Upon being advised use Kodol, I did so, and words cannot tell the good it has done me. A neighbor had dyspepsia so that he had tried most everything. I told him to use Kodol.

"Tariff laws should not afford protection exceeding 10 per cent, on any industry, irrespective of the form of doing business, individual or corporation, the is the be protected. As the tariff laws are and have been, it is the oousumer.

that is, the great mass of the people, who have terribly suffered to the great advantage of a few in the business community." This statement is not a statement made by a partisan for campaign purposes, but is cold-blooded, sworn testimony of Henry O. Havemeyer, the sugar trust king, before the United States Industrial Commission. Suoh being the faots, isn't it time to oall a halt? "The masses of the people have suffered to the great advantage of the few in the business oomuaunity 1- it not time for the masses of the people to stop suffering, stop paying two prices for goods in order that the steel trust and other trusts may swell their huge dividends? Strike the trust fostering tariff and then dividends will be reasonable and prioes will ceasb to be lower on American made goods in Europe than they are at home. It Seeds A Tonic.

W. M. Hooff. Two Whoppers. Down in Wayne county there are two young ladies either of whioh will out weigh "Big Jolly Joe," who was here during the street fair last May.

The young ladies are the Misses Davis, of Leopold, that county, and Bre aged 20 and 14 years respectively. The v. eight of the oldest is 672 pounds and she has a girth of 7 feet. The other is 14 years of age and tips the beam at 642 They are said to be the largest people of their age in the country. Think of two persons weighing 1314 pounds.

The old fashioned milage allowance to United States Senators should be done away with now, as nearly every one of them, and perhaps all of them, ride on passes issued by the railroads, yet they are allowed 20 oants a mile both ways for traveling expenees, and it makes quite a sum iu the Senators form Washington, for instance, drawing about $1200 each for every round trip to and from Washington City, when it would not cost over $200 for the round trip, first-class if they had to pay it, whioh they do not.

The Deraoorateof West Virginia have nominated a very strong list of candidates for Congress in all five of the districts this time. Just look at this array of strong and able men: First Owen MoKinney, of Marioa county. Seoond John T. McGraw, of Taylor oounty. Third James H.

Miller, of Summers oounty. Fourth W. N. Chancellor of Wood oounty. Fifth David JohnsoD of Meroer oounty.

His Sight Threatened. "While picnicking last month my 11year-old boy was poisoned by TOme( weed or plant," says W. H. Sioux City, la. "He rubbed tne poison off his hands Into his eyes and for a while we were afrad he would lose hie sight.

Beware of counterfeits. Hooff. The Atlanta Constitution puts the question in a nutshell bb follows: "The political puzzle that millions of voters in this oounty would like to understand is why Congress ran legislate to raise the prioes of commodities and then oannut find any way to legislate them down again when they have reaohed robbery?" Since the cows have been ordered out of town it ie notioeable that locust, willow, oottonwood, peach, apple and other treeB and bushes are gettiug a ohanoe to grow along and under the river affording protection to it. The Democrats of Brooke oounty, this State, have nominated a woman for the offioe of County Superintendent of Free Sohools To TUe Poor House. Within the short perigd of a few years General Enochs, of Ironton, Ohio, just below and aoross from this oity, was a congressman, popular wdth all, esteemed by all.

A man who bad fought in the defense of this nation, served in the front ranks of battle during the war, and afterwards served his peoples and his state and his oountry with honor and with credit to them and to himself. He is dead. But he is not forgotten. Better for mankind were his memory a blank. More valid would be their excuse lor their laok of appreoiatiDn, for their selfishness.

His brother, W. H. Enoohs, an aged man who lived just above here on the Ohio side, was waylaid and dangerously wounded by the hand of an assassin. What did his tin do? What did the men who honored General Enoohs and those who lived upon upon his bounty do? Take nim like the good Samaritan to an inn and leave money to pay for the necessities and oomforts of this old and wounded man? No. Take him to a comfortable and modern hospital where man's kindness to mankind makes all the world a kin? No.

His neighbors took him to the county infirmary. To the poor house, the plaoe provided for paupers. Yon who seek after fame can you see your finish in this short history? You who are careless of the welfare and oamfort of others, can see your prototype here. You who think that religion, consists of long prayers spoken in public oan see that an hour in the exeoution of justioe is worth a week of man of the world, you oan Bee by this brief history how despioable are the pharisees and hypoorits and how like Jesus was the good Samaritan. But all these lessons do not now affect the condition of Mr Enoohs who lives upon public charity foroed so sparingly, in a plaoe that would shame a Lazarus.

Fame is but a fleeting shadow. Trueness to one's better self, to oharity wbioh is love, to plain and simple duty, is the source of true greatness no matter bow the world may wag. The plaudits of the world are bat a bubble. Priok it and it bursts. Quit danoing and it quits praising.

Death is its end. The plaudits of the world are not worth a fig. The King is dead, long live the king, sums all worldly fame in a ton Herald The Pittsburg Post says: The United States is fairly embarked on the irrigation enterprise, and there will be ouriosity as to the result. The Uw passed by the last Congress provides for a "reclamation fund," to be made up of money derived from the selling of public lands in Arizona, 'California, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, Nerr Mexioo, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Washington, Utah and oertain amounts paid local land offioers and the 5 per cent due the varioua States on all Buoh sales for eduoational purposes This fund is to be used for constructing and operating irrigation works in the hoove States and Territories, and the secretary of the interior is authorized to oonstruct these works and report to Congress at eacb session on their cost. It is estimated that at least Bixty million sores of public land may be irrigated and to provide against the monopolizing of any of this land no individual land ownaris permitted to secure or aoquire rights to the used water for a larger tract than 160 acres.

It is also provided that the various States named above ahall have control over the waters of non nagigable streams for irrigation purposes. It ia now announoed from the press that Senator Elkins is not going to Europe. Kill the dogs and save the stock. We mast have a dog law. fOCR SIGNALS.

We ahonld say we don't! In the first plaoe we have others who depend on as for a living; if we published all that happened we shonld soon be with the angels.

In Honor of William L. Wilson. The library of Washington and Lee University, at Lexington, is undergoing extensive repairs. NdW being laid in the whole lower story, the walls are being well oolored and various other needful improvements are in progress. In oommemoration of the services rendered to the "International Copyright Law," by the late William L.

Wilson, 15 large publishing houses have agreed to present Bnnually to this library from 100 to 150 volumes of their latest publications, thus enriching it by some 1,000 books each year. Tbe library already has some rare old books of whioh it is proud, its old editions of Horaoe being widely known. It is rather strange that the Republicans should take off their hats and shout most loudly in behalf of Roosevelt's publicity recommendations against the trusts when it is remembered that on the 15th of last February every Republican Senator voted against an amendment embodying those very ideas. "Oh, oonsietency," how thou art fishified! The post-offioe editors throughout the oountry are saying that the administration is dealing direotly with the trusts, while Seoretary Root sayb that the only way to deal direotly with them is to adjust the tariff. It seems that the fact of the osse is that they are not dealing with them at all.

Dogs got among the sheep of Geo. Sayre at Sweet Springs, Monroe oounty, last week and killed and wounded 18 sheep and 12 lambs. He suooeeded in killing one of the dogs and followed another home where its owner proceeded to dispatoh it. For six years before the Spanish war the average expenses of the government were $362,000,000 as against $800,000,000 for the coming year, exolusive of the isthmian oanal. The "world power" business seems come high.

It is difficulty to understand, in view of the large dividends whioh the trusts, including the coal trust, have recently declared, why the Mrikere oannot realize that this is 'an era of unequaled prosperity" and so refrain from striking Albion (Mioh) Mirror. Among the interesting statistics showing that Washington, D.

Of these were white and 48 oolored.

SAD DEATH. Bay less Persinger Diesat Ureen-1 vine. August 4th. Oallipolis Journal. A telegram directed to the Masonio Lodge No.

1, Gallipolis, from Greenville, was received over the wires Tuesday morning reading: W. Persinger here very sick olaims membership with yoo, what shall we do in case of death." Sherwood Moore telegraphed for them to spare no expense and to do everything known to medical skill to bring about a recovery when the following message was received: "Persinger died last night will bury at ten this morning." These brief communications will ouase wide spread Tegret. TTgSn" the arrival of the last message the ledge here wired for them to send particulars at ouce and up until two clock they had not been received. The report was current that Mr. Persinger had contracted a contagious disease but it is not credited, for the health of that locality has not been infested by any disease.

He was given a Masonic funeral. Mr. Persinger was well known in this oity, having at one time conducted a bakery here. The prevalence of smallpox in -the United States in the midsummer season is an extraordinary de velopment of the oontagious character of (be plague. Usually it is mote prevalent in fall and winter, but large and increasing numbers of oases are reported East and West in large towns and oities.

The record for the last six months shows a discouraging growth of the disease and the great difficulty in stamping it out. Between December 28, 1901, and June 27,1902, there were reported to the surgeon general of the marine hospital service at Washington 38,377 oases. And there is every reason to believe that this number iB far below the aotual total. During the period under review there were probably not less than 50,000 oases of smallpox in the United States. The most effective measures should be adopted everywhere dnring the next six weeks before the schools resume, for they are a great source of infection and spread of the disease.

Kvery law and ordinance in regard to vaooination should be rigidly enforced at the schools, and in factories no unvaooinated persons should be retained among the working people. Houses where it haB made a lodgment should be thoroughly fumigated. An unusual dish seen at alunoheon not long ago was chioken mayonnaise served in a ring of ham jelly. The former was prepared in the usual way, with one- third dioed oelery, and about two cupfuls were piled in the hollow of the ring after it was turned out on the platter, the jelly resting in a bed of wateroreas. To make the jelly whip a half-pint of thick oream till quite stiff, and stir in a cup of strong nspio jelly, but not set, and and add the contents of a small jar of potted bam.

Whip all together thoroughly, add a few drops of carmine to give a pink tint, and pack in a ring mold. Set in a cool place for a couple of hours to harden. The Curfew Ordinance. Several of our youngsters nightly violate this ordinance in spite of the efforts of the officers to catch them. The bell is rang regularly at the appointed hour, but of late the lads pay no attention to it.

You boys will spend a night in the oity lookup if you are not careful, for the officers are watobing you and they will pick you up when you least expect it. The present tariff was avowedly framed to give "higher wages to American labor." It now operates to give lower prices to foreign consumers and higher prohts to York World.

The United States Realty Construction Company is the latest trust to enter the field.

It has just been formed with a capital of $66,000,000, two of the principal stockholders being Charles M. Schwab, president of the U. S. Steel corporation, and James Stillman, president of the Rookfeller-Standard Oil National City. The promoters do not hesitate to say they will soon be in a position to dominate New York real estate.

To overcome the dangers of our battleships, likely to result from the new shell recently invented, it is said the ships will have to be oovered with thioker plates or armor. How this, is to bedone out adding so much weight as to make them unseaworthy and less speedy is the problem experts are wrestling with. One suggests the invention of a faoe- hardening prooess for armor, superior to that now in use, as the only solution. The most recent case of a fatal mosquito bite, coming under the observation of the medical fraternity, is that of the 14-months-old obild of George Croneberger, 142 Willis Ave New York, whioh was bitten by a mosquito last Monday and died two day's later from ery sipelas. The attending pbysioian certified in his report that the mosquito bite was the cause of death.

Point Pleasant is one of the most convenient points in the United States for the manufacture and shipment of the products of most any sort of a plant. Coal is plentiful, timber and iron are both accessible, and with two rivers and our railioads. it is a query that capitalists do not invest here. Every inducement will be offered the parties in interest. If it is his "surplus" that the Amerioan manufacturer is Belling abroad at "sost," whioh means for 35 per oent lees than in America, the Amerioan consumer would like to have him change about and sell to him at ooet while he makes his profit off of the foreigner.

It may require the experience of the coming winter, when the poor man will have to pay almost prohibitory prioes for ooal and extortionate prices for food and clothing to oonvince the people of the iniquity of the trust fostering policy of the administration. It may, but we doubt it. There were granted by the Patent Office, during the week just ended, 518 applications. 454 of Whioh were for patents, the remainder being for trade-marks, labels, etc. New York led with 74, Pennsylvania next with 52.

Roosevelt and Littlefield will now apply themselves to entertaining the public with an anti-trost bipprodome while the other Republican leaders will devote their time to convincing the trust leaders that "there's nothing in it." I needed a vacation, I thought that it was best; I'm back from my vacation, And now I need a rest. Republican leaders will hardly point with pride to the Republioan situation in Wisconsin as an edifyI ing example of harmony. LABOtt DAY, 10O2.

A system of good turnpikes or even of the modern, well drained and well kept dirt road, constructed aooording to soientifio engineering principles, would be worth more than an extra barrel of oorn or a fraction of a bale of ootton to the acre, says the Springfield(Mo) Republican.
