Many members OF the American medi-
cal association, recently In session at At
iantic City, are In town to attend the
unwilling OF the statue OF DR.. Benjamin
Rush. They are discussing an unexpected
and startling paper read by DR.. Anders,
OF Philadelphia, on the danger In SIREN
aous Life". This does not refer to poll
tics, but to certain incursble diseases,
such as the stiffsning and deterioration
OF the arteries, as the result of overwork.
1t was stated that large number Ct ath-
Ietes are victims OF these ailments as q
result OF the strenuous life. and that
many young men are as decrepit as men
OF seventy. The doctors say parents
should be warned against the results of
foot ball, tests OF strength, and over in
diligence In Prof. Atwster's 'saicohoiic
food". The roofing of fans on the
bleachers is not strenuous; st is simply
idiotic.

One Of the never-tiring and very busy
men living In this city is the affable,
white W hiskered John W. Foster, once
secretary OF state and minister to all the
barbarian nations outside OF the United
States. He still manages to act as at
torney for many OF the philauthropic,
benevolent, Christian, missionary and
eleemosynary societies In this country.
Yesterday he interviewed Secretary Hay
regarding the claims OF American mis-
sionaries against the Turkish govern
ment. Mr.. Foster thinks with our large
fleet now in European waters the time is
propitious, after we have skinned the
sultan OF Morocco, to sail down to SIAM
boul and set the sultan OF Turkey trem-
bling ON his throne. Very likely prece-
dent will be found for doing this very
thing.

Triumphs of Modern Surgery.


Wonderful things are done for
the human body by surgery. Or
CANS are taken out and scraped
and put back, or they may be re-
moved entirely; bones are spiced;
pipes take the place of diseased
sections of veins; antiseptic dress
ings are applied to wounds,
bruises, burns and like injuries be-
fore Inflammation sets in, which
causes them to heal without mat
uration and in one-third the time
required by the old treatment.
Chamberlain Pain Balm acts on
this same principle. 1t is an an
tiseptic and when applied to such
injuries, causes them to heal very
quickly. 1t also alleys the pain
and soreness. Keep a bottle OF
Pain Balm in your home and it
will save you time and money, not
to mention the Inconvenience and
offering which such injuries en-
tail. For sale by Hill Brothers.

As Others See Us.

Old Tyler county, the land OF
steady habits, has become one OF
the storm centers of the Republi-
can party fight in West Virginia.
Defeated candidates at the late
Republican primary election
charge all manner of crookedness,
etc., in the election, and R. l..
Gregory, defeated candidate for
the State Senatorship, has secured
from Judge Tavener, of Wood
county, an injunction restraining
the Tyler county Republican COM
mittee from declaring T. P. Hill
the choice of the Tyler Republi-
cans. Tyler is in Judge Willis
district, but as he is a candidate
to succeed himself he feared that
by mixing in the fight it would en-
danger his own election. Old
blue laws Tyler is only one OF the
many counties in the State in
which indecisive battles have been
fought by the grand old party all
among themselves. Marshall,
Wood, Kanawha, Ohio and num-
Der of other counties are all battle
grounds where the G. 0. 2. are
their own issues to a lin

Prof. Garrison has made no par
ticularly warm friends here by es-
housing the cause of Hill. This
thing will rise up against HIM
later on. The Professor pretends
at least to be a friend of our pub
lie school, but comes out openly
supporting a candidate for the
Senate who would no more vote
for an independent school district
here than he would vote to hang
himself. Perhaps we will be able
to dispense with Garrison's SER
vices later on. We dislike to pay
a man to prevent our school from
prospecting. Better employ Sis
tersville men only after this or
at least men who will work for the
success of our schools.

After many weary years and
numerous decisions OF varying
shades and colors the Supreme
court. without playing them has
found out that slot machines are
gambling devices within the mean
ing of the statute. 1t is well for
the peace of the State that at last
we know that slot machines really
are gambling devices, though not
many believed them to be phllan-
thropic institutions. More par
ticularly is this decision pleasing
because it will set at rest the
doubts Of numerous prosecuting
attorneys on the subject.
