and then seeing the wild terror with
which Violante sprang up, he added,

He laid his huge hand upon the col

She heard the heavy changing steps of

cliff was before her. On she sped, wa

by-path, which Bernard had shown

moment in doubt. That was her safe

Low and faint as it was, il reached

The Asylum for Incurables, in

here to day and was assisting in
getting things started off in shape.
Half dozen little children were add

from the counties in the central part
of the state. There were large num-
Der of visitors at the institution to-
day and everyone is favorably i'm
pressed with the building, its ar.
rangements, surroundings, etc, and
it will prove Godsend to the many
unfoftunates over the state who have
in days gone by had no treatment
and in many instances no one to adj

anxious to ascertain the names of

Who Is to Blame?

Kidney trouble has become so prev
alent that it is not uncommon for a
child to be born afflicted with weak
kidneys.
If the child urinates too often, if
the urine scalds the flesh, or if, when
the child reaches an age when it
should be able to control the passage,
and it is yet afflicted with bed-wet-
ting, depend upon it, the cause of the
difficulty is kidney trouble, and the
first step should be towards the
treatment of these important or
gans. This unpleasant trouble is
due to diseased condition of the kid
neys and bladder and not a habit as
most people suppose.
If the adult has rheumatism; pain
or dull aches in the back, if the water
passes in irregular intervals or has a
bad odor; if it stains the linen or YES
sci the color of rust; if the feet swell;
if there are puffy or dark circles I'M
der the eyes; your kidneys are the
cause and need doctoring. Treat
ment of some diseases may be delayed
without danger, not so with kidney
disease.
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great
kidney, liver and bladder remedy,
promptly cures the most distressing
cases. Its mild and extraordinary eff
feet is soon realized. Sold by drug

A SUCCESS.
Episcopal Hall Has Proven Its
Worth BY Its Work.

Bishop Peterkin's Long headed Scheme
goes all Right-Thirty or More Boys
Have all the Delights Of Home--Thcy
are Looked After Better Than the
Students in Other Boarding iiouscs--
Good Record This Year.
The success of the Episcopal Hall
under the present management has
been very encouraging to the projec-
tors OF the experiment. Bishop Peter
kin has been strong advocate OF the
plan and has put his money into il to
show how much he believes in 1t. 1t
has been in charge this year OF Rev.
Winecoff the Episcopal rector.
About thirty boys are roomed and
boarded at the Hail. They have all
the care that they would have in case
they were at home and they have many
more Of the comforts OF life than boys
who room at private houses.
1t has been claimed that similar
scheme would not work and that tie
boys living in house this way could
not be controlled sufficiently to get
anything at all done. This claim will
not do in view Of the evident success
Of the Hall this year.
The order has been exceptional aud
the plan has proven that so far as the
order and the discipline are concerned
that 1t is all right. The people living
in the vicinity of the hall have no
complaints to make and they comment
on the gen ,lemanly behavior of the
young men who make it their home.
Other denominations are talking
OF making similar provisions for their
young men here and the future OF the
University depends In great measure
on the determination that is made in
this direction. In case they are hold
ing back for fear that the experiment
will be disastrous they are referred to
the institution that is already In sue
cessful operation.

The LIST w. Va. Infantry Foot Ball
Team win Another Victory.

COLUMBUS, Ca, Jan. 27.-The foot
ball team Of the First West Virginia
won decisive victory over picked
team Of citizens at this place to-day
by the score Of % to 0. This would
be nothing strange for West Virgin
ians, for since the organization OF the
team, early In the fall they have won
every game, and not an unusual effort
was made at this time to secure them
defeat. Soon after the Regiment
came to this city it defeated the local
team easily. Next the Virginians
played the Sd Kentucky team, which
it defeated by score Of % to 0.
This was regarded as quite victory,
as up to that time they had never
been defeated. The two victories fol-
lowing each other closely made the
local team determined to defeat the
Snakes, If 1t could be done. So for
several weeks they have been hunting
over Georgia and Alabama for talent,
and the team which opposed the
Snakes to-day was composed OF the
best men of the camps Of those two
states. But they were no match for
the West Virginians.
This is perhaps the last game the
Snakes will play.

1t is a story OF a murderer who de-
stroyed the body of his victim with
strong chemicals so completely that
not vestige Of the body could be
found. At the trial the attorney for
the defense merely asked.
"Where is your corpse?"
AS the evidence was all circumstan-

quit the prisoner.
The book was published early in

Deafness Jannot be Cured.

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deafness
is the result, and unless the inflam-
nation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out Of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.

Members Of the Board Of
Trustees.
President S. l.. Boyers, OF the West
Virginia Conference Seminary at
Buckhannon, is making tour OF the
State in the interest of that institu-
tion and is expected shortly in Char
lesion. He Is endeavoring to raise
funds for the Buckhannon Seminary.
The Bishops of the NJ. e. church of
the United States recently formulated
petition for what is called Given
tieth Century Thank Offering" The
church is in need OF $40, 900, 900 for
educational purposes, having control
OF about 200 deDominational schools
and universities and this money will
be devoted to clearing off the indebt-
edness and providing substantial en-
dowments.
In harmony with this appeal, the
trustees Of the seminary and presiding
elders of the West Virginia conference
have asked for 1925, 900, as this states
share Of the Twentieth Century Thank
Offering. or the 81 900, $50, 200 is
needed to pay off present Indebted
ness, 500, 900 for permanent endow-
ment fund, and SIS, 900 will be spent
for improvements TO the buildings.
Z Prof. Boyers was elected to the
presidency last June, and he will
spend the greater part of two years in
the field, soliciting subscriptions.
He stated In talk on the school,
that he believed West Virginia Meth
odists would rally in support of an in
stitution, which is under the control
of the West Virginia conference. The
school is growing splendidly since it
Inauguration in 1890. Last year thu
