while loading goods in his wagon
at Sistersville ran small splinter
in the index finger, on the inside,
near the knuckle joint The
splinter merely penetrated the
epidermic layer of the skin,
scarcely drawing blood. He drove
home, and was caught in the
rain, which wet his glove thor
oughly. This or some other cause
poisoned the slight wound, and
that night his hand and arm be-
gan to we'll, and his suffering was
intense, but the next day the
pain ceased but the swelling in
creased until last Sunday, when
DR.. Campbell was called in and
found the palmar arch OF
the hand was a mass of pus and
made number of missions and
relieved the hand. Blood poison
had set in to some extent. Mon
day the whole palm Of the hand
had to be cut away, and it was
feared that the hand would have
to be amputated. The arm is
swollen to the shoulder, but the
patient is better today. The pa
tient requires the constant atten-
ton of nurse. James A. Baker,
who graduated from a medical
college in Baltimore, is perform
ing the duties of nurse.
The Prohibition party and the
people in general assembled at
the Court house Wednesday night
and were addressed by Rev. G.

good impression. A full court
room was present, and listened to
his speech. The audience consist
ed of both sexes, and all seemed
to enjoy the entertainment. The
Rev. Miller will speak to the peo-
pie of Sancho, at the Ash church,
tonight.

sending his fee to the Republican
Executive committee, but had de-
posted the same to the credit Of

treasurer of the Executive COM
mittee had not been notified of

though the money had been de-
posted about April Is, 1904. Mr..
