River Traffic Improving.

Traffic on the Ohio is gradually
increasing, and business in gen
eral is regarded much more ia
vorable at the present time than
a week ago. What is most need
ed now is some good weather to
dry up the country roads and
steamboat landings along the
river. The LOrena passed up last
evening just after dark on her
way from GAINESVILLE to Pittsburg.
The steamer was almost blocked
off when she reached this port
with an immense cargo of miscel-
laneous freight, which consisted
of live stock, poultry, eggs, hoop
poles, lumber and locust posts.
Whenever the Lorena's whistle
is heard on her trip north the
music Of barnyard may be ex-
pected to follow, for there is in
variably large consignments of
beef cattle, calves and poultry
upon her decks for the Pittsburg
markets. The steamer passes
through a good farming country,
and many of the people are en-
gagged in raising stock and pro-
duce.

EX-SENATOR CAMDEN
ACANDIDATE

The Southern Democrats refuse

Parker has secured the delegates
of New York solid and will be
nominated. We owe the build nc
of the Ohio River railroad to Sen

been a faithful party worker,
spending much of his time and
money, and we hope the dele
gates of this county will cast a
solid vote for the Senator as a

and a number of indictments will
be returned to the court this ev-

One of the attorneys for the
Messrs. Lowry informed us yes.

indictment against VanCamp for
shooting Lowry. We hardly be-
lieve this, but that was the opin.
ion of an adverse attorney who

some voters cast a ballot at the

a heavy fine and Imprisonment in

will be pleased to learn that ex-
Senator johnson n. Camden, OF
Parkersburg, is candidate for
the appointment of a delegate-at-

It's encouraging to have such
men coming to the front to take
an active part in the coming elec-
ton. It's needless to say that
Senator Camden is not a Hearst
man. He is in favor of Judge
Parker, whom it is conceded now
by the best posted politicians,
will be the nominee of the Dem
ocratic party for President.
Hearst will not have one-third of
the delegates with all his money.

NEW ZEALAND GEYSERS.

Among Them IL Said to BE the Big
gest Spouter In the World.
Yellowstone park is reputed to have
the most magnificent geysers in the
world, but their reputation is based
upon the statements Of travellers who
have never been to New Zealand and
who know nothing of it's natural won
ders.
Leaving Auckland by fast express
train, journey of eight hours brings
one to Rotorua, where may be seen the
most splendid geyser which is proba-
bly, to be found anywhere in the world.
To give one some idea of the magni-
tude of the geyser need mention only
the height Of some of the surround
ing objects. Over the Inferno crater"
which contains a seething lake Of wa
ter, is small shelter shed $50 feet
above the plain. The surface Of the
water in the geyser basin when at
rest is about forty feet below this
plain. The height Of the eruption
must often be about 900 feet. This
is by no means exceptional. Higher
"shots" have been recorded. 1 have
myself seen a shot computed at 1900
feet. Some months ago the area Of
the basin was measured in a small
boat by Mr.. Buckeridge and guide.
They found that the area is about two
and a half acres, from which it may
be inferred that this geyser may well
be called the largest in the world.
The geyser plays about twenty-five
times each month, is very erratic and
gives no warning when it is about to
erupt. The theory is advanced that
the basin is somewhat like a funnel
and that when the water and stones
are elected the larger stones return
and jam in the neck, thereby choking
the outlet, so that an enormous pres
sure Of steam must shift them. When
the pressure is sufficiently great to
blow out the distractions it naturally
would eject water to great height
The theory, however, is at best rather
fanciful.
This geyser is not the only one to
be seen in the vicinity. Others may
be mentioned, such as the Pohutu,
Wairoa, Feather, Papakura and 9TH
ers, besides mud volcanoes.-Scientifc

ODD MOON BELIEFS.
The Orb Of Night as Food For tn
Immortal Gods.

1""Ort01 OOQSs
Certain it is that belief in the moon
us the abode Of the fathers was widely
spread among the people speaking the
Aryan languages. To the present day
the peasants in Swabia are heard to
say, MAY go to the moon If did it."
instead Of MAY die If did it." Nay,
people who work on the Sabbath day
are threatening even now that they
will go to the moon-that Is, that they
will die and be punished in the moon.
A more startling idea-peculiar, it
would seem, to India-was that Of the
moon serving as the food Of the gods.
And yet, though it sounds strange to
us, it was not SO very unnatural an
idea after ALL The gods, though invisl-
BILE, had been located in the sky. In
the same sky the golden moon, often
compared to round of golden butter,
was seen regularly to decrease. And
If it were being consumed by anybody
by whom could it be consumed II not
by the gods? Hence the ready conclu-
sion that it was 80 and that it was, In
fact, this food which secured to the
gods their immortal life.
If so much had once been granted,
then came the question, How was the
moon gradually increased and restored
to it's fullness? And here the old su-
perstition came in that the souls of the
departed entered the moon, so that the
waxing Of the moon might readily be
accounted for by this more ancient ar
ticle Of faith. Hence the systematized
belief that the moon wanes while 1t Is
being eaten by the gods and that it
wakes while it is being filled by the
departed souls entering it. A last con-
clusion was that the gods when feed
ing on the moon were really feeding on
the souls of the departed.

TOMB OF CONFUCIUS.
One of the Chief Spots of Interest II
the Orient.

One of the Chief Spots Of Interest In
the Orient.
The city of Chufuhsien, the Mecca Of
the believers in Confucianism, is in the
province Of Shangtung, one of the most
populous districts of the orient. Here
Confucius was born, and here his
sacred bones lie buried. The tomb,
which is located in one Of the largest
cemeteries in the province, about three
miles out from the city above mention
ed, is one of the most imposing in the
whole empire.
The grave itself is surmounted by an
earth mound about twelve feet in
height, the whole surrounded by q
cluster of gnarled oaks and stately cy-
press trees. Before the mound is a
tablet about six feet broad and twenty
feet high, upon which are inscribed the
names and deeds Of the great founder
Of Confucianism, religion adhered to
by over 4OO, 900, 900 human beings. The
burden of this inscription, according to
reliable translation, is Perfect One"
Absolutely Pure" Perfect Sage"
"First Teacher" "Great Philosopher"
etc.
The avenue which leads up to the
philosophers tomb is even more inter-
esting than the actual place of burial
itself. On each side Of the avenue are
rows Of figures Of huge animals cut
in stone-lions, tigers, elephants and
horses, besides numerous mythical
creatures, such as animals half dog
and half frog, beasts with four legs
and twice as many wings, besides a
multitude Of unnamable monsters thai
never lived on the earth, In the wa
ter or in the air. Taken altogether,
the burial place Of Confucius is one Of
the chief spots of interest in the or

Wonan's sphere in this 2oth century is
not limited any more than is mans. She
can occupy almost any business position
or profession, and yet the popular view of
womanhood is that she best fits the posi-
tion of wife and mother and head of the
household. Every girl should know her
heart and also know that her womanly
system is equal to the strain Of marriage.
If girl is nervous and irritable ten chances
to one it is due to some trouble peculiar to
womanhood
Cupid has no place in a girls heart if
she is nervous and irritable, feels dragged
down, worn out for no reason that she can
think of. The weak back, dizzy spells and
black circles about the eyes are only symp-
toms. Go to the source of the trouble and
correct the irregularity Stop the drains
on the womanly system and the other
symptoms will disappear This can be
done easily and intelligently. So sure of
it is the Worlds Dispensary Medical Asso-
citation, the proprietors of DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription, that they offer $500
reward for women who cannot be cured of
leucorrhea, female weakness, prolapsus, or

and reasonable trial of their means of cure.

George r. Koch, dentist, has been ar
rested charged with the murder of DR.,

rival, on the night of Nov, 1, 1904.
The arrest is the climax of the Bit

cent and those who think him guilty
of the crime.
The warrant for his arrest was
sworn out by Henry H. Gebhardt,
brother of the murdered man, who
has been assisting the citizens COM
mittee in the investigation Of the
crime.
Three attorneys have been secured
to help establish DR.. Koch's inno-
cence and one of the hardest legal
fights the state has ever witnessed is
promised.
The citizens committee has secured
G. M. Pompan, a noted criminal law
yer, to assist in the case against DR..
Koch and has asked H. w. Childs of
