Col. Boone Sells His Paper.

Col. W. l. Boone. who has conduct
ed the Eastern Panhandle newspaper
in Sbepberdstown for several years
past, has sold out his establishment to
stock company composed of Repub-
licans mostly from this section. The
company is capitalized at $4,000,
and we understand that he gets about
$1,000 for his plant. Those named as
the principal stockholders are Post
master Harry E. Muudey, of Shep-
herdstown Postmaster Sommers, of
Berkeley Springs; Postmaster W. l..
Erwin, of Harper's Ferry; Assistant
Postmaster b. n. Bradley, of Charles
Town; Tracy L. Jeffords, of Harper's
Ferry ]. D. Billmyer, of Shepherds
town; and others in various parts Of
the State. We don't know whether
Postmaster Clohan, of Martinsburg,
is in the company or not, but as it
seems to be sort of postmasters en-
terprise We suppose he has finger in
the pie-especially if there are any
plums in it. 1t is said that j. D. Bill
myer is to be business manager and
that Mr.. Jefords is to direct its edi-
torial policy. From the preponder-
ance of postmasters it is natural to
suppose that it will be an Elkins or
gan out.and.out, but this will antsg.
onize the State and national admin.
istrations and cause possible compli-
cations.
Col. Boone informs us that he ex-
poets to remain in Shepherdstown IN.
til fall, when he will go to North Car.
DINA to conduct newspaper. Heis,
in our opinion, burying his talents by
doing so. There is only one field
broad enough for the able fnancier
who has succeeded in unloading this
property at such a handsome figure
on the aspiring politicians, a part of
whom are above named-and that is
Wall Street. Although unsolicited.
we cannot but advise the genial Col
onel to go to New York and associate
himself with ]. Pierpont Morgan.

companies. the Des Moines Ice Com-
pany the Iowa Ice Company and the
Arctic Ice Company. These three
companies have 4 fixed rate at SIS per
ton to private consumers-a rate OF 40
cents per hundred weight. This pro-
never varies a cent among the three
companies. and no company ever un-
dersells another The Consumers Ice
Company maintains a price of SO per
tom and it is an admitted fact that rep
resentatves of the other companies
have sought to induce the Consumers
to get in the band wagon" and raise
the price to the same rate demanded
by the three rivals.
Conditions that prevail in some of
the larger cities do not exist in Des-
Moines from the fact that almost all
of the local consumption comes from
the city, whereas the larger cities pro-
cure ice from artificial plants. There
are two artificial ice plants in Des
Mones, both owned by the Des Moines
Ice Company The larger produces so
tons per day when working at full
capacity. The other produces 90 tons
per day, so that the total output of ar
tificial ice in Des Moines each day Is
so tons.

of every other county in the state, is
uninstructed as to temporary organ
liza lion. and the delegates will vote
their honest sentiments and for
square deal That is what hurts Hun
ter and Young and their fellow con-
spirators.
The fact has just been disclosed in
statements made by Attorney George
Wright, Blythes man at Council
Bluffs, and published in the railroad
organs of the state, that he is the man
who is virtually at the head OF the
movement TO have the republican state
committee take the initial steps re-
quired for excluding from the conveh-
ton about 25 per cent of the repubii-
cans who hold credentials as delegates
Attorney Wright is, a proxy member OIL

Chicago, is the nominal member from
the Ninth district. Sometimes he has
given his proxy to Ed Hunter and at

I'VE seem to be pretty we'll agreed as
to what our duties are in the prem
ises," and that when we get to the
convention the contests will come up
in regular order and will be disposed
of in the established way ''It would
seem from this that Mr.. Blythe
has already established way and de-
cided what is going to be done with
the fakes AS a matter of fact this
committee, organized and maintained
for the purpose of conducting the polit-
ical campaigns. has never taken sides
with any faction nor undertaken 10
issue credentials to delegates nor mas
assumed the right to pass upon the
credentials of the delegates, and has
never instructed temporary chairman
to recognize this or that person as a
republican or to deliver the vote of any
county. 1t is known here that the plan
of Wright is to have the state commits
tee undertake to decide the fakes and
to shut out of the convention any per-
sons who may be under condemnation
from Ed Hunter or Lafe Young. In
this way the convention would imme-
diately be split wide open and two con-
ventions would be assured from the
start AS this is the aim and the hope
