During the winter of 1897 NJ
James Reed, one of the leading citi-
zens and merchants of Clay, Clay
Co., w. Va, struck his leg against a
cake of ice in such manner as to
bruise it severely. 1t became very
much swollen and panied him so bad
ly that he could hot walk without
the aid of crutches. He was treated
by physicians, also used several kinds
of liniment and two and a half gal
lone OF whisky in bathing it, but
nothing gave any relief until he be-
gan using Chamberlain Pain Palm.
This brought almost complete cure
in a weeks time and he believes that
had he not used this remedy his leg
would have had to be amputated.
Pain Palm Is unequaled for sprains,
bruises and rheumatism. For sale

Another suggestion for solution
Of the race problem in the South
is furnished by Benjamin w. Hunt,
wealthy Georgia planter, who
thinks all the farming should be
done by the blacks, while the whites
should adopt mechanical and fact
ory labor as a means of livelihood.
Mr. Hunt thinks. indeed, that this
change is already taking place
surely, if somewhat slowly.

Berlin, March 4.-The United States
ambassador, Mr.. Andrew D. White, tells
the correspondent here Of The Asociat-
ed Press that:
For some time past there has been
an evident tendency on the part of the
German government to be very concil-
iatory towards American commerce.
In the first place, regarding American
insurance companies, which formerly
were forbidden to do business in Prus-
STA, the government has conceded that
the case, which was supposed to be
closed may be re-opened and also, what
the insurance companies have been
urging, it has sent representatives of
Prussia to New York, to Investigate
the methods of American companies.
Whether these concerns will be permit
ted to resume business will depend on
the nature of this report.
Regarding American meats" added
Mr.. White, "the meat inspection bill
has a number of features favorable to
American interests, showing good will
towards the United States. The con-
cession regarding oranges, raisins and
dried fruit and the passage of them in
bond without inspection is also of
great value and the indications are
favorable for fair settlement of other
issues.
1.-The Germans" said Mr.. White,
"claim it is now the turn of the
Americans to make cor LESSONS, such as
the release of their ships from the ton
mage dues imposed under the admins
tration of President Cleveland and
since continued under a misapprehen-
sion. There are also many other signs
that the Germans desire the widest ia
cilities for business with the Ameri-
cans, an example being the especially
favorable report of the Hamburg cham
Der of commerce in regard to American
trade. All this seems to indicate that
opinion is tending in a remarkable de-
gree in favor of equitable treatment of
American products. This, doubtless,
will have a marked effect on the COM
merce of the two nations"

Special to the Register.
Morgantown, w. Va, March AT
Ills this morning fire was discovered
in the Mechanical Hall at the Univer-
sity, and in few minutes the big
building was a mass or flame. The
building was the biggest, best equip
ped and most modern of all of the
University structures. 1t was filed
with costly machinery and the interior
was finished in pine. The fire made
rapid Roadway and in an hour there
remained nothing but a mass of smok-
ing ruins. The fire department could
not reach it and no effort could be
made toTard saving the structure. The
loss is placed at $4,000, on which
was $4,000 insurance, of which the
Standard, German, Franklin and Pea
body Companies, of Wheeling, e ach
carried $500.
Prof Aldrich, of Mechanical Engi-
neering, lost a library valued at
$1,000, besides records of many i'm
portant experiments.
There is no definite information as
to the origin of the fire, but it Is sup
posed that heavy pressure on the gas
pipes caused a jet to flare up and set
the woodwork on fire.
1t is expected the building will be
Immediately rebuilt The Legislature
at tie last session made provisions for
a Waterman and fire protection, but
these provisions had not been carried
out for want of time.

insurance companies for reinsurance,
He has since held that the same TsfrS
ciple applies to fire and marine insur-
ance companies, as the law substantial
" is the same as regards all classes Of
insurance. He says:
at was the purpose OF the law to tax
the policy by which the insurance is
made, either life. fire or marine, and
there is no reasonable construction OF
which would tax a transaction betweenl
the companies themselves by which AZ
risk taken by policy already issued
is divided"
