A GREAT DAY. in
BARBOUR COUNTY.
BLUE, ELKlNs AND sTURelss AT
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
WILL WIN.


PHTLIPPI, W. Va, oct. 29.-Phillp-
ri witnessed Saturday afternoon one
OF the largest and most enthusiastic
Republican meetings ever held here.
The opera house was packed with an
audience OF fully 400, made up Of
farmers from the country round, and
Of the people of the town, among
whom were many ladies, and consid-
cradle number Of Democrats.
The chairman Of the meeting was
W. H. Wentz, and among those pres
eut we're: Judge and Mrs, Dayton,
Dr. and Mrs. James P. Fitch, of Nor.
gantown, and Lindsay Peddicord and
+. t. Foster. Of Morgantown. Dr. and
Mrs. Fitch are spending a few days

of him Than they have vet heard He
is A fine speaker, and a sitaightfor'
ward Republican. AS soon as Mr..
sturgiss reached Randolph county,
Mr.. Blue Joined him, and they have
been campaigning together ever since.
Mr.. Blues speech here today in his
lone town was one OF the best ne
ever made. The occasion inspired him.
There is no question of his success,
full election, and this Senatorial dis
trict will never regret the choice.
Speech by EIkins.
Senator Elkins spoke one hour, fol-
lowing Mr. Blue. His address was
carefully prepared and was delivered
in a masterful way. 1t created the
best impression. He presented the
cardinal doctrines of the Republican
party and held the closest attention
of the audience from start to finish.
His arguments wcrc unanswerable,
and Of course no Democrat will try
answer them. His strong array OF
r;.cts, and the vlgor of his logic, were
IN marked contrast with the shrinking
and aimsy efforts of the few Demo-
Gratis who have tried to speak this
year in West Virginia.
Great Speech by stursiss.
Mr.. sturglss followed Senator FL
kins, and spoke for an hour and
quarter. Although. the meeting be-
gan promptly at one o'clock, and 1t
was three when Mr.. sturgiss began,
there was not one person left the op,
era house until he had uttered his
last. word, and the rounds of applause
had ceased. All pronounced the adj

them. Some Of the Democrats who
heard him spoke most fayorably Of
the speech and said a new light had
been thrown on the subject.
without doubt, Mr. sturgiss has
made many friends in Barbour county,
and he will receive the solid support
Of the Republican party, and his vote
will not stop there.
The Democrats here, or at least
many Of them, are much put out with
Judge Dents refusal to go on the
stump and speak for the party. Some
Of them plainly call it cowardice. They
contrast his conduct with that of Mr..
sturgiss, who is ready at all times to
defend his party ana to cary on an
aggressive campaign, while Judge
Dent never shows himself. When the
votes are counted there will be some
surprises in Barbour.
The Junior Meeting.
A meeting had been advertised for
Belington on Thursday night, but be-
cause the town is under quarantine,
the meeting was held at the town OF
Junior. This is a small place. but the
people got together from both sides
Of the river, to the number Of $50 or
more, and a rafting good meeting was
held. 1t will be remembered that at
the primary election In Barbour coun-
ty, Junior cast every vote for Stur
giss. This being the case, welcome
was expected from the people when
Mr.. sturgiss went there to speak. But
the demonstration in his favor exceed
cd expectation. 1t is expected that
every Republican at Junior will be at
the polls and will vote for sturgiss.
Mr.. Blue spoke also at Junior with
his usual good success.
Two Hours at 5eIlnston.
Although no meeting was held at
Belington, Mr.. sturgiss, Col. Frazer
and Mr.. Blue spent two hours there
on their way from Junior to PhiliDpt.
They met a large number Of the peo'
pie, and found the Republican cause
there in excellent condition.
They drove from Belington to Phil
ippi, twelve miles, over the pike. and
were guests for dinner at the home OF
Mr.. Blue.
Flying Trip East.
Saturday night they held a meeting
at Simpson, in Taylor county, nine
miles west of Grafton. From there
they made flying trip east to Jeffer-
son and Berkeley counties. Mr.. stur-
giss will speak twice in each county
Col. Frazer will take an active part
in the speaking in Berkeley county.
That is his native county. and he will
address his old friends and associates
on the issues of tht campaign.
Mrs. Frazer has not been with the
campaigning party since they came
west Of the mountains. She has been
visiting with the family of Daniel R.
Baker at Beverly, and is now enjoying
an outing with party of ladies and
gentlemen at Mr.. Bakers cattle range
at Valley Head, thirty miles south oil
Beverly, in the extreme southern part
of Randolph county.

TWO WHITE ELEPHANTS BORN
Burmese World stirred TO It's Depth
by Unusual Occurrences
Near RanKOOn.

BANGKOK, Sept. 15.-CSpecIal Cable
gram to The Bee.)-Reports from Rangoon
say that. the Burmese world has been
stirred by the birth of two white elephants
OF far from Chiengmai Siam will also be
thrilled.
One of the rarites was born in one OF
the herds of the governor of Lakawan: the
other in that OF a timber merchant, The
latter elephant was given to tiger to eat.

The advent of the governors white ele-
plant was heralded I'm the most approved
eastern manner. The governor dreamed
that innumerable statues Of Buddha
strolled about his room and sat on his
head. He also dreamed that he had to
carry the 30 tree, under which Gautama
attained to omniscience, as we'll as the
throne on which he sat.
Next morning the governor called hh
soothsayers together TO interpret his dream
and the old gentlemen were rubbing their
noses and looking UP at the ceiling for
explanations when some one walked in and
announced that a white elephant had been
born. The soothsayers were at once able
TO explain that the governors dream
meant that he was to be a person of glory
and power.
The white elephant, protected with a
white umbrella, was escorted into the town
with regal pomp. attended by several cem-
panies of elephants and horses, while a
band played and hundreds OF people
marched along. The elephantlne baby Is
described thusi His skin is OF a pale
straw eolori his hair is white like unto
silved needles; his palate and tongue are
quite red; his eyes resemble rubies of the
