A BACK BLOW.
The Weapon smali-But None Nor,
Certain or Effective.

In these times when backs are lame,
when almost every other one We meet
has now and then, or all the time, a
back that aches or pains-"A weak
back" "a bad back" a back that makes
their life misery TO Dear-and still
they go on day by day In suffering and
pain. Now It's the easiest thing In
the world to give this played out back
blow that will settle It, and put IN
its place a new one equal to any. It's
just like this: Hit at the cause; most
backaches come from kidney disorder
Reach the kidneys. start their clogged
up ibres In operation; when this IL
done you can say good bye to back
ache.
Here Is case from Battle Creek
Michigan: Mr.. Josiah M. Shoup lives
at 81 Broad Street, he was a member
OF the Battle Creek police force FOR
many years. As member OF the
force he served the city well, but the
rough weather he was often subjected
to laid the foundation of kidney
trouble, which has troubled him very
much. Here Is what he says about II:
About three years ago, while on the
police force, contracted from expos
ure kidney trouble, which has since
given me no end Of trouble. The pain
was right through my kidneys and
across the small OF my back; IL sitting
down and l wanted to stand up / had
to rise very slowly, and gently to avoid
increasing the pain. I had such tired
out feelings all the time, and l was
steadily getting worse. About two
months ago, hearing OF Doan's Back

A HEALTH CLUB
Such an Organization in

Volunteer Soldiers W no Have Been
Careful - Command That ttas
Made a Good Reputation

The First Washington Volunteers,
the second battalion OF which arrived
in this port on the L. ;. I. 5. Valen-
ella, had, while in camp at San Fran
cisco, the reputation OF being the
model regiment OF the Department OF
California.
During their stay in San Francisco
not a member OF the entire regiment
was subjected TO court martial
Passes were freely issued to the boys
and they were allowed to visit the city
In large numbers. The authorities ex-
perienced no trouble with the First
Washington and the police court rec
ords in San Francisco do not contain
the name OF a member of the regiment
The regiment is not composed OF
what are commonly known as "goodie
goodie boys" by any means, but the
boys Of the First Washington believe
that the one great requisite Of a sol
der is the bearing OF a gentleman.
The San Francisco people were 81
favorably impressed with the Regi
ment that they petiioned the Presiden
to have IL stationed in that city fol
coast defense duty during the war
This would probably have been done
II 1t hid not been for the very strong
sentiment among the boys to go to IN,
Philippines, where they believe Their,
will be an opportunity to see active
service.
A short time before leaving Sar
Francisco there was organized among
the members of the second battalion {

watchfulness there have occurred bu
two deaths since the regiment wa

Dream OF pirst owner


The transfer Of the ownership aud
control OF the Hawaiian Commercial
and sugar compsny's plantation. bet
ter SHOWN as the spreckels' Plantation
on East Maui, is one OF the most note
worthy and largest deals In sugar plan
tation property that has ever taken
place In Hawaii or perhaps elsewhere.
This plantation was started by Col.
sprecAels twenty years ago, on scale
far more ambitious than any previous
venture Of the kind In these Islands.
The extent Of land covered by the
deeds and leases. exceeds 10000 acres,
$4,000 OF which are capable Of produc-
ing FIVE tons Of sugar to the acre. pro-
yided water can be obtained for irri-
cation, as the land consists OF rich
alluvial and volcanic soil, such as is
now being planted by the Oahu Sugar
Company on this Island. Colonel
Spreckels once told the editor of this
periodical that he hoped some day to
see crop of 10000 tons of sugar taken
of from It, and his early dream is still
among the possibilities OF the near fut-
ure, to be accomplished by other par
ties.
For some reason not been known
nor even suspected, there had
been for several months considerable
activity in the shares of this estate,
which, in consequence steadily in
creased in value. till latterly $S4 have
been paid to secure them. II seems
that a combination Of monied men of
Hawaii and California. having full
confidence in the original estimates OF
Col. Spreckels. and his plant to de-
yelope the largest sugar plantation in
Hawaii, and having determined to Sc
cure the control Of It. had been quietly
purchasing all the shares offered by
public or private sale, till over two
thirds OF the issued stock had been
secured, when a meeting of the share
holders was called. at which it devel-
oped that the control of the companys
affairs had passed from the original
owners, and a new directorate was call
ed for and chosen, to the surprise OF
every one. including the former board
which gracefully surrendered to the in
evitable. The old board was practical
ly controlled by Rudolph and c. A
Spreckels, while their successors are
residents OF Hawaii and California.
The capabilities Of his fine estate are
almost unlimited, and under the new
directorate, with abundant resources
to develop the now latent artesiar
water supply, which is believed to b'
practically inexhaustable, 1t is among
the possibilities of the near future tina
the ambition OF Col. Spreckels to turf
out 10000 tons Of sugar annually. ma!
yet be accomplished by his successors
(The present owners Of the grea
property have planned already for {
production OF 10000 tons OF sugar..

4 Fighting N COOK
Has Undertaken to Organize Regi-
nlent Over the River.
One Company at Martins Ferry,
Another at Bridgeport, and Other
Towns to Be Visited by Mr..
McCOok To-Day.

Since the second proclamation has
been issued by President Mckinley
calling for 75,CC0 volunteers, some OF
the companies organized several weeks
ago across the river, when the war
fever was at its height, will probably
have a chance to go to the front.
There being no regiment in that con-
gressional district, George McCook, of
Steubenville a member Of the family
of tae famous Fighting McCooks, +"
has undertook the work of forming
one. He will visit the towns across
tie river to-day for the purpose OF get
ting what information he can in regard
to the companies, and try if possible to
get full company from each town.
At Martins Ferry they have a full
company, and have been drilling regu-
larly, consequently they are ready at
any time. All are as anxious to go
now as they were waen they enrolled,
and possibilities are that another
could be organized with little trouble
The Bridgeport company has but
fifty-one names enrolled. A meeting
will be called for tonight, however, to
be held in the city hall, when those
who are at the head of the affair eX-

MEMORIAL DAY.

Next Monday is Memorial Day and
preparations are under way for the &C
customed celebration in this city. 1t
is a holiday which Wheeling never al
lows to pass without an observance of
the ceremonies appropriate to it. The
Fourth of July is usually left to lndl-
yldual celebration-and that is usually
quite sufficient to satisfy the noisiest
patriot-but not so the day set apart
as sacred to the memory OF our soldier
dead.
Memorial Day Will have especial Sig
nificance this year from the fact. that
the nation IS again at war and once
more on land and sea its sons are ex-
posed to fatal chances. Already young
men of the present generation have CIV
en- up their lives as did young men in
the generations which have gone be-
fore Already there are graves Of sail
ors and soldiers whom the fortunes OF
war or the privations Of camp life thus
early in the conflict have numbered
with the dead. Before another Memoir
ial Day there may be fresh sacrifices
upon the altar of country. The lessons
of Memorial Day should sink deep into
the heart in this year, 1898, and We
shou.S give it special observance.

third in numbers and fighting power
and our army has grown from 30,00J
to 100000 fairly we'll trained and thor
oughly equipped troops. There are i'm
nortant lessons IN all this especially
for those who have the national well
fare in keeping. One of the first les
sons is the danger Of fancied security.
II is now said that at the time war was
declared there were only about 10000
stand of arms for infantry, and less
than four rounds of ammunition for
coast defense guns. This is certainly
a humiliating confession on the part
of the War Department, and yet, who
is TO blame? Clearly, those who have
opposed the necessary preparation.
Another lesson is the enormous cost
of organizing and equipping an army
and navy. 1t is stated officially that
1926, 210,S40, or an average of $780,
1904 per day And Secretary Alger
has just sent to Congress supplemental
estimates aggregating $8S, $40. 1t is
also officially stated that the haste of
organization and equipment has neces-
sarily greatly increased the cost. Here
again is an instance of 'bunghole waste
and spigot saving And now there is
another call for volunteers which will
greatly increase the war estimate.
A third lesson is the vital importance
OF swift, hard blows. This has been
illustrated in the case of Manila and is
probably the most Immediately import
ant lesson CT all.

SAMOA'S TROUBLES.

News has come by steamer that a
rebellion is imminent in Samoa and
that rebels are hosting their flag in
defiance of King Malietoas govern
ment
This outbreak especially at this time
is calculated to raise the question if
Germany is not in some direct way the
fomenter of it. Germany has doubtless
been noting the tendency of some of
our public men to reach out for terri
tory in the oceans about us, while 1t
are DESTROYS of establishing a coaling
station there. At the same time Ger
many is almost openly hostile to the
United States in the present war, and
would strongly oppose any move the
United States might make in that
direction.
Germany has coveted the Samoan is
lands for a long time. 1t has import
ant trade interests in them, as has
! Great Britain, and also the United
| States.
There was civil war in the islands in
1885, In that year an opposition king,
| Tamasese a protege of the Germans,
was set up against King Malietoa, and
I the following year Germany declared
war on the islands. But Great Britain
| and America stood in the way of the
islands becoming German possession,
and in 1889 a conference of the three
interested powers was held, at which
! the neutrality of the islands was joint
| ly guaranteed, as we'll as equal rights
| of residence. trade and personal pro-
| lection to the citizens of the three
nations. The same year Malietoa was
restored to the throne.
| Since 1889 American trade in the is
lands has grown rapidly and Amerl-
can influence has greatly increased in
| the southwest Pacific-particularly
since the battle of Manila. If Ger
many is fomenting strife in the islands
it probably hopes, by the reopening OF
| old troubles, to better its opportunity
for playing a larger part in their at
| fairs.

Eldora R. Nuzum Killed by B. & 0
Train Near Warrington Was
Waiting for the Train That Killed
Him.

Eldora R. Nuzum a well-known Bal
timore and Ohio freight brakeman, was
killed early yesterday morning near
Warrington. The accident occurred
shortly after 2 o'clock and as near as
could be learned happened in the fol-
lowing manner: Nuzum had been en-
ployed on the ballast train, which was
at Glover's Gap, and the evening be-
fore he drew his money and came to
Warrington to spend the evening. AT
the time above mentioned he went to
the west end Of the yards, where he
would wait for the freight going east.
Arriving at the place he sat down on
the track and fell asleep, and was
struck by freight train No 81, engine
No. 1905, west bound. The wheels ran
over his body near the hips, nearly sew
ering IT. While he was badly used up
about the face and bruised in other
places. The train was stopped at once
but it was seen that he had been killed
almost instantly and nothing was left
but to have the remains taken to an

and later the body was sent to his home
,, at Moundsville, where his parents re-
side Young Nuzum had been with
the company nearly five years and was
well liked by all his associates. He
was % years old and unmarried. He
belonged to Ohio Valley Lodge No. 13

cident, as it was an unavoidable one

will be held this afternoon at O'Clock

THE PLUTOCRArIC SCHEME.

Mark Hannas brother-H. H. Han
mttee of the Indianapolis convention
of gold bugs-is still sending out circu
lars to bankers all over the country in
behalf of the measure recently reported
from the committee on banking and
currency of the House, and the other
day referred to at length in these
columns, a measure intended to give
the national bankers a still firmer grip
on the currency of the country by
permitting them to issue more of their
paper, but chiefly to distract the popu-
lar mind from the main issue of the
currency question by offering this
paper imitation Of the currency instead
of the legitimate and entirely safe in
money which the free coinage of silver
would give.
This last circular is a pitiful plea
for support and active work among
congressman, on whom all sorts OF
pressure is to be brought to bear by
the national bankers everywhere in be-
half OF this mongrel and worthless, if
not dangerous, makeshift, which is in
tended as bufxark to the oppressive
gold standard.
In almost every Instance appeal is
made by Mr.. H. H. HanRa to the Re-
publicanism of the recipient OF the clr-
eular' showing it to be sNictly par
tisan gold bug scheme which should
consequently, fool no one. On ne con-
'rary' the knowledge of what the pluto
Gratis are doing should arouse Thea peo-
pie regardless of party, to cotl nter
action. few words from the VOTERS
VIII have quite as potent effect with
congressman as if they came franz.

THE CONFEDERATE FLAGS.

1t has again been proposed to return
the Confederate flags which were cap
tured in the war of the REBELLION, to
their former owners. At this time,
now that ''the blue and gray" are
marching shoulder to shoulder against
a common foe of our common country,
it certainly would be a most fitting
thing to do.
At time when both are an indis-
soluble unit in allegiance to our
country, it is most uniting to
keep these flags as trophies of a sue
cessful war waged by one section OF
the country against another section.
The South, which is demonstrating
it's entire loyalty in the present war,
and which gave one of its sons as the
first sacrifice, are not asking for the
flags which were taken from it in the
long ago; but that it would appreciate
their return and interpret it as fresh
evidence Of the good will Of The North,
there can be no question.
1t is to be hoped that the opportunity
to do this fraternal act-an act which
IS for the good of the whole country
will be taken advantage of very soon.
There could be no better time than
now, when both Northern and South
ern men are risking their lives for
common flag-and that flag the Stars
and Stripes.
