BRYAN DID NOT VISIT COL. McGRAW
Change Of Plans of the Commons"
Disappointment to Garrett
COuntianS.

A telegram from New York under
date of last Saturday said: William
Jennings Bryan will not be the guest of
Colonel John T. McGraw at Deer Park
next Sunday, nor will he be heard in
Wheeling next week. 1t isIpossible,
however, that the commoner will tour
West Virginia later in the fail. Tonight
after his return from Connecticut Mr..
BRYAN was waited upon by delegation
from Nebraska, which is holding a
special train to take him back home,
and was told that owing to the enor-
nous expense of maintaining the train
it would be impossible to hold it at Chi
cago to await Mr.. Bryan there until af-
ter his stay in Maryland and West Vir-
ginia. Mr.. Bryan Immediately laid the
facts before Colonel McGraw, stating
that should the colonel insist upon the
engagement being kept, he would send
his home folks to Nebraska without him,
but that he preferred to go west on
Sunday and come to West Virginia
later. Although his guests had been
invited for dinner on Sunday, Colonel
McGraw, realizing Mr.. Bryan's posi-
ton, accepted the suggestion to post
pone the visit until later. The turn of
affairs tonight was a real disappoint-
ment to the two hundred mountaineers
who are waiting here to escort the next
President to Deer Park Especially dis
appointed are the Wheelingites, for
Mr.. Bryan was to have spoken there on
Monday.

OAKLAND BOY BECOMES AERONAUT
Joe Litzinger Made Successful As
tension at Elkins Last Week.

We following was taken from last
Saturdays Grafton Sentinel and shows
to what heights Oakland boys may climb
if they embrace the opportunities offer
ed them. The Young man referred to
in the article is the son of Mr.. James
M. Litzinger, former editor of the
Mountain Democrat:
That Professor Palmer isn't Graf
tons only baloonist was convincingly
illustrated yesterday afternoon at the
Elkins fair, when. Mr. Jos. Litzinger,
son of Editor Jas. NJ. Litzinger of the
Grafton Leader, took Professor Pail
mer's place in the airship, sailed to an
elevation of between two housand-five-
hundred and three thousand feet, and
then, like man old at the business,
cut loose his parachute and calmly sail
ed back to earth again. 1t will be re-
membered that when Prof. Palmer gave
an exhibition ascension here some time
ago, and in alighting from the para
chute jump, he received a sprained an
kle. Little was thought of it at the
time, but the bruise has given him con-
siderable trouble; in fact enough to
keep him from making ascensions and
parachute leaps. He had several con-
tracts for ascensions at county fairs.
among them being the Elkins fair, and
as the Professor does not believe in dis
appointing. and Notwithstanding his
sprained ankle, he took his balloon to
Elkin expecting to make the ascensions
as contracted for A substitute offered
for the first day however, but who
proved to be too numbed with the FL
kins brand of ice water to cut himself
loose from the balloon, 50 the whole
thing came down together, alighting on
a fence. Of course Prof. Palmer re-
fused the further aid Of his substitute.
Yesterday Joe Litzinger offered to
make the ascension, and did so very
successfully indeed, as noted above.
Joe says he didn mind in q bit, in fact
he enjoyed the novel sensation Of float
ing upward and Of cutting loose the
parachute and dropping back to earth
again. The drop Of a couple hundred
feet when the parachute first leaves
the balloon and before it opens properly
took his breath for a moment or so but
after that the leap was enjoyed by the
4 Rtuer thoroughly. Joe came home
~ morning and says that couple Of
other Grafton boys are fighting over
who is to make the ascension today"

EXTREMES IN MOCERN COSTUME.
Woman's Dress Extravagant and Inn
modest Says Writer.

1t has gone beyond extravaganza in
women's clothes. 1t has come into de-
bauchery. The dress habit is running
more homes now than the drink habit.
Ten minutes in fashionable dressmak-
er's establishment today costs the hus-
band more money than ten nights in
barroOm did decade ago. There are
hundreds of women in New York who
spendimore than SIC, 900 a year on dress.
The woman who might have dared to
walk upper Broadway of a summers
afternoon, ten years ago, wearing a 1906
waist so thin and transparent that a
lace curtain would be Opaque beside it,
would have excited the scorn and dis
gust of her sex. Today she vies with
her sister as to who shall be the most
expert in the art of frightening the eff
feet of exposure by shadow of con-
cealment. N. Y. Press.

Sunday Excursion and Liquor Adver-
Using.

To the Editor OF The Republican.
DEAR SIR: Several weeks ago you
asked the ministers of this town ques-
ton relative to advertising Sunday ex-
cursions and liquor. This question be-
lieve to be put in good faith, and in
that spirit, viii endeavor to answer it.
As an evangelical believer | can only
have one standard of measurement, or
rule of conduct. This is found in the
Scriptures, which is our final court Of
appeal.
In the book Of Genesis, Goth chapter,
Sth to 1lth verses, we find Gods own
words relative to the Sabbath: RE
member the Sabbath day, to keep it
holy"
Also in Isaiah seth chapter verses ,
and 8, We find a special blessing for
those who do not pollute the Sabbath.
Again in Luke 4th chapter and 18th
verse we find what the custom of Jesus
was on the Sabbath.
Sabbath Dissertation is rebellion
against law and order, in the highest
sense, and no chrirtian can aid in any
way in breaking the law Of God, and
be guiltess. France set aside the
Lords Day completely, ignored its
claims or purpose, but has now seen her
folly, and for her own safety has been
compelled to acknowledge Gods law
superior This should be a lesson to
America.
As to the liquor question. | believe
a perfect description of this business is
found in Isaiah 2Sth chapter and 18th
verse. Throughout the scriptures
strong drink is associated with lawless-
ness and depravity. The name of the
drunkard is found on the list of those
who shall never enter the kingdom of
Heaven. Galatians 9Th chapter, verse
81.
The best secular magazines of our
country do not take liquor advertise
ments, viz: THE Ladies Home Journal"
and THE Youths Companion. These
papers are leaders in circulation, and
are read by the best people in the land.
These papers have shown to the world
that they can live and prosper without
liquor money.
The states that have put liquor under
the ban are the most moral and pros
porous in the land.
Kansas is boasting that out of her one
hundred and five counties, eighty-five
have not single officially reported pau
per and twenty-five Of these counties
have no almshouses and thirty-tive are
without criminal case on the docket.
How does this compare with our liquor
license states?
DR.. Thomas Green says that we are
standing at the dividing Of the ways,
and if we do not throttle THE liquor
question it will soon throttle US.
How then can christian aid in any
way this evil that has both the curse of
God and man uponiti

Letter to II. Creutzberg.
Oakland.

Dear Sir: If you could get the ex-
elusive sale of sweeter sugar for five
miles round-3lb as sweet as pound of
usual sugar and cost no more you'd
jump at it, wouldn't you?
There wouldn't be 100 lbs of anv other
sugar sold in year in your town; you'd
gobble the trade; and it wouldn't hurt
your whole business.
Devoe is like that among paints; it is
twice as sweet as some; it is sweeter
than any; not one exception; one gallon
is two or one-and-a-half or one-and-
three-quarters.
Better than that; paint has to be
painted; that costs 50 to 81 a gallon.
A gallon saved is 81 to 81 saved in la
Dor, besides the paint.
Even that isn't all A gallon Devoe
put-on wears as long as two gallons put
on at cost of 81 to 81 a gallon and two
gallons more put on at 81 to $4 a gallon.
Count all that The paint that wears
double costs less by gallons of pairt
and 8 gallons of painting; that's about
SIS gallon for those superfuous gal
Ions
That's as good as double-sweet
sugar, isn'tit?
Yours truly.
