There are many good effects from the
free use of buttermilk. 1t alone will
often remedy any acidity of the
stomach. The Tactic acid, needed by
many persons is supplied by it, much
more than by any other known drink
or food. One very important effect Of
buttermilk is said to be the alienation
of the oppression around the heart that
so many old persons suffer from. aud
it should always be constantly drank
by them. On farms it is often fed to
the hogs, as most persons arc not

Since 1866 Mr.. William P. Hubbard has
been a prominent and practical factor in
endeavoring TO advance the material in
terests OF West Virginia. Called TO the
duties OF a very prominent and responsi.
BILE position in early youth, he displayed
such aptuess, energy and ability that
made his counsel valuable and his assist
ance sought for. Going finally into the
practice Of law in his native city Of Wheel.
ing, he has acquired reputation second
to none in his profession and practice
among the most valuable in the State.
Recently he defended Mayer Grubbi in the
vile investigation forced upon the re-.
spectacle people Of Wheeling, and dis.
played commendaole GOODNESS and
courage In the presence OF clustering and
violent witnesses, also great power for in
cisive and pertinent cross.examination,
whilst his speech was remarkable for sub:
stantial argument, logical reasoning, and
sledgehammer effect, Mr.. Hubbard has
developed great personal resources, and
deserves such recognition at the hands Of
the people as will give his faculties full
freedom for usefulness in the councils Of
the State and Nation. The people will be
wise in honoring him, thereby honoring
themselves by the wisdom OF selection.

The Need of Police Protection In n Certain
Section OF Town.
Several citizens Of East Wheeling who
reside on Eof' street from Seventeenth
down to the creek, and in that vicinity,
are again complaining about the disorder
in that locality and the absence OF the
police when the same is going on, or il
the police do happen to be about, the
manner in which they wink at the racket.
This last howl for reform OF
some sort-it Is said that anything
would be an Improvement on the
present Rrrangement-was caused by
the disturbing events OF last Saturday
night 1t was about o'clock that Off.
Ger Shafer got tired and decided to take
off his buttons, badge and club and re-
sign. From that time up to four o'clock
Sunday morning 1t is said that not q po-
liCeman was seen in that locality, and in
the meantime there was accordingto all re-
ports continual picnic along Eof street.
In the first place well known man who
lives with dissolute character got into
disagreement with the woman. Their
quarrel was transferred from the house
in which they lived 10 the street, and the
profanity and obscenity passed between
them was frightiully disgusting. This part
Of the programme being over, crowds OF
men, young and old, out on lark, passed
up and down the street talking loudly and
pTOfanely and obscenely, disturbing and
keeping awake respectable and orderly
citizens living in that vicinity. They
varied their racket by stopping ut certain
houses and loudly demanding admission,
all OF which caused disturbing noise.
AS the morning grew on these men
either went home or were housed in some
Of the sporting houses thereabouts. Then
a noted character who lives on Eoff street
came home and proceeded to raise row
with his mistress. This racket lasted un.
I'll alter o'clock and was plainly heard in
the street. At this hour two policemen
appeared, but did nothing to stop the
noise. The complaining citizens heard
and saw all this and they are justly indig.

pY WAY or pEpIcArIoN
Tho First Council Nesting in the New Cham.
bana VII DO ma DAISI.n


The regular seml.monthly meeting Of
Council 10 be held this evening promises
To be an eventful one in many respects.
In the first place, the body will move into
its new qusrters-the Fiat Branch into
the room on the second floor in the south.
east corner, formerly occupied by the
Supreme Court, and the Second Branch
into the room opposite, in the southwest
corner. formerly the senate chamber.
How the members will behave in these
new quarters Is an undecided question.
They hsve met for so many long years in
dusty, musty, dingy rooms with little or
mo- furniture in them, that 1t is question
whether their blood will be rich enough
to stand the gorgeousnees Of the new
rooms. The elegant brussels carpets, in
dividual desks, revolving easy chairs,
fancy cuspidors, fresh paint and general
air Of light and elegance may paralyze
them, but it is more likely 10 stir them
10 greater exertions. II il should do the
latter q wonderful flow Of oratory, bad
grammar aud involved logic may be
looked forward 10 at to'night's meeting.
The new chambers are something like"
and reflect credit on the city and the
committee that fitted them up.
There will be sufficient excuse Tor
speech.making in the business to be pre-
scented this evening. In addition TO the
regularly monthly reports there will be
the Gas Trustees appointments. Dissatis-
fed Democrats are still kicking over the
appointment OF Hon. B. L. Butcher to the
Secretaryship, and they will make
an effort to defeat his confirmation. MIR.
Butcher is q thoroughly competent gentle
man and would fill the position satittAc-
torily.
The supposition is that Porter Smith
will report to Council his appointments to
fill the three vacancies existing in the
police force and one substitute, but Porter
Smith il q peculiar parsonage and what he
will or will not do Is hard to say. II he
should report his appointments there ia
likely to be some fun over the two ap'
pointed to fill the places made vacant by
the discharge Of Officers Barum and
Croughan.
Last, but not least, Is the matter Of
Strengthening Caldwell's run. That Is a
matter involving an expenditure OF money,
and yet contrary to ordnance 1t was al.
lowed to originate and pass in the First
Branch. True, the resolution does not
state that SO much money is appropriated
for the work, but 1t does pledge the old
City Building property, which Is the same
as money, for the payment OF the work.
Altogether, to-nigEt's meeting will
probably be very interesting one.

Eject OF tho Hard Times on n Prominent
Profession.
A well known young man about town
with reputation for making his living by
his wits was recently in conversation with
several gentlemen at hotel, and proposed
to illustrate the difficulty nowadays Of
getting even the most unsophisticated to
"bite" at any scheme 10 relieve them of
their wealth. Said he, Indicating three
guileless looking grangers standing near:
"Now, there's three fellows you would
think d be dead green. l bet you they're
onto three-card monte go hard you
couldn't get Fem to try to pick skein O.
yarn out Of peck o. potatoes. Watch
mew
And he took out of his pocket two Or
binary large white business cards and q
postal card, and approaching the strangers,
laid the three cards in row and began 10
shuttle them over and over each other, re-
marking: "Gentlemen, Ihave something
new here think'll interest you. Looks
simple, but sometimes appearances are
deceptive. You see here two ordinary
white business cards and postal from my
mother-in.law telling me she'll be on to
see us next week. Notice the lack Of re-
BemblanCe. Now, watch me close or you
may get fooled. III bet any man in the
crowd five, ten, fifteen or twenty he can't
pick out the postal card"
Nobody offered to try.
Gentlemen, watch me close; 1t looks
easy; you may catch me; sometimes they
do. In view Of the hard times and seem
it's you, don't mind goin' dollar on it.
A dollar to the gentleman at picks out
the postal card"
An amused smile had been playing over
the gsangers' features, and now one Of
them tapped the young man on the shout
der and remarked: Young man, we're
not as green as wo look. We know all
about that game. We've travelled before"
"See thst?" said the man with the new
game. snow, who says fellows in my line
amt workingmen? tell you it's harder
to beat people now an 1t is to carry hod

Sunday evening when the newspaper

that he had secured q permit from the
