FAULT FINDING

those who can stand 1t get along

The act of concentrating oul
minds upon the pursuit of GER
tain plan or plans In life, Is appar
emily neglected by many of the
rising generation. The failure to dc
so begins early In life with some,
who, when they are primary pupils
in the schools are neglectful OF
their studies, and are not enough
interested In their books to pay any
heed to them beyond the mere re-
cital by the lips of lesson.
The foundation of a career thus
begun hinders development In fu-
ture years and consequently dwarfs
the mind through life, for the les

The Electric Line.

The Parkersburg and Ohio Val
tey Electric Railway will be con-
structed before the first day of the
year 1905. This may seem to the
more impatient to be long way of
but 1t must be remembered that
the undertaking Is not by any
means a light one; and then, besides
the company has fixed the limit so
as to insure time enough to COM
plete the work. 1t may be ready
for travel before then. At any
rate, the road Is a sure thing, and
1t stands all the residents along the
line to give 1t a helping hand. Re-
member that 1t Is a line for purely
local traffic; that its life depends
upon the amount of local business
1t receives, and that 1t Is therefore
not by any means to be compared
to a steam railroad, whose chief
object Is to become a trunk line,
paying no attention 10 the people
along Its route.
The electric line gets down close
to the people. 1t matters not tc

does matter how many people wan

Dead and Down Timber.

The report of Simon Michelet, Indi-
an agent at White Earth, relative to
the dead and down timber at that
place has been received at the interior
department. Agent Michelet estimates
that there are from 20,0OO,OOO to 3d.
900 feet of dead and down timber on
the reservation, of which rs per cent
is white pine and the remainder Nor
way.
The timber is reported to be in
good condition, and if logged this
winter Agent Michelet says it will
probably bring the same price as
standing timber, but if allowed to
lay, he reports that it will depreciate
in value. The agent asks that he be
authorized to dispose of the timber,
stating that it will give employment
to the Indians.

A DMIRAL SCHLEY, one of the foremost

A name that starts terror in the heart of every
Spaniard. A man of steady nerve, clear head,
undaunted courage and prompt decision.
Approached by friend recently, his opinion
was asked as to the efficacy of Peruna, the
national catarrh remedy. Without the slight
est hesitation he gave this remedy his en-
dorsement. 1t appeared on later converse
ton that Peruna has been used in his family,
where it is favorite remedy.
Such endorsements serve to indicate the
wonderful hold that Peruna has upon the
minds of the American people. 1t is out OF
the question that so great and famous man
as Admiral Schley could have any other
reason for giving his endorsement to Peruna
than his positive conviction that the remedy
is all that he says it is.
The fact is that Peruna has overcome all

Louisville Gas Company Forced to
Stop Efforts to Ruin Rival
Concern.

Frankfort, KY, Dec. 14.-The court
| of appeals has reversed the judgment OF
| the Meade circuit court in the case OF
the Calor Oil and Gas company against
w. c. McGehee and affirmed it in the
case of the Louisville Gas company
against the Kentucky Heating company.
! The cases grew out of the alleged eff
forts of the Louisville Gas company tc
| destroy the Meade county natural gas
| fields, from which the Kentucky heating
company has for years been securing the
| gas which it furnishes to customers OF
| Louisville. The Louisville Gas COM
pany officers organized the Calor Oil and
| Gas company, the stockholders being A.
| Hite Barrett, Rudolph Sneed and J. w.
Speed.
This company took over a number OF
leases of land made in the county. In
this territory they erected what they
called a lampblack factory. This fac
| tory was constructed with a stockade
about it, inside of which no one was al
| lowed to enter and firearms were dis
| charged to keep the neighbors away
When they began operations the Ken
lucky Heating company had pressure
| of 60 pounds, and in five months this was
reduced to 80 pounds. The force of the
lampblack factory was two men, one for
day and another for night. In five
| months the factory produced 300 pounds
of lampblack worth four cents a pound
and had consumed about 100000 feet
of the natural gas.
The lampblack was never shipped
| away from the factory. On these facts
the chancellor enjoined the operation OF
the lampblack factory, as violating the
statutory laws against the wasting of
natural gas.
The retail price of natural gas for fuel
in Louisville is IS cents per 1000 feet,
| making the value of the gas alleged to
have been consumed in making S12
worth of lampblack $63, $780,
The decision puts the lampblack fac
tory out of business.
