The Democrats of Sistersville
and Lincoln district are going to
the convention at MiddlebOurne
the 9th of July to vote for which
ever man they find is the most
popular candidate for Sheriff and
every other county office. If all
the delegates will 60 in the same
spirit of fairness we will nominate
the right men and there are more
than enough Republicans in this
county who believe in decency,
honesty and fair politics to elect
the men who will be nominated
the 9th. It's not an issue of poll
ties but whether or not the good
old county of Tyler is to be ma
nipulated by dishonest and cor
rupt men or not.

A CASE OF TT.
Many Like It In Sistersville.

The following case is but one
of many similar occurring daily
in Sistersville. 1t is an easy mat
ter to verify its correctness. Sure
ly you cannot ask for better proof
than such a conclusive evidence.
Thomas Fleming, proprietor of
the Commercial House, on Tenth
street, Moundsville, says: -Four
years ago my back ached so ex-
cruciatingly that if l even took
a long full breath l felt it. When
the attacks were in the acute
stage I could scarcely get around
and even in bed there was not a
single position l could assume
which brought rest or comfort.
To stoop or to lift even a pound
caused twinges across the small
of my back; in fine, despite the
fact of doctoring and using unlim-
tied quantities Of medicine, all
guaranteed to cure kidney COM
plant l actually think l grew
worse in place of better. Doan s
Kidney Pills came to my notice
and l took them as directed. The
result turned out as predicted, and
the attack ceased. Since then l
have not had a symptom of a re-
turn. After this positive proof of
the merits of DOan's Kidney Pills
all residents of this vicinity suffer-
ing from their back or kidneys
stand sadly in their own light if
they do not give DOan's Kidney
Pills a fair trial"

ALL OVER THE HOUSE.
Monos-ans the Correct Thing In Mark.
inq Fine Linen.

While the simple initial is per-
fectly correct, the monogram is the
more elegant method of marking
linen. The same initial or mono
gram should be used on all house
hold linen.
French embroidery is the most
approved form of decoration, and
this is done in fine pure white mer
cerized cotton or linen.
The letters on sheets, pillow cases
and tablecloths are usually three
inches in height; for towels and
dinner napkins two or two and one
half inches in height, and one or
one and one-half inches in height
for smaller napkins.
Sheets are stamped exactly in the
middle of the top end, about two or
three inches from the hem, with the
top of the letter toward the middle
of the sheet, so that the letter reads
correctly when the sheet is turned
back. Pillow cases are marked in
the same manner, with letters two
inches above the hem, the lower end
of letters nearest the hem. The let
tiers on towels should be in the same
relative position, except when the
end is ornamented with drawn
work. Then of course the embroid-
cry should be above it, regardless
of measurements. Pillow shams are
marked directly in the center. On
the tablecIoths place the letters top
upward. either bias or straight with
the corner anu eight inches from
the edge: on napkins in the same
way, with letters two and one-half
inches from the edge.

The Valley of the Nile

Is no richer than the fertile coun-
try traversed by the Illinois Gen.
trail railroad in the States of
Tennessee, Mississippi and Lou
isiana. Northern farmers have
awakened to this fact and are
rapidly settling here, for they ap-
preciate the fact that the soil,
crops, climate, water, markets,
ETC., are all that could be desired
and they are buying land while
the prices are yet very low. Write

New Uses For Potatoes.

Grated potatoes soaked in water
in the proportion of two medium
sized potatoes to the quart make an
excellent liquid for sponging wool
en- goods or for washing delicately
colored fabrics.
A slice Of potato will clean oil
paintings without injury and dipped
in baking soda will brighten silver.
Chopped potatoes and a little So
da or ammonia will remove all
cloudiness or discolorations in ca
rates or vinegar cruets.
Brighten the zinc under the stove
by rubbing with raw potatoes.
If quickly done, raw potatoes will
remove spots from polished dining
table. Finish with equal parts of
turpentine and melted beeswax.-

Strikes In Russia.

When strikes occur, there is no
delay in dealing with them. Troops
are modified at once. The printers
in Moscow, for example, struck last
autumn. The strikers marched in
procession along a few streets, clam
oring for shorter hours. They COM
planned that they had been COM
PEELED to work overtime and that no
compensation had been given for
the extra labor. General TrepOr,
chief of police, issued notice that
any man refusing to return to work
would be excluded forever from
Moscow. This stopped the move
ment. Such notices have stopped
similar movements elsewhere. -

The Summer Kitchen.

The kitchen woodwork should be
as simply finished as possible, no
molding to catch dust, no orna-
mentarion of any kind. White and
green are the coolest colors for the
kitchen. Perhaps the best thing is
to paint the walls so that they may
be washed and kept clean from the
greasy smoke of cooking. Carpets
in the kitchen are most undesirable.
The best covering, unless of course
Il hardwood floor is possible, is a
softly tinted linoleum. 1t wears
well and can be washed easily.

COOKING Fresh Vegetables.

All fresh vegetables should be
cooked in boiling sailed water. Too
much care cannot be taken in wash
ing those that have been exposed to
dust in city markets if they are to
be eaten raw. For cleaning vegeta-
bles nothing else is so convenient as
o brush with stiff bristles. Negeta-
bles keep their color better if cook
ed without covering.

These things, if they are DESTROYS
Of them, they can get for few shil-
lings at any village inn.
But rather let that stranger see,
if he will, in your looks, accents and
behavior, your heart and earnest
ness, your thought and will, that
which he cannot buy at any price in
any city and which he may travel
miles and dine sparely and sleep
hardly to behold.-Emerson.

in making the companies change
their routes or places for putting

The King of Spain is to pay a
visit to England's King, and the
event will make busy times for
many officials, not alone through
the many ceremonies that will
have to be gone through with, but
in the way of detectives, guards
and soldiers who will be required
to protect the monarchs from as
sassins. These royal visits are ex-
pensive, and it is doubtful if
those who make them derive any
enjoyment from the same. And,
again, it is more a visit of expe-
diency than one of cordiality that
causes such a visit.

Chief Duncan of the Fire Depart

Chief Duncan of the Fire Depart
ment had narrow escape last Mon
day. The large fire wagon No.
had just passed Shelby Street, an
swering alarm No. 81, when he, with
his small son in his buggy was COM
ing up Shelby with his horse in
dead run and as he started across
Washington avenue, his horse ran
into the ladder truck which was just
behind No. I, knocking him to the
ground and the rear end of the truck
some five feet around, but it was but
a few seconds before the horse was
up again and at full speed, while the
ladder truck was speeding on to fire.
Had Chief Duncan been half sec
ond quicker he would have been run
over by the truck and no doubt badly
injured, but luckily, as it was, he
escaped without a scratch and his
horse with only a few cuts.
