away. Four bridges in a mile were
out. This was the fault OF our of

The writer has been pretty much
all over this county during the past
month. One thing that impressed
him as he looked out OF the car
window is. the tremendous apple
crop this season.
Little attempt seems to be made
to scientific or extensive fruit grow
ing in this county with few excep-
tons, but those farmers who had
the forethought and the good judg-
ment TO set out fruit trees in past
years. and to take proper care of
them, are now being abundantly re-
warded for their labor and trouble.
1t is well known that West vir-
ginia is one OF the best fruit grow
ing states in the country It's apples
and peaches are unexoelled. The
quality is fine and the prices are
good. Wayne county, already first in
tobacco and second in corn should
also hold high rank as producer
of fruit State Enterprise

Outdoor Life.

1t is very certain that all the
physical universe takes the side of
health and activity, wooing us forth
unto nature, imploring us hourly,
and in unsupported ways, to receive
her blessed breath into body and
soul, and share in her eternal youth.
For this are summer and winter,
seed-time and harvest given; for this
do changing sunsets make yon path
,.ween the pines gateway into
heaven; for this does day shut us
down within the loneliness of its
dome of light, and night, lifting It,
make us free of the vast fellowship
of stars; for this do pale meteors
wander nightly, soft as wind-blown
blossoms, down the air; for this do
silent SHOWS transform the wintery
woods to feathery things that seem
too light to linger. and yet too vast
to take their flight; for this does
all the fair creation answer to ev-
cry dream or mood of man, so that
we receive but what we give, All
is offered to us to call us from our
books and our trade. and summon
us into natures health and Joy. To
study. with the artist, the least OF
hel BEAUTIES; to explore. with the
man OF science. the smallest of her
wonders: or even simply to wander
among her exhaustless resources.

Sensation Before Committee.

Merrill Mccormick, of Chicago,
sprung sensation before the Clapp
committee yesterday when he read a
prepared statement touching upon
the assassination of Colonel
Roosevelt, declaring it had
been melted by "falsehoods of char
acter assassins and liars like Charles
D. Hilles."
"It is difficult for an ordinary man
in the compass Of ordinary language
to compete with the testimony OF
character assassins and liars like Mr..
Hilles-men who, by their false
hoods incite weak-minded men to ac-
tual assassinations," was the passage
which brought out storm of protest
from the committee, in which Chair

President Madero S t i | |
Clings To His
Post.
HAND STRENGTHENED
Latest Revolt Not Believed to be as
Serious at at First Reported-Bat-
tie Expected.

Jaurez, Mex, Oct. 19.-That the Di-
az uprising at Vera Cruz now seems
unlikely to fulfill it's early promise o.
speedy success throughout Mexico was
indicated by many messages from the
southwark today.
Presndent Madero continued to cling
tightly to the chief executives post
instead of fleeing the capital at 1t was
predicted he would do. Congress en-
dorsement of his administration de-
manded from his opponents for the
restoring of his entire cabinet has
also greatly strengthened his hand.
Though there were reports Of mu-
tiny of federal soldiers in Mexico City,
news that martial law there and of
the arrest of Diaz supporters IL the
city suggested that the revolt could
not have been so serious. Railroad
communications with the capital was
indeed cut off and the DiaZ force
was reported only twenty miles dist
ant early today, but it was conjectured
here that the ex-president's nephew
will be too fully occupied with the de-
fense of Vera Cruz, against which
the fedcrals were concentrating
strongly to land an attack on Mexico
City at present.
Even in Vera Cruz Maderists point
out, Diaz must have had many oppo-
nents Or last nights street fight, il
which it was said seventeen Madero
demonstrators were killed by the Diaz
forces would not have occurred.
General Diaz's preference, il the
choice Of his advisors, for men who,
though they hate Madero, would still
more bitterly oppose Diaz's return
to power, in his place.
A battle at Vera Cruz was momen-
tarily expected today.

SANITARY INSPECTION.

Stands.

DR.. James J. Garvey, deputy health
officer, of Alexandra, commenced an
inspection of the various lunch rooms
and fruit stands of Alexandria yes
terday morning to see if they COM
piled with the health law which was
recently passed by city council. He
found that the law was not being
obeyed in many cases, especially
those sections relating to protection
from flies and the covering of gar
bage cans. Notice was given to the
owners of several places that they
would be given until Monday night
to remedy the conditions.
DR.. Garvey will resume the inspec-

ROOSEVELT WILL CO
T0OYsTER BAY
Former President Will Be
Taken From Hospital
Monday Morning.
CONDITION is BETTER.
Recovery, it is Said, Will be Hastened
by Early Removal-Patient Passes,
Crisis.

Chicago, Oct. 19.-Col. Roosevelt
physicians announced this morning
that he would be taken from Mercy
Hospital to Oyster Bay at 1925 a
M, Monday on "a hour train of the
Pennsylvania railroad.
AT 9:15 a. M, the physicians at,
tending the colonel issued the follow,
ing bulletin:
"Pulse sc temperature SO and res.
piration 20.
Breathing easier, resting well, ger
eral condition satisfactory, and con-
valcscing rapidly.
Murphy, Bevan, Lambert, Terrell
1t had been originally planed and
it was the program up until late this
morning, to have Roosevelt leave on
Tuesday.
The examination of the colonel to-
day, however, led the physicians to de
eide that his condition was so salts
factory and that his anxiety to be at
home at Oyster Bay so great that his
recovery would be FASTENED by the
earlier removal. The colonel was
very insistent that he be allowed his
own way and Mrs. Roosevelt and the
physicians finally yielded. Owing to
his day time departure and the pu-
blicty that will necessarily accom-
pany it, large detail of police will
be asked for by Mr.. Harrison and
the crowd be kept at a respectful dis
tance, in order not to excite the pa
tient or to let him make speech.
Colonel Roosevelt spent the most
comfortable night since he was shot
and awoke at 7 a. m, today with the
remark that he still felt "bully." His
statement was borne out this time BY
the clinical record of the morning
which was: Pulse 72; temperature
90 and respiration IS, all being nor
NAL.
The physicians are agreed that the
colonel has safely passed the crisis
of his tro9ble and that every hour
will now find him more rapidly ad-
vancinr towards complete recovery.
Noon yesterday was the point TO-
ward which and from which the doc
TORS based their calculations. Up to
that time the Colonel's condition was
largely matter of conjecture as the
hnllet wound was not old enough to
wsrrant any precise forecast as TO
wbet would be the result OF it.
