A AbS0luteIy ParalyxIng Visitation or Rats

chant from OIL City. now In town buying goods
and I'm late q week or so In putting In my
spring stock just on account OF It, for 1t look cd
for spell as II the rats were going to carry of
everything eatabe or movable in the town.
They foraged in droves about the place. and II
ono division Of rats that had set out to loot
grocery or butcher shop wasn't large
enough In numbers to accomplish the purpose.
they sent out messengers. and In less time
than It takes to tell 1t reenforcements would
arrive and victory would perch on their ban
ners. Some merchants tried closing up their
stores to save their goods. but that was prob
ably the worst thing they could have done.
The rats couldn't be kept out by closing tho
stores. and they resented the attempts to cir
yomvent them by destroying more than they
would have carried away.

As matter Of justice to ourselves
and to the reputation Of Dr.. Leslie +.
Keeley's Double Chloride Of Gold Rem
edies for the cure Of the Liquor, Opium,
Morphine and Tobacco, Habits, We
warn the public that these remedies
are used BY no institution or sanitari-
INN, except those established by the
Leslie E. Kelley Company, under the
uniform name or AThe Kelley Insti-
tute.r
All others claiming to use these REM
edies are frauds and impostors.
There are now ninety Kelley Insti-
tutes established in various pats Of
the country, where the Kelley Treat
ment is administered, and there is no
Kelley Institute at present in West
Virginia, the nearest being that At
Hagerstown, Maryland. where the
Kelley treatment = being given sue
cessfully, IS will be testified to BY
many citizens Of Hagerstown and the
vicinity.
The fraudulent establishments adj

the public that they have . cure.
There is no established cure but that
administered ct the Kelley Institutes,
and al others claiming to have sue

and are trading on the reputation Of
DR.. Keeley's remedies. Full informa-
ton will be given parties relatives to

management and personal direction Of
that eminent physician, Mr.. Matthew
A. Blair, with the numerous so-called

The Blair Institute does not use the

J. Nelson Wisner. 1t il an follows:
BERNER- TOLLIFER.
Berner confessed having murdered
the man for which he was tried and
convicted Of manslaughter. He also
confessed other murders. A faithless
jury failed to discharge its duty, riot
followed, hundreds were killed and
wounded, public property was destroy
ed, the militia vas called out-lynch-
ing prevented and the law maintained,
and now the rioters are being indict-
ed. Tolliver never confessed, the jury
that tried him found him guilty 81
murder in the first degree, he was SEN
fenced to death and awaiting in jail
the process Of the law, he vas taken
from the Jail without process Of law
or color Of authority, and hanged. The
man who waited opposite the Jail one
hour for the mob to come is honored
by Republican administration by re.
ceiving the appointment Of Post-mast.
