Is Life Worth Living?

If there is an Individual on earth who
is excusable for thus interrogating him
SELF it is the unhappy mortal who suf
fers from malaria in some one of its di-
abolical forms. This is no difficult con-
undrum, however. Life is worth liv-
ing by any man or woman who enjoys
good health, ard is not harrassed by a
reproachfol conscience. The malarial
scourge. heavily laid on, is a terrible
one for the poor sufferer to endure. A
series of freezings. screenings and
sweats--the last leaving one as limp and
as strengthless as dish rag, are hard
indeed, recurring as they do with
fiendish regularity. Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters is the worldwide known
preventive and curative of this class of
maladies, either in the form of ague and
fever, bilious remittent, dumb ague and
ague cake. Ueed with persistence they
will, rely upon it. eradicate disease
from the system. They also conquer
rheumatism, kidney and bladder com
plants. nervousness. dyspepsia, liver
complaint and constipation, and renew
failing strength.

Inwood Fair.

This was fair week aud Inwood has
been the attraction. The fair this
year is very much like that other
years, the exhibits being fine in quail
ty if not so great in quality. The
people go and enjoy themselves. In
that particular the fair is an educator.
But it does more, it displays the SUI
perior quality of farm products and
thus advertises the possibilities OF this
locality.
Not having time this week to enter
upon any extended report. we merely
state that Inwood Fair is not retro
grading; that the people like it and
that the management should make
greater efforts to secure exhibits and
thus draw more people together.

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one pur-
pose, namely, a receptacle for the
urine, and as such it is not liable to
any form of disease except by one of
two ways. The first way is from i'm
perfect action of the kidneys. The
second way is from careless local
treatment of other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy

Teachers Institute.

Our report of the Teachers Insti-
tute closed last week at noon Friday.
Below is the report of the afternoon;
Institute was opened by singing
America and the Star Spangled Ban
ner.
Points in the School Law were
taken up and discussed by Prof.
Foulk and others. The compulsory
school law came in for its full share
of notice.
Prof Albert Lee entertained the
Institute for a few minutes by sing
ing several songs in bis own mimi
table manner. He ended by giving
sermon on woman's rights which
drew forth storm of applause from
those who heard it.
The enrolment cards were then
distributed by the secretaries and
there being no further business to be
transacted, the Institute adjourned
sine die. S. j. w.
The committee on resolutions re-
ported and the report was unanimous
ly adopted. We give below the more
important features with the criticism
that the diction does not reflect
credit on the committee:
That we recommend that the legis-
lature of West Virginia, enact a law
forbidding a trustee to vote on an
application of member of his family
as teacher of school of which said
officer is trustee.
That we request the patrons to visit
the schools more frequently, believ-
ing that such visitations would be
beneficial to both pupils and teachers.
That the State of West Virginia
should provide free school books for
her schools as an attribute of the
compulsory school law.
That our schools and politics should
be widely separated and kept apart.
That we as teachers condemn the
policy of local politicians meddliug
with the schools, either in the selec-
tion of books or the appointment of
teachers.

The Philadelphia Times, referring to
the shotgun quarantine says; Mob
bling quarantine train in western
Louisiana is curious exhibition OF
ignorance. The sanitary service mas
never before been SO efficient during
season of yellow fever, but the quaran-
tine has been severe, and i'll some ~
spccts unnecessarily so, causing not only
inconvenience but privation. The health
authorities can be entirely trusted to
maintain every proper prccaution, hut
the absolute suspension of railway com
munication is absurd. Yet this Is the
brutal idea of quarantine that prevails IN
some of the back country districts, ana
even the government physicians are ham
pered in their work by rustic stupidity
1t is quite safe 10 believe that the com
munities that mob medical trains are
those in which there is the least atten-
ton to ordinary sanitary precautions

Nothing New to Communicate.

Washington, Oct. St can be stated
positively that Minister Woodford has
received no additional instructions from
Secretary Sherman or any other GOV
crnmcnt officer since he sailed for
Europe. His call was either one of
courtesy to introduce himself formally to
the new Spanish administration or to
lay before it some matters not fully out
lined in his talk with the Duke Of
Tctuan. He bore no letter from Secre-
tary Sherman and it can be stated au-
The relatively that it is the policy of the
administration TO let the new Spanish
cabinet become settled in office and not
to press it to act hastily.

Wisdom at Tuskahoma. |. r., wired the
Indian bureau today that the presence
of troops had avertcd the trouble at the
meeting of the ChOctaw council yester-
day and that he thought the danger was
now over. He reported that the lower
house of the council failed to effect Il
permanent organization and that the
senate, composed of hOd-ovcrs. organized
promptly. He says the council will be
about equally divided on the question of
ratification of the Dawes agreement.
He added that the excitement there was
considerably allayed owing to the prompt
action of the interior department and
by the presence of the troops sent by the
war department TO avert the threatened
trOub.

The Nashville Banner, speaking OF mu-
nicipal candidates, says with much force;
"The advisory board of the Good Gov
ernment' party has placed municipal
ticket in the field. The nomination by
an advisory board should mean no more
to the Independent voter than the nom
ination by primary. Voters in the city
election should not vote for any party
or other label, but for the men only
whom they believe to be the most worthy
and most capable. Each candidate for
any office, whether he be nominated by
primary, put out by a board or indie
pendently announced should be considered
personally and not hy any label he may
have on him. The character. standing,
qualifications and capabilities of candi-
dates should be discussed and compared
with view of determining II choice of
the best material for service in city of
fees"
