See That You Are Counted.

One Of the most important SUCCESS
lions yet made by the census bureau is
that of urging upon all persons who ex-
pect to be absent during the enumera-
ton. the Importance Of making some
provision for having themselves counted.
This will be an important matter to
Wheeling. The count OF the people be-
gins in all parts of the country June 1,
a time when many families either re-
move to the country, or individuals or
parts Of families go off on excursions,
The Intelligencer respectfully urges on
those contemplating absence at that
time that they take measures to have
themselves included in the count
Wheeling will need the count of every
'esldent Of the city to make credlta-
BILE showing, owing to the extensive mi.
grafton to the suburbs which has taken
place since the last census,
The circular OF the census office re-
ferred to relates that as persons and
families will he away from their homes

such persons will not be counted, II

WHEELiNG. MAY II, 1900.
Democratic Harmony(P)

We hear much from the Democratic
press Of the state about the alleged dis
sensions in the Republican ranks, but
they are very careful to cover up the
bitter feuds that are raging within their
own party. The ambition OF Col. John
T. MeGraw and his sportlye tricks with
the ballot box are responsible for the
bitter internecine contests that are 60
ing on within the Democracy, and they
have resulted so far in discreditlns him
as a leader. He made poor showing
in his own district at the recent election
Of delegates to the Kansas City conven-
ton, and the triumph Of the Chiffon
faction in the Third district convention
was the crowning act OF his humliia-
ton. This will place w. E. Chiffon in
the way OF obtaining the national com
craftsmanship of he desires II; and II
he does not want 1t he will see to It that
McGraw does not succeed himself.
These assertions are fortified by the
fact that the Chllton-Maccorkle wing
of the Democracy controls the Third
and Fourth district delegations, and
they have a comfortable working ma
jorlty in the other two districts. II
they don't want him to have anything
they will poison the cup that is offered
to him.
McGraw. 1t is said, is trying to bait
Governor MacCorkle with suggestion
that he be run for the legislature in
Kanawha county. but the governor is
loaded for him and his emissarles. and
It will not be well with any representa-
tives Of the whilom boss should they
make definite indication in that drec-
ton. Another feature OF Democratic
decentralization in the Third district was
the turning down OF our unreconstruct-
ed friend Albert Sidney Johnston, OF
Monroe county. and Dennis, OF the
Greenbrier Independent, gentlemen who
have served their party too well, as
delegates to the national convention.
Both went home mad after their defeat,
and It is intImated that they will, sulk
in their tents during the campaign and
let the former big Democratic
majoritles of Monroe and Green
brier take care of themselves.
On the whole, we see vast opportunity
for amusement in the campaign, and
the Republicans will have the laughing
end OF the situation.

Nnture,s Sowing Medlclnes.

That 1t IL necessary TO take n little
medicine in the spring Is one of those
beliefs to which we are attached, with.
out questioning ourselves as to the rea-
son why, The precise kind of medicine
taken depends largely upon family ira
dltIon; some place their reliance on one
remedy, some on another. Nature
whose remedies are not given perfume

in due course.and administers her doses,
Disgusting them in pleasant fashion.

dose of sulphur and iron, not to mem

good one. What pleasanter way can
we have Of taking these than as crisp

Business Conditions.

The situation in the stock market
during the week Just c.ozed presented
the same conditions that prevailed dur
ing previous weeks, irregulari;y con-
tlnulug to be the prominent feature. A
little out OF the ordinary was the move
ment in the early part of the week In
the decided depression in railroad
stocks OF the highest class as well as in
dustrials. The fluctuations on Mon
day, remarks the Financial Chronicle,
were wide. erratic and disturbing. even
the hIghest-prlced stocks declining
sharply. Tuesday the better railroad
properties recovered and were stronger,
they seeming on that day to move in
dependently of the Industrials which
were weak; whatever strength was ap-
parent was due, however. almost Who'll
ly 10 the covering Of short sales, on
Wednesday. under the lead Of the high
ast-priced stocks. almost the whole
market was strong and advancing;
there was some irregularlty in indus
trials, but little elsewhere. Since then
there has been a stronger market, and
railroad stocks have. rs 4 rule, adj
vanced. No essentially new influences
have been at work"
Business conditions in the country at
large continue to be extremely satisfac-
tory. while our foreign trade reveals a
most marvellous situation in favor of the
United States. April returns partnke OF
the same abnormal proportions hereto
fore shown In the reports of previous
months Says the Chronicle:
Neither the merchandise exports, which
were Sis, 526.iJ7, nor the net merchandise
balance, which was Si3,i5g. 7G5, has ever
been equlled In any previous April. In
deed there are but few months In any
year when the exports have been go large;
In the corresponding month last year the
exports were only SsS,Igi,Si3. or over '0b

Armor for Future Soldiers.

New Orleans Times Democrat:

by which they could approach within

aarlz Marriage mot the Happtest.


81 think" says Ella Wheeler Wilcox,
in the charming May Success, there
is more danger of disaster in early
marriages than In those contracted at
full maturity. The youthful choice is
apt to be unwise. The man whom n
girl thinks she loves at seventeen would
rarely appeal to her so strongly Il she
were twenty-five, and the girl whom q
man Of twenty-one believes he would
like to marry would probably not be
his selection II he were thirty. a knowl-
edge Of the world before marriage Is
conducive to contentuent afterwards.
The most unfortunate unions / have
known were formed while the husband
and wife were still in early youth. The
man. when he assumes the RESPONSE
bility Of matrlmony before he has
reached maturity, has had little or no
experience In the typical bachelor NE,
and Its attractions are likely to seem
much greater to him than II he has al
ready tested them. The wife who was
married very early also feels the
temptation to taste of life beyond the
prosaic domestic circle, although usual
~ In less degree than the man. She has
not experienced enough OF ballroom
and summer-resort flattery to have
wearied Of its emptiness There seems
to her to be gayety in life which she
whose youth has been devoted to home
duties has nevec known. with the result
that she, as well as her husband, be-
comes rrstless. Unless there are strong
ties and win power to keep husband
and wife who are In this mental condi-
ton to the road which leads away from
this temporary unrest, th2y may stray
into by-paths which lead to dissatisfac-
ton and ultimate misery. II Is COM
forting to know. however. that the
number OF unhappy marriages is small
compared TO the immense number OF
marriages.
