something along the line of the big
coal tower at the jamestown exposi-
ton has been taken up, and indica-
lions are that this, too, will be ac-
complished.
Arrangements are being perfected
by which first-class pictures of all the
states public buildings and institu-
lions will be made and nicely framed
and used to decorate the interior
walls of the state building. These, to-
gether with numerous photographs of
natural scenery throughout the state,
will be made the adornment of the
interior OF the states building.
A message received from the con-
tractor for the West Virginia building
on Saturday states that the building
is progressing very encouragingly and
will be under roof by the first of July.
The building will, in all probability,
be entirely completed and ready for.
the furnishings by the first of Noyem-
Der, possibly sooner.
Manufacturers and all others who
desire to make exhibits at this great
est of all expositions ever held in
America, should make immediate ap-
plication for space. All applications
should be filed on. or before the first
of August, and all exhibits should be
on their way to the exposition city
not later than November / except ex-
nibtts of perishable nature, which
may be sent later.
Many Letters received by the COM
mission indicates deep interest in
West Vtrgina's share in the exposl-
ton. At later date adequate illus
trations of the West Virginia STATE
building and its surroundings. togeth-
er with detailed description OF the
same, will be sent by the commission
to all the newspapers OF the state.

In the West Virginia Building of
the Worlds Fair at
San Francisco.

CHARLESTON, June 23.-At the
meeting of the West Virginia commits
sion to the Panama-Pacifc Interna-
tional Exposition, recently, in the
governors reception room, 1t was
practically decided that changes be
made In the West Virginia state
building so as to admit of moving
picture auditorium in which pictures
will be displayed Of hundreds of the
states leading industries, state and
city buildings, natural scenery, etc.
In accordance herewith the commits
sion ordered another meeting for
Wednesday, July 1, at which time a
number of the big moving picture
film companies will be in attendance
to make bids upon the work premedi-
tated. BY reason of the advertising
features connected with the moving
picture scheme 1t is assured that this
attraction will not cost the state a
penny. Indeed the chances are that
1t will be made more than self-sus-
tanning and the proceeds will help to
pay some part of the states expenses
at the exposition.
The work of interesting manufac-
lures, coal and oil men, agriculturists
and horticulturists in making credita-
Bile displays in the eleven big palaces
that are costing the exposition more
than million dollars apiece, is now
well in hand. and 1t is thought that
within the coming fortnight list of
exhibitors will be ready for publica-
ton. The matter of interesting the

INDIANA
Is Showing UpFine for Bio Re-
publican Victory at the
Fall Election.

WASHINGTON, D C., June %
Indiana, the old doubtful state, which
for years has been regarded as the
barometer of any approaching politi-
cal change, is pointing emphatically to
Republican victory this fall. Carried
by Republicans in recent years in
which they were successful, 1t swung
so strongly Democratic, two years ago,
that 1t wiped out the entire Republi-
can congressional delegation which
had been so prominent in the nations
affairs.
The recent primaries in the Hoosier
state tell palmer story than can we'll
be expressed in words of the direction
in which the Indiana political tide is
drifting and drifting rapidly. The
primary vote revealed almost startling
Republican gains and corresponding
Progressive and Democratic losses.
Perhaps The most significant feature
OF the result of the primaries this far
Is the terrific slump in the Bull Moose
vote. For instance, in Lake county,
in which is located the industrial city
of Gary, the Progressive vote dropped
from 1858 in 1912 to mere $50 in
this years primary. The Democratic
vote dwindled from 5,136 in 1912 to
$3.50, and the Republican vote in
creased from 5,176 to over 6,400.
Will H. Hays, the Indiana Republic
can chairman, reports that his advices
indicate widespread dissatisfaction
throughout the state, with present
conditions, not only in Industrial CEN
tiers, such as Gary, but throughout
the agricultural sections. For ex-
ample, in Lawrence county the Repub-
lican vote was nearly 400 greater in
the recent primary than 1t was in the
primary of 1912, and the primary in
1912 was held long before division
developed in the Republican ranks.
The Democratic vote in lawrence
county dropped of ninety per cent
compared with that of 1912.
Mr.. Hays reports that the Republi-
can primary in Henry, Randolph and
many other counties, which were lost
to the Republicans two years ago, are
large enough to return all of them to
the G. o. P. ranks this year by sub
stantial pluralities.

NEW BUSINESS FIRM
WILL OPERATE HERE
Central Supply Company Will
Do Both Wholesale and Re-
tail Business.

A new company has been organ
lied under the name of the Central
Supply Company, of this city. The
active members of the company will
be G. c. Finly, who will be general
manager, and NJ. N. Cutlip, who will
have charge of the sales department.
The concern is located in the old
Hornor=Gaylord building in the
Montpelier addition with private
switch which will enable 1t to unload
without the expense of hauling.
The new company will handle hay,
grain, mill feeds, wood fiber plaster,
plaster board, wall board, lath, sew
er pipe. leather betting, belt dress
ing, canvas betting, cordage, dump
wagons, buggies, lubricating oils, ce-
ment, sand, crushed rock, etc.
1t is the intention to put several
men on the road and work the trade
regularly throughout the central part
of the state, as wen as to do a retail
business locally. This will be an ad-
vantage to the local trade on ac-
count of its being able to offer at
tractive prices.
The company has already sold the
cement for the Fourth street bridge
which will require about forty car
loads.
The general manager, Mr.. Finly,
opened and conducted the West Vir-
ginia Business College OF this city
for eleven years and his large ac-
quaintance will doubtless enable them
to do nice business throughout the
central part OF the state.

KILLED
IN AUTO ACCIDENT
-umberman's Neck is Broken
and Brother is Hurt Near
PruntytoWn.

{ GRAFTON, June % - Hiram
Tucker, prominent Iumberman of
Pruntytown, was killed outright last
evening at $50 O'Clock. and his
brother, Charles, was badly hurt
when their automobile, in which
they were riding, overturned at a
point within two miles of their
homes.
The Tucker brothers had been to
Bridgeport, Harrison county, on a
business trip and were returning to
their homes last evening. In going
down a steep hill about two miles
out of Pruntytown,, 1t was noticed
that the brake on the machine did
not work good. The descent of the
hill was made all right and a good
distance was reached on the level
ground when the car gave a sudden
lurch and turned completely over.
The car was going at a fast rate OF
speed at the time of the accident,
and the driver was unable to control
1t on account of the brake failing to
work good. The roads were slippery
after the heavy showers during the
day, and this might have been par
TALLY the cause of the accident.
The two brothers were the only
occupant of the car. Hiram fuckers
neck was broken by getting caught
beneath the machine. Two men
along the roadside witnessed the ac-
cident and rushed to the aid of the
unfortunate ones. Charles Tucker
had one arm broken and he was 9TH
erwise bruised and injured.
The man who lost his life has a
wife and six children residing at
Pruntytown. The injured brother
has wife and four children.
