One night last October, while the good ship Senator was steam ing from Nome to Seattle with the social hall of her third-class passengers crowded with bolster ous, good natured miners, some one turned deck hose through an open skylight into the midst of the party. As the sea water sloshed over the group panic fell on them. Some one shouted hre,' and the crowd instantly charged toward the ladder lead ing to the upper deck. J.F.Kelly was standing in the way. No one thought of walking around him, so they walked over him. Kelly went down, and the hob nailed boots of forty miners climbed the length of him.
 Twice Kelly managed to rise, only to go down again beneath the boots of the milling miners. When the excitement subsided, Kelly brushed off his clothes and announced that some one was going to pay for using him as a door mat Recently a jury in Judge Tallman's department of superior court gave him a judg ment of $25o against the Pacihc Coast Steamship company, own CTS of the Senator.-Seattle Post lntelligencer.

was peculiarly gifted in music, of which
she was passionately fond. She was
student of both piano and violin and was
very beautiful performer on both of
these instruments, and in addition to
the instruction received from one of the
best local musicians she was carrying a
correspondence course with the Sher-
wood School of Music She was of a
quiet, lovable disposition and was
mature in thought beyond her years.
She had for years been a member of the
First Presbyterian Sunday school of
Fairmont, and was to have been receiv-
ed into the communion of that church
on Easter Sunday, the day of her death.
Her last illness was of but eleven days
duration, and the whole community was
shocked when it was known that she
had passed to her Heavenly home. All
that skillful physicians and loving hands
could do was done for her, but all in
vain. Many were the expressions of
personal loss because of her death,
while the floral tributes presented by
friends were numerous and beautiful.
Services were conducted in the home in
Fairmont Monday evening by Rev.
Stoetzer of the Presbyterian church,
and Rev. Goodwin of the First M. E.
church, On Tuesday morning the re-
mains swere brought to Oakland, ac-
companied by the stricken parents and
number of the friends of the family,
where lnterment was made. Rev. J,
b. Workman, pastor of Diamond st.
NJ. E. Church, Fairmont, came with
the family and conducted the service at
the grave, he having officiated at the
funeral of the older sister while yet
pastor OF st. Paul's church in Oakland.
A large company of the friends and
of the family met the funeral
party at the Oakland depot and were
present at the interment.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ferguson have the pro-
found sympathy of their many friends
here as we'll as in Fairmont.

]. N. DAVIS & SONS DIS
POSE Of THEIR STOCK
Was Sold In Bulk To Mr.. Charles N.
Mclntire, Of Thomas, W. Va.

With the selling of their stock of
goods in bulk on Tuesday of this week
the old and well known firm of Messrs.
j. M. Davis & Sons, the senior member
of which has been continuously engaged
in business in Oakland for more than
sixty years, passed out of existence and
the new owner of the business, Mr.,
Charles N. McIntire, of Thomas, West
Va, an experienced hardware dealer,
has taken charge and will become one
of Oakland's permanent residents.
AS above stated Mr.. John M. Davis.
the senior member of the retiring firm
has been identified with the business
life of Oakland for more than half a
century, first associatlng himself with
the late James R. Bishop and later
forming partnership with the late
S. L. Townshend, which continued for
many years. Some thirty-two years
ago the firm of J. NJ. Davis & Son was
established and hardware store open
ed in the old Republican building on
Liberty street. Later the goods were
removed to the present store building,
which was greatly enlarged and in which
the business grew and was firmly estab-
lished through the efforts and ability of
the individual members of the concern.
Several years ago Mr.. John W. Davis,
Youngest son of Mr.. John NJ. Davis was
taken into the firm and the name was
changed to }. M. Davis & Sons. But
on account of advancing years coupled
with intirmities due thereto and the eX-
pressed wish of the head of the concern
that matters be closed up, it was de-
termined three weeks ago. to offer the
stock for sale as whole or at retail
Seeing the possibilities and the open
ing afforded by the retirement from
business of the well known house,
MIR. Mclntire made an investigation
and after coming to Oakland and
looking the ground over one day
last week, he returned to Oakland
Monday and on Tuesday closed the deal
and is now engaged in making an IN
ventory of the stock of goods and fix
lures preparatory to reopening the
store which was closed Immediately
after the agreement was reached.
Mr.. Mclntire has been successfully
engaged in business at Thomas for a
number of years and is we'll known by
many Garrett CONTAINS, especially
those who reside in the southern section
of the county and whose business often
took them to Thomas. He will conduct
the business personally and is an affable
gentleman who will make an effort to
treat everyone with that courtesy due
them.
Mr.. John W. Davis will follow agri-
cultural pursuits fa- the present. All
have the best wishes of the Republican
for success.

SOME time ago a Cumberland paper
came out with the announcement that
Mr.. John J. Stump, of Cumberland, had
been appointed political agent in
Allegany county for Mr.. Gist Blair.
Mr.. Stump is the leading whisk Key dealer
in the Queen City and as such naturally
opposes dry legislation. hence he is
against Senator Speicher. Occupying
the position in busine SIS circles that he
does it is natural to presume that Mr..
Stump will throw his influence in favor
of wet candidate, and being the
political agent of candidate opposing
Senator Speicher he will just as natural
ly endeavor to carry Allegany county for
his favorite.

Asserts Speicher Is Strong Man In
The Contest.

To the Editor of The Republican,:
The political story published in the
Evening Times last evening, while no
marked as political advertisement by
any one of the candidates, was evident
ly Zihlman story designed to create
the impression that he and not Mr..
Speicher was the strong man in the
contest. While all other candidates are
summarilv disposed of in a paragraph,
the writer devotes nearly a whole
column in the story to prove that
Speicher is out of the running. The
story from its very argument proves
that Mr.. Speicher is Mr.. Zihlman's
chief opponent in Allegany county.
The man on the street, the man with
his ear to the ground, the POLITICAL
situation at once recognized man with
only casual interest in the fact that
Mr.. Zihlman's opponent here is Mr..
Speicher. The fight in Allegany coun-
ty is between Spelcher and Zihlman.
This is again a fight between the
"wets" and the ''drYs," the drys are
with Speicher to man, the vets are
scattered among Blair, Zihlman and
Weinberg. Not much is heard here of
Mr.. Kaufman. Mr.. Speicher will get
the dry votes and with the wet votes
divided. the writer of yesterdays story
surely has his dates mixed when he
fails to note that the fight here is actu-
ally between these two candidates.
The man who overlooks the rapid growth
and centralizing of the dry sentiment in
the Sixth district surely must be wan
dering in the dark. 1t is the great
question. The counties will go dry in
the November election and many of the
voters. already enough to nominate
Mr.. Speicher, will rally to him on May
