CENTRAL STATION
The wheat crop is almost ready to har.
vest, and will be about three-fourths of a
full crop. We will have a surplus to ship.
Corn is rather backward, but rains in the
last ten DAYS have been favorable. Oats
and rye not much sown; enough for home
consumption. Potatoes, both Irish and
sweet, are looking well; prospect of full av,
erage. Grass will yield about a full aver
ace ifweather continues favorable. Fruit
crops show very abundant prospect, es,
pecially apples and small fruit. Tobacco
not much planted, but very favorable tor
about two-thirds of usual average. Bnsi
ness in this immediate neighborhood has
been better for May and June so far than
for several years. Wool has moved brisk
", though at less prices than formerly.
Live stock finds ready sale and good prices.
Merchants are generally doing good bust
ness, but money is little hard owing to
shipments not finding ready market. The
prospect win show brighter in the near fu
ture in Doddridge county.

An Editors Experie nee.

After trying numerous remedies for
Rheumatism, but without permanent relief,
| was advised to try S. s s., which had
given permanent relief to others suffering
from rheumatism. After taking half a
dozen bottles | found that the disease was
entirely driven out of my system, and
permanent cure secured. This was over
year ago, and since then, even during our
most severe weather, with sudden changes,
have never suffered a return of the old
attacks which disabled me from editorial
work. Slight attacks have yielded prompt
" to few doses Of s S. S., and disappeared
within fOrty-eight hours.
1t is very seldom, indeed, that | recon-
mend anything to the public in this man
ner, but feel it due to your valuable prep
aration, that has gwen me such long-de-
sired and much.needed relief, to state these
facts thus publicly. l am sure that but for
your Specific | should have been laid aside
from journalistic work, as the severest at
tack Was in my right arm and hand. As
thousands are now suffering in a similar
manner, and many of them hesitate for GER
tain reasons to use your preparation, i am
constrained to address you tits voluntary
testimonial for publication in their behalf

would subside little, and then apparently
gathering renewed energy it would shoot

Tuesday night gang OF crooks started to
plying their nefarious traffic in this city.
1t seems from what could be learned that
the policemen of the two wards in which
they worked were aware of their being in
the neighborhood but for all that they did
not catch them, though there is no doub;
but that it was their hunting for them thai
kept the thieves from making successful
break.
The thieves first attempted to enter ], c
Miller's store on Chaphne street, South
Side, but abandoned the attempt and
moved up the street to Eberling L Pebler :
tobacco store, No. 1888 ChaphnC

the door and one of the lccls broken The
police happening to hear of the attempt,
fred to surround them, but were uusuccesS
Jul, and they. escaped without shot being
fred at them. The next place attacked was
Menkemeller's drug store. Here the thieves
ried to effect an entrance by cutting the
shutter of the rear window, but before they
eould force an opening were scared off. The
hieves, instead of leaving the neighbor

ANOTHER FLOOD
Does Immense Damage to Large Number

Does Immense Damage to . Large Numbor
of People.
All the inhabitants in the vicinity Of
Main and Twenty-third streets are uproar-
ious and doing some heavy kicking. To
any one who was in that region during the
heavy rains of Tuesday and last evenings,
the cause would be apparent The sewers,
which have always been insufficient to carry
of the water even in an ordinary rain, we're
some time ago repaired or rather replaced
by new ones, and It was hoped they would
be an improvement on the old ones, but
instead of that they are not
nearly so good, as they are not large
enough. Tuesday evening every place and
cellar on both sides of the street near the
corner was flooded with water, and the streets
had nearly the same appearance they did
the big food. The houses on the east side
of Main and north Of Twenty-third, which
have basement rooms, were filled with
muddy water, and almost everything these
basement rooms contained was destroyed or
injured by the food. The water came
upon the people with rush
and they were entirely unprepared for it.
All the cellars in the other houses were
filed. This is grievance that could be-
easily remedied by large sewers being put
in and would save much loss and damage
of property and great trouble and expense
to the property holders and tene nts. This
thing has been spoken of before, and now
the people living within radius off square
each way from that point are ~
II arms and loud in their de-
uunciation OF the authorities. Whethe"
il is the fault OF the Board of Public Works
or the contractors who put the sewers in
they are unable to decide, but certain it is
there is going to be rumpus, and sigrs o.
war are waiting from that direction. With
in FIVE minutes OF the time that the rain be
gan to fall on either of the above mentioned
nights, the sewers were rendered useless and
the whole region overhowed. Now, the
residents want to know what is to be done,
as they cannot afford to have
their household goods destroyed
and be at the expense of having
cellars pumped out on the occasion of ev-
cry trivial rainfall. People who had be
gan to get things enlightened up from The
flood of Tuesday evening will be compelled
to go over the same grounds again to-day
with very likely recurrence Of the sam,
operation at any time. The sewer at th'
southeast corner has fallen in, and it is reu
dered entirely useless. 1t is the duty o
the authorities to see to this matter anC
remedy it, as it can be easily done by plac
ing better sewerage in the vicinity.

WHEELING.

The condition of crops is not at all salts
factory. Wheat will only yield about 30
per cent of an average crop and owing to a
long continued dry spell at a very unusual
season of the year, the hay crop is very
light and will not yield over one-third Of an
average crop. Corn is short and needs
rain as is the case also in respect to the oat
crop. However there is ample time yet to
make a good crop of corn and oats with
favorable weather. Apples and pears are
abundant and the yield will be excellent
Owing to the coming elections and the sea
son of the year business is dull and there is
not much doing, but brisker fall trade is
anticipated and the general business out
