Paine's Celery Compound.
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1895-01-18

The unequalled demand for Paine's
celery compound among the people OF
this state is but an index of the great
good that it is doing; not only in this
vicinity, not only in every Southern
State, but everywhere in the United
States.
Paine's celery compound, the wonder
full remedy that makes people well, is
beyond question the most reliable pro-
ducton of modern medical science.
Nobody disputes IL.
From the day is was first prescribed
by the most eminent of American ply
sicians, Prof. Edward e. Phelps, it has
been recommended. prescribed and its
merits extolled ty the aolest physicians.
The test medical journals have devoted
almost unlimited space to the cures it
has effected.
The daily press OF the large cities has
contained account after account of re-
markable cases OF "health restored by
Pane's celery compound"
Some OF the most famous men and
women in the country have very re-
Gently authorized the publication OF
their unsolicited testimonials. They
or their physicians have frankly told
how, when all else had failed, Paine's
celery com pound made them well.

The Chicago Herald has just devoted
a page or more to interviews with prom
inent men and women in that city who
have been made well the past year by
Paine's celery compound
There are many in Wheeling whom
it has cured of serious illness.
Paine's celery compound is the one
specific for those nervous disorders, in
digestion, neuralgia and rheumatism,
for heart trouble. Iassituds, sleepless-
ness, from which men and women in this
climate too generally suffer.
1t cures not only speedily but per-
manently. II supplies the nerves with
food; it makes new blood; it removes
the cause of disease. j. S. Bassett. Of
Atlanta, Ca, whose portrait is given
above, writes thus of his experience:
Having used Paine'S celery com
pound, l unhesitatinglY pronounce 1t
the best medicine for indigestion, bill
ousness, oyerwork, and the blood that
| have ever used"
Testimonials might be published by
hundreds. They all go to show that for
any of those complaints that arise from
an impaired nervous system or impure
blood Paine's celery compound should
invariably be taken--for IT makes peo-
pie well.

A HARD FIGHT
BEING MADE AGAINST THE INCORPORATION
OF M'MEJHEN.
TIE Petition for Certificate Being Opposed in Judge
Campbel'S Court by the B. & 0. and
Sundry Citizens - Ohsr
COur. Matters

The matter of the petition OF a major.
ity Of the qalfied voters Of McMechen,
Marshall county, for a certificate OF
town incorporation, under the provis-
ions and requirements of the Code,
came up in the Circuit Court, before
Judge Campbell, yesterday, and was
elaboratelY argued by counsel, the pro-
ceedings taking up practically the en-
tire day. The cause Of the citizens was
represented by Col. w, w. Arnett, while
Messrs. J. d. Ewing and Robert White
appeared on behalf of the Baltimore
and OHIO Railroad Company, and
Messrs. Drum. McMechsn, and sundr y
other citizens living within the limits OF
the proposed town.
The petitioners presented 5 survey
and plat Of the proposed town, showing
that il extended 10 general terms, from
the south corporation line Of Benwood
on the north TO Jim's run, oh the south,
and from the top of the west bank OF
the OQlO river on tue Wcsb W q iluS n
couple of hundred yards east OF the
county road, on the east. This makes
quite a large area, and the limits con-
tain population Of thirteen hundred,
as ascertained by a special census OF
the territory, taken in August OF last
year. The special election on the subject
of whether or not the town should be
Incorporated was taken October 6, 1894,
and showed 225 votes in favor Of the
proposition ana but 80 against it,
The opponents Of the granting OF the
certificates allege number OF technical
and legal defects in the proceedings,
among them being that the limits as
laid down 10 the papers include con-
siderable slice of the present incorpo-
rate limits Of Benwood, that they also
include about thirty-two acres OF the
territory OF the State of Ohio, high wa
ter mark on the Ohio side Of the river
having been taken as the western boun-
darv Instead of low water mark, and
that at least two constitutional provs-
ions, one being that taxation shall be
equal ADD uniform, and another that
private property shall not be taken for
public purposes without just compen-
sation, have been diSregarded.
The attorneys argued and Quarreled
over the matter about all day, and the
Court then took the matter under ad-
viSement

A MODERN INNOVATION.

That's what the "Americanized En-
cycopedia Britannica" is.
Throughout the English-speaking
word the Encyclopedia Britannica is
ranked the best, most accurate and re-
liable work In print Nobody with any
pretentons to literary judgment will
deny this statement
There are blemishes in diamonds-so
there are in the Encyclopedia Britain
MICA.
The ninth and latest edition OF the
Encyclopedia Britannica, compiled from
5 TO 20 years ago, has become out Of
date, and on account OF the rapidly OF
events, especially in the United States,
it has become as work of reference
comparatively old. Gladstone states
that the world has made more progress
in the last 90 years than in all the
past ages. Therefore the world de-
mands an encyclopedia that gives not
only the history OF past ages, but an
encyclopedia that chronicles the mig hty
events of the past 20 years.
That is just what the "AmericaniZed"
Encyclopedia Britannica does. What
is this AmericaniZed Encyclopedia
Britannica? 1t is the Encyclopedias
Britannica "Americanized," therefore
mOderntzed, and brought down to the
pres emit year.
The Encyclopedia Britannica says
nothing about such men as Bismarck,
Gladstone, Thomas A. Edison, Kossuth,
Blaine, Cleveland, Henry Ward Beecher,
Jefferson Davis, Benjamin Harrison,
nor even General Ulysses s. Grant; in
fact, nothing OF the men who lived in
the past few years, whose history is
that OF the world. The Americanized
Encyclopedia Britannica contains the
biographies of not only the above great
men, but also thousands Of others
whose names will be handed down 10
poSterlty and cherished by it as great
for all time to come.
The Encyclopedia Britannica, COM
piled by Englishmon for the use of Eng
lishmen, sights American subjects; an
illustration. the Encyclopedia Britain
MICA will tell you more about an insg-
! nifcant English borough than sover-
eign American State; lengthy details
about my Lord Tomnoddy, but sadly
silent about Ethan Allen, whose acts as
leader of the Green Mountain Boys In
capturing the first fort (Tlconderoga)
| from the British in the war for indie
| pendence placed him in the front rank
of liberty's heroes.
Yes, modern innovation, suitable
for the common-sense, everyday man
who wishes to keep abreast of the times,
and the Wheeling Register, recogniz-
Ing this and wishing every one to have
an opportunity of thoroughly examin.
ing the work, has placed the books at
the Register Office, where all are invit-
ed to pass few moments 10 investiga-
ton OF their beneticent offer.

THREE LIVES LOST.
Fire in Pelham Street Sweat
Shops, New York City.
Three Men Burned-Another Jumps
and Dies from Injuries.
Thought That Remains Of Others MAY 30 In
the Ruins.

New York, Nov. 3.-Thc buildings at
3. and Z Pelham street, sweat shops.
We're burned, early this morning. Loss.
800, 600. Morris Deuschi, n tailor iumped
from "a third story during the fire and
fractured his skull, He died later in tho
hospital. The bodies of Jacob Shapiro, a
Waterman, Isaac Bcnscn, a tailor, and an
unknown person were found in the ruins,
today.
The three buildings took fire from floor
to floor as though their walls were covered
with kerosene. All avenues Of escape were
quickly cut off.
No one knows how many persons were
in the darkened sweat shops when the fire.
started, and even yet beneath the debris
there may be lying the bodies of homeless
tailors who had found shelter for the night
within the building.
Ten persons were injured. There were
in the buildings 80 sweat shops, in each
of which from $500 to $1,000 worth of
stock. The tenement house and 8 Pei
ham street, directly opposite the sweat
shops, was badly scorched, and the six
story tenement, corner of Monroe and Pei
ham streets, was damaged $1,000. Tho
total insurance is about $50, 900.
Not the faintest clue to the orr gin of the
fire could be discovered. If it was in
cendary all traces of incendiarism have
disappeared and there is no prospect of the
fire fiend being discovered. Even the
exc ct spot in which 1t started could not
BE- ascertained Two of the buildings were
owned by We'll 4 Meyer. and the other by
Morris Levy.

AMMEN RAM REJECTED.
She Does Not Come Up to Contract
Speed Requirements.
Corrected Returns Show Speed on Trial Trip
to Be 1913 KNOBS.

Washington,aN Nov. 3 The official speed
OF the Ammen ram katahdin is 1913
Knots as reported to Secretary Herbert,
Saturday, by the trial board, and the
vessel stands rejected under the contract,
bearing the distinction of being the first
vessel of the new navy falling to each con-
tract requirements.
Unless special provision is made by the
next session of Congess, the Bath Iron
Works of Maine, which built the hull and
machinery, must rely upon selling her to
some foreign government to recoup their
expenditures, in which case complica-
ton would arise, as 500, 600 worth of
armor belonging to the United States is
fastened in place on the vessel and is
valueless for other purposes
Secretary Herbert said he was powerless
to waive the specifications of the contract
which stipulated that, unless the ram de-
veloped II knots or over, the vessel should
be rejected.
After a long conference with Gen. Hyde,
the builder, the secretary however con
sented to take care of the vessel at the New
York navy yard, pending a further con-
sideration of the matter by President
Cleveland. No efforts will be spared to
effect some compromise before Congress
meets If President Cleveland decides that
modification in the contract speed re-
quirement would not injuriously affect the
governments interests

DON'T LIKE CARTER.
An Alleged Scheme to DispIace Him from Re.
publican National Committee.

Chicago, Nov. ga special from Indian
apolis says: 1T is highly probable, as a
result of the conference of local Republi
cans with exAttorney General Kitchener,
Friday night, that the friends of Mr. Har-
rison will move early for the displacement
of Carter of the national Republican COM
mittee, and the substitution, if not of an
out-andout Harrison man, at least one
who will be in accord with the majority
sentiment of the party in the matter of
financial Legislation.
1T is stated that Mr. Kitchener assured
the other gentlemen present that large
majority of the members of the committee
were not in accord with Chairman Carter
in his views on the silver question. Car
ter is known to be opposed TO Harrison on
this ground and is quoted as saying that
Harrison could not be elected. The
friends of the ex-President feel that the
committee can be reorganized in such a
reorganization that Harrison could more
than likely control the election of a chair
man. No one has been suggested for the
place. 1t is said that the candidates will
come from the East

HON. JAMES W. wakefield
Appointed Receiver Of the Maine Mutual Lie
Insurance Company.

Portland, Nov. "a hearing on the
petition for rceivership for the Maine
Mutual Life Insurance Company of Bidde-
ford, was held before Judge 5. C. Strout of
the supreme court, Saturday afternoon. The
company was represented by it's general
manager and attorney, William A. Roberts
of Biddeford. Insurance Commissioner
Carr of Bowdoinham, was present, accom-
panied by counsel in the person of l. G.
Cornish of Augusta Attorney Josiah H.
Drummond was there in the interests OF
a client who holds II contested claim against
the Keunebec Mutual, which was recently
absorbed by the Biddcford company.
Manager Roberts stated that the com
pany has assets of about $50 900, includ
ing tt o mortuary fund in the hands of the
State treasurer. There are contested
claims aggregating $4,000. The aggre-
gate of other claims outstanding is about
s27, 900. The company was not insolvent,
he declared, till it's officers agreed to petit
ton it into insolvency SO as to be able to
transfer its business to the Bay State
Beneficiary Association of Boston. The
latter organization has assumed and
guaranteed to fulfill all of the Maine
Mutual's contracts, except its maturcd
claims.
When the court asked for suggestions
from counsel As to the selection of re
ceiver Manager Roberts said 1t was his
intention to ask the appointment of ex
Mayor James o. Bradbury of Saco, who
has in the past acted as counsel for thu
Maine Mutual, and is familiar with all
its details and could best protect the in
terests of the policy holders bat as he un
dcrstood there was likely to be opposition
to the appointment of Mr. Bradbury, Mr
Roberts said he would be satisfied will
