There IS more catarrh IN this section of
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, aud until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For great
many years doctors pronounced it local
disease, and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease and therefore requires constitution
al treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manu-
featured by f. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo,
Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally in doses
from ten drops to a teaspOOnful. 1t acts
directly on the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system. They offer one hundred
dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send
for circulars and testimonials. Address,

Better PAY for school Teachers.

Better Pay for School Teachers.
RThe laborer is worthy Of his
hire" Hard work and faithful SER
vice demands adequate compensa-
ton.
This applies with peculiar force
to the work done and the salary re-
ceived by West Virginia public
school teachers. There is no hard
er work done than that performed
by conscientious school instructor.
Tho constant effort to compel the
pupil to avail himself of the means
of improvement offered, the thous-
and worries consequent upon an
earnest striving to preserve order
among number ofunruly children,
render the work of faithful teach-
er perhaps more difficult than al
most any other.
Yet, the compensation received
does not begin to compare with that
paid workers,in other fields. Thirty
dollars per month is perhaps the
average salary paid public school
teachers in this State, and of that
amount he often has to expend one
third or one-fourth for board alone.
This is glaringly inadequate and
should be substantially increased.
West Virginia's financial condition
would admit of larger salaries be-
ing paid, and provision should be,
made for an increase. Many State
officials receive twice even three
times the amount paid common
school teachers and do less work.
The labor attached to position
should regulate theamount of salary
paid and if this fact is recognized,
we feel sure of having better paid
teachers.
Better salaries mean better teach
ers. 1t is difficult to obtain good
service for little money. AS the
salaries paid teachers increase, Just
in proportion will their average of
efficiency be raised. The most eff
fectual method of improving our
public schools is to increase teach
er's salaries. When this is done
the standard of examination for
teachers may be raised and men
and women of higher qualifications
will enter the profession.-Kdnacha
Gazette.

IHE pRssIpENT,s MESSAGE.
a EoreeAat OF Hs Recommendations on

Important Questions.
WAsHISGToS, Nov. Currency re-.
form, il is said, viii bs tho keynote of
the Presidents message Tfisa state
ment comes from member of the cabi-
net who talked with Mr.. Cleveland.
AN that is known is that his recon-
mendations will embody many of the
features of the so-cailed baltimore
plan and it is said to the surprise of
many that he viii suggest the removal
or iacation of the tax ON state bank
cliT1eli cy, and viii point ont also the
nere res 81 preventing further raids
on Inc gold reserve that necessitates
bone 3ssre.
Tie tariff recommendations of the
president Will, it is said, be limited. It
is limited that the tariff viii not take MP
much space in the next message. The
president has practically abandoned
hope of free coal and free iron for the
present. The sugar question is likely
to consume most of the space reserved
to the tariff in the message. Free
sugar Is impractical in the present state
of revenues and would mean loss of
SAC, 100000 annually to the treasury.
The president will probably say so, but is
disposed to recommend the repeal of the
one-eighth of / per cent ''ditferential''
duty that was the subject of so much
comment in congress. Mr.. Cleveland
thinks this is simply an unnecessary
concession to refiners. The suggestion
is likely to include also Recommending
ton for the repeal of the one-tenth of 1
per cent additional tax imposed on inn
ported sugar from bounty grant
ing countries, which has provoked the
row with Germany and threatened our
export trade to that country.
In treating our foreign relations the
president will, it is said, in addition to
exploiting the facts OF the Chinese re-
quest for mediation in the China Japan
war. give his attention to Hawaii. aud
devote considerable attention to Adj
miral Walkers report on Pearl harbor,
and the annexation sentiment ON the
islands.
Under the head of domestic relation,
the recsnt general railroad strikes will
be discussed by the president, and he
will undoubtedly ask congress to create
a permanent nonpartisan commission
of arbitration.
The debt of the Southern Pacific rail
road is now nearly $40, 00O, GOO, and the
president vill suggest foreclosure, un-
less it is promptly paid.
He will also recommend government
aid for the building of the Nicaragua
canal.

The Fargo Divorce Suit Not All Tried
Court

The Fargo Divorce Suit Not All Tried in
Court.
FARGO, N. D., Nov. 27.-It is re-
ported from Helena that Attorney Gen
eral Haskell of Montana will bring suit
for criminal libel against Aaron Hirsch-
field because of charges made by the
latter in his testimony III his case here
against Haskell and Mr. Hirschfeld. 1t
is likely the present case will be brought
to speedy termination. Hirschfield' s
friends fear trouble to him and wish to
get away as soon us possible.
Although Mrs. Hirshfield appeared in
Fargo for the first time last week, and
the evidence on behalf of the plaintiff
only has so far been presented, the feel
ing against Birschfield has grown SO
bitter that he is insulted on the streets
and denounced in public interviews. 1t
is feared that this feeling VII eliminate

has this sentiment grown that there are
even threats against the court if the
public Interpretation of justice is not
melted out. The defense has no wit
nesses, being without funds to pay the
expenses of their coming to Fargo
Their testimony is contained in deposi-
tions which will require several days
reading.

A Noted Theft from the Government

A Noted Theft from the Government.
The most noted theft from the
government in recent years was
that of silcott, the cashier of the
House of Representatives. The
reason assigned for the embezzIe-
ment at the time Silcott disappeared
was that the cashier had been lead
ing fast life This was the expla-
nation publicly given. But their
was another story in circulation at
the time that had many believers.
1t is said that the first shortage in
cashiers Office grew out of the ad-
vances made to an ex-member of
the House, who was making a con-
test for a seat in the House. The
general belief was that he would be
seated. According to the story &C
cepted by some, money from the
cashiers funds was advanced to
him dnring his contest, and when
the House voted not to seat him he
was unable to return what had been
advanced. silcott thereupon took
what else he cosld lay his hands on
and fed Washington Star.
