Consumption is a human
weed fourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes i'm
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.

This morning the cars COM
menced to run regularly between
this city and Paden City. The cars
run now clear up to the Main
street of the new city. We had the
pleasure of riding up on the first
through car In company with Pres
ident Watkins; Robert Miller and
E. A. Durham: The cars will run
until midnight tonight. The cars
leave upper Wells street at the
railroad crossing every hour. To.
morrow morning the first leaves at
7 then 8 and so on every hour
through the day and night and the
same rule will govern the running
of the cars this evening. The
fare from here Is ten cents
up and the same to return
or twenty cents for the round
trip. Getting on or off between
the two cities the fare is5 cents.
The rates and other things will be
regulated better later on. The order
to put In the crossing over the B.
& o. track was issued late last
night and the work will probably
be done tomorrow. So until this
crossing Is put In people will have
to walk up to the crossing to get on
the cars.

the old Ankrom house. A large

The park will be lighted up with

handsome swings, park chairs and

abouts Is unknown to the officers
of the company. Every effort
will be made by the company to
ascertain the lc cation Of the
missing salesman and a rigid
investigation will be started. 1t
Is not exactly known how much
money that the young man secured
but 1t Is thought to be between the
above named. He has been with
the company about year and was
one of its trusted employees. The
shortage of the young man will fall
heavily on the company as they
will have to loot the bill. Reagan
had been collecting for the COM
pany for some time and at different
times had large sums of money In
his possession. It Is not thought
that he lost the money In any tran
saction as he was not known to
drink or gamble.

famous American band which was
organized eleven years ago has q
record of achievements that has
never been and probably never will
be equaled by any other organiza-
ton, for Sousa has played with
marked success throughout two
thirds of the civilized world. He
Is the only conductor who has been
accepted by both the musical crit
les and the public Of all the great
cities of Europe and America. His
season, just concluded, extended
over eleven months and a tidal
wave of Sousa music swept over
the globe from San Fransisco to

be heard here In concert
which Is announced for one night,
