tits to be hoped that the movement
TO combine several of the Tidewatef

ceed. We have too many counties
in Virginia. The separate organiza-
tons make unnecessary burdens on
the people. Probably twenty coun-
ties now existing could be combined
in three or four 10 the general ad-
vantage. This would mean paying
three or four sheriffs. common

alive, Gako sayo Zee, the Benwood
Russian who stabbed to death Domin.
lex Molefski during brawl at the
German Village saloon at Benwood, as
in avery respondent condition at the
Marshall county jail at Moundsvilit.
Friends have expressed the fear thar
he may not live to serve his indeter.
inmate sentence of rom to 5: years
In the penitentiary. He is worrying
lest evil befall his family in far.away
Russia during his confinement.
Since the fear that he was to Sc
hanged for killing Molefski has been
dissipated by Judge Hervey's sent.
ence, Zee has been worrying about his
family. To the ja!ler and what few
friends visit him, he has told a touch.
ing story Of how he is plnlng for his
young wife and two children in the old
country.
he SAID a rev days ago mat he does
not think he will live to see the day
on which he Is to be liberated. Dur.
ing the meantime. while he is confined
at the pen, his family. he said, will be
left In destitute circumstances.
Previous to his committing the rash
act that has put him into such di.
lemma, 5ec had been planning to re.
turn to Russia for his wife and fam.
lily. He intended to bring them over
to America. He had been working as.
siduously to save up enough money to
provide for them home here.
Another thing that hurts Zee a great
deal is the fact that he is now being
neglected by nearly all his former
friends. Since the day he was first
put in jail, on Sunday, January 10.
the day after the killing. less than a
dozen persons have visited him In his
lonely cell. Some, unexplained rea.
son keeps them away.

The Exposition
INDIGNATION OVER THE SEIZED
uLE OF RATES.

RICHMOND. Va, March 13.-Indig
nation in commercial and general cir.
cles does not abate in the matter OF
the schedule of Exposition rates from
Richmond to Norfolk. The nearly
unanimous opinion is that the G. 6 O.
has taken advantage of circumstances
to enforce a stand and deliver" poll
cy.
President George w. Stevens of the
c. & O.. in the course of an inter.
view said: !'If the Sunday excursion
business is continued the rates will be
made reasonable" The impression ere.
ated by this language is that the order,
made public Saturday, and which has
caused such unanimous protest, may
be modified in some slight degree. A
cheap rate to Norfolk on Sunday only,
however, would be of little advantage
to persons who might want to visit
the Exposition, since it has been an.
nounced by the jamestown officials
that the gates will be closed on Sun.
days.
President R. S. Christian, of the
Chamber of Commerce, declined today
To discuss the c. & o. rate schedule.
He intlmated that the executive board
would take up the matter. T. A. Mill
er, president OF. the Retail Merchants
Association, said his body would in
all probability pass formal resolutions
OF protest and would cooperate In
any concerted movement to bring
about more equitable schedule. The
Travellers Protective Association,
which is strong here, will probably
act.
1t is realized that the Pennsylvania
controls all linIs of transportation
between here and Norfolk. and the
best opinion is that the rates will
stand-certainly for the first several
months OF the Exposition.

DR.. Pierce's All Healing Salve is
cleansing and pain relieving. 1t de-
stroys the bad odors arising from sup

them in the best possible condition for

The wAll-Healing Salve "is a superior

unsurpassed.

In treating all open sores, or ulcers,
boils, carbuncles and other swellings, it
is important that DIR. Pierce's Golden
bed1cal discovery be taken persistently
to purify the blood and thereby remove
the cause of the trouble. 1t is in the
blood that the great battle OF health has
to be fought. The ulcer and the sore
are simply the scarlet flowers of disease,
with roots running down into the blood !.
These roots must be eradicated or the
disease will break out afresh. rGolden
