see his child, then very sick with
Group. Not hnding the doctor In, he
left word for him to come at once on
his return. He also bought a bottle
OF Chamberlain's Cough Remedy,
which he hoped would give some relief
until the doctor should arrive. In q
few hours he returned saying the doc.
tor need not come, as the child was
much better. The druggist, Mr.. Otto
Scholz, says the family has since rec
commended Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy to their neivhbors and friends un'

DEATH OF MRS. NATHALIE A. r.
LEVIN.

Death is sad, and we have had good
reason to experience its sadness. For
months the wife of Capt. Leonard Levin
lay sick of %grievous sickness. Little by
little she wasted away until Monday at
4:f0 p. M, when the Angel of Death
called her and babe her soul release, and
she peacefully passed away in the pres
ence Of her sorrowing relatives and q
large number of mourning friends, aged
80 years, 8 months and IA days.
The husband has lost q wife whom he
had reason to love, the children q
priceless treasure, which can lever be
repaid-the home Is homeless. OF the
esteem in which she was held by the
people who knew her, it is not necessary
to speak. The number Of Borrowing
friends that gathered at her home were
augmented at the Lutheran church, and
were increased again at the cemetery,
are words enough.
My sincerest sympathy goes with the
sorrowing relatives and friends. May
the Comforter comfort them.
Her Pastor, G. 0. SMITH,
Pastor Ev. Lutheran Church.

The ANNUAL
FACTORY

There is a Distinct Improvement in
Factory Conditions Since the
Summer of 800.
HIGHER WAGE, MORE EMPLOYEES

Amclioratc Conditions in
Factories.

State, Labor. Commissioner Isaac v.
Barton Is spending ten hours daily in
the annual factory inspection provided
by he,laws OF the state, and he said
last evening that at least six weeks
would beTeQuired for Inspection of the
several hundred establishments in the
two Pan Handle counties of Ohio and
Marshall.
Commissioner Barton says that he
can see a distinct Improvement in fac
tory conditions In Wheeling since the
last Estate Inspection, and he spoke par
.ticuiariy In terms of praise of three
large establishments here where both
malessand females are employed, where
the arrangements have provided for
the comfort Of the employees humane
.ly and intellIeentl;'. In each Of these
establishments the employees have the
opportunity Cheating o'c!p,k lunch
In the morning. n practice that is
coming into general vogue in factories
over the country. owing to the fact
that employees generally have to snatch
4 bite or. two carly In the morning be-
fore leaving their homes. and as n con-
sequence are nearly lamished IL their
stonlAchs have no relief before noon.
One, effect. OF this Innovation Is better
service from employees.
In some establishments. both manu-.
featuring and mercantile tie commits
sloner finds an almost entire absence
OF toilet conveniences for fe.nale en-
ployes, and in one case there was such
flagrant indifference TO employees ae-
cessities that the commissioner has de-
clded to report the matter to the West
Virginia. Humane Society. He takes
this action for the reason that the state
laws, gives the labor commissioner no
power. to enforce better conditions, eX-
cept through the act Of the Legislature
establishing the. state humane society
The, commissioner has prepared BILL
which he will have presented toithc
next Legislature. giving him nower to
enforce hotter conditions in, .manufac-
turing and mercantile, esta bllshments
as affecting employees. He Will also
prepare y bill compelling mercantile
establishments to provide seats for fe-
male employees; for use when they are;
not engaged in their duties.
As whole, the commissioner states
that he finds more people employed
here now than at the time Of his annual
report, January l, and In some in
stances there have been increases in
wages since then. notably In the sto-
gle Industry, affecting several hundred

flooded. Three houses were carried
fivm their foundations and iioated
down the stream with the torrent.
: Many foundations were washed away
and the houses upset. The miners and
their families who had taken refuge In
