E SNEAK THIEF
ENTERED THE MANLEY HOTEL
g, BAR LAST NIGHT AND SEie
CURED FIFTEEN DOLLARS.
It
d- The Manley Hotel Bar was robbed
a- last night, an entrance being effecte
ed by lowering a window that is
r- about on a level with Porter alley,
ir which bounds one side of tlie build0
ing. There are three of these winl
(lows and evidently the robber or rob>f
bers managed to slip the catch on one
n of them during the day and taking
r chances on the bartender overlooking
e the position of the lock. When Chara
lie Fleming opened up this morning
s he noticed the coolness of the room
e and looking around discovered the
s open window. An examination of the
- cash register was made and found to
1 be empty of its contents, about $15.00.
- This is Fleming's first day at the
- place -and he can not tell if any other
- things are missing, yet it is hardly
- likely, as a fine silver set open on the
> back bar was unmolested. This fact
I also points to home talent, although
, no clue to the guilty parties can be
found.

BOSTON, Mass., Nov. 1.?The newarmored
cruiser West Virginia in the
lower harbor having arrived from
Newport News, her official govern- 1
ment speed test will take place to- '
morrow if the weather conditions are 1
favorable. On her trip up the coast 1
she easily maintained a speed of 19 1
knots and it is confidently expected 1
that clio will a-vfnarl thp rpnnlrerl J
I speed 22 knots on the trial ran.
The West Virginia is nearly 14,000 E
tons displacement. It is a sister ship c
to the Colorado which was given trial s
turn last week. ^

THE MEETINGS
LAST NIGH'
THE SCHOOL HOUSE CAMPA1GI
GOES MERRILY ON?REPUBLICANS
ARE IN LINE.
There were four meetings partic
pated in and held by Republicans i;
various parts of the county last nighl
John L. Lehman and Dr. J. N. De
vore addressed the voters at Curtis
ville last night. They report a goo<
meeting, many Republicans beinj
present and insuring the boys tha
Curtisville will give a fine report of it
self.
E. F. Morgan and H. E. Moran ad
dressed the voters at Forlcsburg anc
the people there are getting ready foi
next Tuesday, when a record-break
ing Republican vote will be polled.
Captain ICemble White addressed a
fair sized crowd at Barnstown. This
community is recognized as being in
excellent condition. Captain White
emphasized the points which have
been told the voters over there on
several occasions and many Democrats
declare they will vote for the
tax reform candidates.
The joint discussion at Kingmont
was one of the most interesting yet
held. Personalities were entirely
laid aside and the questions handled
in sincerity by the representatives of
both sides. Attorney A. 0. Stanley
opened the discussion, as per agreement,
in a forty minutes' speech; he
was followed by Attorney P. M. Hoge
in a like period. Captain Neely then
spoke thirty minutes, Mr. Lough closing
the discussion in twenty minutes.
The good people of Kingmont are
wondering to-day how honest men can j
see tilings in such different lights. One
very strong Democrat told the writer
that he was a Democrat, and would
always be he supposed, for ho believed
i\ the principles of Democracy, but
ae said he believed the Republicans
vere right on the tax question and he
vas going to vote for Mr. Dawson.
\fter the joint discussion was over,
Jeorge Lilly asked to speak awhile
ind as George is just as likely to do
>ne side harm as the other, permision
was granted and then the fun
ifgan. George always gets the crowd
or his awkwardness excites a fellow's
isibilities and it cheers the heart to
ee how people like to see George
lake an exhibition of himself. As
ieorge was not a party to the joint
iscussion, any other such injection
rould have-been considered "butting
i," 'but *is tve all know George, no
bjection whatever was raised.

home yesterday on No, 71. Her vet
sioti 'of the affair as reported, is tha
her brother Charley anil his nephew
M. T. Owens, had been out hunting
together on the above date, and whili
returning, the nephew, who was car
rying the game dropped it by chance
and while catching at it as it fell, th(
gun on his shoulder turned and wen
off, the load hitting Mr. Musgrave
in the forehead. He.lived about at
hour after the fatal shot, when he
died where he fell. His father, whe

from where the accident occurred,
was notified," and procured a stretcher,
and with the assistance of other
nephews carried him home a corpse.
He was buried at McKim cemetery on
Saturday afternoon, the services be
ing conducted by Rev. Hart, the
family's pastor. He leaves a father
and mother living at McKim, one

Ankrom, of this city, Misses Mollie
and Lovie Owens, both of McKim,
and Mrs. Missouri Curry, who, with
her husband, make their home with
the father and mother. The above
accident as narrated, is a verv sad
one for the family, and in the absence
of other incidents, not given in the
report of the accident, makes both
the mannen of the occurrence and its
fatality appear an unsolved mystery.
