Beware of Ointments for Catarrh That
Contain Mercury,

as mercury will surely destroy the sense
o. smell and completely derange the
whole system when entering it through
the mucous surfaces. Such articles
should never be used except on prescrip-
tions from reputable physicians, as the
damage they will do is tenfold to the
good you can possible derive from them.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. j. Cheney Il Co., Toledo, o., contains
no mercury, and is taken internally, act
ing directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system. In buying Halls
Catarrh Cure be sure you get the gen
uine. 1t is taken internally, and made
in Toledo, Ohio. by T. J. Cheney & Co.

THE DEW EYS.

Admiral Dewey has formally an
nounced that he is a candidate for the
presidency of the United States.
He isn't particular what ticket he
runs on.
He says he thinks he is Democrat.
He says he has never voted the
Democratic ticket, but he once felt as
though he would like to vote for Gro
yer Cleveland.
He thinks that the office of Presi-
dent is simply an executive one, and
that it ought to be simple thing to
see that the laws passed by Congress
are carried out, and the President
needn't worry about other affairs.
He will issue a statement to the
people at some future date.
Mrs. Dewey is believed to be the
inspirer of the Dewey boom.
The Admiral looks to her for ad-
vice when knotty questions are pro-
pounded to him.
Mr,, Dewey, it is said, will leave
the Catholic church and become an
Episcopalian,
She wants to run the White House.
The candidacy of Admiral Dewey
has not been received with enthu-
siasm, 1t is generally ridiculed.
Mark Hanna says the announcement
should have been made on the first
day of April-All Fools day. The
leading men of both parties think
Dewey campaign would be farce.
His numerous acts of childishness since
he came home from Manila have been
overlooked, but as a candidate he
would be mercilessly exposed, his
popularity has been steadily waning
for months past, and his wife has al
ways been unpopular.
The announcement of his candidacy
has disguised vast majority of the
people who looked upon Admiral
Dewey as hero.

THE board of regents Of the West
Virginia University met at Morgan
town last week, fingered few days,
and then adjourned and went home
without having settled the difficulties
between the president and members
of the faculty. Further, they refuse
to give out the truth concerning the
action taken by them, and the people
have to depend on the information
that has leaked out. 1t is stated the
regents declined to summarily dismiss
the professors recommended for slaugh-
ter by DR.. Raymond, whersupon the
latter rendered his resignation, One
story says that the resignation was
accepted, to take effect the first of
next October, while another says that
all action in regard to the trouble
was carried over until the June meet
ing of the board. Regents Sturgiss,
Mcmahon and Brown were appointed
committee to investigate the charges
against the professors and report at
the next meeting. The most intense
feeling has been stirred up and the
failure of the regents to settle the dit
hculties will tend to continue an agi-
tation that must be detrimental to the
institution.
A recent report from Morgantown
says that the following is the text of
President Raymond's resignation,
which was laid on the table without
action:
Gentlemen: l hereby place in your
hands my resignation of the presidency
of the West Virginia University. am
moved to do so, and thus give up some
of the most deeply cherished hopes Of my
life, because | see no prospect of final
success in my work. 1t is impossible to
build up a university save on the basis
of sound morals and sound scholarship
with the generous cooperation Of those
engaged in the work. have asked the
removal of certain men known to you
and to me and to the community at
large to be grossly deficient in one or
all of these regards. This demand your
| honorable board has refused TO grant
for reasons which | cannot deem sufti-
cient therefore ask you to relieve
me of the responsibility for the conduct
of the university, this act to take effect
| June p, 1900.
Very respectfully,
JEROME II. RAYMOND.

wireless telegraphy is the greatest dis

Robbed the Grave.

A startling incident, of which Mr..
John Oliver, of Philadelphia, was the
subject, is narrated by him as follows :
Il was in a most dreadful condition.
My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken,
tongue coated, pain continually in back
and sides, no appetite-gradually grow
ing weaker day by day. Three physi-
clans had given me up. Fortunately,
friend advised trying Electric Bitters;
and to my great JOY and surprise, the
first bottle made decided improvement

and am now a we'll man. l know they
saved my life, and robbed the grave of
another victim" No one should fail to
try them Only Scots, guaranteed, at

The Board of Directors Of the Wes-
ton Insane Asylum had meeting last
week, and after transacting routine
business adjourned, leaving the noto-
rious DR.. Stathers as superintendent
Of that institution. DR.. Stathers, it
will be remembered, under pressure,
handed in his resignation last fall.
The directors, however, have not yet
been able to agree on his successor,
and SO he holds on.
The obvious duty of the directors
is to tender their designations also, as
they seem to be unable to put the
proper sort Of man in charge, but
they are waiting to be fired out, which
must surely happen when the admin
istration changes. 1t is shame and
a disgrace that this man should be
retained in Office, and Governor At
kinson and his board of directors are
responsible fer it.
