A CASE OF IT.
MANY Like It In sistersyille.

The following case is but one
of many similar occurring daily
in Sistersville. 1t is an easy mat
ter to verify its correctness. Sure
ly you cannot ask for better proof
than such a conclusive evidence.
Thomas Fleming, proprietor of
the Commercial House, on Tenth
street, Moundsville, says: "Four
years ago my back ached so ,ex-
cruciatingly that if l even took
a long full breath l felt it. When
the attacks were in the acute
stage I could scarcely get around
and even in bed there was not
single position 1 could assume
which brought rest or comfort.
To stoop or to lift even a pound
caused twinges across the small
of my back; in fine, despite the
fact of doctoring and using unllm-
tied quantities of medicine, all
guaranteed to cure kidney COM
plant l actually think | grew
worse in place of better. Doan S
Kidney Pills came to my notice
and I took them as directed. The
result turned out as predicted, and
the attack ceased. Since then ]
have not had a symptom of a re-
turn. After this positive proof of
the merits of Doan's Kidney Pills
all residents of this vicinity suffer-
ing from their back or kidneys
stand sadly in their own light if
they do not give Doan's Kidney
Pills a fair trial"

ACCUSED OF KILLING MAN
Five Men Arrested at Winchester
on a Serious Charge.
ASHBY PUGH CANNOT BE FOUND
Said To Have Been Attacked and Beaten BY
George Carter, Who is Now in
The County Jail.

Five men named George, Charles,
Raymond and Hunter Carver, broth r.
and Edgar Carter-were ~rrestei Wsd-
nesday afterncon near Winchester in
connection with the disappearance Of
the Carvers' cousin, Ashby Tneh,
who is believed to have been mu der
ed. George and Charles Carver were
committed to Jail without hail and
the others were released on $500 bond
each.
The case is an nut sual one and has
caused the greatest excitement about
Winchester. On Monday morning
Pugh was severely beaten and kicked
bv the Carvers and Carter in the road
near Abrams Greek.
George Carter admits having had a
fight with PuGb, but the others saw
they were merely lockers on Pugh,
according to the men, went to the
creek to wash the blood from his face
and has not been seen since that mo-
ment.
When attacked by George Carver
Pugli was on his way to Winchester
to accept position. He never reach
ed Winchester and although large
bodies of searchers have secured the
surrounding country and dragged the
streams, no trace of the missing man
has been found. 1t was learned that a
mysterious wagon was seen near the
scene of the alleged crime the night
following the fight, and it is the gem
eral impression that Pugh's body was
hauled away in the vehicle and dis
posed of.
