Spsin's Sunken Ships Floated.

Perhaps the greatest mechanical feat
of the century has been the raising of
some of the Spanish warships which
were apparently shot TO pieces at Santi-
ago 1t seemed utterly impossible to
float them. because of the terrible dam
age inflicted by our guns, but the task
has been accomplished. Diseases of
the blood. stomach and liver frequently
wreck the health so that there appears
to be no chance of recovery. But when
Hostetter's Stomach BitterS is taken,
the dSordered system is speedily re-
stored to its old-time vigor and tone.
The Bitters will regulate the liver,
bowels. and digestive functions and
purify the blood. You can buy this
remedy in any drug store, and under no
circumstances should you accept any.

How to Prevent Pneumonia.

You are perhaps aware that pneu-
monia always results from cold or
from an attack Of la 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 counteraets
any tendency Of a cold or la grippe to
result in that dangerous disease. 1t
is the best remedy in the world for
bad colds and la grippe Every bot
tie warranted. For sale at Reinhart g

West Virginia Items.

The State Bar Association convened
at Charleston Tuesday. President D.
C. Westenhaver presided and delivered
his annual address.
1t is said that there was regular
knock down fight a few days ago be-
tween Prof ]. T. Rucker, principal of
the West Virginia Asylum for Deaf,
Dumb and Blind at Romney, and Mr..
James Wirgman, editor of the Times.
The row was the result of publica-
ton in the newspaper. Both men are
Republicans, but they had a falling
out over politics in the last campaign.
The State penitentiary has acquired
pair of blood hounds, which are being
trained to detect convicts. The past
week one or two Of the conyicts were
taken out and given good start, after
which the hounds were turned loose.
Both men were soon located, and each
climbed a tree out of reach of the dogs.
This practice will be continued until
the hounds are sure to have developed
keen scent for criminals.
Sunday a party of FIVE young men
from Grafton went to Fetterman, on
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, to at
tend revival meeting and to escort
home several girls. The jealousy of
some Of the Fetterman young men was
aroused, and as the Graftonites were
returning after the services they were
fired upon with revolvers from am
bush. One of the shots mortally
wounded Calvin Thomas, aged eighteen
years, by going through his lung.
Eighteen arrests have been made and
three revolyers were found in the
crowd, but the guilty party Is not yet
known. There Is much excitement
over the affair.
The Secretary Of State Of West Vir-
GINA has granted charter to the

ner is one Of the incorporators and IS

the principal Office of which is to be
at Martinsburg. The charter Of the
company authorizes it to operate rail-
ways, telegraph lines, steamship lines,
etc. to engage in the manufacture Of
various commodities; to manage oil,
timber and mineral properties. In
short, to engage in any business look
ing to the development and carrying
on of business in the countries named.
