If Adolphus Busch had not seen
the horror and devastation of the
disaster at San Francisco his CON
tribution OF 100000 TO the relief

been no less For while a man Of a
sensitive and sympathetic tempera-
ment, upon which such picture of
ruin and death would make a lasting
impression, the sense of proper
ton which belongs to him as a bust

the other side of the world. have
told him that here was colossal
calamity and one calling for gen
crosby passing any ever shown on n
like occasion. Not only in st. Louis.

NOT OUT OF PLACE.

We do think it out of place TO
briefly tell our patrons and friends
about the future prospects OF the
Daily Leader. The people general
~ all through this section have
shown that they were Interested in
it's success and we just wish to in
form them as to what we are doing.
The paper has now been published
Just one month and its prospects are
really bright. or course the half has
not been done that will be accom-
plshed in the near future. but yet
enough has been done TO convince the
management that there cen be no
doubt as TO the future success OF the
enterprise. The people have taken
hold OF the paper to such an extent
that Il assures its continued publica-
ton and makes IL permanent fix
ture. Our job department has in
creased rapidly and our presses are
going night and day We are regu-
lating the different departments and
our business is becoming more sys-
tematized as we progress.
Our papers sell we'll on the streets
which is another indication that we
are growing in public favor.
From every standpoint the out
look is propitious and we hope soon
TO add new features which will add
in every way to the value of the pa
per Our telegraphic service alone
should add greatly to our circulation
when il is found out that our news
is fresh from the wires All along
the lines there will be improvements
AS fast as we can make them Our
subscription list is growing at the
rate OF from % TO 80 day and soon
we hope TO have the largest circula-
ton of any newspaper ever published
in the city of Bluefield We are
adding another floor to our room
space which will greatly add to our
facilities for doing work, and alto
gether. we wish to assure our friends
that we are making a good showing
all along the line OF on business

Col0nists Rates.

The West is advancing with such
rapid strides that it is now pre-
dicted that some of our Pacific
States will have a greater popula-
ton than a great many Of our At
lantic Coast States, an that too in
a very short time. It is surely true
that people are looking toward the
West and a great many are not only
looking but are going there as fast
as possible.
The Rock Island Lines are now
preparing to take care of the large
movement this fall, and it has
placed in effect very low one-way
colonist rates to California, Arizona,
Oregon, Washington, British Col
umbia, Idaho, Montana and Utah.
These low rate tickets will be on
sale Aug. 81 to October 31st inclu-
sive. If you are going West I would
like to have you call on nearest
Rock Island agent or write to me
for full information, as we desire
to take care of you in good shape.

S. B. Bedford is up in Murray
county this week getting better &C
ouainted with the voters OF that

election the leading politicians OF
that county were opposed to Mr..
Bedford's nomination and worked
for his defeat, but az soon az the
election was over and it was known
that he received the nomination
pledges of earneest support oom-
menced to come IN from those who
had opposed his nomination and
now all of the leading men and pol
iticians of that county are working
for his election They are good re-
publicans over in that county and
believe in supporting the nominees
OF their party. That Mr.. Bedford
will be elected tt ere is no doubt
Murray will give him big major
ity and in his home county bis ma
jority will be much larger than at

fire and soon the table and all on it
was in fierce blaze as we'll as a

Some water was thrown on but it did
no good. Then quilts from the bed
were thought of and the fire was
smothered enough to carry the table
out doors and the chair as we'll. No
great harm was done and no one hurt
except few bruises and burns. Ar.

posely caused the freight blockade in
order that canal supplies destined for
Panama might be shipped to San Fran
cisco over the Southern Pacific and
transported thence to the Isthmus by
the Pacific Mail. 1t has been said that nos

its interests merely to assist the canal
