.Ac.u,. for Local P,id.,

There Is q great deal OF local pride II
Wheeling. That 70 a commendable trait
in any community, and Il has been OBJ
served and commented upon by visitors
to this city thrt there Is as much OF I ia
evidence hero as anywhere. We have
reference to the pride that Wheeling
takcs in her institutions md her good
name. In, the conservatism OF her, bus,-
ness men and in her well earned repu.a-
tion for hospitality. Among the things
in which Wheeling people take resperIal
pride are her splendid educational ad.
vantases. This Is evident from the
manner In which the various educational
institutions in the city and vicinity are
supported and the liberaltty Of the sup.
port of the public schools. To this Is
largely duo Wheeling's progress ~ other

Last week was Witnessed, for. In
stance. the commencement OF one OF
these institutions, the history OF which
Is inseparably connected with that OF the
city We refer to the Linsly Institute.
from which have. graduated several gen.
cratlons OF citizens who have taken the

professional life OF their times. me
history Of Wheeling without the history
Of the Hnsly. or the Lancastrian Acadc-
my, as it.wus known In the beginning,
would be like the play Of Hamlet WITH
the character OF Hamlet left out. y
There are other institutions in Wheel
Ing and round about that have also
made their impress, and will continue
to doeo, but the Linsly being the ollest
OF all, and having made so many con-
tributlons on the lines referred to, Its
annual comcncements naturally excite
the interest of the community. The In
telligencer refers to this institution, not
in disparagement Of any other OF SINH
lar character for either sex, or both, but
to suggest the lesson that Its record
teaches US In the matter OF local pride
The monument this institution has butt
for Itself. and which Is in evidence 50
prominently. as above quoted. sh.rwt
that the encouragement and maintain
'ment OF home institutions OF learning for
young men and women bring with them
their own. reward 10 a community.
Wheeling people who desire to give
their boys a first-class academic educa-
tion. whether in preparing them for COL
lege. or in merely preparing them for a
business or other active life, have no
more need OF sending them abroad than
have those who desire to fit their daugh-
ters for useful social and domestic life,
while We have right In Wheeling and
vicinity such worthy institutions as
those SO we'll known and which enjoy
more than local regulations. Parents
OF the communities that have no, these
blessings can find them right here in
the chief city OF West Virginia.

The readers OF this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that Is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
q constitutional disease, requires con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure Is taken internally, acting direct
ly upon the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation OF the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in do
Ing its own work. The proprietors have

Malcolm Townsend has pointed out
condolences of events in the lives OF
lincoln and jeff Davis. Both were born
in Kentucky-Lincoln in 1909, Davis in
1905. Both removed from their native
state in childhood. Davis going to the
southwest, Lincoln to the northwest.
In the Black Hawk war Davis was a
second lieutenant of regulars, Lincoln
captain of volunteers. Both began
their political career at the same
period, 1914. Davis being presidential
e,ector for Henry Clay. Both were
elected to congress at about the same
time, Davis in 1915, Lincoln in 1916.
Lastly, in the same year and almost the
same day, they were called on to pre-
side over the destinies of their respec-
tive governments, Davis of the confcd-
crate states, February 8, 1861, and Lin
coin as president of the United States,
March a. 1S61.-N. Y. Press.

music box from the pawn shop l took the
ticket, went to the shop and told the man
in charge that wanted to redeem my in
strument, and asked whether it had been
kept in order and had not been injured. He
assured me that it had not been tempered

let me wind it up and make it play before

the box up, it started to play. Now, what

the service, and she thought that the

might earn something toward the sup
port of the family.

The soldiers were stirred by the child's
enthusiastic devotion, and declared that
his drumming was different from that
Of all the other drummers in the army.
After the engagement at Wilson's
Greek, where the federals were defeated,
Corp. R, who had been thrown from
his horse, found himself lying concealed
from view near a clump of trees. AS
he lay there with his ear to the ground
he heard the sound of drum, distinct
but rather faint. In moment he rec
ognized the stroke of Eddie, the boy
drummer, and fastened toward the spot
whence the sound proceeded. In a
clump of bushes, propped against a
tree, he found the boy. His drum was
hanging from shrub within reach and
his face was deadly pale.
"Oh, corporal" said he, st am so glad
you came. Won't you give me drink of
water, please"
The corporal ran to little stream
close by and brought the boy draught.
Just at this moment there came an or
der for the retreat, and the corporal
turned to go.

his eyes YEARLY.
The corporal's eyes were blinded by
mist of tears as he looked down. The
confederate soldier, shot to death, had
| managed to take off his suspenders and
bind the boys legs above the knees!
As the corporal bent down to raise
the child body of confederate troops
came up and he was prisoner. With a

| the southern officer tenderly lifted the
wounded drummer on to his own horse,
swinging the drum before him. When

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infiamed you have rambling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases of of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inhamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.

case of Deafness Caused by catarrh that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

..ho+ he'll hole" said the old soldier,
oand from the top floor clear down to
+be cellar there ran hatchway, used
- time of peace for lowering and rails
;no hogsheads of tobacco. One OF our
saI1ows, who was good deal OF devil
IN his way, had occasion to visit the
adae of this hatchway one night and
nnticed a guard in the cellar squatted
- his launches, with his musket in
his arms and apparently fast asleep.
On the edge Of the hatchway there was
= barrel with rope handle on each
Eide This barrel was used as recepta-
,1o for all sorts of refuse. This dare
devil soldier quietly stepped among the
sleeping forms and touched Sam Ham
;1ton lightly on the shoulder, awakened
him and beckoned him to follow to
The batchway. Then he motioned to
have Sam take one handle while he took
tbe other. and in whisper he said:
.1ne. two. three!' and at the word three
both let go. That barrel was aimed
souarely at the head of the sleeping SEN
tinel. but by some occult means he
seemed to realize that he was in danger
and suddenly jumped to one side, and
as the barrel struck the ground he gave
the alarm by firing his musket. The
shot was taken up and. repeated BY the
guards outside, and then two battalions
Of artillery stationed over at Belle Isle
belched forth a volume of smoke and
flame, In an instant the long roll was
sounded. and from the left to the right
flank of Lees army around Richmond
could be heard the alarm, repeated from
regiment to regiment. There was a
great commotion, and, of course, an in
vestigation.
"Next morning when twas discov-
cred that the slop barrel was missing
from the upper floor ansattempt was
made to force a confession from the
culprit. Everyone was as mum as an
oyster. No one knew anything about

announced that until the offenders
made confession that floor would be
kept without rations. This lasted "a
hours. Then Sam Hamilton asked to
be taken to the governor.
"When he reached that august per-
sons presence he said: I did not do
this thing, but am going to confess
that did. I cannot stand it to see my
comrades starved to death, as the man
who did it is too mean to confess that

the LITTLE DRUMMER.


A pathetic story Of the civil war was
related by the corporal of an Hin. is
regiment who was captured by the ecu
federates in the battle of Wilson'S
Creek:
The day before this regiment was
ordered by Gen. Lyons to march toward
Springfield the drummer of the com
pany fell i'll. There was no one to take
his place, and while the captain was
wondering how he should supply the
lack pale, sorrow-stricken woman ap-
