Wheeling Majority. =
Dear Friend:
Il now take the pleasure of answer
ing your letter ard am glad that M.
M. N. .eely is seeing where Judge Day
ton is in the wrong, and I hope he
keeps the investigation upAuntil the
judge gets impeached.
Well, Walter, I got up feeling blue
this morning, but a Wellsburg Herald
got to me some way, and l picked it
up and saw where most of the strike
breakers had quit the mine there and
joined the union, and when l saw that,
the blueness all left and l have been
feeling good ever since
One thing I have against this place
is that you don't get to run around as
much as did at home, but should
worry about that, when the people at
home are doing good work.
My conscience will never forgive
Judge Dayton for giving me two
months in this place, but l guess it
is not hurting me anyrfor l guess
these jails were made for men and
not for animals. It seems the govern
ment is getting awful good to us.
They are not satisfied with us loafing,
so tehy are payin gour board. Amt
that nice.
would like to ask Judge Dayton

interests OF the toilers of West Vir-
ginia, for he knows the facts.

this happens what victory 1T will be
for the poor miners OF West Virginia!
Let me inform you that only q few

a day, mule drivers who ought to be-
receiving 1884 q day, get $3.50 for 10

Judge Dayton that conditions were
better in non-union fields than in un-

by another Washingtonian. the sales
man was interviewed one evening Tho
truth was related by him on the prom
Use being given that neither his name
nor identity would ever be divulged. The
whole story has since been authenti-
Gated by a London correspondent
The narrative really begins with the
mad infatuation of the head of the
radical element, the middle-aged Col.
Maschin. for the beautiful Draga Mas
chin. his brothers widow. The girl
was still young. having been married
at sixteen to the man who maltreated
her. On the strength of his brutality
she obtained a divorce from young
Maschin, the engineer dying soon after.
Left a widow without means. her
brother-in-law. the dashing and con-
ceited army officer, attempted to force
his attentions upon her. Draga, un-
wisely as it proved, indignantly spurned
his offers of assistance, thereby chang
ing his infatuation into a vindictive
and relentless hate, which followed the
victim of his unrequited passion to the
hour of her death, a hate which showed
itself in all it's malignity even toward
her dead body.
All the world was shocked 10 learn
by the ca BILE dispatches of the Ser
Wan revolution" and the violent re
moval of the weak King Alexander
and his hated and ignoble Queen
Draga" on June IL. 1903. But the man
ner of their removal is story which
even today cannot be spoken aloud in
Belgrade.
Col. Maschin's yindictiVe hatred OF
Draga, the penniless young teacher o.
French and music, was intensified when
she became lady in waiting to Queen
Nathalie. He was driven wild with
jealousy and rage on ascertainine tina

expired some two hours later. Her daugh-
ter, who was severely injured, probably
saved her life by fainting and appearing
to be dead Of the entire party the aunt
and groom alone escaped injury. The as
sassins. with true Belgrade ferocity, not
content with numbering the prince, drew
their knives and stabbed the corpse again
and again. forty wounds being discovered
on the body.
The plan had been for the murderers to
