cd that, though the body was in Il
fair state of preservation, duo doubt
less to the cold weather, death had
evidently resulted six or moro weeks
before tho finding of the remains.
Tho first theory that the body must

recently as three days ago, has also
been pretty effcctually exploded.
The conclusion most generally nc,

victim of exposure. What he must
have suffered was indicated by tho
empty stomach, which showed thar
he had eaten nothing for at least
forty hours before death ended his

error.
The newspapers demand that some
one be made to answer for this ri
diculous mistake which has kept tho
nation on the tiptoe of needless en-
citcment and cntailed many .prema.

the fact that no fewer than twenty
bishops have arrived at Madrid
within the last ten days in order to
be in readiness for tho birth of the
heir to the throne of Spain.
Queen Victoria drove out this
morning as usual but she complained
of slight illness on returning and
remained in the palace for the rest

HALL FOR AUDITOR.
Ohio County Man Announces His
Candidacy For Office.

Wheeling, w. Va, September %
A ripple of genuine interest disturb
ed the political sea in this part of the
state when James K. Hall, postmaster
OF Wheeling, and one OF the most
prominent OF West Virginia republican
leaders, formally and positively an
nounced his candidacy for state aud
itor.
For several weeks it has been
known among Mr. Halls more init
mate political friends that strong
pressure waa being brought to bear
upon Mr. Hall in an effort to have
him enter the race. Quite recently
he decided to become a candidate, and
when seen in the lobby of the Nc
Clure acknowledged that he had de-
cided to enter the race for auditor,
and authorized a public announcement
to that effect.
The entrance of Mr.. Hall into lie
race for the republican nomination
for auditor is one of the most impor-
tant political happenings since the an
nouncement of Mr. Scherr's candidacy
for the governorship. Other aspirants
for the auditor desk will readily
recognize that they will find in Mr..
Hall a master mind and a master hand
in the game of politics. He possess.
es an unusual degree of shrewdness.
This quality backed by an unrivaled
knowledge of the peope of the state
and great personal popularity will
render his candidacy formidable from
the beginning.
