WESTON, w Va, Oct 1S.-Despite
the fact that 1t rained continuously and
hard al morning here, the big Elkins-

large audience, and the interest mani
tested was better than expected The
crowd tar surpassed In numbers that Of
the Democrats on Saturday, and the
enthusiasm ran high. Senator Elldns'

approving applause.

When Confronted with a gaTbied ex-
tract from q former speech OF his,
wherein he spoke faVorably OF silver as
money, he reasBerted 1t all, and declared
the Republicans were the real friends
OF silver, because they wanted every
silver dollar to be as good as gold. he
denounced a story circulated by ]. Hop

held Virginia debt certificates as false,

by admission that It was borrowed from

loud cheering and repeated cries OF

Captain Dovener's address was most
happy effort. His brief discussion Of
the tariff and silver questions was well
received, and his statement Of the waS
with Spain was truly a gem Of oratory.
His address was pronounced by many
to be the best he ever made here. AS iS

for questions to be propounded. but out

The above frank statement was dc
tated by Mr. Meyers late tonight No
cause Is assigned, but the reason for
the failure at this time, Of what has
for years been generally considered as
one Of the strongest financial inSdtu-
.ions in the state, Is conceded to be the
assignment Of the Allegheny tanning
firm Of A. GroetZlnger & Sons. The dl-
rectors Of the bank have prepared this
announcement OF tho banks failure:
"At a meeting Of the board Of directors
held at the bank this day, at 8 p. nA'
the following resolution was adopted:
Resolved, that nfter q thorough eX-
animation by the bank examiner, clear
Ing house committee and directors OF
the bank, oil being unanimous in tho
opinion that the bank Is solvent, that
owing 10 the fact that portion OF the
assets are not Immediately available;
that under the advice Of all 1t seems
best TO close tho bank for the equal pro-
lection OF AL the dcpOsItors and go into
voluntary liquidation, and the fun as
surance that at an early date will be
able to pay nil hs dcposltOrs in full,
therefore the bank is closed, and the de
rectors hereby recommend as iiQulda-
ton committee Il, II. Meyers, II. IL, Me-
mann and A. Franenhelm."
The connection between the Groetz-
ingers and tho German NGtional Bank
was very close. the FIRMS paper not
only being discounted at the bank nam
cd. but Mr.. Adolphus Grootzlnger hOv-
ing been director In tho bank, and un-
~ recently It's president. Several days
ago he resigned as president, being sue
ceeded by y, II. Meyer8 who was thon
vice president, the new vice president
being Mr. A. Francnhcim.

iy treatment of the period. Each one has
gladly and enthusiastically paid high trib-
ute to the charm and fascination of the
romance. The individuality and force of
the characters have made an impression
upon the minds of readers that seems un-
usually powerful and potent, while the
phrasal power and stately, winning style
of the young authorizes make her work
peculiarly acceptable.
While 1t Is true that everyone seems
charmed with the force and power of the
book, 1t In equally true that each and every
reader is saddened and disappointed by the
ending of the book Those who have read
the story will readily appreciate the diff
ficulties which confronted the authoress
when the closing scenes were reached. One
truly feels that the power to work out any
individual preference or wish was at this
point lost to the author Through the en-
tire work Godwyn had been so persistently
and relentlessly pursued by a fate which
was the result of combination of circum-
stances that his position became hopeless
and there appeared nothing which could
dispel the fatality which hung above him

heartily that she didn't, until 1t looked as

ions brought forward. One lady reader,
who is respected in the community for her

Holiday Dangers.
Christmas and New Years bring their
joys long anticipated and heartily en-
joyed. But the pleasure of holidays Is
not entirely unalloyed. The big din
ners, the nuts and candies, the thousand
and one delicacies and rich viands that
tempt the palate and seduce the appe-
tite, are too well known to need men-
ton.
All this leads to deranged stomachs.
Catarrh of the stomach is the immediate
result. Gastric catarrh, the doctors call
1t. One or two doses of Pe-ru-na at the
time prevent q long siege with catarrh
of the stomach generally called dys-
pepsia). What the doctors call dyspep-
STA, and the people call indigestion, Is in
reality catarrh of the stomach.
Holiday over-eating is not entirely
confined to the children, either. The
old folks sometimes do so, too. Whole
families often suffer together. Catarrh
of the stomach. That is the correct
name for it.
Right here Pe-ru-na, the friend of the
family, comes to the rescue. Pe-ru-na
cures catarrh wherever located. If the
catarrh is in the stomach, it cures it. 1t
cures catarrh on Christmas or New
Years, or any other time Of the year. 1t
cures the catarrh of over-eating or the
catarrh of undressing. 1t cures the
catarrh of long standing and the catsrrh
of recent origin. No family ID exactly

Few people are entirely free from
nasal catarrh. When the catarrh is
slight, and is confined to the nose, very
little harm is done, but the trouble with
these cases is that they are almost sure
to grow worse and the catarrh spread to
other parts. Be sure to take q course OF

to do 1t, and he said, I'm going to burn 1t
out" Then the bankers remembered what
the agent with the protector had said and
anxlously awaited the outcome. But 1t took
some time to get ready. All the old boxes
had to be removed, and then the Devere
Electric company was called in. They tap
ped one of the arc light4e wires and ran
it through several meters into the bank
building. There connection was made with
q fine one-inch copper wire. To this was at
tached a rubber handled tool, through
which the wire was run, leaving just
enough of the wire protruding to make
connection with long stick of carbon such
as are used in arc lamps. This carbon was
stuck into the end of the rubber handled
tool and held safe by two strong screws
The making of connections and other
things was done by Luke Lilley of the De-
we're company, and yesterday he announced
that he was ready to begin work. That is
he was ready to experiment, as the business
was all to him, but he was ready to
try. The word was passed along the line,
and at o'clock the old Lafayette bank was
we'll filled with bankers.
When the signal was given a young man
wearing heavy goggles stepped up, and took
hold of the rubber-handled tool The
switch was turned, and the carbon was like
the end of a red-hot poker in an instant.
To the bankers and every one standing
about the red-hot carbon did not look like
it had any business with the huge steel box.
But they were soon convinced. The young
was about to apply it when it was
found that the ground wires had not been
connected. This was but the work of an
instant, and then the young man stuck the
red-hot carbon against the steel. There
was flash like the burning of a powerful
arc light, which was followed by Kissing
noise and the falling of melted steel that
spluttered and cracked as 1t struck the cold
floor. The bank presidents began to shake
their heads, and then the young man with
drew the carbon. There was hole big
as two silver dollars and a half inch deep.
1t had been burned in the hard steel in
less than n minute. But the young man at
the carbon said that the tool was not work.
ing right The current, which was fifty
volts, too strong and was not pene-
trating enough. But he would go ahead
with 1t. He showed the carbon back in
the hole, and in very few minutes he
had hole burned through the steel plate.
1t was done SO quickly and cleanly that
there was not banker in the room that
was not convinced that any burglar with
the same tool could enter any safe in no
time. The experiment was grand Sue
cess. and will, be perfected today by the
placing of recoil wire in the tool. This
will make the heat more penetrating and
the young man with the goggles expects to
go ahead cutting out the steel like he
would cut cheese with hot knife.
