PASSES AWAY

gave his best ability to the cause OF
the youpg. What he did then,
doubtless has been help In these
later years to the schools OF this
city.
Mr.. Forsyth was a member In
good standing at the time of bis
death In the Wheeling lodge of /.
O.O.F. He was a good witness
to the fraternity implied In this
fraternity.
For some years this brother lived
In Wheeling and was there one OF
the charter members Of the Presby
terian church. He Is the last one
of that memorable company to die.
On coming to Sistersville, he at
once united with the Presbyterian
church of this city. He was soon
elected an elder and for many years
by his wise counsel and earnest
piety, he did mach to promote the
best interests of the church and
the cause of Christ In the city. For
many years also he was an efficient
SUPERINTENDENT of the Sunday
school. For the last few years
failing health forbade his presence
| In The church and among his fel,
10 wmen but his heart and prayer
always went out for good.
He will be missed In his own
home, In the community and In the
church. 1t Is well to know that
with him "To die Is gain" The
funeral services will be held In the
Presbyterian church Sunday, Feb
7 at ago pm. 1nterment will be
made In Oakwood.

There Is still much floating Ice ir
the river. The stage In the chan
mel at Wheeling this morning was
about s feet and falling. The
packets are still tied up but the re-
sumption of navigation at no far
distant date Is much more favorable
at this writing than at any time
during the past week In case the
weather continues mild some of the
local boats NAV resume their re-
spective trades on Monday.
In spite of the continued cold
weather matters have once more
begun to assume theif normal ap.
pearance along the Ohio.
Rivermen are of the opinion
that the spring trade will be the
heaviest that they have experience
ed for some. The river has been
closed for some time and the high
water combined with the low water
and the Ice have kept the majority
ofthe boats tied up since along In
November.
The coal men are preparing for
an extremely big shipment of coal
from Pittsburg when the stream Is
opened In the spring. There are
millions of bushels of coal In the
Smoky City pools and the men are

RIVER NEWS

waiting for a chance to get 1t out.
A great deal of the products from
the mines of the eastern section OF
Pennsylvania was gotten out on the
crest of the steamboat stage that
followed the food, but there Is still
a great deal left. The owners will
be a little handicapped by the fact
that their boats are scattered along
the stream between Pittsburg and
the far south. Many of them went
south with coal and were caught
down the river by the Ice.
All the dock men along the
stream say they are rushed for
wheel timber, During the time
that the Ice has been In the water
those packets that went on their
trips had their wheels badly SCARED
by coming In contact with the Ice
and the result Is that many of them
have to have new wheels put upon
them.
Notwithstanding the fact that
prophets predict stage better than
a boating stage for February be-
tween the dates of the 4th and 2oth
of February, the rivermen are not
fearing. They are, however; max
ing preparations for the spring
trade.

MI. J. F. Forsyth, one Of the
oldest residents OF the city, died
yesterday afternoon shortly before
FIVE o'clock. He had been falling
for several years but his end came
quickly and he passed peacefully
away.
Mr.. Forsyth was born October
IL, 1924, and was In his eightieth
year, at the time of his death. His
birthplace was In Marshall town
ship Allegheny county, Pa. His
father was one of the early settlers
of that region coming from 1rela1 d

the war of 1872. In this war, the
father was captured and imprisoned
by the British for several months.
Mrs. Eliza Cochran, of Allegheny,
Pa, a sister and Alex Forsyth, OF
Baden, Pa, a brother, survives
him. Mr.. Forsyth was married IN
1868 to Miss Ellen Rolley,who still
lives and mourns her loss.
Too much cannot be said In praise
OF this departed brother, though
he himself would say the least IA
his own behalf.
He came to this city about SO
years ago aud engaged In carpen.

the manager of the planning mill OF
this city. His strict honesty and
and faithfulness In business Is an
honor to his name.

Radium 70 Cure piseases.

New York. Jan. s,--In the forthcom-
ing edition Of the New York Medical
Journal. DR.. s. b. Tracy discusses
the therapeutical possibilities OF radium
advancing the belief that 1t may ulti-
mately be used internally as medi-
cine, He says;
The property possessed by radium OF
importing Its activity to various fluids
as shown In experiments, seems to offer
reasonable ground for hope that, in this
way, 1t may be therapeutically admin
istered internally and the hght against
bacterial diseases be waged directly in
the tissues affected through the agency
OF the Hood and lymph circulations and
the various internal secretions. It Is
true that such retention of properties In
the radium fluid is only temporary, but
that process OF manufacture Is so sim
pie that when radium is available IN
greater quantity than at present, there
will ,e no difficulty in any suitable case
in keeping up the supply Of freshly pre-
pared and active solution.

One of the largest cattle shippers
in South Dakota showed me accounts
of sales for 1902 and 19O3," said Rep.
resentative Martin, which showed
that in 1902 he found competitive mar
ket while in 1903 he got but one bid
on any load of cattle.
Statements of other cattlemen
and of commission men in the west
all corrobrate my opinion that the
stock market Is manipulated by seven
big concerns. 1t makes no difference
whether stock man ships to Omaha,
st. Joseph, Sioux City, st. Louis or
Chicago, he meets te same condi-
tions. The first bid is the only one
he gets. There is no open market" "

that the service is abominsble through

to select a manager who at a salary
