
devotion, the patience and the toll in
volved In the promotion OF their dai-
ly and hourly comfort Too often It
happens that they do not appreciate
the wife until she has gone and allow
her to die without the expression of
appreciation which the woman's
heart Graves, which Is always grateful
after any lapse OF years or at any age.
The perfect wife may be rare.
Any perfect human being is rare. The
average man who marries, however,
expects spefection and very rarely
does his part to promote II. The per-
feet wife. as there H. such a thing.
and It does bless the world OCCASION
ally Is made by the perfect husband
the man who continues to love and to
worship and to express his alteration
as regularly and as earnestly as he
says his prayers in time OF trouble.
Women are imposed upon and neg
lected-uot. perhaps, by actual alb
sence so much as by the overlooking
of their real merit and service and
ability. Such vast majority OF them
are good, loyal and loving that we
come to accept their virtue, loyalty
and love as matters OF course and in
natural order Of things and fail TO
give them the recognition which men
would except for like qualities mani.
tested through many years. Not one
man in a hundred appreciates his
wife as he should. The exceptional
men who do understand and feel the
woman's side Of the domestic partner
ship have happy homes, regardless Of
outside conditions and circumstances.
III every man would say to his wife
what Mark Twain has written Of
his, practically all our households
would be beautiful with a beauty
which no poverty or sickness or OBJ
security or distress could mar.--Rich-
mond News Leader.

WATER POWERS OF
NORTH WISCONSIN
In No State are They DeStin-
ed to Be of Greater Inn
pOrtdnCe.

In no State are water power destined
to be of greater Importance than in
Wisconsin. The developed water
power has increased from 33700 horse
power in 1870 to $4,000 horse power in
1900, but so far as known on no i'm
portant river in the state has all the
available power been developed. In
paper by L. S. Smith, just issued
by the United State Geological Survey
as Water Supply and Irrigation Paper
No. 156, are discussed the developed
and undeveloped water powers in the
drainage basins of Fox, Menominee,
Peshtigo, Oconto, Wolf, Wisconsin,
Black, Chippewa, and St. Croix riv-
ers, and on the streams tributary to
Lake Superior. This report, which
may be obtained on application to the
Director of the United States Geolog-
zeal Survey, Washington, D. c., con-
tains profiles of all streams that have
been surveyed, all available informa-
ton regarding stream flow, and de-
scriptions of conditions at points where
power is developed or available.
The United States Geological Survey
is now making additional surveys of
streams in cooperation with the State
of Wisconsin. This work is in charge
Of Professor L. S. Smith Of the
University of Wisconsin. During the
present fiscal yeart the State of Wis
consin and the United States Geologi-
cal Survey have each allotted 81, $50 to
this work. This work is being pushed
as rapidly as the available funds per-
nit, and its extension will depend
upon further cooperation and appro-
priations by the State of Wisconsin.
