SPEAKS TO SMALL AUDIENCE.

Col. VIM. Inglis, of Seattle, who is
stumping the state in the interests OF
the republican ticket, wasebilied for a
speech in Oroville last Thursday even
ing. For some unaccountable reason
those in charge of making up the itin-
cry of political speakers have got into
the habit of sending in announcements
OF the coming of speaker about
twelve hours in advance Of the speaker
himself, and hence it is impossible to
give the matter sufficient publicity to
draw out crowd. Col. Inglis was
dOubly unfortunate in arriving here ON
the heels of his announcement and al
so striking the town upon date when
there was an attraction here that drew
heavily upon the population. A few
managed to assemble at the Civic
League building at a late hour ana
the colonel delivered a brief speech,
but he should have had a large aud
ience. Col. Inglis was colonel of the
End Washington, and there are several
ex-service men in town who served in
his regiment. The colonel also ran for
United States senator in the primary
election, and though he was defeated
he is not man to sulk in his tent. He
is lending all the aid in his power for
the success of the republican ticket in
this state.

GOV. HAkT In OROyILLE.

Gov. Louis f. Hart made flying
trip through the county Monday and
Tuesday. Unfortunately his time Is
very limited and he had to cover as
much territory as possible during tn,
few days at his disposal. Sunday wor0
was received that the governor woulC
arrive in Oroville on the train from
Wenatchee Monday evening, and as
that train reaches this place at 9:45
it was pretty late hour to expect a
crowd to attend public speaking.
Nevertheless there was far larger
crowd at the depot to greet the gov
ernor upon the arrival OF the train
than could have been expected, anu
as large a crowd as generally attend
public meetings in Oroville was at
the Civic League building when he
started in to speak at 10 o'clock. AS
an indication of the interest taken In
the speaker it may be stated that the
entire audience remained throughout
an address of an hour and a quarter.
Governor Hart is not an orator, but
plain, blunt man, who told of his rec
Oiu III publlC OillCe III pain, DlunL
way and made favorable impression
upon his hearers. Governor Hart was
among friends in an Oroville audience
for he has visited this place on other
occasions. He explained many things
about the various departments of the
state government and pointed out
where improvements could be made,
and which he proposed to recommend
to the next legislature, that would add
to the efficiency of the various depart
ments and at the same time save con-
siderable money to the state. He gave
an unvarnished report of his stewart
ship, a report that is borne out by
the records, and proved conclusively
to his audience that Governor Hart
has made good. He exploded the silly
sentiment that the expense of the gov
ernment had doubled under his admin
istratiOn by showing that he had no
voice whatever in state expenditures,
and furthermore that the appropria-
tions that had been spent were provid-
ed for by legislature that was in
session long before he was called to
the office ex-governor by the untimely
death of Governor Lister. Governo,
Hart is going to be elected governor a
week from next Tuesday, and Orovilre
is going to contribute large vote in
his favor to help out that happy event

DEMOCRATIC MEETING.

Mayor Fleming, of Spokane, demo-
cratic candidate for congress from the
Fifth district. is billed to speak in the
Civic League building Saturday even
ing. Everybody is invited to attend this
meeting by the democratic leaders in
Oroville. Mr.. Fleming is fluent talker
and personally a genial and pleasant
gentleman, and all parties should hear
what he has to say upon the political
issues Of the day. While this paper is
not supporting Mr. Fleming we feel
that if Dame Fortune is going to smile
upon his candidacy we would rather
see him elected to the office than any
other democrat we know.

Of the: newsboys' dinner given yester-

was the donation of services of Rose

in the whole city Of Fairmont. Rose
was all heart and soul for the dinner
yesterday because three fine little
colored fellows were represented
there. She said: "I1l just work all
the harder II you'll see my boys aren't
neglected. She watched anxious all
through the dinner hour, reminding
the young ladies who served, every
time they came into the kitchen. to be
sure and see her colored boys weren't
missing anything. Two OF these came
on good, strong feet, but the third is
a cripple and Rose herself sent a taxi
for him so that he might be happy

ment after the heaping plates of tur-
key and tixings were passed, leaning

Especial Dispatch to West Virginia. J
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 2.-Un-
less the police Of Washington can Sc
cure evidence sufficient TO hold them
longer, Joe Altemonte, of Farimont,
w. Va, uncle of Dominick Cuzzucoti,
also OF Fairmont, the murdered man,
and Santos Pinestri, both formally ac-
cused of the crime, will be ordered re-
leased from Jail here. Cuzzucoti's
body was found in a woods near the
old Bennings race track on December
l3; he was last seen alive in this city
on November Is. The opinion of the
Italians examined is that robbery, was
not the motive for the crime, and the
police share that opinion.
Discussing the investigation of the
murder mystery Inspector Grant to-
day said thatssmsinbers OF his force
had learned that Mrs. Altemonte had
accompanied Cuzzucotti, her nephew
to North Carolina early in November
and that Altemonte had returned from
Sorth Carolina. with them about No
vember 15t The three persons were in
this city about November is, accord
ing to what the detectives learned
and Altemonte and his wife returned
to Fairmont.
Cuzzuootti, it is stated, was not seen
alive after that day. although it was
not until December Is that his BODY
was found. 1t is the belief that the
man was taken to the country in an
automobile. but the identity OF the
driver of the Gag has not been estab-
lished.
The investigation developed that
Cuzzucotti had been arrested in West
Virginia for alleged illicit traffic in in :
toxicants and released on bond fur
nished by his uncle. Ii also was
learned that he had an account of $500
in a bank at Fairmont.
