German Syrup.

We wantto impress on our read
ers that Goschee's German Syrup
is positively the only preparation
on the market to-day that does
relieve and cure consumption. 1t
contains the specifics, such as pure
tar, extracts Of gums, etc., which
have been so highly endorsed for
the cure Of coughs, colds and con-
sumption by the great medical
congresses. The consumptive,
whether his disease Is In the throat
or lungs, must have rest at night,
and TO be free from the spasm of
dry and hacking cough in the
morning. The diseased parts want
rest, healing and soothing treat
ment, and the patient needs fresh
air, good food, etc. German
Syrup will give free and easy
expectoration In the morning with
speedy and permanent relief.

Oil Leases in
Controversy

The leases involved are the WILL
son lease to the Jennings Oil COM
pany for a 40 acre tract, and the
Darrah lease to the Fisher Oh COM
pauy for the same land. 1t Is said
that the Wilson claim Is that when
the Wilson heirs sold the land to
Darrah they retained the oil and
gas rights, and that they have the
right to lease the same for opera
ton. The Darreh claim Is
but that one eighth of the
oil produced was retained In
the deed OF conveyance and that
he had the right to lease for opera
tion the remaining seven'eightbs.
The Jennings OH Co., have the
timbers on the ground for a rig,
and will no doubt stubbornly de-
fend their interests. Meanwhile
however, the Fisher Oh Co. Is not
likely to give up without strug-
gle. 1t will In all probability de-
velop Into a hard fought battle, and
the courts will have to determine
the respective rights of the parties
to the controversy.-Amos News.

PADEN CITY NEWS

Of these men will build homes and
then there will be business hous-
es to erect, streets will be paved,
plumbers will have work, COMMON
labor will be In great demand.
These are facts and figures that no
sane man can deny. We expect
many of these people will locate in
Sistersville where houses can be
had, lots purchased for less money
than they can be bought for at
Paden City, but with all the houses
we have here, many more will have
to be and will be built. We do
nor think we are far wrong when
we predict that a thousand new
homes will be built here and at
Paden City during the next year.
We have always thought that moth
Ing could ever equal the early oil
excitement here but that was tenn
porary and spasmodic, the boom
that Is coming IS permanent and
will make the new city and Sisters.

almost feels like abandoning that

Is gross foolishness to oppose such

selfish standpoint, the opposition
from the Wetzel county end of the
line Is just what we like. At any

TROTTINGGOAL REACHED

turbed until 1874, when they were
snatched by Goldsmith Maid, who
established a record of 2:14. In 1885
Maud Splaced the record at 2:o8A,
and six years later Sunol reduced It
to 2:o8A. 1t required about forty
years to reduce the record made by
Flora Temple 1o1a seconds, and 1t
Is not strange that enthusiastic
horsemen should by this time have
come to cherish the idea that a fat
two minute record might be posi-
bic.
After some years the record Of
Sunol was gradually lowered by
Nancy Hanks, Allx and others IN
til at last the much desired goal
was reached Tuesday by Lou Dill
on, now queen OF the turf of trot-
ters We admit 1t has taken time,
brains, and patience and money to
bring the American trotting horse
to this point, but the results have
amply justified ali the effort It IS
claimed by many that the fact that
the trotter of the present day IS
required to draw much less weight
than his predecessor of olden time,
will greatly decrease the space be
tween their performances. While
this Is true, to a certain degree, yet
there cannot be the slightest doubt
that great advancement has been
made In the breeding and training
of the American trotting horse In
the past forty years.

On Tuesday was accomplished
what borsemen have been aiming
at all over the world for years. It
was the trutting Of a mile In two
minutes by the California mare,
Lou Dillon on the Readville, Mass.
track.
The best previous record was
that of Cresceus, a stallion, who
trotted mile In 2.o24 at Colum-
bus, Ohio, on August, 2Ist, 1901.
From that figure 1t had been grad
ually lowered during long series
of years, and one of the remarkable
features of Tuesdays performance,
Is the fact that the reduction made
In the record amounts 2 seconds.
It Is over half a century since the
famous trotting mare Flora Temple
covered a mile Ii 2:IoA thereby
breaking the worlds record by so
much that she became the wonder
and delight of all horsemen. For
years her performance remained
unequaled, and the possibility of
such a one as that of Lou Dillon on
Tuesday would have been secuted
by the most experienced horsemen
of the time.
1t was not until June 2Ist, 1867,
that Dexter made his wonderful
record of 2:1754, and was hailed
as the trottiug wonder Of the
world. His laurels remained undis.

Mr.. Behen, of the firm of D. Be-
hen & Son, real estate brokers, OF
Pittsburg, was In the city this morn
Ing on business pertaining to the
lot sale to be held at Paden City On
Wednesday SEPTEMBER the 3lth.
There will be special excursions
run on the railroad, the Electric
railroad and by boat If the boats can
run at that time. A good lunch
will be served, perhaps thousand
dollars will be spent In advertising
before the lot sale Is held. The
object In having the sale so late
Is to give the manufacturers who
nave located at the new city time
to have their plants In good shape
and the buildings we'll under way
so the public can see just what Is
already an assured fact as to the
manufacturing plants that have
already been located In the new
city. Long before that time Street
cars will be running from this city
to Paden City. The Paden Gas
Company will have their gas line
laid into the new city this week
and long before the lot sale there
will be natural gas In Paden City for
sale to any one.
AS has been stated before large
plant Is being erected at this time
at Paden City which will be used
to manufacture cast steel novelties,
bolts and any and everything that
Is used In cast steel. At first this
company decided to build small
plant, but later and after canvasing
the situation carefully they decided
to more than double the capacity
of the plant and 50 have contracted
to erect plant and to employ 700
men, most of whom will be me-
chanics who will receive big
wages. In addition to this steel
plant a bottling and glass novelty
plant Is being built that will en-
ploy $50 men and boys. These
plants are actual facts and by
September 3oth will be we'll under
way and nearing completion. This
means this fall these plants will
give steady employment to 1900
men and boys. Where will they
live? They must have houses.
While Its true many of them can
get homes here 1t will take at least
from five to eight hundred new
dwelling houses to make homes
for them. This means work for at
least a hundred carpenters, many
brick masons, stone nasons, paint
ers and common laborers. Some

While the condition for both win

ever, fulfill the worst fears as to
the effect of the backward spring
and the cold weather OF June. The
government reports the average
condition on July at 79 4. which
Is the lowest ever reported at this
season aud about IoA per cent be-
low thu 10 year average. Not
only Is the average condition
low, bat the acreage planted
shows a decrease of q, 200, 900 acres

be we'll to state, however, that the
greatest damage to corn In years
when there was partial failure Of
the crop occurred in July, and was
due to a comparatively dry spriug
and az unusually hot July. This
year these meteorological condi-
tions nave been reversed and It is
certain that were the estimate made
today 1t would Oe much higher.
