She was formerly of this place but NOV

had been suffering for a long time and as
a last resort underwent a surgical opera

She was the widow of the late Kennedy
Wright, who died several years ago. Two.
daughters and one son survive her. In

We wish to make correction in Lots
statement of last week in regard to the
president of our Board of Education being
at the pupils examination. 1t was not
our president to whom she was talking,
but one of our commissioners. Our presl-
dent is not a Democrat but a Republican,
Our Board of Education made the levy last
year for nine months school and the
teachers salary to be S27 per month. The
patrons in general would not agree TO a
nine month term; so they reduced it to
eight and raised the poor teachers salary
"a great big half-dollar" per month.
We would not say a word if the other
districts of the county would pay the same
wages, but Falling Waters pays the low
est wages in the county. The other dis
tIicts pay S2S and $50. Why can't our
district do the same? We do not believe
in taxing our patrons to death in order to
paw the school teacher high wages but
when the levy is made high enough to
have a surplus in the treasury after all in
cidental expenses as paid we thing they
should give the teacher some OF that SUPP
lus. Our county Superintendent has Civ
ed our district the name of having the
best attended schools and best teachers IL
the county and we think that should be
stimulus for onr worthy Board to make ar
effort to keep their schools in this condi-
ton. We say nothing about the catalogue
We can get along without 1t. We be-
lieve in practicing economy, but wher
you buy a good article you have to pay
for it. So it is with the teacher. If you
want good teachers and wish to keer
them you will have to pay them better
wages so they can prepare for their work

FOOD FOR THOUGHT.
West virginia's Proportion Of Feder-

Washington, D. C., April 24-Senators
Elkins and Scott are both still very busy
looking after West Virginia appointments.
They have been kept so hard at it that
neither has been able 70 leave the city.
though each counted on being able to
take a rest before this. The placing OF
West Nirginians however, has given them
more trouble than they anticipated. and
especially since so many complaints are
reaching them from the First, Third and
Fourth istFicts;concerning the inadequate
representation those districts have, as
compared with the Second. Clippings
from the weekly newspapers have been
sent them from all parts OF the State,
containing an interview credited % Judge
Romeo n. Frecr. the Republican Repre-
sentative from the Fourth Congressional
district. In this alleged interview Judge
Freer is reported to have drawn some
more startling comparisons.
Both the Senators thought It best TO
institute an investigation Of the represen-
tation West Virginia has in the depart
ments at Washington. II was not an easy
matter to trace each individual appoint-
ment. but the investigation has shown an
approximate figure which can be taken as
nearly absolutely correct. 1t IS correct for
all practical purposes. This investigate, II
shows the following results
West Virginia has So4 appointments
charged to her and the yearly salary paid
to these 3o4 appointees amounts to $500

the four Congressional districts, by poli-

What Shall We Do?

A serious and dangerous disease pre-
walls in this country, dangerous because
so deceptive. 1t comes on SO slowly, yet
surely, that it is often firmly seated before
we are aware of it.
The name of this disease which may be
divided into three distinct stages is, first,
Kidney trouble, indicated by pain in the
back, rheumatism, lumbago, frequent de-
sire to u~rinate, often with a burning SEM
~sation, the flow of urine copious or scant,
with strong odor.
If allowed to advance, this reaches the
second stage, or bladder trouble, with
heavy pain in the abdomen, low down
between the naval and the water pas
sage. increasing desire to u~rinate, with
scalding sensation in passing, small guam
titles being passed with difficulty, some
times necessary to draw 1t with instru-
ments. If uric acid or gravel has formed
it will prove dangerous if neglected.
The stage is Bright's disease.
There is comfort in knowing that DIR.
Kilmer, the great kidney and bladder spe-
%ciaiist, has discovered a remedy famous
for its marvellous cures of the most dis
tressing cases and known as DR.. kilmers
Swamp-Root.
1t is sold by all druggists.

Is your throat sore and inflamed?

Consumption, the bane of those who
have been brought up in the old-fash-
toned beliefs that this disease was hered-
itary, that it was fatal, that none could
recover who were once firmly clasped in
its relentless grip.
But now known to be durable, made
so by the world-stirring discoveries OF
that man whose name has been given

Now known to be preventable and

First District. ........ .S74,oSS
Second District. loo $50
Third District. ..75,o4o
Fourth District .44,99o
otal..... .S35o,3o4
The table shows that the First, Third
and Fourth Congressional district have
Jared about alike in the matter of appoint
ments, up to the present time. Senator
Scott, when he was Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue, placed about thirty West
| Virginians in that service. The majority
of these appointments were made from the
Third and Fourth districts. Prior to this,
however, Senator Elkins had been doing
all he could to even up matters. The la
BILE further shows that in these three dis
tricts the Republicans in office from the
First and Third districts outnumber the
Democrats from the same districts, while
in the Fourth districts the Democrats out
number the Republicans.
The Second district has more appoint
ments, by two, than the other three dis
tricts combined. OF the I55 appoint
ments charged to the Second district, Is
are from Jefferson county. Were it not
for this n county, the representation
from the Second district would be but
little larger, proportionatelv, than the
other three. This large representation
from Jefferson county is due to the Hon,
w. L. Wilson, who for many years rep
resented the Second district in Congress,
| and was Postmaster General during the
| Jo..o- 1865. ~ D-o..I1a+ C1a,,a1onIse 1or.
administration. Jefferson county was
Mr.. Wilson's home, and while he was
Postmaster General he had Democrats
from that county appointed to office at
every opportunity. Finally President
Cleveland's blanket civil service orders
placed all these appointments in the
classified service and there the a%ppointees
remain, protected by the rules Of this
service. A similar condition of affairs
| existed in the other three districts. Re-
publicans were removed from office and
their places filled by Democrats. All
this was done in anticipation of President
Cleveland's extension of the civil service
and this accounts for the large number of
Democrats now in Office in the depart
ments charged t. West Virginia.
The large majority Of these appoint
ments are now protected by civil service
rules, and it is impossible for either Sena-
tor Elkins or Senator Scott to right the
wrong committed by President Cleveland
in the last months Of his administration.
The representation that West Virginia
has in the department at Washington is
very large in comparison with that from
other States. The 3o4 appointments now
charged to West Virginia is a greater
number than New Hampshire. Rhode Is
land, Massachusetts and Maine heve COM
b!ned, yet the representation from these
four States is nearly five times as large as
that Of West Virginia.

Launching of the
Robert r. Hind.

Another new four-masted schooner has
been added to the Hind, Rolph & Co.
sugar fleet. The new boat is the Robert
r. Hind and she was launched from the
shipyards at Alameda a few days ago.
She was christened by Miss Mildred
Rolph, and is a sister ship to the Honoipu
and Muriel The latter are two of the
smartest vessels of their class afloat, and
if the new boat can beat them she will be
a crackajack. The Hind is 1872 feet inches
long, 81 feet inches beam and 13 feet
deep and will carry 100000 feet of lumber
or 100 tons of sugar
The first vessel built by Hind, Rolph e
Co. was the Muriel. She was soon fol-
lowed by the Honoipu and the Robert r.
Hind and in a few weeks the schooner
James Rolph and the four-masted bark
entine William Carson, now nearing COM
pletion at Eureka will be added to the
fleet Besides these vessels the firm owns
the schooners Defender, John G. North,
G. w. Watson and barkentine Wrestler.
The Robert R. Hind and the James
Rolph are exactly alike, and the first time
they meet there is going to be an inter-
esting race That is not likely to take
place until the latter part of the year,
however as the James Rolph will go from
Eureka to Australia, while the Robert R.
Hind will load here for Hawaii.
Captain ]. S. Hellingson, late of the
schooner John A. will command the Rob-
ert r. Hind; Captain Piltz, late of the
barkentine Charles F. Crocker. will COM
mand the William Carson, and Captain
Dedrick late of the Defender, will COM
mand the James Rolph.
There were several mishaps during the
loading of the Sacramento River steamer
Aurora yesterday, and in consequence a
wagon load of furniture and another of
tombstones are at the bottom of the bay.
1t was low water at the time, and the
apron connecting the steamer with the
wharf was at an angle of 40 degrees. The
horses were taken out of both wagons
and the latter were put in position for
sliding down the incline. The furniture
went first and one of the deckhands was
placed in the drivers seat to handle the
brake. The load of tombstones came be-
hind and proved more than the deckhand
