Looks a Little Dubious.

Tue county commissioners held an
Informal session Wednesday afternoon
to discuss the matter OF collecting
the delinquent taxes Of the St. L., X.
& S. W. railway for 1897. The road
was sold under foreclosure the latter
part of October, and if the proceeds
Of the sale are distributed before the
county gets its taxes, the county will
be loser nearly $4,000. Assistant
County Attorney HerriCk was in To.
peka Monday trying to get an order
from Judge Williams Of the federal
court, directing them TO pay the taxes
before the proceeds of the sale were
distributed, but the judge was out of
town and could not be seen. 1t is
probable that compromise will be
effected with the receiver Of the road,
and a settlement made without the
assistanCc-Of the!federal court.

Two Pointed Questions Answered

What is the USE OF making a better
article than your competitor II you
can not get better price for it?
Ans.-As there is no difference 10
the price the public will buy only the
bet Ter, so that while our profits may
be smaller on single sale they will
be much greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to
know your make is the best?
II both articles are brought PROM
inently before the public both are
certain to be tried ard the public will
very quickly pass judgement on
them and use only the better one,
This explains the large sale on
Chamberlaln's Cough Remedy. The

Bound to Come.

The rumOr is again current in rail-
road circles to the effect that the
Santa Fe will soon build the extern
sion from Amarillo to Albuquerque,
thus placing Wellington on the main
line. The Santa Fe is grading a pro-
posed cutoff line from Eldorad0 to
Bazaar, near EmpOria, Which will
materially lessen the distance from
Wellington to Kansas City and the
east. The grade is nearly completed
and bridges are built for more than
ha.f the distance between EdOrado
and Bazaar.
The only object in building the cut
off would be to help the traffic over
the Oklahoma division. Other mat
tiers bearing on the subject, create
the almost certain belief that the
Santa Fe will soon begin work Oh the
proposed acknowledgements ex-
tension and push it to completion.
The year 1899 promises 10 be a record
breaker for railroad building, and the
competition for western terminals and
shortest routes will be greatest. The
situation is such as to lend great hope
for the future of Wellington as a rail-
road town, and the city should heed
the importance of taking steps now
to accommodate any amount Of bust
ness the new policy of the Santa Fe
may throw this way.

Rock Island to Galveston.

1t is reported that the Rock Island
has actually purchased, or is about to
purchase the La Porte railroad, run
ming from Houston to Galveston, and
on the heels of this rumOr comes a
further report that deal has been
contaminated by which the Chicago
system is to use the track of the
Houston & Texas Central from Fort
Worth to Houston, thus giving it
clean sweep into Galveston.
The Rock Island now extends to
Fort Worth, and If the gap between
that city and sHOustOn could be
bridged by using the Central road, as
indicated, the acquisition Of the La
Porte would give it through line all
the way from Chicago to Galveston.
The Winfield Courier prints this
leahy: while coming in from An
thony the other day the train ran
down a woman, about the middle OF
the Frisco bridge across the Walnut.
The bridge was long and narrow and
the train was too close to stop when
the engineer saw the woman. He
held the throttle and his breath at
the same time expecting to see the
woman either crushed beneath the
wheels or dashed TO the cruel rock:
below. But she knew trick or two
Of which he did not reckon, and In
stead Of fainting or doing some othel
foolish feminine thing, she crawleC
out to the guard,rail and threw on,
leg over the tie andlcalmly swung of
head down. The train passed eve
her safely and when it stopped ant
the crew started back to gather u
her remains, sheIgot up, waived then
back and walked off the bridge tOwaTt
the west She evidently had,nerve
but that was not all that saved her
The woman has not been seen or hear
Of since, and all the men who vii
messed the performance are anxiou

Sistersville oil review. [volume] (Sistersville, W. Va.) 1896-1901, 1898-11-16

Every man who lost money on
the election in New York blames
Richard Croker with his loss. And
he is sulking in the tents of Tam
many Hall and vowing large vows.
But the fact is that Croker made as
good fight as was ever made in
the United States; had the rest OF
the state done anything like as good
as the metropolis, those who are
now disgruntled would be fawning
at the feet of the boss whom they
now imagine they would repudlate;
but they will be in line again just
as soon as Croker wants them, and
will do his will in the future as they
have been in the past.

A FEW DONT'S.

Don't judge the contents Of mans
head by the size of his hat.
Don't think man looks the right
way every time his head is turned.
Don't impair your happiness by bor-
rowing trouble or lending money.
Don't refuse to let your wife have
her own way-she'll have it anyway.
Don't go without things you need in
order to get things you don't want.
Don't blame the upright piano if it's
a downright nuisance; blame the
player.
Don't ask a woman questions. Give
her time and she'll tell you all you
want to know.
Don't marry a girl who isn't afraid
Of mouse or you'll be kept busy re-
GREETING it.
Don't get the idea into your head
that a baby cuts teeth; it's the teeth
that cut the baby.
Don't think because girl loves you
from the bottom Of her heart that there
isn't plenty Of room at the top.

The more the people of this coun'
try hear and see of General Miles
the more they are favorably i'm,
pressed with him: He talks but
little; he avoids rather than soliclts
a newspaper interview; he never
blows his own horn, nor does he
defend his own actions for the rea.
son, possibly, that none of his &C,
lions, so far, need defending. The
quier, earnest, composed manner OF
the man generates confidence and
inspires respect. He is the one
general who has measured up to the
popular conception of a military
hero, and certainly he is to this last
war what Grant and Lee were to
the civil war.

It is scarcely probable that the
intimation that Emperor William
of Germany will be selected to ar
bitrate the Philippine question will
be received with great favor by our
people. The emperor is all but
crazy; he is not on especial friend
ly terms with the United States
and never had a profound affection
for any republic, he is the one
typical representative OF the long
exploded theory of the divine
right OF kings; he is determined
that the Fatherland shall become
greater under his half mad reign
than it ever was before. A man OF
this kind cannot certainly be accept
able to our executives as an arbl-
traitor of anything in which the in
terests of republic clash with
those of a monarchy. But then he
has not been selected; nor has he
been formally suggested. Those
diplomats in the old country have
way of ascertaing how certain sug
gestions would be received before
making them, and this is only a
feeler.

CLOUDS HID rHE METEoRs.
November swarm Net visible I'm This.
Part Of the Country.

Part Of the Country.
The preliminary shower of shoot
ing stars, if it came to pass last
night, was not seen by the people
of Sistersville. The sky was
covered by heavy clouds, that
shed drilling rain and snow in the
early part of the night. Later they
scattered little, but drifted close
to one another under the impulse
of high wind Under such condi-
tons, meteor viewing was not pos
sible. During the preceding night
the sky was still more densely OBJ
cured and rain fell steadily. There
should have been few meteors,
advanced couriers of the stream, to-
ward the dawn of Monday. Prob
ably they were on time but not for
the edi6cation of the residence of
the upper Ohio valley. Reports
from the far Southwest, especially
from Oklahoma, indicate that the
sky piercers favored that region
both by sight and sound.
Those who unavoidably missed
the November show need not be
cast down, for a greater shower is
promised for the same days in No
vember. 1899, and a final demon
stration for the same time in the
last year of the century. In fact,
the meteor display of the two
nights just Fast is only the intro
duction to the great exhibit of next
autumn. This time the earth
passed through only the fringe of
the aerolite stream-next year it
will dash right through the center.
Meteors come and 60 continual.
ly. One or more may be seen on
any clear night. The great meteor
stream, which whirls in regular or
bit about the sun, is encountered
by the earth at intervals about 80
years apart. The last brilliant dis
play was in November, 1866, when
some folks thought the celestial
fireworks were given in celebration
of the return of peace to the bleed
ing republic. 1t was not so, for
since man has made and recorded
observations of aerial phenomena
this meteoric display has appeared
regularly at intervals of SO years.
Astronomers say that this meteor
stream is 5oo,ooo,ooo miles long
and 100, 900 miles wide, and that it
travels at the rate of Fl miles sec
ond. The procession requires more
than two years to pass point. 1t
is known that it has been thus NOV
ing for nearly 1000 years.
