gala county, for State Senator. which will
add strength to the already strong Dem.
ocra,ie ticket of Taylor county. Preston
aud Monongalia were represented by some
very solid men. The best men of these
two counties ate not all Republicans.
Prominent among them nigh, be mentioned
the Rolphsnyders and the Browns. One of
which is editor of the Kugwood ARGUS.
We were all very much disappointed that
the joint discussion between the two can.
didates for governor did not take place, on
account of a serious throat trouble ON the
part OF Mr.. White, the Republican candi.
date. and it was decided at Democratic
headquarters not TO put up a speaker, as 1t
would he taking advantage of the Repub.
lieans, as men of both parties would be in,
expecting Joint discussion, and the rules of
true Democracy is, do unto others as Won
would have others do unto YOU The Re
publeans were not SO easily satisfied, but
offered a compromise in the way of big
bird, w. ID. Bynum, of Indiana, who was
manager of a small side show along with
the Mckinley circus four years ago, and
exhibited Palmer and Buckner free. in order
to draw the crowd to the big show. lie
has dispensed with the side show and is
now doing his tumbling in the Mckinley
three ring circus, with Mark Hanna as
ring master. A part of this circus is in the
United States, another portion in the Phil.
ippines and the third division is travelling
in Europe. Mr.. Bynum came 10 Grafton
and talked up the show last Friday in the
opera house. lie was cheercd so lustil,
that It caused the building to trcmble.
Your correspondent aud some others being
attracted 10y the noise concluded to go up
and hear the great orator, and was very
much disappointed in him rs a speaker. II
was very evident that he had a bad case
and had no confidence in himself or his
hearers. Anyone could tell that his heart
was not IN his work, for there was no en-.
thusiasm about him. alt is from the full
ness of the heart that the mouth speakcth."
lie was yilifying Bryan, trying to uphold
the gold standard and the trusts, but every
word he spoke appeared to fall flat, with
no life in IT. His hearers were trying to
add strength to il by cheering 1t re.
minded us Of the story of two Irish gentle
men who came TO America aud were very
badly frightened by hearing the
noise made by some frogs, something they
had never heard on the "ould sod" It
being dark they imagined the noise came
from some very dangerous animals. One
said to The other 'you know you are brave,
go and see what kind of a haste il is" lie
yeniured up and soon his companion was
relieved by hearing him say "Jamie, il
isn't anything. It's nothing but n noise. +"
The moral of the matter is that no man
ought to SO through the strain and remorse
that Bynum does, even for gold.

Capt. Goodwin was held 10y alt, aud the
deep sympathy felt for his bercaved family.
Capt Goodwin was. apparently, in uu.
usually good health and spent Saturday

with them in his usual pleasant manner

the night he asked Mrs. Goodwin. who was
not very well, IL her ailment was preventing
her sleeping but when Sunday dawned
Mrs. Goodwin attempted to wake him. and
found him lying as If asleep, but the heart
forever stilled. There was no sign of the
slightest struggle he had evidently passed.

realities of another.
Joseph Madison Goodwin was born in
Preston county, April. 1897, and SO far as

was held, 10y being called to act officially in
positions OF honor and trust. In the civil
war he was Capt. of Company o. 9th w.

Morrpw's Kid-ne-olds, the scientific

daily gaining favor in Wheeling. No
medicine has ever been sold in Wheel
ing for kidney ailments, backache, ner-
vousness, sleeplesSness and general de-

vor as MorrOw's Kld-ne-oids. AL drug
glsts report most excellent results from
people who have used Kid-ne-olds, and
say: II will recommend them.
We give you the experience OF Mr.,
John Snider who lives at No. 1884 Chap
lire street. and says: II was troubled
with severe aching pains across the
small OF my back for some time, and
was generally run down; / had no life
or ambition, felt listless all the time
and had no appetite. I read where Nor
rows Kid-ne-olds would cure such
cases, and would build up the system
genrally, and as all druggistO gu0ran-
teed them to do Just as recommended
or refund the money I obtained some
and took them according to directions,
and they cured me entirely in q very
short time"
Now II MOrrow's Kid-ne-olds Will do
80 much for Mr.. Snitier, why not Try it
for yourself II annoyed with nervous
ness, slceplessness and any form Of kid
ney disorders? Rid-ne-oids cost only
fifty cents per box. and save many bod
lily aches and pains. They are not
pills, but Yellow Tablets, which Is the

cine. Kid-ne-pidS are put up in wooden
boxes, which contain enough for about
two weeks treatment, and can be pro-
cured at all drug stores,
