that since I took the agency Of

of the cough remedy. In two years
l have sold more of this particular
remedy than OF all other makes for
the previous five years. AS to its
efficacy. I have been informed by
scores of persons o the good re-
suits they have received from it,

LEGISLATURE CLOSE
With the Chances in Favor of the
Democrats.

Democrats.
The next Legislature in this state
is possibly democratic on joint bal
lot, which, if true, means the cleo
ton of democratic Senator. The
returns from all the counties OF the
State are not in, but enough is re-
ported to make things look favor
able to the democrats. The republi-
cans have 9 holdover Senators and
Democrats 2, The democrats claim
tbe election of 8 senators which
will make the State senate stand:
republicans I6, democrats 10, a re-
publican majority OF E.
In the House the democrats claim
80 members to 81 republican mem
Ders, making a democratic majority
of 9 and a majority of 3 on joint
ballot.
This is the way the democrats
figure the matter out, but these
figures are denied by the republi-
cans.
The republicans claim Is votes
in the senate on their side, to 8
democrats. In the House the re-
publicans claim 80 members to 81
for the democrats, making a repub-
lican majority of II on joint ballot
for United States Senator.
This being true, you ask why
we say the democrats have won?
In the republican list of members
claimed to be elected they have
Burgess marked down as elected,
which we know is not true. An
other reason is, the Intelligencer is
making long howl about fraud,
but the winners have nothing to
say on this line. Knowing part of
the claims of the republicans to be
wrong, coupled with the fraud
howl, leads us to think the demo
Gratis have won. This may not be
true, but it is the way we figure
out the returns.
Freer's majority is 9o2.
Dayton it is claimed is elected
and we have no doubt about it, by
a majority of 500 to 700.
Dovenor of course is elected by
a greatly reduced majority. He is
behind his vote two years ago
about 1900 votes and has a major
ity of about I 900 and not IS, 900 as
the Star says he has.
Johnston, the democrat is elected
in the Fourth district over Ed
wards.

Bank Checks.

A check upon bank in the usu-
al form is simply an order for the
hank to pay money to bearer, or a
person named in check, and while
no preference would be given
among several holders of checks
given by an individual with bank
account, unless the same have been
certified, yet it is always good prac-
tice to ORA check soon after it is
received. 1t is not an uncon
ditional odrer to pay; it can be re-
scinded by the drawer, before it is
presented, and in order to proven
loss, the safer way is to realize up
on them as soon as received 1t has
been contended by some that
check, being an instrument in writ
ing, is an order to pay and cannot
have its payment stopped, except
upon notice to the particular holder
that the check as such cannot be
countermanded.
In the case of Florence Mining
Co. VS.. Brown, found in I24 y S. y,
page 1855, where check has been
given and afterwards countermand
ed, suit was brought aud the right
to countermand the check was up
held by the court in the following
terms:
can order to pay a particular
sum out of a special fund cannot be
treated as an equitable assignment
pro tanto unless accompanied with
such a REIMBURSEMENT of control
over the sum designated that the
fund-holder can safely pay it, and
be compelled to do so, though for
hidden by the drawer. A general
deposit in a bank is so much money
to the depositor's credit; 1t is debt
to him by the bank, payable on
demand to his order, not properly
capable of Identification and spec
ifc appropriation. A check upon
the bank in the usual form, not &C
cepted or certified by the bank to
be good, does not constitute a
transfer of any money to the credit
of the holder; it Is simply an order,
which may be countermanded, and
payment forbidden by the drawer
at any time before it Is actually
cashed. 1t creates no lien on the
money, which the holder can en-
force against the bank. 1t does
not of itself operate as an equitable
assignment"

DECLARED OLE
Is the Wedding That Was Set
For Christmas.
THE MAN IN THE CASE
Told Dreamy Stories and Rel a
tives Became Suspicious.

P. T. Ellery, of Wheeling, IS IN
the city, says the Parkersburg Sen
tinel, looking up the character OF
III. L. Kirk, former resident OF
this city, but now has business at
Wheeling. Thereby hangs tale,
which contains quite bit OF TO
nance.
About year, ago, Mr.. Ellery
saws Kirk went to Claysville. Pa,
with gentleman friend, who in
troduced him to Miss Alice Hick-
man, niece of Mr.. Ellery and one
of that aristocratic towns most pop
ular young ladies. Kirk was intro
duced as the district attorney
of Wood county, a position
in Pennsylvania, which cor
responds with that of prosecuting
attorney in this state. He puts his
"best foo." forward and soon gained
the esteem and, later, the love OF
the young lady. He paid devoted
attention to her and they were en-
gagged to be married.
In making his suit strong with
the young lady, Mr.. Ellery says
that Kirk claimed he was one OF
the most popular attorneys in Par
kersDurg and that he also had the
largest practice. Kirk had good
education and is progressing IN
his manners.
In short time after they met,
Miss Hickman went to Wheeling
and Kirk became more asslduous
in his suit for his hand. He won
and they were to be married at
Christmas time.
Kirk also told his afianced that
he was at one time owner OF the
Blennerhassett hotel here, but had
sold out to good advantage.
His stories were so dreamy in
their nature, that Mr.. Ellery be-
came suspicious and came here on
Monday to look up Kinks charac
ter, history and standing while in
Parkersburg.
Suffice to say there will be nc
wedding as Mr.. Ellery has discov'
cred that Kirk was guest OF Jallol
Chas. Cook on a mittimus from
Judge Tavenner for contempt OF
court. In addition to this case
there are other obstacles to the
match, which are useless to men
ton.
Mr.. Ellery came here and con.
suited Chief Heaton, who looked
up Kinks record. When Kirk was
in this city he was employed with
Bachman in the produce business.
He is the young man, who was
locked up with w. E. McCulley
on a contempt charge.
Mr.. Ellery is conductor on the
B & 0. road between Wheeling
and Pittsburg and he is we'll and
favorably known. He told the
chief of police the match was off,
that he was satisfied that a base
imposition was practiced on his
niece and that he would not coun,
tenance the marriage.
Kirk was but recently elected
second lieutenant of Co. L Second
West Virginia national guard just
organized here. Mr.. Ellery left for
his home today.

In the early days of Rome the ladies

that they made the ears sore, and some
times tore the lobes. There were doc

WHITTIER ARE WE DRIFTING,

just now there is spirit of un-
rest throughout the world. Every
country either has trouble now, or
Is anticipating it in the near fu.
ture. Wars or rumors of war, in
fllct every quarter of the globe.
Governments are suspiciously
watching each others movements,
There seems to be lack of conf
dence. Each fears that the other
ls trying to gain some unjust adj
vantage. The long-cherished idea
of the Fatherhood of God and the
brotherhood of man appears to
have lost its charm in n universal
scramble for wealth and power.
To-day, conscienceless greed is
corrupting and destroying tho civ
ilization of the world. Can 1t be
helped? l emphatically answer
yes. Will it be? l frankly say,
l don't know.
We have troubles here in our
own country, which will likely be
all we can attend to. l don't like
to be called pessimist, for those
who know me best, know that am
inclined to look on the bright side
Of life. But / must confess, that
l regard this ms the darkest hour
in our nations history. ! know
the criticism that this will subject
me to, but it is none the less true,
and he who, believing AS | do, fails
to sound the alarm, falls short of
his duty to humanity. Murders,
robbery and suicide nre of hourly
occurrence. Mob law is rapidly
gaining n prominent footlold in
nearly all the states. Law abiding
unarmed, defcnseless laborers,
peaceably marching along public
highway, AS they have lawful
right to do. are met by an official
mob, and without warran. or right
full authority, brutally murdered,
and this awful outrage Is endorsed
by the monopolistic press of the
country.
We hold public meetings, make
contributions and indulge in long
prayers for the Armenians, and

Turks while in our own country

tors of these barbnrous ou,rnges is

DOES it pay to advertise? That
is what fourteen of the large Den
yer commercial houses desire to
know. Believing the daily news
papers are charging too high rates
these fourteen business houses
have entered into written agree
ment to force a reduction of about
twenty per cent on advertising
rates. Experience has shown that
judicious advertising always pays,
and that the newspaper Is the best
medium Of reaching the people.
There is no doubt but that mil.
lions of dollars are wasted annual.
ly in advertising. Often one big
ad stimulates competitor in bust.
ness to outdo the other until too Of.
ten the profits of business are
thrown away in seeing who can
make the biggest display in the
newspapers.
The new economy-co-operation
will, to large extent, eliminate
advertising, as is shown by the de-
partment stores in the large cities.
In these big establishments one
or two lines, saying: ave are a
department store" tells the whole
story, and the thousands are at
tracted there.

The Denver Times has discov.
cred that Money is King, and Wild
ly exclaims:
What is to be the end of it all?
What is to become of the interests
of the producer and the consumer
when once the trusts (the middle
men) have succeeded in gaining
control of the affairs of trade aud
commerce and are enabled to reg
ulate the supply and demand to
SUIT their own purposes and to
dictate terms of production and
sale limited only by their personal
interests and cupidity? These in
quiries become especially pertinent
IN view of the fact that during last
month no less than twelve gigantic
trusts were formed among the VA
rious financial and industrial inter-
ests of the country, while two men
virtually control the grain supply
of the world and fix prices to the
consumer.
In answer we would suggest, do
nothing; wait and watch the trusts
devour each other; this they GER
tainly will do when there are no
longer any small concerns to con-
sumo. Let the trusts and COM
bines have their day; this is the
age OF trusts; let it alone; arbitra-
ry laws cannot stamp out an econ
omlc truth. The trust is a valua-
bic object lesson; it teaches the
economy and utility of CO. cooperation
in the production aud distribution
of wealth. The people can best
destroy the trusts by adopting the
trust methods.
