Gladness Comes

With better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff.
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that SO many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value. good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it. acts. 1T is therefore
all important, in order TO get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
II in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. II
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended TO the most skillful
physicians, but IL in need of laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
ssed and gives most general satisfaction.

Proceedings in Detail.
Pursuant to the call issued by
DR.. A ii Williams in the County
Record, a convention of cotton
growers Was held in the court
house last Monday. The meeting
was well attended, the spacious
building being filled to overflow
ing-standing room being at a
premium. At the outset keen in.
terest was manifested, but after a
while this seemed to lag, or the
people wanted dinner, or some,
thing. for quite a number left the
house. In all, however, the
meeting was satisfactory, and
great good will probably be The
result.
About twelve o'clock DR.. Will
iiams called the assemblage 10 Or
der and requested Col. j + Dun
lop to open the meeting with
prayer, which was done. DR.
Williams lheh stated the object
Of The meeting, saying that it was
called Tor the purpose of organic
iag a county cotton growers con-
veniion. He then called for nom-
nations for temporary president
aud secretary. Mr.. j J n Graham
Jr.. Was chosen president and Mr..

lowed by DR.. Williams, Col. J E

lion, upon motion DR.. Williams
read The resolutions passed by the
convention held in Columbia in
November. Here Mr Wm. Coop
er was called 10 the chair, and Mr..

,hst as The audience had heard
him so many times on various sub,
| jeciS. he W uld be very brief,
leaving 10 Col. Armstrong the
greater part of the time. DIR. FL
wells address was an admirable
one. He touched upon the war
and the valiant deeds of .600,W0

FederalS. From seriousness he
turned to mirlh. and told several
puns at the expense of The gallan,

the conclusion of his address was
heartily cheered.
Col. Armstrong came next. He
began in humorous "ay. He
had often wondered why kingStree
had been so named, and, turning
to The ladies, said he now knew
il was because there are SO many
queens" here. His address was
iuter<persed with a vein of humor

was without doubt one of the very
best ever delivered here. To Col

It was only two months ago that the
announcement that Roentgen's cathode
discovery, commonly called the
"X-rays," would be on exhibition at
the Nashville exposition, created con-
siderable amount OF interest and 1t was
one of the big attractions at the Ten
nessee centennial. No doubt the
Wheeling public win be Interested in
learning that Wheeling now possesses
an "X-ray' outfit, which will be on
exhibition and In use at the West Vlr-
glnia state fair here next week.

at large expense by the Sands Electrical
Company, was put In position late yes

they are busy in trying to grasp what
they saw, and have lost all skeptlclsm

The Sands company win keep the

A SAD CASE.


DIR. Cushing Has n Second Violent Attack
and Creates Considerable Excitement.
Placed in Jail.
Considerable excitement was created
on Twelfth and Jacob streets yesterday
afternoon about o'clock, by the report
that a crazy man had taken possession
of his home and was numbering the
members OF his family. The police were
notified and Lieutenant Clemans and
Officer Holmes were soon upon the scene.
Investigation proved that the facts had
been exaggerated, but as It was the con-
dttions were serious. The man turned
out TO be Dr. G. b. Cushing. who lives
with his mother and sisters at 122.
Twelfth street, and when the police en-
tered his home they found him very vio-
lent.
1t appears that the doctor, who Is a VIC
tim Of the morphine habit, has been I'M
der the care OF physician for several
days, and the police have been warned to
keep a watch on his actions, fearing he
might infilct some injury either upon
himself or some member OF the house
hold. Yesterday afternoon at the hour
named the storm broke, and for about
half an hour the unfortunate man fought
imaginary foes in all directions. He
smashed the windows md ran everybody
out OF the house and when found was
paradlng about the yard half clad.
The officers took him in custody and
placed him in Jail. When captured he
was covered with blood, caused by a self
inflicted wound on his neck All kinds Of
reports were current, one that he had
killed his mother and sister, another that
he had jumped from the second story
window and was fatally injured. Inves-
tlgadon proved both to be Incorrect. His
mother and sister we're absent from the
house when the officers arrived there.
This Is the second attack Of this kind
the doctor has had and for time he was
confined In private asylum.
