Good bread is economical. Poor
bread is dear at any price. When
you have bread that is so good you
feel like you could eat the whole.loaf,
you will eat lots of It and less meats
and other costly foods. You not only
save money, but 1t is most healthful
to. eat more plain food and less rich
food.
Dewey's Best makes the kind of
bread that whets your appetite-it's
made from the kind of wheat your
mother and and grandmother used
so years ago and more-it's the kind
of -four that promotes long life.

Funde.

Hartford, Conn, July 25.--William

ed Walker In a mining camp about 100
miles south of Ensehada, Mexico.
Walker was locked in the steel cage

he will be brought before Judge
Shumway in the superior criminal
court Saturday. On his way east with
the detectives Walker told them that
he would plead guilty when arraigned.
Walker, when seen by representa-
tive of the Associated press, refused
to tell what he had done with the
money, saying that he put 1t into what
he considered to be good invest

long experience as a successful
banker.

NOT SURPRISED
Is the City of Elkins Over Bad
State of Affairs of the West
ern Maryland Railroad.

ELKINS, Mar. 7.--While It is i'm
possible to obtain any statement as
to te effect the Western Maryland re-
ceivershlp proceeding win have on
the West Virginia Central railroad,
owing to the absence from the cit yof
any officials competent to speak for
the Western Maryland. the receiver
ship is regarded here as the best pos
sible solution for a deplorable state OF
affairs. That the Western Maryland
would eventually go into the hands
of receivers had been expected here
for some time, with shops in opera
tion only half time, with half the
motive power in the shops and with
the railroad at times hardly able to
meet its monthly payroll, the road
has been steadily running down. All
these conditions have crippled busi-
ness here within the last few months.
With the appointment of receivers
these conditions win be materially
improved. The West Virginia Gem
trail is n division of the Western
Maryland, and as a part of the whole
system will be affected us the West

MRS. THOMPSON
Daughter of the Founder of the
Christian Church Dies in
Washington City.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Mar. -
Mrs. Virginia Campbell Thompson.
daughter of the Rev. Alexander
Campbell. who founded the Christian
or campbeilite church, is dead here.
For thirteen years Mrs. Thompson
was postmaster at Louisville, KY.
Her successive campaigns for reap
pointment to that office are still re-
membered by those who were con-
versant with the doings OF public life
during the Presidential terms OF
Hays, Garfield, Arthur, Cleveland
and Harrison.
Mrs. Thompson was born at Beth
any, w. Va. She was married to
William r. Thompson. OF Kentucky.
After he died in 1877, she journey
ed to Washington with her young
children and asked President Hayes
for the appointment OF postmaster at
Louisville. Although her selection
was bitterly fought by POLITICIANS she
received the appointment.
President Arthur reappointed her
as did President Cleveland. There
were over $4,000 letters on file re-
questing the reappointment Of Mrs
Thompson when President Harrison
entered the White House. The de.
termined opposition of Postmaster
General wanamaker kept her from
serving a fourth term.
Mrs. Thompson of late years had
been employed in the congressional
library.

The ordinance is incomplete and
merely provides for the next four
teen months after May /. The state
law changes- the license year for all
time until 1t Is modified or repealed,
or amended, while the city's proposed
ordinance does away with the license
year altogether after first of July,
1903. The city should not only pro-
vide for the next fourteen months
after May>I but 1t should also have
within the ordinance a clause fixing
July !. or June 80. as the beginning
Of the license year afer Jun 80,
