in Wetzel county, w. Va, a new post
Office was established and named
Kodol, after the famous Kodol Dye
pepsia Cure. manufactured by s. c.
Dewitt & Co., of Chicago. 1t had
given such satisfactory results that
the name was unanimously selected
by the people for the new Office and
adopted by the department at
Washington, D. C. This action wac
entirely voluntary on the part of
the community, without any solic-
itation whatever from the manu-
facturers of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure.
In fact the fret knowledge they oh.
tanned regarding the matter was
when they received letter bearing
the post mark "Kodol, w. Va.," and
the contents fully explained the cir

OLDEST 100 HOUSE.

for many years. Mr.. Pierson said:
"This wac one.room hewed log

ineide. 81, "a 49,.
"In the spring Of 1882 there wac

ON account of the Black Hawk war.

Indian settlements at Indian Grove

this county. So great was the dan.

these Indians, built a stockade in

three years before Patton had taken
possession of the kickapoo village,
and he might reasonably expect
the first attack If the Kickapoos
went upon the warpath. To guard
against this danger he built block
house ten feet west of his log cabin.
It was . duplicate of that except it
had ouly one door and that in the
end, facing the west end of the other
cabin. but it had no fireplace, Chin

New York, July 2a.-One man
whose stomach, and not his throat,
has been for several years the hab.

osities of Dock Watch Hollow, q
hamlet nestled among the Wach.

from Bound Brook, New Jersey.
Edward Blaxier, a farmer, has
been ailing for some time, and his
symptoms have baffled the skill of
the physicians of the vicinity, who
one by one gave up the case as in
durable. Notwithstanding the fact
that he was unable to work and was
slowly wasting away, Blaxier was
the possessor of a ravenous sppe.
tite, being particularly fond of
meat.
When DR.. Fred A. Wild of Bound
Brook, took up Blazier's case two
weeks ago he proceeded to make
himself thoroughly acquainted
with the symptoms. When ques-
toned Blazier said that he suffered
pains in the region of his stomach
and occasionally experienced zen.

moving about. Farther questioning
brought out the TACT that the fam

from a nearby spring for drinking
purposes. This information con-
firmed DR.. Wild in his belief, and
he urged an operation, which was
performed last Thursday, when the
doctor removed from the patients

more than Eve inches long. When
taken out the animal was dead, hav.

frogs, except that an examination
showed that it never had the use OF

Blazier 10 now on the road 10 re-

now recalls a circumstance which
happened about Eve years ago

Reflections of a Bachelor.

From New York Press.
It's love that makes the world go ruined.
No man has any respect for his brother-
in-law unless he is married himself.
The most useless husband in the world to
woman is worth sitting up nights and sew
ing buttons on for.
Lots of men spend lot of time wonder
ing why it is women always want to know
the why of everything.
You can always get woman mixed up in
an argument by using some word that she
doesn't know the meaning of.
The experience of most every married man
is that he found his wife exactly where he
hadn't expected to find her.
It's never safe 10 make up to a girl till at
least six months after she has made up her;
mind that she has nothing left to live for.

Mrs. Stanford's WAYS:

| Philadelphia Times.
Mrs. Stanford is having more
trouble with her University. She
has fired number Of her professor
and now most Of the others have re.
signed. They say that they were
employed to teach what they be.
licved to be facts, not what Mrs.
and as they and she do not agree,
she will have to employ other
professors.
This is right. But the professors
evidently misconceived the terms of
their original employment If a
millionaire hires man to salt his
yacht, he expects to sail it accord
ing to the owners desires. Mrs.
Stanford, instead Of yacht, keeps
university. and she has a right to
have the university run to suit her.
The professors should have learned
her views before expressing them
selves.
Mr.. Rock efeller had some trouble
Of this kind with his professors a
while ago, but he got rid of some
of them and read the riot act to the
rest, and now his university is get
ting on finely and announces a new
and ridiculous discovery every few
days. Mill!onaires cannot expect
to enjoy their yachts or horses or
universities, or whatever may be
their particular fad, without some
little trouble, but if they are willing
to put up enough they can always
get what they want.

The Ship Subsidy Bill.

New Orleans Picayune.
The Republican managers repre-
senting the administration interests
are determined to make a strong eff
fort 10 pass the Ship Subsidy Bill at
the present session, and have finally
succeeded in securing the consent of
the Republican Senatorial caucus to
preparation bills when the army bill
is disposed Of. 1t is announced that
in order to secure this consent of
the caucus the promoters of the bill
were compelled to accept certain
amendments suggested by some
leading Republicans, but when these
amendments are considered it is
seen that they change the bill but
little, and certainly place no limit
on the raid upon the treasury in
volved.
One Of the amendments is not to
allow subsidy for speed over
eighteen knots, the idea being not
to give the very fast ocean liners
the lions share Of the bounty.
Another amendment is to limit the
number Of foreign vessels to be ad-
mitted to American registry upon
condition that a like amount of new
American tonnage is constructed.
Still another amendment shortens
the contract for subsidies from
twenty to fifteen years.
These amendments in no way
change the character of the bill,
which is not really bounty on
American shipping but the payment
OF large sums of money to few
rich corporations. Even if the
mend ents aid the passage of the
bill, they will not serve to popu-
larize 1t with the masses of the
people.
