JUsTa as the REGISTER predicted, the
people of the Valley of Virginia will
get no relief from the exorbitant rates
Of the Southern Railway by the On
struction of competing line by the
B. & O. Railroad. The residents of
the Valley made strong effort to in
terest the B. & o. in the building of q
line between Strasburg and Harrison
burg, but President Cowan has Just
written them a letter which tells them
that there is not the remotest possibil-
ity of his road taking up the matter
at this time.
1t may possibly come as shock to
some persons, but the fact cannot he
denied that the policy Of the majority
In the United States has brought about
that condition of public affairs when
there is absolutely no hope that COM
petition will relieve the people from
the outrages perpetrated upon them
by these corporations. On the con-
trary, the continued consultations of
railroad lines and the manipulations
by the financial leaders will continue
to add to the burdens of our shippers.
The people are getting what they
voted for-with vengeance.

The Holland Submarine Boat.

All our readers are familiar with the
Holland submarine boat, with which it
is possible to 60 about completely under
water. If the enemy have big war
ship lying in strongly fortified harbor,
the boat can be submerged and make
its way to the ship, place powerful eX-
plosive under it, and blow it to pieces
without appearing above water. While
this boat secretly destroys ships of the
enemy, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters like
wise attacks and OvercomeS dangerous
diseases. a few doses will give relief
in any stomach or liver disorder The
Bitlers not only cure the sick, but pre-
vent the well from becoming sick. 1t
should be taken by all who need a
strengthening tonic.

The REGISTER recently had an ex-
perience with newspaper advertising
agency that may prove interesting,
perhaps beneficial, to our brethren of
the press. A certain New York agen-
cy applied for considerable space for
a client well able to pay a fair rate.
The agency, however, offered an in
significant sum for the work. We
promptly refused and named price
in which there was good profit. They
came back with an offer of slight in
crease over their first proposition. We
again named the price we wanted.
The agency made another concession.
We refused and repeated our first price
The firm then made final offer, as
they said, and we made final pro-
posal that was the same as our first.
1t was declined, and more letters passed.
We never deviated IN any way from
our first price, and the upshot was
that the agency agreed to our terms.
We just mention this to show that
there is no necessity for the newsPa-
pers of West Virginia to permit them
selves to b. robbed by advertising
agencies. If all of the publishers will
hold out for fair rates from these fell
lows they will be forced to accept
terms. 1t is time to let them know
that all country editors are not clans.

of his never having consulted a Bishop

my course.

Is disease as old as antiquity, and as
young as the newest born infant.
1t has infested the blood Of humanity
from ancient times down to the pres
ent minute.
1t is hereditary or may be acquired.
1t appears in swollen glands, scrof-
ulous sores, hip disease, boils, pimples,
eruptions, and, as believed by high
authorities, even in the forms Of catarrh
and rheumatism.
1t can be cured by taking Hoods
Sarsaparilla faithfully and persistently.
We know this, because Hoods
Sarsaparilla has done it.
1t will cure you if you give 1t trial.
You should begin to take it today.
Hip Disease suffered from hip
disease, had running sores; used clutches
and each winter 1 was confined to my bed
for weeks at a time. Hoods Sarsaparilla
has accomplished perfect cure-saved my
life. l have a good appetite and feel strong

ula and sores appeared in her eyes. A few

cured her and she has never had scrofula
since" MRS. HOWARD Pope, Alpha, Oregon.

parilla do not be induced to buy any other.

THERE have recently been rumors
which have evidently good deal of
truth behind them that arrangements
are afoot for the consolidation of all
the railroads in the eastern section of
the United States. 1t is practically
the case now that the people are at
the mercy of the railroads, but if the
proposed scheme goes through there
will be absolutely no relief from the
exactions of these soulless corpora
tons.
To those persons who have ever held
up their hands in holy horror at the
suggestion of government ownership
of railroads it must be apparent that
it would be a thousand times better
to have these great arteries of COM
merce managed by the government
that controlled by the greedy and
mercenary and unapproachable money
kings who never have had and never
will have any consideration for the
rights of the people.

Prayer ShOp,

There is a prayer shop in San Fran
cisco located in upper Delaware
street. 1t is a Chinese enterprise.
Three or four Chinese make a good
living selling guaranteed prayers and
charms to the religious and supersti-
tious among their countrymen.
Prayers for any purpose and any occa-
sion can be purchased there; enough
to insure the eternal felicity of the
most hardened sinner can be obtained
for a dollar or two. In addition, as
the man at the counter will assure you,
there is not device of the devil that
cannot be met by some of the wax or
paper charms that they have displayed
for sale. One of their number makes
it a regular business to go forth and
vend prayers of every description and
his business is well patronized. If
ever, in travelling through Chinatown,
you see man peddling great bundles
of red and gilt paper, with intricate
writing, and punches of red Chinese
tapers set on white sticks, you may
know him for the prayer seller, who
gives ease of the soul for five cents to
a dollar, according to the nature of
your petition.-Chicago Journal.
