News reached here yesterday of the
death of Samuel W. Wehn at his home
at Everett, Pa at 800 p. m. Sunday.

was native of STAUNTON, having
left here about 80 years ago, and in
the meantime had travelled extensive
ly, finally locating in Everett where
he conducted large shoe house. He
is survived by his second wife and
three children, three brothers and two
sisters as follows: John f., James
A., and Jacob A. Wehn and Mrs.

HowE's GREAT LONDON SHOWS
Stables a veritabIe Horse Fair..ken
lucky Thoroughbreds to the Front.

To select the kind of horses which
have given Howe's Great Shows a
national reputation for having the
finest horses Of any show on earth,
much time, intelligence, patience and
perseverance was required. For the
baggage and heavy work the Perch.
eron type of draft horse was selected
and for the hippodrome races was
chosen thirty cleancut Kentucky
thoroughbred runners Each yea1
new stock is selected. always from
the same breeds, and those that have
been SCARED, blemished or injured
are culled out.
The mating up of the different
teams is an object lesson to the eve,
uniformity Of size, color and style al
ways predominating. When to the
beautuiful black, dapple gray and bay
horses is added the cute Shetland pom
les, it is not strange that the lengthy
street parade OF the Howe's Great
London Shows is most imposing and
pleasing sight.
When Howe's London Shows exhi
bits here citizens will not only FIND
the circus and menagerie exceedingly
! worthy of their patronage, but they
will find that Howe's Horse Stables
compose veritable horse fair anC
they should always be visited. The
visit should not ask what becomes O,
these horses if they become crippled
as they will be displeased with the
answer, which is that they are fed tt
| the animals.
The big show comes to STAUN.

HOCkING VALLEY IN
HANDS OF RECEIVER
Chesapeake & Ohio Company
Now Controls the Road.

Columbus, o., May 16.-Judge E..
B. Kinkead of the Common Pleas
court decided today on every point
raised by Ralph Westfall and Harold
| D. Manningtcn, representing minority
| stockholders of the Hooking Valley
Railroad Company, against that COM
plny ami place the railroad i'll the
hands of former Attorney General
John NJ. Sheets and Henry J. Booth,
both of Columbus as receivers in bonds
of $500, 900 each This was done on a
petition filed April Is, asking for a
receiver and for an injunction re-
straining the retirement of SIS, 0OO, :
600 of preferred stock proposed by the
new owner of the majority OF the
stock, the Chesapeake and Ohio Rail
road Company.
The action is the result OF fight
begun by the independent coal opera
tors of Ohio nearly two years ago to
break up the community of interests
between the Hooking Valley Company
and Toledo and Ohio Central Railroad
Company, the Kanawha and Michigan
Railroad Company, the Sunday Greek
Coal Company and many subsiding
coal mining companies. Recently
these properties were distributed by
sale, the Toledo and Ohio Central 60
ing to the Lake Shore, and the Hook
ing Valley to the Chesapeake and
Ohio The old opponents then asked
for an injunction against this sale.
Judge Kinkead holds that the Chesa-
peake and Ohio may hold the Hooking
Valley stock as an Investment, but
cannot exercise the rights Of stock
holder by voting it.

Fighting Insect Pests

Blacksburg, Va, May 16.-At thi
time fruit growers, gardeners ant
truckers are beginning to dread til,
ravages Of insects and diseases OF
their crops. 1t is estimated that 8
single insect-the Cooling Moth
causes loss of nearly million dol.
lars year to Virginia fruit growers.
Right now the striped beetle is de.
stroying thousands of plants of Gu
cumbers and melons; the fire blight
is blasting the twigs of apple, pear
and ounce; beans are beginning to
rust" and SO on down the list; A
little later will come the currant
worm the leaf spot, the potato bug
and host of grea ter or lesser pests.
However free from all these troubles
crops were fifty years ago, as our
fathers relate, the fruit grower and
trucker Of today must wage constant
warfare against them.

Pests and Diseases" by II. L. Price

tural Experiment Station, Blacks
burg, has just been received. The

148 pages, all the most common insect
pests and diseases of Virginia crops
are described, and treatment suggest
ed, based upon the latest results OF
experiments and experience. There is
also discussion Of spray appliance
and spraying methods. 1t should be in
the hands of everybody who grows
plants. 1t is sent free on applications

Monterey, Va, May l2.-The direc
tors of the First National Bank O
Monterey engaged the services of vii
son and Pullen, public accountants O.
Richmond, Va, to make an examina
tion Of the banks affairs, and Mr.
Pdllen has finished his work.
He reports the bank to be in flour
ishing condition.
The administrators, of the late Jared
A. Jones, appeared before the board
of supervisors yesterday, prepared with
certified checks, to settle in full the
treasurers accounts for the year 1909.
They were represented by Mr.. Hugh
Kerr of STAUNTON and MI. B. H.
Hiner of Franklin, w. Va.
The Commemorative Attorney, EN-
ployed the services of Mr.. James Buc-
hanan Stephenson, of Harrisonburg,
to assist him.
The settlement was made, in full
with the exception of the matter of
commissions.
The administrators claimed per
cent commission, but the Common
wealths attorney disputed the claim.
At his suggestion to allow the
estate onlyF3 per cent and give the
new treasurer the remaining 2 per
cent, the board of supervisors sided
with him.
The administrators claim that the
law provides for an extra fcompensa-
ton of 2 yer cent for the incoming
treasurer, which is no part of the 3
per cent allowed the outgoing treas
lrer.
After haggling over this 2 per cent,
which involved only small amount,
the CONFERENCE.-The Attorney, ap-
pealed to the Supervisors to allow Mr.
Stephenson fee of $780, The Board
allowed the claim. This action has
intensified the local feeling. Mr..
Kerr and Mr. Hiner each paid beauti-
full tribute to the late treasurer's life
and character.

OFFERS To TAKE
DIVORCED WIFE
Correspondent Named in English
Separation Case Writes an
Amazing Letter

LONDON, June lit don't think
have ever read a more remarkable
letter during the whole of my long
experience in this court" was the
comment of Mr.. Bernard, X. c.. on a
missive in divorce suit recently. The
letter was written by William Walden,
director of a Liverpool firm of gen.
eral merchants, who was cited as CO.
respondent in an action brought by
William Tracy, the chief steward on
the Cunarder Campania.
1t was addressed to Tracy after he
had discovered that his wife had mis-
conducted herself with Walden, and
ran:
"Sir: Allow me to address myself
at some length. 1t concerns Clara,
your present wife. 1 have done you a
great injury which will take life
times repentance to wipe out. First
of all, I wish to assure you that l love
Clara dearly and shall consider myself
the happiest man on earth when the
time arrives for me to claim her as
my wife before all the world. To illus
trate my feelings, it is necessary to tell
you the story, which l hope you will
not like the less because it is true
one.
Last Saturday night at about
o'clock arrived at your house and
while Clara went in 1 waited outside.
1 heard a childs voice calling: Nam
ma! Mammal in such plaintive tre-
mors that 1t went straight to my heart.
That child's cry has haunted me ever
since. 1 cannot sleep at night; 1 can
not attend to my business during the
day. 1t rings constantly in my ears.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN WAS A
GERMAN, ASSERTS WRITER
Martyr Presidents Ancient Name
Was Linkhorn

BERLIN, June 1.-THE question of
Abraham Lincoln's lineage as a new
theme of discussion Is presented to Ger
man historians and biographers by
Henry Urban, a German writer, who
declares that the accepted version of
the great emancipator's ancestry Is err
roneous. In an article in Der Tag Herr
Urban affirms that Lincoln was not of
English, but of German descent.
Citing as evidence the results of re-
searches conducted recently by Ger
man-American investigators, Herr Ur-
ban comes to the conclusion that 1t is
"as good as proved that Lincoln was
descended from German family
named Linkhorn. Abrahams grand
father he says, bore this name, which
belonged to a family of German settlers
who originally lived in Pennsylvania,
but removed to Virginia, finally settling
in Kentucky.
Herr Urban notes that the discovery
is especially gratifying and important
just now, when Germans everywhere
are awakening to new feeling of ma
tional consciousness and are bent on
claiming credit for the great men who
contributed largely to Americas de-
velopment, but who gradually have be-
come marked in history with the
stamp of Anglo-Americanism."
