Choice Poultry, Fruit and
Gardening Land.

There has been for long time a
great demand for small tracts OF land
at reasonable price between Parkersburg
and Marietta. close to the electric car
line. Up to the present tim it has ben
impossible to supply this demand. We
have fortunately just been able to make
arrangements with company to place
their land on the market in tracts rang
ing from one to p acres each. This
land is of fine quality and close to the
car line on which daily express car
now runs to bring farm products to
market. Some of these tracts have
many fruit trees on them. The loca-
tions are very desirable and entirely
above high water. They are close to the
beautiful Country Club and Gun Club
Buildings. The price ranges from 800
to $500 per acre according to location.
Terms one-fourth cash, balance one, two
or three years. First corners get choice
of location. Remember there is nothing
else on the market between Parkersburg
and Marietta that can be bought at
such a low price and on easy payments
that is desirable

mlIIloNAlRE's POOR STOMACH.

The. won-out stomach of the over fed
millionaire is often paraded in the pub
lie prints rs a horrible example of the
evils attendant on the possession Of
great wealth. But millionaires are not
the only ones who are afflicted with bad
stomachs. The proportion is far greute-
among the toilers. Dyspepsia and in
digestion are rampant among these peo-
pie, and they suffer far worse fortunes
than the millionaire unless they avail
themselves of standard medicine like
Green's August Flower, which has been
favorite household remedy for all
stomach troubles for over s. years. Au-

choose Charity for Queen.
In scene second Charity laments hi
fate and is consoled by little Miss Rose
Again the undecided jewellers apepar ans
are joined by Princess Goodwill.
The maidens still contend for the

pleads for Charity. Princess Goodwill,
by wave of her wand, converts Charity
into a vision Of liveliness. The Flowers
repent and Charity is crowned Queen

abuse of the government printing office
and the Record. These congressman
and the public printer, as the Washing
ton Post properly charges, have ma
nipulated the Record for partisan pur-
poses Congressman Cowherd has hot
" and righteously protested, but they
are probably grinning over the success
of their open disregard of the house
agreement
l am heartily in favor of cutting the
Record down to an exact reproduction
of each word uttered in congress, with
out addition or subtraction. Let it be
published just as it is taken down by
the expert stenographers who report
the proceedings. Only such a rigid rule
will prevent these barefaced frauds.
Instead of merely waiting two
months, why didn't these gentlemen
wait few days longer and insert the
Chicago platform? But perhaps I am
too fast they may yet put it in as an
appendix to belated speech.

ABUSING the MLeave to Print

When time for debate has been cut
very short by the Republican house
leaders and members had not oppor-
tunity to deliver the;r prepared
speeches it has been customary to Sc
cure from the house leave to print" or
permission to extend speeches in the
Record of the days proceedings. The
Republicans have, with their custom
ary gall. been greatly abusing this
privilege.
Congress adjourned April 2S. Just
before adjournment the house agreed
that no permission should be granted
to extend remarks in the Record un-
less the member should outline his sub
ject matter to the house. Then Mr.
McCleary of Minnesota secured one
minute of time, in which he announced
that he would like to extend his re-
marks in the Record. This was all he
said. Mr.. Olmstead did the same thing.
Now witness their nerve On June 20
a copy of the Congressional Record
appeared containing 100000 words of
their speeches." Following this, run
IN as an appendix, are the speeches
of President Roosevelt delivered here
and there. as he whirled around the cir
Gle, Hon. Elihu Roots eulogies of the
president, Thomas B. Reeds tariff
speeches of years agone, Shaw on the
trusts, Root on the Panama canal, in
terviews with politicians all over the
country and extracts from the Amer
lean Economist, protection organ.
None of this stuff had any business in
the official record of the proceedings of
congress. 1t was put in solely to get
the privilege Of sending it through the
mails free of postage as any part Of
the Record is thus immune.
The public printer was overstepping
his authority when he allowed this

OF course the death of the grand old
man, Paul Kruger, whom Bismarck, a
Judge of men and things, pronounced
one of the greatest statesmen of the
age, has served to arouse renewed and
keenest interest in all things pertaining
to the Beers. The strangest and at the
same time the most important item of
news touching them is that English
statesmen are much concerned as to
their power to hold the Boer republics
In subsection by reason of the enor-

%WN HE most important thing that
@ has happened in politics since
III the adjournment Of the St.
Louis convention is the deela-
ration of the New York Herald in favor
of Parker and Davis. 1t is not quasi
declaration. but bold, clear. strong and
unequivocal, giving reasons upon which
it is made. The Herald is and for
years has been absolutely independent,
and it is independent still. In that fact
is found the great Importance of its
bugle blast for the Democratic candi-
dates. 1t is a clarion call to the indie
pendent voters of the land to rally to
the standard of Judge Parker and Sen
ator Davis. That it means thousands
of votes for them there can be no sort
of question. Straws show which way
the wind blows, and the Herald's edi-
torial is the first straw showing that
the Democrats will win.
