The clarksburg Telegram quotes
the wall of the Democratic Grafton
Leader over the treatment Col. Lamar
c. Powell is getting. The Leader says
the Colonel offered to pay advertising
rates for a notice in the West Virgin
ian and was refused. The grand finale
of the Democratic squeal from Graf.
ton follows:
Now, Col. Powell is a native Of Ma
rion county, and the men who denied
him the columns OF the West Virgin
ian hail from Pennsylvania. Thus the
native is superseded by the carpet.
Dagger
Those fellows from Pennsylvania"
are bad men from Bitter Creek to
treat poor old Powell" that way, to
borrow phrase from another of the
Colonel's Democratic friends, the Hon.
George Byrne, Of Charleston.

belonging to all members of tn

gress against Captain B. B. Doyeper
in 1906, and against Senator Hazlett,
Of Ohio county, in 1908. The critI-
clsms that Mr.. Ogden makes on NJ.
Hubbard's record were all before the
Republican voters of the First congress
sional district in both Of those cam
paigns. They were printed in circp.
lars and distributed largely, as they
are now being printed in circulars and
distributed largely By the Scott peo-
pie. All these things were before the
Republican voters of the First CON
gressional district, it should be rerliem-
bered, in the campaigns for the nom-
nation in 1906 and 1908. Thus they
have been passed upon repeatedly by
the voters of the First congressional
district, including Mr.. H. c. Ogden
himself. II Mr.. Hubbard's recota
is bad now because of the things that
he did, forty years ago, and which
were well known and exploited in
1906 and 1908, they were bad in those
years when Mr.. Ogden earnestly sup.
ported him for both the nominations
and for the elections.
Mr.. Ogden not only shows how sore
he was at the criticism of Mr.. Hub.
bard, and how "the truth hurts" and
how he had lost his head, by what. he
said, as stated above, but also by his
criticism of some acts of Mr.. Hubbard
in the campaign of 1904. Now, be It
known that the very things that he
now criticises Mr.. Hubbard for doing
in 1904; Mr.. Ogden personally5and in
his newspapers sustained and defend.
lea. Therefore, Mr.. Ogden fsinoti so
much criticising Mr.. Hubbard as he
his criticising himself. },
In his speech against Mr.. Hubbard,
Mr.. Ogden argues against the expe.
diency of,haying a primary election in
|tAes, state. Notwithstanding the fact
that the Republican, plattormtfn 1908
distinctly declared for a statewide
primary for the nomination of State
ticket, and also for candidates for
United States senator, yet Mr. Ogden
repudiated that part of the platform,
as well as other parts Of itfin the
wheeling Intelligencer. Very5recent
lily he has stated that he is in favor Of
a primary election, and that Senator
Scott is in favor Of it, but when Mr..
ogden met with the Senatorial COM
mittee Of the First senatorial district,
as proxy for General Morris Hork,
heimer, who was Ill, Mr.. Ogden voted
and worked against having a primary
election in that senatorial district; and
Mr.. Ogden was opposed to a primary
election in Ohio county for the pur.
pose of choosing candidates for coun.
ty commissioners, members Of the
house of delegates, and other nomi.
nees on the county ticket.

With a big bandage over her eye
and her face badly swollen, Mrs. john

alleged viciousness. Aspan told the
court he had good reason 10 be sore

Coffin Nails" Undermine Health
of Athletes.

wild Bill" Donovan never made
more of a hit on the ball field than he
did Thursday night In his address to
an audience OF boys complained
against in the juvenile court for smok-
ing cigarettes.
Bill told the boys of the evils result
Ing from smoking cigarettes, giving
special attention to the results from
an athletes point OF view. Without
mentioning names the speaker told OF
famous ball players who were com
PEELED TO give up the game long before
they were old, because OF their habits.
He mentioned the case OF Jim" JEFF
fries, now matched TO fight Johnson
for the championship of the world.
He told the boys that for several years
during his retirement Jeffries had been
an inveterate smoker of cigarettes,
and he questioned whether the white
man could ever regain his position
as the top of the pugilistic world, be-
cause OF the weakening effects of the
coffin nails"
DR.. j. b. Kennedy had been invited
to address the boys. TO tell OF the
evils of smoking from the physicians
standpoint, but ne was unable to be
present. He will address the boys
later.

JUDGE X. NJ. LANDS.
FORD COMPANY HAS SOLD
$4,000 1910 MOTOR CARS
Foresight Of the Firm In Running al
Full Speed Through Dull Season
Is Justified.

Within the last two weeks over
5000, 100000 worth of new machinery
has been set in place in the new plant
of the Ford Motor company at High
land Park. Detroit.
The old plant with all it's machin-
cry, none OF it two years old, remains
unchanged, for 1910 has opened up
with such a rush that both plants
will be required to care for the de-
mand.
Last fall Mr.. Ford decided to build
cars all winter, SO as to start the 1910
season" with a supply on hand-so
the factory has worked full time all
winter. But the plans so carefully laid
have gone wrong. There has been a
continuous sale of Ford cars all these
winter months, $500 cars having been
shipped since October 1.
Some idea of the 1910 demands for
Ford cars may be gathered from the
following figures. London, England
has ordered SIS cars (25S were sold
az the London Auto Show. Continen.
tai Europe wants 800; the foreign de-
partment has requisitioned for 1000
more. Minneapolis wants 5000;

Members Of 1908 Grand
Jury Forced Beef inquiry


CHICAGO, Jan. 2S.-The present
inquiry into the affairs of the beef
trust was brought about by four mem-
bers of the grand jury that investi-
gated the so-called beef trust in 1908.
They called on Judge Lands, 1t is
said, and informed elm that there was
sufficient evidence submitted to the
1908 grand jury to warrant true bills
and that in the face of this there was
a sudden apathy on the part of those
behind the prosecution. They also
said II the investigation was not im-
mediately renewed they would make
a Joint statement TO the public Sc
ting forth their theory of why the
prosecution had been dropped.
Following the jurors complaint,
lands Is said to have made an inves-
tigation that resulted in the present
action. lands. 1t is said, got in touch
with the evidence submitted to the
1908 grand jury and he is determined
that the present action shall not be
nullifed by any influence arising out
side the grand jury room.

have the government take this ac-
ton
According TO F. d. Green. general
agent for the New York association for
improving the condition of the poor,
the increased cost of living and the
decreasing wage scale for unskilled
labor. is making the present winter
one OF hardship for New York's poor.
Green declares the association Is
now aiding 1000 families, while forty
new families are applying for aid each
week This, he says. is an increase
OF fifty per cent over the figures OF
three years ago. other New York re-
lief associations are reporting similar
increases on the number Of hungry
poor.
This situation is partially aggravat-
ed in the crowded east side, where
families do not buy food by weight,
but by the nickel's worth, or dime s
worth. INSCRIPTIONS dealers, accord
ing to Green, are taking advantage Of
the higher price of food to cut down
the amount of food thus sold, so that
the poor of the east side are not even
getting what their limited means per
nit them to buy.

East TWenty-fourth-st., got up little
before 6 a. m. and rubbed the cob
webs out OF his eyes he took look
at the fog over the East river, then,
just 10 see II his fog bell was in work
ing order. he gave the rope a jerk
There was no answering toll. The
captain investigated. There was no
bell. Some thief had stolen aboard in
the night, stolen a march on the cap
tain and stolen the bell.
Capt. Quigley Gobbled down his
breakfast, lit his pire and started for
the East Twenty-second-st. police sta
ton to report his loss.
Policeman Dondero, Of the East
Twenty-second-st. station. slowly
racing Third.ave. Lear East Twenty
sixth-st. little after and wishing it
were an hour latel. heard the tolling
o. bell so close to him that 1t made
him jump. Clang! clang. went the
deep toned bell. Then there was
silence, then a crash OF metal, aud
then one spoken word rhyming with
ham.
To Policeman Dondero the sound
came from the vestibule of a tenement
house. He peered into the vestibule
and saw a man trying to wrap a
large bell in newspapers. The police
man asked questions. The man said
he had found the bell in the street.
The policeman expressed doubt and
took the man and bell TO the station
house. There the man said he was
Andy Smith. 81. of No. 81 East
Twenty-seventh-st. A few minutes
later Capt Quigley arrived to report
his loss. The first thing he saw was
his bell on the floor. Smith was
charged with grand larceny and will
have a hearing in Yorkville court. The
bell was detained by the police as a
witness.
