HAVE YOU ANY OF THESE
symptoms of Very Common
TroubleP

There is no disease so common in the
United States as Catarrh because 1t APP
pears in so many forms and attacks so
many different organs.
1t Is common mistake to suppose
that catarrh is confined to the nose and
throat. Any inflammation of the ml-
cous membrane wherever located ac-
companied by abnormal secretions, is
catarrh. Catarrh of stomach or blad-
der or intestines is nearly as common
as nasal catarrh and much more seri-
Gus although 1t is true that stomach
catarrh and catarrh of other internal
organs Is the result of neglected nasal
catarrh.
A new remedy has recently appeared
which so far as tested seems TO be re-
markably effective in promptly curing
catarrh. wherever located. The pre-
paration is sold by druggists generally
under name of Stuarts Catarrh Tab
let's, and in addition to being very pala-
table and convenient, possesses extra
ordinary merit, in many cases giving
immediate relief from the coughing,
hawking and constant clearing of the
throat and head. those symptoms with
which everyone Is familiar who has
ever suffered from colds in the head
and throat.
Catarrh is simply a continuation of
these symptoms until the trouble be-
comes chronic and grows gradually
worse from year to year.
Stuarts Catarrh Tablets are conf
posed of Hydrastin, Red Gum and
similar antiseptcs and catarrh spe-
cifics, from which it will be seen that
no secret is made of the ingredients
and also that no mineral poisons are
used, as in the case with many well
known catarrh medicines.
For catarrh Of the nose throat, bron-
chial tubes, for catarrh of stomach, in
testines or bladder no preparation Is so
safe and gives such rapid and perma-
nent results as Stuart's Catarrh Tab
let's
All druggists sell them at soc. for full
sized package. You can use them with
assurance that you will not contract
the cocaine or morphine habit as the
results from this catarrll cure are APP
parent from the first days use.

TO MAINTAIN HOSPITAL.
Work of the Hahneman Hospital Is
to Be Continued.

Meeting of the directors and physi-
clans connected with the Hahneman
hospital was held yesterday at the Of
five of Simpson & Watkins. 1t is
the determination of the management
to maintain and carry on the work
of the institution, trusting to the pub
lie to help sustain it until such a time
as larger appropriation can be Sc
cured.
The hospital has so outgrown the
work and the needs which the early
appropriations were based that state
money covers but IA minor part of the
running expenses. A contribution of
one thousand dollars was made by the
staff of physicians and surgeons con-
nected with the hospital and an addi-
tional thousand dollars by Drs. coolidge
and Peck.

The grounding took his first out

Saturday at POwhatau - They Were
Harvestfug.Ice and Quarreled Over
Trivial Matter.-Fearedi Helms VIII
Escape.
Saturday evening, about S o'clock,
at Powhatan, small town of about
500 inhabitants, about twenty four
miles above Sistersville. Frank
Helms killed Allen Ramsey with
an axe. After the deed Helms
made his escape, but latter was
found at the home OF his mother, and
very peaceably went with the con
stable.
ALI day Saturday George and Al
len Ramsey, Frank Helms and 9TH
ers were cutting Ice and hauling 1t tc
an Ice house In the village. They
were all drinking and George Ram
sey was soon disputing with Chas.
Helms, which quarrel soon devel-
oped into "free.for.all," and Allen
Ramsey, wishing to stop the fight,
jumped between the two COMPETE
tors, and In this way received the
fatal blow.
Helms, thinking Allen Ramsey
intended to help his brother, picked
up large Ice axe, and dealt him a
vicious blow over the head. Ram
sey fell like a log, and never spoke
a word after that. He died about
an hour later.
When Allen Ramsey fell, the
crowd realized what had happened,
and sent for doctor, who worked
with Ramsey for about an hour at
ter be was dead. DR.. Bruce, from
Moundsville, was Sent for, bnt says
the man was dead before he
started from his Office, as the blow
dealt Killed him almost instantly.
Helms was arrested and put In
the town lookup, which Is very
insecure affair, being built of
boards, with large cranks between
them, and the whole structure re-
minds one of a hen-house. Sew
eral escapes have been made from
this place, and the people of Pow
haitian are afraid that unless every
precaution Is taken Helms will es-
cape.
Helms, at a penitentiary hearing,
was held for the grand jury. He
will be taken to more secure
place of confinement.

In the world. Yes. But where was there
a churn and rocking chair combined?
Where, O where, indeed, thought the
young man as he read on:
II have attached the rocking chair and
have it all ready to go on the market.
I advertised in the farm papers and sent
out a few churns that I manufactured.
AS result am already receiving orders
that I am not prepared to fill, and have
any number of applications from parties
who want the agency far4fr counties

not yet been introduced, but the churn
alone has already demonstrated that 1t
will meet with unlimited demand When
the rocking chair Is introduced in connec-
ton with the churn, SO that any one can
sit down and leisurely rock and do his
churning, what must be the demand for
these churns and rocking chairs! I have
spent about all the money I could earn
