Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the larg
est sale of any medicine in the civilized
world. Your mothers aud grand
mothers never thought of using any
thing else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard Of Appendicitis, Nervous
Prostitution or Heart failure, etc. They
used August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation Of un-
digested food, regulate the action Of the
liver, stimulate the nervous and or
ganic action of the system, and that is
all they took when feeling dull and bad
with headaches and other aches. You
only need few doses of Green's August
Flower, in liquid form, to make you
satisfied there i nothing serious the
matter with you. For sale by II. {.

Napoleon, we are told, rejecting

preciating the power of numbers after
his downfall, looked oyer at China

never arouse her"

men as compared with other men
Read this in reply:
"A people that are capable of per-
forming labor in the tropics, the tenn
perate and the frigid zones and dis
tancing the native of each, and whom,
although they wear no starched linen
themselves. penetrate into every ma
ton and excel all competitors in starch
ing linen, will be found dangerous
competitors in any field they enter"
Such people may be "foeme1 worthy

1t is to be regretted that thousands
of miners, who work in the anthracite
district of Pennsylvania, should have
been induced or forced to quit work
at this season. We do not know much
of the merits Of the controversy, but
of this we are certain, that when they
demand the abolition of company
stores and that they should be paid in
cash for their hard work, they ask for
nothing unreasonable The employers
who would impose such iniquities on
laboring men, are unworthy their ser
vices.

WHO PAYS THE TAXES!

In answer to this question the Pc
tersburg hdcr-Appeai has this adml-
rable reply:
"There Is a dense and dangerous mis-
apprehension in the public mind con-
corning tins subject Of taxation. 1t l.
true only in certain sense that the
rich man pays the taxes. He l. the
channel through which the revenue
finds its way to the public treasury,
but it i, the productivity Of the fields,
the factories, the mills, the work shops
and the various industrial activities
that mrni>he the means TO pay
the taxes. Without the energizlng
power of labor the fields and factories
would yield no revenue, and the own
er, instead Of being rich man, would
soon become the most pitlable object in
the cOmmuuity-a laud-pOOr man.
The landlord talks big about the
amount of taxes he pays but what ell
ables him TO pay the taxes? His ten
ants, of course. la fixing the rent
levy he j. quite certain to provide for
the taxes, for the repairs to the prop
erty and for the interest on his invest
ment. The tenant pays all Of these
charges, aud the landlord escapes pay
ment of taxes even on his investment.
Suppose he had no tenants it would
then become a question Of time when
the delinquent taX-collector would sell
him out.
obviously there are two sides to
the important question, Who pays
the taxes ?'

Fourteen Mistakes.

An English paper gives list of
what it terms s.the IA mistakes Of
life. :" While there are undoubtedly
other mistakes than those mentioned
the list is fairly comprehensive one.
1t is a great mistake to set up our
own standard of right and wrong and
judge people accordingly: to measure
the enjoyment of others by our own;
to expect uniformity Of opinion in this
world; to look for judgment and ex-
perience in youth; to endeavor to
mold all dispositions alike: to look for
perfection in our own actions; to wor-
ry ourselves and others with what
cannot be remedied; not to yield in
immaterial matters; not to alleviate
all that needs alienation as far as lies
in our power: not to make allowances
for the intirmities of others; to consid-
er everything impossible that we can
not perform; to believe only what our
finite minds can grasp; to expect to
be able to understand every thing.
And the last and greatest mistake
of all is to live for time alone, when
any moment may launch us into eter-
nifty.

Flickersyille is Wondering.

People out at Flickersville are still
wondering what was at the bottom
of a strange case that recently took
place near their town A man whose
name and business was unknown
came there and remained for week
or so. After he had been there for
that length of time a woman came
on his track and took him away
with her. He made no resistance
but went with her as meek as Moses.
They are supposed TO have come
from Writ county Who they were
and what kind of string she had
on him the people out there do not
know and they have found out moth
ing since they left. Neither OF the
parties made any explanation when
they left.

OIL NOTES.
Operations In this County Recently
Have Been Very Satisfactory.

The following notes on the oil
business in this section have been
sent out by the Standard Oil PEG.
pie;
Operations on the west side of
the Piney Fork development in Wet
eel county have declined in the past
few months. Out of total OF -
wells drilling, only five are test
wells The work under way con
sists principally of developing inter
ior locations. II has been expensive
territory to operate, but has proved
exceedingly productive aud the wells
will make longlived producers.
The conditions, so tar as they re
late to ehe refinement of the territory
are somewhat different in the north
east extension of the Gampbell's run
development in Monongalia county.
Recent discoveries lead TO the con
clnsion that there is still a consider
able area OF territory to be drilled in
that locality.
The Gordon sand well, drilled in
on the Cole Il Tenant farm, on the
east side Of the Flat run develop
ment, in Monongalia county, and
owned by the South Penn Oil Com
pany, is much better producer than
when drilled into the first pay, last
Saturday. 1t starteE to flow at the
rate OF 10 barrels an hour. Satur.
day night it was drilled deeper, when
a second pay was encountered and
the production increased to 80 bar
rels an hour Last evening the well
was still flowing at the rate of 500
barrels day. The location is the
farthest to the east of any well drill
ed on that side of the development,
and unless it is a scratch it opens
up some new producing territory.
The same company has also drilled
in an important test well on the
John Shanes farm, near Blacksville,
Greene county, and located 1000
feet north of the same company s
producer on the Lantz farm. This
is new territory and the Shanes well
is making better than 100 barrels a
day. In the northeast extension Of
the Campbells run development,
near Cross Roads, Monongalia coun-
ty the South Penn Company has
drilled in its No 3, on the A. J..
Carrothers farm, and will have a
paving producer. The hole filed up
500 feet with fluid from the first pay.
