Whatever may be said about the
publications of Re-. Irl r. Hicks
by those who do not understand
the facts, there is no denying the
truth that his paper and Almanac
have come to stay. His splendid
journal, Word and Works, is now
entering its tenth year, largely in.
creased in circulation. and in every
way improved, until it deserves
the national reputation it has at
tanned. His 1897 Almanac is now
ready and is by tar tho finest apd
most beautiful he shas. yet, issued.
1t contains 108 pages, including
cover artisticalIy printed in colors,
and is filed from back to back with
jast what is wanted in every shop,
office, and home id America. One
feature Of the Almanac for 1897 is
h3serles IL original, beautifully en-
graved star maps, with explanatory
chapters, which could not be bought
for less than five dollars ia any
work on astronomy. AS Mr.. Hicks
has so correctly and faithfully
warned the public of coming
droughts, floods, cold waves, bIiz-
yards, tornadoes, and cyclones, in
the years passed, aside from the
other varied and splendid features
OF his paper and Almanac, these
considerations alone should prompt
every family to subscribe at once
for 1897. The Almanac is only 25
cts. a copy. Word and Works is
one dollar year, and copy of
the fine Almanac goes as a prem
ium with every yearly subscription.

exhaustion. It cures where other
means have been tried and found little.
"Tbera is less hesitation nowadays
among intelligent people in attending TO
the beginning of poor health. 1t IS well
known that disease is progressive ana
cumulative, easy to drive out at the
start but a menace to life when allowed
to entrench itself in any organ OF the
body. If people would consider mead
aches. rheumatism, neuralgia, sleepless-
ness. indigestion and languid feellngs
in their true light and as seriously rs
they deserve to be and make a stand
against them at once by means OF
Paine's celery compound. there would
be q wonderful diminution in the
amount OF kidney, liver and heart dis
ease"
Any one who reads the heartfelt, en-
phatic letters that have appeared here
from men and women who owe their
health and aften their lives to Paines
celery compound will be impressed by
the sincerity in every line.
This great modern scientific invig-
orator and health-maker is doing an
enormous amount Of lasting good these
spring DAYS. It's success in making
people well has had no parallel in the
history Of medicine. 1t has cured thou
sands of cases of rheumatism and neu-
ralgia. many of long standing that have
been despaired Of by friends and ply
sicians.
Compared with ether remedies, its
permanent cures stand out as a noun
tain does beside a mole hill. If all the
men and women who have entirely got
rit of nervous debility, threatened nerv-
Gus exhaustion, sleeplessness and such
organic troubles as kidney, liver and
stomach diseases by its help, during the
past year alone, could be brought to-
gether, what an army Of greatful people

WASHINGTON. D. c., April 9.-Con-
gresham Peter J. Otey has distinguish
ed himself by active and honorable SER
vice in the House Of Representatives,
where he was sent from the Sixth dis
trio. of Virginia. On the floor Of the
House and in the committee room he
is a conspicuous advocate OF measures
for the advancement Of good govern
ment. In what high honor Paine's
celery compound is held in the family
of this distinguished legislator appears
from the following letter:
Dear Sirs: For years / have been a
great sufferer from neuralgia, and dur
ing the past winter was advised TO try
your Paine's celery compound, and l
used two bottles of il with great benefit.
| was so much pleased with it that per-
suaded my brother, John Floyd, to use
it, He had been having a bad form OF
nervous dyspepsia and now. after using
the compound for two months, is so
much improved that we feel sure a
third bottle will complete his cure.
Every one has spoken Of the marked
change for the better in his appearance.
Respectfully,
MRS. MALLIE FLOYD CTEY.
This is one of some IS Of 20 letters
from United States Congressman or
members of their families, that have
recently appeared in the newspapers
here, heartily recommending Paine's
celery compound.
One of the most eminent physicians
in the city, being interviewed by one Of
the papers, says:
"Paine's celery compound marks
tremendous stride in the cure OF dis
ease.

driving out the underlying causes Of
nervous and organic troubles so surely

RARE TREAT GIVEN
Informally at the Mercantile Club Rooms
Last Evening.

Las. Evening.
An unusually attractive musical recep-
ton was given last evening in the Mercan-
tile Club rooms. Mrs. Serena Swabacker
as guest of honor. also became the ideal
entertainer" All who could be reached
during the afternoon, Of appreciative
musical Wheeling. were invited to hear
the young vocalist who is stopping with
relatives for few days before sailing for
Europe. where she goes to continue. with
Marie Marchessi, her already well begun
study of song.
Mrs. Swabackor was n Minneapolis girl,
but her marriage with n Chicago gentle
man Though really a Wheelngite) allows
Chicago to claim her, and according to
late Musical Courier" Chicago most
cordially does it. The programme was
opened with n Chopin nocturne, opus ..
played by Mrs. Nellie Warren-H Holloway.
Her piano work is well known. and her
hearers fully endorsed with applause her
reputation. Miss Isabel Housers beautiful
accompanying work was appreciated and
sincerely complmentod by the singer. and
it did make for the exquisite voices an
excellent background Seven or eight
songs were given. and It is not going too
far to say that no professional heard IN
Wheeling for many years pleased more.
A larger audience should have had the
privilege and of this privilege will musical
Wheeling avail itself, If on her return from
Europe she favors the city with visit.
As it appears at present. everything por-
tends q brilliant future on the concert
stage for this young aspirant. and her
career will be watched with interest in
Wheeling because Of home ties"
