ONLY a DOG.

But His Evidence Was Sufficient to
Hold Three Men to the Grand
Jury.
Special to the Register.
PARKERSBURG, W. Va, April 3d.
A mongrel cur which answers to the
name of Rover was the star witness
for the State in a case before Squire
Drennen this afternoon. Though only
a dog and unable to speak, his testi-
mony wal sufficient, in the eyes of the
Justice, to hold three prisoners for the
grand jury. AS stated in the Register
at the time, burglars were driven away
from Lewis Miller's home n night
last week. They left a sack of plumber,
guarded by a dog. He was vicious and
faithfully defended the sack till he
was lassoed. Suspicion was directed
to Wallace Ritchey, who, with his son
Charles and a colored boy, Frank
Jones, was arrested. At the hearing
to-day the dog vas brought in. He
barked and leaped for joy when he saw
Ritchey and the boys, and on this evi-
dence they were held for the grand
jury. A younger son, Clarence, told
the Squire that he had been with his
father on several occasions and told
the names of persons they had robbed.
Several hundred chicken heads and
legs were found at Ritchey's home, ex-
planning the midnight robberies of
many hen rOoSts.

EXCELLENT RESULTS.
THEY HAVE RESULTED IN A
STEADY GAIN OF POPULARITY.
People Who Are Ever Ready to Rec
ommend What Has Done Them
Much Good.

Morrows Kid-ne-oids the scientific KID
ney remedy and backache cure. is daily
gaining favor in Wheeling. No medicine
has ever been sold in Wheeling for kid
ney ailments, backache, nervousness,
sleeplessness and general debility that has
gained such popular favor as Morrow's
Kid-neoids.
We give you the experience of Mrs. {.
w. Thirlow. of 1912 Market street, who
recommends Kid-ne-oids as follows: Il
nave been suffering from disordered kid
neys almost all my life. and was never
able to get anything that would cure me.
The doctors said my disease was consti-
tutional kidney trouble and that l would
never be well again, as my case was in
durable. / suffered constantly with an
aching pain across the small of my back
and the discharges of the kidney secre-
lions were at times excessive and at other
times very frequent, but scant and at
tended with pain.
Il had about given up all hope of ever
getting well, believing the doctors were
right when they said my case was incur
able, when I read about Morrow's Kid
ne-oids and where they had cured just
such cases as mine. AS all drug stores
guarantee them to cure or refund the
money, l secured them and began using
them according to the directions. 1t was
remarkable how quickly they gave me re-
lief from the distressing pains across my
back and the other troubles as well. They
are all the manufacturers claim for them
without any doubt."
Morrow's Kid-ne-oids are not pills, but
Yellow Tablets, and are put up in wooden
boxes, which contain enough for about two
weeks treatment and sell at fifty cents
a box at all drug stors. A descriptive
booklet will be mailed upon request by
John Morrow & Co., Chemists. Springfield.
