any or all of them into the United
States, said he, was probable, unless
the proper precautions were taken Oy
the cities on the coast. He told of the
many times yellow fever had been III
troduced into cities On Atlantic and
gulf coasts because of the lack of prop
er quarantine laws, causing the death
of thousands of people. He urged the
necessity of national quarantine laws
for states and cities on the coast; the
entrance of these diseases could not be
guarded against unless there were ma
tional laws and measures to see that
the quarantine regulations were car
ried out.

This exhibition drew large crowds
yesterday and will no doubt continue
to do so, as people who have viewed
the monster have found it to be as
represented-a big fin-back whale, 60
feet in length, weighing when captur-

The animal has been ambalmed and
brought all the way from the sea coast
by water. BY paying this monster a
visit and having 1t explained to you,
you will learn more about these won
derful sea animals than reading many
books. 1t will be on exhibition the
entire week and can be seen day or

TUESDAY, JULY 3. 1900.
School Board Meeting.

Fultonburg is to have a new school
house. It will be built on the Pike
and the contract was awarded to Coch-
Ian & Hupp by the Board of Education
last evening at their bid Of $2,961.
Since the meeting Monday, June 20,
when the bids for this work were op-
ened, and there was difference of
81, 100 between the highest and lowest,
the Board thought best to have the
matter carefully looked after to see IL
the estimate had been placed too high
or IL the lowest bidder had made a
mistake, as he said.
The committee made some inquiry
and did some figuring on the work,
with the result that they reported the
bid of s2,961 as being near fair, rea-
sonable estimate for the work accord
ing to the plans and specifications.
1t was therefore decided best not to
consider the bid of $1,S27 and the con-
tract was awarded to Cochlan & Hupp.
The bond Of the contractors was ac-
cepted and the Clerk ordered to draw
up the contract.
Messrs. Cochlan & Hupp offered $50
for the stone steps of the High School
building. On motion the offer was ac-
cepted.
Among other matters considered by
the Board was the matter of paying
enumerators on the West Side who
thought $12 was insufficient. After
some argument, the compensation was
raised to $14.
The resignation of Miss Laura M.
Meister, dated June 27, was read and
accepted.
Several other minor matters were
considered, a few bills allowed and the
meeting adjourned.

The story of love Is as old as the world,
and as all embracing as the universe. II
furnishes the sentiment for all romances--
all novels-all plays.
The novelist considers il wholly from the
sentimental, intellectual side, but there Is
another aspect even more important-the
physical side. Sentimental love between
men and women leads to close physical as
sociation-to marriage-to the rearing of
children. And so health must be consid-
cred weak, sickly, head-achey, back
achey woman cannot be a good, helpful
wife. She cannot bear healthy happy
children. She cannot give her children
the proper care and training.
A sick woman has no right to marry. A
sick woman has no right to attempt moth
erhood.
But no woman need be sick unless af.
ficted with cancer. There is a sure way
for her to regain her health. She need not
go to local doctor and submit to the dis
agreeable questionings, examinations I"
and local treatments so invariably in
sisted upon, and so justly abhorrent to
every modest woman.
DR.. r. V. Pierce, of Buffalo N. Y, has
cured more cases Of female weakness than
any hundred local practitioners He has
proved that diseases distinctly feminine can
be cured right in the privacy of home.

Judgment For Plaintiff in I'm
portant Oil Suit.
Parkersburg News:

Parkersburg News:
The big case of o. e. Latshaw VS..
South Penn Oil Company, which has
occupied the time of the United States
Court for the past week, came to a
close yesterday afternoon shortly after
o'clock.
The jury returned a verdict for the
plaintiff, fixing the amount of dam
ages assessed at $10,76S. Latshaw
sued for $1,000 damage and interest
since 1895, but the jury compromised
on the above amount
In October, 1894, Latshaw secured
a contract from the South Penn to
drill well on the Pritchard farm, two
miles from Warrington. 1t was to go
to the Gordon sand unless iol was
found in paying quantities at lesser
depth.
After drilling about 140 feet Lat
shaw was stopped and he was told the
rig would be moved about 1900 feet
and that he should drill second hole,
the company settling with him for the
work already done.
The second hole was drilled to a
depth of 1886 feet when the tools we're
stuck by cave. z~
The circumstances surrounding this
occurrence was the vital point in the
case.
At about this point the Gordon sand
is found and on top Of it liner, or
small string of casing 500 feet long
and extending up to the casing above
it is put in the wells in that field to
shut off caves.
Latshaw, when he reached this
depth, reported the fact to the comp
any and was preparing to put in a
liner, as he believed he was on top of
the Gordon sand.
He was told by the company's SUI
perntendent that he was not deep
enough for the Gordon, that he was in
the stray sand just over the Gordon,
and to drill the hole deeper. 1t was
while he was engaged in this that he
stuck his tools.
This was in February, 1895, and
from then until late in the fall he
fished for the tools. He never recov-
cred them and was never paid for the
we'll, the company claiming he had not
fulfilled his contract.
Latshaw claimed that he was not
drilling under any contract, the one
entered into having ended with the
abandonment of the first hole, and
tina the trouble was due to misinfor-
nation on the part of the company
telling him to drill deeper after he
was in the Gordon sand
Iatshaw produced a wealth of evil
dence to show that he had been drill
ing in the Gordon sand, claiming that
the oil which loosened the earth and
caused it to cave was from that sand,
while the defendant company produced
an equally large amount of evidence to
show that the we'll had not reached the
Gordon sand when Latshaw said 1t had
