Relief Of Settlers.

Many settlers in Minnesota and the
Dakotas are interested in bill which
passed the senate legalizing land proofs
and entries made outside the limits of
United States land districts.
Itappears that, SUBSEQUENT TO. the
act of 1902 many settlers proceeded to
file entries and complete proof in ac-
cordance with what they supposed to
be the law. The errors were due to
the failure of the local officials to COM
ply with the orders of the general land
office. AS result many settlers were

CHEAT WORK

dow Rexall Catarrh Cure Won Our
Endorsement Strictly On III Merits

When we first heard of Rexau Mucu.
Tone we were not particularly interested
in it. We knew every Rexan remedy
was made of the best materials and by
experienced chemists and pharmacists,
and we were satisfied that when the
Rexall Company produced q catarrh
cure it would be thoroughly meritorious.
But we were not at all excited" about it.
When we saw the formula it struck US
rs something new and very good, 50 that
when some of the first bottles Of
Mucu-Tone arrived we unhesitatingly
recommended it to several chronic suffer-
ers from catarrh-customers of ours.
Within a few weeks the reports began
to come in and as we heard of the prompt
cure of case after case that had stubborn
" sssisted every other medicine and
treatment, our interest grew until now
: we are honestly and earnestly enthusiast
tic about this splendid remedy.

Uy Engineer Spengler, of Chicago, Is
one Of the foremost men of his profession in
this country. The plans for some of the
greatest municipal works in the last few
years have originated in his brain, and
have been carried out under his technical
direction. He is man of commanding
authority in his profession.
Regarding the merits Of Mucu-Tone
he writes:
LAST winter I contracted a case Of the
grippe, and following it suffered from severe
inflammation of the membranes of the nose and
throat, for which could find no relief. feared
I was on the way to chronic catarrh. tried
the usual home remedies, but with merely an
alternating effect. My druggist called my at
tention to the merits Of Mucu-Tone and in the
course of few weeks treatment every trouble
radical. j. H. SPENGLER."
This is the testimony of hundreds.
Rexall Mucu-Tonc works through the
blood. 1t drives out the poisonous
matter with which the muco-cells are
congested, allays the inflammation and
builds up the body. 1t makes sick
people well; weak people, strong.
Remember that catarrh is not merely
disease o. the head and throat, but that it
may affect any or all of the organs of the
body. Remember, too, that Rexall Mucu-
Tone is the only positive and permanent
cure known to science. Give it trial
and if not more than satisfied, we will
refund your money without question.

sive citizen, and has fine oil pro-
duction from a large tract of land
which he owns near Alvy,, this
county.
Property in this city is be-
coming in greater demand with
each passing day. and there are
a number Of other important deals
pending at the present time for
valuable real estate and other
property, which will in all proba-
bility be consummated about the
first of the new year. The new
year has very fattering outlook
for Sistersville, and many new
residences and business houses
and new industries of substan-
tial nature will be constructed ere
the close of the year 1905 within
the corporate limits of our pro-
gressive city.
The round figures, which was
$500, the Deloe property sold for,
is ample evidence of the price that
residence and business property
is commanding here just now. We
are certain to have at least one
more electric railway enter the
city within the next sixty days,
which will mean, much in a gen
eral business way to all branches
of business. The line will also en-
nance the price of all property in
the city to a degree, and will bring
a vast amount of trade from the
section of country in which it
passes through to the city that
otherwise would never have been
Secured. What this city needs
in the way of electric railroads
now is line through to the inter-
ior of the county to some point on
the B. & 0. railroad. We should
have this road constructed by all
means in the very near future. 1t
would be a bonanza for the pro-
jectors and would give the resi-
dents of this city and county ad-
vantages in a business and general
way that no other road would.
Let every influential citizen
throughout the county continue to
boost the project until the road is
constructed.

I'M HONOR OF THEIR
DEPARTED BROTHERS
Impressive Memorial Ceremonies Conducted by
SistersviIIe EIks Sunday Afternoon in the Au'
ditorium Theatre. Eloquent Addresses and
EuIogies. Many Strangers From Out Of
the City Present.

The Sistersville lodge, No. 333,
Benevolent and Protective Order
of Elks, honored the memory OF
it's departed members with i'm
pressive exercises in the Auditor
ium Sunday afternoon. There
was a very large attendance, ev-
cry seat being filled by those who
were eager to witness the beau
tiful and appropriate services,
and they remained seated and
gave strict attention during the
entire ceremonies of the mystic
rites of the order, the eloquence
of the speakers and the artistic
melodies of the musicians. These
annual exercises are always very
pretty and beautiful, but there
were some features in evidence
Sunday that seemed to add espec-
tally to the interest and enjoy
ment of the large audience in at
tendance.
Each year on the first Sabbath
of December, it is the custom of
the Elks in all parts Of the United
Statese to assemble in some pub
lie hall and pay loving tribute to
the memory of members of the
order who, having been summon
ed by that insistent messenger,
Death, have passed the outer and
inner guards Of the unmeasured
and INDICATED lodge room of the
Hereafter, and stood before the
Supreme Ruler Of it to be judged
by Him. During the years past
thirteen members had answered
the summons and passed through
the door to mysteries lying be-
yond, of which no man has told
us the story and back through
which to earth, but One has ever
returned victor over Death.
On the back page Of the pro-
gram, black-barred and black-let-
tered cas- symbolic of the impen-
etrable darkness Of death, into
which they had passed, was the
following list Of absent ones: Rob
ert A. Irwin, John F.. MCGOWAN,
Harry II. Benedict, Dan M. Wal
lace, Friend c.. Cox, Dennis DAILY,
Edward Dalton, Clement NJ.
Clark, James w. Henderson, Dan
iel Padgitt, Charlie Thistle, O. F.
Donley and John C. Cramer.
The professional by the full
Auditorium orchestra was an ex>
ceedingly appropriate introduce
ton to the exercises.
The stage was tastefully and
appropriately arranged. On the
left in front was the desk and
gavel of the Exalted Ruler of
the lodge, back of which and ex-
tending half way or more across
the stage were seated the officers
of the lodge and the speakers of
the day. On the right of the
stage was a realistic representa-
ton Of a newly-made grave, COW
cred with sprigs of evergreen,
half hidden among which were
small incandescent electric lights.

the left of the center Of the stage

was a monument with the names
of the deceased members mounted
by a large and handsome Elk. On
the desk by the stone and gavel
was a beautiful small bronze fig
ure of an elk head. Altogether
the ensemble was artistic, appro-
pirate, impressive and beautiful.
AS the soft strains of the over
ture ceased Exalted Ruler George
f. Bell stepped to the desk and
struck the gavel on the marble
tablet, thus calling the lodge to
order for the opening memorial
service, it was as if one were
really in the mystic chambers of
the order as a noviate. The other
officials rose at the sound of the
gavel and the ritual for the oc-
casion was proceeded with. The
roll-call Of the dead was then
called by the secretary, Lynn
Kirkland.
Mrs. Zou Hastings Frazier of
Wheeling, followed with a beau
tiful solo entitled "Jesus, Lover
of My Soul" Mrs. Frazier was
accompanied on the piano by Mrs.
Geo. f. Bell. Then followed the
responsive service by the officers
of the lodge, at the conclusion of
which the opening ode was sung
by the members of the entire Or
der.
The opening prayer by Rev. T..
G. Meredith, pastor Of the NJ. b.
church of this city, was a beauti-
full appeal to the Heavenly Fa-
Their for his blessing on the lodge
members and their friends. The
address by Rev. AS. Kelley, pas
tor of the. Baptist church, was
both able and appropriate, and
while his remarks were brief they
were none the less interesting.
The orchestra then gave a beau
tiful rendition of "Sorrows and
Tears"
The members Of the Sistersville
lodge felt proud, and justly 50, OF
the eloquent eulogy on "Our De-
parted Brothers." which was eff
fectively delivered by E. L. Rob-
inson, Esq, Of New Martinsville.
Mr. Robinson had apparently
spent much time over his sub
ject. 1t was beautiful in thought
and in words, and was delivered
in most impressive and eloquent
manner and was listened to with
close attention.
At the conclusion of the eulogy
Mrs. Frazier sang a beautiful solo,
the best musical number on the
program, entitled "Love Me, o
God"
Then followed the closing GER
emonies of the lodge, followed by
the members, and the audience
joining by request in singing that
beautiful hymn, "Nearer My God,
to Thee"
The benediction was pronounce
ed by Rev. Y. G. Meredith, and
the large audience passed out as
quietly as if they had been really
attending funeral obsequies.
