Eor Weak. Lanauld PeopIe.

Weak, sickly people often remarked
'If I could only get something that
would nourish me and give me
strength" they do not know why, but
the food they eat is Of no benefit to
them. They gain DO flesh and feel
no stronger. The fact is the stomach
is too weak to perform its work. And
the little appetite they once had is
soon gone. The blood becomes more
thin and watery, bringing on faint sick
spells with loss of memory and ambl-
tlon. There is a remedy for all this
that acts in the right way. 1t is called
DIR. Gums Blood and Nerve Tonic,
and is sold by all druggists for 75c
per box, or boxes for $500. 1t turns
the food you eat into rich, red blood,
making flesh and strength, creating an
appetite because the system demands
sustenance.
For sale by DR.. s. c. Stone, druggist.

VISITORS FLEECED
AT PARKERSBURG

Another unsuspecting visitor
at the great campaign opening Of
the Republican party in this
State, had $3.50 of good Ameri-
can coin when he arrived in
Parkersburg, but when he left
for his home in the evening he
was dead broke. The Individual
in question lost his wad in a so
cial" game of poker, and the
reason he only lost $3.50 was
doubtless due to the fact that he
had no more to lose. The num-
Der of thieving schemes that were
perpetrated in our neighboring
city down the river Saturday
broke all previous records for a
single day. AS result the ia
kers and other strong-arm men
reaped a rich harvest.
We advise our Republican
brethren in the future to only
take along what cash they really
need when they attend political
meetings, especially if the place
selected for holding the meeting
is Parkersburg.

There seems to have been no
end to pickpockets at the pollt-
ical meeting held in Parkersburg
Saturday.
j. A. Soles of this city, was
touched" for his roll of 500.
Mr.. Soles states the money was
taken from one of his panta-
lonos pockets, and the job was
done so slick that he never miss
ed his money until he put his
hnd in his pocket at the hotel he
was stopping at for the pur-
pose of settling his bill. Mr..
Soles also stated that there were
numerous other visitors at the
meeting that had their pockets
picked for sums ranging from $40
to $50.
Over $1,000 is said to have been
lost by another visitor in Park
ersburg Saturday who went up
against one of the numerous
bunco games which had been ar
ranged for the entertainment OF
the unwary.

has been working upon a device

Parkersburg, Sept. 2O.-The
Republican leaders seem to be
afraid of the tax issue in West
Virginia, and do not want the
matter discussed before the peo-
pie. They promised relief from
taxation, but instead have doub-
led or trebled the taxes OF every
property owner in West Nir-
ginia. But they do not want the
people to find it out, and are us
ing every method they can to pre-
vent the fact from becoming
known. Only 500 copies Of the
Acts Of the special session Of the
Legislature were printed, and 1t
is almost impossible to secure a
copy. The Republicans do not
permit any discussion of the mat
ted by their speakers and when
ever one Of them touches on this
matter he is promptly called
down. An instance of this oc-
Cured here last Saturday at the
opening of the Republican cam
paicn in West Virginia. There
were a dozen speakers, not one of
whom referred to State issues in
any manner whatever, except
Gov. A. B. White, who got the
bit in his teeth and started into
