MARTINS FERRY.

Yesterday evening at ten minutes or
seven o'clock Joseph Wolfe, of this
place, dropped dead while walking
along Second street. The diseased
was a brother of Edward Wolfe, Of
Hickory street, and for many years
has been employed at Mann's foundry.
His death was a very sudden and IN
expected one. as he had been enjoying
comparatively coed health. with the
exception of the past week. He had
SO far recovered from this illness IS
to 60 to work yesterday. He came
from his work yesterday evening, ate
his supper, changed his clothes and
left his boarding house, saying he
thought he would go up to the home
of his sister-inlaw and spend the
evening. Before leaving though he
complained to the landlady, Mrs.
Hutchinson. of having a pain around
his heart On arriving at the home Of
his brother, his sisterinlaw sent
him on an errand to a grocery. He
left the house seemingly. feeling all
right, but he was brought back with
his ewes closed in deateh. He was
walking along the east side of Second
street and when almost opposite the
city building, he was seen 10 fall. by
several men standing on the other
side. The pavement being icy they at
first supposed he had slipped and fell.
He made no effort to get up and 1t
was then that they supposed some
thing was wrong. Marshal Burns and
Watt Cline ran to his aid but while
they were running across the street

These things seem to be greatly in
creasing Of late, and without any ap-
parent cause. We see more men who
lack yigOr than ever before. We meet
moro women who seem broken-down
than in the past. Surely there must
be a cause for all this-and there is.
These troubles can arise from but
on cause, namely: disordered kidneys
or urinary organs. Indeed, it is now
admitted that the region of the lower
body is the prime source of most ply
steal ills When the kidneys become
diseased the blood becomes poisoned
and all the trouble, such as sleepless-
ness, lack of appetite, nervelessness,
restlessness, tired and respondent
feelings, follow in its wake.
The truth is, people are not we'll:
but they should be. and they Gun be
if they would only take the means OF
recovery that are near at hand. In
writing upon this subject, DR.. R. A.
Gum. Dean and Professor Of Surgery
of the United States Medical College,

the blood is in an unhealthy state
where there is no evidence of organic
mischief but where the general health

1t is undoubtedly true that Ameri-
cans as a people, are in a more or less
serious condition, and that there are
complaints which have become nation
al diseases. But it is also true that
modern science has provided an adeQ-
uate remedy which is able to fully
control it and supplant sickness and
misery by health and happiness.

Lincoln J. Carter. the author and
owner of the Heart Of Chicago"
which comes to the Grand the last
half of this week, is one of the best
equipped men for his business in
America He writes his own plays,
designs the scenery and paper, in
vents his own effects and personally
rehearses each Of his various COM
oanies. He is an actor, author, artist,
mechanic and designer, and he has
been very successful in each. Heart
of Chicago is said to be the very best
of his many dramatic successes, and
the forthcoming engagement promises
to receive crowded houses at each per-
Torrance.
An unusual amount Of interest has
been aroused among theatre-goers OF
this city by reason of the announce
ment that Darkest Russia will ap-
pear in the Opera House Friday, Feb
ruary 18th. This remarkable drama.
which has achieved great success IN
presentations heretofore. is from the
pen of H. Grattan Donnelly, and de-
picts scenes in Russia that make
lean public. The scenes are laid in
the land of the Car, but the American
touch is given in the presentation OF
the character of Septimus COBB, a de-
cjdedly fresh native of the States. who
is constantly popping up at inoppor-
tunate times and doing things that by
their very nerviness and efrontery
could not be tolerated in any other
parsonage In the Baroness Won
Rhineberg, he has an able second, and
her troubles in mastering the English
language provide no END OF merrl-
ment
A very large and appreciative audi
ence saw the first presentation IN THIS
city. at the Opera House last night,
of William Gilletts military drama,
Civil Service 1t was certainly
dramatic treat, justifying all the com
plimentary notices Of the production.
The company was large, and uniform
ly strong. The drama was exception

the interest in the many strong scenes
provided for by the pen Of the author.
Polished I'D to date, a pOtpourl OF

ed a half weeks engagement at the
Grand Opera House last night to
very large and enthusiastic audience.
The new "Dazzler" is one OF the
brightest and funniest farce comedies
presented to a Wheeling audience this
season. The cast contains the names
of many comedians, singers and dane
ers. who are prime favorites with low
ers of this form of theatrical divert
isement. The specialties introduced
during the action of the piece, are all
exceedingly clever. The girls,-there
are nine of them-are pretty and
sprightly, and their costumes are
bright and new. This laughing sue
cess will remain on the boards until
Wednesday night, and deserves crowd
ed houses.

ceived from newspapers throughout

Hero;sm of the Fishermen.

1t is always with a vague regret
that we read the sagas, and are
thrilled by the vikings exploits. 1t
seems as if the deeds of daring had
gone by forever, and as if the heroes
of the deep were a myth of the past.
Absorbed in the Morse romance, we
forget that the vikings were only
pirates, and that they dared for
slaughter and for booty. IL the
Gloucester of today had only existed
then. what heroic saga would it not
have inspired! For to risk life for
glory, or riches, or rescue, or love is
In the heart of every man to do; but
to risk life for bare existence, for
other peoples profit, and for an an
onymous eld partakes of that COM
monplace sublimity which does not
form the favorite plot of poets, al
though once in while it is the SUBJ
ject of daily paragraph.
For the vikings are not dead. From
Portland to New Orleans our harbors
are full of them. They lounge upon
our wharves, and we do not recognize
them They loiter on our streets, and
we know them not. But if there is a
more modest, unconscious or braver
fellow than Jack the Fisherman, our
eyes have yet to rest upon his face.
He is the hardest and most daring,
the best sailor in the world today.
Any Continental kingdom would give
its wealth to possess him for its de-
fense. He is the envy of every mari
time nation. Has he no value for us,
beyond the halibut and the cod, the
haddock and the cusk?-Century.
