Va, Sept. 14.-Right here in Mason county the greatest political battle for the con trol of the county machinery of the republican party In West Virginia is being waged, and marshaling the ''wet"wing of the party against the ''drys" is Uvia Simpson Pofrenbarger, the brilliant wife of Judge George soffenbarger of the supreme court of West Virginia.
 It is an internecene battle, and Mrs. Poffenbarger, through the State Gazette, of which she is editor and general manager. is fighting the fight that gives no quarter. The State Ga zette is weekly, but during the pres ent fight for the conrol of the county extra editions are run of with the frequency of metropolitan afternoon journals, and the "Ninnyhammers, which is the reproachful term Mrs. Poffenbarger applies to the opposition, who has been in control of the county, are being given life and death battle for the sacving of their political scalps.
 It is the first time in the histor, of West Virginia that the forces oi
 either political party have been let | by a woman.

BOY IS MURDERED
 FOR INSURANCE
ATTEMPT TO BURN BODY FOL LOWED BY THE DISCOVERY OF sTRYCHNINE

WILMINGTON, N. C.. Sept 15.- Enough strychnine to kill several men has been found in the stomach Of Edward Cromwell, an 1s-year old orphan, who was burned to death in the Rock Spring hotel, Wilmington, early in the morning of August 10. J. c. Holly proprietor of the hotel, Is under arrest and is being held with out bail.
 Cromwell had been brought to VII mington from Charlestown, s. C., by MT. Holly, who insured the boys life for s200o. He was the bene- ficiary.
 When firemen entered the boys room they found him lying partly on a bed, with much of the bed clothing and some of his own clothes burned. Two fires had been set in the build ing, one in a room next to that of Cromwell, but the latter only burned a small hole. Gasoline and kerosine had been used in setting the fire in the room in which the body was found, according to the firemen. MT. Holly was at once arrested and as Cromwell was seen eating ice cream just before he went to bed, the chemical analysis was de cided upon. Examination of the stomach lasted three weeks. MT. Scott, deputy state insurance commissioner, has been actively en gagged in working on the case. Other , arrests are expected.

CONTEST BETWEEN THE ORYS
 AND WEES |S VERY BITTER

mittees clamoring for recognition and The faction of which Mrs. Poffen- barger is the head opposes the abo- Iition of the saolon and favors the senatorial candidacy of Senator N. B. Scott against Representative William P. Hubbard.
 The Poffenbargers wanted the re- nomination of Congressman James Hughes against the Hon. Abe Lilly, and they have won this battle, and they now seem in a fair way to win the other points in the controversy. When the two sets of delegates were elected to the congressional conyen- tion seated the Hughes delegation.
 First blood for Mrs. Livia Simpson Poffenbarger. Now there are two tickets in the field, and the question that is bothering the Toter is (Which is the republican ticket?"
 The anti-Poffenbargers stand for the republican platform of 1908 in toto, while the Poffenbargers are dead set against that part of it which guaran- tees the people a vote on the pro hibition amendment.
 If the ballot commissioners recoS nize the ''dry" ticket and place it or the ballot as the official republican ticket, the Poffenbarger faction vii carry the matter to tha supreme court.

TWO ARE SHOT AND OFFICERS
 UNDER ARREST
Row in Tucson Results in Bloodshed with One Man Seriously Wounded by Bull let in His Chest

TUCSON, Sept I4.-As the result of a general row in a room near the Occidental hotel on Meyer street Sunday night, D. c. Page and Lauro Corderc lie dangerously wounded at the Rodgers hospital. Cordero is the worst hurt, but may pull through. Policeman Charlie Roller is in jail and Policeman Hillman is out on Chief Murphy had instructed the officers on the forct Sunday to watch Meyer street, as there were apt to be fights, but to merely keep the peace to the best of their ability and to make no arrests unless necessary. l He advised the officers to make scrappy persons seperate, but if they refused to keep them apart and to lock them up.
 Obeying the instructions of Chief | Murphy, Officers Roller, HillmaD, Ve' ! lasco and the chief himself, were busy during the early part of the night keeping down small disturb ances to some extent caused by re publican ward heelers invading dem ocratic hearquarters. One of the men wounded is a republican worker, yet he is shot by a policeman who has been republican all his life.
 | Page is said to have been enc ol the most turbulent men in the lot and he had kicked Officer Hillman il the stomach while another Mexican was siugging him in the face some time before the shooting, according to Chief Murphy. Finally, seeine that the officers were not disposed to lock them up. six or seven mer decided to take revenge on Officer Roller and bounced him.
 The officer was borne to the fool by the crowd on him and endeavoreC to get his club. but could not reaci it, his left hand being held and hi: club in his left side pocket. H. finally became fearful of losing hi life and worked his right hand loos' sufficiently to get his pistol Whei he secured the weapon he had tt fight to keep it, and finally fired.
 1 oficer Hillman was across tn street getting his breath after th' struggle he had just had with Pag and his associates, when he heard tn shots and rushed to Rollers assist ance Hillman dragged several mel of Roller, one of them being Page When Page was pulled of the office it was found that he had been shot and he was sent to the hospita
 To prove that he had not fired shot Officer Hillburn handed his pi: tol to bystander, and there wer no discharged cartridges in it.
 Several minutes after Page ha
 been removed it was discovered tha Lanro Cordero was also wounded having received a shot in the chesi He was also removed to the hospita and the reports last night were t the effect that he was seriousl wounded, but may recover. In add tion to a bullet wound in his le Page has bruise on his head as tn result of the several difficulties il which he was engaged.

mentioned, so that favorable action Is more than likely.
 The Douglas Elks have put on sey- eral productions and each one has been a success socially and financial ly. The local lodge is winner when it comes to theatrical productions, for it has the talent in its ranks and among its many friends of the fair sex. So well were the Elk'sTooth, the College Penant and a Night in Bo- hemia produced that they are writ ten down in the social history of Douglas and if the lodge shall again undertake a theatrical production there is no doubt that it will be an other dramatic success and will be given hearty support by the people of the city generally, as was the case in the past.

"THINKOGRAMS."

. Each of us Is a wireless telegraph
station for the transmission Of
thought. and each of us is his own
operator.
We send our silent messages day
and night from our station TO other
stations. The things we think are the
messages we send and receive.
AS n man thinketh I'm his heart SO
is he"
Ii we think good thoughts and help
full thoughts we send out and receive
messages of good and of helpfuiness.
Every instrument that is attuned to
this kind of messages receives and
sends out such "thirSograms"
And
IL we think evil and destructive
thoughts we send out-and receive
evil and destructive thought messages.
Or
Some may send out messages for
help and assistance. just as Jack Binns,
the wireless hero. who sent his &c O
d. calls from the sinking ship over
the Atlantic And. believe me. there
are receiving instruments so delicate
they receive such appeals.
Each operator adjusts his instrument
to take only what he wants to hear.
just AZ the wireless machine is adjust
cd to receive only one kind of aero
grams.
Some of us have failed properly to
attune our thought machines. and they
send out and receive all sorts of ium-
bied and discordant messages.
Mind you
If your thought transmitter sends
out Al smile message. n message Of
smiles comes back; n frown message
brings back frowns: hateful mes
sage hate. and so on.
You say this Is fanciful?
Ii is not. In SO far as mental telep-
athy has been Investigated ii is the

So you do not understand how your

THE PACE THAT KILLS.
By EDWIN A. NYE.

woman who has delighted thou
sands OF audiences-an actress-is dy-
Ing in an eastern city because Of
The pace that kills.
The woman wants TO die. There is
nothing to live for. Possibly she would
commit suicide. only she is intelligent
enough TO know that TO hasten her
going would not straighten out the
tanSle of her life-only complicate IL.
The pace that kills
There is DO denying II has its allure
ments. Tread the primrose pain of
dalliance. Chase the winged butterfly.
Listen 70 the patter of the fountains.
Watch the dryads dance. Eat. drink
aud be merry. Ho. for the short life
aud the happy.
The pace that kills.
There's pleasure in the pace. Oh.
yes. Lift high the cup of life and
drain IL TO the dregs On with the joy
rides. What is life but thing to con
1ure with! Give us that which bright
ems the eye and brings the flush to
the cheek and livens the feet and stirs
the blood OF passion.
Go the pace,
Aye, but there's the rub. II kills.
BY and by the eyes that shone with
pleasure will be bleary; by and by the
glow OF cheek will turn TO pallor; the
hand that. without a tremor save of
joy, raised the cup win tremble in
its palsy, and the feet that gayly
tripped the measure OF the dance will
shuttle on the floor.
1t kills.
Some day the rivers of fancy will
lose their runnels in the desert sands
OF life; some day the mirage that lures
viii rise and fade away. Disillusion-
ment will come. And some day ambi-
ton and hope and heart and peace
will go. Some day the money will GO
and there win be the added pinch of
poverty.
The pace does not kill its victim in a
day. Would it might.
Slowly, insidiously, gross habits will
build prison house around the soul
IND life will be narrowed down. The
senses will fail TO please. In safety
and bondage goes the last quarter Of
the home stretch.
The pace that kills.
1t is memorable. II you dance you
must pay the fiddler. And the pay is
wrunG most cruelly-by piecemeal.
1t Is written in the good old book:
1.-The soul that sinncth 1t shall die"
The word is true not because IL is in
the book, but ii is in the book because
IL Is true. 1t states the unvarying law
or things-as unvarying as the law of
Mathematics. IL you so the pace you
die
