EVERY farmer in West Virginia

EVERY farmer in West Virginia
ought 10 vote against the Republican
ticket for the outrageous treatment
this class of our people received at
the recent session of the Legislature.
In addition to the injustice of assess
ing farm lands at the price that a
purchaser may offer for it, virtually
about doubling the assessment, the
Legislature seemeG to take particular
pleasure in placing additional burdens
upon sgriculturists Heretofore If a
farmer owed money on his live stock
or upon agricultural impleme nts, be
bad the privilege Of deductng the
amount OF bis notes from the assess
ment. The Legislature, we are IN
formed 10y Delegate Wetzel, has taken
away this privilege, and while the
holder OF the note is supposed to pay
taxes on the money it represents the
farmer must now also pay full value
f-r the cattle or horses or sheep or
machinery Tor which the note was
given. What makes this blow at the
farmer more pronounced is the fact
that a merchant or other business
man who owes money on bis stock
still has the privilege Of deduciing
the amount of his Indebtedness from
the assessed value of his property.
Another burden that the farmer is
made to shoulder is the assessment Of
all his lie stock In the past he has
not been required to pay taxes on
animals under one year Old. Now he
must hue up all OF his colts and calves
his pigs and lambs, his spring chick
els and his goslirgs, and everything
else on the farm, and deliver Their
pedlgrees 10 the assessor and have
them taxed And the assessment is
not fixed at the actual cash value, but
at the price for which the owner
could sell it at voluntary sale.
There Is probably not farmer in
the State whose assessment will not
be heavily increased the next year if
the laws passed at the special session
are carried out.

New Gold Field Found.

Much excitement has been caused in
Australia by the announcement Of the
discovery Of new gold field in the
northern part of the island. Prospec-
tors are flocking to the territory as rap
idly as possible. In our country the
rush for wealth is just as much in evil
dence, but in the excitement we forget
TO look after our health until sickness
comes, and then it is sometimes too
late. Preserve your health above every
thing else and you will then have far
more precious treasure than all the gold
in the world. The best means OF pro-
tecting your health is TO take Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters at the first sign
OF Indigestion, dyspepsia, constipation,
billiousness, liver troubles or malaria.

Mr.. Mcqueen gave an excellent en-
tertainment last night which was at
tended by an immense crowd. 1t
was surprising to see this young man
hold the strict attention ofeverybody.
His statements were all reasonable,
and at the close of the lecture many
stepped up to shake him by the hand
and procure the remedy. He will be
in the city for ten days giving lee
lures and entertainment every night,
which are free for everyone. He was
asked "how he managed to cure peo-
pie of diseases that had baffled the
best physicians of the world ?" He
replied, THAT he believed there was
a cure for every ailment or disease
that flesh is heir to If we only knew
where to search for it i'll Natures
laboratory. Why, feel that no case
of catarrh can be found that this Won
derful remedy, Plant Juice, will not
cure. Many people suffer and do not
know the cause as one case | will refer
you to. Mrs. FISHERMAN, of Cumber-
land, came to me and told me she was
very nervous; stomach was bad weak
back; sometimes appetite was good,
then she did not care to eat bite for
day; could not sleep well; tired ;
sometimes dizzy, and had been suffer
ing for years with heart trouble and
disease peculiar to women. She used
Plant Juice several days and found
the cause of her trouble, tape worm,
removed head, neck and body meas
uriug A feet. After this parasite was
removed she improved rapidly and
today is hale and hearty. Thousands
of cases have been cured by this rem
edy where there seemed to be no
hope"
The lecturer declared that seventy
FIVE per cent Of the people Of this eli
mate were affected with ca'arrh in
some fits various forms. Thousands
Of men and women have filled untime-
ly graves, victims of catarrhal poison,
who never knew they were suffering
from this terrible disease. In vivid
terms he explained how constipation
and colds filled the blood with ca
tarrhal mucous, the membranes Of the
nasal cavities and air passages become
inflated, followed by liberation, the
poison mucous dropped into the throat,
the lungs become affected, and where
there should be health, strength and
vigor, came weakness, consumption,
wasting diseases and early decay, be-
cause there was not sufficient vitality
in the impoverished system 10 resist
the poison. Mr.. Z. Callingham, of
Clarksburg, prominent merchant,
said: II have had catarrh for over
two years. l had a dull headache.
Ny head was always stopped up and
the nasal passages infamed and sore.

1!Oung Plants

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
'.@crs. Soil may be the same
I'd seed may seem the same
ut some plants are weak and
.lherS strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
tlrvation, not because of lack
/ food, but because the food
IS not feed.
SCOTS Emulsion reallyfeeds
nd gives the child growing
,rcngth.
Whatever the cause of weak
ness and failure to grow

To the field of great renown,
Willing time with iestS and miles
Free of Schoolroom and its duty,
Viewing scenes Of wondrous beauty,
Thus we made the Jolly ride,
Which IN memory shall abide.

With its soft, green, velvet sod,

Which the passing stranger reads

With their kinsmen in the strife.

UNDER the new assessment law
passed at the special session Of the
Legislature, the farmer must have his
real and personal property assessed
at the price which it would bring at
voluntary sale, and this is true Of
real estate owners and other ta1pay-
ers, of course. For instance, if a
man has farm now assessed at $40
an acre, and someone who wants it
saws be will give $50 an acre for it,
up must go the assessment. Or if a
fellow has a pretty good horse that is
assessed at 800 and neighbOr says
he would give $3.50 for it, the assess
or must increase the rate. So it goes
on with other property, and If the
assessor fails to increase the rate in
accordance with the provisions Of the
new law the State Tax Commissioner,
a high-salaried officer who has no sort
Ct sympathy with local conditions, is
liable to come around and make
trouble for the assessor.
And this is the work Of a Legisla-
ture that was supposed to put tax
on coal, oil and gas, tie property Of
the enormously rich corporations Of
the State.
