HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common glass
with Urine and let it stand twenty
four hours; a sediment or settling
indicates an unhealthy condition Of
the kidneys. When urine stains
linen it is positive evidence of kid
ney trouble. Toe 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, fulfills 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 a 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 Sistersville.

stringtown Happenings.
Special to the Review.
Stringtown, March 4

StrlngtoWn, Marcn II.
During the past ten days the
thirsty element of Stringtown have
suffered untold agonies and unless
his honor, the judge, relents soon
the town threatens to become de-
populated, only however, by the
bum element that has made itself
so annoyingly conspicuous.
In Our last bunch of notes from
this place mention was made of a
raid imposed on local gambling
houses and speakeasies; recently
actuated by an intense desire to
appease the thirst Of Stringtown's
populace, the philanthropic booze
man started up a joint on the
Blind Tiger" plan, but timidity en-
the part Of observers killed this and
the last grand efforts of an inven-
tive mind have fallen into disuse;
monumental stroke of keen con-
ception shattered beyond the posi-
bility of revival. Such is life in
Stringtown.
The latest affair of a social nature
to claim the attention of society in
Stringtown was the first annual
hop given by Stringtown Tent No.
&c K. o. T. NJ, on the evening
of St. Patrick's day, in their hall
on Main street. The Maccabees
have beer credited with being
strictly up 10 date in all their af-
fairs, and the one given on the 18TH
inst. was truly in keeping with the
reputation they have achieved, a
maiden effort that will long remain
fresh in the memories of those who
were so fortunate as to have been
there.
Music for a cleverly arranged
program of twenty dances was
furnished by the Stringtown man
dolin and guitar club, and the
whole affair was ably conducted by
John R. Campbell, supreme COM
mander of the Tent.
George Krugg, aged IS, and a
tool dresser employed by Davis
Bros, contractors in this field, met
with an accident on the 18th inst.
that almost resulted in the loss of
his life. Krugg was oiling the en-
CINE at the we'll, and as is frequently
the case, did not deem it necessary
to shut it down. In some manner

Observation-Disclosures.

Capt. Fred Hornbrook is married
alter years of waiting and months
of deceit, telling his many friends
that he was not matrimonially in
clined. His fair bride was Miss
Abigail Bedillion, who is sister OF
Mr.. Will Bedillion, the genial
manager of the wharf boat.
The wedding took place yester-
day at the home of the brides par
ents at Wade, o. Only a few of
their immediate friends and rela-
tives were present to witness the
ceremony. The young couple left
today for GAINESVILLE, O., where
they will be rendered a reception by
Mr.. Hornbrook's parents. Much
happiness and success in life are
Our wishes for these young people.

his oiler dropped down into the bed
plate of the engine, and in reaching
under the belt pulley to recover it,
his clothing became fastened be-
tween the belt and wheel, drawing
him in and after carrying him
laround the shaft several times
stopped the engine. This was the
first intination that the driller,
who was working inside, had of the
accident and hurrying to the engine
house found Krugg lying in the
center of the room bleeding pro-
fusely from the wounds he had re-
ceived; his jaw being broken in
three places and apparently mass
of broken bones and mangled
flesh. He was taken to the hospital
at Wheeling, where it was discov-
cred his injuries were not neces-
sarily fatal. The accident remains
a mystery, as the injured man is
unable to talk, and his driller is at
loss to know how he could have
gone over the belt pulley, as the
belt was tight and he was hitched
on and drilling at depth of 200
feet. Krugg is unmarried.
! James Dawson, aged 24, son Of
James Dawson of this place, died at
the home of his father Tuesday
morning, after a long illness brought
on by cold and ending in con-
sumption. The deceased was a
popular and we'll known young man
of this county and the interment
which was private, took place in
the homestead burying grounds.
Theodore Sherer is wearing an
eight pound effeminate smile; con-
gratulations and suggestions are
now in order.
A man, a dilapidated, crushed
bunch of suffering humanity lay
sandwiched among sundry beer
kegs few nights ago, his lace
wearing January-thaw-expression,
and through his parched lips
poured forth a heart.rending, soul
appealing tale Of hard luck. He
had been relieved of his roll in a
local dive, hence his detection.
When he had finished his tale of
woe man who had been listening
attentively, said, with a scornful
smile developing itself beneath his
nasal appendage, into contempt:
You should go against the Tyler
county law makers then you will
know that you have been some
place" The meaning while rather
ambiguous, seemed to be under
stood and the man addressed looked
longingly at an empty key and
groaned aloud in his mental despair.

KNOWING HOW PAYS
A Captain on the Ohio Speaks
on a Personal Matter.

When it became compulsory in
the states of Ohio and West Vir-
ginia for captains and other officers
of steam craft to go up for exami-
nation and take out papers llcens.
ing them to hold positions, candi-
date presented himself whose Hoos-
ier-like appearance betokened that
he knew very little about naviga-
ton and less about the propelling
force of a steamboat. Looks are
often deceptive and in this case the
Hoosier answered quickly and cor
rectly every question asked him.
One of the examiners, a good-na-
tured official, jokingly said: MY
man, you have done remarkably
well, but answer this: Surprising
you were out in the middle Of the
Ohio in steamboat and the pumps
were in good working order but
would not draw water, what would
you do?" The answer came as
quickly as any of the preceding: Il
would look over the side of the hoat
and see if the Ohio was dry" Now
this old anecdote has nothing what
ever to do with Capt. B. F. Good
will, of 48 Penn street, Wheeling,
w. Va, master and pilot class No.

of craft on the Ohio and, Mississippi
for the last 80 years. We merely
introduce him in this manner, so
that if the reader is annoyed in the
same way as the captain he will
know what to do.
The captain says: II have enjoyed
good health all my life with the
exception of weakness in my kid
neys which first bothered me four
or five years ago. In damp or
changeable weather and when ex-
hausted from long standing at the
wheel, l would suffer from weak

severe urinary weakness, causing

Speclal 10 the REVIEW.
Middlebourne, March 1S.-The
latest sensation in town is the libel
suit against the editors and proprie-
tors of the Tyler county Star. The
suit is styled Isaac M. Underwood
versus H. w. Smith and o. H.
Barnes, editors, etc, in libel. The
suit grew out of that paper publish
ing a series of articles headed "a
History, by XXX Chronicles" in
which different persons and officers
of the county are written up.
Among those written up is Mr..
Underwood, bright young lawyer
of the Tyler county bar, and son
of Mr.. David Underwood, prom
inent citizen of McElroy district.
Mr.. Underwood has brought suit
for the sum of $4,000 damages.
The suit was brought yesterday
afternoon and the papers served
during the evening. The newspa-
per men of West Virginia seem to
be getting into hot water lately.
P. A. Shanor, George L. Roberts
and Judge Jacobs are here taking
dispositions in the Bunfeld lease
case. Harry McEldowney, the
handsome stenographer, of New
Martinsville, is taking the deposi-
tons.
James w. Henderson, the jolly
oil producer, is here looking after
his interest in the Bunfeld lease
case.
Messrs. Sanderson & Sanderson,
torpedo men, will move to Our
town if they can get house. They
have located a magazine on the
Foreman Mill, near the Point Pleas
ant creek bridge, and will locate
another near the Jug pool.
Our merchants are paying 60
cents hundred for hauling goods
from Sistersville and Friendly. If
any man can assign any valid
earthly reason for boiling against
the railroad, let him stand up so we
can look at his shape and size.
The Inland Telephone Co.. man
ager has issued an order along the
line not to charge any message to
the receiver of message, but the
sender must pay or have it charged
to him. This inconvenience
people who have to transact
business over the phone line
as it often happens that the sender
wants to talk to the person at the
Sistersville end of the line over the
Bell system at his private place of
business on matters that wholly
concern the person to whom he is
talking and for which the person to
whom he is talking should pay for
the message. This arrangement is
notgood service; it will lose the COM
pany many quarter. We tried to
get the Oil Review for a matter of
news, but was met by the order of
the superintendent and had to give
it up.

From Mondays Daily.

lhat little spot or lana or SanQ
bar just below town, which becomes
inundated at every freshet and
known from one end of the oil field
to the other as "Coney Island" has
again sprung into prominence and
last evening was the scene of an
ugly shooting scrape. 1t will be
remembered that "Coney" has not
fourished since 'e6 and had lost its
notorious fame.
During the past fall and winter
speakeasy boats that were anchored
above town have oeen dropping
down until counting everything
in sight, there are at present
eleven shanty boats moored around
this noted spot. All of this num-
Der are not of the bagnio order yet;
the majority of them are of that
type and bar is run in connection.
For the most part these boats are
conducted for their kind in a SEEM
ingly respectable manner but at
times the boys will congregate to
drink and dance and have a good
time generally.
The real pleasure of these es-
capades is sometimes shaken by
general row, in which some of the
boys usually get pretty badly Used
up. Friends at times will become
involved in an alteration which
usually results in a broken head,
manned limb or a beautiful black
eye.
YESTERDAYS EPISODE.
There seems to be conflicting
rumors concerning the affair and
eye witnesses differ greatly in their
version of the occurrence. One story
as told by an eye witness is that it
was accidental, while one or two
others who claim they were by
ISLANDERS say that it was not acct
dental, but was deliberately done.
Both men were drinking at the time
and perhaps the major part of those
who witnessed the shooting had
had an "eye-opener."
AS far as can be ascertained from
various sources the real facts in the
case are substantially as follows:
Henry J. Douglas was down on the
boats and was drinking pretty
heavy. FIe came upon Andy Al
binger's boat and was drinking
there. Here he was joined by Ed.
Albinger, who was also drinking.
After some words were exchanged
Albringer procured gun, shooting
Douglas in the right hand, inf1ict-
ing an ugly and painful wound.
The second shot was evidently
aimed at more vital spot, as the
ball struck a button on Douglas
vest, glancing outward and only
making a slight wound on the side.
Some bystanders becoming ex-
cited hurried up town and gave the
alarm, making it appear that Doug
las had been fatally shot. Albinger
came up town and was taken into
custody by Officer Thomas Will
liams, who locked him up over
night. Douglas this morning swore
out a warrant charging him with
telonious shooting. The warrant
was issued by Squire Nissan, who
gave him a hearing at O'Clock.
Albinger pleaded guilty to the
charge and in default OF bail, fixed
at 5000, was remanded 10 Jail. He
was taken to Middlebourne this
afternoon by Officer Soles.
