strawberry SEASON OVER.
Home Grown Product Is About
Off the Market.

"The local strawberry season is
practically at an end" said a well
known produce merchant of this
city this morning.
The strawberry season COM
menced quite late this year owing
to the general lateness of the
spring, and it is ending at its us
ual time, which makes it a rather
short season.
There will be few more home
grown berries on the market for
some days yet, but the most OF
them will be imported and, of
course, can not be as fresh as those
grown near this city. So far as
that is concerned, there are few
strawberries grown anywhere as
good as those produced in the
country surrounding this city.
The berries have advanced
somewhat in price already. 1t
will not be long until raspberries
make their appearance on the To-
cal market, and when they have
had their inning the fine Tyler
county blackberries will have a
show.

The Lions Price.

Amazing prices are paid to the
leading musicians when they are in
duced to entertain at private houses.
One or two, notably Jean de Reszke
md Calve, refuse such engagements
on any terms. A New York multi
millionaire and patron Of mnsc, a.
ing debarred from attending Kube-
lik's first concert, paid $500 for
the privilege of having the young
vioinist play for one hour II his
own music room. Nine. Sembrich
could proffer gratuitously her voice
and her time to help raise money fos
charity and almost in the same
breath decline a tempting offer that
began with $4,000 and inc. eased to
"any sum she pleased to name" for a
wealthy mans musicale. Another
soprano accepted 81, 500 for an even.
ing only on condition that her hus'
band should be included in her host,
ess' arrangements and should re-
ceive $500. Every year Paderewsh
contributes to charity the entire pro-
ceeds of one recital. When he con-
sents to play in private at all he
never abates a penny of his $4,000
fee.-Everybody's Magazine.

The Girl Athlete.

When the young woman athlete is
portrayed We generally see COM
bination of Juno and Amazon, a
stalwart, not to say strapping, type
made current by G. D. Gibson. As
matter of fact, in the track ath-
letes at Vassar last spring it was an
entirely different build of girl who
took the lead. The feminine records
for running broad jump and stand
ing broad Jump were both broken
by gentle, fragile looking girl who
would almost be called little, but
who nevertheless lifted the records
to respectively IA feet 612 inches
and z feet Z inches. Another rec
ord breaker who did the 22O yard
run in 80 3-5 seconds and the fifty
ward dash in 6 3-5 seconds is slen-
der to the point of frailness and
must weigh under 125 pounds.
There were dozens of typical women
athletes sitting in the grass cheer
ing the events, but as rule that was
as far as they took part. The hon
ors went to champions whom no
seeker of the typical would have
dreamed of pointing out.-Every-
body's Magazine.

Triumphs of Modern Surgery

4I1u4uH1Ao Va 34O0V4o SIo 6S3y'
Wonderful things are done for
the human body by surgery. Or
gans are taken out and scraped
and put back, or they may be re-
moved entirely; bones are spliced !;
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's Pain Balm acts on
this same principle. 1t is an an
tiseptic and when applied to such
injuries, causes them to heal very
quickly. It 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.

To Accusations That He Was As

Sir:-In the Wheeling News Of

me with conspiring with Ran
dolph Stalnaker, S. G. Pyle and
the B. & O. Railroad company to
defeat the said r. L. Gregory for
the State Senate in this, the Sec
ond Senatorial district; stating
that the B. & o. Railroad COM
pany, through Randolph Stalna-
ker, was furnishing me money to
conduct my campaign. 1t is a
fact that I met at the Fort Henry
club, in Wheeling, April 10, 1904,
II. G. Richards, John A. Howard,
S. G.. Pyle, Randolph Stalnaker
and others. There was no con-
spiracy, no money offered me by
Randolph Stalnaker, the B. & o.
Railroad company, or any repre-
sentative for said railway COM
pany, neither have I received one
cent from said company, directly
or indirectly, and 1 unhesitatingly
denounce Mr.. Gregory's charges
as not only unjust and misleading,
but absolutely false.

To Make Hair Grow

To stop the hair from falling
out, first of all, you must cure
your scalp. Nothing in the world
will make hair grow except a
clean, healthy scalp.
YosT's MEXICAN ECZEMA
AND DANDRUFF JURE
is not an ordinary hair tonic, but
It is the most effective skin and
scalp cure known. It will pene-
trate the skin and scalp, and it
contains the proper ingredients to
kill any disease germ, which is
the cause of it all. 1t is not greasy
nor sticky, and will positively
cure after everything else has
failed, or your money back.
