CHILLICOTHE, Ohio, July pa.
remarkable romance of forty years
duration eliminated to-day in the mar
riage of L. V. Whitecraft, of Kanses,
and woman whom he deserted before
the war. Forty years ago Mary Dern
was the belle of the county and White
craft one of its best known young men.
They became engaged and the day was
set for the wedding. TIE guests gath
cred, feast was ready and the bride
put on her wedding finery, but the
groom did not come and an investiga-
ton showed that he had enlisted and
left for the front.
Two years later, thinking him dead,
Mary Dem married prosperous
farmer
Whitecraft came back from the war
with the rank of lieutenant, deter
mined to search out Mary Dern and
marry her, but found her already mar
ried. He went to Kansas. where he
married.
The girls first husband died soon
afterwards and, learning that White
craft was married, she married again.
Then Whitecraft's wife died, and when
he found out that the other love had
married a second time he did likewise.
Mrs. Whitecraft, No. died about a
year ago and Mary Dern's second hus-
band died some months later.
A correspondence sprang up between
the two old lovers and Whitecraft came
East and married the love of his youth
to-day.
They are now en- route for their Kan
sas home to spend the remainder OF
their days together.
Until he came East Whitecraft and
his boyhood sweetheart had not seen
each other for nearly forty years.

WASHINGTON, July 29.-Captain c.
F. Goodrich has been detached from
command of the cruiser Newark, and
ordered to assume command of the
battleship Iowa on September /, reliev-

home on waiting orders. The assign
ment is of special interest in connec-
ton with the plans to make the Iowa
the nucleus of a considerable fleet on
the Pacific coast, and to execute an eX-
tensive programme of naval manoeuv-
res. Being the only battleship OF the
fleet, the Iowa will probably rank first
among the ships of that station, and
Captain Goodrich doubtless will have
command.

FIFTY CENTS,
Advance in the Price of Lumber will Go
into Effect Tomorrow.


MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, July 90
The Times will say tomorrow:
Lumber will advance another so
cents straight Monday morning, this
being the fifth marked advance in
prices this year. The lumber interests
claim to be entirely justified in adj
vancing the price. 1t has been many
years since there was such a demand
as at the present season has shown
and even with the advancing prices the
demand continues to exceed the sup
ply. 1t seems that elevator builders
who are using 'cribbing" in great guam
titles, will soon have to resort either to
the higher grade of cribbing, which is
almost too expensive for the purpose,
or take to steel for elevator building.
There have been but few years when
so much activity has been shown in the
elevator business.

Circular to the Trade.
PITTSBURG, Pa, July 29.-The AM
erican Glass Company sent out circu-
lars to-day announcing to the trade an
advance of per cent in the price of
window glass to take effect on August /.
The last advance in prices was made on
June 20, which, including the present
increase. makes the advance in the
price of glass since the opening of the
fire about 80 per cent. Prospects for
large fall trade are said to be good in
all parts of the country. and next month
likely will see unusually small stocks
on hand.
The wage committee of the window
glass workers association meets in this
city next Tuesday to formulate a scale
for the ensuing year. A conference
with the American Glass Company will
be held on August 10.

AN IMPORTANT RULING
BY the Commissioner of Internal Rev.
enue Affecting Banks.
Very truly yours,
VIM. l.. WILSON

Commissioner Wilson, Of the inter-
nal revenue department has issued a
circular absolutely prohibiting banks
from affixing stamps to checks I'M
stamped when presented, and requir-
ing them to return the same to the
drawers. In his circular to collectors
the commissioner says:
You are directed TO notify the
banks that are guilty of stamping I'M
stamped checks that il the practic e
is not Immediately discontinued they
will be reported to the United States
district attorney for prosecution.
The instruction contained in treasury
decision No. 10, COG under the date of
June 20, 1898, TO the effect that there
was no objection to the affixing by
the bank of the requisite stamps to
an unstamped check presented for
payment is hereby revoked. This in
struction was given to meet an emer-
gency Immediately preceding the tax
ing effect of the stamp act on July 1,
1898, in order to obviate the necessity
of returning by the banks thousands
Of unstamped checks issued by drawers
in ignorance of the law. The law
being now generally understood there
is no further need Of such permission
This action was taken upon infor
nation that certain banks had adopt
ed the practice of not requiring
stamps, as an advertisement to Sc
cure patronage against rival banks.

An American Railroad in China.

Moneyed men from the United
States have secured franchise for
building railroad from Hong Kong
to Han Kow, China, a distance of
nearly 700 miles. 1t will run through
a very rich and fertile section of the
country, and open up new opportu-
mites for the people to prosper
While railroads are necessary to ma
tion's prosperity, health is still more
necessary. A sick man can't make
money if there are a thousand rail-
roads. One Of the reasons why Amer
lea is so progressive is the fact that
in every drug store is sold Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, that celebrated tonic
for the weak, stimulant for the kid
neys, appetizer for the dyspeptic, pu-
rifier for the blood, and sedative for
the nerves. 1t is taken with great
success by thousands Of men and wo-
man who are run down. pale and
weak 1t increases the weight of
thin people, and the gain is perma-
nent and substantial.

WILSON ENDORSES IT.
Former Morgantown man thinks
Plan all Right.
Prof. VIM. L. Wilson, OF Washington
and Lee Joins in the Chorus Chad
wick Day is Bound TO be great sue
cess-It is now up TO Morgantown to
Make II what ii should be.

A food of letters is coming in to
Commander Brown every day in ref
erence to the Chadwick Day celebra-
tion. Without exception they are
heartily in favor of the plan and
urge us to do all that we can to
make the occasion worthy of the
man aud the state which is to honor
him.
The only discord in the harmony
has been few suggestions that the
celebration be held elsewhere and
this not the intention OF those who
are behind the plan. AS told by
Commander Brown the sentiment
here is that where the greater nun
Der of personal friends and relatives
of the Captain and in fact his birth
place is the most appropriate place
to honor him.
The proposals TO hold it in other
places are not very strong and those
making them have all agreed that
they are not the best after all. They
are now heartily in favor OF the plan
as adopted and want to see us make
it great big success.
The uniformity in the tone of the
letters and the satisfactory evidences
of the interest that is being taken in
the plan is very gratifying to the
people who are back of it and they
are bending every effort to make ev-
cry edge cut in working for the
event.
Among the letters endorsing the
affair is the following from w. L.
Wilson who was formerly the presi-
dent of the University and now pres
dent of Washington and Lee Uni
versity at Lexington.
Lieut.. r. NJ G. Brown,

DEAR SRI highly approve of
the suggestion of sword presensa
ton by the people of West Virginia
to Captain Chadwick His distin-
guished services in the late war,
browning a long and splendid record
as a naval officer, well merit such
recognition from the people Of his
native State. The presentation
should be a State, ard not a local,
affair.

The report and return of the survey
of the boundary line between Mary
land and West Virginia, made under
an order Of the Supreme Court of the
United States is about ready for the
filing The boundary line was locat-
ed by DR.. L. A. Barr, Of the State
Geological Survey, assisted by w.
McCuIloh Brown, civil engineer, OF
Garrett county. The state of West
Virginia will do little more field
work, when ex-senator George E.
Price and Attorney General Rucker,
attorneys for West Virginia will be
present. The testimony on both
sides will be completed at the same
time
The act authorizing suit to be
brought in the Supreme Court OF the
United States against the State of
West Virginia was passed by the leg
islature of Maryland in 1890. The
suit authorized by that act was insti-
tuted by Attorney General Whyte in
1891, since which time it has been
pending. The surveys and loca-
tions were made under the admins
tration of Attorney General Clabaugh.
The most important question to be
settled by the location is the initial
point or beginning Of the line in con-
troversy, which calls TO begin at the
most western source or first fountain
of the Potomac river. Many persons
in both states have already understood
that point to be at the Fairfax stone,
but when the representatives of
Maryland met in the summer of 1897
TO begin the survey, they found
spring much larger than the one at
Fairfax stone, with much larger
stream also. This spring is to the
west of and one mile distant from the
Fairfax spring. The Maryland rep
resentatives after satisfying them
selves upon the subject by testimony
entirely satisfactory to them, began
the line at the spring so discovered by
them which they called Potomac
Spring. This disputed territory, as
the matter now stands, lies between
the Potomac springs and Fairfax
springs respectively, and embraces
tract of "a square miles. 1t is said
that West Virginia does not dispute
the location seriously, but relies main
ly upon her long continued possession
of the land in dispute.
Attorney General Gather, accom-
panied by Messrs. +. II. Sincell and
w. McCulloh Brown, visited the
Fairfax Potomac springs, with view
OF familiarizing himself with the locus
in quo preparatory TO trial Of the
case in the Supreme Court next fall.
The Attorney General expressed him
self as satisfied with the manner in
which the work had been done. He
also expressed confidence in the claims
OF Maryland. The dispute between
the states has extended through a
century or more, and has been great
cause of trouble to the unfortunate
people living in the disputed territory.

One little drop of rain does not
produce much moisture; even two

effect. But the constant, continual
dripping Of the rain drop will thor
oughly moisten the earth. just SO
with advertising One little skinny
advertisement should not be expect
ed to produce very material results
in this age OF the world, when so
much advertising is being done;
but persistently keeping at it,
scarcely ever fails.
Others have, perhaps, been adver-
Using something similar to yours,
long before your advertisement ap
peared, and people may be using
that with satisfaction. DO you ex-
pect one little announcement of
yours is sufficient to make them
change? But If your advertisement
is placed before them time after
time, they will conclude your arti-

try it, to see If it might not suit
them better than the one they are
buying.
