POETRY AND KISSES.

In recent magazine article a well
known American author has discoursed
at considerable length on the hesitation of
the poets to incorporate in their work any
more references 10 machinery than is abb
solutely necessary. Another writer has
declared that the pistol was avoided by
many OF the English poets, such men as
Wordsworth and Burns considering it UNI
poetical as the most commonplace ex-
preston, but the latter stiI appears to
prevail.
-
But there are some things that are Just
as much adapted TO poetry as-pardon the
homeiv simiIe-as jowl to turnip greens.
In English literature there is no end to
the introduction Of the kiss. and those
who have given US some of the most stir
ring lyrics and the best sustained long
poems have not hesitated to tell what
thew know Of the kiss. For instance,
Campbell. whose "Hohenlinden" was Sc
Iected by the late Charles A. Dana as one
Of the ten best short poems, says:
How delicious is the winning
Of q kiss at loves beginning"
George Wither. though not so famous
and hardly to be ranked among minor
singers. has nevertheless written a pretty
sonnet On stoleh hiss' az ueoIai I'LL
Me'nlIlhs no "io"9 y
From those two melting fupleS one poor
kiss.
Robert Herrick defines the kiss as
"A creature born ana liNed

M. Allen, for sixteen years assessor Of
this county, and a prominent resident
of Pennington, was adjudged insane
to-day by Justice Dawson and commit
ted to Jail to await the pleasure of the
authorities at the asylum at Weston
Mr. Allen has been a resident of this
town about eight years, was honest
and upright and thorough business
man. No cause can be assigned for
the unbalanced condition of his mind.
Festus Russell and a colored man
from Clarksburg named Gaswell, got
into a row at the residence of the
former in the East End about ten
o'clock last night, in which razors and
pistols were used as weapons. Mr..
Russell was shot through the groin.
His recovery is doubtful. The ClarkS-
burg man made his escape. The trou-
Bile grew cut of dispute about lady
friends.
The Interstate Steam Laundry
changed hands to-day, Mr.. Charles n.
Straub being the purchaser. The price
paid was $4,000. Mr.. Straub was for ii

long the board will take to formulate
its conclusions on this point can be
better Judged in Washington than in
Havana
Notwithstanding the permission
given by the United States govern
mnt for Spanish divers to examine
the wreck, the investigation by the
Spanish authorities of the condition
Of The ship as it lies in the water pro-
ceeds slowly. They seemed TO be IN
no hurry to learn the facts about the
bull magazines and other matters
which were first to engage the atten-
ton of the naval board. The govern
ment has, however, taken consider
able testimony of persons who were
in the harbor on the night OF the eX-
pi0sion 1t gives much weight to the
testimony of those who say they saw
flames issuing from the Maine before
the ship was wrecked.
THE UNDERSTANDING AT
HAVANA
is that the naval board will be en-
phatic in generating Capt. Sigsbee
and the officers of the Maine from the
implication of negligence, lack OF dis
eIpline or responsibility for the dis
aster It has almost been forgotten
that until the board reports on the
subject, Capt. Sigsbee is nominally
under cloud-that is, the inquiry
must determine whether or not the
commander of the Maine was in any
way responsible for her loss. The Sc
crecy with which the investigation has
been conducted has not prevented the
testimony on the subject from becom-
ing known.
The board will be able to go fur
Their and show not only that there was
no accident which could have been
prevented but also no basis for the
theories Of accident from an unknown
cause. How far it viii go in the as
sertion of positive proof that the
Maine was blown up is for the present
speculative question, the prevalent
Impression is that the board has evil
dence OF the deed without The means
Of finding who committed it. II is in
cumbent on the Spanish government
to find that out.
The denial. credited to Senior Du
Bose in Washington, that mines exist
In Havana harbor, does not receive
the weight that would be given to an
official declaration from Captain Gen
eral Blanco. or Premier Sa2asta on the
same subject. In official circles here

EDITOR REGISTER The boys at
home wished to know about the har-
vest and the prospect for work here
in the west, and will use the REG
IsTER as a medium to inform them.
1t has been very wet and there has
been no harvesting done here yet. II
dry enough it will begin next week.
There is an immense number of men
all over the west for harvest
great many more than there will be
work for.
The wages will be about $3.50 per
day.
My advice to those that contem.
plate coming out here is to stay at
home for there are fully two men for
every JOB.
The wheat is very heavy.

The fact that several dollars spent for the
right medicine has effected cure where
skilled and expensive physician aided by
the latest and most ingenious instrument Of
science, had failed, Is matter Of much
importance.
Important, because II opens to downeast
sufferers a new, inexpensive and sure
avenue to the restoration Of health and the
foil enjoyment Of the pleasures Of life.
Such was the experience OF Mrs. Ada
NJ. Herr, Of 439 North Charlotte Street,
Lancaster, Pa
From a weak, nervous, desponding per-
son, she was made strong, active woman
and cheerful, helpful wife.
Her story is interesting.
Mrs. Herr suffered terribly from female
disorder Her nerves became unstrung,
cramps griped her and caused the most
intense pain.
So weak and physically demoralized
was she, that the slightest labor wearied
her and household duties were burden.
The most alarming symptoms Of her
malady were the frequent fainting spells
that afflicted her.
In the midst Of her work, or in a con-
versation, dizziness would come upon her
and she would fall PROSTATE in a swoon.
She consulted reputable physician. He
diagnosed her case and prescribed the usual
remedies.
Instead Of improving, she continued to
grow worse the ailment that was robbing
her life Of the joys OF young womanhood
became more pronounced

treatment had failed to do.

No discovery Of modern times has proved
such boon to women as DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. Acting directly on
the blood and nerves, invigorating the body,
regulating the functions, they restore the
strength and health to the exhausted woman
when every effort Of the physician proves
unavailing.
These pills are recognized everywhere
as specific for diseases of the blood and
nerves. For paralysis, locomotor a.axia,
and other diseases long supposed ineurable,
they have proved their efficacy in thousands
OF cases. Truly they are one of the greatest
blessings ever bestowed upon mankind.

The gas plant was reduced from
$50, 900 TO $4,000
After equaliziDg the assessment of
the real property Of the city, gem
eral reduction of Is per cent was
ordered, bringing the assessment
down to level with that of the rest
OF the county. This makes the city's
assessment 1865, lS5 as against $780,
OBS in 1897, an increase in one year
OF Sl9C .095 on real estate.
A rebate OF one-halfthe taxes on the
Bank of Moran was allowed.
d. Fry allowed rebate on VIII swq
3l-26 81.
:. NJ. Knox was allowed the consti-
tutionsl exemption of $500 on his per.
sonal property.
The board having under considera-
ton the taxation of gas leases under
Chap. pa, Laws of 1897, decided that
where territory is undeveloped and
no gas, oil or mineral of any kind
known to be under such territory the
statute does not contemplate the plac-
ing of a property value thereon, and
therefore instructed the county clerk
to not place such leases on the assess
ment rolls. 1t was also ordered that
when territory is developed and gas,
oil or mineral found, then said leases
shall be listed al true value as other
property.
The chapter quoted above is as fol-
lows:
When the fee to the surface of any tract,
parcel or lot OF land is in any person or per
sons, natural or artificial, and the right or
title to any minerals therein is in another or
in others the right to such minerals shall be
valued aud listed separately from the fee OF
said land in separate entries aud descriptions,
and such land itself and the right to the miner
ais therein shall be separately assessed and
taxed to the owners thereof respectively.
| The register of deeds shall furnish to the
county clerk, who shall on the first day OF
March each year furnish to each assessor where
such mineral reserves exit and are a matter
of record, certified description Of all such
reserves; provided that when such reserves
or leases are not recorded within 90 days after
execution they shall become void If not listed
for taxation
