4 Timely Health Warming

Parkersburg Is somewhat stirred Mn
over the development Of three cases or
cerebro-spinal meningitis in that city.
Although the disease Is not regarded ms
contagious. though 1t Is infectious, be-
Ing OF microbic origin. the public, which
Is always apt to confuse the two terms,
nave become panic stricken. The lead.
Ing physicians of Parkersburg, through
the press. are allaying the nervousness
that exists. which they say Ia unneces
sary. as but three cases have devslop-
cd, two OF them proving fatal. These
physicians are giving. In view OF tho
concern which has been aroused, some
good and timely advice to the public.
The State Journal states, on the advice
OF physicians, that while there Is no
occasion for panic. ut is no reason
why people should not be exceedingly
careful of themselves and surround
ings."
This Is good enough advice for peo
pie In all communities. particularly at
the beginning of the warm seasons
when disease germs find encouragement
where sanitary rules are neglected,
Once In awhile, say the Parkersburg
advisers. ccrcbro-spinal meningitis. like
other germ maladies, becomes epidemic,
and thrlvcs on fifth and dirt. Clcanli-
ness Of the body and premises, keeping
all surroundings free from dccaylng

but OF all other germ diseases.

Deafness Cannot be Cure.

By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There Is only one way to cure deafness,
and that Is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness Is caused by an inflamed con-
dition Of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing. and when 1t Is en-
tirely closed deafness Is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to Its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition Of the mucous sur
faces.

The Move on Calumpit

The important movement being made
by the Americans to capture the new
capital established by Aguinaldo's float
Ing government" and occupied by n
largo force under the personal COM
mand OF the leader himself. judging
from the plans that are outlined in the
dispatches, but which are given out
only so far rs wisdom will permit. bears
all the carInarks Of an intention to
strike q decisive blow. The expedition
is reported to be well equipped for the
campaign, and good results may be ex-
pected.. In fact they are already occur
ring.
The official dispatch received from
Otis yesterday, announcing the opening
Of the fighting, is followed by press re-
ports that Hnle's brigade. In MacAr-
thurs division, and the remainder of
the command, have invested Calumpit,
and are in control Of the situation.
The details in this mornings Manila
dispatches show how desperately the
Filipinos are fighting to avert the def
mite results of the campaign which will
follow the fall OF the stronghold, every
foot Of the ground before the trenches
being contested.
The splendid assault made by the
American forces. while It was done at
the expense of six killed and twenty
eight wounded. accomplished the main
purpose Of routing the enemy from the
trenches and gave MacArthur's COM
mand decided advantage, which wifi
be followed up. Some brllian. achieve
ments by various commands are noted,
and when 1t is considered that the Fill
ipinos were so strongly entrenched and
organized. the work In the first days
fighting may be regarded as n notable
success. Otis reports the progress of
Lnwton's division, which Is to assault
the rebel forces from another direc-
ton.
The whole country will be Interested
In this double movement. and 1t will be
watched by military authorities gener-
ally in Europe. Should 1t meet with the
success expected the hardest blow yet
delivered Will be dealt the insurgent
commander. The successes which have
accompanied the plans heretofore car
ried out. warrant the expectation that
something will drop. With such men
as Macarthur and Lawton In command
OF the respective operations. and the
brisades of Generals Hale und Wheaton

Senator Scott, who is shaking hands
with his friends and fellow citizens in
Wheeling this week. is not worrying
bit over the future. Good times are
growing better, the political atmosphere
Is healthy. particularly in view OF the
badly mixed up condition of the sew
eral factions Of the Democracy over the
matter.,o search for issues upon
which they can all unite. The senator
doesn't talk about the protest which Is
to'be filed by Col. McGraw against his
title to seat In the senate, because he
doesn't regard 1t as n matter Of any
special moment.

This State Among the Victims.

The developments of the great coun-
terfciting conspiracy are growing In
magnitude daily. The further the in
Vestlgation goes the more startling are
the facts and the more remarkable
seems the boldness with which the plot
was conducted. The serious feature to
dealers who were deceived into laying
In large stocks OF cigars with the bogus
stamps upon them is that they may
possibly be obliged to suffer the loss,
in some cases the sum being very large,
This Is q matter yet to he decided.
West Virginia dealers, including some
In Wheeling. did not escape. but have
come In for their share. a number Of
them having beer victimized. 1t seems
that the operations OF Jacobs and his
compatriots in the work reducing the
government revenues took In a very
large part Of the country. The outcome
OF the cases with all their sensational
features will be watched with interest.

The West Virginia encampments Of
the G. A. R.. the Women's Relief Corps,
and the Sons Of Veterans, will hold
their annual conventions on a mountain
top this week-at Terra Alta 1t is a
little early ln.the. season and H. apt to
be somewhat chilly at such an altitude,
but the warmth OF the patriotic spirit
that prevails in the hearts OF the old
veterans. their wives and daughters
and sons will more than balance slnnll
discomforts of this nature. The white
haired old heroes learned long ago that
weather conditions do not interfere with
the ardor Of such an occasion, and the
younger generations have inherited the
spirit of the fathers.

4 Disgrace and n Blot.

Pittsburgh Dispatch: The almost in
conceivable brutality displayed in the
lynchinS of the colored iiend. Hose. and
the little less revolving murder Of
Strickland have shocked the entire ma
ton. OF course. there are apoIogist.s In
the south for the mob. but there will be
few found elsewhere 10 approve of such
doinSs. y hanging without legal sane
ton can be understood If moi condored,
but the Internal savagery Of torture by
mutilat!on. burning at the stake and
subsequent tearing TO pieces of the
dead body of the victim is intolerable
to any rightly constituted mind. 1t Is
disgrace TO civilization and a blot
upon the fair name Of the United States.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

No woman ever learned how hard It
is not to say IT told you So"
Most men aren't worth the trouble
women take to get them, but few are
worth about half as much.
Every girl has certain period when
she spends most OF her time looking at
things you can't see.
When man never kisses his wife un-
less she asks him to, 1t Is generally i
sign that he never has to ask her to.
No man can really tell whether an
other is q conscientious Christian or not
until he has been around when he puts
the wrong end of his penholder In his
mouth BY mistake. She can tell then by
the way he looks right after he has said

When the prince, fails then let the
country mourn. We look to princes for
noble deeds and high example. When

Xheclinc and the d. so.

1t Is welcome news In the promises of
the Baltimore & Ohio officials that
Wheeling is to have q new passenger
station that will last for all time" and
other improvements which will require
the expenditure OF a large amount of
money. within few months. 1t has
been somewhat disappointing that SO
Important n shipping point US Wheel
ing, and one which furnishes SO much
travel to the road has had to wait so
long for, n passenger station commensu-
rate In size. convenience and In other
respects with that Importance.
1t was natural for the people here to
be somewhat impatient about the sta
ton matter, and that is why 1t Is that
the people and the business interests Of
the community are pleased that the
present management Of the road exhib-
Its that consideration for Wheeling so
happily referred to by President Quar-
rter OF the chamber Of. commerce. in
his talk with Mr.. McCubbin on Monday.
What the Baltimore & Ohio manage
ment is doing all along the line in the
way OF improving the system cannot
fail to be Of benefit to this city in
many ways, especially II reports Of con-
'tcmplated increased facilities here, and
OF the purpose to take Wheeling of a
sidc-track are true, and there is reason
to believe that they are true. To be
placed on the through line between
Pittsburgh and Chicago Is an adyan-
tage In Its way.
The progressiveness which has char
.acterized the present management OF
the road on general lines OF rehabilita-
ton and improved facilities has almost
revolutioniZed the system and has tend
ed to increase Its popularity with the
travelling public. Judging from what
has been done and is being done in the
betterment Of the line, and what Is con-
.templated. the system Will be better
equipped than the most sanguine
prophet Of very few years since would
have dreamed of. Wheeling. which Is
one OF the most important shipping
points and greatest contributors Of ton
mage between the east and west, on the
main line. cannot fail to renp her share
OF the benefit. In the meantime she is
willing TO exercise little more patience
concerning new passenger station. in
view Of the outlook for the future.
