ing Extradition.

HUNTINGTON, Nov 7.-Assetting
that they are not fuglayes from JUS
tice and that If there was a crime
committed in connection with the
death of Carlton Simms Of whose
murder they ste Id accused in cabela
county, It was within the Jurisdiction
OF Ohio, Hiram and Albert Lock-
hart are making vigorous night
against extradltion. Represented by
A. R. johnson, former congressman.
and one OF the leading lawyers OF
southern Ohio they are pushing the
petition Tor a. writ OF habeas corpus
which was ailea Friday afternoon.
Chief OF Police Sam Davis ana
Prosecuting attorney Jean F. Smith
are in Ironton this afternoon to at
tend the hearing OF the application
which they, as officers OF West = r-
glnia, are opposing.
The questions raised by the Lock-
harris are technical and the fneness
of the Jurisdiction contention makes
the AFFAIR all the more interesting.
The West Virginia authorities con-
tend that their Jurisdiction extends
to the low water mark on the Ohio
side of the river.
Counsel for the Lockharts main
tain that the two states have con-
current Jurisdiction over the river as
far as criminal matters are concerned.

Adamston Woman Dies after
Long Illness of Typhoid
Fever.

Mrs. Nellie Jane Kidd, wife of Al
drich c. Kidd, died at the home OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Presley NJ. Kidd, on
High street, Adamston, Monday
night at 1890 o'clock after a long
Illness of typhoid fever.
Mrs. Kidd is the third of her FAM
lily to die within the last ten months.
cldrksburgers will remember that
about ten weeks ago Clinton Layman
was injured when an engine struck
wagon he was driving across the
Baltimore and Ohio tracks in the
West End and he died several days
later in local hospital.
His father at the time was con-
fined to his bed with severe case
of typhoid fever, and when the
news OF his sons death was broken
to him, he began to get weaker and
two days later he died. It is
thought by her friends that tho
worry over the death of her father
and brother caused the Illness from
which she died.
The deceased woman is survived
by her husband, two weeks old
baby, two brothers and two sisters.
The husband. and the two brothers,
Rufus and LYDIA, of Rosemont, were
at her bedside when the end came.

LIFE and DEATH STRUGGLE
is PROCLAIMED BY CHINA
FREE MAIL DELIVERY
HERE TO BE EXTENDED
Provided Residents and Sub
urbs Comply with Ruling
of Department.

Edward /. Allen, OF Parkers-
burg, postoffice inspector, is spend
ing a week here looking into the
practicability of extending the FREQ
delivery mail service to adjacent
territory, where there, are good
sidewalks and houses numbered
Residents of stealey Heights, Hay
mond Heights and other suburbs OF
the city have peltioned the postof-
fee department at Washington for
this service.
Inspector Allen finds that neither
the city nor Broad Oaks has street
signs posted at intersections of
streets, which the department re-
quires and he states that the depart.
ment will not extend the delivery
to any house unless the house has a
slot cut in the door or box erected
by the door outside the house as a
depository for mail delivered BY
carrier.
The new ruling of the department
is to save time as under the old sys.
TEN the carrier was required to ring
a door bell or knock on the door for
occupants Of the house to appear for
mail. Mr.. Allen states that any
kind of box will answer the pur-
pose. He emphasizes the fact that
the department will require the city
to post the names OF streets at their
intersections.
The department order concerning
mail boxes or receptacles reads as
follows:
By direction of tho postoffice de-
partment, the attention of the pa
irons of this office is invited to the
advantages of providing facilities for
the receipt of their mail by erectinA
conveniently accessible boxes or
cutting suitable slots in their doors.
Such action would enable the post
master to give a prompter and bet
ter delivery service with the means
at his disposal. since the carriers
can cover much more territory I'M
less time if not compelled to wait
for answer to their ring. Private
receptacles for mail are also a great
convenience to the householder, OBJ.
waiting the necessity of responding
to the carriers call at ~inconvenient
moments and permitting the safe
delivery of mail in the absence of
members of the household. They
also prevent the occasional necessity
of a carriers proceeding on his
route without delivering mail be-
cause OF failure to answer his ring
within a reasonable time, and en-
able him to make delivery TO patrons
living on or near the end of the
route at an earlier hour.
1T has been shown by actual ex-
perience that the benefits derived by
patrons OF city delivery from the
use of such receptacles far outweigh
the small expense involved. As
this office is interested in furnishing
the best possible service at the least
expense, your compliance with the
foregoing suggestions will be much
appreciated.

GREAT ATTENDANCE
is NOW LOOKED FOR
AT Big Road Congress to Be
Held in the City Of
Richmond Soon.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. S.--,Ad-
vanced views on the subject of road
Improvement and the relation of good
roads to national progress and pros
perity, viii mark President Tafts ad.
dress at the first Congress OF the
American Association for HIghwey
Improvement to be held at Richmond
November t20-23.
The foremost engineers, road OIL
Gals, traffic experts, legislators, rail-
road officials, manufacturers, con-
tractors and agriculturists who have
been devoting their attention to the
problems Of road construction, main
tenance and administration, will be
brought together at Richmond.
In the field Of road construction, in
tricate problems have arisen to puzzle
farmers as well as automobiles, es-
pecially with regard u the adaptation
OF construction to meet the destructive
effects OF modern traffic.
Director Logan Waller Page. OF the
United States office Of public roads,
has made various experiments which
have shown the best types OF road for
the various kinds OF traffic, but the
results OF these experiments ore not
generally known throughout the va
rious states. Mr.. Page, who aside
from his official position at the head
of the government Office of public
roads, is the president Of the Amerl-
can Association for Highway I'm
provemcnt, will tell something of
these experiments at the road con-
gress.
Announcements Of equal impor-
lance will be made By road officials
of the various states who expect 10
find profit in an exchange Of views.
Every state in the union is vitality in
terested in the road building and
maintenance problem ana practically
every state will be represented either
by Its governor or some other high
official. Road officials Of most all the
states likewise will be present.
Road maintenance has been almost
entirely neglected in the United
States, with the result that deteriora-
ton of the best constructed roads rep
resents preventable loss aggregate
ing millions OF dollars annually.
Just now there is tendency to-
wards remedial action looking to the
adoption of continuous and syste-
matte maintenance and the great road
congress at Richmond is expected to
coordinate this part Of the road
movement, and help to bring about
better maintenance Of roads through
out the country.
1t is also expected that efforts will
be made to develop moro uniformity
in legislation passed by the various
state legislatures and to show the ad-
vantages OF bond issues for road
building and maintenance.
The official program, Just an
nounced. includes National Day" at
which President Taft will be the
principal speaker. Among tho other
speakers on this day Will be Governor
Mann. OF Virginia; Dr. Walter Page.

{ GCTI()N
OF Republican as Governor
of Maryland Now Seems
a Certainty.

Election returns from a number
of states today clear up uncertain-
ties apparent in last nights late
reports. Governor Foss, Democrat,
is reelected in Massachusetts by a
largely decreased plurality. All the
other state officers are Republican.
Returns from New Mexico indicate
that the Democrats carried the state
but the legislature which will elect
two United States senator's looks
Republican. In Ohio the principal
cities elected Democratic mayors,
and the Socialists made gains.
James Bennett McCreary is elected
governor of Kentucky and Repre-
sentative Ollie James will be sent to

Jersey replaced Democratic general
assemblies by Republican assem-
blies. The Democrats elected the

TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS
Indian Runner Ducks.

The Indian Runner ducks are very
easily and quickly raised, being nearly
full size at eight or ten weeks Of age.
If Matched early and well cared for
they win lay in the fall and make
good layers until five or six years Of
age and will lay as well as any chick
en- hen, and there is much less labor
In caring for them. They are not sub
ject to disease and do not have lice
or mites, which is quite an item in
poultry raising.
Indian Runner ducks are to the duck
family what the Leghorns are among
the chickens. The large pure white
eggs are characteristic of the breed as
the white eggs are of the Leghorns.
Green eggs are certain proof Of i'm
purity. Hollis Fawn and white strain
are everlasting layers Of white eggs
and are great money makers. They
are great layers and small eaters,
which is a very desirable trait. They
can be Matched as late as September
and get their growth and be ready to
lay before cold weather When they
are properly fed and cared for they
will begin to lay at the age Of four
months and will lay continuously.
Their eggs are fine for culinary pur-
poses and will sell for 3 to ) cents
more per dozen than hens eggs.-Farm
and Ranch.

KEEPING POULTRY
LICE IN CHECK
Dust Baths Should Be Provided
and Houses Sprayed.

lice may be found on the bodies Of
foGls at all seasons of the year. They
multiply very rapidly in warm wealth
er, and it is then that the greatest
harm IS wrought.
There are several insect enemies of
poultry-lice. mites and feas. 1t is
the red hen mite which is worse than
all the others combined. This minute
creature increases at a remarkable
rate when measures are not taken to
keep it In check, and hens viii not
lay nor chickens grow when their life
blood is being sucked by this pest.
Dust Is fatal to almost all insects,
especially the soft bodied ones. The
fowls should therefore be provided
with a dust bath at all times, as this
Is the method nature has given them
OF keeping at bay their insect enc
mics. Dry and finely pulverized earth
Of any kind, also coal ashes from
which the ciEders have been sifted,
may be used for the dust bath. Wood
ashes should never be used, as the
alkaH In them is likely to injure the
fowls.
A thorough drenching Of the poultry
house with kerosene emulsion to which
little crude carbolic acid has been
added win prove very effectual against
tho red mites If done every week.
Ordinary melted lard is good in de-
strOying lice on the bodies Of fowls
and chicks, but should not be used too
freely.
When setting hens it is never ad-
visable to apply any grease to their
bodies, but they may be busted with
some good insect powder, while the
nests nay be busted with powdered
lime or sulphur. As soon as sitting
hen comes of the nest should be burn
ed out and fresh nest material sup
piled. At all seasons Of the year it is
a good plan to burn out all nests every
four or five weeks.
