ma case Of West Ylrglnia.

West Virginia is one of the few
States in the American Union which
has no debt and which has million
dollars of public money on deposit IN
it's happy West Virginia banks. The
Louisville Courier Journal, comment
ing on this happy condition, says;
West Virginia of all states in the
South, has been most lenient in her
treatment of capital, and, according
to the arguments of the statesmen
who believe in taxing everything to
the limit, she ought now to be IN the
depths of poverty instead OF queening
it over her financially embarrassed
sisters. But by good treatment Of
investors she has brought in more
investments, and now demonstrates
that the way to raise large revenues IS
not to tax closely but to tax wisely.
West Virginia, of course, is a re-
markable exception in the sisterhood
OF States. 1t is young state, sparse
ly settled and wonderfully rich in
mineral wealth, something which
always attracts capital But West
Virginia has been most liberal with
capital and here lies the secret of its
success. She has done every thing in
her power to encourage it to come into
her borders. And we'll has she succeed.
ed. When a man with 81 600, 900 in
his pocket comes to West Virginiawe
take it that he is allowed TO look
around and get his hearing before
having a tax assessor upon his back.
We do not propose here to take up the
question of taxation, it is the one
great question of government But
in city, county and state, common
sense, not prejudice, should be our
guide. To use an old simile the goose
that lays the golden egg must be tax
en- good care of. Let us take the adj
vice of gentleman, who in the heat
of public speech, recently delivered
in this city, admonished us not Ito
milk" the golden goose to death.

And Save Endless Suf-

The most offensive of all dis
eases becomes more intense as cold
weather approaches. In fact,
many who have been under treat
ment for SO long, and during the
summer feel little discomfort from
the disease, are almost persuaded
that they have been cured. But
the first chilling blast of winter
proves that the disease is still with
them, and as the winter advances,
their. iCatarrh grows in severity.
Those who have felt only slight
touch Of Catarrh may be sure that
only cold weather is needed to de-
velop the disease. What appears
to be only a bad cold will prove
more difficult to cure than for
merly, and will return with more
frequency, until before long the
disease is fully developed.

Those who get start on the dis

able weather aggravates it, will
find a cure less difficult. Catarrh
increases in severity year by year,
and becomes one Of the most OBJ

But it is equally important that
the right remedy be given. All
local applications of sprays,

merrimac nero,s Kisses.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2o.--Osborne w.
Deignan, one of the Merrimac heroes,
returned to the Brooklyn Navy Yard
TODAY from his home in Stuart, Ia,
where, at a reception in his honor, he
was kissed by all the pretty girls OF
the village. He reported for duty
aboard the auxiliary cruiser, Resolute,
Captain Eaton. He brought with him
the elegant sword that was presented
to him by the citizens of Stuart. 1t
is the nandsomest that can be carried
by a man Of his rank.
The shipmates Of young Deignan
are proud of him, but they had good
deal of sport with him over the kiss
ing episode. Deignan took their gibes
good naturedly.
Il did not intend to say anything
about it, he explained to them, but
now that it's out, there's no use de
nying it. There must have been
about 200 of them. 1t was a lot OF
fun, especially when the real pretty
ones did the kissing, but well, I'll
leave out the butts; l would not mind
taking the same medicine every day
in the week. You don't mind little
bitter with lot of sweet. 1t beats
fighting all hollow"

has never been known a case of San

they are using this method with much
satisfaction, and it enables them to

"The most savage and horrible of all
the barbarous customs OF the Ashantes
in Africa" said Prof. w. g. Steadman'
Of Washington, to a st. Louis Globe.
Democrat man, "is that Of celebrating
The death OF king or q great noble by
sacrifice OF other lives; indeed, almost
al OF theiF anniversary rites are at
tended by a holocaust of human be-
ings. They believe that when a KING
or noble dies he must have wives and
slaves IN the next world, just as he had
in this, and in order that these NAV not
be wanting the simple expedient is re-
sorted to OF killing his wives and
slaves and sending them after him.
Rude and bloody ceremonies mark the
Practice OF this custom, which are con-

MORE ALASKA EXPER.

Alaska, writes his brother
from Skaguay under date
of Feb. 6, from which we
are permitted to quote as fol-
lows:
Skaguay, Alaska, Feb. 6, '98.
DEAR BROTHER: - There
is good deal of sickness here,
and four men have died in the
last "a hours, and three men
were shot and killed last week
This is a sure hot town. 1t is
made up of gamblers and fast
women. There are lots of
broke men in town, and some
one is held up nearly every
night. When a man comes
here thinking he can find
money lying in the street, he
will get badly disappointed.
If man gets anything here
he will earn it.
| made one trip over to
Lake Bennett. ! took 400
pounds over and got IS cents
per pound. II is a hard old
trip. There were three men
got their feet frozen at the
time went over, and two Of
them had their feet taken off.
A man is taking great chances
going over there at this time
of year. think am as close
to klondyke now as will get.
There are too many broke
men coming out of there to
suit me. There are men COM
ing ovt of there every day
dead broke, and that is not a
very good sign for a place.
Me and a man by the name of
Hurst bought two lots the
other day; we gave $25 for
one, and $40 for the other.
If the town keeps on booming
we will make something out Of
them. There are lots FIVE
blocks from us that sold for
1900, SO we ought to make
something out of them. If
you will take my advice you
will stay away from here.
This is no place for man un
less he has got money. The
town is dull. | don't think it
will pay to stay here more
than two months longer, unless
things take a change. | have
not heard from any one at
home for long time. 1t is
three weeks since there was
a mail in from the outside.
The Colona sunk on her last
trip up and the mail was taken
back.
When | was over to the
lakes | drank water out of the
Yukon river but did not see
any nuggets. \ 1t
has been blowing three weeks
steady and the thermometer
stands at to s below zero
all the time.
