Loan Company Fails.

New York, Sept. 26-Otto L. Barnard
today was appointed receiver of the New
England Loan and Trust company. The
company holds many western mortgages.
The Kansas City company's headquarters
were in this city. The capital stock is
given at $s25,000 and the last printed
statement showed surplus of 100000.
The receivership is said to be due to
the company's inability to realize on
loans made in 1888 and 1889 on prop
erty in western boom towns.

WE think our Democratic county
executive committee acted very hasti-
ly last Friday in deciding to hold the
primary election this week. To name
date with so little notice to the vo-
ters-before candidates have been
considered except in the most cursory
way-is unjustifable. We protest
against holding the primaries until
fair notice has been given. This I'M
expected action was not taken until
last Friday. The papers Of the coun-
ty will not be generally circulated I'M
til the latter part of this week-and
the election to take place Saturday.
We trust that the committee will
revoke its action, which we are sure is
the result Of too little consideration,
and not at all from any purpose to
choke off prospective candidates. Let
precinct meetings be held Saturday
to select delegates to all the coven-
tons. Then at some later date, after
proper notice has been given, let us
hold our primary election for county
officers.

500 Reward, 500.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages and that is
Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the
only positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a consti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure
is taken internally, acting directly upon
the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the founda-
ton of the disease, and giving the pa
tient strength by building up the consti-
tuition and assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have so much
faith in its curative powers, that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for list Of

Those Senate Vacancies.
KEARNEYsYILLE. w. Va,

KEARNEYsvILLE, W. Va,
July %, 1898.
EDITOR REGIsTER-Dy Dear SIS-l
note your editorial as a comment on an
article quoted from the Wheeling Reg
ister, in reference to Capt. Fl. G. Getz-
endanner and Lieut.. Pearson, taking
the ground that these gentlemen have
forfeited their seats in the coming ses-
sion of the State Senate and Legislature.
Did not the government at Washington,
which is supreme, make ruling that all
of volunteering would have said offices
retained for them, and would not there
fore lose or forfeit them ? Witness the
cases of General Wheeler. He is still a
Congressman, though at the front fight
ing for his country. Witness also the
fact that many clerks in the department
have their places held until their return
| may be in error, but such is my un-
derstanding. Respectfully,
D. W. BORDER.
The cases referred to by our CORE
spondent are not the same as in this
State. So far as the government clerks
are concerned, they are simply trans
ferred from one branch of the govern
ment service to the other, and the
promise is that another transfer will
take place when the war is over. They
don't hold both places at the same
time. Senators Getzendanner and
Pierson have entered the United States
service, and we believe that by this
act they have forfeited their right to
hold public Offices in a State. The
constitution of our State says they shall
not be eligible to federal and State Of
fees at the same time, and this is COM
mon sense. So far as General Wheel
er is concerned, we doubt if he is still
Congressman. Senator Sewell, of
New Jersey, was appointed a major
general in the army by President Nc
Kinley. Before taking the oath he
sought the advice of the Attorney
General Of the United States upon this
very subject. In private written
opinion the Acknowledgement told him
that the instant he accepted a COM
mission in the army he forfeited his
seat in the Senate. It's significant
fact that Senator Sewell did not en-
ter the army.

The Sultan and our Missionaries.

The Porte has demanded the recall Of
two American Missionaries from the
province of Aleppo, on the preteXt that
their mission is likely to cause distur-
Dances. The sick man of Europe, is
as unreasonable as his political health is
feeble. AS bright contrast to his
obstinacy and stupidity, the people of
America are acknowledging far and
wide the beneficence of the mission of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, namely to
relieve and prevent malaria, rheumatism
and kidney complaint, chronic dyspep-
STA, constipation and liver trouble. The
nervous, the weak and the infirm derive
unspeakable benefit from its use, and it
greatly mitigates the weakness and in
frmities which are specially incident to
advancing years.

Suit for Damages.

General H. K. Douglas and Lewis
D. Syester, attorneys for Mrs, Rosanna
Bowles, and twelve children Of Mrs.
Bowles, have filed a suit for ten thous-
and dollars in the court at Hagerstown
against the firm Of Bridges & Hender-
son, Hancock, Nd. The suit grows
out of the firms business in the man
ufacture of Round Top cement. The
mills of the defendant lay between the
lands of the Bowles heirs, comprising
some 500 acres, and the G. & o. Canal
and B. & O. Railroad The mines from
which the defendant secure their rock
which is used in the manufacture Of
cement lay adjacent to the Bowles
property. Plaintiffs claim that Bridges
& Henderson have trespassed upon
their lands and run their shafts some
one hundred and twenty-five feet over
the line on their grounds and in three
different places, at some points hun
dred feet beneath the surface of the
ground, sunk shafts and mined, cut
and carried away at least thirty-two
thousand barrels of cement rock. 1t
is understood that Bridges & Hender-
son after a survey had been made ad-
mitted that they had gone over the
line, and efforts were made to compro-
mise without avail An element of
damages in the case will be the fact
that James Elvertson, of Philadelphia,
had some time ago agreed to lease the
Bowles property and mine the cement,
and in fact had so entered upon the
lease, but discovering the trespass of
defendants threw up the lease and re-
fused to be party to it. Damages
ara laid Of fen thousand dollars.
