He spoke briefly on national and

paid his respects TO the COUNT

numerous instances OF mfsfcasance

Parkersburg. w. Va, Oct q
Never before in the history OF the
nation have the people Of a sover-
eign state been treated to a poht-
scal spectacle so extraordinary as
that which Is now being afforder the
people Of West Virginia. The West
Virginia machine is N trouble. And
the sources from which Is IL abe
to command aid in the hour of a
well merited and imminent calam-
.ty. illustrates forcefully the fact
that the West Virginia machine
dominated by the states Million
aire United States senators, Is in
close touch with the powers which
govern the affairs of the national
Republican party. and that the state
leaders are in mortal fear OF losing
the electoral vote of West Virgin a
as we'll as the state and leg .sla.ive
tickets.
ElkIns' plan for political saliva
ton lies in diverting attention from
che Ills which beset the masses OF
the party in their own state by hay-
ing the gloIces OF Republicanism
sung in their ears by such dazzling
emmissaries as Hughe, Taft and
Burrows. all OF whom have been
booked for early appearances on
the stump in West Virginia. Hughes
has already come and gone. The
results OF HIS visit were sadly dis
appointing To the state leaders, but
in their desperation tney attempt to
magnify the importance of the
Hughes meGtings, and TO this end
the machine newspapers have her
aided HIS coming, magnificd his
presence and marked his going with
all the glare and fervency OF devo-
ted fanaticism. But not so the peo-
pie. The crowds were slim, cool
and unresponslve. Glasscock, Scott
Sturgiss. Hubbard and Darst were
in the party. but the enthusiasm
would not come. They hope how
ever, by resorhng to exaggerated
newspaper reports to deceive the
people in other sections OF the state
and lend -he appearance that peace
reigns and that Elkins is forgiven.
Money may mollify a few OF the
leaders in the revolt against Elkins'
tyrannucal methods, but II cannot
pacify all OF the leaders. nor can
a touch any OF the honest yeoman-
ry OF the party who have deter
mined to rid themselves at once
and forever OF the shameful doml-
nation OF a man who, with no 9th
er argument than money in the be-
ginning, has built up an all power
full and arrogant political despofism
whose chief instrument is the office
holders dynasty which is being per-
petuated year after year at the ex-
penSe of the the state institutions.

FOUND DEAD IN HER CHAIR.
Woman of 80 Had Only a Parrot and
a Hen for Companions.

New York, Feb. 27.-When neighbors
found Mrs. Johanna Stelter so years
old, dead in her apartments In Will
iamsburg yesterday, they also found
bank books representing deposits OF
more than $4,000 and evidence that the
aged woman had been thoughtful to the
last of her two pets, green parrot
and a white hen. Physicians said that
Mrs. Stelter must have been dead since
Sunday. Alive and subsisting well on
articles of food placed in dishes in var
ious places about the apartments. suf-
ficient in quantity to keep them hearty
and happy for a month, were the two
feathered pets.
1t was surmised that Mrs. Stelter,
whose only companions in life were
her feathered pets, when she realized
that the end was approaching had OBJ
tanned sufficient food to keep her pets
alive and had then sat down in a
chair and died, supposedly natural
death. 1t was afterwards learned that
Mrs. Stelter is survived by two neph-
ews in Boston and a son and daughter
in Kansas City.

BACK TO NORMAL.
Business in New York Is Nearly on
Ante-Panic Basis.

New York, Feb. Pin view of the
recent presence in this city of nearly
1000 retail buyers and the expected
arrival of another delegation no less
numerous, optimism seems to be the
ruling note in the wholesale district
Opinion is freely expressed by pro-
prietors and managers of large houses
that the prosperity of the country is
fast returning to its old level and that
the retail merchants of the large cities
and towns of the country need only a
little more confidence to induce them
to place their orders on the scale
prevalent just before the panic.
Merchants are practically agreed
that their business is returning to it's
old standard more quickly than they
had anticipated, indications pointing
many of them think, to a spring trade
not far from normal, with prospects
of complete restoration to ante-panic
conditions before many months.
