Bail Allowed In
Mcnamara Case

Roanoke. Va. Aug. 27.--Judge
King yesterday advised attorney re-
presenting AL Vest. Fred Mitchell.
John Clarke and Dennis Grady,
charged with the murder Of William
Mcnamara, that he will permit them
to bail in the sum Of $4,000. The
men probably will be baiied this
morning.
About the only new development
in the Mcnamara murder case Tues
day night was the receipt Of letter
by Chief Moore from Mary McNa-
mara, Of Chicago, making inquiries ~
to the identity Of the dead man. Facts
In the letter lead to the belief that
Mary Mcnamara IL the same person
referred to by Thomas McNamara, OF
Philadelphia, az his sister with
whom he left his brother William IN
New York thirty years ago. Mary
Mcnamara gives the further tnforma-
tion that the last time she heard OF
her brother was when he arrived In
this country from Australia. This
would seem to corroborate Mona
maras story that no had travelled
great deal.

TWO VETS SEEM SURPRISED.

The News Leader is greatly disturbed over
the fact that the temperance leaders of Virginia
should ask the people who desire to promote

termination OF the legalzed liquor traffic, and
considers It preposterons that such call for
funds should be made. What has the News
Leader said regarding the published, authori-
.ative and undenabIe fact that the liquor In

PREPARE FOR A LONG WAR.

Lord Kitchener, in an address To the British
parliament this week. told his people very plainly
and frankly that the present war may last for
three years. The early enthusiasm that hoped
for six weeks war or a months outing was

time Of our OWN unpleasantness 1876

Value of Local Option.

Editor Virginian:
Sir,-I see that the Richmond Evening Journal
charges the AntSaoon league, through It's rep
gesentative with a change of principles because
it formerly Endorsed local option and now favors
Statewide prohibition. Now, never heard that
the temperance people ever made point Of
local option" as principle" but think the at
ttude of either party may be best expressed in
this way The Anti-Saloon league valued local
option only as of getting saloons out
of the State The Local Self-Government league
values local option only as a means Of keeping
the saloons in the State.
