PRICES OF MEAT,
THE PRICES WERE NOT REDUCED.
REPORTS WERE NOT WELL
FOUNDED.

The statement in the West Virgin.
ian last evening proved to be correct
when II said that the price OF meat
had not been reduced during the past
several days in Wheeling nor In any
other city In West Virginia, excepting
pork chops and about / l.6 cents on
beef, regardless OF the Wheeling morn.
Ing papers stating that great drop In
the prices had been announced by the
dealers there. AS prominent Main
street dealer OF this city said yester.
day afternoon that II such drop
had taken place in Wheeling 1t would
become effective here at once and
there was no such thing In Fatrmont.
Here's what Wheeling morning
paper says to-day, showing that the
reduced.price-meat statement was In
correct, and which caused scores, OF
Fairmonters to ask their dealer why
they were not selling meat as cheaply
as 1t was reported to be retailing in
Wheeling:
Customers had lots of fun with
their butchers In market yesterday
morning. They had been reading IN
thS Hol HIH6 papers llle ueSpatcneS
from all over the country about the
big reduction In the price of meats.
AS &C onsequence, the first thing a
customer would say: We'll. | suppose
there is big drop In prices this morn.
ing or words to that eeflct. This sort
of kidding was frequent. There is no
change In prices yet but there might
be in December when the new supply
of hogs arrived. Nevertheless. there
Is perceptable easing OFF OF prices
here and there. and II the wholesale
figures continue TO drop, retailers will
be apt to reduce their prices to cor.
respond in order to hold their trade.

spoiled or were so misyoted that but
a portion of the ballot was counted.
One intelligent voter in the Second
ward Of Denison voted for Glasscock
only; another stuck the paster with
the name of the delegates at the bot
tom of his ticket like the tail of a kite,
still another made a cross in every
for those candidates who had no oppo-
sition. The ballot is cumbersome and
square on the ticket, thus voting only
complex and the counting was very
tedious and slow.
There is nothing for the republicans
to do now but to get together as best
they can. Unless they do certain de-
feat stares them in the face, not only
las to county candidates, but as to dis
|trict and state officers as we'll.

the vote, with the exception Of Para
disc township, where the officials failed
to record the vote on the outside Of
the return envelope.
REPUBLICAN.
Governor: Garst, 367; Carroll, 5S8.
Carroll's majority. 221.

Carey, 791; Ebert, 500. Butterworth
being the loser.
Among the uncontested candidates
Louie Evers received the high vote,
scoring ILL.
The primary reflects the sentiment
of the county very fairly. Carroll won
by q large vote considering the num-
her of the polls. Had 1t been possible
to secure q full vote, his majority at
the same ratio would have been near
sly 500.

an excellent band with them and the
