0, YE, OF LITTLE FAITH.

But when an honest man siXty-fve
years of age and who has lived in our
city for thirty years, and owns his OWN
property speaks, we must give ear to his
words and have faith in what he recon-
mends. For thai reason we publish the
statement of A. H. West, 211 North street,
Saginaw, Mich, for the benefit of Wheel
ing people, as follows: Il have suffered
much from kidney trouble for the past
five years. My back was very lame; was
quite nervous at times and my general
health was seriously impaired. Some
time ago 1 was induced to try Morrow's
Kid-ne-oids of which I had heard a great
deal, and I procured the remedy. l had
not much faith in it as 1 had previously
tried a large humble of kidney pills and
kidney remedies without any particular
benefit, but 1 want to say that 1 got
simply wonderful relief in two days after
commencing the use of Kid-ne-oids. and
that / am now entirely cured"
Il regard my case as a severe test of the
medicine. as so many others had failed to
help me. My advice to kidney sufferers
is to give MORROW'S KID-NE-OIDS a
thorough trial, and find relief as 1 did
Mr.. West had no faith at first but the
assurance of his friends induced him to
try once more. The result is given above.
Let Mr.. West be your friend and if you
suffer with backache, sleeplessness, ner-
vousness, etc, take his advice and use
Morrow's Kid-ne-oids and get cured. Mr..
West is a grateful man and will he glad
to write to you personally how much he
was benefited by the use of Morrow's
Kid-ne-oidsif you will enclose a stamp for
reply. Do not confound Mcrrow's Kid-ne-
oids with any kind of kidney pills; they
are not pills at all, but Yellow Tablets
when are put up in wooden boxes and sell
red pellets and cure constipation: they
sell at IS cents a box. Both of these rem
edies are for sale at Chas. r. Goetze's
drug store.

A CORDIAL RECEPTION
Accorded Hon. Henry G. Davis at Charles

accorded Hon. Henry u. Davis at Charles
ton.
Special to the Register.
Charleston, w. Va, February 49,
Hon. Henry G. Davis arrived in the
city yesterday afternoon and was most
cordially greeted by prominent Demo-
Gratis in the hotel lobby as he entered.
After dinner he was escorted to the
House OF Delegates by Capt. Charlie
Wells, where he received an ovation.
After being greeted by most of the
members Mr.. Davis was invited to a
seat at the Presidents desk, where he
at once took an interest in the pro-
ceedings. A later visit to the Senate
chamber resulted in another series of
warm greetings. In the evening a
large number of politicians from all
parts of the State as we'll as Charles
ton, called at Mr.. Davis hotel to pay
their respects.
Mr.. Davis said to the Register he was
merely in Charleston to greet old
friends and make the acquaintance of
the new Democratic members of the
Legislature.
Ex-senator Davis was a member Of
the House of Delegates when the cap
ital was in Wheeling, and subsequently
was elected to the State Senate. In
that race he polled every vote but one
in the town of Piedmont, which was
then very evenly divided politically.

FIVE HUNDRED QUARTS
OF Nitro Elycerine Exploded in theSisters

VIE VII fieIu, yesterday,
Special to the Register.
Sistersville, w. Va. February 19.-
The intelligence reached the city this
afternoon to the effect that a nitro
glycerine magazine, owned by Frank
Winch, had exploded. There were
about five hundred quarts of the stuff
in the magazine at the time, and the
explosion was caused by the magazine
catching fire.
The de~tonation from the explosion
was felt for miles, but on account of the
fact that there is nothing but frame
houses in that section there was no
damage done to any property.
Fortunately, at the time of the ex-
plOsion there was no one near the mag
azine, and there are no casualties to re-
port. There were about seventy-fve
cans of the deadly explosive in the
magazine at the time of the explosion.
it having been filled up just a couple
of days before. The force of the ex-
plosiOn tore an enormous hole in the
ground, and large rocks and heaps of
earth were thrown great distances;
trees which were near by were torn I'D
by the roots and thrown a long distance
away, while some were twisted off. 1t
was the most terrible explosion in this
section yer known from this stuff.

Special to the Register.
Charleston, w. Va, February 49,
Col. R. P. Chew, of Charles Town, and
J. M. Mason, of Jefferson county, arriv-
ed to-day. They are here to present
some scheme for a settlement of the
Virginia debt question.
Inasmuch as the Legislature has
adopted a resolution declaring that this
State owes no part of the Virginia debt,
it will be interesting to know just how
these gentlemen hope to secure a hear

Hon. John T. McGraw is expected to
arrive in Charleston tomorrow.
Mr.. ard Mrs. Fred Behrens, Jr., will
arrive tomorrow to visit Delegate H.
F. Behrens, for a few days.
The special committee of the House
appointed to consider the proposed con
stitutional amendments, met to-day and
will report adversely upon a number
of them. The committee will recon-
mend favorable action upon the
amendment to abolish the fee system,
in so far as it applies to the State Of
fees, and in so far as it is deemed
practicable in other respects.
Both the Senate and House appro-
priation bills are in the hands of the
public printer, and will be upon the
desks of the members in the morning.

because it is peculiarly appropriate.
Good fellowship is essential to eligible

like this:
A man named Masterson had the re-

player west of the Mississippi. Late

went to Paris. The passion for the
great American game could not be
smothered. He tried with Indifferent
success to find a game of draw, when he
CHANGED to meet an E~nglishman who
had been to America, and had been in
Quoted into the mysteries OF poker. The
Englishman told him that the greatest
game in the world was played in Te-
heran, the capital Of Persia, and that
the Shah himself was p~assionately adj
dicted to gambling. Masterson listen
ed to the wonderful tale of the Persian
game, and within a few weeks turned
up at Teheran. He displayed all kinds
of money, but it was unnecessary, as 1t
was an open game, and cheating was
punishable with death. There was no
limit. Masterson found that people Of
every nationality played in the game,
and for that reason an official inter-
prefer was employed. He bought a
thousand dollars worth of chips. The
cards were dealt, and the Shah opened
the pot. Masterdon stayed. Both drew
cards.

"Tu-ru-lu," replied Masterson, not to
be outdone in geniality.

Shah, without cracking a smile.

prefer. "You raised him eve millions

House bill No. POI, which was offered
by MI. Bee, and passed the Senate Fri
day, will become a law when the Gov
ernor affixes his signature. There is a
suspicion, however, that Senator Elkins
will use his influence with the Cover
no to veto the measure. 1t was prob
ably in anticipation of opposition from
Elkins that the bill was taken up out
of it's order, and under a suspension of
the rules was read three times and
passed in a single day. The bill pro-
vides that no election for the change
of a county seat shall take place within
five years after an election for the same
purpose shall have been held. Persons
who are familiar with the county seat
fights, and the amount of bitterness
which they engender, regard the
measure very favorably. Senator Ell
kins's interest in the bill is due to the
fact that there is a county seat war in
Randolph. The court house has been
located in the staid old town of Bever-
ly, and the project to move 1t to Elkins
is part of the scheme to boom that
town and thereby to appreciate the
value of real estate, of which Elkins
owns a vast amount. Two years ago
the matter was voted upon, and the
Beverly people won. Last fall another
election was held and the tables were
turned, Elkins winning by a small ma
jority. The Beverly people claimed

The special House committee which
the Rev. A. L.. Hughes, Of Tyler, asked
to have appointed to investigate the
alleged charges against him in the
Wetzel Democrat and other papers, is
in a Quandary. The committee does
not know Just what it is to investigate,
or how to proceed in the matter. Mr..
Hughes has not been i'll mis- seat for a
week, and the committee will await
his return at least, before proceeding
to hear evidence, if any be offered. The
House has granted full power to send
for papers and persons, but it is not
likely that anything will be done.
A bill has been offered in the Senate
by Mr.. Kidd, to refund a certain sum
paid by John Hogan, of Parkersburg,
for cigarette license. Ex-senator Fin
ley is here to advocate it's passage. The
law under which the tax was paid,
was deciSed to be unconstitutional,
and the claim is made that Hogan is
entitled to the sum involved, amount
ing to about $500.
There is a Republican. scheme in the
Senate consideration of the bill to tax
telephone, telegraph, pipe line and ex-
press companies. When the House
took the position that the formal Sen
ate action indicated the impossibility
of enacting the bill into a law, and
gave that fact as an excuse for sep
arate bills for the taxation of those
monopolies, the word was quickly
passed around in the Senate, and the
bill was sent up to its third reading.
There it has remained for several days.
1t is not likely that it will pass, as
| Senators are afraid the House might
rush it through.
Senator Burkhardt, of Berkeley
county, was in a dilemma for several
days last week. He introduced a bill
authorizing the town Council of Mar
tinsburg to float bonds to the amount
of $40, 1000 for the improvement of the
water works system there. Then he
was flooded with letters for and
against the bill, it appearing that pol
itics figure to some extent in the mat
ter. lac necessity for an improve
ment in the water works exists, and
Senator Burkhardt will advocate the
| passage of the bill.
