No Papers on Body.

In the presence of Acting Chief Cutler,
Chief Deputy Coroner Kennedy and other
officials, a search of the clothing in which
the body was attired was made at the
morgue. So far as could be ascertained,
there were no papers in the pocket to
which any significance could be attached
and it was concluded that if Chief Buggy
had a written resignation prepared on the
occasion of his visit to Police Commits
sioner Hugo Keil at the latter's home in
Belvedere he had disposed of it in some
manner before ne met his death. Much
to the surprise of the searchers, a ham,
merless revolver. with all chambers load
ed, was found in a pocket. notwithstand-
ing the fact that the late chiefs pistol
was found after his death in a restaurant
where he had dinner on the night of his
death.
There was no mark of violence on the
body, but ar autopsy viii be held to as
sist. if possible. in clearing up the man
ner of death The inquest probably will
not be held until next week

Washington. Dec. Is. = President
Roosevelt today sent to the senate a
statement concerning the purchase of
the Panama canal property by the
United States, denounc.ng in strong
language charges that there was any
thing wrong in the acquisition by the
United States of the canal property.
.xhese stories he continues, were
first brought to my attention as pub
lished in a paper in Indianapolis called
the News, edited by Delavan Smith. The
stories We're scurrilouS and libelous in
character, and false in every essential
particular Mr.. Smith shelters himself
behind the excuse that he merely ac-
cepted the statements which had ap-
peared in a paper published in New
York, the World, owned by Joseph Pu-
liter 1t is idle to say that the known
character of Mr.. Pulitzer and his news
paper are such that the statements in
that paper will be believed by nobody;
unfortunately, thousands of persons are
i'll informed in this respect and believe
the statements they see printed. even
though they appear in a newspaper
published by Mr.. Pulitzer"

this boy determined to make his y
way and earn for himself the means
for securing a Liberal education. In
addition to attending the public
schools ne applied himself nights and
mornings to an independent course OF
study wish a view to preparing him
self to teach. This he did thoroughly
and, at the early age Of eighteen
years became a very successful school
teacher. So progressive and popular
was he as a teacher that in 1887 he
was elected county superintendent Of
free schools of Monongalia county
and reelected in 1899. This office is
one Of considerable importance in
that county owing % the fact that the
hlef educational institution Of the
state is located there. During his
term as superintendent OF schools he
was married % Mary Alice Miller. the
accomplished daughter of a neighbour
Ing village merchant. To this union
three children were born, one or

is still living. Mr.. GRasscock's con-
duct of the Office of count superin-
! tendent, and his larger acquaintance
with the people of he county, great
ly increased the public confidence in
him. Consequently when he offered
himself at the next election as can
didate for clerk Of the circuit court
he was overwhelmingly nominated
in the primary OF his party and af-
trewards overwhelmingly elected at
the general election. The performance
of his duties IN this ,ffice was so in

the end of his term he was reelected
for another term without opposition
in his own party.
During his service as clerk he
studied law and completed his course
at the state university. At the ex-
piration OF his teconI term as clerk
he began the practice of law. 1t was
no surprise to mis- friends to learn
that he succeeded from the start.

EASY TO MIX RECEIPT
Hundreds CT People in Vicinity Here
viii Welcome This Advice, Says
Local Druggist

What VIII appear very interesting
to many people here is the article
taken from a New York daily paper,
giving a simple prescription, which is
said to be a positive remedy for back
ache or kidney or bladder derange-
ment, IL taken before the stage f
Bright's disease.
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon. one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Shake we'll in a bottle and
take in ~teGsroonful doses after each
meal and again ut bedtime.
A well-known druggist here at home
when asked regarding this prescrip-
ton, stated that the ingredients are
all harmless and can be obtained at a
small cost from any good prescription
pharmacy, or the mixture would be
put up il asked to do so. He further
stated that while this prescription is
often prescribed in rheumatic Attic
tons with splendid results, he could
see no reason why it would not be a
splendid remedy for kidney and uri-
nary troubles and backache, as it has
a peculiar action Upon the kidney
structure, cleansing these mos impor-
tant organs and helping them to sift
and filter from the blood the foul
acids and waste matter which cause
sickness and suffering. Those of our
readers who suffer can make no mis-
take in giving it a trial. /
