a Valuable Publication.

There is publication that is always
very much looked for, on account OF the
instructive reading matter that it con-
tains. We refer to Hostetter's Almanac
for 1903, published by The Hostetter
Company, Pittsburg, Pa, proprietors Of
their famous Stomach Bitters. This
medicine treatise is published in the
English, German. French, Norwegian,
Swedish, Bohemian, and Spanish Ian
guages, and contains interesting read
ing in regard to your health, many tes-
timonials as to the efficacy Of the Bit
tiers, many amusing anecdotes and other
items that will interest you throughout
the year. Don't fail To obtain a copy
from your druggist, also give the Bit
tiers trial if you are sufferer from
dyspepsia, indigestion, constipation or
nervousness. 1t will cure you.

West Virginia Items.

A party of Wabash Railroad officials
has bought the Buckhannon and
Northern Railroad of West Virginia.
Full official returns just received by
the Secretary of State show that the
Republican ticket in the State received
1929 votes: Democratic, $3.50 ;
Prohibition, 1927, Populist ,467.
The contracts for the State printing
and binding have been awarded, the
printing to NJ. A. Kendall, receiver for
the Tribune Company, for $20,035,
and the binding to j. G. Upton, OF
Huntington, for $1,000.
The State penitentiary at Mounds
vile was the scene of fire last Sat-
urday morning which destroyed near
" the entire contents of the institu-
tons flower house. The damage to
the building will not exceed $40.
Daniel Mundy and John Sheetz last
week killed large bear near Buckeye,
in Pocahontas county. 1t had been
preying on sheep, having devoured
many. The bear, which weighed $40
pounds, had Just killed calf and a
sheep when seven shots ended its life.
DR.. J. W. Hartigan has brought suit
against the regents of the West Vir-
GINA University for $500, due on
salary at the time that his connection
with the institution was severed. He
has had several suits in the circuit
court, but they have all been with
drawn on one ground or another.
There will be lively scramble for
the speakership of the West Virginia
House of Delegates at the next session
at Charleston in January. There are
now eight aspirants for the position
among the Republican members-elect.
As there is large Republican major
ity, the contest will be in the Repub-
lican caucus. Those who are aspiring
to be speaker, so far as heard from at
present, are Francis P Meats, of Par
kersburg; John G Schillipg of Spencer;
Judge Edwin Maxwell, of Clarksburg;
W. G. Caldwell, of Wheeling; R. L.
Gregory, Of Sistersville; A. M. Cum
ningham, of Davis; Charles Macker
Babb, of Keyser; and NJ. P. Shawkey,
of Charleston.
The closest State senatorial contest
ever waged in West Virginia was the
recent one in the seventh district,
comprising the counties of Raleigh,
Summers, Mercer and Monroe. Two
Senators were to be elected, the Re-
publican candidates being Matheny
and Ballard, those of the Democracy
McGinnis and McGrath. The result
showed the election of one Republican,
Mr.. Matheny, and one Democrat, Mr..
McGinnis, the vote being as follows
Matheny (R) 6.311; McGinnis 3D.
6,348; Ballard (R.) $3.50; McGrath
(D) 6,267. But here comes the mix
up-both Matheny and McGlnnis, the
successful candidates, are residents of
Raleigh county, and provision of
the State Constitution is that both
Senators shall not be residents of the
same county. The problem will have
to be solved by the State Senate when
it convenes in January.

SOME of the most prominent states
men in Washington profess to be will
ing to do something to protect the
people from the exactions of the trusts
if only some sure way can be found to
do it. Well, why not make at least
one experiment? A great many per-
sons earnestly believe that to remove
the tariff from trust-made articles
would help things. We suggest that
the duty be taken from wood pulp,and
ascertain whether or not paper will
become cheaper.

Would You
Like to Feel
YoungAgain?

Old people certainly have bad
feelings that those below fifty
hardly understand.
1t is discouraging to find that
little tasks that once were easy
are now very hard.
Many old people are lame,
nearly all are weak.
Worst of all is that feeling of
languor, of inability to act, of
WEAKNESS at trifing exertion.
Nothing will make the old young
again, but Vinol will prevent
ninety-nine out of one hundred old
people from feeling SO cid.
There is no humbug about it.
We found out about Vinol and tried
it every way before we decided to
put it on the market and guarantee
it. Now we believe that almost
any tired, discouraged old person
who will take a bottle of Vinol will
feel better right away.
1t will increase their strength,
appetite, and brighten their spirits.
1t does this by nourishing. In
old people, the digestion be-
comes feeble. Vnol supplies quick
nourishment and helps the food to
nourish. Don't blame the old
folks for being blue and cross.
Take home a bottle of Vinol.
Money back if it isn't helpful.

THAT Virginia legislator who would
prohibit kissing by persons who do
not have a certificate showing good
health, and that they may therefore
properly osculate, is coming in for a
good deal of criticism. There is some
merit in his project, however. If a
small fee should be charged for each
certificate sufficient revenue would be
raised to pay all the expenses of run
ming the State and have something
over.

The evidence before the commission
doesn't indicate that any of the an
thracite coal miners are rolling in
wealth. On the contrary, they are
about as uncomfortable a class of la
borers as may be found in the United
States. And while the operators are
increasing their vast wealth and charg-
ing fifty cents a ton more for their
coal than they ever paid before, the
unlucky miners are digging away at
the same old insufficient rate of wages.

We do not need to give all
the reasons why SCOTS

The fact that it is the best

to why it does what it docs.

A Big Store Burned.

Pocahontas, Nov. 1.-THE
store of A. z. Schnabaum, at
Biggers, on the new railroad
above this place, was destroyed
by fire Sunday night, Mr..
Schnabaum's manager, Mr..
Biggers, lives here and had
come home to spend Sunday.
None of the merchandise was
saved, as there was no one there
when the fire was started. The
clerks and bookkeeper were at
home and arrived too late to do
any good. The stock of goods
was purchas ed only few months
ago and was valued at $4,000.
AS no stove had been set up and
no one had been in the building
for twenty-four hours, it was

The Official Returns.

Official returns have been re-
ceived at the secretary of states
office from % of the 70 counties
in the state, giving the result Of
the congressional election No
vember 4 in these counties. As
yet the returns are incomplete in
any of the seven congressional
districts. The twenty-five coun-
ties reporting so far show a total
vote of 1854, and they include
some of the smallest counties.
The counties heard from comprise
one third of the total number in
the state. If the average OF 666
votes to the county be maintained
throughout, the total vote of the
state will be about $4,000, just as
estimated from the first returns
received by the Gazette immedi-
ately after the election.
The total Republican vote in
the state will probably not exceed
10, ,000.-Gazette.
