EDITORIAL APPETIzERs

Republican members of the House
Ways and Means committee unani-
mously favor prohibitive duty on
democratic wool harmony.
Another Iowa idea. The new Chris
tian political party of that state wants
the Ten Commandments made the
basis of all Congressional legislation.
That would be one sure way to lessen
the quantity.
We take it that the Ohio state Sena-
tor who, in a speech against bribery
prosecutions, shouted, ITO h-ll with
public OPINION" isn't figuring on re-
election.
It's fairly good guess that the
newspaper man who says Taft is in
clined to think free raw wool would
in the end be beneficial to our sheep
growers isn't working for his renomi-
alton.
Champ Clark is certainly being told
often enough, in print, that upon his
record as Speaker depends the fate of
his Presidential boom to make him
mighty careful about that record.
Democratic members of the House
may believe they're engaged in max
ing laws, but the average republican
Senator insists upon putting their eff
forts in that line in the make-believe
class.
AS the money of farmers is as good
as that of any other class, what do the
near-humorists expect to get out of
poking fun at their patronizing WASH
ington's highest priced hotels when
they have business with Congress.

cA|LDREM's DAY SERVICES

Greenville, July 19.-Children's
Day service was held at the Metho-
dist church here Sunday. The day
was ideal and a large crowd was
present. The program was carried
out under the direction of the sup
erintendent, ]. H. Clarke. Mrs. Will
bur Palmer and Mrs. w. T. Shultz
were at the organ.
The service was opened by the
entering procession of the school, the
members carrying the daisy chain
as they marched, and singing, "Sum-
mer Voices" The pastor then offer
ed payer which was followed by the
repetition of the Lords Prayer by
the School, and then the Doxology
was sung.
The program was made up of re-
citations and musical selections.
Some of those taking part were:
Mrs. Jenkins, the wife of the pastor
and Misses Madeline Vines and Kath-
crime Thompson, and Ebert Brad
ley and Harry Moomaw.
Following the rendition of these
numbers the pastor addressed the
gathering, afterward joining with the
congregation in the singing of, 81

Me-" The benediction was pronounc-
ed by Rev. Mr.. Brook, of Baptist
church.

Many other able arguments were
submitted, which for lack of space,
cannot be gone into. The speaker
closed by insisting that prohibition

HOWARD L. WILSON DEAD
Was One Of Augusta. County's
Most Popular Citizens


The entire community was shock
ed Wednesday morning to hear of
the death of Mr.. Howard L. Wilson
of Snyder, for he was in the city
Saturday and then seemed to be
in perfect health. He was taken
sick Sunday and died at a. m.
Wednesday. Mr.. Wilson was in his
sixty-frst year. He leaves a wife,
who was Miss Eliza Waldrop, of Nor
folk, and one daughter, Miss Mary
Waldrop, both of whom are now
quite sick, also four sisters and one
brother.
Mr.. Wilson was probably the best
known man in this section of the
country. He was prosperous farm
er and dairyman and took a lively
interest in all affairs along those
lines: He was the president of the
Augusta Creamery and had spent
much time in making that company
a success. Mr.. Wilson was a devot-
ed member of Hebron church.
One of his neighbors remarked on
hearing of his death: Ellis place in
the -neighborhood and in Hebron
church will be hard to fill for he was
a useful man in every department of
life.''
His home was known for it's cor
dial hospitality, the family keeping
always an open house where the
stranger was as sure of a welcome
as friend. The funeral will be
held at Hebron church this after
noon at o'clock.

GIRLS BODY FOUND
At MOUNTAIN BASE
Mysterious Circumstan ces
Surround Death OF, Young
Woman at Clifton Forge
HER LOVER ARRESTED
Edward Hall Tells Strange Tale OF
Suicide Pact Entered Into By
Him and Dora Nicely

Clifton Forge, July 19.-At the
foot of the big mountain across
Jackson River from Clifton Forge
and within a few hundred yards OF
the corporate limits the body of Dona
Nicely, a young white woman, was
found with two bullet wounds in the
back of her head. She is supposed
to have met her death between 8
and Z O'Clock this morning, but by
Just what means has not yet been
determined.
Shortly after the finding of the
body a warrant was sworn out by the
authorities of Allegheny county and
Edward Hall, twenty years old, was
placed under arrest, and is now in
Jail in Covington. The cOroner's
jury was undecided as to where to
fix the blame, but as the pistol found
near the girls body was known to
belong to Hall this circumstance
justified his being held on suspi-
cion. Further than this, Hall and
the young woman are said to have
been together at carnival here last
night, and it is known that he has
been going with her for some time.
Suicide Pact
When arrested today Hall told the
officers that he and the girl had en-
tered a suicide pact, their intention
being to end their lives by hanging
themselves. The original plan mis-
carried, said the youth, and the girl
used the pistol.
Physicians who saw the body said
that the girl could not possibly have
shot herself in the part of the head
where the bullets entered. When dis
covered the body was lying PROSTATE
on the ground, the dead girls eyes up
turned, while her arms were folded
carefully across her breast. Hall
was found in bed at home, where his
mother tainted when the officers call
ed for him. He did not resist arrest
and seems inclined to treatthe whole
thing lightly.
Sister Killer Herself
A year ago the oldest sister OF
Dora Nicely ended her life, and not
long ago the victim of today's trag-
edy attempted to kill herself by
drinking carbolic acid. This was
the second young woman to meet a
mysterious death in this city in the
past months.

New York. July 19.@Richard S.
Ryan, promoter of the Controller
Bay railroad, while preparing to go
to Washington today in answer to a
subpoena issued by the House COM
mittee investigating the Alaskan
controversy, made a fiat denial that
he had written the ''Dick to Dick"
letter. Mr.. Ryan said he did not
know President Taft's brother nor
did he know former Secretary of the
Interior Ballinger well enough to ad-
dress him except by his formal title.
Mr.. Ryan said that the firm he
was Identified with had no connec-
ton with the Guggenheim interests,
either directly or indirectly, so far
as he knew.
I'VE want land in Alaska that we
were willing to improve at our own
expense" said Mr.. Ryan, and there
was nothing to suggest a grab in our
proposition.
