A CASE OF 1T.
Manv 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.
Surely you cannot ask for better
proof than such a conclusive evil
dence.
Thomas Fleming, proprietor of
the Commercial House, on Tenth
street, Moundsville, says: -Four
years ago my back ached so e1-
cruciatingly that if l even took
long full breath l felt it. When
the attacks were in the acute
stage l 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 un-
limited quantities or medlclne, Oil
guaranteed to cure kidney COM
plant, I actually think I grew
worse in place of better. Doan's
Kidney Pills came to my notice
and took them as directed. The
result turned out as predicted.
After this positive proof of the
merits of Doan's Kidney Pills all
residents of this vicinity suffering
from their back or kidneys stand
sadly in their own light if they do
not give Doan's Kidney Pills a
fair trial"

VULCAN WILL BE
 TIE CHIEF FIGURE MacKnlght Interviewed in St. Louis About Colossus. WILL ATTRACT ATTENTION Huge Statue Will Represent Alabama's Mineral Resources and Will Be
 Greatly Admired by Visit
 ors to the Fair.

St. Louis. April 3O.-J. A. MacKnight of Birmingham, Ala, representing the Bir- mingham district commission at the Worlds fair, has taken a house in St' Louis and moved his family here for the season.
 The exhibit organized through the el- forts and enterprise of the Comherei"i club and citizens of Birmingham IS the only representation that Alabama VIII have at the exposition, the state nav ing failed to make an appropriation TOT the purpose. This exhibit has developed into a state exhibit so far as the miner al resources of Alabama are concerneu' and MT. MacKnight says that the great Colossus of Vulcan, which will be It's chief feature. is nearing completion Ill ono of the foundries of Birmingham. It is heinz cast in sections in Alabama iron. and the work is being done In the same manner as if 1t were merely hte size figure in bronze. The smallest east ine thus far made weighs about ZoOO nounds. and a foot and lower leg to the knee weighs nearly 11OOO pounds
 Skill Exceeds Expectations.
 The sculptor, G. Moretti of New York, who designed the figure and executed the model, is staying at lle Aidpeahiu hSNAS noljs to superintend the work Of putting the huge iron man into shape The skil shown in the casting of 1t has far ex- ceeded his expectations
 .'We expect" said MT. MacKnight, ito have the statue in place in the Mines Palace. by the time the fair opens. The pile foundation in our space is completed It will support safely a dead weight Of over 300,OOO pounds The statue, we be- lieve. will weigh something less than 1oO- GOO pounds. The soles of the feet will stand almost on level with the floor, and the height of the statue to the top of the head is 51 feet. The spear head of polish ed steel, held aloft in the right hand, will reach almost to the girders or the roof The lines of the figure are so beau- tiful and symmetrical that 1t is certain to attract universal attention.
 Will Be Taken Down.
 .sAt the close of the fair the statue will be taken down and removed to Birming- ham, where it will be set up in Capital park as a permanent monument Four large cars are required to transport it. The head alone almost makes a carload
 "About the statue will be grouped sflendid exhibit of the mineral wealth of Alabama, including it's coal and iron, Its inexhaustible stores of cement rocks and porcelain clay, and samples of the fin- ished products now being made in the state from these and other minerals.
 "Our exhibits are now being shipped, and the installation will be begun in a few days"

it was fired. The professors own at

DO NOT WANT CLOSED TOWN
Baker City Citizens Meet to Protest
Against Sheriff's Nerve.

BAKER CITY, Or, Aug. 17.-There
seems to be a general objection on the
part of the business men of Baker City
to the stand taken by Sheriff Brown
in regard to the enforcement of the
law against gambling and Sunday sa-
looms. The new order of things went
into effect today, after which there is
to be no more gambling in the county
at any time or place. While all saloons
and business houses must close on
Sunday, beginning August p.
A largely attended meeting of citi-
Zens was held at the courthouse yes
terday afternoon to protest against the
action of the sheriff, but so far as
known there is no change in the sit
uatiOn. Sheriff Brown says the law will
be strictly enforced, if it is in his power
to enforce it, and ne seems to think
he has the power. The effect of the
new order of things will scarcely be
noticeable until tomorrow, as it is the
understanding that the sheriff will first
serve formal notice on all viOlatOrs of
the law before making any arrests.

RAVALLl COUNTY INSANE FREAK
Walked Through Walls of Asylum as

HAMILTON. Mont, Aug 17.-Chas.
Johnson. the freak character. who has
twice escaped from the Ravalli coun-
ty Jail, by digging his way through
the brick wall, but who failed to con-
vince the authorities here that he was
insane. although he did all sorts of
funny stunts in that direction, turns
out to be an escaped lunatic from the
state asylum at Warm Springs. 1t al
SO transpires that his first successful
attempt at escaping from custody was
not made here. but that ne made his
way through the walls of the asylum.
This makes the local authorities some
what less chagrined at the way he
walked through the walls of the Ravalli
county Jail.
Upon his recapture the second time,
Johnson confessed that his real name
was John Mckay, and that he had es
capped from the state asylum. He halls
from Butte, where he was something of
a local character. An investigation
has resulted in substantiating the facts
as set forth by Johnson, or Mckay, in
his confession.

At the last moment. however. when
everything had been going satisfac-
torily. an intimatiOn was received
from Washington that the idea had
better be abandoned. as it would be I'm
possible to guarantee the safety of the
royal couple.
The matter has been bruited about
among prominent Americans here who
express much resentment at the reason
given for stopping the visit which is
regarded as a mere preteXt and a very
unfortunate one, as being made at the
reputation of the American people.
1t is we'll understood here that Pres
ident Roosevelt realized that the visit
might prove a political mistake. in view
of the presidential campaign, and sud
denly changed his mind about it.

mOHROW COUNTY STOCkMAN
SAYS TO TURN SHEEP IN
THE WOODS.
They Eat the Grass and Keen lJ,ds-
brush Trimmed So the Fire
Cannot Spread.

PORTLAND, Ore Aug. 1.-THE
way to prevent forest fires is to turn
sheep into the woods in the summer
time" said c. A. Rhea. a well-knovp
stockinan and banker of Morrow coun-
ty. We haven't had a destructive fire
in the Blue Mountain forests for "a
years or since sheep began summering
In them. The eastern slopes of the
Cascades where sheep pasture regular
~ nave also been singularly free from
fires, while the forests of western Ore
gon and western Washington blaze reg
ulariy every summer, causing the at
mosphere of the entire northwest as
far as Montana to be filled with smoke
until the fall rains appear.
Sheep eat off the grass and keep the
underbrush trimmed so that fire cam
not spread. Dry grass is what carries
fire in the mountains, and where sheep
range the grass plots are strewn with
trails and thus every fire that gets
out is stopped before going any dis
ance.
The government has already found
out that sheep keep fires down in the
mountains of Oregon and so the forest
rangers are friendly toward the pastur-
ing of sheep in the reserves. Sheen
also keep the soil enriched. and grass
portions of the mountains where they
are permitted to run. The prejudice
against sheep on the part of govern
ment so-called experts is rapidly
giving way to n more rational senfi-
ment on the subject of sheep pasture
But sneep cannot be turned into
the mountains of western Oregon very
well without heavy expense in trans
porting them to and fro from their win
ter ranges. The sheep ranches of the
northwest are mostly situated east of
the mountains and so much ferrying
and much long distance driving would
be necessary in reaching the dense
woods of the coast range
Still if these woods had been ira
versed by bands of sheep for the past
40 years, burnt districts would now
be unknown, and millions of dollars
worth of fine timber would be still

standing where we have great stretche
stretches of blackened stumps. The
tangles of tall fern that carry flames
across long stretches would have dis
appeared. and where fires are now kept
down at heavy expense to the timber
owners, the woods could be as secure
from fires as those of the Blue Noun
tains or the Occur d'Alenes. The tim
Der of these latter regions is more
pitchy. and therefore more cOmbusti-

the danger of fire is thus greater were

There is no point in which average

than in the estimates of distance,

amusing proof of this was recently Of

speed in the borough in question, made
an offer to give 6 100 to the poor Of the
