Considerable political significance.

such. is attached TO the fact that FIVE
prominent local Democrats departed
az $50 O'Clock last night on y a. o.
train No. 4. known as the St. Louis

composed OF General T. S. Riley. Col
y. Bernard Handlan. Archie w. PAUL.
James w. Ewing and George J. Mathi-
son. Though an effort was made TO
surround the trip with the utmost Sc
crecy. II is believed their destination
is Washington. D. C., and their mis-
sion is in the interests of the candida
cy of General Riley for appointment
as United States District Attorney for
the Northern District Of West Vir-
ginia, succeeding Roy A. Waugh. OF
Petersburg. whose term soon ex-
pires
II Is understood the appointment OF
Mr.. Waugh's successor will be made

The fight for the position has
grown 10 proportions exceeding
friendly rivalry. and promises 10 pre-

embarrassment. Lord B~eachcombe's

himself, greeting the new arrival with

Lord B~eachcombe did not attempt to
rectprocate. The wound he had re-
ceived from Sir Geoffrey's sword was
slight enough to be patched up with a

Geof1rey. pressing several impassioned
kisses upon Prue's reluctant hand. hade
