A Strong Endorsement of the Popular
Monroe County Judge.
PUTNAM COUNTY. w. VA,
October %, 1891.


Editor Of the Register
There seems to be healthy desire on
the part of the Democratic voters OF
this state to select strong man Tor
gubernatorial honors at the coming
election. Especially is it desirable to
have a standard bearer who will, in all
respects, be acceptable to the agricul-
tural class, as we'll as to all other voters
1t has occurred to the writer that this
matter should be scrutlnlZed
with great care, to the
end, that no mistake shonld be made,
by the convention, in the selection OF
the candidate for the head Of the tick
ct. A man must be chosen who is &C
ceptable to the Democratic voters OF
the State; and he must be q man OF
ability.
A farmer, If you choose, as we'll as
lawyer and jurist. At least, one VINO
will not in any manner antagonize the
agricultural interests of our State.
One whose Democracy, like Caesars
wife must be above suspicion" one
who is not a political acrobat, and who
will not be the tool Of rings and cllques:
One whose honor, whose character and
standing among his fellow citizens Is
beyond reproach. He should be a gen.
ial gentleman, who will make friends
wherever he may go, and one who IS
able and willing to make a vigorous
canvass of the State.
The writer fully believes that Judge
A. n. Campbell, of the county OF Mon
roe, fills all the requirements above set
forth, and is without stain or blemish.
He is farmer and now resides
on a farm in his county OF
Monroe. He is good lawyer and an
able jurist; now wearing the judicial
ermine in the 10th judicial district. His
democracy is above reproach. He is an
able man. He is a genial and pleasant
gentleman, not in any manner identified
with cliQueS and rings and will be &C
Ceptable TO the farmers and all other
classes of voters: will make friends
wherever he may go. He belongs to
that section which is considered the
Stronghold Of Democracy. He fills the
bill, possesses all the qualifications and
will make an excellent governor. Why
not nominate him? CITIZEN.

aoUR" WEALTH.

Said Major Mckinley yesterday: 'No
country on Gods earth of 6O,OOO,OOO people
has the wealth. comfort and homes that we
have: let us keep them" He might have
said that no other 6O, 0OJ, 600 can be selected
from the whole world who equal our co.
600, 900 in wealth and comfcrt.-InteJli0enoe
There is no doubt in the world but
that this country is the wealthiest for
It's size in the world. That is not dis
puted. The point is where is the wealth?
Who has it?
1t is very easy to talk about the per
capita wealth Of a country. 1t is also
very misleading. 1t is encouraging to
see 1t stated that we have in this coun-
try so many dollars per head, but the
main point to be considered is the mat
ter OF distribution.
As recent writer on this subject
makes plain, the problem for economists
to study is, first, the amount Of money
in the country, and, second, its distrlou-
ton. One hundred dollars per capita
means nothing unless it is so distributed
and employed as to enable every worker
TO use it in earning a living.
As to one or two facts bearing on the
distribution Of ''our wealth" we will
quote the Republican census taker, Mr..
r. P. PORTER. In a recent address be-
fore the American Statistical Society in
Boston, among other things Mr.. PORTER
figured from partial returns that the
average debt on encountered farms is
81, 2sS, and on encountered homes 1924,
and that the total existing debt son the
farms and homes occupied by the own
ers and encountered" is 50, 500, 600. OOOl
He considers it probable" that about
s,25O, 900 families occupy aud own mort
gagged farms and homes, and about TO-
25O, 900 families occupy homes that they
either hire or own clear. Mr.. PORTER
does not undertake to say how many
own their homes free Of encumbrance,
That would be a matterof more import
snce if Mr.. PoRrER's estimates were
more trustworthy, but he has given US
enough to show that our wealth.
great as it is, IS very unevenly dis
tributed and we have seen more COM
ylete and explicit figures showing that
4 is ST practically in the hands Of a
very rich few.

THINGS WELL SAID
AND WORTH REPEATING.

"Never fix the price OF anything so
low that you can't afford to advertise it,"
"Circulars hit only once, If at all,
and are then consigned to the waste
basket"
Don't advertise spasmodically- keep
at it. Your particular line OF goods
may not be wanted to-day; they will be
sought tomorrow, or the day after"
"Don't run the same card from Janu-
airy to December. Change occasionally.
Don't get into rut. Have some vim. "
''People won't and can't guess that
you have a good thing"
''Success means thought. 1t costs no
more to publish good matter than poor.
Prepare your matter carefully; make it
attractive; don't crowd; let your catch
lines be bold"
"There should be a point to every
advertisement. State your point and
stop right there. Don't keep on just to
fiji space"
"Judicious advertising
Creates many new business.
Enlarges many an old business.
Revives many dull business.
Rescues many a falling business.
Saves many falling business.
Preserves many a large business"
''He who in the world would rise,
must either fail or advertise"
Your advertisement is your repre-
sentative. 1t need not be large or i'm
posing, but should be honest and re-
spectful."
advertising is to business as a man
we'll shod; without advertising, man
will always plod."

MRS. LEMPKE ARRESTED.
Sad Case OF Poor Woman Who Is the VIC
tim ola Husbands Shortcoming.

CHICAGO, October 25.-Sarah T.
Lempke, residing in two miserable
rooms in the rear of IS Wesson street,
was arrested by United States Marshal
Allen yesterday and sent to Peoria to
stand trial for violation OF the postal
laws which her husband, 1t is charged,
forced her to commit.
The circumstances Of the case are
peculiarly distressing. Mrs. Lempke
and her husband, Charles B. Lempke,
resided in Peoria last spring. Lempke
seldom did anything, it is said, toward
the support of his wife and three little
children. One day he noticed an adVer-
tisement in Peoria paper for house
keeper and he compelled his wife TO an
swer it soliciting $40 as sort OF re-
taiper. The gentleman who advertised
sent the SO by mail and Lempke then de-
clined to allow his wife to take the place,
but he tosk good care to retain the $40.
He was indicted for using the mails for
fraudulent purposes and his wife was
also indicted with him. She had left
her husband and come to Chicago and
until she was arrested had worked about
from house to house and taken in wash
ing to support herself and three little
babies. Mrs. Lempke Is member OF
Moody's Chicago Avenue church and
the women Of the congregation have I'M
dertaken to raise fund to defend her.

IN ANOTHER column will be found
most interesting communication from
Mr.. w. NJ. KNCAID, in which that gen.
tlemau gives Major MCKINLEY a lesson
In tariff history. He does not confno
himself TO broad assertions as MCKN-
LEY does. He tells just what was done
under a Democratic revenue tariff,
which MCKINLEY says never started an
American industry, and tells just
what industries tCere started, railroads
built, mines opened, etc, from 1850 to
1860, naming many Of them. OF that
decade, which MCKINLEY told the Bel
laire audience was the most distressing
period Of our industrial history, Mr..
KINCAD says: ''The statistics OF this
country show that more furnaces were
lighted, more factories built, more miles
of railroad constructed, more iron mills
started, more mines opened, more glass
factories operated and put up, better
wages paid workingmen, no tramps, no

ORR Charleston correspondence this
morning gives some highly interesting
information, which has leaked out, thai
win be an eye-opener to West Virginia
democrats. It's this: Our Republican
friends are to-day making the most
vigorous fight they ever made to turn
West Virginia over 70 the Republican
party next year. They are making no
noise about il, but have hired agents in
every part Of the State, working under
cover, tirelessly and insiduously, quietly
circulating Republican documents and
spreading false statements and false
logic. They have already begun to
colombo the State. The Republican
State Committee is receiving all the
money it requires from the National
Committee TO carry on an effective
rstnl hunt" and they are working sys-
tematically and vigorously to capture
West Vlrglnia's six electoral votes. 1t
behooyes Democrats to keep their eyes
open and DO some work on their own
account. tits not such an ''off year" in
West Virginia as it looks.

Wool Market Conditions.
BradStrset'S.

The amount of wool being moved is
small in all leading markets. Manu-
facturers are pursuing very conserva-
tive course both in making goods and
buying supplies. The demand for light
weight goods was disappointment to
the trade, but a better season is
promised for heavy weights. There is
a fairly good movement in delaine woods,
but other woods from Ohio and Michigan
are very dull. There has been very
moderate demand for territories but sales
in the aggregate are smaller. Values are
not as firm as they were month ago
and dealers are said to be making reas-
enable concessions. Texas and Califor-
mia woods are very dull and draggy.
Australian woods hold quiet. Values
are lower, in fact sales have been made
for months at prices considerably under
those of last year. The. clip last year
was unusually large and the present one
is said TO exceed that of 1890. Woods
abroad have all been lower, owing,
partly to the large supply and the gen.
eral depression among forcing wool
manufacturers.

PREVALENCE OF DIPHTHERIA.
1t is Especially Common Among the
Young Who Live In Damp Places.
Youths COMPANION.


The Milroy lectures this year were
on the natural history and prevalence
Of diphtheria. The lecturer gave it as
his opinion that soil and geological for
nation have something to do with its
prevalence; it is especially common in
damp valleys, and in England 1t is most
prevalent during the last three months
OF the year.
The greater number Of persons at
tackled are between two and twelve
years Of age, and the liability is great
est between two and five years.
Many attacks Of diphtheria are ae-
companied by simple sore throat and
tonsilitis, and many apparently simple
attacks Of sore throat have really an in
fictitious character. The same has been
noted on this side Of the Atlantic.
Some physicians look on diphtheria
and scarlet fever as notifications of the
same disease, and the occurrence OF both
at the same time in the same family
seems st first sight to couAtenance this
view. But the theory is disproved by
the entire absence Of diphtheria in sew
eral thousand cases of scarlet fever
treated in the London Fever Hospital.
The probable explanation of the &C.
currence of both ia the same family is
that the condition of the throat in a
family affected by scarlatina ffords
soil favorable for the reception Of the
diphtheric poison.
When diphtheria does occur in con-
nection with scarlatina, ii is almost al
ways as q sequel to it. So, too. the sore
threats due TO bad hygienic surround
ings and imperfect drainage furnish ex-
cellent soil for diphtheric microbes.
Many cases of diphtheris end unex-
pectedly in fatal heart failure, some
times when the patient has seemed in q
fair way to recovery. In such cases
post norton examination reveals fatty
and granular degeneration Of the mus
cular fbreS of the heart.
This fact emphasizes the need of
prompt treatment to secure the speed
lest possible recovery. 1t follows, too,
that in all cases, until complete recov-
cry, everything should be avoided which
makes demands on the heart, very
slight effort often being fatal; and that
the physician should always make
careful examination Of the heart and
advise accordingly.
