MosnuItoes Plenty.

These nights, mosquitoes seem to be
about the most plentiful things on
earth. They seem to be getting worse
every night. Saturday night, they
were out in force People who say that
the pesky little insect never touch
them, have had to give 10, and say that
il they knew any place to go where
they were not they would at once de-
camp. 1t was funny yesterday to hear
people tell OF how they fought them
Saturday night. They al! have q way,
but none OF them tell OF having come
off vlctors. One man said that a good
way 10 do was TO walt until one would
grab you by the neck, and then Kill
him. Usually he has bitten you before
that time and IL you do kill. there are
hundred coming in at the window
to take his place. Another man told OF
how his way was to hammer himself on
the head with the pillow, and still an
other thought that the best way was to
get under blanket, and wait Some
OF the druggists have what they call
MosQuitod. A fellow bought box Sat-
urday night and went TO bed. The way
YOU do with the Mosquitod Is 20 light
little cone-shaped ingredient aud let
her smoke. The man mentioned lighted
the rig, but soon had 10 retire from the
room in favor of the perfume. Ii
seems that the mosquito has TO stay,
and about the only wsy TO do Is to lie
and fight it out with them.

Some Mar Not Kemembsr ThIs.

In the fall OF the year 1868, during
the great civil war, the river was
about as low as il is now. James Chris
tie, an aged man, now living out the
Bethany pike, near Altenheim, recalls
an interesting Renaissance in connec-
ton with the low stage Of the water
and the war. During that fall, Mr..
Christie had the contract Of furnishing
cattle for the United States for food for
the soldiers. At the time named, he
had 1000 cattle near where the "Dro-
vers' Home" in upper Benwood now
stands, Water, like it is now, was
very scarce and it was very hard for
the cattle to get water. One morning
Mr.. Christie drove his entire herd to
the river, assisted by mis- force OF dro-
vers. When the cattle began TO drink
the steamboat j. Il. Ford, which ran
between this city and PoWhatan, could
be seen coming up the river. The cat
tie absolutely drank the river so dry
that the steamer had &c wait for a
couple OF hours so that water could &C
in the stream so that the up
river course could be continued. II is
a good thing that there are no herds OF
cattle Ike that about now, If they

DAVID EvANaEL"
Prof Brewer Discourses In an Interesting
Manner upon Love.

Prof. D. W. Brewer conducted relig-
ious services at Odd Fellows hall yes
terday afternoon. Mr.. w. w. McClel-
Ian played cornet and Mrs. w. W. Nc
Cleland presided at the organ. After
prayer by Bev. Inman, a Baptist minis
ter, the Evangelist took his mis- subject
Love" and spoke earnestly and pathes-
ically for forty minutes to an apprecia-
tive audience.
What this old world needs, said the
speaker, is more love for humanity,
more love for the home. He said he
knew children that had an unnatural
look because their happy spirits were
clouded ard crushed by being cntfed
and scolded by their too cruel parents.
We need to get spark OF the divine
love and then fan it into flame. We
need more love for the dumb brute.
What preachers and teachers and evan
gelists need is deeper and more sym
pathetic interest in fallen humanity.
We must make men feel that we love
Thorn before ne can save them. Does 1t
seem impossible that some men can De
redeemed? Have they gone so far that
there Is no retracing the steps? No
forever no. "As long as there Is life
there is hope"

*-Estimated.

It will be seen from the above that
there have been nine days in the fifteen
wears when the weather was as warm
or warmer than yesterday. -Four of the
these days were In 1881, and FIVE In
1884. Since 1884 the mercury has not
touched 95 in September until the pres
ent month.
The present intensely hot weather
has accentuated the distress caused by
tbs protracted drought, and as evapo-
ration is taking place rapidly there will
be a steady diminution in the visible
supply OF water, which augurS Ill for
both man and beast in this Vicinity.
Yesterday there were some slight local
indications Of rain, but only the liz nest
sprinkle fell in the city during the after
noon. 1t rained at st. Clairsville, a6ou:
p.m., and later thunder was TO be
heard south Of the city.
Whether the weather has anything
to do with the mosquito crop is uncer-
tain, but il is certain that these winged
pests are more numerous this year than
for many seasons, and the entire popu-
lation is nearly crazy with them. The
run upon the drugstores for oil OF pen
neyroay, oil Of lavender, oil OF winter
green and similar alleged prevtatives
has been heavy for several days, and
eliminated last evening in grand
rush, which left the retail druggists
with an exhausted stock. AT nine
o'clock last night efforts were made by
retailers to-fenew their supply OF these
oils, but DO more was TO be had In the
city. One druggist said he had about
three hundred calls for oil Of pennyroyal
or oil Of lavender during the day, and
others reported an almost equal de-
mand. The trade In cano2ies has also
been active for several days, but the
mosquitoes keep right on buzzlng aud
biting just the same.

THE TORRID WEATHER.
TIE MERCURY AT THE IS NOTCH AGAIN,
YESTERDAY.
10 Only Two Years 0ni Of the Last Fifteen Has
the First Ten Days Of September Been
Warmer Than the Pres
enl Month.

Yesterday the matter was just little
worse, in point of warmth, than upon
Saturday.
At three o'clock in the afternoon the
big thermometer at Schnepfs marked
ninety.fve degrees in the shade, and
this, too, despite the fact that the sky
was partly cloudy. Had 40 clouds In
teryened to break the full force OF the
SUMS rays, the one hundred degree
mark might have been reached, when
the day would have almost equalled the
memorable September Of 1881, when the
mercury touched one hundred on the
5th, again on the 9th, and marked
ninety-eight on the 18th, and ninety
seven on the sth. As is was, the records
of 1851 and 1854 were not quite equalled,
but with the exception OF these two
years, the ten days we have just passed
through have been the warmest for M
teen years back.
The following table, compiled from
the observations taken by Observer Z.
Schnepf, shows the maximum temper
ature for each day from September lst
to 10th, inclusive, for fifteen years back,
with the average temperature for the
period in each year. 1t will be seen
thar 1881 was the warmest, with an
average of 93.7; 1884 comes next, with
an average of 92.7, and then comes the
present month, with an average OF 9l.o.
In all the other years the average was
below 90, and for six years the average
was below so, 1855 having an average OF
bat 1913. In figuring the first ten days
of the present month, it will be seen the
maximum temperature for to-day IS
estimated at 90, which seemed entirely
reasonable last night

GEN. GoRpoN's LECTURE.

OF Gen. John b. GOrdon's lecture on
the Last Days of the Confederacy, +"
which will be delivered at the Opera
House Thursday evening, the Washing
ton Post says:
"The occasion was worthy Of the
multitude which came to enjoy 1t. A
soldier above reproach; a statesman
without q blemish; an orator whose
peers are few, was to tell them the
story of time whose smallest incident
is the most interesting theme q patri-
otto American can consider. Even II
every man, woman, and child in the
immense hall had been free from tender
memories OF the civil war, and merely
came like holiday seekers TO be amused
and entertained, the pathos and elo-
ouence, the brilliant wit and pictur-
esque fancy of the orator, would have
moved them to just such sobs and tears
and laughter and spontaneous bursts OF
rapturous approval as those so full OF
the sentiment OF the occasion were In
splred TO last night.

Gen. Alfred Caldwell, who was NOM

honor, owing to pressing business en-
gagements, which absolutely prevent
him from giving the time and services
which the campaign requires. The fol-
lowing letter was handed by Gen. Cald-
we'll to Hon. Robert Simpson, chairman
of the Committee which was appointed
to notify him OF his nomination:
WHEELING, w. VA, September {.
Hon. Robert Simpson, Chairman, Ctiy:
DEAR SIR: l feel compelled by sense
Of duty and obligation to interests other
than my own. TO decline the honor OF the
nomination for the Office of State Senator
from this district.
Engagements of such character that they
can not honorably be ignored and that i'm
peratively demand my time, absolutely
prevent me from giving to the campaign
about opening, the services and attention
the Democratic patty rightfully expects Of
any person who accepts a nomination Tor
Office from its representatives.
l can not accept the nomination knowing
that to do my duty as nominee would mean
to neglect my prior obligations to others.
1t is painful for me to have to refuse to be
my partys candidate and, if could only
consult my own inclinations, 1 would be
more than glad to be such candidate and
contribute to the best of my ability to the
success Of the campaign. Coming as it did,
entirely unsolicited, 1 regard the nomina-
ton as the greatest compliment ever ten
dered me, and assure you and the other
membe of the Democratic Senatorial
Conference that Of shall always remember
with gratitude this evidence Of your re-
spect and confidence.
There are so many gentlemen OF our
party in this county, with more
time and ability than 1 have to
devote to the duties Of Senatorial
candidate, that know you and the other
conferees will make a better selection for
our partys interests and choose gentle
man to whose support and election l pledge
myself to contribute to the best Of my
ability.
Confident Of the triumph of our candl-
dates, and again expressing my deep regret
that must necessarily decline the Sena-
torial nomination. am sincerely and
gratefully your friend,
