When You Meet In Japan.

Nothing is more amusing than to
watch two acquaintance saluting in the
streets of a japanese town. AS they
come in sight of each other they slack
en- their pace and approach with down
cast eyes and averted faces, as if neither
was worthy of beholding the other.
Then they bow low, so as to bring the
face on a level with the knees, on which
the palms of the hands are pressed.
A succession of kissing sounds is next
made by drawing in the breath between
the closed teeth, interspersed with Sc
ries of complimentary phrases uttered
with great volubility in sort of under
toned falsetto, each trying to Guido his
friend in rapidity and extravaganza Of
language, while the palms are diligent-
~ rubbed against each other.
At last the climax is reached, and
each endeavors to give the precedence
30 the other. For some moments, per-
haps for a full minute, the polite con-
test continues Then the ceremony alb
ruptly ends, as if the difficulty were ca
pable OF none but brusque solution,
and the two pass ON hurriedly, with .
look of extreme relief.

She Was Well Posted.

In the Sunday school room Of en- Epis'
copal church in Brooklyn the other day
lecture was given for the benefit OF
some worthy object. 1t was on week
day, but on the hymn board in the front
of the room were what the regular mem
bcrs of the congregation said were the
numbers Of the hymns that had been
sung on the Sunday before. But an out
slider was struck with something pecul-
lar about them. There were four num-
bcrs arranged in line one under the
other, as is customary on the hymn
boards, and they were, as they appeared
to the audience gathered for lecture,

"Why, it was the funniest thing, "
said a woman who was present. Il no.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common glass
with urine and let it stand twenty
four hours; sediment or settling
indicates an unhealthy condition OF
the kidneys. When urine stains
linen it is positive evidence of kid
ney trouble. Too frequent desire to
urinate or pain in the back, is also
convincing proof that the kidneys
and bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney rem
edy, fulflls every wish in relieving
pain in the back, kidneys, liver,
bladder and every part of the urin-
airy passages. 1t corrects inability
to hold urine and scalding pain in
passing it, or bad effects following
use of liquor, wine or beer,and over
comes that unpleasant necessity OF
being compelled to get up many
times during the night to urinate.
The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp Root is soon real
lied. 1t stands the higher for its
wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need medi-
cine you should have the best. Sold
by druggists, price fifty cents and
one dollar. You may have sam
pie bottle and pamphlet sent free
by mail, upon RECEIPT of three two
cent stamps to cover cost OF postage
on the bottle. Mention Sisrersville
Weekly Oil Review and send your
address to DR.. Kilmer & Co., Bing-
hampton, N. Y. The proprietor Of
this paper guarantees he genine'
ness of this offer.

A jesse James Hold Up.

A. M. Mccoy Of Horsecave, KY, Is
famous throughout the Blue Grass State.
For about twoscore years he owned the
stagecoach lines between Horsecave
and Mammoth cave and Glasgow and
Mammoth cave. He operated these lines
all through the troublous times Of the
civil war. Of course he met with many
narrowing experiences during tho time,
and which he likes to tell.
Probably no incident connected with
his career is more thrilling than the
hold up of one of his stages by Jesse
James and three Of his "pals' some
time back in the seventies. This Incl
dent is described in one of the stories OF
that notorious hignwayman. 1t occurred
early one morning. When the stage was
about half way between Horsecave and
Mammoth cave, four men sprang out
from the side of the road and ordered
the driver to halt. One OF the men
caught the horses and the other three
drew pistols and held them at the heads
Of the driver and passengers. The driver
of course did as ordered, and the men
proceeded to search the passengers. Ev
erything of value was taken.
One of the men robbed was a n5c
named Roundtree, who was we'll know!
at that time. He had valuable golc
watch, which James confscated for his
own use. The timepiece was held very
dear by Roundtree, as it Lad Ducn pre-
sented him by Ex-Governor Knott, who
was at that time young man. The no.
torious Jesse carried this watch during
the rest of his life Louisville Dispatch.

From Fridays Daily
South Brown Betty street was
the scene of a short episode last
evening that almost resulted in a
tragedy. AS it is one man sus-
tanned a broken ankle and was
otherwise badly injured in the
melee. The story is that same old
stereotyped one, of jealousy, in
constancy, and unpleasant domes-
tic relations between man and
wife. It seems, as far as we can
ascertain, the real facts in the case
are that a man by the name OF
Curry has not been living pleasant
ly with his wife for sometime, in
fact they have made no attempts al
living under the same roof fol
some time past. He was tore
ed to leave for his crulty and
has since been employed in or neal
Warrington. About a week age
he came to the city and on the pre-
tense of being anxious to see hi:
children his estranged wife re
ceived him kindly. Later in the
evening he came to the house thu
second time but was drinking
heavily and his wife refused to ad
nit him to her home. The mex
morning she warned him that if thu
occurance of the preceding nigh
transpired again she would b.
forced to call the police. He left
telling her to not report him ant
he would go back to work. HI
concealed himself around town art
made her believe he had gone.
Last evening Mr.. Burns was talk
Sistersville oil review. [volume] (Sistersville, W. Va.) 1896-1901, 1898-06-29

ing to a lady next door, and re-
marked that he intended leaving
for Warrington this morning.
When he went to leave, Mrs. Curry
called him and requested that he
carry note to her husband, whom
she supposed to be at Washington.
He told her politely that he would
be glad to comply with her request,
and she invited him into the house
until she could prepare her missive.
Her husband was not at Manning
ton, but instead he was at the time
Swallowing her home, and when he
saw Burns enter, he rushed against
the rear door with such force that
it was hurled from its hinges and
before the couple could realize
what was taking place, the irate
and thoroughly excited husband
had bounced upon Burns and
was doing his utmost to
kill him. Burns managed
to get on the porch and was ward
ing off the blows of his assailant
when he in some manner stepped
backward off the porch, dislocating
his ankle and fracturing some OF
the bones of the ankle joint. The
two men have been good friends
for number of years, and Mr..
Burns avows that had Curry been
sober the row and accident would
never have occurred. The injured
man was carried to his room at the
Arlington hotel where he is resting
fairly comfortable under the cir
cumstances.

The Fourth will be day of all
days. People have announced
their intention of coming for miles
around. The committeesare work
ing hard and everything is working
nicely. The country has been
thoroughly advertised by posters
and placards OF patriotic designs,
and cannot help but attract the at
tention of the people. There is
not single thing advertised but
what will take place. Many peo.
pie believe the balloon ascension is
a fake, but such is not the case.
Prof. Miller, the world renowned
aeronaut, of Franklin, has entered
into an agreement with the COM
mittee to make the trip above the
clouds. He has also made a SINH
lar contract with Marietta. He
will make the asscention here in the
corning and will leave for Marietta
on the afternoon train
Another pleasing feature of the
days pleasures will be the Ferris
wheel. We are informed by Mr..
T. 2. Houston that he has already
secured one and has it On the road.
The mayor has granted him per-
mission to erect it in some promi-
nent place.
The fire department has secured
the famous Isl Plunkard band
from Wetzel county, and this OF
itself, we are told, will be worth
your while coming to see. Every
member is a typical rural farmer to
begin with, and they expect to add
to their unsophisticated country ap-
pearance until they will be ridicu-
lousy laughable.
The Middlebourne band was en-
gagged yesterday for the day. They
agreed to furnish twenty pieces for
the sum of $50 and thes fun which
they will get Out OF it.
The fireworks display and the
parade will be worth seeing.
The parade will be a mammoth
one consisting of several thousand
people headed by the Grand Army
OF the Republic.
The fireworks display will not
be surpassed from the gulf to the
lakes, and can only be equaled by
Admiral Dewey's great display at
Manila, May Ist.
The town of New Martinsville
will have their celebration on Sat
urday, July sd, and will come here
en- mass.
The fremen will bring their race
cart along, and some spirited runs
between our boys and New Mar
tinsville will occur.
The tennis game will be interest
ing, and the fat mans race will be
the novel attraction of the day.
Jim Hockinberry is training hard,
and desires us to announce that be
will be in condition to put up a
very strong race. While betting is
in favor of John Reedy, Fatty Al
berts is giving the odds, and says
he is bound to win.
The shoot which will occur on
the local grounds will be interest
ing. Our Toys are in first class
condition, and the champion, Ed o.
Bowers, feels sure he can "do" any
body who cares to participate. The
program will be carried out to the
letter. No fakes go. There are
no towns for miles that offer equal
attractions, and the Greatest Town
on Earth will have the greatest eel.

PARIS, Oct. 30.-Ncwhere Is there
any sign Of agitation today The city
is quiet. The anti-Semite papers vain
ly endeaVor, by abusing the actions Of
the court Of cessation, to lash the pop
ulace into a hostile demonstrat ton, but
the people seem more inclined to resent
the culpa bility or imbecilty of the high
officers Of the general staff who allow
ed themselves to become the prey of
INSCRIPTIONS officers. The report Of
the officials depUted to investigate the
Dreyfus affair is awaited 1t is be-
Heved that facts are being concealed
in order to shield the headquarters
staff. Most Of Paris approves the de-
cision Of the court of cessa ton, al
though the Gaulois and the Eclaire de-
clare that revision is by no means GER
tain. The Liberte bows to the decision
but does not think that it will end the
agita ion. The an ouncement is made
that Count Esterhazy has been depriv-
ed Of his membership In the Legion Of
Honor
The Dreyfus case seems to have de.
layed solution Of the cabinet crisis
M. de Freycinct is again hesitatng to

on the ground that in the role in which

hold the portfolios Of war and justice.
