Through the Weary Hours

Of many night, made double
 long by it's protracted agony, the rheumatic sufferer losses to and fro on his sleepless couch, vainly pray ing for that rest which only comes by fits and starts. His malady is one which ordinary medicines too often fail to relieve, but there Is ample evidence to prove that the efficient blood depurent, Hostet- ter's Stomach Bitters, affords the rheumatic reliable means of re- lief. Check the malady in its in- incipient stages, when the first premonitory twinges come on, with this agreeable medicine, and avoid years of torture. Whatever be the rationale of the active influence of the Bitters upon this malady, cer- tain it Is that no evidence relating to it's effect is more direct and posi- tive than that which relates to its acton in cases of rheumatism. Like all sterling remedies, however, 1t deserves protracted, systematic trial, and should not be abandoned because not at once remedial. It is equally efficacious in dyspepsia, indigestion and kindred disease.

In March he and the Indians were arrested by U. $. Marshall Gard and taken to Los Angeles for trial. The Times states that the supposed murdered man is alive and we'll and at work in his field P miles south of Yuma. It also claims that the witnesses against Chief Miguel and the ac- cused murderers are simply ''pro- fessionals," and make a business of testifying. If this is true and the old doctor is alive, these "pro- fessional" liars should be most severely punished. The United States Grand Jury found an in- dictment against the three accused Indians and they are held for trial for murder. Chief Miguel was re- leased and is now at home on the at Fort Yuma.

He VIII Provide Objectionable Ncichbors
For Those Who Opposed His Saloon.
c. L. Darnall, who kept a saloon in
East Roanoke and who was refused a
liquor license some time ago on account
OF the strenuous objections of tho
AUDITING property owners, has dcter-
mined to make trouble to those whom
no considers did him great injustice.
Darnall withdrew his first application
before the excise board for license at
his old stand. but finished his new
saloon on the lot where also stood a
double tenement house which he pur-
chased short time before. Again he
was defeated by objections before the
judge of the Hastings Court. 1t was
then that he threatened to get even
with those who had fought him.
Darnall said to TIMES reporter yes
to-day that in few days both of his
buildings would be filled with not less
than twelve families of negroes. "They
have harped about police protection,
but assure you they will have to have
it now"
The affair has caused considerable
e xcitement in that locality, and it is not
known what the outcome will be.

TIE posrorrIcE nALLors.

The balloting over the postoflice site
has made onlya fair beginning. Ballots
have been coming in in drblcts during
the last four days, but on Saturday
more came in than during all the rest
of the week. 1t is perhaps, too early to
forecast any result from the present
status of ballcting, but anyone who
thinks the balloting is confined to the
Z two most talked of sites is vastly mis-.
taken.
There have been strong assurances
given that public sentiment would have
due weight with the Treasury Depart
ment in the selection of the site, and no
time should be lost in having every resi-
dent Of Roanoke above the age of 81
cast a ballot. Citizens will have done
their duty when their ballots have been
cast. 1t then becomes the duty of the
owners of the most popular sites to see
that their property is offered the govern
ment at reasonable pricc-thc lower
the better.
In voting for site, however, the flu
ture growth OF the city is entitled to
consideration. The site to be chosen
should be one that will be central five or
T ten years from now rather than one
which is central at present.
The ballot up to IL o'clock last night
stands as follows:
Corner Roanoke and Campbell sts....127
Corner Jefferson and Tazewell sts.....1l5
Corner Salem avenue and Lewis st.. So
Corner Horny and Robertson sts....... 1
The returns Will be again announced
in few days. Send in your ballots.

CHATS WITH THE PEOPLE.

c. w. Beckner: 81 think the City
Council should rcfurnish the Opera
House. The old chairs and scenery
which are now used were placed there
when the house was first built, seven or
eight years ago. Then the city was
small and the rent for the house did not
amount to much. But now they are re-
ceiving good rent for tho place. and
certainly think we should have now
chairs and scenery. Then, again, if the
house is put in good order and the new
opera house should be built, the rent
which is now charged could be main
tanned. In that case it would be good
investment for the city"

James A. Mcconnell: ~ sec that the
Roanoke Gas and Water Company has
written to the City Council in regard to
furnishing one OF the overhead bridges
SO that their water mains can be laid
across the bridge and the matter has
been referred to the special bridge com
mittce. There is no necessity for re-
fcrring anything to tho City Council
that concerns those bridges. AS far as
the city is concerned they arc all COM

as far as we can go.

RENTS.

Our esteemed contemporaries have
for several days been discussing tho
subject of high rents in Roanoke, and
deeming Thorn factors in determining
the pros pcrity Of the town. 1t is an in
tcresting subject, but needs to be treated
with radical directness to avoid crrone-
Gus positions. Rents are determined,
first, by the price of land second, by
the cost of buildings. The relative
scarcity of buildings in now town like
Roanoke may be, for tho time
being, third factor, but
only temporary one. 1t is
true that in Roanoke population has in
creased out of all proportion to the in
rents have been given stronger upward
tendency than would have otherwise
been displayed; but it is a mistake TO
suppose that rents can be determined at
will. II rents could be put up because
landlords wanted them to go up, they
would be as high as the skies; and if
rents could be put down because tenants
wanted them down, landlords would find
house building very unsatisfactory line
for the Investment of their surplus capt.
tai.
The first and great detcrminatc factor
of rent is the price of land. If land is
high the rental value of that land will
be proportionately high. Building ma
terial is subject to competition. The
erection of buildings is subject to com
petion, but there is little or no compc-
tition in land. The quantity of land is
always fixed. Land is neither added to
or taken away from. Its value is deter
mined by population and increases with
tho increase in population.
The most populous city in tho world
has within its limits the highest land
popula ted portion of the world lies near
to the highest rentals of the world. 1t
is as true of Roanoke as it is of London
or New York. There will be some low
ering of rents due to the increase in tho
number of buildings in proportion to the
but unless there should be
break in land values there will be no
further reduction of rents.
The only way by which the rents of
Roanoke may be materially reduced will
be through the operation of the la US of
taxation. The taxes which are placed
upon buildings are added eventually to
the rents, because they represent por
ton Of the outlay which the landlord
must receive back in the form of rents
to make his investment good.
The abolition Of the taxes on improve
ments would, to that extent, have
tendency to reduce rentals because, in
the first place it would act as stimulus
TO the building OF houses. Virginia
wisely cXempts manufacturing plants
rom taxation for period of fifteen
years. That is an induccncnt to the
location and erection OF manufacturing
plants. is it not true. then, that the
exemption of houses from taxation
would equally encourage the erection OF
houses?

AN EXPLANATIONS WANTED.

ExTreasurer John Bardsley, Of Phi,a.
delphia, made a statement, week or SO
ago, duplicating Postmaster General
Wanamakcr in the keystone Bank
troubles, and twas suppressed by the
editor of the Philadelphia Ledger. Ills
statement was made public Friday
before the examining committee. 1t is
needless to say that Mr. Wanamaker
enters an emphatic denial to the main
points in Bardslcy's charge, but there
are other points which certainly need
further Qualification.
Mr. Wanamaker held some $500
shares of stock in the keystone Bank,
which was fraudulently issued. Query:
Why did not Mr.. Wanamalscr, as soon as
he learned that the stock was fraudu-
lently issued, or that there was any
question as to the legality of it's issue,
Immediately report his discovery to tho
Treasury Department, that tho Key
stone Bank might be Investigated?
A DUNCo steorer tried to do up Sena-
tor Daniel in New York, the other day.
The Senator says that the bunco gen
tlcman was very we'll posted on Wash
ington and Lynchburg and talked famil-
arly of his fellow townsmen. Tho
Senator broke it to the bunco stecrer, as
gently as possible, that he knew his
little game. lie spared his feelings as
much as he could, but tho poor bunco
man nearly sat down and wcpt to think
that his little gamo should have been
such a miserable failure. In the Ian
guage of the minstrel, there may be
flies on some other Senators, but there
are no flies on Senator Daniel. His
ability in getting in and out OF cage of
lions without suffering injury has not
been equalled for twenty-five years.
