A Mystery.


How the human system ever recov-
ers from the bad effects of the nau-
seous medicines often literally poured
into it for the suppositive relief of
dyspepsia, liver complaint, constipa-
ton, rheumatism and other ailments,
is mystery. The mischief done by
bad medicines is scarcely less than
that caused by disease. If they who
are weak, bilious, dyspeptic, consti-
pated or rheumatic, would oftener be
guided by the experience of invalids
who have thoroughly tested Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters, they would in
every instance obtain the speediest
aid derivable from rational medica-
ton. This medicine is searching
and at the same time thoroughly
safe remedy, derived from vegetable
sources, and possessing. in conse-
queDce of its basis of pure spirits,
properties as a medical stimulant not
to be found in the fiery local bitters
and stimulants often resorted to by
the debilitated, dyspeptic and Ian
guild.

Big B. & 0. Passenger Traffic.

Owing to the heavy through travel
on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
the express trains both east and
west are being run in sections, as
occasion demands, to accommodate
the traffic. In commenting on this
fact Tuesday General Passenger
Agent Charles 0. Scull said: Sep
TENDER is the best month of the year
for passenger business. People are
returning to their homes from the
pleasure resorts, drummers are on
the wing, students are returning to
school. l am glad to say that our
proportion of the business has in
creased wonderfully. In fact our
passenger business all the year has
shown an increase even larger than
last year when the Baltimore and
Ohio carried over million more
passengers than during the previous
year.
The excursion season now closing
has been a remarkably good one for
railroads, which is rather surpris-
ing statement when the unfavorable
weather and depressed financial con-
dition are taken into account. /
suppose the increase can be explain
ed on the ground that the travelling
public is being educated up to ex-
cursions, and is taking advantage of
them. But even outside of this ex-
cursion business general passenger
traffic is increasing all along the
line, especially between New York
and Washington. We found it nee
essary to add additional cars to our
Royal Blue Line equipment. We
have also received three more of
those immense Baldwin locomotives,
which MAINTAIN the high standard Of
speed established by the Royal Blue
Line between New York and Wash
ington.
We have also found it necessary
TO add to the equipment of our after
noon express for Cincinnati. The
equipment of this train which
will be known as the sSouth western
Limited" will be entirely new. the
cars Of the same design and con
struction e. those on the Royal
Blue Line.

A PET LION.
A West Virginia Woman Contributes to
the Zoo at Washington.

WASHINGTON, September 1S.-The
Carnivora House at the Zoo in Rock
Creek Park has received an interest
ing addition in the form of a young
lion cub eleven months old. w. II.
Blackburn, superintendent of the
Zoo, says that the cub, which is a
male, is the largest and finest of its
age he has ever seen.
The lion was presented TO the Zoo
by Mrs. Susan 4. Beebout, of Alder
son. w. Va, who has raised it from
few daysold cub. The infant was
born in Anderson the parents being
pair Of lions belonging to small
show that was stopping in the city
at the time. The show people had
no means of caring for the cub. and
so gave it to Mrs. Beebout, who
raised it in the house. He soon grew
to know his mistress and to follow
her like puppy. As he grew larger,
however, Mrs. Beebout began to fear
the results of his increasing size and
strength, and in letter to the Zoo,
offered her royal pet TO that institu-
ton. Mr.. Blackburn at onse went
on to Anderson and secured his prize,
and at once returned with it and in
stalled it in it's quarters in the ami
NAL house. where it now attracts
even more attention than Dunk, the
elephant.

SENATOR FAULKNER
Talks Entertainingly ON the Future of
the Democratic Party.


WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-Sepator
Charles j. Faulkner was in Wash
ington yesterday in consultation
with Senator German. who has re-
turned from Saratoga much benefit
ed by his summer outing. Mr..
Faulkner, who is now on his way to
the Far West on a Democratic mis-
sion, is very hopeful of the future for
the Democratic party and is not a
believer in the Republican prediction
that the so-called revolution of last
fall will go backward. "At the same
time" said the Senator to your cor
respondent, cit behooyes us to be
watchful and ON the alert. This has
been a year of good crops, and in
such years | have noticed that many
agriculturists, unless it is Presi-
dental year, are apt to be attending
to housing or threshing or moving
their crops in preference to going to
the polls to vote. Leaders and local
committees must see to it that the
vote is gotten out and to this end be-
sides the campaign of stump speak
ing and the distribution ofliterature,
attention should be given to the work
of organization, which should be
made thorough and effective. The
danger that apprehend, and which
can easily be avoided, is over-confi-
dence. We must not be surprised,
and to that end must take steps to
get our vote out. If we do that a
substantial victory is certain this
fall, an6 that means the election of a
Democratic President in 1892"

A WIDOWS STRANGE FORTUNE.
A Washington Pa, Lady Mysteriously
Gets Fortune.

Washington Observer.
Mrs. Sudie Mcdaniel Woods, wild
ow of the late Asa. r. Woods, ESQ,
in an interview with reporter on
Wednesday evening at her home on
West Chestnut street extension, told
the following extraordinary story:
II first heard the news of my good
fortune about two weeks ago. AS
yet | cannot comprehend it all, since
1t was altogether unexpected by me.
The property which has come into
my possession is situated in and
about Lewiston, Idaho. 1t is valued
at fully $4,000 and will yield me
an income of about $36 daily. The
property consists of hotel situated
in the city, which brings rent OF
$500 month. The hotel is three or
four stories high. lido not know ex-
actly what it is worth, but as there
is $4,000 worth of furniture in it and
the rent is $500 a month, it must be
quite valuable. A residence in the
city which is mine is built of blue
grey stone. There are two farms
situated between a mile and half
and two miles from Lewiston which
are very valuable. On one of the farms
there are 500 sheep, which will brin g
from $3 to "a a head, on another
there are l40 head of horses.
II have also six checks, five for
$1,000 and one on the First National
Bank of Washington, for $4,5 500. The
deeds are four in number, one calls
for property worth $l1, 400, another
for $25, 300, third for $4,000, and
the fourth for the hotel property, the
value of which / do not remember.
There are also coming to me dia-
mond breast pin, worth 81, 200, ring
worth $3.50, watch and chain, val
ued at $3.50, and a necklace and
charm, worth 5000"
In answer to the question as to
whether she had anticipated a gift
in any manner, Mrs. Woods said
six weeks ago l received letter
from a clairvoyant in New York sta
ting that would yet wear diamonds.
The name of the party whopresented
the gift to me | refuse to make pub
lie owing to promise. i met the
party in this town since Mr.. Woods
death, which took place on December
y, 1889. The party was visiting in
town at the time and met them on
ly casually"
Il was married twenty two years
ago, in this place by Prof. Miller, of
Waynesburg college. My maiden
name was Sudie c. Mcdaniel, and
am now 80 years old. Mr.. Woods
was on the Reporter staff in Wash
ington for seven years; previous to
that he worked on the Republican
at Waynesburg.
THE deeds were sent here for me
to see some days ago, and after hav-
ing been examined were returned to
Lewiston to be placed on record there.
They will be here again in about ten
days. l will visit my property next
April and see how things are by that
time"
Mrs. Woods was very pleasant dur
ing the entire conversation and i'm
parted her knowledge freely, all ex-
cepting the name of the party who
had been so generous to her. She
had six checks with her which she
stated were the five $1,000 and one
$4. 500 checks, but which she would
not allow the reporter to see.

Hon. William l.. Wilson.
Greenbrier Independent.


The speech of this distinguished
orator and statesman at the fair last
Thursday, was in keeping with his
high reputation and was greatly en-
joyed by all who heard it. Prior to
his arrival, the question on every
tongue was-will Mr.. Wilson be here?
and on the grounds, when it was
known that he had arrived, there
was a rush for seats in the grand
stand, all being anxious to hear him.
But few men in public life to day
seem 70 have stronger hold upon
the confidence and good opinion, we
might say, the affections of the peo-
pie than VIM. l.. Wilson. His abii-
ties command their admiration
whilst his character and unsullied
record secures for him their fullest
trust and confidence.
When here last week he had lust
returned from trip to the North
west and was suffering from q
hoarseness and a severe sore throat,
but Notwithstanding this he spoke
with his usual eloquence, fuency and
power, and held his large audiences
in the closest attention.
The leading object of his speech,
as we understood it, seemed to be to
impress upon the farmer the idea
that in these days of eager compe-
tition from every direction and in
every line of business, it behooves
him to study well the means and
laws of production, the facilities for
transportation, the competition at
home and abroad and the principles
and methods by which prices are
fixed and the markets governed, and,
above all, that he SO direct his efforts
upon the farm as to produce the best
possible results whether in raising
grain or stock. Mr.. Wilson elabor-
ated and illustrated this point so as
to make it clear that intelligence
upon the farm, close observation of
the principles, laws and methods of
production, accurate knowledge of
the laws of trade and conditions at
home and abroad were as essential
to the success of the farmers and
stock raisers of Greenbrier as to the
manufacturers of New England. The
speech showed Mr.. Wilson to be a
close observer Of passing events and
careful and thoughtful student of
economic principles.
In concluding his splendid ad
dress, the speaker produced the wild
est applause, when in an eloquent
peroration, he reminded the people,
that, after all, the great object in
life was not to make money but men
intelligent, honorable, high-mind-
ed men, who knew their duties and
will always maintain their rights,
and comea-noble, pure and vir-
tuous women who will adorn the So
ciety in which they live and stimu-
late their sons to noble deeds.

How Old Dan Rice s'Did Up" the Can.
didate for Congress.

Bourbon" in the Mt. Carmel
Register speaking of two noted
political campaigns says:
was reading, the other day, of a
noted campaign Of Senator Kenna,
OF West Virginia. The point at is
sue was the location of the state
capital-W Wheeling and Charleston be
ing the aspiring points. The peo-
pie at large took but little interest
in the matter, and Kenna, who ia
vored Charleston, got tired of talk
ing to empty houses. One night
bright idea struck him. There was
circus making tour of the state,
and the Senator entered into an ar
rangement with the manager whereby
he was permitted to speak to the
audiences between the acts. This
was the program: The grand entree,
then performance by a trick ele-
plant, followed by "the beautiful
queen of the flaming zone in her I'M
PARALLEL feat of riding an untamed
mustang bare backed through a hoop
of fire." Then Kenna would make
his speech, being presented by the
clown. This program was faithfully
carried ont. The clowns introduc.
tion of Kenna was one of the telling
points. He did it after this fashion:
Ladies and gentleman, old and
young, without regard to race, color
or previous condition, l am about to
introduce to you Mister Kenner, the
brag young orator and coming states
man of your thriving state. He is a
selfmade man. AS pillow hoy, he
plowed corn on these rugged hills,
barefooted, bareheaded, and say it
proudly, in his shirt tail, until he
was 16 years old, He can strike fire
from the flint rock with his heel.
His well-shaped and intellectual
head defies the hottest rays of a
July sun. His constitution is as
tough as yonder rhinocerous in the
cage to the left of the band wagon
His eyes is piercing as the American
eagles. In his movements he is as
quick as the mountain fox, and his
disposition is as mild as the dying
swans. Hear him, ladies and gen
tlemen, and bear in mind that the
performance is not yet half over"
Then came Kenna with his talk.
