State Convention
REPUBLICANS WILL PROBABLY
ASSEMBLE AT PARkERs-
BURG JULY 8.

The Republican State convention to
select a candidate for governor, will
meet in Parkersburg on Wednesday,
July s. according to a political letter
in the Pittsburg Gazette-Times by
John Wallace, who has been close
observer of state affairs for years. The
Republican State committee meets in
Parkersburg Friday to select date
for the convention, which according to
the communication of Mr.. Wallace,
has already been decided on.
Among the politicians who will at
tend the State committee meeting Fri
day is Hon. w. H. Hearne, who will
go down with a party Of friends in the
interests Of his candidacy for the
gubernatorial nomination. Beside Mr..
Hearne and his party a number Of
other local Republican brethren will
holp to swell the cohorts OF the faith
full and the Wheeling delegation will
be big one.
1t is understood that an effort will
be made to reduce the representation
from one delegate for every 100 Re-
publican votes to one for every 200,
conventions on the present basis be-
ing considered far too unwieldly.
The committee will also probably set
the date in April for the state conven-
tion, which will name the four dele
gates at large which West Virginia
will send to the Republican national
convention in Chicago.

Young Man Kills
His Mother
MOST HORRIBLE CRIME COMMIT
TED BY OHIO YOUTH WHO
CONFESSED.

TOLEDO, Ohio. Jan. 13.-while
kneelIng on the floor of the kitchen
helping his mother repair a screen,
Harvey Hazel, 16 years old, deliberate
ly beat out her brains Saturday and
tore all the clothing from her body In
a vain search for the money, which
he finally found in an upstairs room.
Harvey explained to detectives later
that he wanted the money to buy n
present for his girl, who was sore
because she had not been given a
Christmas present. The mother refus-
ed to give her son the money. He con-
tinued teasing her for It while they
were both kneeling on the floor. she
painting the screen and he mailing It
together.
While her ack was turned and i'm
mediately following an emphatic re.
fused to give him money, Hazel struck
his mother on the back OF the head
with sufficient force to kill her. Then
he followed up literally pounding her
head into pulp. This done, he tore
all the clothes from her body, hunting
for money. Finally he went up stairs
and found s57, He then tried to make
the house appear as though it had
been burglarized.
This was at noon or shortly after.
Without showing the least concern he
spent the afternoon with some boy
friends at the theater and in the even.
ing he went to his girls house, where
he was arrested about midnight. He
confessed to the deed some hours aft
|erward. The murder was discovered
by The father, who returned home and
found the body Of his wife literally
swimming IN blood.

COUNTY HEALTH OFFICER RUNS
DOWN A MALICIOUS
STORY,

County Health officer. w. G. Par.
ker. heard some startling reports on
Saturday as to conditions along the
West Fork river in the neighborhooi
of the Monongah mines No. 6 and 8,
where the recent explosion occurred.
1t was reported that there was blood
on the water and that fragments of
men and beasts could be seen all
around. The visit by Mr.. Parker
proved all these things false. The
"bIood" turned out to be water col
ored from some bricks lying at the
rivers edge. There was no evidenced
OF anything irregular" or "unhealthy'
that Mr.. Parker could find anywhere.

the Democratic Nomination for gov

Although the weather was bad,
about two thirds normal vote was
cast. Barbour gave about 100 for
Post: Randolph gave him 800, and
Pendleton $50. while Upshur slumps
badly on her usual large Republican
majority and only gave Brown $50.
The tax question cut figure in the

In Upshur the soreness arising from

WANT FAIRMONT
TO BUILD BRIDGE
SOME TAX PAYERS SEEM UNDER
MIsAPPREHENsIoN AS TO
QUESTION.

A few Lincoln district citizens have
come to the conclusion that the city
OF Fairmont ought to build its own
bridges and have commenced agitat-
ing that question. They do seem
to realize that Fairmont pays very
large share of the taxes of the coun-
ty. for all county purposes, about one
fifth of the entire amount and that if
each incorporated town had to build its
own bridges there would be big ex-
pense account thereon.
The total taxes levied in the coun-
ty in 1906 amounted to sSOO,S91, of
which the city of FairmOnt paid $780,

OHIO'S CHOICE
FOR PRESIDENT
is WIN. \. TAFT
That Fact Is
Becoming Plain


COLUMBUS. Ohio, Jan. 13.-De.
yelopments in the Taft-Foraker con
test for the Ohio delegation during
the past week have shown very con-
clusively that the secretary has forged
ahead Of the Senator to great de-
gree, and the indications now are that
following the example set by some of
the counties in the State the others
will give Taft the majority over For.
aker that he SO much desires.
In counties and cities where the
fight has been waged during the past
week, Taft has won out in number
of places in the northeastern part of
the state, and it is expected this will
continue as fast as the other counties
get down to the business. Dick has
been at Cleveland for good portion
of the past week, strengthening the
Foraker forces there, and the effect
OF his work is very plain to see in the
reports that have been received from
there. At the meeting of the Foraker
followers held Saturday they took the
opportunity to go after the organiza-
ton known as the regular" commit
tee. and they selected committee to
take its place.
Up to Forakerftes.
Taking the bull by the horns. the
regular committee put the matter
suuarely up to the Foraker people by
filing a call with the county board OF
elections for the primaries. The
Roosevelt committee did the same
thing, and probably the Foraker COM
mittee will follow suit by the first of
the week. It was expected there
might be some trouble at the Foraker
meeting Saturday because of the ru-
NOR that the Taft element would pack
the convention, and there was a large
number of policemen stationed about
the hall, but 1t is reported the meet.
ing was one that could have given
points on department to a Sunday
school convention.
There has been some interesting
happenings for the Taft element in
the northeastern part of the State
along the river. At steubenvilIe the
Republican county committee set Feb
ruary II as the date for holding the
primaries in Jefferson county, and in
addition to this they passed resolu-
tion endorsing Mr.. Taft, the resolu-
tion going through with only Ave dis
senting votes.
Taft is Endorsed.
From Youngstown comes the news
that at the meeting Of the county Re
publican committee held there Sat
urday afternoon Taft was unanimous
ly endorsed for the Presidency, and
the chairman of the meeting was in
structed to name a committee to Sc.
lect delegates to the state convention
who are to be pledged to the sup
port of the big secretary. At st.

Assistant Tax Commissioner j. s.
Darst, who has been in the city for

has been seeing great many people
in an official way during his visit here.
Incidentally he is making friends in
his race for Auditor, which he says is
progressing nicely.

they are making fight that would
work badly on other places should it
be turned on them some time.

The Circus.

The VanAmburg circus arrived "a
Fort Pierce early last Friday morning
aud gave two performances to two
very good audiences. From the Jirae
the unloading started until the circus
was over they were the center Of ot-
traction and not only the small boys,
but the grown ones were interested in
the busy scene of getting a show ready
for the performance This was probab-
ly the largest circus that has ever
visited this section aud their collection
of animals in the menagerie tent at
tracted considerable attention. The
acts 10 the ring were all Of a high class
and included bareback riding, trapeze
and ladder performers, acrobats, con-
tortionists, jugglers, wire walkers, etc,
The baby Japs probably were the IA
vorltes.
Had all the show been up to the
standard set by the performers in the
big tent the company would have left
here with a good name, but on the con.
trary they were sadly deficient ia
praise. The side show, or annex, be-
sides containing the usual number OF
freaks usually found in these issues,
was the home of a gambling arrange
ment whereby those who went up
against it were heeced without ghost
OF showing for their money. Usually
when a man goes against those things
he deserves to lose. but naturally there
are plenty Of people who will play
them. This, however, was not game
of chance, fot the element of chance 10
favor Of the victim was eliminated and
the slick individual in charge of
operations >was the only man who had
a chance to win. This thing is run in
violation of the State laws and should
be closed in every place it offers to
operate, Short change and other
methods were also used to fleece the
unwary by ticket sellers, vendors Of re-
freshments and othars.
Up until the opening of the show
the circus had good name but IL

circulate, for there were some slick
money changers in the lot.
