The advance in medical science is
greater than ia any other branch. The
discovery of the X rays and the finding
OF malaria in the blood by analysis are
the most recent discoveries. but not the
greatest by any means. The discovery
of a remedy or medicine that will in
SANITY bring relief 10 almost any form
of disease we think Il beyond concep-
rion. A remedy that does not require
hours and hours OF patience and pain
before relief comes has been discovered.
POOH you say. Would you have be-
lieved few years ago that the telephone
is such great invention as it is just
so it is with the great discovery of Light
ming Hot Drops. a remedy that stands
today without al equal, without a par
aliei for the cure of all stomach and
bowel troubles. caused by over. eating,
indigestion, dyspepsia. Relief comes
SO quickly you will be astonished and
the fact that il leaves no bad results is
the beauty of it. The action of Light
ming Hot Drops il marvellous, yet harm
less, and you will be surprised to know
how many different kinds of ailments
you will find IL good for, and II you
once use it you will have no occasion 70
keep cupboard full of different kinds
of bottles, for Lightning Hot Drops will
do the work Of plasters, pills, ointments,
tonics. etc. and save you lots of money
for it costs only csc, and the SOC size

and it is sold with the positive under
standing that IL 1t gives no relief your

Governor MacCorkle has received
from Cuban revolutionist weapon
that is playing a prominent part just
now in the Spanish butcheries in
Cuba. 1t is Cuban machete. The
blade is about two feet long, thin and

pieces of horn riveted on either side

A hobo who claims to be on his way
to the Sistelsville oil field, stopped at
the Lewis residence on Western ave-
niue this morning for a hand out. =
Mrs Lewis introduced him to about
five corn shocks, which she requested
husked before breakfast. The hobo
raised kick, the dogs were let loose
and free for-all fight began. The
tramp made his escape down the rail-
road, but was followed and captured
by Will Lewis, who held him until
an officer made his appearance and
brought the Sweet Willie before the
mayor, who fined him one dollar and
costs. -Moundsville Echo.
Last Wednesday evening about 4
o'clock the people ofMoundsville were
shocked by terrific explosion which
occurred along the river bank. For a
time all was confusion, and some OF
the people thought that it was an
earthquake, but in few minutes it
was found that it was nitro glycerine
explosion. The explosion broke glass
in several of the buildings in the
vicinity; and was felt severely in all
parts of the city. A man named Louis
Conn, from New Cumberland had been
in the city for about day and halt
and had shot we'll in the oil field
back of the town. He had some OF
the fluid left over and was taking it
down to the river to take it across on
the ferry when it is supposed he
slipped and fell and the stuff went off.
Conn, the man who had charge of the
nitro glycerine was literally torn into
fragments and portions of his body
were picked up many yards from
where the accident happened. The
largest piece of his body found would
not weigh more than pound and a
half

closed, and VIM. Mckinley, the son of
Protection and Sound Government,
has been elected President of the
greatest Liberty-loving Republic. on
the face of the globe. Our old Uncle
Sam rejoices that his country is saved

Our once glorious and prosperous
American Republic has been bled by
misrule in high places, until, as a
