Our o. &C.

Our outgoing congressman spoke
what he intended for a republican
"speak" at the court house on last
Friday night. Our republican
brethren didn't hire hall, al
though it had been advertised for
several days in the shop windows
They opened the old dirty court
house and turned him in and then
languidly followed. We democrats
will not treat our congressman that
way.
But the old court house was tree
and they let him went.
Candidate Burgess, who gener-
ously blew a horn for Mr.. Blair,
also blew one for himself and the
congressman. His speak" the
boys say, was better than the speak
of the congressman.
The congressman is a good fel-
low with troubles of his own. A
mans worst foes are often they OF
his own household. He is game,
the congressman IS; nobody can
deny that. He defes his enemies.
Our reporter says that he even de-
fes the English language. But
Our reporter may be prejudiced.
The congressman has an imita'
ton of Golf, which he renders with
feeble success. He endeavors to
start his own applause by desk
pounding and hand.clapping. And
this reminds us that an old court
house is reminiscent of COTS elo-
quent, Aorid, impassioned oratory.
This was bad for the effort of the
congressman. 1t resulted in a damp
atmosphere worse than frost. 9th
erWise it wasn't a bad Speak for
the congressman ''considerin' "
The congressman wants to be re-
turned because he says he is now
faithful and well l.trained public ser
want. We do not believe that Nc
Kinley would swear to that. When
some of the important war meas
ures of the administration were be-
ing considered we are informed by
the records that the congressman
wasn't there.
Aided by the congressman the
little boys ran the applause tor a

nickel, and the old amen republir
cans shouted a perfunctory shout
from force of habit.
But it wasn't on account OF the
congressman; don't think for "a
minute. 1t was for the G. O. P.,.
the "Get Our Postmasters" party.
The congressman made promises
which it would take whole term
to break, but he wouldn't have to.
break them.
He persuaded US that we were.
all rich and prosperous and happy
on account of what he and McKin-
ley had done.
He damned the Ohio river to all
intents and purposes, not profanely
but with the same effect. Finally
he quit. Cheers were proposed for
the congressman which failed, and
then some one shonted hurrah for
the American flag and the applause
came on time. Then the band
played Dixie. The congressman's
name on the 9Th of November will
be Dough.venor, Then it viii be
changed to Dennis.-Bob Me-. In

According to a celebrated anato-
mist there are upwards of 5000, 900
little glands in the human stomach.
These glands pour out the digestive
juices which dissolve or digest the
food. Indigestion is want Of juice,
weakness of glands, need of help to
restore the health of these organs.
The best and most natural help is
that given by Shaker Digestive
Cordial. Natural, because it sup
plies the materials needed by the
glands to prepair the digestive
juices. Because it strengthens and
invigorates the glands and stomach
until they are able to do their work
alone. Shaker Digestive Cordial
cures indigestion certainly and per.
mantly. 1t doee so by natural
means, and therein lies the secret

sIsTERs1LLE TYLER COUNTY WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 1898

| Charley is still as strong as ever
hin the democratic faith and says
fee silver is sure to win in 1900,
and that Jack" Blair will run away
ahead of his ticket for Congress in
Doddridge. Mr.. Stewart is a well
| Informed man on all the general
topics of the day; especially with
reference to politics is this true.
Hence, his prophecy is very encour-
aging to the average democrat.
We were not impressed with the
portion of IDoddlidge we passed
through. Like Wetzel, it is very
rough. The soil looked poor and
the farms presented neglected
appearance.
We interviewed many prominent
men on our way through Tyler in
Iregard tolthe license question, and
find that at least two-thirds are 60
ing to vote for the commissioner
who is in favor Of granting license.
Many of whom We talked to are
temperate, but they have arrived at
| the conclusion that the sale OF III
Etoxicants can not be prohibited in
Tyler county, and tor that reason it
lis far better to grant license and let
the county reap the revenue. They
are in favor of making each saloon
Imam give good bond, and also pay
a good round sum for his license.
We think this is sensible view
of the matter, and one that every
voter should consider we'll on the
day of the election. In converse
| ton with a minister, who resides on
Elk Fork, he expressed himself
openly as being in favor OF granting
| license. He said he"was a prohl
Ebition man, but rather than tolerate
the low speakeasy dogeries any
Elonger, he would vote for the COM
missioner who was in favor of IL
cense, regardless of politics. There
are low dives operating IN the
county now that will be obliged to
close in case license is granted, for
the reason they cannot give the
bond.
| We met Mr.. Furgus Whayley out
lin Tyler county, who was soliciting
orders for his firm. Mr.. Whayley
lis travelling for the Columbus Boot
and Shoe company. Mr.. w. is one
of the most popular salesmen that
visits Tyler, and by his courteous
manners has built up an immense
trade in this and adjoining counties
for his firm. Mr.. Whayley resides
in Wheeling and for many years
travelled for Boyd, Miller & Co., of
that city. He has been speculating
in oil territory for the past FIVE or
six years and has been quite fortu-
nate. Only very recently he dis
posed of an interest in some terri
tory on Elk Fork which he held, to
R. Mccormick, Of your city, at a
profit of s., 900. He still holds some
valuable leases in Tyler, and Mon
roe county, Ohio.

GENERAL KINSLEY
Called Upon to Do Some Plain
Talking TO a
CAPTAIN OF THE GUARD
: Captain West Disgraced in the
Eyes of His Fellows.

Captain William L. West, OF
New Matamoras, the commanding
officer of Company E, Seventh 0.
". l., paid visit to Adjutant Cen
eral KingsleyFriday afternoon, and
will have occasion to remember
that visit for some time, as he was
forcibly called down by that official.
1t seems that the captain has not
reported in strict confidence with
the law as to state property which
has been lost, and Adjutant General
Kingsley desires to get this matter
settled up as quickly as possible,
so that the state can get final set
tlement from federal government
and be fully reimbursed for all
losses.
Captain West furnished mem
oranda of the losses, but the law
provides for sworn statement, as
the adjutant general is accountable
to the governor for the property.
The captain said it was impossible
to prevent the loss of clothing in
the Guard. The adjutant general
said he knew differently.
S The captain was mad and did
not seem to care who &ncw it, and
proceeded to inform the adjutant
general that he had been in the
Guard for fifteen years and said he
knew what he was talking about,
but was informed in turn by the
adjutant general that he had been
in the Guard for 20 years and knew
that it was impossible to prevent
losses in some cases. The captain
made statement which seemed to
reflect on all of the officers of the
Guard and was informed that he
made a serious mistake when he
brought all of the officers to his
level.
The Seventh never got any farth-
er than Camp Alger, but Captain
West said General Kingsley had
never seen any actual service, and
therefore did not know under what
difficulties the officers labored in
keeping track of the estate proper
ty. After the captain became some
what personal, General Kingsley
said: "You are talking now to an
officer of the state about matter
of business. That is the only mat
ter 1 would talk to you about. Let
that be distinctly understood. And
while I am talking to you, will
keep strictly within the rules and
regulations. When I talk to you
personally it will be in a very diff
ferent manner"
After some argument Captain
West agreed to make his report
complete and either account for the
lost stuff or pay for it, as all other
army officers have done.-Ohio

FOUR MURDERERS
And Several Thieves Taken 10 Mounds
vile This Afternoon.

And Several Thieves Taken 10 MOunOs'
vile This Afternoon.
There was one OF the toughest
looking lot Of criminals, ranging
from murderers to sneak thieves,
passed through the city this after
noon on their way to the peniten
tiary at Moundsville, from Mingo
county, in charge of Sheriff Keadle
and seven deputies. They were
William Hooper, Thomas Parnell,
John Hicks and Bud Wantz for
murder; the first three for ten years
and the last man for five. John
Thompson two years, for stealing
cattle; John Meade, two years for
house breaking, and Doc Radclif,
one year for stealing cattle.
The three men who get ten
years each tor murder are negros
and they are about the worst look
ing crowd ever seen in this part of
the country.
In the same car were the three
men Captain Jim Meighen had ar
rested and was taking to New Mar
tinsville, and the whole gang were
a sorry looking crowd.

Financial

New York, July 30.-The fnancier says The statement of the associated banks of New York city for the week ending July 30 shows no changes The increase of S1 S20, 800 in loans is overshadowed by the expansion of something like two and a half millions in this item, reported by one bank. In the same manner one banks decrease in cash was twice as large as the average of the remaining institutions. Deposits re- mained almost stationary. hut there las been more or less shifting of funds and thi banks seem to have gained as a rule. The reduction in surplus reserve was brought about by actual loss in cash as the 20 per cent. requirement. is very little higher than last week. owing to the insignificant de- posit expansion. The specie decrease was due to operations with the treasury but the transpers of coin to the sub treasury on July 23, aggregated nearly $S,0O0 900 seem to have been included inlast weeks state ment. The government bond payments have been more than half completed and the only effect so far has been to reduce the reserve of the New York banks about s20, ,000 00O. Tn remaining payments will have but little effect since the treasury de- ficits will about counter-balance receipts and the money in depository banks will be withdrawn gradually.
 The reserve, therefore, ought not to be affected much by subsequent operations. On the other hand the season of re-dis- counts is at hand, but estimates of the amount of money which will be drawn
