NITRO GLyCER|NE LET'S GO.
Country for Fifteen Miles Quivered
Under the Shock.
A Town Was Shattered - Not
House in it But Received Some
Injllry-Two Men at a Distance
Were Thrown Into the Air.
Every thing Torn to Fragments
Where the Explosion Took Place.

Louisville, KY, November ga
special from Anderson, Ind, to the
Evening Post, says:
Chesterfield, Ind, was almost wiped
off the map at an early hour this morn
ing by the explosion of 80 quarts of
nitro lycerine, which had been brought
overland from Montpelier and placed
in an open field, a half mile from the
town. Marion Mansey and Sam Ma
guire were working at a gas well near
by when the explosion occurred. Man.
sey was thrown so feet, but was not
fatally injured. Mcguire was also
thrown 100 feet in the air, and badly
lacerated, but will recover. The explo-
sion tore hole in the ground down to
the water line, and so far as learned it
was spontaneous. A three-ton engine
was torn to fragments and every living
animal was killed instantly. The little
town of Chesterfield is a mass of ruins.
Every house was moved from it's foun-
dations, windows shattered, doors
smashed in, every light put out and the
plaster shaken from the walls. Sew
eral people were shaken out of bed.
At Dalesville, two miles away, and
at Yorktown, five miles distant, the
damage was almost as great. Many
people were injured, and it is miracle
that no one was killed outright
The jar of the explosion was felt for
fifteen miles in all directions. The gas
in the we'll was blown out and a work
man named Cooper lit it and caused an
other explosion, ii which he was fatally
burned. The damage cannot be esti-
mated.

HAS NOT PULLED OFF.

Hon. Camden SOmmers Still Working on
Forgery Charge Against Mrs. Atkinson.
Weston Democrat.
Camden Sommers, Of Clarksburg. the
principal witness fer the prosecution in
the recent trial of Mrs. Atkinson, is en-
route to the interior, where he expects
to obtain new evidence for the second
trial of the Governors wife, which will
shortly occur at a special term of the
Gilmer Circuit Court. He said: THE
statement that there will be no second
trial of the case is nonsense. as is also
the story that l intend to Immediately
sue Mr.. Atkinson for Islander on account
of the published statement signed by
him as Governor of West Virginia.
What l may 90 after the trial / will not
state. The total amount of paper which
will be put in evidence at the next trial
will, think, reach in the neighborhood
Of 100000, and if the defense can over
come it they are good people,"

His Attorney Has Appealed to Governor
Atkinson to Commute His sentence-In-
sanity Alleged
Special to the Register.
Ripley, w. Va, November 26.-John
Morgan, the condemned murderer of
Mrs. Chloe Green and her daughter and
son, who were horribly butchered near
here recently, is now feigning insanity,
and his attorney has appealed to the
Governor to commute the sentence Of
Morgan to life Imprisonment.
Drs. Camden and Guthrie examined
Morgan on Tuesday and made report
to the Governor. DR.. Camden says the
condemned man claims to know moth
ing Of the triple murder of which he
was convicted. The examination was
made privs iely and Morgan did not
know the visitors were physicians and
it is thought the physicians reported
him insane.
If Governor Atkinson coISmutes the
sentence, arrangements have been made
to remove Morgan before the matter is
made public.
Sheriff Shinn has been presented
with the cap and rope used at the exc
cution of Lewis and Voirs, the Fayette
county murderers, and they will be
used in the execution Of Morgan, if he
is hanged.

A we'll selected text is half of the ser-
mon. Given good text and preacher
who is in earnest, and the result is sure
10 be good. The text of this article is a
plain simple statement that proves itself
in the readers own mind without argu-
ment. The text is Good health is bet
ter than great riches"
Without health nothing really matters
very much. A hacking cough takes all
the beauty out of landscape or sunset
Erysipelas or eczema will spoil the enjoy
ment of sprightly conversation, of a beau
tiful concert, of wonderful painting.
The biggest bank account in the world
won't pay man for his health, but a
very small amount of money will make
him healthy and keep him healthy.
Most all bodily troubles start in the
digestive OF respiratory organs. 1t is
here that improper living first makes an
opening for disease. The development
differs as constitutions and temperarnents
differ. The causes are almost identical.
To get at the root of the matter is simple
enough if you start right.
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
is medicine for the whole body. It
works through the digestive organs on
all the others.
1t cures the first thing it comes to and
after that, the next. 1t puts health in
place of GseaSe in the stomach, and from
the va ground thus gained, it

THE OLD AND THE NEW.
How True Business Principles Away
 Win.

Win.
 There are some of us who can
 remember the days gone by when
 mother used to sit at the spinning wheel day in and day out, trudging away in order to keep her family in comfortable clothing. For us to look back upon those times, it is somewhat of . pleasure to see how earnestly and reticent every hour was passed in anticipation of her duty being we'll performed. How much different it is at the present time when We notice a we'll dressed man pass our door. The idea never comes into our mind that much labor and thought and enormous expense has been used in the pro duetion of every stitch of clothing he wears; and much lees are we liable 10 consider it we learn that the very suit that man wears would nowadays cost one-third the actual value fifty years ago. Brains have overcome manual labor, and today in every walk of life, we find i'm provements that demand recogni- tion.
 We interviewed Ed. Block, Pres cott's leading clothier, and in answer 10 a direct question. how 1t has come about that business of today IS In such shape that when two merchants start out. each assuming with eqIal ability, one will thrive aud siow to be the leading mer- chan, aud the other will exist and eyent ually submit to a total failure, be said: 'TheTe arc two fundamen- tai principles that 1 have striven to follow iu the course of my business eutelprise, aud 1 believe If you will lerfei cut the reason for the suc- ctss of others, you will find that it IS .ou4aed upon these all important 
 First, when you sell customer a SUI. know 1t IS right, then tell him Inc ruth.
 Second, advertise ouly in a truth ful, trustworthy way. When you advertise a 5000 suit, see that the | ,ui Is worth 5000 when your GUS toner comes Co buy.
 ''1 nese two principles make a foundation for a heaithy business. There is one firm I have in mind that orms their business by this way of thiuking-B. KuPpenheimer k Co, of Chicago. They are the manufacturers of the celebrated B. k. & Co. garments, and it is their 'tnet adherencs to these principles hat has induced cur firm to handle heir clothing and likewise made ,ur reputation"
 We do not wonder at the success ,f firm whose ideas of business ire so formed, and we take pleasure n mentioning business men such as 1d. Block, who will express their deas so freely.
