SOME POTENT FACTS
That the Reader Will Do Well
to Carefully Ponder Over.

It 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. It's fame spread
and strangers who heard about it
wrote for information concerning it,
sometimes tried its virtues and
sometimes put off a trial for more
convenient time. To tell how it
was dragged from an obscure coun-
try village and placed before the
general public would be interesting
reading, but lack of space compels
us to withhold the particulars 1t
is sufficient to know that over a
year ago it had gone to every city
and town in the north, unpreten-
tious aud unassuming. 1t said: II
can do certain things; investigate
my claims; try me if you have back
ache, and you will not be disap-
pointed" The above is fragment
from the history of Doan's Kidney
Pills, a preparation which came to
Sistersville as we'll as to Martins
Ferry to stay. One of Martins
Ferry's representative citizens who
helped to push the work along is
Mr.. A. P. Dinsmore. That gentle
man says:
Mr.. A. P. Dinsmore, general gro
GER corner Main street and Lincoln
avenue, says: II have been troubled
for long time with my kidneys,
but the last year has been much
worse, and at times it was positively
painful for me to get around and do
my every day work in the shop. 1
had a constant, dull, aching pain
across my loins that felt as though
had been pounded all over. There
was also a heavy bearing down pain
through the bladder. I did not rest
we'll at night, and in the morning
when l would get up felt tired
and languid; even more so when l
went to bed. I had tried different
remedies without success, until I
got box of Doan's Kidney Pills at
a drug store in Bridgeport. They
helped me right away, and in a
very short time all the trouble dis
appeared, and I have not had 1t
since. My wife used Doan's Kid
ney Pills also, being troubled al
most as much as I was, and she OBJ
tanned the same result. Perfect re-
lief and exemption from pain. I
can honestly recommend Doan's
Kidney Pills as the best remedy l
ever met with"
Just such emphatic endorsement
can be had right here il Sisters
vile. Drop into the drug store of
c. J. Biggs and ask what his Gus
toners report.

THE ABATEMENT OF ITALY.
by the Chivalry of Our
Victorious Leaders.

From the New York Times
1t has been profoundly interesting to
watch during the last two months the pro-
gress of European sentiment toward the
limited States of America. Since Manila
and Santiago, with their splendid incidents
of chivalric courtesy so finely recognized
snd praised by Spanish officers and men,
and the exhibition we have made CT tre-
uendous capability by sea and land, the
older natiops have not only ceased to scoff,
but begun to praise.
The blind confidence in military training
and etiquette as the primal factor Of sue
cess has received a rude awakening. The
skilled. cowardly, bumptious Doors. sure to
go to pieces before the shock of trained,
civilized European armies and navies, has
given place to admiration at the tremen-
dous energy of a people who can improyise
an army in three months and fill even the
hearts of their conquered foes with delight
at their generous and chiyalric treatment
of the venQuished.
Then came the news of Philips splendid.

last the Elow-moving European intelligence
began to doubt IL those savages over there

all. People marveled in the streets and

White flags futter at the Spanish and
American outposts, and all is quiet The
first report of outrages by the Spaniards
within their lines was brought to the head
quarters of General Wilson today by a
priest, who headed a deputation from
Ciales, twenty miles northeast of Utuado.
The inhabitants of the place raised an
American flag after the Spanish troops
had left. The troops returned, tore down
the flag and macheted ninety of the inhabi-
tants- This occurred on Saturday The
priest appealed TO the Americans for pro-
lection, but the latter are powerless to
interfere In the present circumstances
even though a reign of terror be inaugu-
rated.

OF names 1t is not generally known that

will be remembered that about 1852 the
Queen of England had u gold cup manu-
factured as prize for the yachts of all
nations to sail for. Mr.. George Sears. then
the great New York ship builder, had con-
structed the yacht America to compete for

The America was afterward purchased
by some English noblemen. She was used
as blockade runner during the civil war
and was captured while trying to run into
Florida port. The prize crew presented
the vessel to the Naval Academy Then
It was that Captain Brown was sent from
Boston to serve as quartermaster. The
America was afterward sold to Ben Butler
The nag presented to the captain was
thrown to the breeze on the day of the
unyeiling OF the Key monument and there
is no man in Frederick who is prouder of
Old Glory than the genial captain, who
still loves to talk of old times and how,
he fought, bled and died for his country. !"

ENGINE FOR ENGLAND
It's COwcatcher VIII he a Curiosity
for the Travelling Britisher.

Tor the Travelling Britisher.
From the Philadelphia Record.
In these days. when American manufac-
turers dream of making the entire world
a market for their goods it is interesting
to note that the Baldwin locomotive works
have just finished their first engine for
England. For years they have been build
ing locomotives for British provinces and
colonies, but this engine is the first foot
held they have secured in the island itself.
The locomotive which Is double end
er,' is intended to run between Barnstaple
in De yonshire, to Lynton, a coast resort
about fifteen miles TO the north, and has
one feature which is expected to make Eng
iishman stare. This is a cowcatcher, or,
rather two cowcatchers, one at each end
a device quite unknown in English rail-
roedinS- As concession to English meth
DDS there is no headlight, but only a large
signal lamp in its place.
The Baldwins have recently shipped six
engines TO Spain, to be used on mining
railroad in the province of Biscay-a fact
which shows that the Spanish sometimes
do know good thing, even If American,
when they see IT.

Simple MIX Tests.

From the Philadelphia Times
A quick test of milk is to mix It well and
then pour 1t from a glass. Pure unadul-
terated milk will leave thick coating on
the inside of the glass. while watered or
SKINNED milk will run out cleanly. Good
milk should contain II to Is per cent of
cream, and the percentage of cream can
be estimated in this way: Take a long.
narrow bottle. with a capacity of six or
eight ounces. Paste on the outside a strin
OF paper. half an inch wide, running from
the neck to the bottom of the bottle; divide
this strip by pencil marks into ten equal
parts, fill the bottle to the five mark with
milk, and then to the top of the paper with
water at heat which will just allow the
hand to be inserted without causing main
and to which so much soda has been added
as would cover the end of a penknIfe
Shake well TO mix thoroughly, and place In
an icebox. In half an hour observe how
much cream has risen, and measure this or
on piece of paper: double this distance
and then see what part of the total length
of the paper strip on the bottle this is II
II is one-twentieth the milk only contains
per cent of cream; If one-tenth. then it
contains 10 per cent: IL one-fifth then n
contains 20 per cent. and so on.
