Or. JOHN i, COOK.

FafTmont had few men more uni
versally esteemed than DR.. John R.
Cook, who passed to the great beyon /
at an early hour this morning. Dur.
ing his stay among us he saved the
lives o! hundreds Of people by his
skill as surgeon, but his own life
he could not save and his friends
whom he numbered by the thousands
mourn deeply over his departure DR..
Cook was remarkable man. He won
his way tt leadership in surgery in
this community almost before people
were aware of his ability. He came
to Marion county from Virginia and
located as a company doctor at Mon
tana. He remained there twelve years
almost unknown to our people, but
gradually his skill as surgeon began
to be heard Of and then his famc
spread rapidly until at tne time Of
his death he was the most famous sur.
geon in central West Virginia. DR..
Cook was kind hearted and true. He
was held in high esteem as man
and his genial smile and kindly words
will be greatly missed by those with
whom he came in contact. The city
and vicinity will miss him greatly. His
place will be very hard to fill. TIE
feeble words that we are able to say
of him sound empty and of small con.

was and what he DID in this commun.

Washington, Feb. 3.-The following
cablegram of sympathy for the king Of
Portugal was today dispatched from
the White House,:
White House, Washington, Feb. 8,

Portugal, Lisbon: 1 hasten to express
to you and to your bereaved queen
mother my heartfelt condolences by
reason Of the tragic death of your royal
father and brother. The American
people feel a peculiar bond Of sympa-
thy with the royal family and the peo-
pie OF Portugal in their great affection,

shocked and grieved at the dreadful
THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
Lesson to Russia.
st. Petersburg Feb. 3.-The tragic
occurrences at Lisbon have created a
deep impression On all sections of
society here and the newspapers that
appeared today. comment freely on
the events that occurred
The Russ, in daring editorial,
draws thinly-Yeiled parallel on con-
ditions in Portugal and Russia and
warns the govaEnment in almost so
many words that there is danger of a.
similar event. The lamentable and,
awful tragedy in Portugal this paper
says, was due tosIhe fact that the king
did not understand his people and was
attempting to stem by dictatoriaI
methods of repression the Irresistible
striving of the masses to take part in
the government. The tragedy hap
pened at the very moment when
Premier Franco seemingly had sue
of unprecedented repressive mea-
sures. .=., e..
The Novoe Vremya, although at
tributing the direct execution of the
plot to anarchists, to whom all gov
eminent is obnoxious also connects
the crime and the dictatorship of
Franco, which met with both open
and secret resistance from all politi-
cal parties. The paper says that
Franco proved himseIr child in the
face OF a danger which was evident
ly known to a large number of the
population, much as the plans of the
Russian terrorists for the ASA ssina-
ton of Alexander II were a matter of
almost common knowledge in ST.
Petersburg.
Other newspapers express horror at
the assassinations and voice their
sympathy for the Portuguese nation
and the bereaved queen.
Grand Duke Nicholas called at the
Portuguese legation here today and
expressed the condolences Of the i'm
perial family. Foreign Minister
Iswolsky, the foreign ministers and
ambassadors and many high Russian
functionaries, also left cards at the
legation.
