Talk About Candidate for Congress
special to the Review.
Wheeling, Feb. 25.-Although
it is several months before the
congressional campaign should
open, there are are many coniectures
as to whom should receive the nomi-
nations. 1t may as wei. be a settled
fact that the Hon. Blackburn B.
Dovener, the present incumbent
from this district will be candidate
for reelection. His friends say he
has cinch on the nomination.
The democrats are freely men,
tioning the name of Hon. John o.
Pendleton, the doughty ex,con-
gresham. Should Dovener and
Pendleton be the lucky men the
result will be battle royal. They
are the worst sort of political ene-
mics and they have been in politi-
cal scraps before.

The Oil Review has been award

The Oil Review has been award
ed the contract this year to print
the county fair directory. We are
not going to blow our horn, but
our people will have this year by
far the handsomest directory and
premium list that has ever been
published since we have had a
county fair. We propose to spare
no pains nor expense to make the
work one that will be credit both
to our county fair and ourselves as
we'll. We can we'll afford to do
this as we have by far the best
equipped job printing office in
the Safe Instead of being
printed on cheap newspaper we
propose to use heavy glazed book
paper. Many of the pages will be
printed in different colored tints
and the whole will be a work that
will reflect credit on all who are in
terested. Parties wanting to place
an advertisement in the Premium
list can secure space by applying to
the Review office. We extend ouE
thanks to the directors for favoring
us-with this work. -

He Saved Her hIickie.

Some of the British troops in the Irish
rebellion did not fight particularly we'll.
A certain general at lord lieutenant
party in Dublin was admonishing a
begging woman to leave the place when
she said, lit is l that am proud to see
your honor here in the red coat you
wore the very day when you saved the
life of my boy, little Mickie. F"
"Indeed!" replied the general, not
sorry to hear anything to his credit on
such a distinguished occasion. Il had
forgotten all about it. How did I save
his life?"
"Well, your honor, when the battle
was at its hottest your honor was the
first to run, and when me little Mickie
saw the general run he ran, too, the
Lord be praised !''-Argonaut

From Wednesdays Daily
Mr.. Jesse Henderson, whose
death was briefly mentioned yester-
day, was born in Monongalia Co.,
Va, March 3, 1873. and resided in
that locality until the year OF 1850:
when he moved to Middlebourne,
Tyler county, w. Va, where he has
since lived.
In 1896, Mr.. Henderson married
Miss Amanda Fox. This union
proved to be a long aHd happy one.
The deceased was the father OF
fourteen children, nine sons and FIVE
daughters. Eight Of this number,
together with his wife, survive him.
The eight surviving children are

Go After Back Taxes as Well.

Charleston, Feb. 25.-State All
ditor Lafoiett has prepared circu-
lar letter which he will send out to
all corporations organized in this
state, which have their principal
Office nominally here, while the
business they conduct is in other
states, informing them they must
pay taxes in this state upon all
their property in other states IN
Guiding the full amount Of their cap
Sital stock. Agreat many corpora
tons chartered in this state have a
nominal office here. while their bus:
mess is done in other states. This is
done in order to avoid paying the
extra charter tax, which is $40 more
on foreign corporations (that is,cor-
porations with principal offices in
other States) than on home cor
porations. While they have, by
making their principal office here,
avoiding the extra initial tax, they
have made themselves liable to pay
taxes on all their property, just as
individual citizens are required to
pay taxes.
The Auditor now proposes not
only to force them to pay their
taxes in the future, but to collect
delinquent taxes for five years back.
This will amount to hundreds OF
thousands of dollars.

ChamberIain's Cough Remedy Always
Proves Intellectual.

The are no better medicines On
the market than Chamberlain's.
We have used the cough remedy
when all others failed, and in every
instance it proved effectual. Almost
daily we hear the virtues of Cham
berlain's remedies extolled by those
who have used them. This is not
an empty puff, paid for at 50 much

good faith in the hopethat suffering
humanity may try these remedies
and, like the writer, be benefited.

An Advertising Story.

An Advertising Story.
The following story of the mayor
of Falaise is related by the Boston
Herald:
1t was dark in the streets of
Falaise.
The mayor ordered that every
citizen should hang a lantern in
front OF his door.
But still the streets were no
lighter.
Then the mayor swore an cath
aud issued proclamation that the
citizens should put candles in the
lanterns
And still the streets were no
lighter.
Then the mayor sWore a greater
oath and issued proclamation that
the citizens should light the candles.
Then the streets were lighter.
A man once wished to make
money.
He secured a good store.
He secured good goods.
He secured good clerks.
He made no money.
Then he turned on his store the
light of newspaper advertising and
let the people know he was in bust
ness and why. He kept them in
the dark no longer.
Then he made money.

ONLY ONE SHIP CAN BE SAVED.
Infanta Maria Teresa the One That
Might DE Repaired.

Copyright. 1898, by the Associated Press
OF Santiago de Cuba, July TO- via Kings
ton, July IL, 11:3O a. m.-The board of sur
vey appointed to examine the wrecks of
the Spanish ships and to inquire into the
nature of their injuries report that only
one ship can possible be saved. She is the
Infanta Maria Teresa. the former flagship
of Admiral Cervera.
The hun of the Cristobal Colon shows
she was hit only six times, and then only
by shells OF S-inch, 5-inch and 6-inch cali
Der.
This verifes the story that the com
mander of the Cristobal Colon surrendered
because he saw he could not get away
from the Brooklyn and Oregon and to con-
'inue the battle meant a sacrifice of life.
1t was found that the brass plugs of
the large guns and the bolts and locks of
the small arms had been thrown over
board
The Vizcaya showed she had been rid
died by the Brooklyn and Oregon. She had
not been struck by projectles larger than
S-inchec
Her upper works were riddled by one
and siX-pounder shells. Nearly all of these
shells exploded inside the supeAtructures,
and must have driven the men from the
guns. This confirms the story of Capt.
Eulate that the work of the Brooklyn 5
secondary batteries was so terrible that
the men deserted their guns.
The survey board arrived at the wrecks
of the Almirante Oquendo and Infanta
Maria Teresa last night at dark. and the
work, consequently, was postponed.
singular fact noted on the four ships
is that all the guns were trained forward
and the story that they were all directed
10 fire on the Brooklyn is, therefore
shown to be true.
The magazines of all the ships explod
ed. and the effect was to blow up the
decks and not completely pulverize the
huh or turn the keel up, as was the case
of the battleship Maine. This is looked
upon as being important.

Constantly on Guard Duty.
Chattanooga, Tenn. ,>July 11.-Company
B, Capt. Davis, First Georgia, is making
a record on provost guard at Lyle. That
little city was so quiet Sunday that the
newspapers failed to record single Mid
way row, and the good order preserved
was the subject of general comment and
compliment. Out of the First Georgia 300
men are constantly on duty. This means
twenty-five men to the company, and the
absence of so many from ranks frequently
makes it necessary to combine companies
10 get the best results at drill. This was
done to-day.
Two battalions had a skirmish drill I'M
der the command of Lieut.. Col. Brooks
They did such battalion maneuvering as
they would do as line of skirmishers in
battle.
The regiment will begin rifle practice
tomorrow, using the silhouette target.
The range is being perfected under the
supervision of Lieut.. Mallory and Sergt
Hardy of Company K.
Company M loses two sergeants and two

THIRTY AGAINST A THOUSAND.
Heroic stand of Col. Wilson and His
Men Against the MatabeIes.


From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
The heroic deeds of brave Englishmen
will always linger in the minds of their
countrymen, and any additional particu-
lars that can be obtained in connection
with such deeds are always welcome. A
representative of the Matabele Times, a
paper published in Buluwayo, recently
succeeded in obtaining narrative from
M Kotchwana, one Of the warriors OF the
inguba regiment which attacked and an
initiated Wilson'S force. 1t took some
time getting M'Kotchwana to speak Of tho
affair. He was quite ready to talk about
the crops, locusts, etc, but 1t was not until
he was twitted as to whether he had ever
done anything but till land like a woman
that he spoke.
Yes, my father" he answered. II have
fought In battle" and then he related the
following account of that grand stand Of
thirty-four Englishmen against over
whelming hordes OF an Infatuated savage
enemy:
when the white incos Wilson came
across the big River Shangani," said the
native, I'VE watched him, and, although
he knew it not. he was surrounded on all
sides by the remnants of regiments which
had fought at the Bembesi, the Imbezu,
the Insugameni, the Nyami Indhiovo and
others. At nightfall we missed the white
najakas, but toward the rising OF the sun
Umjaan, the great chief, came to US and

We were about 1000 I'm number, and with

saw they were busy getting their ammunl-
ton ready and saddling their horses. As 4
drew near the time for the sun to peep
over the edge of the world, we started fir

horses and tried 10 proceed in the direction
of the great Shanghai. But our men shot
well and horses dropped dead. II was a
cloudy morning, and the rain fell fine and
swiftly There were as many 'amakwa'
as three times the fingers on my two
hands Most OF them had on black covers
over their shoulders (capes).
when the white warriors found they
could not go on they shot the living horses
and stood behind them waiting for us. We
