New York, Oct. 29.-For $50 sue
cessive days physicians at the deten-
tion hospital on North Brother island
have examined Mary Mallen In hopes
that she might be found free from
typhoid germs. On several occasions
no germs have been found, but on the
following day they have reappeared
and on no two successive days have
they been missing. The physicians
are puzzled, but say there is nothing
to do but keep the woman I'm the hos
rital until such time as the germs
disappear. The woman was first
heard of on Long IsjR1d. where a
sporadic outbreak of typhoid occurred.
1t was traced to her, but she got away
and in another place obtained a posi-
tion as cook The family developed
typhoid and again she moved, only
to be the cause of another slight cpl
demic of typhoid. The woman has
pever shown any of the symptoms OF
the disease. but for nearly year and
nalf she has been thoroughly infect
ed with the germs. Unless some
method of driving the bacilli from her
system is discovered Mary Mallen's
address, for an indefinite period. will
be the detention hospital.

Believed Poison Was intended foV
Their Employer.


Oklahoma City, Okla, Oct. 29.--
Death by poison of two servants in
the home of Rev. Carter Helm Jones,
pastor of the Baptist church here, has
started an investigation to determine
whether the poison was meant for the
minister by persons in LyI1hburg,
Va, who objected to his marriage to
a woman of the Methodist church.
DR.. Jones says he does not believe
the poison was meant for him.
Edward and Laura Davis, servants
in the household of DR.. Jones, were
found dead. Beside them was a bot.
tie of whisky and a bottle of black.
berry brandy. The brandy had been
brought by DR.. Jones family from
Virginia.
DR.. Jones WIS pastor of the Broad
way Baptist church In Louisville for
years. About year ago he went to
Lynchburg, Va, to take one of the
largest churches there. He married
a prominent Methodist woman and
this marriage outside OF his congrega
tion caused much bitter comment.

Escapes With Life Sentence.

Manila, Oct 29.-Private Michael E.
Beecham of the First cavalry, who
ran amuck at Camp Stotsenburg last
May and killed four OF his comrades,
was sentenced to life Imprisonment
by the trial court before which he
appeared. The court took the view
that the crime was unpremeditated
and the result of a sudden fit OF
anger. Under the Spanish law, there
fore, the court held that the circum-
stances in the case did not warrant
the infiiction of the death penalty.

IN FEDERAL COURT.
Petition Asking Receiver for All
Cleveland Street Railways.

Cleveland, Oct. ga new suit for
receivership, and one which it is ex-
pected will take precedence over all
other suits, was filed in the United
States circuit court asking that the
court take charge of all of the local
street railway property. Both the
Municipal Traction company, the OPP
Grating company, and the Cleveland
Railway company, the owning COM
pany, were made parties to the suit.
A temporary restraining order also
was issued by Judge Tayler enjoining
the companies from paying out any
money or contracting any new obliga-
tions other than paying for labor and
the actual maintenance of the prop
erty.
The suit was filed by the Central
Trust company of New York, trustee
for the bondholders. The company
has a mortgage for S8,276,000 upon
the property, which was given as Sc
curity for the bonds. The action is
the result of the recent referendum
vote which practically left the car
companies without franchise. 1t is
stated that the receiver was asked for
SO as to throw the whole situation in
the hands of the court that the cred
itors, bondholders and all others may
have their interests fully protected
during the reconstruction days now
to follow as an aftermath of the loss
of the franchise. The rejection of the
franchise left the property in cha
otic condition, with contending inter
ests claiming rights, possession and
ownership The. new court action, il
Is said, will insure the public adequate
street railway service while the affairs
Of the opposing interests will be
Strengthened out. The hearing Is sci

DUMA REASSEMBLES.
First Russian Parliament to Hold ;
Second Session.

SeCOnO SESSION.
st. Petersburg, Oct. 29.-The au-
tumn session of the third Russian
duma and the sittings of the council
of empire have begun. The fact that
this is the first time a Russian parlia-
ment has come to its second session
gives much satisfaction and raises the
hope that the present duma will be of
far greater service to the country
than was either the first or the sec
ond. In the Tauride palace the depu-
ties plunged immediately in the Bal
kan situation by means of an urgent
Interpolation to which all the par
ties subscribed. M. Maklakoff, Con-
stitutional Democrat, made a vigorous
attack on the government. He de-
clared that the annexation of Bosnia
and Herzegovina by Austria-Hungary
was a national question and that the
attempts of the government to gag the
voice of the nation were intolerable.

The public school system of this
state was inaugurated and fostered
by the Republican party. 1t is the
bulwark of our civilization, progress
and happiness. While in power the
Democratic party did little if any
thing to encourage or improve the
states educational facilities. It's
policies have always been of mega
tive character. The Republican par
ty has always stood for the best
things in the education of the youth
of the state and as an instance of that
under the operation of the new tar
laws the term of public schools in
the country districts has been increas-
ed from four to six months, besides

is that not something that the Demo-
Gratis failed to accomplish in their
long reign of mismanagement of the
affairs of the state? OF all the OPP
pressed people under their rule none
suffered greater hardships than the
unequally taxed agricultural class.
But the Democratic claim is only a
half truth. What has helped the
farmer has naturally aided other in
dustries and occupations. The levy
ing features of the tax laws passed
by the Republican legislature have
secured a more equal distribution of
the burdens of taxation, and in the
Improvement of the condition of the
West Virginia farmer we find relative
benefits distributed among the other
taxpayers of the state.

The Republican party has reduced
the state tax levy from thirty-five
cents on the one hundred dollar val
uation to five cents. The Democratic
candidate for governor, If he stands
for anything at all, Is planted upon
a platform that virtually favors a
restoration of the old tax rate
through its sympathy with the cor
porate influences OF West Virginia.
Which way will you vote this year,
old time tax reformers? 1t is up to
you to save the people from infection
of calamity that will turn the prog
ress of the state backward and halt
prosperity for long time to come.

ton OF the Hon. W. E. Glasscock as
the Republican nominee for governor
Is no longer a question open for dis
cussion. From every quarter comes
the highest tributes to his character
and singleness and honesty of pur-
pose. AS the leading Republican Or
gan of the state we'll says:
William E. Glasscock is a clean
man; man of high character and OF
strict integrity. He was an original
tax reformer, and has been active in
the advocacy of progressive Republi-
can policies. It is the belief of the
Intelligencer that he will be no man S
man in the governorship; that he will
be the chief executive in fact as well
as in name; and that he Will give the
state an administration that will be
satisfactory in every important re-
spect."
This is the spirit of the comment
of the press throughout the state, and
we can assure the people of the state
that their confidence in the integrity
and high aspiration of the true and
tried monaghan will not be mis-
placed.
