A BLACK CATS vlsIr.

Fate of Woman Who Believed Tt
Brought Good I4EIcIx.
The black cat superstition certainly
has a strong hold. \ strange black cat
came to the residence OF u Troy fam
lily during the present year, ard it was
occasionally fed by the kind-hearted
woman of the house. The cat kept
coming, says the Troy Press, and in
sisted upon demonstrating itself, and
the woman laughingly remarked to her
friends that it was Il sign Of good luck.
But she had no children, and did not
want to be troubled with~a cat She
told her husband that lie must get
rid of it. They diaiiked to Kill the cat,
and finally decided to take it into the
country and drop it.
Late one afternoon they put the
cat in bag and drove about five miles,
when they united the bag and freed
the cat, after which they returned rap
idly. The woman died inside of half
an hour after reaching home. an ac-
cident Detailing her.
If it be good luck for black cat
to come to ones house, it surely must
signify poor luck to take or drive it
away. The woman was familiar with
the omen, 'as she had repeatedly re-
ferred to it, but probably never stopped
to consider that such sign would
imply evil consequences if the harbin-
ger of good was turned away, AT all
events, she took the black cat away,
and was killed almost Immediately
thereafter. While we take no stock
whatever in this popular superstition,
we know the facts to be as stated.

The Great Northern Railway COM
pany lately announced Il rate of 90 cents
per 100 pounds on soap slush from
Northern Pacific coast points to Chi
cago and Mississippi aud Missouri river
points, says the Seattle Times. Some
one has requested a rate on this cCm-
modify, but there does not appear to
be many people who know what soap
slush is. One ingenious gentleman said
that it was the product of certain small
lakes on the line of the road that are
filled with a thick silica water, which,
when ones hands are washed in it,
gives lather that would bring JOY to
the heart of any washerwoman or ton
serial artist. When the hair is washed
in this wonderful native product the
head swells with lather till it takes
the proportions of a snow mountain.

Who Judge Jack son Is.

Judge John Jay jackson, who has
leaped into sudden fame as the jur-
list who issued the injunction against
the striking coal miners, is one of
the oldest United States judges in
the country. He has been on the
district bench of West Virginia ever
since he was appointed by President
Lincoln in August, 1861. During
the SO years of his incumbency he
has had many decisions to make
that required courage bordering on
heroism, but Judge jackson never
flinched. He is a man of the stout
est opinions and never hesitates to
proclaim them. Heis the son of the
late General John j. jackson. He
was graduated from Princeton in
1845, studied law with his father
and took leading part in ante- bel
lum politics, when politics meant a
good bit more than it does now.
Young jackson was one of the best
speakers in West Virginia in the
campaigns of so, SO and go. He
took issue with his famous cousin,
"StonewalP' jackson, and with hum
dreds of his relatives, friends and
neighbors, and defended the Union
and its flag. In recognition Of his
services he vac elevated to the Uni
ted States BY President Lin

Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-fou
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
sn unhealthy condition of the kidneys.
When urine stains linen it is positive
evidence of kidney trouble. Too fire.
quent desire TO urinate or pain in the
back, is also convincing proof that
the kidneys and bladder are out of
order.
WHAT TO DO.
There Is comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed, that DIR. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfllls every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver and bladder
and every part of the urine passages.
1t corrects inability TO hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad eff
fects following use Of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity Of being compelled TO get up
many times during the night to urin-
ate. The mild and the extraordinary
effect OF Swamp Root is soon realized.

WEST VIRGINIA STATE FAIR.
Splendid Special Attractions for Amuse
ment TO Visitors.

The programme of special attrac-
tions for the seyenteeth annual State
Fair, which opens on the magnificent
grounds at Wheeling September 9Th,
is by far the best ever prepared by the
management. In addition to the
splendid racing programme, and the
long list of varied amusements and in
teresting sights inseparable from an
exhibition of this magnitude, the AS
ISOLATION has secured the matchless
Prof. Ed r. Hutchinson, King OF the
Clouds, Madame Ruby Deveau, and
the wonderful aerial dog wonder,
Daisy, for daily balloon ascensions
and parachute jumps. These are the
greatest aeronauts of the world, and
will give an exhibition the like of
which was never before seen in this
section of the country. Another great
attraction will be the three La Rosas,
Frank, Tina and Edward, in SPLEEN

As Roman ring experts they have CIV

Professor Raymond.
Charleston Gazette.


Jerome Hall Raymond, the new
president of the University of West
Virginia, began active life as news
boy in the city Of Chicago. Else
where we reproduce from the Chica
go Tribune an appreciative sketch
of the young educator, whom we
hope viii henceforth be West Vir-
ginian, and that his days will be
long and useful in the land.
Prof. Raymond's career bears evil
dence that he is man of parts and
ability. The self made man is not
always the ideal man; but when
without powerful friends, or favorit-
ism, at the age of 2S man manages
to impress himself upon some of the
best minds of the country it is al
most positive proof that he is com
posed of good material.
Prof. Raymond will be warmly
welcomed to West Virginia. Here he
will find men with minds of their
own, with traditions that they are
proud of, and with history as truly
characteristic of all that is best in
citizenship, as his own. We are sor-
ry that Prof. Raymond comes TO the
State at time when government by
injunction prevails in large portion
of its territory. We assure him, how
ever, that this condition is spasmod-
ic, unnatural, without warrant of the
organic law, and repulsive to 80 per
cent of the people. 1t will not last
long, and those responsible for it,
will never be honored by the citizens
of the State.
The new president of the Univer-
sity of West Virginia, will find West
Virginians ardent lovers of liberty,
supporters of law and order, and de-
tenders of the doctrines of jefferson.
Equal and exact justice to all men
and special privileges for none, is
the cornerstone of the constitution
of the State. He who violates that
priniple in theory or practice, be
he public servant or public educa-
tor, can never obtain and hold the
confidence and respec. of the people
of West Virginia.

Back from the Grave

We cannot come, but we can often
stay our progress thither. Disease,
like everything else, must have be-
ginning. All chronic maladles tend
TO shorten life, and render IL q species
OF martyrdom while they last. Ma
laria, kidney complaint, chronic In
rheumatism all have small
beginnings, and may be stayed at
the outset with Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. This excellent tonic and al
teratiye is adapted alike to the pre-
vention of disorders of the system and
to their removal, and us early use
cannot be too strongly advocated. To
renew appetite and insure tranquil
rest, there is no surer and pleasanter
means than the Bitters. The effects
OF overwork and exhaustion, mental
or physical, are counteracted by IL,
and the busy merchant, the tired
clerk or operative, and the brain
weary student, author or newspaper
man, derive from it pleasant relief
and future energy
