JUDGE FOR YOURSELF.
Which Is Better--Try an Experiment
or Profit by Marietta Citizens
Experience?

something new is an experiment.
Must be proven to be as represented.
BE successful at home or you doubt it.
The statement of manufacturer is
not convincing proof of merit.
But the endorsement of friends is.
Now, surprising you had bad back, a
lame, weak or aching one; would you
experiment on it? You will read of
many so-called cures, but they come
from far away places. It's different
when the endorsement comes from
home. Easy to prove that it is SO.
Home endorsement is the proof that
backs every box of Doan's Kidney
Pills. Read this case:

A Rattlesnake Loose in Passenger Car

A Rattlesnake Loose in Passenger Car
A live rattlesnake, of the largest
and most vicious kind, that party
who had been on camping tour to
the mountains of West Virginia were
bringing home, escaped from its box
in a passenger car on the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad near Hyndman, and
for short time created the greatest
excitement among the passengers.
Some fed from the car, others climb
ed upon the seats and the greatest up
roar prevailed. The dangerous reptile,
in the meantime, darted about under
the seats and along the aisle, while
the passengers made vicious lunges at
it with umbrellas and walking sticks,
which the reptile resented by striking
savagely right and left and rattling
with all its might
The reptile was captured by color
ed cook for the club, who, it appears,
is not afraid Of the ,venomous creatures
in the least, and who appears to have
some strange power over them. AZ
soon as the snake was safely boxed
the passengers came down from theiI
perches, but could not be induced to
remain il the car.-TExchange.

WEEKLY REVIEW.
Events of Interest in the Southwest During
the Past Seven Days.

the Past Seven Days. s.
Pittsburg, Sept. 2O.-The operations
in the southwest fields during the past
week were not enivened with any new
discoveries of a startling nature In
quiries were therefore directed to those
of the previous week and the progress
made was carefully noted.
The Scragg & Co. we'll on the May
field farm, near Conway. was the sub
ject most carefully watched and gener-
lily discussed. After carefully coliec-
ting all the facts pertaining to this
strike, it cannot be said that there is
any occasion for alarm, as it is not at
all likely, from the passing opinion on
the Mayfield well, that new flow of
oil will come, from that quarter. The
Mayfelds well has. been drilled deep
enough the past week to demonstrate
to the satisfaction of those interested
that it has been seen at its best
and summing up all points in its
favor it cannot be classed as bet
ter than so or IS bbl. producer. 1t
has even been limited that the well did
not get its production in the Big Injun
formation, but from the Keener sand.
In the absence of correct record of
the measurements Of the we'll, the color
of the fluid is offered to back up the
Keener theory.
Despite the fact that the supposed
new pool is not arousing any great
amount of enthusiasm or is the incen-
tive for starting new work in that 10.
cality, the same condition of affairs do
not prevail throughout other sections
of the Mountain State. After period
of dullness that extends oyer the mid
summer months, activity has been re-
newed and new work is starting in
many localities, giving promise of
swelling the field work to consider
able extent. The most work for the
Hebron, near the Tyler and Peasants
county line. 1t is estimated that Is or
20 new wells will be drilling before the
middle of the coming month, If all the
locations made should be drilled, it is
more than likely the number of wells
mentioned will be doubled
The South Penn Oil Co. is reported to
have driven a good many stakes during
the past week and Wetzel county will
receive particular attention. 1t is safe
to predict that the Gordon sand terri
tory will not come in for any share of
the new work.
Southwest of the Millstract. near the
Gordon sand we'll, on the Riley farm,
the South Penn Oil Co. got a fair pro.
ducer on the Fluharty farm
On the big Hardman tract, in Dodd-
ridge county, Murphy, Jennings & Co.
added another good we'll to their list
on that property. 1t was their No. 26,
and was credited with 325 bbls. the
first "a hrs, after it was drilled in.
Across in Monroe county, near Ben
wood, the Price farm we'll continues to
hold up close to the 2OO-bbl mark and
is one of the best wells in the lower
southwest. In addition to the six OF
more wells now drilling, other locations
have been made and that part of the
field will be fairly active for some
months. No effort has been made tc
line up the new pool with any previous
: development. 1t is the prevailing opin
ion that it is distinct pool, the dimen
sions of which can only be determined
by the drill.

 dominion-battles, bloodless, groanless, painless-angels of evil to be fought down and fought out, other rebellious worlds to be conquered, worlds to be put to the torch, worlds to be saved, worlds to be sunk, worlds to be hoist ed. Besides that, in our own world there are battles for the right and against the wrong where we must have the heaven ly military. That is what keeps us Christian reformers so buoyant. So few good men against so many bad men; so few churches against So many grog- shops; so many pure printing presses against so many polluted printing press es, and yet we are buoyant and ooura- geous, because, while we know that the armies of evil In the world are larger in numbers than the army of truth, there are celestial cohorts in the air fighting on our side.
 I have not SO much faith in the army on the ground as have in the army in the air. O God, open our eyes that we may see them-the military spirits that went up from earth to join the military spirits before the throne-Josh-
  and Samson and the hundreds of Chris tian warriors who on earth fought with fleshly arm, and now, having gone up on high, are coming down the hills of heaven ready to fight among the invisi- bles. Our departed Christian friends who had the military spirit in them sanotiied are in the celestial army. Whether belonging to the artillery, or the cavalry, or the infantry, know not. only know that they have started out for fleet service and courageous service and everlasting service. Perhaps they may come this way to fight on our side and drive sin and meanness and satan from all our hearts. Yonder they are coming, coming. Did you hear them as they swept by?

the. spring mornings are wovenf Are you so obtuse as to suppose, because tho painter drops his easel and the sculptor his ohisel and the engraver his knife, that therefore that taste which he was enlarging and intensity ing for 40 or 30 years Is entirely oblit- eratedf These artists or these friends of art on earth worked in coarse mate rial and with imperfect brain and with frail hand. Now they have carried their art into larger liberties and into wider oiroupferenoe. They are at their old business yet, but without the fatigues, without the limitations, without the hindrances of the terrestrial studio. Raphael could improve upon his mas- terpiece of Michael the Archangel," improve upon his masterpiece of the "Holy Trinity" now that be has visit ed them. Michael Angelo could better present the Hast Judgment" after he had seen Its flash and heard the rum bling battering rams of its thunder.

 Exquisite oolors here, graceful lines here, powerful chiaroscuro here, but 1 am persuaded that the grander studies and the bright galleries are higher up, by the winding marble stairs of the sep uloher, and that Turner and Holman Hunt and Rembrandt and Titan and Paul Veronese, if they exercised saving faith in the Christ whom they portrayed upon the canvas, are painting yet, but their strength of faculty multiplied ten thousandfold. Their hand has forgotten it's cunning, but the spirit has faculties as far superior to four fingers and a thumb as the supernatural is superior to the human.

Visiting the Battle Field Where He
Was Manned for Life.

DR.. w. M. Grier, Of Due West, presi-
dent of the Erskide College, was at the
reunion in Richmond, but paid a visit
to the ancient town Of williamsburg,
whore he losta leg in the battle fought
there on the 9Th Of May, 1862. He
writes as follows in the last issue of
the Associate Reformed P~resbyterian:
Not Richmond but williamsburg was
the object OF our visit. AS ia we'll
known, this is the old capital of Vir-
ginia and abounds In historic associa-
lions. lie is not a progressive town.
There Ia nothing OF factories or water
works or electric lights, or even horse
cars. We were glad OF it. More than
t~hirty-four years had passed since we
saw 1t, and yet, without the slightest
difficulty, we recognized the places
with which we were once familiar.
The old church In which we lay for
there weeks. the private house where
we were so carefully nursed for another
three weeks, these we're unchanged.
They looked just as they did thirty
four years ago. Aud so the battle
ground. The line of battle where the
Confederat were engaged, Fort
Magruder, the redOuots to it's right
and left, these were all clear and dis
tinct. AS we looked over the ground
on that quiet evening last week, we
dreamed. Thirty-four years dropped
out OF the past we we're a soldier
youth again, over our heads the shells
were bursting, about our ears the bul, I
