It now seems as If the existence of
coal in Back Greek Valley is a
matter of fact and by the actions OF
men of money and experience there
are additional reasons for believing
that coal and probably petroleum are
to be found in the south western por-
ton of Berkeley county.
The prospecting IN the valley con-
tiuues and the residents are selling
their mineral rights. and in some cases
tracts of land are changing hands. A
number of deeds have been entered
upon record at the county clerk S office,
Of land owners conveying land to Mr.
A. E. Fretts, of Greensburg, Pa. 1t
is also intimated that ex-senator
Davis and Senator Elkins are inter
ested in the movements OF the mining
agents.
The land referred to lies midway
between Winchester and Berkeley
Springs, in a south west direction
from this city, in the vicinity of the
junction OF Berkeley and Morgan
counties. The land is in the Back
Creek Valley, along the mountain
known as Third Hill Mountain. The
coal, which has been discovered. has
been used in blacksmith shop and
found to have burned freely.
Several years ago syndicate OBJ
tanned permission 10 sink a well near
Third Hill Mountain, and after boring
some time a small house was built
over the mouth of the we'll and nc
one allowed to pry into it. From that
time on land was purchased by the
company.
Some people believe that the recent
surveyal of the Bismark & Potomac
Valley railroad to Winchester and
along Back Creek Valley had some
connection with the operation of the
mining syndicate at work in the
neighborhood.
If the experiments turn out to be
successful and coal and petroleum are
found, the vicinity of the beautiful
Back Greek Valley will suddenly take
new life. Towns will spring up and
Martinsburg and the surrounding
towns will be greatly benefited.

are published as facts, when the in

become skeptical On one subject
skepticisn is rapidly disappearing
This is due to the actual personal ex-

The doubter must doubt no more in

Catarrh in its various forms is rap

Many women suffer untold agony
and misery because the nature of their
disease is not correctly understood.
They have been led to believe that
womb trouble or female weakness of
some sort is responsible for the many
ills that beset womankind.
Neuralgia, nervousness. headache,
puffy or dark circles under the eyes,
rheumatism. a dragging pain or dull
ache in the back, weakness or bearing
down sensation, profuse or scanty
supply of urine with strong odor, fire.
quent desire to pass it with scalding
or burning sersation, sediment in it
after standing in bottle or common
glass for twenty-four hours. are signs
of kidney and bladder trouble.
The above symptoms are often at
tributed by the patient herself or by
her physician to female weakness or
womb trouble. Hence, so many fail
to obtain relief, because they are treat
ing, not the disease itself. but a re-
Election Of the primary cause, which
is kidney trouble.
In fact, women as we'll as men are
made miserable with kidney and blad-
der trouble and both need the same
remedy.
DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root is the
great discovery of the eminent kidney
and bladder specialist, and is easy to
get at any drug store for fifty cents or
one dollar.
To prove its wonderful merits you
may have sample bottle and book
telling all about it, both sent abso-
lutely free by mail. Kindly mention

Our Presidents.

l. costs the people of the United
States STA sos year for chief ex-
ecutive. His salary is $50, 900 and
found" as our Western neighbors
say. The presidents finding is rather
comprehensive, covering about every
possible requirement Of family. HIS
private secretary, the clerks, door
keepers, messenger and steward and
three other servants cost US $33,865 a
year. Then there is contingent
fund Of 49, year which the presi-
dent may use according to his dis
cretion.
In furniture and repairs to the white
house the sum of SIC. 600 more, to he
used by the direction of the president,
is provided by the nation, and is al
ways expended. For fuel alone So, 900
is allowed. and for necessary repairs
to the green house there is So, 900.
Altogether the presidential find
ing annually amounts to the snug
sum OF $64, SOS, nearly $751; 900 year
morethan his salary. The two ag-
gregate, $I44, SOS. This is an imposing
aggregate bnt it is small compared
with other presidents.
The president Of the French repub-
lie receives as salary $I2o, 900 a year,
$3a,4So for contingent purposes and a
handsome house, rent free. So we
get our president rather cheaply, after
all.

The B & O. railroad is the first
line to introduce this service in the
eastern territory for special accommo.

Cardiac Diseases from Laughter.

Laughter in itself cannot very well,
kill, but it may do harm. Hysterical
girls and boys with kindred nervous
affections are often given to immod-
crate laughter. which tends to increase
nervous exhaustion. DR.. Feilchenfeld
relates an instructive case in which 4
little girl suffered from very definite
cardiac symptoms after immoderatc
laughter. The patient was Is years
old and had previously been free from
any sign Of heart disease After
laughing on and off for nearly an horI
with some companions, she suddenly
felt stabbing pains in the chest and
was seized with fits of coughing, fol-
lowed by cardiac dypnoae, very vel!
marked. Feilchenfeld believes thai
the cardiac disease directly resulted
from inmoderate laughter.

Protection VS.. Free Trade.

William L. Strong, president Of the
American Protective Tariff league, thus
sums up the results of free trade and
protection in the United States:
Broadly speaking, We have lad pro-
lection in 1889. 1872. 1924, 1923, 1913,
1861, 1890 and from 1897 to date. We
had free trade or very low tariffs in
1880, 1916. 1892, 1916. 1887. 1894. AS a
matter OF fact and of record, the results,
condensed to q minimum of expression,
have been as follows:
Under protection we have had:
Threat demand for labor.
2.-Wages high and money cheap.
3.-Public and private revenues large.
4.-Pubic and private prosperity
great beyond all previous precedent
5.-Growing national independence.
Under free trade we have had:
Labor everywhere seeking en-
plovment.
2.-Wages low and money high.
3.-Public and private revenues small
and steadily decreasing.
4.-Public and private bankruptcy
nearly universal.
5.-Growing national dependence.

TIE OF TIGOk

Not for many years has the outlook
fer busy and prosperous season beer
as promising as this spring. In any line
OF business there is strong, healthy
upward trend Land values are in
creasing, money is in demand, property
is changing hands, building operations
have commenced and carpenters, paint
ers and other iabOrers are finding EN-
ployment, and it will only he a matter
eli a few days or weeks when Superior
will be busy hive of industry.
There are many reasons for this re-
vival of our city. Everything is com
ing our way now. The bead Of nayiga-
ton, and the nearest and cheapest out
let for the products of the west, new
railroads are being built. old ones are
making vast improvements, great docks
and elevators are to be erected and inn
meet the increase in lake traffic from
this port during the coming navigation
season. The lake traffic last year from
this port was much greater than that
from any inland port in America,
and the coming season it bids fair to far
a. l..
pcrior is full awaiting the opening OF
navigation, and there are millions OF
bushels along the railways waiting for
statcroom prior to shipment. The de-
vcIopment of the mineral wealth Of the
county is also having a beneficial effect
upon the city as well as the county.
Many thousands of dollars are being in
vested in Superior just now that other
wise would not have found their way
here, and with the successful working
OF the mines many thousands more will
pour in. The output of lumber from
the Superior mills this season is also ex-
pected to exceed by far that of any
previous year, as the past logging seas
on was particularly favorable
Another factor in the building up of
Super.yr, one that did not exist to anv
extent during boom times, is the indus
tr:ous farming community in its imme-
diate vicinity, and which has grown up
within the past few years. There is
nothing Ike a prosperous farming com
muuity TO build u7 a city, and this adj
vantage added to Supprior's other adj
yautag"s, is guarantee that its future
will be prosperous and great.
In the light Of our observations and
reflections, we venture to pre- dict that
the coming season will be one of I'M
eXampled prosperity for Superior and
Douglas county, and we are satisfied to
risk our reputation as a prophet on the
result Of the years work
