There was 4 sensational assault in
nfoundsville yesterday, growing out OF
i publication in the Echo, the enter
nrisinr Democratic newspaper OF that
CIV and no little excitement was
caused by the affair. The article which
lea to the trouble was a comment upon
congressman Dovener's appointment OF
MRS. Bratton to a government posi-
tion, coupled with the statement that
she was transferred from a place in the
Moundsville postofice. The Echo call
cd attention to the fact that the lady
had never been employed in the
Moundsville ~postofice, and was not
known in that city.
The publication evidently aroused
the anger of Will Dovener, son of the
Congressman from the First District.
Yesterday he went to Moundsville from
this city. and calling at the Echo office,
asked for the editor. Mr.. j. d. Shaw
admitted that he wrote the article. and
showed MT. Dovener a copy OF the
Washington Post containing the an
nouncement of the transfer. upon which
the Echo article was based.
Mr. Dovener was not satisfied with
the explanation, and expressed his dis
satisfaction in language very forcibIe
and the reverse Of polite. He left the
once, however. Within a short time
be returned. Mr.. Shaw was standing
upon the sidewalk in front of his Of
ace.
Just what passed between the two
could not be learned. Mr.. Dovener was
evidently very angry. The discussion
Terminated in an assault by Mr.. Dove
I ner. Mr.. Shaw was struck and knock
ed down. He is about seventy years
age, and was physically unable to
dofend himself against an Antagonist
who had the advantages of youth and
muscular strength.
After knocking Mr.. Shaw down, Mr.
Dovener is said to have hurriedly
Jumped upon a street car, and left fol
Wheeling. A crowd gathered within
short time. Mr.. Shaw was assisted t.
his feet. but a search for his assailan
brought to light the fact that he hat
departed. Men of all political parties
denounced the assault. The RegisteI
was informed over the phone that
lumber of the young men who heart
OF the assault, several Republican
among them, made open threats o
violence against Mr.. Dovener, on &C

! the securing of sufficient vessel tonnage
to transport the coal.

Sores and Ulcers never become chronic
upless the blood is in poor condition lis
sluggish, weak and unable to throw of
the poisons that accumulate in it. The
system must be relieved of the unhealthy
matter through the sore, and great danger
to life would follow should it heal before
the blood has been made pure and healthy
and all impurities eliminated from the sys-
TEN. SIS. begins the cure by first cleans
ing and invigorating the blood, building
up the general health and removing from
the system A CONSTANT DRAM
stfsse matter UPON THE SYSTEM.
When this has been accomplished the dis
charge gradually ceases, and the sore or
ulcer heals. 1t is the tendency Of these old
indolent sores to grow worse and worse,
and eventually to destroy the bones. Local
applications, while soothing and to some
extent alleviate pain, cannot reach the seat
of the trouble. S. S. S. does, and no matter
how apparently hopeless your condition,
even though your constitution has broken
down, it will bring relief when nothing
else can. 1t supplies the rich, pure blood
necessary to heal the sore and norrish
the debilitated, diseased body.
