MANY, MANY THANKS.

The Fairmont West Virginlan is
the name of the new Republican daily
that entered the field on Tuesday,
April 18th. Judging from the appear
ance of the first issue OF the daily
West Virginian it will be slayer, and
one of the best dalies in this section
Of the State.
Lamar c. Powell, for many years
owner and editor Of the Weekly West
Virginian, is managing editor OF the
new daily, which is owned by the Fair
mont West Virginian Publishing Com
pany, of which George NJ. Jacobs is
president. NJ. c. Tough is city edltor.
and J. Z. Powell, business manager.
Under the management of these gen.
tlemen, who are all experienced news
Daper men, the West VirSinlan IS
bound to succeed. Fairmont and Ma
rion county have long needd daily
Republican organ, and the gentlemen
at the keys of the West Virsinian Will
produce the sweetest of music Tor the
Republican party of that section,
while at the same time they Will be
playing the dirge to the tune of which
Democracy has so often been laid to
rest-Morgantown Post

Let's see. The Hon. w. A. MacCor-
kle said some time ago that he was
protectionist and sound money man.
While he declared that he was out OF
politics, he denied that he had switch
ed entirely over from Democracy
How did he get into the band wagon
so soon2 Then there is the Hon.
Charles E. Hogg, Of Mason county,
who in an interview during the past
wear or so declared that he was
through with the Democratic party
for everrnofe and announced his IN
tenticn of supporting the Republicans
in the future. How did he get mixed
I'D again in the Democratic councils?
Then, too. there is our distinguished
old friend. johnson n. Camden. OF
ParkersburS who denounced Bry-
anism and has been identified more
or less with the Republicans since W.
How does he come to go to the st.
Louis convention, under the disguise
of sound exponent Of the Democra-
tic faith? Strange bed fellows this
game of politics does maAe.-Wheel-

THE NEwsDAILY PAPER

Editors West Virginian:
We are glad our thriving town has
two daily papers
III We think the time has come when
the town can support them and ~ t
speaks volumes, and proves that Fair Fair:
mont is still on the upward move, and
is destined to become one sGof the
leading cities of our little Mountain
State. Yes, we hail every legitima
enterprise with joy, and look upon II
with an unse1fish eye, knowing that
it takes many things to develop anc
unfold the future to us.
I'VE do not pass as critic, but
wish to congratulate the new born
daily, while yet in its swaddllns
clothes, and surely yesterdays issue,
for its makeup, and neat and tidy ap-
pearance will compare favorably with
any daily Of the State. May the young
thing grow and get fat, and sleek, and
those who see and read it feel none
the poorer-a happy progressive peo-
pie.
A FRIEND.

THANKS FOR KIND WISHES.

The initial copy of the Daily Fair
mont West Virginian has been re-
ceiyed and shows q remarkably well
edited and newsy paper for our neigh
Dor town out in Marion county. The
West Virginian has been conducted
as weekly by L. G. Powell Son
for many years, but stock company
was organized which purchased the
old plant and many new additions
have been made to it in the way OF
linotypes and other machinery. The
West Virginian will continue to
preach the doctrine of Republicanism
but it announces that it will give the
news first and permit politics to come
in as a secondary consideration. The
Telegraph extends it's heartiest good
wishes to the West Virginian and
trusts it may find the daily field i'll

GENTLY profitable to continue the

swimming holes in the river, and since:

Ex-State Senator Morley. OF Pres
ton county, relates the story OF a
tender-hearted man whom he saw on
a recent trip. There was a Pullman
back of a day coach and an excited
man rushed into the Pullman exclaim-
ing: "a woman has tainted in there;
has anyone little whiskey?" The
excited individual selected the largest
one, placed it to his lips and drank
its entire contents, handed it back to
the owner, and said with a deep sigh:
of satisfaction: 81 never could stand
to see a woman faint.

Democratic convention at Charleston
this week. in which some life and
vigor were manifested, brought about
doubtless by the course of the Intel
Egencer and a few other papers,
which for the past few months lost
sight of everything but Mr.. DawSon's
interests and those of tax reform,
probably caused the venerable STATE
organ to realize that it has been neg
lecting it's party's interests.
The Fairmont West Virginian. (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1904-1914, 1904-04-22

From the reports sent out from the
Charleston convention, it seems that
the Democratic party in West Virginia
poses as "a white mans party, and
is favorable to "a white mans gov
ernment" Negro domination is to
be made an issue. We suppose the
Democrats think that such slogan
sounded will frighten some white Re
publicans. and that the coIored voters
are of little conseqI epce to them
Our colored brethren are not the
fools the Democrats take them to be.

We Paid 100000

For the American rights to Liquo-
zone before we made the first bottle.
That is the highest price ever paid
for similar rights on any scientific dis
covery. Before paying this price we
tested Liquozone for two years,
through physicians and hospitals, in
this country and Others. We proved,
in thousands of the most difficult cases
obtainable what Liquozone would do.
We: cured with it hundreds Of pa
tients who had been given up to die.
We cured almost every disease which
was known as incurable. We con-
tmued these tests until the physicians
who made them stated that Liquo-
zone was Of more value to sick hui
mainly than all the drugs in the world
combined. Then we staked on the
product our fortunes and our, reputa-
tons. n
We tell you these facts to indicate
the value Of Liquozone. It is easy to
make claims, and easy to question
them. But when men of our class
pay such a price for a product, no one
can doubt that we have great reason
for our faith in it.
We use Liquozone daily in our fam
lilies. We serve 1t to every employee
in our laboratory-400 Of them. We
use it in all the water we drink to
prevent germ contagion. We use it
to keep we'll, as you will do when you
know it.
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1904-02-22
We win Buy

A SOC bottle of Liquozone and give
it to you to try. Simply send us the
coupon below. Tell us that you have
never used it. Tell us for what you
want it. BY return mail we will send
you an order on your local druggist
for full size bottle, and will pay
your druggist ourselves for it.
Our reason is this: Thousands of
people whom Liquozone could save
are dying to-day without it. Hun
dreds of thousands are helpless and
sick, simply for the lack of Liquozone.
We cannot, under conditions like
those, wait to convince the sick ones
by argument.
Any slow method Of introducing Lii
quozone would seem almost a crime
knowing what we do of this product.
And, knowing, as we do, that nothing
else in the world can accomplish what
Liquozone does. So we publish no
testimonials, no evidence of cures.
But we buy a soc bottle and give it
free to every sick one we learn Of suf-
fering from a germ disease. Thus we
get Liquozone into immediate use, and
let the product itself prove it's power.
And we publish this offer in 1890
newspapers and magazines, reaching
practically every home in America.

Kills Inside Germs.

But the most important fact is that
oxygen is also a gern1icide. No germs
can exist in the presence Of an excess
of oxygen. The reason is that germs
are vegetables; and an excess of oxy-
gen-the very life Of an animals
deadly to vegetal matter
And SO with Liquozone. 1t is so
certain that we publish on every bottle
an offer of $1,000 for a disease germ
that it cannot kill. Yet it is not only
harmless, but of the utmost benefit to
the cells of the human body.
This is the fact which gives to
Liquozone its remarkable value. It
solves the great problem of killing
germs in the body without killing the
tissues, too. And there is no other
way to do it. Any drug that kills
germs is poison, and it cannot be
taken internally. For that reason,
medicine is practically helpless in any
germ disease.
Liquozone, taken internally, goes
wherever the blood goes; and as no
germ can escape it, and none can resist
it, the results are inevitable. A germ
disease must end when the germs are
destroyed; nothing is more certain
than that. And every physician
knows that a germ trouble can never
be cured until then. The use Of Liqu-
ozone, in place of medicine, is fast
becoming universal among modern
physicians.
