LEE MONUMENT
UNVEILED

Vicksburg, Miss, June 11.-Today
the unveiing of the Lee monument
took place. The weather was excel
lent and large crowd was in at
tendance. General C. A, Evans de-
livered the following address:
Our thoughts and feelings today
concentrate fifty on the patriotic life
|of Lieutenant General Lee, as we
shall always associate with the great
events in which he acted his distin.
guished part" said General Evans Il
will make his well known life the
theme, his character an example, and
his career the suggestion of the
citizens patriotic duty. What a
noble man he was. Not merely
titular nobleman without the noble
graces, but monumental nobility.
proven by his deeds, belonged to
him without other escutcheon This
monument declares his fame and our
country will accept it as a part of it's
own glory"
General Evans spoke of "the four
years brilliant military career of the
great Confederate soldier" which he
declared could be expanded into vol
umes by narrating the wonderful in
cldents of that vast war in which he
achieved the fame the country de-
| lighted to honor. AT the close of
Z! his war life said General Evans.
lin full vigor of his thirty-two years.
there can be found no unfitness for
public service in any trait or quality
OF character; or act of his bright ca
reer, which suggests a cause of any
kind why the honors of this remark
able memorial should not crown him.
Not a cloud lowered around his name.
If it be becoming in man to be brave
he had that eXcellency of manhood,
for the best ideas of chivalry were
eXemplified by his courage, since he
fought as patriot without malice to-
ward his enemy. His hand nev-
er withheld what was another's due.
His tongue did not falter in praise
when it was merited by a foe. His
heart flowed with limpid charity for
all, and his life was passed in faith
full service of man and God. He will
be remembered forever in the biog-
raphy of Americans as type of the
true citizen; the courageous, skillfui,
generous leader in war; the ardent
,ohieaerate comrade e, snc s.c true :soc-.le-
man, the affectionate husband and
1ather. and above ALL the c0nsstent
Christian man.
III concluding, General Evans de-
clared that the people of the North
ana the South should more perfectly
know and more kindly consider one
ahothef. They should mingle with
out prejudice he said, without dis.
trust, and for mutual benefit, not for
partlsap or sectional gain. Let East
and West Interchange courtesies and
not complaints; let South and North
cultivate fairly more general fra.
ternlzatlon by the exchange of admi-
ration instead of recrim:nation. The
evident quartet of sections, East.
west South and North can be made
an advantage and not remain a hind.
rance; and the civic union by states
OF homegentic kindred citizenry
VIII secure safely and forever the
purest blood on earth, and show to
all nations OF this age the example
of the best government in the world .

Kansas City Mo, June 11.-During
terrific wind storm last night, pas
senger train on the Kansas City, Mex
leo {, Orient Railroad, was blown from
the track on a high bridge across the
Brazos river, between Knox City and
Benjamin, Texas. j. E. Stafford of
Crowell, Texas, a passenger, was killed
and seven were injured, none of them
fatally.
Details received by E. Dickinson,
vice president and manager of the
Orient are meager. All wires to
Texas points are down. There were
few passengers on the train which
was running twenty miles an hour
when the accident occurred. A ter
rife rain and wind storm had been
encountered by the crew all night. AS
the train passed upon the bridge a
sudden blow sent it rolling into the
almost dry bed of the river below.
The baggage car and three coaches
toppled over but the weight of the
engine prevented it from falling.
That more were not injured is due to
the fact that it was only ten feet
high at the point Of accident. A fur
ther dispatch says that at a section
of Camp Deep Water, Texas, was
completely destroyed.

PHYSICIANS REPORT
THAT MANY ARE ILL
From Typhoid Fever ana Dyphtheria
In Both the City and County
Cause of Typoid Here Unknown.
From The World of Tuesday:

From The World of Tuesday:
Local physicians report 8 number of
cases of typhoid fever and dyphtheria
in this city, and reports from several
sections OF the county state that there
are many cases there also.
While the cases do not amount TO
an epidemic, the situation is giving
the health authorities and the physi-
clans no little Thus far
there have been no deaths from either
of the diseases, but a number of per
sons are seriously i'll.
Just what is causing the typhoid is
a puzzle to the physicians. The drink
ing water is as pure as ever. and the
spread of the disease can hardly be
attributed to that. Some persons as
cribe it to the great amount of de-
caying vegetable matter, due to the
long drought and the vast quantity
Of vegetables now being brought to
the city. =
Owing to the fact that the schools
will open IN two weeks, the physicians
are striving hard to check the pro.
gress of dyphtheria, and il possible
prevent an epidemic.

The Wall Street Journal in its issue

AN EXTRA SESSION
is NOT PROBABLE
No Necessity For Meeting of the West
Virginia Legislature, Says
the Governor.

Charleston, w. Va, Aug. 24.-With
from his trip to the Alaska-Yukon-Pa-
cifc exposition the talk of an extra
session of the legislature the coming
winter has again quoted down. Dur
ing the governors absence the news
papers of the state found the neces-
sity for a session, and almost had one
called, but with the executive back
in his office, little more is heard
along the extra session line.
That there is need or an extra SEES
sion is the expression made by the
governor to some friends. The re-
publican party platform pledges, a
primary election law and a local
option law were not carried out last
winter on of the stand the
senate took on the bills presented.
During his campaign, and since his
election Governor Glasscock has stood
for carrying out these pledges. But
there is no eason TO believe the sem
ate would change their action of last
winter, and the executive would not
risk calling a session for those
pledges alone.
But technically, the State laws are
being daily violated and viii be, In
til the legislature meets again. The
state penitentiary. for the pas several
years, has been self-sustaining OF. bet
ter, has paid into the treasury OF The
state from 100000 to $4,000 annually.
after peying its own expenses. The
recent legislature enacted a law that
all receipts OF all state institutions
must be paid into the treasury OF the
state. 1t enacted further that the re-
ceipts of the peniteniarv, in excess of
$4,000 a year, shall be paid into the
state road fund.
But the same legislature failed to
make any appropriation for the peni-
Tertiary, as had been done under the
old custom of having the institution
maintain itself. The management OF
the big institution, with its population
of about 1900, had passed under the
management of the new state board
of control, and Notwithstanding the
new law, a part of the receipts of the
institution go to maintain it. This
is technically illegal, and also re-
duces the amount intended to go in
to the road fund, And on this one
point, more than anything else. hinges
the question of an extra session. If
the public is satisfied with the pres
emit arrangement and no emergency
arises, the governor does not feel that
he should put the state to the ex-
pense of an extra session.

MOSES THATCHER
IS DEAD IN UTAH
Powerful and Wealthy Mormon Apos-
tie Mas First Cousin of Mr.. Kitchen
and Mrs. Granthar, of County.

A special dispatch from Salt Lake
City. Utah, states that Noses Thatch-
er, who has been prominent In bust
ness and political life in Utah for the
past h~alf-eentury, died at his home in
Logan. near Salt Lake City. Monday,
aged about IS years.
Mr.. Thatcher was formerly an apos
tie of the Mormon church, and welded
a powerful influence in the hierarchy
Of the Latter Day Saints. He resign
ed his position as an apostle in 1898
in order to become a candidate for
the United States senate, but was de-
feated for that position by Senator
Joseph L. Rawlins. Being one OF the
most powerful and noted Mormons in
Utah, he amassed a fortune estimated
at $1,000, 90.
Mr.. Thatcher visited Martinsburg
and Berkeley county several times
during the past 20 years, and was well
known to a number of the older resi-
dents. He was a first cousin of Mr..
Gilbert Kitchen, of Virginia avenue,
and Mrs. Melyina Grantham OF Shang-
hal. He emigrated to Utah at an
early age. and left the orthodox church
to become a Mormon. Several years
ago he went to Mexico to found a col
ony OF Mormons, and was later a con-
spicuous witness In the trial Of Sena-
tor Reed Smoot before the senate,
when efforts were made to GUST Sena-
tor Smoot from his seat.
Mr.. Thatcher was born in Berkeley
county, e Shanghai, but removed
with his parents to Illinois when about
three years old. A remarkable inch
dent IN connection with his career
as a Mormon is the fact that he never
had but one wife.

West Virginia Expects Federal Cen
sus Next Year VIII Show Big
increase in Population.

Prominent men OF the state are Of
the opinion the census of 1910 will
! give West Virginia another represen-
tative in congress, increasing the
total delegation in the lower house
from five to six. This would neces-
state the complete Encouragement OF
the political map OF the state and
~jeopardlze the fortunes OF a number
Of men who seem by the present ar
rangement to have the promise Of an
indefinite tenure.
The readjustment Of the congress-
ional district and the admission OF an
additional division would be fraught
with problems which would require
much nice calculations 10 figure out
to the satisfaction Of the politicians.
The first consideration would be to
determine on the curse OF procedure
which would insure six republican
representatives from West Virginia.
Second to this would be that of pur-
suing a course which would leave
unrufied the feathers OF the five
representatives now in office, and
build up the new district out of the
counties so situated geographically as
to leave Hubbard in the First district
and leave him dominant in the coun-
ties reserved to the First, with a sim
liar course Of treatment for Sturgiss,
woodward, Gaines and Huges.
Mr.. Gaines would. Of course, insist
upon having the big majority Of Fay
cite kept at his back, while Mr..
Hughes would not cheerfully acquiesce
in any arrangement which would rob
him of McDowelI's ever-ready largest
OF republican votes.
