NEXT to the Ohio campaign,
that in Kentucky is attracting
most attention here. The fight
against Goebel, the democratic
nominee for governor, is known to
be very bitter. Republicans ex
press confidence they wi win. The
most important element of stength
for Goebel is admitted to be the
support of Mr.. Bryan. The Ne
braskan has lost none of his re-
markable powers of persuasion,
and with his help but little doubt
is felt that the Blue Grass State
will be reclaimed readily to Dem
ocracy. 1t will be a close call,
however, and the result will be to
solidify even more firmly the devo-
ton of all true democrats of the
brilliant young exponent OF that
party's creed.

Good Price Realized on Both Business
Apd Resident Lots.
The sale of town lots at Sterrett,
formerly Cale) in the Choctaw
nation, was begun yesterday after
noon by the United States townsite
commission, and the commissioner
representing the Choctaw nation.
There was a large crowd of buyers
present and business lots, accord
ing to location, sold for from $50
to 1925. These of course were the
unimproved business lots.
Residence lots being much larg-
er than business lots, were sold
from $40 to $500.
The townsite commissioners ar
ranged platform on wagon with
the townsite plat and auctioneer' )
table, and drove to each lot offered
and sold the lot while the crowd
was present and could see the
property.
The sale started again this morn
ing at 9 o'clock, and up to /
O'Clock this afternoon $50 lots had
been sold. There was brisk de-
mand for good lots, and every one
of the $40 town lots in Sterrett, it
is expected, will be sold by tomor-
row night or Saturday evening
when the sale will close.

as to what answer to give, but a

promptly to his aid,

A BOLD ASSERTION.
Might.be Doubted i by our Readers
We're lit not Backed by Martins
burg People.

It's an old saying that familiarity
breeds contempt" Lots of truth in It
too. A good fellow always wears well"
and so it is with many things in every
day life; the good things wear well. they
last, increase in public popularity. Praise
must be earned and praise for Doan's
Kidney Pills has been justly earned in
Martinsburg. Month by month and year
by year their workings never ceasing,
have continued until there are few house
holds not familiar with the name of Doan.
It's bold assertion TO make that nothing
in modern medicine can show such rec
ord but the proof Of it lies in home tes-
timeny and Endorsement of people we
know. Here is case of it:
Mr.. Blake Kimmel, of Martin street,
brakeman on the b. & O. passenge- train

says: My back ached so severely at times
that it could not have panied more had it
been broken. got box of Doan's Kid

The First Typewriter.

Hidden away in dark corner Of the
model-room in the Patent Office at
Washington, with the dust of years
giving its brown surface a coat OF
gray, is an apparently worthless block
Of wood cut in the shape of staircase,
with small blocks of wood mounted on
wires on each of the stairs.
When / happened to see this object
while looking through the 100000 mod
els the other day, ] thought 1t must be
some sort of child's plaything, says
the Atlanta Constitution. On closer ex-
animation my curiosity was aroused,
SO that ! induced one of the busy at
PENDANTS to look UP the matter for me.
1t was discovered TO be the first type
writer ever made in the United States
perhaps in the world.
Ii placed by the side of one of our
1899 model typewriters the first type
writer could not fail to provoke smile
from the spectator. Instead of dainty
black and nickel letter keys, with an
open framework showing the easy
workings of the intricate machinery OF
the inside as is usual in the typewrit-
ers of to-day. this first typewriter con-
sist of a closed wooden box with
blocks of wood half an inch square for
its letter keys. The paper-carriage Of
the first typewriter is also of wood,
and instead of the operator turning
the paper-carriage by mere touch on
an extension rod, as is done with all
typewriters now in use, when one line
was finished on the first typewriter the
operator had to use both hands to turn
the paper-carriage-on hand to lift
catch from the cogwheel and the other
hand to push the paper around as far
as desired.
However, much as the first typewri-
ter differs from its grandchildren close
examination shows that it has all the
essentials of typewriters as we know
them to-day The inventor of the type
writer was r. T. p. Allen, of Farmdale
KY, who secured his patent in 1876.
There were other so-called typewriters
invented before this date, but the Al
len invention is the first machine that
bore fruit, and it is that machine which
may be looked upon as the parent of
the FIVE million or more typewriters in
use in the United States to-day.

Lncusts as Food.

In Morocco at certain seasons, entire
wagon loads Of locusts are brought
10 the market in Fee, because they
form a regular article of food Tor
the Moors who inlabit this part
of North Africa. Here. also, the
locusts are eaten in every style, pick
led, sailed, simply dried, smoke. or in
any other possible way, except raw. The
negroes on the northern coast OF Africa
prefer locusts to pigeons, and they eat
from two hundred TO three hundred at
"a sitting. They remove head, wings and
legs, boil them for half an hour in wa
ter, then add salt and pepper, and fry
them in vinegar. In a similar way lo-
Gusts are prepared at other points in
Africa and Asia. Preserved in salt
pickle they form staple article of
commerce Locusts in Africa are also
compressed. when fresh, in barrels, and
are then dished out like butter at
meal times

THE AsToR ESTATE.
How John Jacob Aston Started His
Manhattan Estate.

At the beginning of this century,
writes William Waldorf Aston in the
Pail Mall Magazine. John Jacob Astor
commenced buying plots of land in
Manhattan Island, having an early
prescience Of the growth Of the city by
which it is now almost covered. These
purchases were made with such judg-
ment in the line of approaching ex-
pansion as frequently to be sold again
after a few years for double or treble
what he had paid for them. With en-
1arged means these acquisitions Of real
estate assumed larger proportions, and
took in whole farms, which gradually
became covered with houses. To show
that this species OF farming as prac-
ticed with discrimination was not in
vain. it may be mentioned that one Of
these farms, purchased in 1871 for
E900, is now worth, with its improve
ments. G 400 600 An amusing notion
prevalent in America is that by some
queer rule of his descendants no pur-
chase has or ever can be parted with.
AS matter of fact, the estate books
record the sale of hundreds of plots of
land during the entire century, and 1t
should require no extraordinary acu-
men to perceive that so silly and mar
row-minded rule could only be imagin-
ed by very silly and narrow-minded
people.

The last three are now under the doc
tors care and it Is to be hoped that the
late frosfs viii check the fayages Of this
terrible maady
Now is there no local cause for all this?
Will not some Of our young medical
scientists investigate and asceTtainif posi-
bic the origin Of all this suffering. The
residents Of that section are becoming
alarmed. One Of the foremost residents
Of that section asks the Herald to
suggest that the authorizes appoint a
committee to probe into the matter.
When SAID committee is appointed
and. commence an investigation, we
would suggest that they employ'a small
force Of laboFing men to accompany them,
for the purpose Of digging down into the
Iremotest depths of these dumping
grounds. on the Boom Lands, where the
refuse Of creation is scattered promis-
cuousIy. within stone throw of the homes
that are now infested with the fever
plague.
For the sake of suffering humanity we
insist that this matter be attended to at
once before any more Of our citizens shall
be made to suffer. This dumping is done
inside Of our corporation and the requests
of the citizens living in that vicinity should
be needed.
