QUIET ABOUT V1CE-PRESfDENT

There was u sudden cessation of
activity to-day regarding the vice -presi-
dental situation This was largely due
to the announcement made by Frank H.
Hitchcock that the Taft forces would not
take part in any campaign for the Soc
ond place on the ticket. The leaders Of
the allies" adopted the attitu lie that It
had not been customary FOR the party to
consider the vice-prcsdcncy until after
the first place on the ticket had been
filled and that there was no present roa-
son TO depart from this precedent. what
discussion was heard ccntered largely
about Senator Dollver of Iowa and Secrc-
tary Cortelyou.
Lafayette Young, ono Of the dele
gates-at- large from Iowa, to-day said
that the friends of Senator Dolliver
in his own state were not anxious tn
see him leave the ranks of tho Sen
ators for the office of presiding over
the senate. He safd further that he
had received promises from some of
the energetic friends of the senator
outside OF Iowa to cease ngitating his
name as q candidate. The friends of
Governor Guild of Massachusetts, to-
day seemed satisfied with the results
of their work thus far. There was
no announcement forthcoming from
the Headquarters established yester-
day for John Hays Hammond.

titled to the second place on the ticket
II Governor Hughes be not given the first

FISH DYING
In Large Numbers Up and
Down the West Fork
River Now.

Fish in the West Fork river he
tween this city and Fafrmont, are dy-
ing by the hundreds while others are
$50 contaminated by the poisonous
water of the river that they lay in a
stupor close to the banks where
scores OF them are killed by men
with sticks.
The West Fork river Is no nor.
than series of pools filed with stag
nant water, coiored green or yellow
by the minerals from the mines and
contaminated further by the refuse
dumped into the stream from the lit
tie towns aolng the banks.
In nearly every pool many dead
fish may be seen floating on the sur
face. while scores of others, inert and
from all appearances dead, hug the
banks.
A favorite occupation of many up
and down the river has been to walk
along the banks armed with n board
or large stick. Seeing n fish near
shore the water is hit with the board
and the. stun of the blow makes i'll
possible to capture the fish without
trouble.
Large killings are reported in th:sI
manner and in some cases the ASH
have been cleaned and eaten while IN
others, their meat was feared to bel
poisonous and 1t was not used.

Gaining Frien dis.

John A. Wykoff, Republican nomi-
nee for Associate Judge, visited in En-
porium and Shippen this week, calling
on the voters. Mr. Wykoff is a gentle
man well qualified for the position and
when elected will fearlessly and hon
estly fill the proud position. He is a
native of this county and every posi-
ton of trust or honor has been admir-
ably represented AS County Com
missioner for one term, 1886 81, he
showed his ability to more than the
average. Every position of trust held
in Grove township, where he has resid-
ed all his life, except when he followed
the Flag in 1861, he has repeatedly
been reelected, often being endorsed
by the Democratic party.
Again, he is an honest farmer, in
fact has been one for many, many
years. The farmers demand, as right,
that they be accorded the Associate
Judge not having been accorded one
since the early days of the organization
of this county. Meet him, talk with
him and cast your vote for John A.
Wykoff, for Associate Judge.
