the conservatives are called upon to
meet. How are they going to meet it?'s
This Is no new thing. 1t Is not even
a new discovery. For twenty or forty
years a highly educated class Of theolo-
gians have been making assaults upon
the verfties OF the Bible, upon the New
Testament record, upon the first six
books OF the Old Testament, upon the
very fundamentals of Christian truth
and orthodoxy. Professors in colleges
men set to protect and defend the
have turned faithless and false and
conspired to destroy Did beliefs and
venerated truths and set up scientific
unbeIief and unevangelica1 dogmatics
and plausible sophism all buttressed by
a show of learning aid backed with a
display of confidence and boastfulness
quite marvellous. Not one Of these sci
entific and linguistic critics has failed
to be met, and it is not often if ever
that they have not been ~vanquished.
If the old beliefs can be destroyed then
the Bible is wrecked and man is left

The Big Show That's Coming.

Advance reports of the performance
offered by the Great Wallace Shows
are of the most catering nature so
that all intending patrons may feel
secure in anticipating a rare treat
when the big exhibition pitches its
tents in this city The press notices
declare that from the opening of the
gorgeous grand entry to the last one
of the exciting hippodrome races there
is not single moment of the two
hours and a half in which interest is
permitted to flag for an instance.
Prominent among the numerous feat
ures are the world famous Nelson
family, whose wonderful acrobatic
revolutions are of nature indescrib
able in cold type. Another very pop
ular feature with the Wallace Shows
is the spectacular ballet of nations
danced by 20 charming maidens,
pretty of face and blessed with grace
full forms, headed by Mile. Maccarri,
the famous Italian premier danseuse.
1t is distinctly new departure to in
troduce ballet, complete in every de-
tail, in a circus performance, but this
is what is done in the Wallace Shows.
1t forms a most pleasing diversion
and wins deserved encores at every
performance. The list OF artists is
too long to enumerate in detail but
the principal ones who can be men
toned in this limited space are the
Martell's in phenomenal bicycle and
skating novelties; the Werntz family,
thrilling mid feats on the trapeze;
the Petits in laughable comedy by
bar act; GAIA the magnetic girl,

sisters, female Samsons in feats of
strength; Martineti sisters, contortion
wire walkers; Girard Leon and his
famous singing mule, "Trilby;"

together with long list of meuage
riders, revolving globe walkers, tum-
blers, trained animals, funny clowns
and all the other concomitants that
go to make up the modern monster
circus. The glittering white and gold

not be forgotten, leaving the show

A Perfect Plant.

We had the pleasure recently of
looking through the electric light
establishment and are happy to state
that we were not only delighted but
surprised to note the great improve
ments that had been made Engines
and dynamos are of the very latest
approved pattern and run like clock
work. The arc dynamo is especially
fine and is capable of supplying cleo
tricity to twice the number of arc
lights now in use. The incandescent
dynamos are sufficient to supply every
family in the city with lights that
are as near perfect as it is possible to
make them.
Skilled men are employed in every
and everything is in its
place and scrupulously clean, an alb
solute essential in the manufacture Of
electricity. The company has not
hesitatad at expense in fitting up the
plant and should have that which is
merited-a liberal patronage.

Cannery and Ice Plant.

The big Rothwell & Lovett cannery
is rapidly getting ready for the Sum.
met's work. A large force Of men
are making cans by the thousand, of
which there are great stacks now
ready for use. More machinery is
being put in place and every piece
not in use is being overhauled and
made ready for the campaign which
will be waged against corn and toma-
toes.
Indications now are that the toma-
toes will be very fine. Contracts
were made for about 400 acres and
Mr.. Rothwell is of opinion that grow.
ers have that number out. The
yield is estimated at 10 tons or 333
bushels per acre, which would give
500, 600 cases or 100 carloads. which
is not bad for the second year.
The good reputation achieved last
year will be maintained and as the
output will be much greater, the
fame of the packers and Of the Shen-
andoah Valley will be largely extend
ed.
The ice plant is in active operation
producing ice clear as crystal and
pure as the dew Of heaven. In adj
dition to supplying our own people
ice is shipped to all of the surrounding
towns and as far east as Washington.
1t is Mr.. Lovett's intention to place
a lot of watermelons and other sum-
mer delicacies in cold storage, can
some spring chickens, and then when
Christmas comes there will be feast
of good things such as Martinsburg
never knew before Who the guests
will be we do not know, but it is a
safe bet that it will be jolly crowd
that will partake of that dinner.

Something to Know.

1t may be worth something to know
that the very bsst medicine for restor-
ing the tired out nervous system to a
healthy vigor is Electric Bitters. This
medicine is purely vegetable, acts by
giving tone to the nerve centres in the
stomach, gently stimulates the Liver
and Kidneys, and aids these organs in
throwing off impurities in the blood.
Electric BItters improve the appetite,
aids digestion, and is pronounced. by
those who have tried it as the very best
blood purifier and nerve tonic. Try It.

FIGURING MILL AND ELEVATOR
Mr.. ). w. Bishop Ready for Business.
Best in the State.

Best in the state.
Last winter when Mr.. J w. Bishop
purchased the large brick building at
Exchange Place, Of Messrs. Swope &
Frazer, he found his way clear to &C
complish an object which he had cher
ished for some time-establish flour
ing mill in this city. The building
was most admirably fitted for his pur-
pose both in style and strength of
structure and location, being just
across the street from the B. & o.
freight depot.
The only change necessary was to
excavate a portion Of the basement to
greater depth and place some addi-
ditional supports under the floor. The
plant as it stands today, ready for OPP
Grafton Monday, is possibly the most
complete in the State All OF the
machinery is Of the latest improved
pattern and mis- elevator is strong and
unique to say the least.
From his office he can pass out
through his wareroom to the boiler
room where he has an so horsepow-
er, double-return tubular boiler, Hart
ford make, which supplies steam for
heating and power to a handsome
Corliss engine, near which is located
a lime extractor and purifier of water
for the boiler. The elevator is built Of
oak, requiring $4,000 feet of lumber.
Walls and bins, of which there are six,
are made of 2x6 stuff laid fiat and
bound together with ~ tons Of six
inch wire nails. Sides, roof and cor
nice are covered with slate, and doors
are sheathed with tin, making a fire
and water proof structure. 1t stands
S. feet high, while the cupalo is 10
feet higher
The drive wheel, whence power is
transmitted to the shafting, is IL feet
diameter, with 10 inch face, and
weighs S, 200 pounds.
Between the elevator and mill is
wareroom also covered with slate.
The mill is fitted with double stands
of rolls, each roll of solid steel weigh
ing $40 pounds and the stands tip the
beam at a, 200 pounds. Wheat is re-
ceived at the south side, whence it
carried to the second floor where it is
secured and cleaned, the dust going
into dustroom, and the wheat either
to the elevator or to the rolls, after
being weighed.
1t is scarcely necessary to state the
process OF separating the flour, bran
and middlings as the method is well
known. Gyrators and scalpers are of
a new design and are constructed to
do the very best work possible. The
flour bins hold 100 barrels obviating
the necessity of packing at night
1t is Mr.. Bishops intention to man
ufacture three brands of high grade
four-Gold Dust, Cream ofWheat and
Pride of Berkeley. He has not yet
decided upon name for the lower
grade. The capacity of the mill is
$50 barrels a day and it is his inten-
ton to run night and day.
Congratulations are due Mr. Bishop
from the city for. his enterprise and
the city is most happy to have within
her border so enterprising gentle
man.

The teachers last week demanded
that the schools and politics be kept
widely separated, and condemned "the
policy of local politicians meddling
with the schools, either in the Sc
lection of books or the appointment of
teachers" We feel pity for the
dear, inofensive partisans on the
committee and suggest that it some
times happens that foreign politicians
are just as obnoxious as the local va
riety. It is all very fine for such a
committee to condemn, but there is
not one of the crowd, if called upon,
who could cast the first stone.

The Statesman has a knack oil
sneaking out of every position when
cornered. 1t is a well-eStablished, his
torical fact that the Mckinley bill
gave us free sugar. Prior to that
sugar was to 2 cents a pound. 1t
dropped to cents after the enactment
of the Mckinley law. The Wilson
bill put a tariff Of cent and quarter
on it, and, for the purpose of raising
revenue, the Dingley bill adds anoth-
er half cent. The tariff on sugar is a
purely revenue measure and is there
fore a tax. There is such a thing as
a protective tariff which is not tax
and there is also a revenue tariff which
is tax. Take, for example, the tar
if on steel rails. 1t is a protective
tariff, but steel rails are cheaper here
than anywhere else, therefore in that
case the tariff is not a tax Tin plate,
which the Statesman claimed for years
could not be manufactured here, is
another example. 1t is made in this
country, of better quality than we got
abroad, and is cheaper than ever De-
fore. There are thousands of instances
that might be cited, to prove that the
tariff is tax and equally as many to
prove that it is not tax AS stated
above, the tariff axiom is that a tariff
for revenue is a tax, while protec-
tive tariff is not a tax. OF course there
may be exceptions.
