'os a banner Year for Export Trade.

The fiscal year of 1898 was the ban
ner year of the foreign trade of the
United States, our exports being the
largest ever recorded for like period,
and our imports exceptionally small.
According to comprehensive report
just prepared by Frank II. Hitchcock,
chief of the section of foreign markets
of the agricultural department, the
total value of our domestic exports
reached the enormous sum of 81, 2l0,-
POI, 913, exceeding the record breaking
figures of the preceding year by sl7s,-
2s4, $40. On the other hand the inn
ports during 1898 were the smallest
since 1885, their value being S616, 049,-
654, decline of S14s, 610,75S from the
figures of 1897. Broadly stated, for
every dollars worth of foreign mer-
chandise brought into the United
States, two dollars worth of our pro-
ducts found a market abroad. Our
domestic exports as compared with our
imports showed an excess of 1894, 242,-
259, or more than twice the excess for
1897, which was the largest previously
reported.

Smiles Won Her a Fortune.

Recently David Hepburn, an old
bachelor, without friends or relatives,
died at Reno. He left property valued
at about 100000, including life insur-
ance, realty and cash. The property
was left to Miss Maggie Ann Mont
gomery, a pretty, sunny tempered girl,
who always smiled upon the bachelor
and chatted with him pleasantly. The
other girls gave him frowns and had
nothing to do with him. But the

The increase of the British garrison

men three years ago to 1900 men, has

leader in the house of commons, Sir

Regarding State Capital Removal.


Charlestonians seem to be very much

convenient point, Parkersburg having
already begun an organized movement
to secure the location. 1t seems that
the Charleston lobby. in the hope of
cutting off any such movement, Is maxi

ment where it Is, and resolutions are
being introduced for more expenditures
of money on the capitol building. in adj
dition to that already pending providing
for needed increases in the facilities for
!. the transaction OF public business.
This is done with view to deterring
the legislature from taking ac-
ton toward removal after the
expenditure OF so much money. A
strong Parkersburg committee has gone
to Charleston authorized to offer the
state a fine site and q capitol BUILDING,
guaranteeing 100000 for the purpose.
The fact of the matter is that the
larger part of the state never has been
satisfied with the capital at Charleston.
Favorably located as 1t is for the peo-
pie of that particular portion of the
state, it is decidedly unfavorable to the
portion containing the greater part OF

Holmes, once said: "If all drugs were
thrown into the sea, it would be all the
better for mankind. and all the worse
for the fishes" or course. the genial
poet referred only to poisonous drugs as
used by most physicians. He certainly
could not have meant all medicines,
for Nature, in her woods and fields, has
been most prolific in yielding up her
treasures of harmless. vegetable remc-
dies for every disease. The wonderful
discoveries OF the famous Dr. Greene,
OF % West nth street, New York
City, amply prove the fact. In

treatment of nervous, chronic and lin
gerlng complaints, uses In his enormous
practice absolutely no poisonous drugs,

use OF harmless vegetable remedies

doubt that Nature has provided rene

ease, and that DR.. Greene, by his deep

experience has discovered and prepared
remedies which surely and certainly
cure these complicated cases of chronic
disease. Any sufferer can demonstrate
this fact, az DIR. Greene gives all tho

If you are out of health and have failed

No regiment in the volunteer service

fact. and will heartily agree with the
governor that the regiment has "ac-
quilted itself honorably and well, and
is entitled to the thanks and praise of
every true West Firginian."
