Clay County Court Hou.e.


 In recent issue of The Advertiser haf saPs senator Wsr eg Smith ha filed with the Governor. petition signed by more than HOO persons. ask ing for an election to determine wheth- moved from Ashland to Lineviile or not. This article has a tendency to inJure the town of Ashland. and the County of Clay as we'll, I therefore pressions that were probably made by said article. In the first place, there are In round numbers about 3,500. quail many as 1000 of these have become disqualified by reason of failure to pay their poll taxes, and otherwise, there electors--as a matter of fact there are more than this last number. So 1t Is readily seen that the petition Is not signed by. a majority of the qualified called. There were in this county over 1000 voters over the age of forty-five registered in 1902, and as there were a.z1S polls paid last ysarSoby 1'?5S diff, election will be called. Furthermore many of the names on the petition are duplicated, many are not qualified vot- names all told appear thereon; of theso only about 300 are qualified electors certainly less than. 1000. Many of the clllZenS or lsln6VlIl6 protest aSdiHSL the filing of this petition. and have so expressed themselves publicly, Ex- Probate Judge s: J. Gay, of Linevilie, has written the Governor, stating that the petition does not contain half tho names of the qualified voters of Clay, and that the majority of citizens Ot LinevilIe kne wnothing of the filing of said petition. and he asked the Gov ernor not to consider the. petition.
 Again the petition was got by stat ing to the people that 1t was a peti. this County. asking said court to re- scind its action in ordering a new court house built. and a slip was at- tached to allso or nearly all of said pe- titions stating that the petition would first be presented to said court, and In case of It's refusal to rescind its ac- tion, the petition would be filed with the Governor By this means many people were induced to sign the pe- done so. Indeed, many say they did not know that the petition was for the purpose of asking for an election.
 It Is a fact that the A. B. and A. R. R. Is being built by Lineville, but 1t is fact that Ashland has railroad now, operated by the same people; and the town Is the largest in the county and is growing more rapidly than any town in the county. There is no doubt that a large majority of our people want the court house to remain at Ashland; and there is no doubt that 1t will re- main here. Work on the foundation. of the new court house here Is being pushed as rapidly as possible

The Charleston Post thinks if Mr. bouncer Barnes is confirmed as post
 master at Washington Mrs. Morris will hardly dare to apply in person for her mail. Oh. well. let us hope that Barnes will put a gentleman at the delivery window, for it seems pretty certain that his appointment will be confirmed. as it is also certain that there will be no investigation of the Morris incident.

 It is with a good deal of satisfaction that Representative Nicholas Longworth noted the nomination of Capt. Rich mond Pearson Hobson to succeed MT. Bankhead in Congress.
 When Mir Hobson gets here Long worth will not be the only man the citizens from the back country will ask to have pointed out to them. Long worth believes Hobson will divide the public attention,
 IL would not bother Longworth bit if other districts should take notion to send their heroes to Washington as Congressmen.
 Coming to Congress will be a severe task upon Hobson. He is reformer. He wants to reform the attitude of Congress toward the navy. He wants to show Congress. That's bad. Con gress doesn't like to be shown. IL is well satisfied with itself, Therefore, when Hobson gets here he will prob ably be made to realize that there's d heap of difference between platform speaking and the oratory that Congress will stand for by following the advice of the orator.

WILLIAM H. HENLEY

A wide circle of William H. Henley's
friends in Brattleboro were shocked and
grieved to learn of his sudden death at
Lake Sunapee Wednesday afternoon. The
day was the occasion of the annual re-
gatta at that favorite resort, and Mr.. Hen
lev and his son, Percy, were participants
in the event. They were using their own
gasoline launch which Mr.. Henley put
upon the lake last year The sport was
exciting The Henley boat was well in
the lead, with Mr.. Henley sitting in the
bow to steer and Percy driving the en-
CINE. They were nearing the stake and
Percy had Just called to his father to look
out not to hit the mark in rounding it.
Mr. Henley answered that he would not
do So The boat rounded the stake and
Just after it had done so Mr.. Henley sud-
denly fell over to the bottom of the boat.
where, it happened, there was a physi-
clan in the large company of spectators.
When the doctor examined Mr.. Henley
his heart was just ceasing to beat and he
was beyond medical aid The cause of
death was a stroke of apoplexy. The
body was taken in the boat down to the
Henley landing where many sympathiz-
ing friends rendered every assistance pos
sible. 1t was a comfort to all that Mrs.
Henley's two sisters were with her to
minister to her in this overwhelming
blow.
Mr.. Henley was born in St Johns,
New Brunswick, May 70, 1860. He was
the son Of Christie Henley and was of
Dutch descent. The family moved to
Boston in Mr. Henley's childhood and
he grew up in that city and was educated
in the public schools. AS a boy he en-

This seems to be the season Of the
year when the fool killer is taking a
rest" said the Northwest Washington
man to a Star reporter the other after
noon. "Oh, yes, its mushrooms again. /

Of whom were laid out cold and clammy

stools, but all Of whom recovered. Now,

am perfectly willing to leave mushroom
picking to people who know more about
It than 1 do.
1.-THE case refer to was an otherwise
very estimable man, plenty old enough
to know better, who went out and got
| a basketful Of toadstools from one OF
the public parks. They were growing
under the trees. which ought to have
been warning enough for him, and they
did not look any more like edible mush
rooms than they looked like traction en-
gines. But he took them home, had
them cooked and within two hours after
he and the rest Of his family had eaten
them they were all six stretched out just
about dead, and a neighbor was tele-
| phoning for the doctor. It took heroic
measures to bring them around, but they
did recover after the closest call imeg-
| Unable.
NOW, 1t is this way. If people want to
| flirt with the grim destroyer by picking
| their own mushrooms the department Of
agriculture has a number OF publications
| with colored plates that show the most
| of the poisonous and the harmless ones,
and reduce the chances OF death from
that sort Of recreation to the minimum.
You can poke all the fun you want to at
| the department over leaks OF one sort
and another, but they are pretty well up
on mushrooms, and they are willing to
distribute that sort OF information
! without charging advance news prices on
1t. At the same time, IL you are an am
ateur, you run fair amount OF risk
picking your own mushrooms even II you
have manual Of botany along with you.

jump OF the Long bridge or look down a
gun while 1t is going on but when

some one who knows what to pick. 1t Is
early in the season, and this is the first
case of mushroom poisoning that have
run across in Washington, but / suppose
there win be a lot more as the summer
wanes, and II there are any more re-
coveries It will confirm me in the belief
that the fool killer is on a vacation
