An innovation in Sleeping Car Service
introduced by the B. and o Railroad

Commencing Monday, February 18th,
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad will in
troduce new feature in its Sleeping
Car Service, between Baltimore and
Newark, Ohio, inaugurating what will
be known as the Ordinary" Sleeping
Cars, in addition to the regular Standard
Sleeping Cars. One of these cars will be
attached to Train No. Z, leaving Baltl-
more at p. m. and arriving in Newark
1922 a. m. next day, returning on Train
No. s, leaving Newark $50 p. m. and ar
irving in Baltimore II. % p. m. next day.
The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad is the
first line to introduce this service in the
eastern territory for special accommo-
dation OF the travelling public. In these
"Ordinary' Sleepers the Pullman rate is
reduced one-half, so that passengers
have the choice of paying the higher
Pullman rate and occupying Standard
Car or take advantage of the cheaper
rate and occupying the Ordinary
Sleeper
These cars are new, have been especi-
alls constructed for this service, and
differ from the Standard Sleeping Cars
only in being less deliberately furnished.
The seats are upholstered in rattan, and
the sleeping berths, when made up, have
all the comforts and conveniences of the
Standard Cars
Tickets will be on sale at regular Pull
man ticket offices handling business be-
tween these cities.

A Memorial to Mrs. Nancy 9. conkIYn.

The subject of this simple tribute OF
love and affection was born in Jefferson
county. Va, October 30, 1900, and en-
tered into rest February "A, 1898, at the
ripe old age of IS years. She was the
daughter of William and Mary Jinkins,
was married TO William IL. COnklyn
March II, 1881, by Rev. DR.. Tustin. She
and her husband both united together
with the CharleStOwn Presbyterian
Church under the ministry Of Rev. DR..
b. Dutton in 1859. She was the mother
Of nine children, four of whom, James
H, Charles G. and g. Mason, Of Jefferson
county, and William j., of Nebraska,
survive to revere and hold in tender and
loving remembrance the memory OF
their sainted mother. Truly she was a
tender and loving mother ever looking
after the comfort of her family, and now
that she has been called up higher, her
children arise up and call her blessed.
Though the idol has been removed, they
still kneel at the shrine Of Mother, the
sweetest name on earth, and cherish her
memory with loving affection.
Her sublime faith and trust in her Saw
Jour was evidenced by her beautiful tes-
timony and anxious desire TO be released
from her earthly sufferings, and be called
up higher to dwell with her blessed Saw
Jour. Her life was one worthy of emu
lation by those who are left, for it was
one of industry, integrity, frugality,
earnest solicitude for the welfare Of her
neigh bors, and tender care for the mem
berS of her own household. The com
munity in which she had spent her long
and useful life showed their love and es-
TEEN for Grandmother Conklyn,' as
she was endearingly called by her null
titude of friends, in hundreds of ways,
which was deeply appreciated by her,
and she would often eXClaim: 'Oh, the
love and kindness Of my dear friends ~
She is gone, but not forgotten.

CHICAGO, FEBRUARY Il, 1898.
EDITOR REGISTER In these days OF
mad rush for wealth, power or self-ad-
vancement it is a pleasing task TO chron-
icle the appreciation of unselfish friend
ship and true gentlemanly character.
For more than seven years Mr.. John +.
Welshans has been connected with the
greatest dry goods house in the world,
Marshall Field & Co.. Chicago. On Sat-
urday, February 18th, Mr.. Welshans re-
signed his position to engage in dry
goods business at Shepherdstown, W.
Va, with his son, Mr.. j. Louis Wei
shans, under the firm name of J. F.
Welshans & Son At the close of bust
ness, as he was about to bid goodbye to
those with whom he had been associated,
he was surprised by the presentation OF
an elegantly chased lockst with soli-
taIre diamond on one side and his mon
ogram upon the other. 1t was accom-
panied with a parchment roll upon which
was inscribed:

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that
contain Mercury,

as mercury will surely destroy the sense
of smell and completely derange the

damage they will do is ten fold to the
good you can possibly derive from them.

SINCE he has been in the guberna-
torial chair Governor Atkinson has
done a good many foolish things, but
usually his performances have been of
such character as to simply make
him ridiculous, rather than to injure
the State. His veto Of the bill levy
ing a tax upon express companies,
however, is, in our opinion, misuse
of his executive power that should
bring upon him the strongest con-
demnation of the people. For years
efforts have been made at every ses-
sion of the Legislature to pass meas
ures requiring the big corporations to
pay a Just proportion Of taxation, but
the Hobbies they send to Charleston
usually manage to prevent action.
Last week, after a hard struggle, the
Legislature passed bill levylng a
tax upon express companies doing
business in this State. 1t was VIC
tory for the people such as they do
not often win in there days Of official
corruption, and there was general sat
isfactlon at the result. Governor At
kinson has now deprived the people
of the fruits of their hardwon fight
by vetoing the bill. He gives the
very lame excuse that he thinks the
provisions of the measure are too Sc
we're.
We cannot see how Governor At
kinson can honestly turn against the
people of his own State and cater to
the wishes of these greedy and con-
scienceless monopolies, especially when
majority of the members of the
Legislature have fought so hard to
compel them to pay their fair share of
taxation.

A VERY remarkable document was
secured by Hon. John T. MeGraw at
Charleston last week. 1t was q petit
ton protesting against the seating Of
Hon. n. B. Scott as a Senator from
West Virginia, and charging that he
was not legally elected Senator, even
counting the votes of Senators Getz-
endanner and Pisrson. This petition
is signed by the forty-eight Democrat
ic members Of the Legislature and by
DR.. Haptonstall, the Republican MEM
Der who voted for General Golf. These
forty-nine petitioners constitute ma
jority of the ninety-seven constitution
al members Of the Legislature, and
they enter their solemn protest and
earnest remonstrance against the rev.
dictionary proceedings under which
minority of said body was declared to
constitute majority, and the unlaw
full proceedings of what was alleged
to be a joint convention for the election
of United States Senator.
This document will be laid before
the United States Senate, and will be
the basis of action seeking to prevent
Mr.. Scott from taking his seat in that
body. The outcome will be awaited
with interest by the people of West
Virginia.

Still More Counterfeiting.

The Secret Service has unearthed an
other band Of counterfeiters and secured
a large quantity Of bogus bills, which
are 50 cleverly executed that the average
person would never suspect them of be-
ing spurious. Things of great value are
always selected by counterfeiterS for inn
itati0n, notably the celebrated Hostel
ters S Stomach Btters, which has many
imitators but no equals for Indigestion,
nervousness and general debility. The
Bitters sets things right in the stomach,
and when the stomach is in good order
it makes good blood and plenty of it.
In this manner the BitterS get at the
seat of strength and vitality, and restore
vigor to the weak and debilitated. Be-
ware OF cOunterfeiters when buying.

Good deep blowing is the first requis-
ite in the production of good grain

If yon want yonr helfers to be good

be milked the first year up to within a

dried off early, the habit becomes go fix.

the same time year thereafter.
Flax straw makes good bedding fol
hogs. 1t dose not break up and get
dusty as qnickly as wheat or oat straw.
Dusty bedding tends to induce cough

moisture and keeps the bed dry.
Hog cholera is not the dread in oul
northwestern country, that is farther
south and east. although it has crept
across Iowa's north line, and we'll up
into southern Minnesota. One reason
we do not fear cholera so much, is,
that we do not have many hogs to lose
and another is, that, although corn is
becoming more sure and profitable
crop each succeeding year, hograising.
to any considerable extent, has not
proved paying business, and more
especially at the present low prices.
If the western farmer raises enough
hogs to supply his own family with
ham and bacon and lard, he is raising
about all that will yield him an appre-
ciable degree of profit 1t would be
better for him to turn his time and at
tention to cattle or sheep raising Al
most any kind of stock that does not
require grain ration the year around,
will, at the present prices, pay better
than hogs.
We have found it the most profitable
to have our calves come in February or
March. Good quarters should be pro-
vided, and as the tendency of the weat-
her, at this time of the year is toward
warmer, the little fellows grow right
along, and by the time grass comes they
are ready for it with fine appetite,
and are also strong enough, and big
enought, to withstand the heat and in
sect pests of mid summer, and, at the
beginning of cold weather again, are
if they have been rightly cared for

stand a deal of rough fall weather at
the straw stacks or in the stalk-fie Ids,
if they have warm comfortable sleeping
quarters. It will pay every time to
feed calves grain the whole of the first
year. beginning as soon as they will eat
meal from pail, and keeping it up
until they are year old, after this they
can do without grain while On grass,
but should be fed regularly, at least q
small amount of grain during the win
