out of the city.
One effort made before the grand
Jury to indict a Councilman, was no
doubt a direct outsrowth of the pres
ent political fight. He was alleged TO
have received $500 tor support OF the
fake hotels, and the use Of his infu-
ence, but there was NO evidence to sus-
tain the charge, and it has never been
credited by friends Of the Councilman
in question.
There are other names, in addition
to those mentioned by DIR. Haskins,
who are alleged in common rumor to
have been offered sums OF money to
vote with the Republicans. Among
them are Mr.. Alderman, of the Fifth

Celery Compound the Best Spring
Medicine in All the World.
Purifies the Blood as Nothing Else Can Do, Makes
Strong Nerves, Cures Disease.

celery compound as a spring medicine
so far exceeds to-day the demand for
all other remedies put together.
Paine's celery compound, taken dur
ing the early spring days, has ever
more than its usual remarkable efficacy
in making people we'll. 1t makes short
work of all diseases of debility and
ervou exhaustion. 1t rapidly drives
out neuralgia, sleeplessness. dyspepsia,
and rheumatism from the system. 1t
removes that lassitude. or tired feel

and poor blood.
O~verworked and tired women are but
n class of persons who are in urgent
need of the wonderful remedy to make
and keep them well. Business men
who r not sleeping soundly, shop
girls made pale and sickly by long
hours Of indoor work. and the count

PRINT CLOTHS.

FALL RIVER, Mass, March S.-Tno
sales In the print cloth market during
the week amounted TO a seant 10000
pieces. all odds. No regulars during
that time. This is the poorest weeks
business done in many months past
which have been marked by poor bus
mess throughout and makes 1t even
more certain that before long some
step must be taken by manufactures
To relieve the ~unprornising condition
of the print cloth market. As a re-
suit OF the reduction MADE In New
York and Philadelphia In the price OF
printed finished goods, the cloth a
ket here during the week became de-
moralized and buyers refused TO pay
the figures asked by manufacturers for
their production. The drop in cotton
was also a factor In the situation The
stock on hand Is increasing weekly.
II Is said that a majority of local mill
men would upheld the selling commit
tee IL it should make another reduction
I'm the quotation In response to a large
bid. The market lie dull at three cents
for regulars and on that basis for
odds.

The so-called investigation by the
criminal grand jury, Of reports alleg-
ing bribery and attempted bribery OF
members of the City Council, was a
topic of general conversation yester-
day. The jury reported that it made
a thorough Investigation, and it is
this statement to which the critics of
the jury take exception. The general
opinion prevails that the jury did not
take the proper steps toward probing
the matter to the bottom. In this con-
nection it is also said that a number
of gentlemen who are popularity sup
posed to know something about the
bribery matters, found it convenient
to have pressing business outside the
city.
Those who criticize the grand jury,
point out what might have been done
If the jurors were determined to thor
oughly investigate the rumors. At the
beginning of the afternoon session, the
jury decided to take up the investiga-
ton, and opened it by issuing sub
poenas for the general managers of
the three Wheeling newspapers. Moth
ing tangible was testified to by them,
but they mentioned reports they had
heard, and more subpoenas were is
sued. The only Councilman before the
jury was DR.. T. M. Haskins, who
named three members who were re-
ported to have been offered bribes-
Messrs. M. A. Chew, John Oehsenkuhn,
and Patrick Scally.
1t might occur to any reasonable
person that the next step in an honest
and determined investigation, would
have been to summon the three Coun-
cilmen to appear before the grand
jury, but this was not done. One of
the gentlemen was in and out of the
City Building several times during the
afternoon, and could have been exam
ined if the jury desired to hear his
testimony. The names of persons
who were reported to have offered
brides, were mentioned by some of the
witnesses, but their statements were
based upon rumor merely. The only
way, perhaps. to get at the facts. was
to subpoena the members of Council.
If they could not be secured on Thurs
day, the grand jury could have re-
manned in session indefinitely.
The InteIligencer mentioned, in a
list of witnesses who testified before
the jury, City Collector J. X. Hall. The
Intelligencer is in error. A subpoena

There is but one spring medicine
that never fails.
Paine's celery compound is a physi-
clans remedy, and all schools OF
physicians prescribe it.
1T IS guaranteed by thousands of
men and women whom it has benefited.
1t has saved the health and lives of
hundreds of sufferers in every COM
munity.
1t is the only specific known for dis
eases arising from a debilitated nerv-
GUS system and impure blood. Again
and again it cures when every other
means fails. It Is as far in advance
of the ordinary we'll meaning but use
less sarsaparillas, nervines, and tonics,
as a finely adjusted chronometer is
superior to the dummy clock on a jew
eler's sign post. One is the finished
product of brains and scientific skill,
while the other is a bungling imitation.
This is why the demand for Paine's
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1901-03-09

now that spring. with all its dangers
is at hand. Its pre-emirence as Q
health-maker comes from its extraor-
binary powers of supplying appropriate
natriment to the blood, nerves, and
brain.
There isn't a family so rich or 50
poor as TO afford to be without a bottle
of Paine's celery compound in the early
spring days, when the human system
needs every assistance to carry It
through the depressing effects Of the
season when nature makes il easiest
to replenish the blood with nsw,
healthful material, and feed the nerv-
Gus system with strength for future
work.
What Paine's celery compound has
done for thousands of others 1t will do
for the reader, and once this great med
ioine is given a trial, another person
win be added to the multitude who
praise its wonderful virtues.
