sOMEPOTENT FACTS
That the Reader will Do Well
to Carefully Ponder Over.

I! was kept a secret for years IN
a good old Quaker family. The
neighbors all knew about it, and
many time had reason to be thank
full for its existence. Its fame
spread and strangers who heard OF
it wrote for information concerning
il; sometimes they tried its virtues
and sometimes put off a trial ter a
more convenient time. 10 tell how
it was dragged from an obscure
country village and placed before
the general public, would be inter
esting reading, but lack of space
compels us to withhold the partic
ulars. It is sufficient to know that
over a year ago it went to every
city and town in the north, unpre-
tentious and upassuming. 1t said:
II eau do certain things; investigate
my claims; try me if you nave back
ache or kidney ache, and you will
not be disappointed" The above
is a fragment from the history OF
Doan's Kidney Pills, preparation
which came to Sistersville as we'll as
to Martins Ferry to stay. One OF
Martins Ferry's representative cit
liens who helped to push the work
along is Mr.. A. 7. Dlnsmore.

OIL NOTES.
THE on. MARKET.

The 6rl Is during the past week
have failed 10 present any new tea
lures Work has been of a routine
nature and in the main develop
ments have been almost entirely
without interest.
Small wells or an occasional dus-
ter has been the results OF the
weeks work. Developments have
too, been confined to defined terri
tory and the wild cater is rarely
heard from.
At Hebron, two Cow run busters
were completed Saturday. These
wells were located near production.
Thompson & Co.'S No. East
man at Lone Tree will be drilled in
tomorrow. This we'll was due sew
eral days ago but was shut down
for lack of water 10 run the boiler.
Back of Friendly Holden and
Barnsdall will commence to spud
tomorrow at their No. Martin.
Harvey, Cutler & Co. will begin
spudding today at their No. Glen
denning, in the northeast extension
of the Elk Fork pool.
The most important we'll now
drilling in Tyler county is Thomp
son & Company's test on the East
man farm, at Lone Tree. This 10
cation was made for the purpose,
if possible, to connect the Elk Fork
and IA, field pools. Several at
tempts on different lines have been
made in the hope OF attaining this
same object, These projects have
proven disastrous, nothing more
than a little salt water and gas ever
having been found. This venture
will get the sand today, and its out
come is anxiously awaited.
Developments at Wilson run are
assuming an encouraging appear
ance, and several good wells have
resulted since a buster has been
completed.
Another pleasing feature of these
wells is the fact that they are
slightly in advance and will en-
courage other drilling. The South

"Fear God, Tell the Truth and Make Money"
IN THE WiNDPIPE
What to Do If q Foreign Body En-
 ters There.

A most alarming accident, and one which is often as serious as it looks, is tks sucking into the windpipe of nor sel of food or some other substance. This is mot very rare accident. espe- cially with children, whose hold-all, after the pockets are crammed, is usu- ally the mouth.
 The articles which have been drawn into the larynx through the sudden talk ing of a deep breath are of the most va ried character, such as jackstoncs, nuts, marbles, coins, buttons and pins, no. to mention burs. corks, tin whistles, leeches, shawlpins, hairpins, false teeth. and even real tooth which slipped from the forceps just as it had been extracted. Pieces of food are sometimes inhaled through hearty laughing or excited talking while eat ing.
 The entrance of the foreign sub stance, even if it is only water. causes violent coughing and a spasmodic clos ing of the larynx, which almost amounts to suffocation. If the body has passed through the larynx into the windpipe, or has been thrown out. this suffocative attack passes off, and the sufferer may think his trouble is over.
 Sometimes it is, if the coughing has expelled the intruder, but if this has fallen below the larynx the condition is very serious. The body may be ex- pelled during another violent fit of coughing, but often 1t can be removed only by the operation of opening the windpipe, known as tracheotomy.
 The danger of the accident depends much upon the size and nature of the substance inhaled: if it is hard, smooth and rounded body. such as a melon seed, small marble or pebble, or the like, there is a very good chance that it may be expelled in the same way it entered.
 To favor this expulsion the patient should lie down. with the head lower than the feet, or he may be held np for a minute or two by the heels. in order to get the assistance of the force of gravity. This, however, should only be done if the doctor is at hand to perform tracheotomy as last resort. because the foreign body may become fixed in a narrow part of the larynx, and so cause sutfocation.-Youth's Companion.

HOME AND FARM INVENTIONS

A handy basket for carrying farm produce has a canvas strip attached to the top with a gathering string Ut its outer edge to draw it together and prevent the spilling or theft of the con- tents of the basket.
 Incandescent gas burners are being made in England which can be used without the mantle if it becomes dam aged, the apertures in an auxiliary burner being so placed that good flame can be obtained by turning the gas through a passage opposite the regu- lar burner.
 In recently patented bed for invalids the mattress is formed of q series of separate compartments, which can be inflated separately or simultaneously to the desired hardness, thus permit ting the raising or lowering of any section to fit the patients body. A handy nail-puller has an ordinary hammer head pivoted on the section of the double-spring shank which car ries it, the other section being used to press against the opposite shank and close the jaws which are formed at the ends of the double shank, causing them to grip the nail and draw it when the handle is tilted
 Griddle cakes can be quickly turned bv a new utensil which consists of flat blade, provided with two journal hoxes to carry both ends of the spring | wire handle. one of the boxes being riqid and the other pivotcd so that q grip on the handle causes the blade to rotate half way by springing the wires | past each other.

Reunited In An Unexpected Way.

An accident that came near costing Walter Schriever. of St. Louis, his life, resulted indirectly in the meeting of a each others wherea bouts for 16 years. Schriever fell down an elevator shaft and was seriously injured. A few hours later Mrs. Hall. nee Schriever, saw an account of the accident in a paper, and recognized the name as that of her brother. The Schriever's resided in Little Rock until 1881, in which year their father died and the brother and sister became separated.

Object to Dipping Station.

rlson are opposed to the establishment of dipping station to the north of them at the Missouri line, as proposed and recommended. They claim that, having no protection from the ready in- fected cattle to the southwark, they would suffer great loss by disease com municated by the herds which must pass over their territory en route to the dip Their idea generally is thatat is not the tick that does the harm, but a matter thrown off from the hoof, and they claim that this matter is as dead ly to cattle of this state that graze over it as it can be to any. cattle north of the line.
