But, ah, let me draw veil Ger it all J!
Why should recall the bliss of those few
days together-togethcr on the pier, to-
gether in tho happy valley, together
laughing ut the niggers, together scaling
the slopes of the Great OrIuc? Why, in
deed, when the recollection is but pain,
and pain how lacerating, how torturing!
l was i'll love, and madly in love, and
happy to be in love when 1 was with her.
But when l was calmcr and she was alb

fed to the uttermost end of the earth with
very wrath, with very shame. l felt

cause it seemed to me l was not altogether
objectionable TO her, and that I was be-
coming less and less SO each time we met.
My passion, however, only boiled within
me. l took care of that. let il have no
tongue.
Her husband was away longer than she
had anticipated, but he returned'one after
noon quite Unexpectedly. He jumped out
of Il brougham which had brought him
from the station just as she and l were
entering the hotel. The heel of one of her
shoes had come off, and l had been com
pclletS-upon what delicious compulsion-
to give her my arm. He scowlcd at me
uHlhlN It's ne eS)ltu us, dlu HcE slIllc wan

single snappish word and went off to his
room, not vouchsaflng to be introduced.
That look of his pursued Inc. l could
not dismiss it from my minds eye. 1t
served only too we'll to call me to my right
senses l saw the quagmire was step

court and scandal and misery ahead.

The Ruined California Grape Crop. !


The partial loss to the grape crop
this year caused by heavy rains IS
estimated to exceed $I,ooo,ooo.
Farmers and vineyards all over the
northern part of the State have
suffered, and shipments of fruit the
East are proportsonaly small. AT
least one quarter of the crop is lost.
While this is true. it is equity fact
that lost and failing gtrengrh may
be restored to the weak nervous by
the persistent, systimatic use of the
great national tonic, Hostetters
Stomach Bltters, which renews the
tone and harmonious activity OF the
stomach, liver and the bowels, coun-
teracts a tendency to rheumatism
tud kidney complaint, and prevents
malaria disorders. Convalescence,
after exhausting diseases have run,
their course, is often timeous and
tedious. Recovery is greatley &C
celebrated by the use Of the Bitters,
which improves appetite and i'm
parts renewed vigor to debiliate
physique A wineglassful before
meals creates hearty zest for food.

THE CIRCUIT COURT.
Will Meet at Middlebourne
Next Tuesday.
Prosecuting Attorney James HI. Strick-
ling Accused of Various Things That
Are Beneath the Dignity ofan officer
Hon. JnO. A. Howard Of wheeling,
Will Conduct the Case for the Prose
cUti0n. -

A climax has been reached in the
liquor controversy. Judge Freer
has called special session of the
circuit court for next Tuesday,
when the charges that have been
made against Prosecuting Attorney
Strickling will be thoroughly in
vestigated. Hon. Jno. A. Howard,
one of the states most promi-
nent attorneys will conduct
the prosecution. There are sew
eral charges other than bribery
that will be brought before the in
vestigation committee. There is
imminent danger of the prosecuting
attorney losing his Office, and al
most everybody concede that be
will be ousted. Through lack of
judgment in dealing with the speak
easies and greed are two prime fac
tors that are responsible for his
present difficulties. Instead of TAX
ing a half loaf he wanted loaf and
a half.
A prominent attorney of Middle
bourne stated to the Review last
night that after Strickling was
elected to office he had talked with
him concerning the speakeasy
situation, telling him that he
should deal with the whiskey
men through their attorney only.
AS matter of fact the different at
torneys who would act for them
would expect to be compensated
for their labors. The prosecuting
attorney decided that instead Of al
lowing his brother attornies any
fees he would act directly with the
whiskey men and save their fees
for himself. AS was given in the
Review several days since, he made
the promise to Robert Clendenning
that for the consideration of 500
per month he would be instrument
tai in keeping Clendenning OUT of
Jail. After a short time Clenden-
ming was arrested, fined and a Jail
sentence of 90 days imposed upon
him. This kind of treatment was
unbearable and he (Clendenning)
squealed.
Then acting Upon the suggestion
of his advisor he treated the pro-
tests of Clendenning, his victim,
lightly, who exposed him.
AS far as can be ascertained the
friends of Strickling intend to keep
him in office by preying upom the
religious feelings and prejudices of
the people. 1t remains to be seen
whether they are successful in this
direction or not.
Since his first injunctions were
dissolved against the saloons here
the prosecuting attorney has been
busily engaged drafting new bills.
He completed them yesterday and
passed through the city late last
evening for Harrisville to have 9th
er iniunctions issued.

POTENT FACTS.
That the Reader Will Do Well
to Carefully Ponder Over.

1t was kept secret for years in
a good, old Quaker family. The
neighbors all knew about it,
and many a time had reason to be
thankful for its existence. It's fame
spread and strangers who heard
about it wrote for information con-
corning it, sometimes tried its vir-
tues and sometimes put off a trial
tor a more convenient time. To tell
how it was dragged from an OBJ
scure country village and placed
before the general public, would be
interesting reading, but lack of
space compels us to with hold the
particulars.
1t is sufficient to know that over
year ago it went to every city and
town in the North, unpretentious
and unassuming. 1t said: 81 can
do certain things; investigate my
claims; try me if you have back
ache or kidney ache, and YOU
will not be disappointed. The
above is certainly a fragment
from the history of Doan's Kidney
Pills, preparation which came to
Sistersville as we'll as to Martins
Ferry to stay. One of Martins
Ferry's representative citizens, who
helped to push the work along is
Mr.. A. P. Dinsmore. That gentle
man says:
Mr.. A. P. Dinsmore, general gro
Ger, corner Main street and Lincoln
Avenue, says II have been troub-
led for a long time with my kid
neys, but the last year has been
much worse, and at times it was
positively painful for me to get
around and do my every day work
in the shop. l had constant dull
aching pain across my loins, that
felt as though 1 had been pounded
all over. There was also a heavy
bearing down pain through the
bladder. I did not rest we'll at
night, and in the morning when l
would get up, I felt tired and Ian
guild, even more so than when =
went to bed I had tried different
remedies, but without success,
until I got and tried a box
of Doan's Kidney Pills at a drug
store in Bridgeport. They helped
me right away, and in very short
time all the trouble disappeared,
and I have not had it since. My
wife used Doan's Kidney Pills also,
being ubled almost as much as
l was, and she obtained the same
result. Perfect relief and exemp-
ton from pain. I can honestly
recommend Doan's Kidney Pills, as
the best Kidney remedy I ever met
with.
Just such emphatic endorsement
can be had right nere. Drop into
the drug store of c. J. Biggs,
and ask what his customers report.

Special to the Review.


Bridgeport. o.. Feb. II.-Burg-
lars and confidence men are again
at work on this side of the river
among the ignorant Poles and Huns
employed in the various mining
companies. Several days since the
Review noted the fact that some
thing like $1,000 had been taken
from the foreigners at Long Run
mines, who operated as green goods
men and confidence steerers gener-
ally. Wednesday night a Hungar-
ian boarding house back of town
was broken open and about $Iso.
the savings of number of the in
mates of the house, was taken.
There seems to be a general eff
fort on the part of a ring of un-
known thieves to rob the foreign
element. A few days ago at BEN
wood man was robbed of quite a
sum of money, and later at the
Poles big dance in that town some
stranger palmed off a very mean
looking counterfeit S. bill. The
various cases are in the hands ofthe
authorities, but with such a meager
supply of information and clues, it
is Tot likely that the guilty parties
will eve. be captured.
