MUNYON'S
ANSWER.
Tell the Truth and Nothing
but The Truth.
Do His Remedies Cure or No: Pie Says the PeO-
pie Have Right to Know, and Re Refers TO
Many Who Fave Been Cured and Who will
Cheeriully Answer All Questions.

There is 20 punishment too severe,
says Professor MunyOn, for those who
! deceive or take advantage Of the sick.
You may sell shoddy garment for pure
wool, and you only affect mans purse.
but when you pass off spurious medi-
cine on sick person you may cause
months OF suffering and possibly the loss
Of precious life.

| they do not they should be publicly con-
demned and their sale prohibited by law.
Certainly, every opportunity has been
afforded the puolic TO test his remedies.
| Thousands OF walls nave been given
| away 10 all the leading cities OF Amer
/ ca. Newspapers have made the most
searching investigation and thousands
/ of people have testified that they have

Professor Munyon does not claim that
! his remedies will cure in every case, but
is prepared to prove that they do cure
! over 90 per cent. OF all durable cases,
when the remedies are taken according
| 10 directions.
Perhaps the best evidence that car
| be offered is 20 refer TO few OF those
/ who have tested the remedies and let
| them tell the facts in their own way.

get up an entertainment for the benefit
of the members OF the order for Feb
ruary 22d, Washington's birthday. Zane
Lodge is one Of the best orders
in the city. We want no man
TO be able TO say that there is any pos
sibilty of the benefit certificate of any
worthy brother remaining unpaid, from
first to the last and forever we must
keep faith with the dead and our grand
old fraternal ship will In the fullness OF
time enter upon the everlasting seas OF
eternity ireighted with blessings from
hundreds OF thousands of widows and
orphans benefciaries of our noble order.
1t is hoped this sketch will be the cause
OF every lodge taking renewed activity
and never be discouraged under any cir
cumstances. All who know Zane Lodge
No. to-day and remember her a few
years ago back, can not but exclalm
what a mighty work has been accom-
plished by few enterprising faithful
workers.

On Tuesday evening Bates Lodge No.

ton, which assem- bled In the rear room,
where was found a good representation
OF the stockholders, to whom the OH
GERS Of the Association submitted their
reports, showing everything in splen-
cid condition, aud for whose satisfac-
tory management of affairs they, and,
in fact, the entire Board of Directors,
received the unanimous thanks OF the
stockholders. As there was small
floating debt, committee was
appointed from each OF the
bodies meeting in the hall, and they will
call on them ST their first meeting to
take up about $500 worth more OF stock
each, which If il be accomplished, the
home OF Wheeling Masons will be on
sound financial standing. Brethren
should attend to Fix the matter. On
Wednesday evening West Virginia Con-
sistory held monthly meeting with Sir
Rose presiding in the chair and who
conferred the thirty-trst and thirty
second degrees on an aSpirant In good
shape. On Thursday Nelson Lodge
held regular meeting with large gath
ing OF brethren present. Work of de-
grees we're deferred until the next com
munication.
Osiris met on Friday evening with a
good turnout, but we did not as yet find
ont what is on the slate for the future,
but we can advise those of our acquaint-
ances and friends out in the inner sec

SONS OF VETERANS.

The report OF the Adjutant Gen
eral of the Sons eff Veterans for the
Q uarter ending September 30, 1894,
make very interesting study TO every
friend Of the order. Ii will still
be more interesting To preserve for
future reference, as il marks the turn
ing point in the orders career, when it
reached the ebb tide in membership,
and when6e the swelling increase
of after years may be recRoned. II is
curious to note how closely this lowest
point approximates that rerched by the
Grand Army OF the Republic during the
hard times of 1873 and succeeding
years. December 81, 1876, the mem
bership in good standing OF the e. A.
r. had fallen to &c, 500. That of the
Sons OF Veterans is now 32,621.
The Sons Of Veterans have far more
material with which TO build than the
Grand Army had. In some respects il
is more hopeful material, because it is
composed OF young men just enter
ing into life, full OF enthusi-
asm, patriotism and love of country.
Very many Of the veteraqs has been so
wearied by the fatigues and exactions
Of their long service that they almost
hated anything that reminded them OF
military service. They were deeply in
tent on catching up their places in the
procession of life, which they had lost
0y entering the service and getting
competency. They wanted to get their
business established, their farms de-
veloped, their mortgages paid of, their
children educated.
On the other hand, the Sons Of Vet.
Grams are ready to enter into an organ
ization which cannot help being great
benefit and service to the country;
which will giAe them wide circle
Of valuabls scQuaintances; which will
bring them into closer relations with
natural friends and allies. While the
objects Of the Order appeal TO their
best instincts, it offers distinct and pal
pable advantages to them individually,
and II these are presented wisely and
the management of the Order is intelli-
gent there can be 70 question of its
rapid growth. 1t has the highest and
broadcast field OF any organization in
the country, and should within few
yeats have a membership OF 1000, 900.
All communications for the Secret Soci-
ETY. department. of the "sunday Register"

Red Apples as Bsfbcs.

washington ECSt.
The little man with the red apples is
around again.
Everybody who has been in and out of
the Capitol for the last four or five years
knows the red apple man. His black SLOUGH
hat. his long black coat, his patient. APP
pealing face. have all become familiar He
lives over in Virginia, and has a claim
against the government for some damage
to his property by the troops during the
war. Sessions of Congress have come and
gone, and the bill for his relief has trav-
eled through various stages, but never has
1t been passed.
Every once in a while the little man
comes over from his home across the river
to see how his claim is getting along. He
has no influence and no money-aothing but
small orchard of bright red apples. And
so. when he comes over, he fills his pockets
with the scarlet fruit and distributes it
among the members and the Senator's with
whom he has become acquainted in his
long and weary wait for justice. The Con-
gressmen take his apples and promise him
their votes. but somehow or other they
never get opportunity to redeem their
pledge. 1t is all apples and no votes.
There would be q touch Of huInor To thu
story II 1t wasn't 50 pathetic.
