STATE PROBLEM BEFORE TUFT Two Sections of Republican Party in West Virginia -Being Discussed.

CONFERENCE HELD TODAY.

BOTH WINGS DESIRE SUPPORT OF NATIONAL REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE, BUT TAFT KEEPS OUT OF FIGHT.

White Sulphur Springs, W. Va., Aug. 10. The acute Republican problem in West Virginia is to be made the subject of a conference at Hot Springa -with W. H. Taft today. Both the Swisher and Scherr factions will be represented. Swisher is the regular Republican nominee for Governor and Scherr is running for the same office at the head of an independent Republican faction. Each wing has made application for the support of the Republican national committee and the pilgrimage to Mr. Taft's headquarters Is for the purpose of getting a decision. Efforts have been made by each faction while Mr. Taft has been here to get him to identify himself with one aide or the other, but he has positively refused to become involved. The"' matter of campaign arrangements for West Virginia is one which comes directly under the JuMsdiction of Frank H. Hitchcock, who is expected to reach Hot Springs Wednesday. The delegation representing the state who came here today includes Senators Elkins and Scott, Representatives Hughes and Gaines, and Messrs. Swisher and Scherr. The Taft party will leave here at 8:20 o'clock in the morning by train and will reach Hot Springs before noon. Mr. Taft had an opportunity to rest Sunday and he made the most of it. With Mrs. Taft he attended services at ithe Episcopal Chapel in the grounds of the hotel and listened to a sermon iby Bishop Peterkin.

ADAMLESS EDEN GETS RUDE SHOCK.

Washington, Pa., Aug. 10. It was a

mean revenge some disgruntled boys took on a party of campers composed entirely of young women near here.

The camp has been an annual affair

and twenty society girls with chaperons have been spending the summer

In tents with not a son of Adam to

protect them.

Saturday night the girls held a so

cial affair at which many town boys "were Invited. As the, campers had

been up late they slept soundly. About 7 o'clock in the morning a little blonde rushed from the tent shrieking "Some one has taken my clothes." The chap

erons awoke to seize their "duds

thinking a man had invaded the

camp. But there were no clothes, not

even a garter. The thieves had rifled every tent and even invaded the mess

tent and took every bite of grub ex

cept two loaves of bread. It was noon before the relatives of the campers

(arrived with clothing and food for the

"dears," who had to stick to their

tents hungry and anxious lest some

rude man should Invade the Adamless

fden and discover their plight.

The following story from the Kansas City Times of Tuesday is in regard to a well known local man, whose home friends have not realized so distinctly his resemblance to the far famed author mentioned: C. V. Patterson, who travels out of Richmond, Ind., for a roller skate manufacturer, occupied a chair at the Kupper hotel's sidewalk lobby last night. He resembles Mark Twain, and his theory is that his literary appearance is due to the novelists and poets he knows back in Indiana. "I was intimately acquainted with Bill Nye," he remarked last night. "I met him one night In a hotel at Cleveland, O. He invited me to have a cigar and we walked over to the

counter. The 'Bill Nye was then a popular brand of cigar." "'Have you a "Bilt Nye" cigar,' he asked the clerk. "The box was set out. I took a cigar and Nye took a handful of them. Then he4turned calmly and walked away. "Here!' called the clerk, 'you didn't pay me.' " 'I thought you said they were Bill Nye's cigars,' the humorist said, turning. "'They are. '"Well, I'm Bill Nye.' "The clerk glanced at the picture on the box top and then at Nye's face. "'Glad to meet you,' said he. 'The cigars are on the house.' "

WATSON WILL SPEAK AT R1DGEVILLE SURE Will Not Stop Because Marshall Is There.

Portland, Ind., Aug. 10. For several days the report has been industriously circulated that Hon. James E. Watson, of Rushville, the Republican candidate for governor, who, with his Democratic opponent, Hon. Thomas R. Marshall, of Columbia City, is advertised to speak at the old settlers' meeting at Ridgevllle, would not be at the gathering. To correct this statement, J. T. Moorman, of Winchester, one of the .leading spirits of this joint county, reunion, a few days ago, wrote Fred A. Sims, acting chairman of the Republican state committee, through whom the date was secured, and received the following reply, omitting the salutation: "Hon. James E. Watson has been assigned to speak at Ridgeville, Ind., on Aug. 12. He will be there on that occasion without doubt. Yours truly, Fred A. Sims."

NEGRO IS LYNCHED He Told White-Girl He Wanted Her for His Sweetheart. CROWDS VISIT THE SCENE.

Tifton, Ga., Aug. 10. Because he

spoke insultingly to Miss Maude Aiken

pretty daughter of a prominent citi

zen, Charlie Lekie, a negro, aged 18 years, was taken from Jail Sunday morning and lynched on the outskirts of this city.

The lynching was conducted so

quietly that few knew what was being done. Eight determined men went to the jail at 8 o'clock, secured the negro carried him quietly through the streets to a grove and hanged him. Not a shot was fired. The news of the lynching did not become generally known until about the time people were leaving the churches, and hundreds, both black and white, flocked to view the corpse. The negro's offense was committed Saturday evening. He passed Miss Aiken and said to her: "I want you to be my sweetheart." The young woman informed her father, and Lekie was arrested. He declared that his remark was not intended for the white girl. He was regarded as a bad negro, however, and the lynching followed.

A Iloom Apart That Should

Known as the "OCice." The most privately conducted home must eommuulcate with increasing frequency with the world outside. The coal uian, the ice man. the automobile repair shop must be upbraided or cajoled. Keports must be rcvlewe.i. accounts kept, bills examined and the senders occasionally treated with a check. From a room removed from the rest of the house on: must speak with the railway station, settle with the expressman or deliberate with the chauffeur or coachmKii, for none of these things should disturb the tranquillity of the home or the equnncmlty of guests. If the house is to minister to all the activities of a home it is high time that space be devoted to thia mechanism of living. For want of a better term a room devoted to such a purpose may be called the "ome" of the house. Here the telephone stands on a table that bears also the miscellaneous utensils and printed matter that are always wanted la a house when they cannot be found. Here are cookbooks, gardening books, dictionaries, time tables, while a few old plates, a cast or two. bits of Dresden, water colors and a few cherished photographs relieve nn otherwise humdrum collection of necessities.

ry K. Thaw last night gave out the;

following statement concerning the ; claims filed against him by lawyers, ' which, he asserts, forced him into

bankruptcy: In this morning's papers I read that Mr. O'Reilly makes a claim for money. That is a matter for former Governor Stone, my counsel in Pittsburg, to take charge of. There seems no reason for me to discuss the different

claims, and therefore I have nothing; more to say except regarding one fact J The sums already expended and the . names of the lawyers and others toj whom I paid the money were clearly ( stated in the newspapers. There is only this much to add: Besides the heavy total of about $417,500 that I paid out myself, my mother paid our family physician and gave about $47,-

500 additional to Mr. Hartridze, making $105,000 received by his firm prior to'April 16. 1907. My mother also made a present of $25,000 to Mr. Dalmas. This made, with his actual fee paid by me, $50,000 in all that he received for his able services. Mr. Delmas' bill for expenses was less than 1,000 and is Included in the 20,000 item for detectives and sundries.

The TivUf&t orrrre. The muscles of the stomach ,n old as- are not us strong or active as in ycrath and in consequence old people are very subject to constipation and indigestion. Many seldom have a Vwcl movement without artificial aid. Many, also, hava unpleasant eructations of gas from !ne stomach after eating.

Even Emile de Glrardin. whom Eugenie welcomed as "the gravedlgger of dynasties" because he had gone to Louis Fhilippe on the eve of his flight in 1S4S to warn him as be came to warn her now, said to her very seriously that night: "Should your majesty appear bravely on horseback in the midst of the people your majesty can still count on their enthusiasm and devotion." Eugenie resolved to show herself on horseback. She ordered that the riding habit be chosen. It must be All black, of the severest simplicity. And she would just pin the red ribbon of the Legion of Honor on her left breast Often the slightest causes bring about the gravest results. The tragedy of the empire's last chance, therefore, must be sought along with the black riding skirt and corsage.

"One morning when busy In my workshop." says a naturalist, "a large fly. double the size of a bluebottle, was cnught In a spider's web in the window close to where I was at work.
