administered 10 him. aud claims ~ b. the
legally elected Governor Qi West Virginia.
The Democratic candidate Tor Governor
will probably do the same thing aud the
State will have dual government Then,
u the vacancy la thc senate exists after
the adjournment oi the Legislature, each
Governor will probably appoint Senator
a. H.l the yaranCy until anrlcciiun is had.
Two sets ol credentials would then bo pre-.

Swept by the Tide OfPopularity

To the tOpmOst pinnacle of success
HOstetter's Stomach Bitttrs stands a
shining proof of what genuine merit,
backed by the living force of proven facts
can attain. The North and South Amer
lean continents, Europe, Australia, the
West Indies, Guatemala and Mexico have
all contributed wide patronage and testi
mOny of the most favorable kind-but
unsolicited swell the reputOtiOn of
this sterling remedy. Among the mala-
dies for which the most convincing pu-
bile and professional testimony proves
:hat it is a benign curative, are chills
and fever, bilious remittent, dumb ague
and ague cake, dyspepsia, liver complaint,
nervousness, debility, kidney and blad-
der complaints. 1t mitigates the infirmi-

Of sedentary habits and labOriOus Occu-

of dollars have been spent in trying to
force the public to read advertisements
against their will. These lodges are
sprung upon them when they least ex-
pect them. and the effect is therefore an
noying. 1t is as if tramp should ring
your front door bell and ask for the loan
of quarter. Advertising in a reliable
newspaper is Indifferent. People expect
to see it there every day, Advertisers, in
dealing with the public, should remem-
Der that they are asking fayors; they

everything. and the place for advertising

Give IL a chance and IL can smash
more dishes than the most indus
trious servant girl in the country.
II can fall down oftcncr and with
less proyocation than the most ex-
pert iumbler in the circus ring.
IL can make more genuine fuss
over a simple brass pin than its
mother would over a broken tack.
II can choke itself black in the
face wit; greater ease than the mos,
accomplished wretch that was ever
executed.
IL can keep a family in a constant
turmoil from morning till night and
fromnight ill morning without
once varying It's tune.
II can be relied upon 10 sleep
peacefully all day when It's father IS
away at business, and cry persist
emily al night when he IS particu-
larIy sleepy
IL may be the naughiiest, dirticst,
