and nothing could be done with it. The
seas were constantly washing across the
vessel at this time. Half q dozen of the
crew were in the rigging, and the captain

was forced TO return. An hour later

boat. which had been dragged two miles
over the cliffs, set out to make second
attempt, but he met with as little SUCCESS.

After several unsuccessful attempts, all
made with great risk. the life savers con-
quered the raging elements and rescued
the crew Of the Minnie Rowan after they
had been in the rigging for hours, ex-
posed to cutting wind and icy waves,
while the vessel bumped and dragged on
the shore off first cliff.
Captain Stanley put of in his lifeboat
for last attempt about 9:l0 last night,
the sea having calmed down somewhat,
and reached the side of the disabled
Rowan.

Is more to be dreaded than an open and
visible one. That subtitle and lurking
foe, which under the generic name of
malaria manifests itself, when it clutch
es us in its tenacious grasp, in the vari-
Gus forms of chills and fever, bilious re-
mitten, dumb ague or ague cake, can
only be effectually guarded against by
fortifying the system against its insidi-
GUS attacks with Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, a thorough antidote to the pois
on of miasma in the system. and safe
guardagainst it thoroughly to be relied
upon. In the event of malarious at
tack, avoid poisoning your system with
quinine, and use instead this wholesome
remedy, unobjectionable in taste and
far more efHcacious than any drug
Use the Bitters for dyspepsia, bilious
ness, constipation, kidney complaints
and rheumatism.

DIR. Boyd, who is a graduate of the

cinnati, has had five years experience
in large city where everything must
be kept up with. He is complete mas
ter of the branch known as Crown and
Bridge Work. His plate made with TIN
has been patented. 1t has only a thin
rim around the gum and cannot posi-
bly, fall unless taken hold of with the
hand.
DIR. Boyd has always made the study
of CHILDREN's TEETH specially, and
has filling material of his own, as they
should never be filled with amalgum or
gold. He will be glad to give his opin-
ion to parents, as above all, children's
teeth should not be extracted until late
in life, which is the cause of so much
irregularity in the permanent teeth.
DR.. Boyd extracts teeth without pain
by the use of Eureka.

Every business and professional
man in this town should have an ad
vertisement in this paper if it is
nothing greater than two inch card.
In addition to the benefit it does the
advertiser in bringing his business
to the attention of the public, it is a
slight token of his appreciation of
the benefit that a well conducted and
enterprising newspaper is to a town.
Further, is a notice to the world at
large that his particular line of bust

CLENDENIN ITEMs.-There is hard
ly family in this community that
has escaped the clutches of disease
since winter set in. Grippe is here
among us with its usual severity.
a new swindIing scheme, or rath-
err an old one newly revived was
tried on number of storekeepers
along the Ohio River Railroad last
week. Two men, neatly dressed,
would enter a store and one buys
some small articles, and offers in
payment a two dollar bill. He re-
ceives back, of course, the change
minus the price of the article. He
then tells the clerk to give him
back the bill, and he will pay him
in coin. The clerk usually gives
him back the bill, and the swindler
passes over the price of the article
in coin, and in a great many cases
the clerk is confused and the swind-
Ter gets away with the rest of the
change. The scheme did not work
at Ben Lomand, last Friday, how
ever The swindlers before leaving
made inquiries concerning the num-
Der of stores between Ben Lomand
and Huntington.
