high prices.
Dr. Pierce is also the head Of the famed
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at
Buffalo, N Y, where hundreds of invalids
and afflicted persons from all over the
country go for treatment by the corps of
specialists who are in constant attendance.
1t is because of his vast practice that the
doctor is so we'll fitted to successfully treat
every form of disease. Do not feel that
you are imposing upon him when you ask
for free advice, because he wishes all to
know that his medicines only are to be
paid for-not his advice.

The Craftsmanship Of the immigration
committee held by Congressman Dan
ford at the time of his death, is one OF
the few vacant chaIrmanshlps to be
given out in the organization of the
house next week and is attracting some
attention Capt. Danford was an ear
nest advocate of an educational test
for immigrants. and championed q
bill Of that character while he was
able, But there was strong opposition
to It, and during last December, Just
before his fatal illness, the house DEM
onstrated It's opposition by refusing to
take It up for consideration out OF Its
order. Capt. Danford was discouraged,
but not hopeless over this, and confi-
IDENTIFY expected to secure the favor OF
the house. but his illness prevented
further effort on his part, and the
Spanish war excitement kept his fellow
members Of the committee from push
ing 1t during the last session.
The Danford measure Is to be pre-
scented again in some form and has an
able advocate In Hon. John Dalzell, the
Pittsburgh congressman, who aided In
the former effort. The position Of Hon.
]. ]. Gill. Capt. Danford's successor,
has not yet been given the public, but
1t is known that some Of the ablest
members Of the house, including
Speaker Reed. differed with Capt. Dam
ford and the committee.
Mr.. Gill. however, will be one OF the
earnest advocates OF the river improve
ments in which the people Of this sec
ton, as well as all along the Ohio, are
deeply interested, and took occasion
during his campaign to commend the
work in that direction and to compli-
ment Capt. DovenerS efforts on that
committee in securing recognition for
the Ohio valley.

The Fourth District Congressman De

Writes to a Wheeling Friend, Stating
That He Is a Candidate, Statements
lAat He Has Withdrawn to the
Contrary NOtwithstinding-P Pan
nell Garden Does Not Aspire to the
Ohio County sheriRalty,

One day last week, Mr.. H. p. McGre-
gor. of this city. was quoted in a
Wheeling paper as having stated that
Congressman Freer of the Fourth dis
trict. would not be candidate for the
Republican guberuatorial nomination
in 1900, his authority being talk with
Colonel Freer. Immediately. Frear peo-
pie all over the state expressed their
doubts OF the correctness Of the nsser-
ton. One Of Congressman Freer's
Wheeling friends wrote him asking II
the published statement was correct.
The following answer was received yes
terday.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. q, 1899.
Dear comTade;-
Yours Of the Dist at hand The News Is
wrong; my conversation with H. p. Nc
GregSr was only half stated said his
views were my personal views, but as a
Republican would accept the nomination
and be elected.
i am still OF the opinion stated in my
former letter--I am willing to make the
race, and will do so, but / don't think i
Advisable to become too aggressive Until
about July /. Count on me don't
BACK down, Yours frRternally.
ROMEO II. FREER.
This personal statement from Con-
gresham Freer sets aside all doubt as
to his candidacy. He is evidently in
the contest for keeps. His principal
opponent, Collector of Internal Revenue
A. B. White, comes from the same con-
gresslonal district, SO the situation
there is considerably complicated. The
district also has aspirnnts for other
positions or the state ticket, including
Warden Sam A. Hawk. Of the penIten-
tlary whose home is in Huntington,
and Elliot Northcott, also of the Second
City, both OF whom are willing to fill
the shoes Of Auditor Lafollette after
the fourth day of March, 1901 or
course, with either White or Freer nom
mated for governor, their chances are
decidedly nil. With the two guberna-
torlal candidates from the lower end Of
the state, the prospects Of the Gahdi-
dates for auditor from the upper end
are brighter than ever.

Garden Not In It.

While the Dewey invitation commit
tee was in Washington, the Intelligent
GERS representative asked Captain
Pannell Garden. OF the capitol police.
whether he was really an aspIrant for
the sherInalty nomination in Ohio
county on the Democratic ticket, as has
been so generally believed here.
mo, am not after that Office re-
piled Mr.. Garden decidedly.
He added that politics has seldom
dictated any change in the capitol po-
lice. and that so long as man does his
duty his chances to retain office are
good.

The Arm Of Arnstein & WolR, engag-

Several other firms are their creditors

The wellsburgh store was closed up
last Thursday by Harper & Brother,

This news will surprise many people
