Spring.
Editor J. c. Burchinal, of Mounds
Vile. was in the city yesterday on bus
mess. When seen by a Register re
porter, he stated that no work has been
done on that part of the Benwood and
Southern electric railway between the
power house and MOundsville since the
advent Of cold weather. The Marshall
county authorities forbid the work dur
ing winter, and the road was put in
shape for teams. AS soon as spring
opens, the lower portion of tho line
will be pushed to completion.
we are entirely satisfied with the
patronage thus far on the three miles
of track over which cars are running,
from the power house to Benwood. 80
he said We also intend to carr y
out the scheme for a summer resort at

The works of Charles Dickens are
said to grow more and more popular all
the while. More of his books were
sold last year than ever before and the
sales are increasing all the while. The
books are not sold in such great num-
bers because they are cheap, but the
probability is that the great demand
for the books have made them cheap.
1t is worth while to aspire to author
ship if, indeed, there is hope OF max
ing the impression on the world that
Dickens made. But it is given to only
a man here and there in century to
do that.

master the language which contains the key to

work Will please announce their intention to
the undersigned at early date. as the class
will be limited to a certain number. Charges
will be very reasonable.

who desire to advance their knowledge beyond n
common school education should take at least IL

A Pollshed Produeslon.


The initial article in the current num-
ber of the Sentinel published at Port
land, is by DIR. o. D. Doane of The
DaIles, who is president of the Oregon
State Medical Society. 1t is reprinted
from an address made before the society
by the doctor at the annual meeting
June 9th, 1896. The subject of the adj
dress is Medical Faith 1t is worthy
reproduction in any unprofession-
al magazine or newspaper, SO filled is it
with beautiful thoughts clothed in the
choicest diction. 1t is impossible to ex-
PLAIN fully the theme of the address
without publishing the whole. With
out trying to perform an impossibility,
therefore, we extract from it few strik-
ing paragraphs.
''Of the worlds workers no man needs
a greeter measure cf faith than the ply
sician. He labors in field where the
patha of Knowledge are often dimly
marked, and his feet but feeblv lighted
through the mists of vague conjecture.
1t is his constant mission to guard and
guide the issues of life, that mysterious
and whose secrets none have solved.
That which expresses life, the human
body, so fearfully and wonderfully made
in the image of the divine Creator, is
the object of his constant solIcitude and
care.
t'After centuries of investigation how
little do we really know of the human
body. With dissecting knife and mi
croscope we may indeed unfold the
structure of its component parte, and in
the light of chemical science and physi-
illogical research we may come into
close proximity with the initial forms of
life. We may trace even to their pro-
toplasmic cells the varied transforma-
tions which attest the vital force, but of
the life itself, that subtle and mysterious
essence which lies beneath and beyond
all these, and of which all that We can
trace is but the outward working and
expression, we are still. and perhaps
must ever be, profoundly ignorant"

Bryan's Borrowed Figures.
Philadelphia ledger.

Mr.. Bryan's friends assert that the
speech he Is now preparing for delivery
on accepting his nomination will be the
greatest effort of his life. Let us hope it
will be new effort, at any rate, for evil
dence is accumulating that the one
which gained him the nomination had
done duty at least once, and probably
two or three times before, and that its
most striking passage, the ''crown of
thorns' figure, was taken from a speech
delivered in congress in January, 1894,
by Representative Mccall, of Massachu-
sets, Mr.. Bryan being then and there
present. The boy orator must prepare
something fresh and original if he wishes
to retain his prestige for eloquence.
