There is more Carrarrh in this Sec
ton of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incur
able. For great many years doctors
pronounced it local disease and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local
treatment pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be q
constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment

SON ABANDONS Hrs MOTHER.
Notified of Sad Case OF
lngratitude. {.

TacOma-The attention OF secretary
William Hover of the Associated
Charities has been called to what he
considers one of the most heartleSs
cases of ingratitude ever reported to
him. 1t is of sons brutal conduct
towards his mother the latter a wo-
man Sc years Of age, broken down
and physically unable to take care of
herself The son is a young man not
vet 26 years old, and he is living in
Tacoma today and said to be squand-
ering his earnings while his mother,
who has devoted the best years of her
life to him, is dependent on charity.
Mr.. Hovey says that less than two
years ago the family resided in North
Dakota on a farm. The mother yield
ed to the solicitations of her only son
and sold the farm, including stock
and implements, realizing $4,000 for it.
1t was to come to Tacoma to reside
that the mother thought she had sold
the home that represented years Of
toll on the part Of herself and deceased
husband. and she turned over the pro-
ceeds of the sale to her son, who was
to come west and prepare home for
her.
Turned Her From Home.
Instead of doing so, however, he
sQuandered the money and abandoned
his mother After the last cent had
been spent he was taken sick, and
the first person he appealed to was
the mother whom he had wronged. Mr.,
Hover says she raised money to come
to Tacoma and for weeks nurSed her
boy night and day through his illness.
Upon his recovery he returned to work
and resumed his former associations
and a short time ago. at the request of
a woman. is said to have turned his
mother out of the house and since re-
fused to contribute to her support
Broken hearted, the old woman went
to the home of a widowed daughter
who resides here. The daughter has
one child and is helpless and unable
to assist in the support of the family.
Friends brought the case to the at
tentiOn of the Associated Charities,
and yesterday Mr.. Hover offered them
relief. The son is a labOrer drawing
fair wages, and an effort will be made
to compel him to do his duty towards
his mother.

Deafness cannot BE Crued.

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear
There is only one way TO cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition Of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have a
rambling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deafness
is the result, and unless the inflam-
nation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed con-
dition OF the mucous surfaces.

EEFD FAMINE.

Hay Selling for $40 Per Ton or
Most Any Price You Ask.

gets worse instead of better, and
prices have scared till they are al

Jason Clark end j. q. Kincaid
went to Pittsburg recently to buy a
supply sufficient to relieve the dis
tress bet could get only one car load
of hay and straw mixed There
were only or ears of hay on the
B. q O. tracks and most of them
were sold, some to go to Fairmont
to relieve the pinched situation up
there The one car was bought
but it went out like hot cakes, and
this firm is again without supplies.
There was p.enty of hay on the
Pennsylvania railroad, but the com
pany would not transfer it to the B.
and o. and ship it to Morgantown
without an extra freight charge of
IL cents per hundred, pro rata
charge for shipping on to Morgan
town over the B. d o. is only cents
per hundred. Buying feed off the
Pennsylvania road and reshipping it
to Morgantown would have added
50 per ton to the freight charges.
Inquiry at the Victor Elevator
Mills, showed that they were sold
out of hay, straw oats and corn yes
terday but were expecting car
load of hay today. One had been
on the siding in Seneca for several
days, but there was no bill for it
here, and no one could tell whether
it was intended for Morgantown, or
some other place.
A call at Tenants Mill elected
the information, that they had
neither hay, straw, nor oats, but aid
have some corn. Mr. Tenant has
had feed ordered and on the road for
the past month, but cannot get it

One dealer made the suggestion
that we are BADLY situated for get
ting feed, because the b. q o. road
does not reach much of the great
hay producing part of the country,
and cannot get it Other roads
reach many hay and oats producing
localities not tapped by the B. & o.
road.
Hay is selling here for $40 ton,
and would command higher prices
now if the dealers would demand 1T.
But they will not make exorbitant
prices to customers unless they first
have to pay them.

DIR. ALSUP HEARTY.
Good Prospects Of Living Another 100
hears at the Weston Hospital.

Inquiry was made concerning the
condition of the inmates of the State
Hospital for the Insane OF Mr.. Car
penter, who was here yesterday to take
up Luther Thompson.
He said that DR.. Alsup is fat and
hearty, and looks promising to live for
msny years yet. The learned Doctor
still practices bis honorable profession
OF medicine among the inmates OF the
hospital. He says he is IS years old,
but is generally reported to be ITO by
other people, who have known him a
long time.
He carried brick for the erection of
the old Monongalia court house in
1910, and it was said that he was 40
years old then. He is supposed to be
at least near 10 centena.ian.
Robert Stanton, who was sent to
the hospital from here, has improved
greatly under the treatment at Yves
ton. His mind has about recovered
its normal condition, and it Is thought
that he can be sent home very soon.
He was an active worker in the Saliva
ton Army here when his mind be-
came unbalanced.
Several other inmates from this
county are in the asylum, but no great
improvement is reported 10 the condi
tion of the others, and their ultimate
complete recovery is not promised,
though they may be able to return to
their friends after while.

new COAL WORKS.
r. E. L. Allen Will Open Mines
on Rich Farm.
Location for Mine Opening made Tues
day-Coal TO be Shipped by River
Will Mine 10 Acres Year Ready
to Load Coal in Barges by June LIST.

A new coal industry is planned to
be in operation in the county by
June LIST of the present year. Loca-
ton for mine opening has been made
and work will begin very soon.
The industry will be conducted
by r. f. L. Allen. He recently pur-
chased Of Nimrod Cole, the Rict
farm of nearly 200 acres opposite
Round bottom on the West Side oi
the river. There are about 20 acres
of line Pittsburg coal on the track.
varying in thickness from ten to
eleven teet. 1t is the coal that Mr..
Alien will mine.
He was up to the property yester.
day with civil engineers Russell L.
Morris and Mr. Burns. They select
ed location for the mine opening,
about $50 yards from the river bank.
Contracts Tor making the mine OPP
ening, constructing incline and erect
ing tlpple are to be let next week.
Applications will be made at once
to the government Tor permission to
erect the tipple and build Zee break
ers in the river TO protect the coal
harges
Mr.. Allen expects TO have the
openings all made and tlpple luiit
ready for shipping coal by the first
of Junenext. 1t is probable that he
will install electric machinery to dig
the coal. 1t is the intention to take
out from six to ten acres of the coal
each year, which will necessitate the
OF from 30 to so work
ers. miners and those engaged in
transportation # the fuel.
The mine opining will be opposite
pool No. IL on the Monongahela
river and pear to mine opening at
Waters coal bank on the Elkins coal
land. The water is deep enough
here to float coal barges without
the dam, but they would probably
not be able to get over the swallow
water at Ellington till the lock is
completed The dam at No. ii will
pi obably be finished by mid sum
mer, so that not much delay is ex
pected in shipping the product on
account of lack of transportation
facilities.
Mr.. Allen will not lease the coal
to operators for royalty, but in
tends to operate it himself. He has
had some good offers for the tract.
but refused to accept any of them.
