We are more creatures of conditions"
But we govern conditions largely to-

We apply special remedies and get
special results.
Specialists are the only successful physi-

And special remedies are demanded.
There are doctors for the heart.
There are doctors for the lungs.

Next week will be fair week in Wheel
ing. and, weather permitting, it will be
successful week. The indications are
for very large attendance from the
territory from which the association
draws its patronage, and that the exhtbI-
tlon will be one of the best in the history
of the state fair
Wheeling business men are taking
more than the usual interest in Its sue
cess and they are doing this because past
experience has demonstrated to them
that the fair is more than private en-
terprise. 1t is one in which the interests
Of the entire community are involved
and which benefits the whole population.

The action OF the police in the matter
OF freight train blockading travel and
traffic on four cross streets for the space
of nineteen minutes was justified by the
circumstances. For that space of time
all travel between the lower and upper
halves of the city was entirely cut off,
and had fire alarm occurred in either
section 1t would have been impossible
for the portions of the department in the
other to respond for that length OF time.
1t often happens that unavoidable de-
lays occur on Sixteenth street, but in
such cases, where the delay runs over the
legal limit, the train should be split at
the crossing.

A Bryanite in Indiana, as an election
argument last year, contracted to sup
ply wheat In August OF this year for 70
cents a bushel in the event of McKin-
leys election, so confident was he that
the defeat of free silver would keep the
price OF wheat down. That Bryanite has
learned how foolish he was and the les
son has been a costly one to him. Mr..
Bryan should come to his rescue and
help make good the lows he has sustained
in accepting blindly the absurd theory
that something else besides the law OF
supply and demand regulated the prices
of wheat and silver. --

She demanded to be told what had be-

course at the public schools was fol-

and that by four years at Harvard
After he had been graduated at Cam

England to pursue his theological
studies. Returning to Upton in 1876,
the next year he went to Alaska as o

he had been shot by burglar But the
police couldn't nnd the burglar and gave
1t as their opinion that the citizen had
shot himself to gain notorlety. This Pc
cullar theory is often advanced by met
ropolltan detectives as an excuseo for
failure TO find n clue to an offender. The
detective must maintain his own reputa-
