How to Look Good.

Good looks are really more than skin
deep. depending entirely on a healthy
condition of all the vital organs. If the
liver is inactive, you have a bilious
look: if your stomach is disordered
you have a dyspeptic look; if your kid
neys are affected, you have a pinched
look. Secure good health, and you
will surely have good looks. Electric
Bitters' is a good Alternative and Tonic.

Thacker Wiped Out.

Parkersburg, w. Va, May 2.-Thack-
er, a mining town OF 600 people, was to-
tally wiped out by fire yesterday. The
town was wholly without fire protection
or .water-works, and citizens could but
gaze helplessly at the destruction Of their
homes and property. The fret is believed
to have been of incendiary origin, for it
wa pay night at the mines and much
drunkenness and i'll feeling was shown.
There was only $500 insurance on all the
property destroyed, which was held by S.
Helm. The risk was so great that insur-
ance companies refused to take it. The
total loss is 100000.

Postage to be Reduced to One Cent,

The enormous increase in the number
of letters carried in the u. S. mails makes
it certain that the rate of postage must
eventually be reduced t o one cent an
ounce. The President who succeeds in
getting such a easur through Con-
gress will hold a high place in the esteem
of the people, but no higher than the es-
TEEN in which everybody holds Hostel

The ancients believed that rheumatism
was the work Of a demon within a man,
Anyone who has had an attack Of sciatic
or intlammatory rheumatism will agree
that the infection is demoniac enough TO
warrant the belief. 1t has never been
claimed that Chamberlain's Pain Balm
would cast OF demons, but it will cure
rheumatism, and hundreds bear testimony
to the truth Of this statement. One APP
plication relieves the pain, and this quick
relief which it affords is alone worth many
times its cost. For sale at Matthaei's

Max Robinson, the principal owner of
the Auburn Wagon Company, Martins
burg. was in Greencastle the other day,
the object of his visit being to see what
inducements the people of the town could
offer him looking to the return of the in
dustry to Greencastle. He held a con-
sultation with the owners of the Crowell
plant and several of the business men, but
no.detinite offer was made or no conclusion
arrived at. 1t is thought by the exercise
of a little influence the company can be
induced to return to Greencastle .-Hag-

II. b. Dunbar, Of Cincinnati, who. with
his family, has been on the Coast for the
past four months looking for hotel site,
returned yesterday from visit to the
East, and is a guest Of the Rainier-Grand.
He says that during his stay on the At

sufficient capital to construct large, mod
efn hotel building In Seattle, and that the
work will be commenced as soon as some
preliminary arrangements have been set

the purpose OF completing arrangements
for a site for q new hotel building he

the site will be, can assure you 1t Will
be on First avenue. not more than two
blocks from Madison street. II all goes
well, and have every reason to believe It
will. we shall commence building in Feb
ruary. and in five months from that time
shall have our hotel In operation.
'It will contain 1888 rooms, ITO of which
will have baths attached 1t will be fitted
with an electric elevator and every mod
ern appliance that will add comfort to its
patrons. There will not be a single inside
room in the building. The total cost will
be 500 900.
"Ths men who are going into the plan
are well posted on the prospects OF Puget
sound, and see in this city the need Of a
first-class hotel and the profits OF such an
future greatest city Of the Pacific coast.
