One case among many thousands is
thus described by Mr.. f. X. Chatel,
of Manchester. n. H:
my daughter, Miss Amelia, was very
much troubled with irregular and alb
normal menstruation. She suffered
very much. Having heard Of DR..
Greene's Nervnra blood and nerve
remedy, she was induced to t.y it.
She took three or four bottles, and
the benefit she derived was of a fat
tering nature. | WOULD cheerfully rec
ommend Dr. Greene's Nervura blood
and nerve remedy to anyone afflicted
as was my daughter.
Besides the diseases and derange-
ments peculiar to women, nervousness
is the cause of many complaints COM
mon to both sexes and all ages. DR..
Greene's Nervura is the standard rem
edy for all affections Of the blood
and nerves. Under its magic influence
physical and mental health are
promptly and permanently restored,
and life again becomes worth living.
You should prepare your system for
the trying spring months by using DR..
Greene's Nervura now.
Dr. Greene welcomes consultations
personally or by letter at his Office,

sultation and advice free.

prairie FIRE moves faster than any horse
can run. No matter how speedy your
mount may be unless you have good start
of the FIRE it will overtake YOU. 1t is the
same way with many diseases. Unless you
get fair start YOU cannot possibly shake
them off. The only hope for anyone who
is threatened with serious disease is to
start in time, and seek safety before the
danger closes in about him.
The best thing for you. If you feel that
your full bodily energy is lacking, is to
seek the strengthening, power producing
help of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
coverv which confers upon the digestive
organs that keen zest of appetite and as
sanitation which transforms the food into
nourishing, health building blood, active
muscular force nervous energy and rug
ged endurance.
Do not wait until dyspepsia spreads into
oliver complaint F." and that turns into
bronchial trouble which finally verges into
consumption. Do not rely upon the delu-
.ive stimulus of malt extracts and sarsapa
fillas and oily compounds; do not allow a
designing druggist who seeks only his own
profit rather than your health to foist any
"boom " medicine upon you. Insist upon
the remedy which is backed by thirty years
OF steadily increasing sales TO attest its
constant usefulness and popularity

DR.. Greane's Nervura Cures Dis

the Cause-Cordial Words From
Thankful People Who Have Been
Restored to Health.

American women have more than
their share of the burdens and troubles
of life Household anxieties and social
responsibilities are a constant strain
upon the nerves and weaken and de-
range the delicate female organism
Women who work in stores and fac
tories are peculiarly susceptible to
nervous affections. The complaints
which afflict majority of American
women, and sadden their lives, are
mostly Of nervous origin, or because
of poor blood, and may be quickly
and permanently cured by the proper
medicine

AGAINST BONDS.
A Marshall County Correspondent Who
Opposes tho Proposition to Bond the

A Marshall County Correspondent who
Opposes tho Proposition to Bond the
County.
To the Editor of the Register.
Rosby's Rock, w. Va, February II.
will you please allow space in your
valuable paper for a few remarks in
answer to an editorial in the Mounds
vile Echo of February 10th? 1t says
few people say they will not vote
for the railroad bonds to have their
taxes increased etc. We wish to
criticise this by saying that many
people in Marshall county will not
vote for the bonds because they have
figured on the matter and they figure
the county considerably in the hole,
and after figuring to our satisfaction
that it will very materially increase
our taxes, we are opposed to the
scheme on general principles. and we
ask the people of Marshall county,
Where and when will the increase in
our Indebtedness end? Already the
matter is followed up for one hundred
thousand dollars county road bonds
and as the railroad bonds will not
cost the county penny, as the Echo
says. why not vote for hundred thou
sand for railroad down Fish Greek
and hundred thousand for a railroad
down Wheeling Creek. and hundred
thousand dollars TO encourage oil de-
velopments. and a hundred thousand
to encourage the gold field industry
in the new klondike in Meade district?
or any other enterprise that man can
think of? Ii will also come back in
taxes and increased value Of property.
And if this railroad is figured out TO be
such a great investment. why does the
railroad company ask Marshall county
to take stock? Or. if there are people
ready to buy Marshall county bonds.
why do they not take the railroad
stock and leave Marshall county out
of the deal? And we further ask,
Where is the taxpayer in Marshall
county who is ready to place mort
gage on his property to raise money
TO take stock in the proposed railroad?
We doubt if one could be found; yet
the proposed bond issue i nothing
more nor less than a MORTGAGE on the
people of Marshall county. We don't
wish to be understood as being OPP
posed to railroads. or any other enter
prise, but we are unalterably opposed
TO Marshall county going into the rail-
road business MANY VOTERS.

on account of so much freight being
handled. The reduction will only last
a short time however, and the men
can stand the cut very well.

DENOUNCED ST. JOHN.
The Prohibition Champion Called on to De
fend His Action in Olathe

fend His Action in Olathe.
Olathe, Kan, February 14.-At a
mass meeting Of his fellow citizens held
in this city, John P. st. John, the ez-
Prohibition Governor, was roundly de-
nounced for signing a whisky petition.
Gov. st. John attempted to defend him
self, but was questioned so sharply
that he was compelled to retreat I'M
der fire. The demonstration which
followed was one of the liveliest ever
witness in Olathe, the center ten
years ago Of the original package ex,
element.
Three local druggists had fled
petitions with the probate judge asking
for permission to sell liquor The Law
requires the signatures of IS men anG
like number of women of the wa,l
in which the drug store is to locate
One of the druggists secured ex-Gov
st. John to sign his petition.
This stirred up the W. c. I. u, and
mass meeting was called The
church was crowded. Senator Parker,
the first speaker. called upon st. John
to explain why he-so prominent and
able leader and temperance advocate
had, after so many years Of prohi-
bition in the city, signed the first petit
ton to permit the selling of whisky.
Mr.. ST. Johns explanation was that
he wanted liquor sold legally by the
druggists. In an instant the house
was in an uproar and heated questions
We're thrust at the prohibition cham
pion from every quarter of the house.
The questions finally came so thick
and fast that no answers could be
given and the Ex-Governor retired.
Judge Hindman delivered heated
speech declaring that upon such ques-
tions the w. c. t. U. had always been
right and at this time he would fol-
low under their wise leadership in
stead of following the ''ineXcusable
course" Of st. John. At this utter
ance a storm of applause broke forth.
Others could not wait, but arose and
emphatically protested against the &C
ton Of St. John, two or three trying
to be heard at once.

Although the grand union meeting
Of all railroad employees will not be

city is making preparations to have
the affair take place here. Grafton,
Cumberland and Pittsburg are all al
ter the meeting but if Wheeling can
do her share it is even money that she
will get the meeting. The object of
pertaining to the railroad, and it is
expected that fully 1900 people will
attend. Wheeling, as most everybody
knows, has better facilities for hand
ling so large number of people, and
the city is the most central city in the
district Of the organizations. 1t is
proposed that only the State of Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Maryland and West Viz
Sinla Will be represented, and such
being the case it will be a very hard
matter 10 down Wheeling, In the cit
les Of Grafton and Cumberland there
are no halls large enough to accommo-
date such number of people, and the
railroad men should consider this be-
fore they vote. In the past this city
has had many large meetings, and
annie accom- m ndafipnc hava hea, co
cured for everybody. This meeting
will be one of the largest ever held
pertaining to railroad organizations,
and for that reason the representatives
must have the best Of everything that
is in sight Wheeling was also the
first city talked of for holding the

towns were suggested. The represent

are fully up to the times, however,
and they are doing some tall hustling
in the right direction, and if they don't
succeed in getting the meeting it will
be a strange thing indeed.

POpulist State Chairman Tay-
lOr Riddle Says
John Madden's Action Almost
Unprecedented in Politics.
SHOULD BE GRATEFUL
Fusion Forces Have Reason to
Remember Madden.
Says Martin, the Democrat, is
Practically a Populist.

Taylor Riddle, chairman of the Pop
ulist state central committee, has given
out a prepared interview praising John
Madden for his action at the Emporia
convention, and predicting complete
fusion and the election of the state
ticket as a result of the Democrats Sc
curing the Fourth district congressman.
The interview is as follows:
'The action taken at the Fourth dis
trict congressional convention Of the
Popu1ist party is one in which great
results were accomplished. The action
of the Hon. John Madden in sacrificing
the ambitions of a life time that har-
mony might prevail in the allied forces,
and thereby assuring the election Of
our state ticket, together with the con-
greSSiOnal delegation, and member OF
the supreme court, Is so rare in politics
that it deserves the commentator of
every member of the allied forces. I'm
selfish actions like this coming from a.
man who has always stood in the front
ranks of tho PopultSt party and enjoy
ed it's confidence to a greater extent
than falls to the lot of most men, is to
be commended. Madden held the key
to the situation. It was through his ef-
forts that our Democratic allies were
recognized on the congressional delega-
ton and Mr.. Martin endorsed. Without
his efforts it could not have been done;
without the support of his magnetic
presefce no other power could have
been exercised to have brought about
the results.
This action at ETnporia inSures CO.
operation of the allied forces in every
department and the triumphant cleo
ton of the entire state ticket, and sew
en- out Of the eight congressman and a
member of the supreme court.
Mr.. Martin, the nominee Of the al
lied forces in the Fourth congressional
district, though a Democrat, was pro-
nounced Greenbacker, in fact, believing
that the true solution of the money
question was scientific money and not
metal money with intrinsic value. He
has always been opposed to banks Of
issue; always believed that one dollar
issued by the government should be
just as good as any other dollar issued
by the government; should discharge
all obligations alike, either to the gov
pie who took it. In congress he will
stand for everything a Populist would
stand for. His speeches in the cam
paign of 1896 were so strongly Populis-
tic that Grover Cleveland's adminfstra-
would come off. His recent utterances
and the platform on which he accept
ed the nomination from the Democratic
party, and the speech of acceptance at
that time, certainly would satisfy any
Populist in Kansas that he was with
them practically on every proposition
that they stood for.
Governor Leedy will be renomina-
ted That is conceded now by even the
few opponents that he had in his own
party

JAPAN'S GAIN.
Commerce With America Leads All
Other Nations.

Washington, May 19.-The commerce.
of the United States with Japan has
grown more rapidly during the last
year than of any other nation. The
annual returns of the foreign trade OF
the empire of Japan just received by
the bureau of statistics show that the
imports into Japan from the United
States increased from 1878, 419 yen in
1896 to 27,0SO,5 37 yen in 1897, while her
exports to the United States increased
from 31,532, 341 yen in 1895 to 81. 4S6. 4O4
yen in 1897 Only three countries. viz:
Great Britain, China and British India
made as large sales to Jatan as did the
United States in 1897 and in no case
was the increase in imports as large
from the United States.
The gain which the United States has
made over parts of the world in supply
ing Japan with her imports is shown by
the fact that the imports from the Unit
ed States increased IS per cent in 1897
over 1896, while in total imports from al
parts of the world the increase of 1897
over 1896 was only % per cent. The
gain of Great Britain, our chief COM
petitor was only about 10 per cent. The
rapid development of Japan's foreign
commerce is shown by the fact that her
exports in 1887 increased % per cent.

NO CALL LIKELY.
Volunteers Will Be Equipped Before
Others are Needed.

Washington, May 19-There is talk at
the war department of the possibility Of
an issue by the president of another call
for volunteers, but careful inquiry tends
to warrant the statement that this is at
least premature, and that no further call
is likely to issue until the aggregate num-
Der of soldiers already called for have re-
sponded and have been duly equipped for
service. This last matter, the equipment
of the new troops, is the main source of
delay, and promises to become even worse
in the near future.
