A Purely Vegetable Blood
Remedy is the Only
Cure.

If the people generally knew the
true cause of rheumatism, there
would he no such thing as lini-
ments and lotions for this painful
and disabling disease The fact is,
Rheumatism is disordered state
of the blood-it can be reached,
therefore, only through the blood.
But all blood remedies can not cure
Rheumatism, for it is an obstinate
disease, one which requires a real
blood remedy-something more than
a mere tonic. Swift's Specific is
the only real blood remedy, and it
promptly goes to the very bottom
of even the most obstinate case
A few years ago / was taken with in
fiammatory Rheumatism, which though
mild at first, became gradually so in
tense that l was for weeks unable to
walk. tried several prominent physi-
clans and took their treatment faith
fully, but was unable to get the slightest
relief. In fact, my condition seemed to
grow worse, the pains spread over my
entire body, and from November to
March suffered agony. / tried many
patent medicines, but none relieved me.
Upon the advice Of friend decided to
try 8. 8. s. Before allowing me to take
it, however, my guardian, who was a
chemist, analysed the remedy, and pro-
uounced it free of potash or mercury.

THE TRUE MERIDIANS.
State Geologist White on this Impor-
tant Work.

State Geologist White on this lmpor-
tant Work.
The following self explanatory
letter was published in Wednesdays
issue of the Wheeling Intelligencer:
My attention has been called to
an article published in your edition
of November "a, 1898, under the
headlines "True Meridian" The
question contained an error that l
wish to correct 1t gave the United
States coast and geodetic survey as
the organization with which our
state geological survey has been CO.
operating in the blishment of
the true meridians in all of the coun-
ties of the state, instead of the
United States geological survey, a
totally different organization.
The United States coast and geo.
detic survey has during various
years since 1864, established merid
ian marks in several (13) of the
county seats of the state, of which
Wheeling was one, and in such cases
the United States geological survey
did not duplicate the work. In all
of the other forty-two counties of the
state, the United States geological
survey has established meridian
marks, during the past year, com
pleting the last station at New Cum
berland, Hancock county, on De-
cember IA, 1898. The work has been
done in skillful and satisfactory
manner, and at a great saving Of ex-
pense to the state, since under the
contract entered into between Di
rector Wolcott, of the United States
geological survey and our state geo.
logical survey, the entire work of de-
termining the meridians and mark
ing the same with stone monuments
and metal tablets was to be done at
a total cost of only $500 to the West
Virginia survey.
The true meridians were deter
mined by skilled astronomer, and
all the facts concerning the same are
now in my hands for publication
The magnetic declination varies
from 0 degrees SO minutes w. at
New Martinsville, Wetzel county, to
A degrees 36 minutes at Berkeley
Springs, Jefferson county, and hence
all will see the Importance of this
work and it's early publication. 1t
will appear with the Report on Pc
troleum, which is now ready to go
to the printers, and which we hope
will be published the latter part of
February. Respectfully,
/. c. WHITE,
State Geologist.

WEST VIRGINIA BLAMED
For Coal strike Said to be Imminent
In the Coal Region

In the Coal Region
A general strike in the bituminous
coal region is looked for or April /, at
the close of the term of the Interstate
agreement between the miners and
the operators.
This strike can only he averted by
the miners and operators of the COM
petitive field reaching an amicable
agreement at the convention to be
held in Pittsburg next week. In a
reported interview Operator Thos. e.
Young, manager OF the Hanna coal
interests, is quoted as follows:
ut is the intention OF the operators
to reduce the mining scale of wages.
The operators can not afford to main
tain the present rate, and the opera
tors claim reduction must be made.
You can readily see the miners and
operators are far apart There seems
to be little chance of getting together.
The operators do not see how they can
maintain the present scale. Coal is
now being sold below cost. The mi.
ners in this district, comprising the
four states mentioned, are well paio
rffff 'they could work full time. They
have done pretty well during the past
year. In fact, they have made more
money than the operators.
1.-The operators in this district pay
so much more for mining than thu
operators in the West Virginia district

How to Prevent Pneumonia,

You are perhaps aware that pneu-

from an attack of Ia grippe. During
the epidemic of la grippe few years
ago when so many cases resulted in
pneumonia, it was observed that the
attack was never followed by that
disease when Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy was used. 1t counteracts any
tendency Of cold or la grippe to re-
suit in that dangerous disease. 1t is

colds and la grippe. Every Dbttle

ATKINSON'S MESSAGE.
Will recommend the Abolition OF the
permanent State School Fund.

CHARLESTON, W. Va, January 5.
I'm his forthcoming message to the
legislature Governor Atkinson will
recommend the adoption of an
amendment to the state constitution
providing for the gradual distribu-
ton and final adjustment of the
permanent school fund.
The governor gave out this infor-
nation tonight.
The principal reason assigned lis
that the board of school fund trus-
tees is not always able to judge the
value of the security offered for the
money in this fund, and that much
of it is invested in municipal bonds
which may be repudiated at any
time.

Grant district school board is
advised to get from under.


They are advised wrsngl, by Riley and
Rucker-The latter afterwards tells
them that he is wrong--A teacher has
right to election day as holiday
under the Iaw-They will have to
pay the man who sued them-Other
teachers will get their money.
The school board OF Grant district
has with drawn from the suit that
they had with one OF their teachers
before Squire Parker at Granville
1t was to have been heard on Satur
day but the lawyers who had charge
of the case for the board, Messrs. Laz-
zelle and Stewart advised them to
compromise and they did SO.
The board had been advised at first
by Attorney General Rucker that they
were all right and the school law that
they had gave it as the opinion OF L.
S. Riley who was Fuckers predecessor
that the election day was not legal
holiday and should not be allowed to
teachers.
The mistake that both Of these
eminent lawyers made was due 10 the
fact that after Riley had made the
ruling the law was changed making
election day holiday Rucker had
not thought Of this and neither had
Trotter who as uperintendent Of free
schools had made up the school law for
distribution to the officials all over the
state.
Riley was right when he gave the
opinion but since then the law has
been changed in regard to the obser-

would not of course be made in the
same way.
In addition To the fact that the law
makes the holiday and the school
board would have been beaten had
they come 10 IA trial as they had taken
