Chronic Cafarrh.

G. w. Mellier, of 400 South Fourth
street, st. Louis, is twenty years of age,
and has been a sufferer from chronic
catarrh, which had become quite often
sive. When he came to DR.. Hartman, two
months ago, he was told it would take six
months to cure him. But he has pro-
gressed beyond all expectations, and
nearly all signs of the disease have dis
appeared. Before being treated he could
not breathe out of the nose, and now he
has perfect control of the nasal organ.
PERUNA did the business.
James Dunn, Of 1870 Gay street, St.
Louis, has suffered from catarrh since
1870. The gentleman told the reporter
the following straightforward story Of
his case. az took the disease in Mem
phis. 1t commenced in my head and
extended to my throat, and a bad cough
followed. went to number of ply
sicians, and they told me my trouble was
liver disease, and one said it was palpita-
ton of the heart that caused the cough.
For the last year have been practically
worthless. / could not ascend fight Of
stairs without suffering from shortness of
breath and fast beating of the heart, and
my appetite was very defective. After
eating often coughed SO hard that
would throw up everything in my stom-
ach. I could not walk any distance with
out painting. Five weeks ago I went
under the care of DR.. Hartman. and now
my cough has disappeared and feel like
a new man." PERUNA was his treat
ment.
Next came George Sauerbaum, residing
at 1929 Carr street, st. Louis, who is an
old patient of DIR. Hartman. He stated
that he had suffered most intensely from
chronic catarrh of the head and lungs, but
is now almost cured, his lungs being en-
tirely well and his head greatly improved.
The gratitude of this gentleman was
almost boundless, and he expressed it to
the reporter in the strongest terms, say
ing E" PERUNA will cure any disease"
/. P. Dukehart, of Cumberland, Md.
superintendent B. & O.R. r. Co. g Hotels
conductor on the Baltimore & Ohio Rail-
road for twenty eight years, and previous
ly a druggist), writes: " DIR. S. B. HART
MAN & Co., Columbus, o. l have used
but one bottle of PERUNA between myself
and son. He had diptheretic sore THROAT,
and is now well. As for myself, it has en-
tirely relieved the dullness in my head.
which has been of long standing-the re-
suit of chronic malaria. never took
anything in my life that gave me such
great satisfaction. My wife is now TAX

a Boom that Has Not Been Eek
perienced for six Years.

"The hardware business in this
city is experiencing such boom at
present as it has not known for the
last six years." remarked a Wood
street Wholesale dealer this morning.
"The city is full of country mer-
chants who are filing up their stock.
A feature of the buying is the fact
that they are keeping up full line
of goods, something unusual for
them. The customary thing to do
is to order because there is a demand.
The cause, l think, lies in the fact
that grains and fruits were generally
so abundant as to either fill the
grangers pockets or hold out to them
prospects Of an easy money market.
With such promises the farmer is
commencing to look after things
which for years he has done without.
The demand for hardware is so great
that it cannot be Immediately sup
piled, and owing to summer idleness
the manufacturers cannot meet it at
once. | think the prospects for a
good winters business are of the
fairest. The mills not going now
will soon start, and all will be well

The Coast survey Frauds.

At the instance of First Auditor
Chenoweth of the Treasury Depart
ment the Government has been in
vestigating what is known as. the
Coast Survey Frauds. Tremendous
efforts are being made to conceal the
facts by friends Of implicated par
ties but under the reform administra-
tion the work goes steadily on.
Amongst great deal of other ma
terial furnished from this source we
clip the following telling how a
Republican official has had high old
times at Government expense His
name is Captain Boutelle.
He has succeeded in passing four
delightful summers, accompanied by
friends, the Treasury footing the
bills, During the summers of 1876
and 1880 he was supposed to be in
the field with three assistants. His
camp was at Sugar Loaf Mountain,
in Maryland, near this city. He had
eighteen tents, and entertained his
friends in magnificent style. In the
party were two servants and three
nurses, besides the numerous visitors,
and all these subsisted at Govern
ment expense. Captain Boutelle had
the privilege Of hiring teams, charge
able to the expense account, and nu-
merous excursions were made to
points of interest in the vicinity
The party was even supplied with
ponies and sedan chairs by the lib
eral construction that the luxurious
Captain placed upon his allowances.
John Boutelle, son of tue Captain,
was one of the party drawing a sal
airy as an assistant. He at one time
cornered the market in Transparent
cies, buying all the Chinese lanterns
on sale in Washington to illuminate
the woods in the vicinity of the camp
The records do not show whether
they were charged to the Govern
ment or not, but the wholesale man
ner in which they were purchased
makes it likely that they were. Two
seasons of pleasure at Sugar Loaf
Mountain became monotonous, and
in 1881 the whole outfit was moved
to Lake Champlain, near Saratoga.
The absurdity of carrying on coast
surveys at point so far inland seem
ingly did not affect those authorizing
the proceeding The same festivi
ties and enjoyments which transpir-
ed at Sugar Loaf Mountain took
place at the new resort, the Govern
ment footing the bills.
The air in the vincinity seemed to
be agreeable, for the following sum.
mer, that of 1882, found the same
elegant public servants in camp at
the Adirondocks, this time on the
pretense that new points for triangu-
lation were being mapped. Four
summers of extravagant camp life
resulted in, what? The archives of
the office in charge of Captain Har-
vey have been searched in vain, and
not line of work has been discover
ed that was done while these luxur-
ious servants were supposed to be
earning their salaries in the field.
Copeland, who manufactured the
tents for the coast survey during
these halcyon days, now lives in a
mansion with extensive grounds east
of the Capitol. He has frequently
entertained the Coast survey officials
in magnificent style, and has doubt
less found it profitable.

State News.

Down in Jackson county there is
said to be an organized gang of
horse thieves and deprcdations are
quite extensive. So says the Ty-
Ter Democrat ~
Edward Haney. a much respec-
ted young man, who but recently
came to this county from Monon-
gala, died inthe Flat Woods, of
fever, Tuesday, the Sth. He was
about % years of age, and had
been sick, only about two weeks. -
Btarhon Democrat.
Last Friday, Johnny, infant son
of J. c. McEldowney, of New
Martinsville, aged two years, went
out on the railway track, and for
amusement lay down beside the
track with. his head between the
ties just before the evening train
came down. The train passed
over him and did not hurt him, but
the engineer, who did not see him
until too late to reverse his engine,
was scared within an inch Of his
life.
A young man named Joseph
Costello, whose home was in New
burg, was killed by the cars last
Friday night. He had been to
Grafton and was stealing a ride
home on freight train. Being
under the influence of liquor he
fell from the train near Irontown
and the wheels passed over him,
cutting one arm completely off,
breaking both legs, and otherwise
horribly mangling him, but strange
to say he was not instantly killed.
He was picked up and brought to
Grafton where he was attended by
Drs. Love, Vankirk, Warder, and
Grant, but he was beyond the pow
er of medical assistance and death
ensued on Saturday night at 10
O'Clock. The remains we're taken
to Newburg Sunday for interment.
He was about rs years ofage.
Last Friday, while Mr.. David
Kerns, an aged citizen of Knots
villedistrict, Taylor county, was cut
ting timber in clearing on Mr..
Means farm about four miles from
Grafton, he was instantly killed by
a tree falling upon him and break
ing his neck. The accident proba-
bly, happened early in the morning,
for when the body was discovered
by little daughter Of Mr.. Means,
who went to call the unfortunate
man to dinner, he had evidently
been dead for some hours. Squire
Raymond was Immediately sent
for, and upon his arrival late in the
afternoon, coroner's jury was i'm
pannelled, and a verdict was rend-
cred in accordance with the above
facts. Mr.. Kerns left an aged
widow to mourn his sad and sudden
DEATH Deceased was a man oil
steady and industrious habits, was
about 65 years of age, and has
lived in this county for many years.

The whole country besides part
of the rest of the world have been
watching with interest the interna-
tional Yacht race which TRANSFERRED
off the coast of New York last week.
The race was sailed over a course of
forty miles and is reported by ex-
perienced yachtmen to have been the
best and most evenly contested ever
seen in the world.
The Puritan an American vessel
contested with the English vessel
Genesta, and victory was with the
Puritan, though in race of 40
miles she only came in ahead two
minutes and six seconds. A beau
tiful picture is said to have been
presented as the twin racers sped
over the course with their pyramids
of white canvas towering above their
narrow hulls.
The races were attended with de-
lays and accidents which were an
noying, but these delays afforded
opportunity for friendly intercourse
and mutual courtesy between the
two vessels and their relative merits
were tested under various circum-
stances and with variety of wind
and weather. The cup contested
for was first won from the British
Yachtman in 1851, and this is the
fifth effort of the British to win it
back. The first was in 1870 then in
1871, then in 1876, and again in 1881.
1t is gratifying to our national pride
that the9American boat has not only
won the prize but has shown super
ior speed under various circumstan-
ces.
The cup will stay in America, and
the English may learn that Uncle
Sam is no SLOUGH even in boat
race.

State Journal.
The New DOMINION has mentioned
this fact before and as times are
rapidly becoming better the sugges-
ton has double force. Monongalia
county farmers could not do better
than to purchase sheep and turn
their attention to sheep raising. If
you are scarce of hay and other
provender sheep will winter on less
amount than either cattle or horses
and will yield a larger profit. Now
is the time to try it. Sell your
dogs and buy sheep and see if you
don't make money by the operation.

Miss Sweet was Pension Agent at
Chicago She was asked by Com
missioner Black to resign and she
sweetly smiled and said no, at first.
and then said yes. That was true
feminine style. Not one woman in a
thousands say yes, at first. But when
she says no, the chances are nearly a
thousand to one that she means yes.
And so it was with Miss Sweet after
pouting for while to show off the
independence of female character,
she very sweetly turns up with an
affirmative answer and Commits
sioner Blacks proposal is accepted.
Commissioner Black has filed her
place with a lady bearing the vulgar
Irish name, Mrs. Mulligan. 1t is
not so sweet name as that of the
sweet Miss Sweet, but Mrs. Multi
gan's husband in his life time was a
Union soldier and was at the head of
the famous Mulligan Brigade and
the Commissioner thought there was
not much in name anyhow.

Harrisburg the capital city of the
State Of pennsylvania was laid out in
the year 1855. And in the same
year Dauphin county, in which
Harrisburg is located was formed
into county. Last week they cele-
brated the centennial of the county
and city at Harrisburg and have had
a lively time Of it during the whole
week. Morgantown does not seem
to be able to celebrate even for one
day. However we hope our people
may wake up yet and celebrate with
their might. We ought to recollect
that the next centennial celebration
is a long way in the future and
many OF us may not live to see it.

John Sherman and the Blood v
Shirt.

All sensible newspapers are criti-
cising John Sherman and Foraker of
Ohio for attempting to resurrect the
old animosities of the war in the
Ohio political campaign this fall.
An exchange suggests that when
John Sherman dies the bloody shirt
will doubtless be one of the items
named in the inventory of his politi-
cal effects. 1t is greatly to the dis
credit of the Ohio Senator that he
persists in thus sticking to the
bloody shirt, but this is not the most
discreditable thing that he is guilty
of. John Sherman is one the States.
men who rushed to the South in 1876
when it was determined to defraud
the country out of their choice for
President. And while there he
treated in person with the disreputa-
BILE negro woman, Eliza Pinkston, to
have her swear to what she did.
Sherman is since known as Eliza
Pinkston Sherman. Poor old Ruth
erford B. Hayes; he was fraud and
has been justly remanded to an Oh.
scure position in politics. He is
seldom spoken of except it be with
reference to the fact that he was the
perpetrator of the fraud of 1876.
And yet Hayes did not perpetrate
that fraud. 1t was Sherman and
his conspirators who did it. Why
then should John Sherman be enti-
tied to more respect and standing
before the country than Hayes? The
fact is that all honest Republicans
are really ashamed of Sherman and
they simply tolerate him in Ohio.
Ohio is a Republican State and if
Foraker is defeated there this fall it
will be Sherman who caused it.

The Contest in PennsyIvania.

The political contest is waxing
warm in Pennsylvania. Mathew S.
Quay is the candidate of the Repub-
lican party for State Treasurer.
Like many other Republican states
men his record is not clear. 1t is
not such as to commend him to those
who desire to see the financial affairs
of this great state conducted fairly
and honestly.
Conrad B. Day is the Democratic
candidate who completes with Quay
for the office. Mr.. Day has not here
tofore held office. He is strictly a
business man, His integrity has
never been questioned and his bust
ness principles and habits eminently
qualify him for the duties of the Of
flee. Pennsylvania is generally Re-
publican but has sometimes elected
Democrats over Republicans. The
radical press and politicians are
waving the bloody shirt and shout
ing about what occurred during the
war to infame the prejudices and
passions of the Pennsylvania voters
against the South and the Demo
cratic party. 1t remains to be seen
how far the people of the Keystone
State will allow themselves to be
gulled and hood winked in order to
elect a machine politician of unsa-
worry record, over an honest and ca
pable business man.
