UNCOMMON WISDOM.
Sistersville People Should Profit
by neighbours Experience.

It's a wise man who profits by
the experience of his friends and
neighbors. Here is a chance to
do it, and every man, woman or
child in Sistersville who knows
the misery of bad back, the
rvousn,es and restlessness
caused by kidney complaint or the
annoyance of urinary disorders,
will show uncommon wisdom to
profit by this citizens advice.
Frank Hiff, who lives on the
South Side, near the bridge,
Parkersburg, says: my kidneys
were always weak, but during a
year the weakness developed into
something more serious, causing
good deal of pain in the small
of my back and side. Sharp
twinges caught me often, espec-
tally when STOPPING or lifting,
and I was so bad sometimes that
it hurt me to straighten. When
took cold it affected my kidneys
and back more than any other
part, and I was compelled to do
something for it. I went to q
drug store for Doan's Kidney
Pills. They cured me-

large areas of ground which are often
mistaken for single plantations. This
is hardly ever the case. as the large
tracts are very often owned by hun
dreds of different men. whose indlvId-
ual plots of ground bearing the tea
plants are carefully mapped out, so
that each individual owner may cult
vate and pick his own crop of tea.
Each owner likewise markets his own
tea and puts his own special mark, or
chop" on the packages. Hence the
term Chop signifies an individual
growth or picking of tea by one owner.
In an area of tel land of. say. thou
sands acres. all apparently under one
ownership. there may be some forty.
fifty or more owners of the plantation
anil consequently like number or
chops" Of tea.
1t must not be imagined that all these
different owners of the tea get the
same price for their commodity-faT
from it, as each of these individual tea
growers has his own secrets for i'm
proving the quality and flavor OF tea.
Take. for instance. the Annoy and Flu
chau districts. whence most of the te2
for the United States comes. The own
ers of CHOPS of tea varying from ~
to 200 chests of 81 pounds each bring
samples OF their goods To the various
foreign merchants for sale. These lat
ter turn the Chinese tea growers over

American professional tea faster. who

from which there is never any Varia-
ton and which the tea grower must ac-
cept or 20 elsewhere to dispose OF his
wares. In Il single tract of tA land
like the one cited above the price has
ranged from II cents, the lowest. 10
4Sl. cents. the highest, per pound
among siXty-one different tea prodG-
GERS. A matter Of great moment that
also figures in the price of tea Is
that very often tea from the same dis
trict will have the various chops
blended together in order to produce
special iavors.

James Chambers, the popular
proprietor of the Riverview hotel,
who has the reputation among the
local epicures of being one OF the
best chefs of this city, made a sig
nal success of a new departure
yesterday in the way OF an OK
roast at his fishing camp on the
Ohio side. a short distance below
the ferry landing. Nearly 25O IN
vitations for the affair were Is
sued and accepted with very few
exceptions. Nearly all who at
tended were skeptics on barbecues
for the reason that those which
preceded the one of yesterday IN
this locality were dismal failures,
and the opinion had become root.
ed that the task of roasting beef
properly was beyond the skill of
local talent. This skepticism,
however, was all dissipated yes
terday. The roasting of the OK
was a astronomical achieve
ment, and a treat to the most Jad-
ed palate.
Sistersville daily oil review. [volume] (Sistersville, W. Va.) 1902-1905, 1904-08-01
BARBECUE

The OK was roasted in big COW
cred pan constructed by E. A.
RYAN for Mr.. Chambers according
to the new and improved ideas OF
the latter. The construction IS a
great time-saver. With the crude
affairs that have been used for
barbecues in this section it took a
dav and more to do the roasting,
but with the one used for yester-
days feast eight to ten hours fire
is all that is required.
The menu included more than
the beef. CLANS in all styles, veg
etables and coffee accompanied
the piece de resistance, and all in
all it was a spread suited to the
most epicurean taste.
Mr.. Chambers reputation as a
caterer was secure before his eff
fort of yesterday, but now that
reputation is beyond the reach OF
criticism other than favorable.
There is no doubt that his services
at OK roasts will be in great de-
mand during the approaching
campaign.

A severe snow storm ragged at St.
Louis Yesterday which, being driven by
a sharp wind. at times assumed the pro-
nortioas of a blizzard. Street traffic
was considerably impeded and railroad
trains were late in arriving. About six
inches of snow fell. Reports received
indicate that from to inches of snow
fell within radius of $50 miles of st.
Louis. The storm is moving TO the north
and east.
Reports of low temperatures Tuesday
night have been received from various
parts of Virginia, and the indications
all point TO great damage to the fruit
crop and early vegetables. Ice half an
inch thick was reported around Rich
mond. In the city little damage was
done to vegetation. A gentleman who
examined five orchards outside the ~iiy
said all the fruit was killed except in
one. where the orchard was surrounded
on all sides by woods. The damage was
severe in the Valley of Virginia, IN the
southwest and on the South Side. Owing
to high winds in the northern and Pied
mont sections there was frost and no
ice.

Good Roads.

Without presuming to be accurate, L
claim that the cities and towns in the
United States pay about 80 per cent. oil
the money that goes into Uncle Sans
treasury. Our State and corporation
collect on real estate and personal
property. Uncle Sara collects on our
food, clothing, tobacco in all It's
form, liquors, medicines and all artl'
cles named in the tariff list; besides
stamps, licenses, &C., and the "&c"
means, list that would fill book as
lvrge as a family Bible. One square or
block in Alexandria bounded by King,
Royal. Prince and Pitt streets, with all
that is on it, is worth as much or more
than ten farms in Fairfax county, and
if Alexandria wants good roads or
streets the property owners must pay the
bills. And our rural neighbor can drive
over them at his pleasure. Then why
should the cities and towns be taxed tC
make good roads in the farming districts
If the proposition now urged before
Congress to appropriate millions to build
good roads throughout the country should
become a law, Fairfax would hardly ge
enough to built good road from Alex
andria to Falls Church. Then the mex
Congress would have to duplicate th'
appropriation and keep at it for cen
tury. 1t is just another scheme to TAX
the surplus out of the treasury aud pre-
vent reduction in tariff rates, and t.
make republicans of the farmers. Goo'
roads are desirable, and our State au
thorities should provide for them:
was never intended that the nationa
! Congress or administration should ente
into such enterprises. L. V. H.

Strike in Austria.

The strike of railway men, which be-
gan Tuesday on the Hungarian Western
Railway, has become general and on all
the Hungarian State railways yesterday
traffic was at acomplete standsti!l. The
Southern Railway, which is not owned
by the government, alone managed to
start trains out of Budapest yesterday.
Six trains due Tuesday night have not
vet arrived The strike committee by
telegraph ordered all traffic to stop at
midnight and all trains to be abandoned
bv their crews at The stations where each
happened to be at that hour. The COM
mittee proposes to dispatch trains to
places alo1g the lines for the purpose OF
bringing the strikers into Budapest, but
no passengers will be carried on these
trains. The men declare they are will
ing to return to work if their demands
for increased pay, which, they claim,
was promised them by Premier lisa,
are granted and the strike leaders rem
stated. The railroad stations are guard
ed by troops. A number OF strikers
delegates arriving at Budapest to meet
ing have been arrested, including tye
bnndren from Flume. A band of 100
railroad men seized a train at Bia-Tor-
bagy, brought it to Budapest and re-
ported themselves to the police, who
have instituted criminal proceedings
against them.
The men in the workshops of the
Western Railroad have Joined the
strikers. The latter have disconnected
the telegraph instruments at various
points, severing communication. Inc
situation was discussed by the ministers
and deputies prior to the sitting OF the
Diet. Premier Tisza declared the gov
ernment could not negotiate with the
strikers, and had ordered troops to be
summoned to assist in the re-establish-
ment of order and had instructed the
railroad and telegraph regiment to op-
crate the railroads. An example, he
added, must be made OF the ringleaders
Of the strike.
The strike has created such whole
sale inconvenience that it is considered
doubtful if the government will be able
to force the men into submission. More
over, the opposition party in Parlia-
ment is is espousing the cause OF the
strikers.
1t was announced last night that
negotiations have already been opened
between the railway administration and
the strikers, with view TO peace set
tlement of the trouble.
Hundreds Of passengers suffered the
greatest inconvenience, being stranded
at small provincial stations, and all the
freight depots are loaded with perishaoie
produce, such as poultry, eggs and DAIRY
products. Mails can only be dispatched
by the Danube steamers.

What The Earth Produces.

The earth has nourished US through ufi-

true that the earth supplies us with every
thing that we really require for existence
Have you ever thought that 1t is probable
that the earth supplies us with the means
TO keep our bodily vigor, our health, II we
only knew it7 The animals kfsow by in
stinct what is good for them and will search
until they find in some plant what they
need for correcting indigestion or constipa-
tion. etc. Is it, therefore, not possible that
there are roots and herbs supplied by nature
which will cure the diseases that attiict
human kind That is why DR.. Pierce, OF
Buffalo, N. Y, has such faith in his Med
ical Discovery" Years ago when he was
in general and active practice, he founa
that a combination of certain herbs ana
roots made into an Alternative extract, with
out the use of alcohol, would always put
the stomach into healthy condition, nour-
ish the tissues, feed the blood and nerves
and put healthy tone into the whole
system.
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
restores the lost flesh by curing diseases OF
the stomach and other organs of digestion
and nutrition and enabling the perfect di-
gestion and assimilation of food from which
flesh and strength are made.
