Every Throb Of My Heart Was Plainly Felt, and Sometimes Very
 Painful.

If your pulse Is too strong. and your heart throbs so that you can feel the force of the heartbeat against your chest, your heart is weak and needs at- tention.
 This is usually caused by long contin- ued palpitation, over-work, excessive exercise, heart strain, and the condition indicates serious heart trouble. You should act at once.
 The very best thing to do Is to take Dr. Miles New Heart Cure, remedy that will strengthen the nerves and muscles of the heart, and restore them to their normal condition.
 If you neglect to do this. disastrous consequences will surely follow. You will have smothering spells, pain in the heart, faintness, the valves of the heart will become leaky, and the heart left in a death struggle.
 My heart bothered me so that I could feel every pulsation. Could only that I had one-fifth enlargement of the heart. I had all the usual symptoms of heart trouble. l took about 15 or 20 bottles of Dr. Miles Heart Cure and am completely cured. I have had no symp- tom of heart disease for two years, and am attending to my business affairs, which I could not do before. -

FAMILY RECORD BIBLES.
They Are Still in Demand, But Not Sold to the Same Extent as
 Formerly.

Do wa still sell the old-fasMoned fam fly Bible. with pages in 1t for the record of births. deaths and marriages? Oh. yes," said the bookseller. according to . New York exchange. but not so many of them as we once did.
 'There are more Bibles sold now, tAk- ing them all together. than ever before, and the Bible is issued now in an almost endless variety of forms and styles; but the demand for it in this particular form is now, 1 should say. not more than one-third what it once was.
 Still, we keep these record Bibles to- day in dozen styles, ranging in pries from five dollars to S20. The blank rec ord pages, these often illuminated, are bound in between the two Testaments.
 'In some of these Bibles there is . blank presentation page upon which may be written the name of the person to whom the Bible is presented. with the name of the giver: and in some of them is contained blank marriage ceF. tificate; and in some there are bound In with the pages for the record of births. deaths and marriages, pages for the rec ord of temperance pledges.
 These Bibles are more likely to be bought nowadays by country people. and 1t might be by people of the German race and by Irish Protestants; all likely to be substantial people of comfortable means; conservative people who cling still to time-honored customs.
 "So, while the old-time family record Bible, with pages for the record of births, deaths and marriages, has gone somewhat out of fashion. and is not sold to the extent to which 1t once was, yet 1t is still sold, and the demand for it is still considerable"

CURIOUS HABITS OF WRITING.
Tho Scribbling Mfcr0be Never Leavel Que After 1t Gains
 Lodging.

"The habit of writing is curious habit and one which may not be out grown" said an old scribbler, in the New Orleans Times-Democrat. "It seems to be born in the blood. It is part of the nature of some men to write things. Early in life they begin to yield to an inclination to jot things down; to scribble off few thoughts at idle mo- nsnts. and between times, as 1t were; to versify bit: to philosophize: to put down maxims and axioms, and to scrawl | thousand and ono little nothings which appeal to the fancy from time to time. Once acquire the habit and 1t is thine for aye. No amount of change in life's course; no uphesvals of fortune. no sudden shifts of fate and destiny; no nothing that may come with the feet ing years will ever once break the mind from the bent which prompts 1t to trace in the queer curling symbols which roll cut from the pencils point the little playful nothings about which the soul is wont to dream.
 Dainty, delicate children are these little vagrants which one idly scrawls into existence between times. Often they are bright, deep. subtle and of tho verities; sometimes tney are morose. gloomy, of that sterner stuff which feedt the soul of the hungry pessimists; some times as light and airy as the very foam which bursts laughingly around the ankles of Aphrodite; but whether light or profound, whether gay or sad, these things of mental loafng. these little pet nothings of mental vagabondage. are scintillants which cheer and amuss . fellow as he hurries on from one mile post to another. An, for the habit o( writing! It. pays when the bank fails pays in the sweet consolation one may know from close communion with ones own soul, for man hath not known hia soul until 1t glare at him in such cheap symbols as he may employ in efforts always short of weight. to speak ita weighty sentiments"

A Tall One.

An American in Paris was one day looking at the Eiffel tower, when he was accosted by an enthusiastic French man with: "Ah! my friend, that is a beautiful tower, and doubt very much whether you have anything to beat 1t in America"
 "Wal, stranger" replied the Amer lean, T guess it's good for France, but in America we have tower so high that we have to lower the top at night. "
 Lower the top at night?" replied the Frenchman. For what reason?"
 "Wal, guess 1t is just to let the moon pass, stranger. Good-day. y."-London I1t-Bits.

ANCIENT MILITARY SCHOOL.
Historic Ground on Which the Yosna Men of Louisiana Receive
 Their TratnfnG.

The Louisiana state university and agricultural and mechanical college is known as the military college of the south. says the Baltimore Sun. It is To- cAted at Baton Rouge. and numbers among its graduates many men who are now officers in the regular army. Gen. W. T. Sherman was the first president of the institution before the civil war, and. notwithstanding his espousal of the northern cause, his memory is still rev. cred at this scene of his former labors. and his life-size portrait in oils occupies . prominent place in the handsome as- sembly hall of the college.
 The site of the university Is historic ground. It was for many years mill itary post, and the garrisons of France. England, Spain and the United States have all at different periods occupied 1t. After 1t was abandoned for military purposes 1t was turned over to the state of Louisiana for purposes of educatiolL The original buildings, however. still stand, and. with the flag floating over them, present striking and beautiful appearance.
 Here. in 1779, Calves. the Spanish gov. srnor general of Louisiana. after an en- gagement that lasted for three days, cap- tured the British garrison. The Span- iards were in turn driven out by party ee Americans. and this marked the passing of west Florida from the do- main of Spain. In 1861 the confeder- ates captured the post, and the next year . desperate battle, involving both land and sea forces, was fought near by, and the confederate ram Arkansas was blown up in the view of the land bat tories.
 Many distinguished officers served here while 1t was still military post Among those whose names are associ- Ated with the place are Wilkinson and the first Wade Hampton, Winfield Scott and Zachary Taylor, Grant and Lee and stonewall Jackson. Mcclellan and Joe Johnson, Bragg, Rosecrans, Longstreet, Harney, Thomas and Beauregard, For rest and Phil Sheridan, Hardee and Hood, Hancock and Custer.' Admiral Porter and Bishop" Gen. Polk. Among the great civilians we recall tho names If Abraham Lincoln, Clay and Calhoun and Jefferson Davis. There is hardly . place elsewhere in the south SO rich h historic associations.
 The university is true to its traditions. The sons of Louisiana are soldiers by in- Aeritance, and while they revere the cause for which their fathers fought, ne northern boys are to-day more loyal to the flag which is lowered at sunset every evening to the well-known strains of retreat, while on parade of over 300 ca dets stands on parade at attention. Everything about the university is con- ducted on military lines, and by means of frequent inspections proper system of discipline Is constantly maintained.

Ohio River Trains on B. & 0.

With the change Of the Pan
Handle and Baltimore & Ohio
time cards this spring it is prob
able that there will be a very i'm
portant change made in the oper-
alton of the two roads between
Pittsburg and Wheeling. There
has been some talk of the Baltl-
more & Ohio running the Ohio
river division trains into Pitts
burg over the Pike, or Wheeling
branch of the Baltimore & Ohio.
These trains have been operating
for many years over the Pan Han
die from Wheeling to Pittsburg.
Such an arrangement was made
when the Ohio River railroad was
an independent organization. Sew
eral times there have been efforts
made to have the trains come in
over the Baltimore & Ohio, since
the latter company now owns the
Ohio River road and operates it
as the Ohio River division. 1t is
said that the expiration of the old
agreement between the Pan Han
die and the Ohio River road has
changed the aspect Of affairs re-
Gently, and that the Ohio River dl-
vision trains may operate over the
Baltimore & Ohio into Pittsburg.
There are three of these trains
each day.

Dor town. He is young man OF
pleasing countenance, an eloquent
and logical speaker, and a man
who impresses you at once as be-
ing earnest and sincere. He held
the large congregation in rapt at
tention during his sermon, and
his remarks were brought to a
close long before the congregation
had heard him sufficiently long to
grow at all restless. 1t was an
able sermon, beautiful thoughts
we'll expressed and if Mr.. Helmick
ever breaches here again the peo-
pie who heard him yesterday will
surely avail themselves of the OPP
portunity to hear him again. We
publish in today's paper a good
picture of this splendid young
minister who will always be re-
membered with pleasure by the
people of Sistersville who heard
his eloquent sermon yesterday.
Holy Rosary Church.
The Easter services at the Holy
Rosary church were of their usu-
al impressive nature. The church
was beautifully decorated for the
occasion by the hands and friends
of the Ladies' Aid society, of the
church. The affairs presented a
scene worthy inspectionwith their
many lights and cut flowers and
potted plants. The choir outdid
any former efforts. The organ
was presided at by Miss Eliza
beth Gaffney, of Mt. de Chantel
college, Wheeling, and her execu-
ton showed the marked training
obtained at this institution. The
choir rendered Loesche's mass,
the solos of which with the offer
tory Easter hymn, "Hoec Dies, "
rendered by Mrs. J. E. Wagner,
did credit to this lady's already
fine reputation as a singer.

Judge Gary has issued aA i'm.
portant orderlin the now celebrate
cd Farmers Alliance case, which
will probably dispose of the SIC, :
600 now in the bank, which has
been awaiting the order for some
months. The order was that the
Master of Richland county, John
S. Werner, should advertise for
several weeks for all creditors and
stockholders of the Farmers AL
lance Exchange to present to him
all claims, with proof, prepara-
tory to settlement.
There are several hundred sub.
Alliances throughout the State
which own stock in the Alliance,
each having about 800 worth.
Besides these there are a large
mum Der of claims filed, some of
these being in the form of suits,
this beng the cause of the dis
ruption of the Alliance. All of
these will now be referred to the
Master, who will have the power
to pass upon the validity of each.
1t is safe to say that all of the
fund will be wiped out, although
it is not thought that there will be
any shortage or settlements for
less than hundred cents on the
dollar. The money is now in the

A New National Figure.
Special TO The State.


Washington, April 23.-One
result of the session has been to
develop new national figure in
the Democratic party. Even be,
fore the heglnnlng of the session,
of course, John Sharpe Williams,
of Mississippi, was known as an
able and brillitnt man, and his
reputation extended quite general
ly through the South, but he
could not have been called
national figure. Today he is one
of the best t-known and most popu.
lar of Democrats. His leadership
of the minority in the House has
been moro successful than any
leadership of recent years. With
Mr.. German leading the Senate
minority and Mr.. Williams mar
shaling the House forces, the
Democrats in Congress have been
more formidable than they have
been in the recent past.
Always courteous in debate and
personally very popular with the
Republicans, Mr.. Williams has
nevertheless proved a constant
thorn in the side of the House
majority. There probably is not
man on the Republican side his
equal in mental equipment, and at
the same time in the experience
necessary for successful leader
ship. Mr.. Payne Of New York,
the titnlar Republican leader is no
ways match for him. Mr.. Gros-
venor, of Ohio, and Mr.. Dalzell,
of Pennsylvania, the Speakers
other lieutenants on the floor, can
meet him on certain questions and
hold their own, but neither has
the versatility of the Democratic
leader. Were "Uncle Joe" Can
non again on the floor, he would
hold mis- own In rough and tumble
debate and would get at least an
even break with Williams, but in
the Speakers chair his party is
deprived of his services 80 a
debater. Col. "Pete" Hepburn,
OF Iowa, probably comes nearer
than any other man on the Repub-
lican side being match for Mr..
Williams. He is an adroit and
forceful debater, even if he lacks
the mental acumen which Mr..
Williams possesses to remarkable
degree.

If the Fish Refuse TO Bite.

It's mi ighty disappointing when you We
sat and fished all day,
And had to grin and bear it while the
fish all got away.
You've done the very best you could
with hook and line and bait,
And nothing else remained except TO
trust 70 luck and walt.
You may as we'll take comfort in the
lazy summer day,
And feel the breeze and watch the
Shifting shadows in the bay,
And do your best 10 tell the truth
when You 20 home ar night.
Cause there's no use kicking II the
fish refuse 70 bite.
And when the years are passing most
as swiftly as the days,
And you find the things you longed
for have all turned TO other ways.
It's better to appreciate the laughter
and the song
Than take a solemn vow that all the
world is going wrong.
It's hard to be convinced that you
have struck losing chance,
No matter If the game be love. ambi-
ton or finance.
But the days are full Of sunshine and
the stars all shine at night.
And there's use kicking If the hsh
refuse to bite.

ADDITIONAL WEATHER SERVICE.
A Valuable Addition TO The Daily Weather
Service Secured by Ben Bear.

Mr.. Ben Bear has for several years
been keeping up for the city and coun-
ty daily weather service. as is we'll
known and fully appreciated. He has
now made arrangements TO nave De-
corah placed in direct communication
with the Dubuque station, from
which forecasts for this part of the
state will be made daily. A weather
map of the whole country will also be
posted, giving high and low tempera-
lures in all sections. from which local
conditions may be accurately forecas-
ted. In this state there are twenty
stations where records of temperature
are taken and forwarded to central
stations, and the new station at
Charles City reports to Dubuque. from
which we get it. The new service
will prove popular addition to the
old system, and much more satisfac-
tory.
