THEY ARE FALLING FAST.

The administration and the famous
"Old Guard" in the Senate had another
serious setback last week, when Sem
ator Porter J. McCumber, OF North
Dakota, was beaten for denomination
by Lynn ]. Frazier, the candidate of
the Non-Partisan League and very
Independent gentleman so far as poll
tics is concerned
tics is concerned. He has fallen in
the same ditch into which Senator
New tumbled few weeks ago and
which is yawning for other stand pat
tiers. The progressive element in the
Republican party evidently means to
infuse new blood into Congress, no
matter who gets hurt.

Good Prices For Furniture.

Furniture, including tableware, the
accumulations of a half dozen genera
tons, was disposed of at public sale
on Tuesday by the Undertake heirs
at the home recently sold by them to
the Board OF Education in Charles
Town. Small articles in glass allured
bidders into yielding up fancy prices.
A blue glass rolling pin that had been
a parlor rather than a kitchen orna-
ment for many years sold for 500,
while cut-glasS water bottle worth
several dollars brought only 30 cents.
Bottles shaped like a log cabin, some
with four corners and others with three,
went to curio dealers at about one
dollar each, while a bellows-shaped
perfumery bottle reduced the purchas-
er's supply OF cash by $3.50 Cur
iously decorated furniture also proved
attractive to buyers An old settee
with decorations on the back support,
indicating its age at a century or more,
was purchased by Mrs. Henry w. Potts,
from near Shepherdstown, for $500.
Another settee with a cane seat and
similarly decorated, and a companion
set OF six cane-seat chairs, became
the property OF Mrs. F. L. Jordan, near
Charles Town, at a bid OF $4,000.
Mrs. Elizabeth Mackey was the sue
cessful bidder on Tiester bedstead,
the price being S27.00. A large ma
hogany sideboard was sought by many
bidders, who ran the price up to S16O,

ONE Strickland OUT.

The railway shop workers refused
to accept the cut in wages and certain
changes in rules promulgated BY the
United Statse Labor Board, and most
OF them went out on strike last Sat-
urday. They quit good Jobs under the
direction OF B. M. Jewell and other un-
wise professional union leaders, and
the probability is that they have plac-
ed themselves in mighty bad posi-
ton. The board has declared them out
lawed unions, which have forfeited all
r'GNts and privileges. The railroads
say that they will not be taken bacl,
except as new men under the new
conditions. This means that they have
lest their seniority privileges and other
rents and favors, and many of them
will be out Of work entirely.
Il is to be deplored that the work
'nPmen so blindly fellow their I'M
wise and unreasonable leaders-who as
rule lead them into more trouble

POLITICAL NOTES.

The fight for the Democratic NOM
ination for the United States Senate
from West Virginia will be between
Mrs. Izetta Brown, OF Kingwood, ard
Col. M. M. Nicely, OF Fairmont. For
mer Senator Chiffon decided last week
that he wosld not be a candidate. Col
onel Nicely is popular politician and
vote-getter, with large experience
in political affairs. On the other hand,
while Mrs. Brown is new in politics,
she has such a pleasing personality
that she will unqestionably get a
tremendous vote. II she shall be able
to make a reasonably complete canvass
OF the State she will probably win,
for her earnestness and attractive
method Of presenting her views ap-
peals with equal force to men and wo-
men.
Present Senator Howard Sutherland
and Editor H. G. Ogden, of Wheeling,
will fight to finish for the Republican
nomination for the Senate. Senator
Sutherland has made very excellent
record, and his services have been &C
ceptable to his constituents generally.
both Democratic and Republican. Mr..
Ogden has been preparing for this
campaign for number Of years, and
he is confident that this is the winning
hour for him. He is one Of the ablest
men in the State, is wealthy and ie-
sourccful, and will have strong influ-
ences in his favor. He has a sort OF
independence that makes him popular
with the progressive element Of his
party and is clear and logical thinker.
General A. A. Lilly, of Charleston, c.
+. Edwards, Of Huntington, and Deacon
M. F. Jones, Of Charleston, are also
candidates, but it is not thought that
they will poll very large vote. The
fight will undoubtedly be between Mr..
Sutherland and Mr.. Ogden.

and his friends are predicting that

William Taylor George, OF Philippi,

have also filed their papers as can

to see how they will get their moneys
