severest cases have been cured in ten
minutes. Other aches and pains can be
cured as quickly. Mr. Louis Samuels, of
Scott street, Youngstown, Ohio, states:

BRAINS. BROTHER, BRAINS.

We do not like to do it, but one Of
our highly esteemed contemporaries,
the Berkeley Democrat, may compel
us to take him by the nape Of the neck
and give him a shaking up. For
several weeks past he has been nag
ging the Herald and the thing has
gone about far enough. He says we
suggested the character of delegates
to be chosen and it was done. .
What is wrong about that? Are they
not all frst-class men: Again. The
manner of selecting representatives
to the National Convention received
his attention and his will shall pre-
vail. " All of which shows that there
is brains in and about the Herald
ofice-a most decidedly useful COM
modify, something badly needed in
other print shops about here. Com
ing down to facts. our friend compli-
ments us highly. A short time since
he had the editor ofthe Herald almost
appointed Librarian of Congress.
That was out of sight. Think of be-
ing the presiding genius in that mag
nifcent marble palace with a gold
dome-the finest library building in
the world! But he failed to suggest
a plan for disposing of our friend
Spoford, and as the Democracy has
resortcd every scheme known to mer-
cenary and designing politicians to
blacken Mr.. Spofford' S character and
failed, we fear his suggestions is loves
labor lost.

THE MAN WE WANT.

Mr.. John B. Wilson having decided
that he will not be a candidate for re-
election, it becomes the duty of Re-
publicans to look over the field and
select man as his successor. With
out attempting to dictate and at the
risk o. exciting the jealousy of our
three Democratic contemporaries
down street, we do insist that the very
best man obtainable be selected. This
is especially important in view Of the
rapid strides the town is making in a
business way. He should be a broad
man, man of intelligence and dis
erection, man who has the tact and
ability to stand as the representative
of live and progressive people.
There are many men of that character
among the Republicans of the city(and
it might as we'll be understood one
time as another that the next mayor
will be Republican, who, if solicited,
Rill accept the nomination. 1t is no
small honor to be the chef executive
of city like Martinsdurg and during
the next two years his duties will be
more than that of police judge.
Many questions of vital Importance to
the city will arise and be decided and
if we have the right kind of mayor
backed up by good men in the council
the advancement of the past two years
will be more than duplicated.
Mr. L. NJ. LaFollette. of Grafton, is
candidate for Auditor and his name will
be presented to the Parkersburg con-
vention with more than fair chance of
winning the prize. Mr.. LaFollette is
a comparatively young man, being in
his 35th year, has served two terms
as prosecuting attorney of Taylor
County, and is at present secretary of
the Second District Republican Con-
gressional Committee. His brilliant
work during the Dayton campaign of
"a ELECTED praise from the party lead
ers Throughout the State and marked
him as a man of sound mind and re-
political sagacity. If nominated he
will honor the position.

eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incura-

pronounced it a local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat

THE GOLDEN RULE

We are often asked who will be the
candidates for municipal officers this
Spring. 1t is question we cannot
answer, but we do feel like asking
for new deal. Though the Repub-
lican party is in absolute control in
the city, the Herald has not done a
cents worth of work or advertising for
the city since the last election.
There may be persons who expect
the Herald to support those who do
not support it, but the fair presump-
ton is that they will not realize on
their expectations. We are most
heartily tired of placing men in pub
lie positions and not receiving even
their thanks. Hereafter we shall ex-
pect a qaid PRO quo, and if we do not
get it shall do unto others as we
would they should do unto us.

nominally in control have decided to
send an expedition into the Soudan

SKIPPED OIT

Anent the Boosting of the Spanish
a very ludicrous incident occurred
last week.
The big battleship Massachusetts
went out from Philadelphia for her
builders trial trip. AT that time a
Spanish gunboat was cruising in that
same locality looking for flibusters.
The Spaniard was decked out in gav
attire with flags flying and spirits
away UP in g. Some pleasure boats
had gone out to look for the Spaniard
and incidentally note the performance
OF the new king Of the ocean and they
report that when the Massachusetts
hove in sight going at a 16-knot gait
the Spaniard pulled down her flag and
took to her heels in a hurry. The
Massachusetts had not gun on board

PROMISING PROSPECTS.

The future of Martinsburg is decid-
e1ly rosy. Beautiful of location, it
is at last arousing from the lethargy
which has for so many years held it
in bondage and is forging to the front
as the most progressive city in the
State.
There is no reason why this should
not be. Her citizens are men of in
tegrity and business tact. Her loca-
ton is all that could be desired and
shipping facilities are good as the
best. The climate is the finest in the
world. Water gushing from crystal
springs, is abundant and pure. Soil
surrounding is the most fertile in the
world.
Strangers are received with open
arms and made to feel at home
There is not the distrust to be found
IN the North. the jealousy of the
South, or the wildcat schemes of the
West. Here all meet on a common
level and here by industry we thrive.
Our banks are as solid as the ever
lasting limestone on which the city
stands. Our business men are as
honest as the day is long. Our ho-
tells are as fine and as we'll conducted
as any in the world. Those who
stop with US are fed of the fat of the
land. Our fruit and wheat and corn
and grass and horses and cattle are
unexcelled.
That the above is no fancy sketch
!s-Ffoven By the fact that Il at during this
entire winter building operations have
been pushed to the utmost limit.
Look where one may and he can see
houses in course OF construction. Go
into our hosiery llsand see 600 men,
and women manufacturing millions
of pairs of hose each year of a quality
ut for kings to wear. Go into the
wooden mills and hear the clatter of
looms until you are glad to escape
the noise. Go down to the B. & o.
shops and see the skilled mechanics
overhauling locomotives and cars.
Go out along the C. V. and see the fine
brick buildings being erected for the
big Brooklyn Brass Works where
soon hundred or more skilled oper-
ators will be busy making fine onyx
tables and cabinets, chandeliers and
lamps for the parlors of the rich.
Then take peep at the field soon
to be covered with solid brick struc-
lures for, the Auburn Wagon Com
pany which will turn out at least s.
600 wagons year, than which there
are none better.
Go across the B. & o. where 200
town lots were sold last week for
which the neat sum of S2s, 200 was
realized, and while there get an idea
OF the big cannery which will be in
operation by the 4th of July when we
intend to jollify and make merry.
II weary, drive out over fine macad-
amized roads and look at our splendid
farm houses and big barns, and get
acquainted with our wide.aw and
sturdy farmers and notice the evi-
dences OF thrift aud contentment on ev-
cry hand. Return and drop into our
schools and on Sunday worship the
Giver OF all these good gifts at the
church of your choice.
