Oh New York, in response to an inquiry from
the transfer by manufacturers from anv for

1t is stated upon the best authori-
ty that within sixty days 1000 men
will begin the work of grading for
the extension of the Norfolk &
Western Railroad from Elkhorn
Mcdowell county, to the Ohio river,
running through Logan and Wayne
counties. 1t is said that all the ar
rangemcnts have been made to
pash the work forward to immedi-
ate completion, and the money
secured, s6,OOO,OOO of bonds having
been sold in London recently. The
road will develop one of the richest
coal territories in West Virginia,
and its operation will save 600 miles
of transportation in reaching the
Western Cincinnati, Chi
c:lgo, st Louis and other Western
cities. There are already 1000
coke ovens in the Elkhorn region
and 1000 more are under contract.
The new road will be 100 miles
in,Iength and, as said above, will
save COO miles in reaching Western
markets. At Ceredo the Ohio river
will DC bridged, and IrOnton, Ohio,
will be made the terminus of the
division, where it will connect with
other western roads, satisfactory
traffic arrangements having been
ms.Ic.
The route of the road from Elk
horn to the Ohio follows the Tug
river through Mcdowell county to
the mouth of Pigeon creek. in Lo-
gan county; thence up Pigeon to
the mouth of Laurel, up Laurel to
its head; through tunnel 500 feet
long. with grade of 48 feet to the
mile, ON the head waters of Twelve
Pole, and down Twelve Pole to the
Ohio at Ceredo.
The great saving of distance to
the Western markets for the coal
and coke of this great region can
readily be seen, when it is consid-
cred that at present the route from
EIkhorn west is through Chatta-
nOOga and Knoxville, Tenn.

Among all the shriekers in Con-
gress there is no one who shrieks so
often nor so loud as Hon. w. E..
Chandler, U. S. Senator of New
Hampshire, when question involv-
ing the free and equal rights of the
people before the law is being agi-
tated. This is especially so when
the subject is one relating to voting
and office holding and particularly
more so when it squints toward the
South. Mr.. Chandler himself, how
ever, represents the worst phase of
political Ostracism to be found any
where in this country. New Hamp-
shire hangs with the tenacity of
death to the puritanical fanaticism
that burned witches at the stake and
enacted the Blue Laws. In that
State the test of Office holding capac-
ity is Il religious one, and no mem
Der of the Catholic Church can hold
office. Its constitution forbids it..
Last week the people of the State
voted on constitutional amendment
under which all religionists would
have the same political rights, and
it was defeated. a man may be the
soul of probity, intelligent, rich, tax
payer, a Christian, but if he worships
ut the Catholic Church the doors of
political prcfcrment are shut in his
face, and because of his religion
The suspicion that n negro in the
South has been deprived of the just
results of his vote brings Chandler
always to the front, a whirlwind OF
indignation, breathing wrath and
vengeance against the law, or the
people, that interferes in any degree
with the absolute freedom of suffrage.
But of course his wrath is only
against Democrats. a State like
New Hampshire, with a Republican
majority assured, is above criticism.
But what better could be expected
of a State that puts such man as
Chandler to the front as it's ideal2-

Mr.. John L. Whitten, of this CITY

Mr.. John L. Whitten, of this city,
was nominated on the second ballot
for County superintendent of Free
Schools, at the Republican conven-
ton held here last Monday. He is
very worthy young man, barring
his politics, and held this same
position few years ago. His nom
ination, if VIC are to judge from the
expressions of defeated candidates
and their friends, was procured by
the Ringsters of the party, and that
the convention was a set-up affair.
Mr.. Written will not be apt to pull
through this time as the Democrats,
ON the 18th, will put forward a
candidate who will beat him so
badly that he will wish some of
the other Republican candidates
had gotten the nomination.

The unthinking are prone to make
game of nervousness. Yet this is very
real and serious affiiction, the harassing
symptoms of which are rendered all the
more poignant by ridicule. Thestomach
is usually responsible for these symp-
toms-its weakness and disorder find a
reflex in the brain, which is the head
quarters of the nervous system. Asa
nerve tonic and tranquillizer, we believe
that not one can be pointed out SO eff
fective as Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
In renewing vigorous digestion, it strikes
the key note of recovery ofstrength aud
quietude by the nerves. Headaches,
tremors in quiet sleep, abnormal sensi-
tiveness to unexpected noise-all these
modify and ultimately disappear as the
system gains strength from the great
tonic. Dyspepsia, billousness, rheuma-
tism, constipation and kidney complaints
are subdued by the Bitters.
