IS 1T AN
Vital Statistics show an Alarming
Increase In an Already Prevail
ing D~Isease-Are Any Exempt

At no time in the history of disease has
there been such an alarming increase in
the number OF cases of any particular
malady as in that of kidney and bladder
troubles now preying upon the people of
this country.
To-day we see a relative. a friend or an
acquaintance apparently well, and in a
few days we may be grieved to learn of
their serious Illness or sudden death,
caused by that fatal type of kidney trou-
ble-Bright's Disease.
Kidney trouble often becomes advanced
into acute stages before the afflicted Is
aware OF It's presence. that is why We read
of so many sudden deaths of prominent
business and professional men, physicians
and others. They have neglected to stop
the leak in time.
While scientists are puzzling their brains
20 lind out the cause, each individual can,
by a little precaution, avoid the chances
ney trouble, or eradicate 1t completely
from their system If already afflicted.
Many precious lives might have been. and
many more yet can be saved, by paying
attention to the kidneys.
II is the mission of the Register to bene-
NJ Its readers at every opportunity and
therefore we advise all who have any
symptoms of kidney or ado trouble to
write to-day to DIR. Kilmer & Co.. Bing-
hamton. N Y, for a free sample bottle
of Swamp-Root. the celebrated specific
which Is having such a great demand and
remarkable success in the cure of the
most distressing kidney and bladder trou-
pies. With. the sample bottle of Swamp
Root VIII also be sent free a pamphlet and

DELIGHTFUL WEATHER.

1t is a pity the excursionists who
were wet and chilled to the bone the
other day timed their visit to Wheeling
SO inoppOrtunte.y as to be overtaken
by such unusual weather. AS a rule
Wheeling has always on tap the best
and coolest to be had in summer, no
matter what the rest of the country
may be suffering.
Our present brand of weather, for in
stance, is not to be excelled anywhere
in this latitude. 1t was preceded by a
thorough but gentle rain that gave to
vegetation just what it needed in ex-
actly the right proportion. While
crops may be suffering elsewhere here
they lack absolutely nothing to make
them perfect.
Never did Dame Nature present a
more beautiful and smiling counter
ance. But that is an old story
Nature always smiles on Wheeling II
she has any smiles at all. While the
rest of the land may be arid with
drouth and burning up, Wheeling has
what moisture there is going and the
temperature is never so high here as in
other localities in the same latitude.
As a summer resort with all the ad-
vantages of a metropolitan centre
Wheeling is hard to beat.

lies in the fact that the general strike
order does not go into effect I'M
I'll after the last turn Of the mills on
August 10.
This furnishes a welcome interim
In which pressure may be brought to
bear on the trust for a reconsideration
OF its attitude. 1t is just barely pos
sible that In the short time that Will
elapse before President Shaffer's gen.
eral strike order goes into effect suffi-
cient outside influence may be exerted
to prevent the impending conflict.
President Shaffer evidently thorough
ly appreciates his heavy responsibility
and, realizing the gravity of the stu
alton, is leaving ever possible opening
for a final settlement. At the same
time he states, that the Amalgamated
Association has made every concession
consistent with its existence and that
any further peace proposals must come
from the other side.
1t is to be hoped during this brief
breathing spell, in which both sides
may finally ponder on the profound
folly of a struggle in which both are
bound to be losers and in which bust
ness generally must suffer in proportion,
that nothing will be left undone to
bring about a peaceable settlement. All
allied and independent industries
throughout the country and all business
must suffer from so gigantic a strike
as this promises to be, and bankers,
financiers and business men every
where should keep the wires hot bring
ing every pressure to bear TO prevent
the catastrophe.

REED on WILLIAM L. WILSON.


Ex-Speaker Thomas B.. Reed, writing
to the authorities OF Westinghouse
University, of Virginia, pays this pc
culiarly interesting tribute to one of
West Virginia's most distinguished
sons, the late William l.. Wilson:
My Dear Sir:-I have read with much
interest the proofs you sent me. l had
great respect for Mr.. Wilson. because he
had convictions and was true to them.
There was something very pathetic in his
last struggle. death-struck. as he was.
with that greatest of all human forces,
popular feeling gone wrong. That that
feeling is doomed to revulsion does not
lessen it's power. Human life is too short
for vindication of the wise man while yet
alive. Many suns may set and many
dark nights cover the earth with clouds
before the truth is ripened into fruitage.
He is happier who is wrong when others
are wrong but no Darwinian survival of
the fttest to survive will ever convince
the manly man that there is not some
thing higher than happiness, Doing your
duty. and facing the consequences, is sue
cess itself"
1t Will be observed that Mr.. Reed,
the "ex-Czar," thorough yidappreciated
MIR. Wilson's high character and high
unselfsh aims. 1t is also apparent that
Mr.. Reed is well out of politics.

An Error Corrected.

To the Editor of the Register.
Sir: - Your correspondent, "Old
Timer" in yesterdays issue of your
paper, is slightly in error wnen he states
that Judge Caldwell is II years OF age.
Judge Caldwell was born in Marshall
county, w. Va, in 1892. and is therefore
pnly SO years old, and his general ap-
pearance is that of a man of about 60.
ITO all appearances, Judge Caldwell is
good for ten or more years of active, eff
ficient service on the Federal bench.
Judge Caldwell is a Judge of the olden
time, and he has never bent The knee
to corporate power or combined wealth.
He puts the man above the dollar every
time. May God put 1t In the head Of
the appointing power to give the county
more judges or the Federal bench like
Caldwell, and less Of the osher kind.

will also the cordite factory at Wei

for punkahs to be pulled by the same
means. Punkahs are gradually being
abolished in Calcutta, and electric fans
substituted in their place. Portable
