ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The people of this vicinity say more
rain, more rest, " for it has rained ev-
cry day during the past week so that
the people can scarcely get any work
done at all.
VIM. H. Thomas was working few
days last week for Mr.. j. A. Fike, of
w. Va, helping to build lime kiln.
Mr.. Frank Bowser and son George
purchased horse one day last week for
the sum of 500, and returned the horse
a day or two later to the man they pur-
chased of for the sum of $95. That is
what l would call good bargain.
Mrs. Louisa Fike and Polly Barnt-
house were visiting Mr.. A. F. Fike one
day last week.
VIM. H. and w. L. Thomas and fami-
lies were callers at Mr.. Math as Frazee's
on Sunday last.
Our Sunday school at this place is
progressing very nicely so far this sea-
son. Although the school is small we
can do just as good work as if it were
larger.
Mary Vansickle, daughter of Charles
Vansickle, of Frazee Ridge, died May
5, 1907. The funeral was conducted by
Elder Joseph Guthrie, in the Asher
Glade church on May 6, and interment
was made in the L. C. Fike cemetery.
Mesdames Emma J. and Bertha
Thomas and the latter's daughter were
visiting at Mr.. James Frantz's one dav
last week.
A piece of road between Mr.. Matthias
Frazee's and Mr.. Flame Turney's is al
most impossible. The mud is axle deep
and unless something is done soon no
one can travel it at all and it is the
main road of this section for doctor,
store and mill.
Work in this section is plentiful as
every farmer during this wet weather
has more work than he can do, and
hands cannot be secured at any price.

SEVERE STORM IN MONTANA.
Loss of Live Stock Probably Will Be
Very Serious.

Billings, Mont, Feb. 4.-The sever
est storm which has visited Montana
within 20 years is raging over eastern
Montana. Snow is falling fast with
no immediate prospect of ceasing.
Men who have lived her for many
years say that conditions are worse
than at any time since 1886, when
sheep died by the thousand. On the
ranges in the east portion of the state
it is believed the results to stock will
be fearful. Thousands of sheep are
being driven to ranches near this
city to be fed. Train service is badly
demoralized.
Kansas City, Mo-, Feb 4.-The Sc
verest storm of the winter is raging
throughout Kansas and western Mis-
souri,, six inches of snow on the ground
and snow still falling, driven by Bit
ter wind. All trains are marked late
from as minutes to six hours. At eight
o'clock Sunday night the temperature
in Kansas City was two above zero.

NEW DOMINICAN TREATY.
Convention Signed by President Ca
ceres and Minister Dawson.

Washington, Feb. 5.-According to
the understanding of the state de-
partment, new treaty between San
to Domingo and the United States
was signed Monday at the Dominican
capital by President Caceres and
Minister Dawson. This convention is
intended to replace the Dominican
treaty pending before the United
States senate for two years, and it is
hoped by the officials that the text
can be received in Washington in sea-
son for action at the present session
of congress.
The new convention differs from
the original treaty in it's simplicity;
particularly in the substituting of
bonds delivered to the international
creditors of Dominica instead of re-
quiring them to await the periodic
payment of small installments of
their money from the customs re-
ceipts of the island

DRYDEN OUT OF THE RACE.
SENATOR FROM NEW JERSEY
WITHDRAWs HIS NAME.
Long Strain of Campaign for Rselec-
ton Has Made Him IlI-F. o.
Briggs May Succeed Him.

Washington, Feb. 4.-United States
Senator John E. Dryden of New Jer-
sey Sunday night authorized the an.
nouncement that he had withdrawn
his name as candidate for reelec-
ton to the United States senate.
This action was taken on the advice
of the senator's physicians, who
warned him of the danger to his
health if he persisted in attending the
public meeting arranged at his re-
quest to be held in Trenton to-day.
1t was Senator Dryden's intention to
address the Republican members of
the legislature and set forth the rea.
sons, in his opinion, why he should
be reelected to the senate.
Following the senator's decision to
withdraw his name, his physicians,
Drs. Edward ]. Ill and Charles L. Ill,
sent the following telegram to the
Republican leaders in the New Jersey
senate and house of assembly:
1.-The condition of Senator ]. F.
Dryden's health is such, on account
of the long and severe strain under
which he has been, that. we, his ply
sicians, have advised him that it is
of imperative Importance that he
should not attend the proposed con-
ference at Trenton on Monday"
Senator Dryden said he had hoped
at this meeting to be able to convince
the eight Republicans who refused to
be bound by the action of the party
caucus that their opposition to him
is based upon mistaken grounds.
In explaining the senator's with
drawal from the senatorial race his
private secretary made the following
statement:
Senator Dryden concluded that a
continuance of the deadlock would
tend to injure the party and the state.
Accordingly he formally announced
his intention to withdraw Senator
Dryden is not dangerously ILL., His
condition is such, however, that his
physicians and family consider it of
vital importance that he should be re-
lieved at once of any further strain
upon his strength and that complete
rest from all cares is absolutely nee
essary."
The indications point to State Sena-
tor Frank o. Briggs as Mr.. Dryden's
successor. Mr.. Briggs has authorized
the statement that he is candidate
and it is said that he has received as
surances of the support of a majority
of the Republican members of the
legislature.
