Life or Death?

1t is of vital Importance that it should
be understood by persons whose kid
neys are inactive, that this condition
OF things is finally inductive of a
state of the organs where life hangs in
the balance. Bright's disease. diabetes,
albuminnria are all diseases of very OBJ
stinate character in their mature stage,
and all have fatal tendency They
often battle the most practised medical
skill, and the most approved remedies
of materia medica. But opposed at the
outset-that is to say, when the kidneys
begin to discharge their functions in
actively-with Hostetter's Stomache Bit
tiers, the dangerous tendency is checked.
Very useful, also, is this household med
icine for those ailments of common oc-
currance-co constipation, biliousness, dys-
pepsia and nervousness. 1t is a safe
guard against malaria and averts chronic
rheumatism.

Beyond the narbor Bar.

Capt. William Penn Wright, more
Familiarity known as ''Penn" Wright,
died at at his home near Buffalo,
Putnam equity, October II, 1894,
aged sO-years. He was at the time
of his death the oldest steamboat
man on the Kanawha river, having
commenced his boating career in
1890.
Penn Wright was a noted charac-
ter, an honest and charitable man,
and a Christian. His knowledge
of the Bible and his ability to quote
almost any passage from it, was
marvellous AS a pilot he stood at
the head of the profession, and it
was an old saying among boatmen
that he knew every rock in the bed
of the Kanawba river. Captain
Wright owned several, and COM
manded many, of the best boats
that ran on the Kanawha, and was
among the most careful and success
full rivermen. He actively engaged
in his profession until the last year
or two, and was always in demand
when good pilots were needed. He
leaves a wife, daughter and FIVE
sons, many relatives and a host of
friends to mourn his death. All of
his sons, bat one, are river pilots;
among them being Capts. VIM. A
and James Wright, of this place,
and Capt. Tom Wright, of Buffalo.
Mr.. Wright was strictly temperate
-abhorred tobacco, and until re-
Gently an extremely well preserved
man. He was a friend of young,
deserving men, and many of the
pilots of to day have much to thank
Penn Wright for

..The women Did It,,

Pittsburg Pest
The dry goods stores are making
Democratic voters these days by the
object lessons they are presenting
the good women of the land of the
benefits of free wool If there was
time enough ex Speaker Reed could
repeat next month his requiem OF
1890, that "the women did it" But
it will como all the stronger rext
year, aud above all in tie year
after. Dress goods for women and
children have fallen SO per cent in
price since the new tariff bill passed.
That is what you hear across the
counters at all dry goods stores. 1t
means that fabrics for women's
dresses that were selling a few
weeks ago for 20 cents t yard arc
now selling at so, and other things
in proportion. The goods, too. arc
of better quality. The American
wooden manufacturers are 10 high
feather. They are making more
goods, making them better because
of free wool, employing more men.
at the better wages of steady work,
and selling greater quantities than
under McKinleyism.

which it is intended, as Chamber

passes but some member of the fam
lily has need of it. a toothache or
headache may be cured by it. a
touch of rheumatism or neuralgia
quoted. The severe pain of a burn
or scald promptly relieved and the
sore healed in much less time than
when medicine has to be sent for.
a sprain may be promptly treated
before Inflammation sets in, which
insures a cure in-about one-third of
the time otherwise required. Cuts
and bruises should receive immedi
ate treatment before the parts be-
come swollen, which can only be
done when Pain Balm is kept at
hand. a sore throat may be cured
before it becomes serious. a troub
lesome corn may be removed by APP
plying it twice day for week or

and several days of valuable time
saved or pain in the side or chest
relieved without paying doctor

The Philadelphia Record has re-
Gently made canvass of the textile
manufacturing section of Philadel-
phia to get at the real condition of
this interest in that city. Philadel-
phia, as regards the amount of cap
ital invested, the number of hands
employed and the value of the out
put, embraces the greatest aggre-
CATION of textile interests to be
found in the world. Wooden car
pets, hosiery, and uphoIstering
goods, are the chief articles of man
ufacture. The Record found that
out of about thirty establishments
of this character, nearly all are run
ming on fu!l time, with full force
of hands, or are making prepare
tions to start at once. IF to these
we add the large pumber of idle
manufacturing establishments that
are resuming all over the country,
many of those industries that raised
the loudest howl for the protective
tariff that has been abolished by the
Democratic bill, we have obtained a
very significant fact, illustrative of
the benefits of free trade. Since
the old stocks SO long on tho mar
ket are now exhausted, and trade is
at last freed from SO many of the
burdensome restrictions imposed by
law, we have abundant reason to
expect an era of business prosperity
unprecedented in the annals of the
country.-Kana,cha Gazette.

Golf is the name of the latest out
door sport. 1t is imported from
England, where ladies of high de
gree indulge in its destinations.
Judging from illustrations of women
in the act of playing the game it is
a scientific application of the prin-
ciples of shinney, recollections of
which are likely to make most men
in this country Involuntary rub
their shins in memory of innumer
able bruises resulting from a failure
to "shinney on their own side"
Any game that will give women ont
door exercise, and accustom them
to wearing common sense heavy
soled and low hceled shoes cannot
but be beneficial.
