MORE THE MERRIER
ANOTHER NEW RAILROAD THAT WILL En-
RICH WEST VIRGINIA.

MANNINGToN, w. VA, May 2.-That
Mannington's boom has something more
substantial than oil behind it has been
evinced to-day by the movement toward
the construction Of the new railroad, when
the corporators of the Pittsburg, Washing
ton and Southern Railroad Company met
to-day and completed their organiza-
ton. Early in the forenoon Blacksville's
delegation reached our little city, and the
corporators went to work in earnest. The
result of the meeting was the election OF
Board of Directors and the proper officers
The officers of the new road are L. NJ
Jackson, President; Thompson Strosnider,
Vice President: A N Prichard, Treasurer;
and Chas. w. Cowan, Secretary.
The new road will run through the best
agricultural country in the vicinity, and
along its line are found large beds OF pot
ters' clay, glass sand, fire clay, sandstone
and iron ore. The farmers along the
route are jubilant over their prospects,
and have freely given the right of way and
subscribed to the stock. 1t will cross the
line of the proposed Wheeling and Con-
nellsville railroad and will make connec-
ton with the Washington and Waynesburg
railroad at WayneSburg, making an air
line from Pittsburg into the heart of
West Virginia.
The stock has been taken by the farmers
and others directly interested, and with
the good selection of officers the work will
be pushed to completion at once. 1t is ex-
pected that the road can be completed and
trains running by October next. The new
railroad, the gas, the brick pavements and
many other improvements will make Man
nington one of the most desirable points
for location in the State.

MARTINS FERRY.

The base ball season is now here, and it
seems Martins Ferry is to be without a
club, although we have some OF the best
material to organize from in the way OF
PLAYERS, and no doubt could make splen-
did showing in the circuit that will play IN
the Ohio Valley this season. The grounds
here are Of the best and could easily be
fenced at small expense. The players
would only ask for expenses, and the ben
eft derived from the people who would at
tend from the neighboring towns who be-
long to the circuit would more than justify
those who should be interested in the mat
ter. We know Martins Ferry could put
I'D very strong team and be able to cope
with any Of the clubs that they would have
to meet.
Mr.. and Mrs. James Gather entertained
quite number of their friends last Thurs

The first championship games were play
ed Saturday. II the club is organized a
change of the schedule will be made and
Martins Ferry will have her share OF the
dates. Everything points favorably that
Martins Ferry will be in it.

Probabilities of Its Being Contes ted.
Prominent Counsel Mentioned.
CLARKsBURG. w. VA, May 2.-The will
of the late Judge G. D. Camden has not
been probated, and, from the present out
look, may never be. 1t, however, has been
read, and its contents are the constant
topic Of conversation. 1t contains but few
provisions, bequeathing five hundred dol
lars each to Mrs. Sommers and Mrs. Rams
burg, his daughters; five hundred dollars
each to Genevieve Boggess and Wilson
Camden, his grandchildren, and FIVE hun
bred dollars each to Horner Davis and
Eddie Davis, his step-children; one hun
dred thousand dollars to Myra Camden,
his second wife, in pursuance of marriage
contract, and all the residue of his estate,
personal and real, estimated by those who
are competent to judge at a quarter of a
million dollars, to his second wife, Myra
Camden.
The will is the subject of considerable
criticism, and the opinion generally is that
it is harsh will, especially as it virtually
disinherits those of his own blood. 1t IS
conceded that there will be contest, and
it is rumored that John Basel, John A.
Hutchinson, n Golf and Alpheus Hay
mond, prominent lawyers, have been re-
tanned for the contestants.

Imperial Millions!

Innext Sundays REGISTER will begin one
of the most intensely interesting stories
ever published. 1t is by that celebrated
novelist, Julian Hawthorne. Life and
love animate the entire narrative, and the
elements of mystery, jealousy and revenge
serve to complicate the situation and IN
volve the characters in a plot that II re-
ouires nineteen chapters to unravel. A
mysterious murder casts a dark shadow
over the opening chapter and the novel
closes with a touching tragedy. But the
general tone of the story is anything. but
dc pressing, and the interest is enchanted

the use of bypnotism in aid of schemes OF

practice of this art may become IN the
hands of INSCRIPTIONS operators. Thls
story is Americanin its scenes and its SEN
timents and is one of the finest creations OF
its eminent author.

WHAT IS THE GRIP?
This Mysterious and Terrible Disease Care
fully Analysed and Observation-Disclosures to
Do When 1t Comes.


Nearly every physician, every scientist and
every sufferer has been asking this great ques-
ton: What is the Grip: Some have asserted
that it is a dangerous mcrobe which comes into
the system, breeds several millions every Sec
ond, and soon overruns the body with disease.
Others have said that We are passing through a
region Of star-dust, and that the minute par
ticles are drawn into the body with every
breath. Whatever it may be, it is certain that
it is something within the body which is fight
ing with the body to undermine the life.
What would common sense dictate in such an
emergency Counterfeit the enemy. Drive 1t
from the system. Do not triae with it. Act
promptly and wisely at the irstapproach which
you can readily detect. Take something which
can counteract their deadly influence. Spirits
OF some kind are the best thing to take, and
whiskey is preferable to any other kind OF
spirit but il should be borne very carefully In
mind that only pure whiskey Will have the
effect, and it should also be remembered that
Dutfys Pure Malt Whiskey stands at the head
OF all preparations and is the only medicinal
serted this the doctors have verified 1t, and
millions Of people have proven it beyond a
doubt There are many inscriptions dealers
who will assure you that any whlskey VIII
answer the purpose, but they are wrong and are
trying to deceive yon. In case OF Grip you can
not afford to take anychances, therefore take
that which is, beyond question pure, medicinal
and the only valuable whiskey upon the market.

What Asafetida Is.

Asafetida is a gum derived from the
root of a plant which grows in Persia,
Afghanistan and other parts of Asia.
The root is cut, and thick, milky juice
exudes, which, when dried, gives the
asafetida of commerce. The overpow-
ing, offensive smell is due to a volatile
oil. which can be removed by dissolving
the gum in alcohol and distilling the
compound. Disagreeable as it is to
western ofactories, in Persia and many
parts of the east it is used as a cOndi-
ment for food. Louis GlObe-Demo-
