and whether he dosed Sam with
anthony or corn salye We never
knew. Whatever it was, killed
the minerin about three days, and
the doctorgot out Of it by explaining;
"Hc was beyond saving. He had
probably inherited febris fnitus
from his parents and working with
the pick and shovel had gradually
pushed the ventricle against the
pulmonary pylorus until the hearts
action was stopped.
We accepted the explanation and
he was next called to see miner
named Dobbs. The man had q
touch of rheumatic fever. but his
case was diagnosed as "transcendent
case Of carotid artery threatening TO
interrupt the workings of the lateral
tibia," and he was dosed accord
ingly. As near as we could learn,
the dose was made up of rosin, black
pepper and bacon grease, and per-
haps the fever killed Dobbs instead
OF the medicine. AT any rate, he
died in a couple of weeks, and the
doctor could not have saved him.
Two other miners were taken III,
treated and sent to their long homes
within the next fortnight, and then
we began 10 have doubts of the skill
of DR.. Ford. He was treating Tom
Holden for what he diagnosed as
redundant consideration of the
liver" and Tom was growing steadily
worse when old Joe Hurry put up a
job. He was as healthy as a whale
and as hard as flint, but he went to
bed and sent for the doctor, and the
doctor said to him:
81 can save you, but it will be a
close Call. 1 find that the auricle
has tendency to crowd the cartil-
age, and the cerebellum is moving
over to replace the sciatic plexus.
1t will be month before you can
be out again."
But it wasn't. 1t wasn't more
than minute before he was up and
out and his boot was striking the
"phys, surg and doc" where it would
do the most good. The fellow went
without protest, and he went at his
best speed, and when we came to

From The Morgantown News.
John I. Morley OF Wayne town.
ship. near Blacksmith, w. Va, died
Sunday, September al, 1909 OF
paralysis. He was born December
I, 1879, on the farm where he died
and where Brice Morley his grand.
father located before the Declare
ton Of Independence was signed,
here his father David Morley was
born May 8, I77s. The Morley
homestead vas barricaded In this
early day and known a. worley's

TARIFF FOR REVENUE
VS.. FREE TRADE.

The Republican campaign mana
gers realizing the precariousness Of
their position and their helplessness
on the question of tariff and Trusts,
are trying to gain strength by mis-
representing the attitude OF the
Democratic party on the question Of
tariff for revenue and the abolition
of the tariff on Trust made articles
that afford no revenue to the Gov
eminent IN any form. A story is
going the rounds of the Republican
press to the effect that the Demo
cratic campaign book declares in
unequivocal terms for free trade.
The Democratic campaign book
declares for nothing of the kind.
What it does demand is the placing
on the free list Of all Trust-made
articles that are manufactured in
this country and sold at two hundred
per cent cheaper in foreign countries
than they can be obtained at home.
Every one of these Trusts operating
under the provisions Of the Dingley
tariff law, afford not one penny Of
revenue to the Government, but by
virtue Of that law they mulct the
American consumer to the extent of
hundreds Of millions annually. The
Democracy stands on the tariff and
Trust questions where it has always
stood, namely, equal rights to all
and special privileges 70 none"
