As II seized by a sudden inspiration Senn-
tor Wolcott left his seat and hurried across
the senate chamber, relates the Washing
ton Post. He sought the side OF Senator
Pettus who was deep in the study OF some
papers, and whispered a word In his ear
II looked for a moment as II something
very important had occurred in which the
advice OF the venerable scge from Alabama
was sadly needed.
A broad smile spread over the face OF
Senator Pettus as he listened to his col
leagues whisper and laid down his bundle
OF papers. First, one hand went into his
left hand trousers pocket 1t came ou;
empty. His right hand went into the other
pocket and was aso withdrawn with moth
ing doing. BY this time his smile had dis
appeared. Then his vest pocket was in
vestigated and still without result. Finally,
as CLEAN Of thought played across his
face, Senator Pettus dived deep into his
hip pocket and a small package was pro-
duced. He handed 1t to Senator Wocott
who held II underneath the desk and ma
nipulated II for several minutes. At last
with a profound bow, he said goodby TO
Pettus and hastened back again to his seat
A moment later his hand travelled to his
mouth in surreptitious fashion.
Senator Pettus chews the finest brand Of
tobacco in use in the senate.

Thompson's mL,c Stpre seems to
have been victim,l.d ~ stranger,
giving his name as Clark. He came
here last Saturday and was well dress
ed. He got a place that day at the

machines to the country to sell. He
disposed OF them ut Quiet Dell and
returned to ClarkSburg. He paid for
the use OF the team and then disap-
peared. He has not been heard Of
since. The machines we're fine ones,
but he sold one for s25 and the other
for less. He received a considerable
cash payment, which he failed to &C.

Monday and he is believed to be the

Our Own Great Danger

Clarksburg can learn some practical lessons
from the Salem calamity. There was but one
brick building in all the region burned. However,
there we're some very good frame bulldogs. but
,noat of them were cheap hemlock thrown together
in any old way. They were inviting to the flames
and fell an easy prey. The situation at Clarks-
burp is not exactly similar, but fire-traps are
numerous. The idea seems to be that these build
,nps bring as much rent as could be gotten from
Costly and better buildings, and so long as that is
the case it is profit. The owners think 10 let them
stand until they rot down. 1t may be economy,

Who has. The mater ought to come under city

tits mysteriously strange that the property
owners are so Indifferent the matter of protec-
ron against fire. They have thousands of dollars
invested in buildings, which may be swept away
almost in the twinkling Of an eye, and yet they
make no endeavor to provide against fire. At q

ARE CATARRHAL

Catarrhal Diseases are Most
Prevalent in Winter.
Is THERE NO WAY OF
ESCAPE FROM THEM7
Pe-ru-na Never Fails to Cure
Catarrh Wherever
Located.

There are some things which are as
sure as fate, and can be relied ON to occur
to at least onc-half of tho human family
unless means arc taken to prevent.
First, the climate of winter is sure to
bring colds.
Second, colds not promptly cured are
sure to cause catarrh.
Third, ratarrh improperly treated il
sure to make life short and miserable.
oatarrh spares no organ or function of
tho body. It IL capable of destroying
sight, taste, smell, hearing, digestion,
secretion, assimilation and cxcretion.
1t peryades every part of the human
body, head, throat, stomach, bowels,
bronchial tubes, lungs, liver, kidneys,
bladder and other pelvic organs.
That Peruna cures catarrh wherever
located is attested by the following tes-
timonials sent entirely unsolicited to
DR.. Hartman by grateful men and wo-
men who have been cured by, Peruna:
caaarrh of The Head.
Mr.. d. R. Ramsey writes in recent
letter from Pine Blum, Ark, the fol-
lowing:
"siy son, Leon Ramsey, four years of
age, suffered with catarrh Of the head
for eighteen or twenty months. He took
ono bottle Of your Peruna and could
