Children Burned to Death.

Elizabeth, w. Va, Dec. 1O.-Two
children of Mr.. Thomas Jones, of
Greaves Run, aged 10 and respect
lively, were terribly burned on yester-
day evening and they only lived a few
hours. Mr.. Jones attempted to kindle
the fire in the stove by throwing
crude oil upon it. An explosion fol-
lowed with the result stated. Mr..
Jones was also badly burned about the
hands in putting out the fire which
ignited in the bedclothing.
A physician was summoned, and
seeing the terrible condition Of the
burned children summoned aSphysic-
ian from this place by telephone.
The children were dead, however, be-
fore the doctor arrived. They were
both girls.

Saturday morning about seven
O'Clock, John Morgan, well known
oil driller and contractor, was found
dead in his room at the Commercial
hotel in Parkersburg, The discovery
was made by the night clerk, who went
into the room to turn out the light
which he had left burning all night.
His home was at New Haven, Pa,
but for about three years he had been
working in the oil fields around here.
He had been feeling badly for several
days and was complaining the night
before his death.

ing on the bed, fully dressed, indicat-
ing that he had died early in the eve
ning.

truly welcome, and all enjoyed the
merriest kind of a time.
~ome small tokens of regard were
left with Mrs. Payne, and at a late
hour the guests departed wishing for
Mrs. Payne many happy returns of the
day.

much-wanted piece OF literature, and

Friday evening about $3.50 o'clock
Jacob ~ Schuman walked into the
American Hotel and asked for the
clerk, Will Agey, what amount of
money he would give If the register
was produced. He also asked what
the book was worth to the proprietress
of the hostelry.
Agey told him it contained about
$500 worth of accounts. Schuman
asked If Mrs. Agey would give $50 for
it, or If not $50, If she would give $50.
Agey became suspicious of the man,
and, on pretext of calling his mother,
he went outside and called policeman
Officer Pat McNerney responded and
Schuman, who was under the influence
of liquor, was taken to police head
quarters.
Prosecuting Attorney ]. F. Laird
was called and he, and Lieutenant
Jack Hemlick put Schuman through a
severe course of questioning, but no
information as to the whereabouts of
the register could be gained.
The book s wanted by Mrs. Agey
forthe accounts that are in 1T; by Mr..
Laird for the information concerning
the Bates case and one or two other
cases that may develop.
After Schuman had been examined
he was allowed to go,-.as there was no
evidence which would justify his be-

less active and more given to idleness than
the stately danes of yore, it is because they
enjoy smaller measure of good health.
A woman who suffers from weakness and
disease of the distinctly feminine organs,
who is racked with pain and tortured with
headaches and nervousness, cannot be ac-
tive and helpful. Idleness and invalidism
are the natural results of suffering of this
description. The poor invalid woman is
not at fault, save in her ignorance of her
own physical make up or neglect of her
womanly health.
Thousands of women are neglectful in
this way because they shrink from the en-
barrassing examinations and local treat
inent insisted upon by the majority of
obscure physicians. DR.. r. v. Pierce, for
thirty years chief consulting physician to
the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
at Buffalo, NJ Y, has discovered a wonder
full medicine that cures all diseases peculiar
to women, in the privacy of the home, with
out the necessity of these embarrassing
ordeals. This great medicine is known as
DR.. Pierce's Fsvorite Prescription. 1t acts
directly on the delicate and important or
gans that bear the burdens of wifehood
and motherhood. 1t makes them strong,
healthy and vigorous 1t heals internal
liberation and inflammation and stops
debilitating drains. 1t transforms weak,
nervous invalids into healthy women.

handed the paper to the reporter, which
read as follows:
"Chester Kent & Co., Dear Sirs:-In
considering the great benefit that is be-
ing conferred upon humanity by Vinol
want to say as chemist that I think
one of its chief advantages lies in the fnct
of the possibility of administering it in
all climates and in all degrees Of heat.
Where consumption or other wasting
diseases exist they are just as much in
evidence in warm weather as they are in
cold. To be sure they may not be as &C.
tive in their progress, but the disease is
there just the same, communicating the
system and weakening the patient daily.
1.-THE greatest remedy we have ever
known for wasting disea rs has been cod
liver oil. Everybody knows the draw
| backs of this remedy, and how its terrible
taste and.vile smell precluded it's use in
many instances. Many patients who
weather were obliged to abandon it as
soon as the weather became warm, for
| then tine system revolted in much great
er degree against anything of such a hor-
rible fatty character. The consequence
was that with the departure of warm
weather the patient was just that much
further from recovery, and much less able
to stand the greater dangers resulting
from inclement weather.
"Now with Vinol this will all be
changed, for find that in Vinol we have
the active curative elements found in
the cod liver. We have them too in a
highly concentrated form, and best of
all we have them entirely free from
grease, besides being made pleasant TO
the taste. There is no reason why suffer
ers from all wasting diseases should not
continue to take Vinol all the year round,
when it is necessary. and by thus con-
tinuing its use. be able to effect perma-
nent and complete cure. I am glad that
you have had success in introducing this
wonderful remedy, for you surely merit
it. Very truly yours, h. G.. GREENE
"You would be surprised said Mr.
Dolan, as our representative returned the
letter to him, show many people have
continued their uso of Vinol all summer.
and / think I can safely assert from
what have noticed in my own expert.
ence, that there will be fewer deaths this
year from pulmonary troubles of ohron-
10 nature than is ordinarily the case. /
also feel 1t in my heart that In the end
VinoI will be recognized as the agent to
which credit will be given for helping to
stamp out one of our most greatly feared
diseases, consumption. By the use OF
Vinol and with little patience. especial
" when it is taken in time, there is no
reason why the ravages of this awful dis
ease should not be checked and the pa
tient restored to his uniform weight and
health"

The only permanent improvement of
any magnitude that has been made dur
ing the year has been in the lighting.
The present system of electric lighting
was put in in the spring of 1882. The ca
pacity of the original dynamo was sup.
posed to be for only two hundred and
fifty lights. But by additions from time
to time we had at last more than 800
lights. This was SO much OF an overload
for the dynamo that the lights lacked
brilliancy, and there was also a danger
that the whole system would break down.
