EccENTRIclTIEs or A. M'ELFlsH
Aged Farmer Was Worth Quarter of
Million.

Romney, w Va, Jan. 29.-Amos
McElfish. who died At Springfield, w.
Va, a short time ago at the age Of
80 years, left an estate valued at a
quarter of a million dollars, consist
ing of timber lands and farms. His
holdings are situated in various coun-
ties in Maryland and West Virginia.
Mr.. McElfish was one of the most
eccentric men of his time, having one
of the most novel schemes to pur-
chase land at low price. He made
it his business to visit sales far and
near, and went dressed in a manner
that would have shamed the average
hobo. After looking the property
over for sale and having decided to
purchase, he brought his genius into
play and while bidding would act
like a lunatic and make ridiculous of
fers that, on a number of occasions
the auctioneer would knock he
property down to him at a cheap fig
ure in order to get rid of him, never
thinking that such seedylooking'in-
dividual would have the money with
which to make good his bid. But the
moment the properly was declared
his Mr.. McElfsh would produce the
money and demand his rights.

there came an offer from a number
Of men. contractors and workmen, to

them are idle as usual during the
winter season.
It must not he understood from the
foregoing that the managers have
enough money snd building mat rails

they doubtless would I ave had be-

so that those who may desire in any
way to aid the managers in this
worthy enterprise are requested to
notify either Mrs. H. P. Thorn or Mr..

haps, be better appreciated in the
light of brief description of the pro-
posed building and the uses it will
be put to.

week from Mr.. James Lemen

PRESIDENT VS.. SENATE
Lock Horns on Question Of Fed
eraI Patronage.
TROUBLE ORIGINATED IN OHIO
Senator Foraker and Dick Lead 0p-
position, But Roosevelt DON'T
Fear En-.

Washington, d. c.. January 299-
President Roosevelt and the United
States senate have locked horns in
a contest over the distribution OF fed
Grad patronage that may have far.
reaching consequences in the pending
political campaign.
The trouble really originating over
minor appointments in Ohio-princi-
pally postofIice appointments. It be-
gan nearly year ago. about the time
it was known first that Secretary
Taft would be candidate for the pres
idency. The President and the Ohio
senators, Foraker and Dick. had some
differences over Ohio appointments,
the former refusing to name for Office
certain men whom the senators had
recommended. Late last spring, the
differences between the president and
the two senators became acute
Then it was that the senator's let
it be known that the President had
notified the postoffice department Off
cials that no more Ohio postmasters
We're to be appointed unless they had
Secretary Taft's o, K on their APP
pFication. This announcement Gre
ated a furore among Ohio politicians,
but subsequently it was denied, for
the President, in semi-ofiicial way,
although he, himself, would not dig
Nifty the subject by discussing it.
Those particularly interested in the
Ohio situation kept close tab on the
matter, however and for many weeks
they have been convinc ID by develop,
ments that some Of the federal patron
age in Ohio was being used in the
interest Of Secretary Taft although
they also are convinced that the
President may not be aware of the
true situation
The whole matter OF the use Of pa
tronage in the presidential campaign
was brought to head a few days ago
when several OF the Presidents APP
pointees as postmasters in Ohio were
rejected unanimously by the s.nate
at the Instance of Senators Foraker
and Dick
This action was a match to the
powder magazine The contest spread
to other states and to other appoint
ments An attack was made on the
President because he had permitted

master of Pensacolt, Fla, for nearly
year after his nomination had been
rejected by the senate. In this par
ticular case, the President appears
to- be quite within his rights The
law provided that a postmaster shall
hold office until his successor shall
have qualified, unless he be removed
by the President. The President may
take all the time he de Tres in decid-
ing whom to APPOINT The senate can
not force his hand in such circum-
stances.
Now, it is determined by the Pres
ident TO make a showing ABOUT feder-
al appointments with view Of dem
