"We haven't any very rich people
here, but what is more and better,
we haven't any very poor" This
was the remark concerning this
town which l heard on arriving here,
and after looking about said to my
self that it was true. Another thing
| said to myself was that the town
seemed to have been rebuilt since
saw it the last tine, in 1887 By
this is not meant that it has an air
ofnewness, as of something made in
day, and perhaps to perish as
quickly, which has been the lot of
many an American town. Morgan
town has come to stay, for was it
not incorporated before Pittsburg
WASP, Before the war it was the
seat of many old and wealthy fami-
lies. To day it has the solidity of
character which it had then, but
with more life and energy and gen
eral culture. The old fashioned
houses are modern homes now in the
accommodated as well as actual
sense of the word, and not a few of
item of the high class. As a rule,
however, they suggest all there is in
the remark referred to, that if there
are no very rich people here, there
are none of the very poor. There is
sign of good living everywhere, and
consequently in the faces ami voices
and manners of the people, the signs
of good humor.

The fad" of beer drinking may look
trivial. 1t is followed by the i" fad +" of
kidney disease, as direct consequence.
And that is not trivial. That means the
grave and is solemn. The situation
would be truly alarming and threaten
the extinction of the race were it not
for two things.
1. There is always hope of reforma-
ton in the hearts of the people. When
the dangerous increase of kidney dis
ease is sufficiently sounded, there will
be reform. This will assure future
generations.
2. AS to the afflicted of to-day, q
knowledge of DIR. Fenner's Kidney and
Backache Cure will restore all who are
adroit enough to resort to it's use before
it is too late. Also cures female weak
ness, heart disease, rheumatism and all
blood diseases. 1t will neither deceive
nor disappoint If in need take a bottle

dangerous. Money refunded if salts

unlimited quantities. The famous

the eastern side of the Monongahela
there are 10000 acres of it in two
tracts, while on the western side
there is an immense and almost un-

abundant, and unsurpassed for pur.

DEMOCRATS FAIL TO SECURE
A QUORUM.

Vote on the TarIT INTERCHANGEABLE
ebloctors Explain.

WAsHINGToN, Jan. S.-The caucus
Friday night amounted to nothing as
far as getting quorum OF Democrats
to respond to their names in the house
Saturday. When that meeting adj
iourned Friday night all the members
pledged themselves by the passage of
a resolution to vote for the rule
brought in by the committee on rules
fixing time for the consideration and
a vote on the tariff bill. Saturday
morning it was developed that several
eastern Democrats who had been in
the caucus had left town and at all
tin-cs during the session Saturday
there were enough Democrats con-
veniently absent to break quorum.
There are a great many members
away on business in the courts repre-
senting clients. The United States
is giving them fee each of $4,000 per
annum, mileage to and from their
homes, 1920 each session for postage
stamps, paper and pocket knives, but
their private business is more impor-
tant to them, it seems, than the pub
lie business. 1t may be that their in
difference to the public work may
partly proceed from the fact that they
have a dead sure thing on the money
the government gives them. The
fight in the house Saturday was
enough to sicken everyone who looked
upon it. Roll call succeeded roll
call and these were Interpreted with
a demand for tellers where the mem
bers had to pass between two or
three of their number who counted
them. Thus the foolishness, sad
thing indeed, proceeded all the day
long until the Democrats had to
shamefacedly admit their inability to
do anything. Late in the evening an
other rule or order was brought in by
Mr.. Catchings, representing tho COM
mittee on rules, which ordered the
sergeant-at-arms to arrest and bring
TO the bar of the house all absent
members and he was ordered to go
to the homes of the congressman to
get them. The resolution is not
couched in the language herein en-
ployed, but its meaning is as above
expressed. Then the house ad-

The water jars are made of porous

two N lillin, chairman of the SUP
committee in charge of the internal
revenue feature OF the tariff bill, out
lines the salient feature of the in
come tax measure, which he expects
to complete in day or two as fol-
lows; The corporation part of the
measure will not require an inquisi-
ton on every individual to determine
what amount of corporate stock he
holds, but the assessment will be
made against and paid by the corpor
alton in the first instance, and hence
man owning corporate stock will
not be worried by the assessors UNI
less he is subject to an income tax.
Tho corporation will pay the tax of
its incorporators and will in turn
charge it up against them. But to
prevent taxing man twice, il cor
poration pays for an incorporation on
the dividends he would derive he in
turn is credited with that amount
in assessing his general income
for taxation. As to foreigners and
foreign associations holding interest
bearing securities in this country,
they will be assessed the same us our
own citizens. 1t will not be necessary
to go abroad in order to ascertain
these investments, as the assessments
against the corporation will cover all
its stockholders foreign as well as
domestic. The collection of the tax
will be in the hands of tho internal
revenue bureau. 1t will not necessi-
tate the appointment of new tax col
lectors in the various states, but
few additional assessors and deputies
Will be required to work under the
present revenue collectors. 1t should
be understood that the tax will be
confined to about $4,000 people, ac-
cording to estimates furnished me by
the treasury department, so that no
large force will be necessary to keep
track of such comparatively small
class. Tho individuals taxed will not
be more than one-third as many men
as were taxed under the old income
