THE BRINK Is NEAR.
Few Morgantown People kRow How
Near il is.

Near ii is.
Every time you neglect backache
Allow the kidneys to become clog
ged,
Fail TO cure urinary disorders,
You get nearer the brink OF Bright's
disease.
Doan's Kidney Pills will save you
from danger.
Proof of it In this testimony.
t. W. Fleming, retired, of PIT JEFF
ferson street, Fairmont, says: Doan's
Kidney Pills are not by any means q
new preparation to me. For some
years at intervals when l noticed the
slightest indication of backache OF
other symptoms of kidney complaint,
| have appealed to them and on each
and every occasion they have acted just
as represented. When such valuable
preparation as Doau's Kidney Pills
can SO easily be obtained / certainly
think that all sufferers from backache
ct Kidney complaint in any form stand
sadly in their own light If they do hot
go to drug store for Doan's Kidney
Pills and take course Of the treat

Remarked Mrs. Collins when
She Saw Mr.. Pickering.

And so They Ran Away 10 be Married
Collins Helped Them on their Way
HE was Mighty Clever Man bGi
He Would not Pay Funeral Expenses
After Won an Died.
A special rom Washington tells
OF the death Of Mrs. Joseph Picker
ing ct that place. Her death and
the incidents connected with it ~
call queer story which came from
Martinsburg In the first place.
1t seems that Pickering worked
for wealthy farmer named Amos
Collins. Mrs Collins for some rea
son became enamored OF Pickering
and they ran away together. Collins
followed item to Martinsburg and
tried to persuade bis wife TO return
home with him
She refused stating that she loved
Pickering more than she did heI
husband and that she would not be
happy without him.
Collins was not harsh or hasty
over the matter but said that if she
felt that way she should go on with
him. He brought her some clothes
and gave them money with which te
90 to Washington. He then escorted
them to the tram and babe then
farewell.
He got a divorce, the woman and
Pickering were married. The Other
day she died. Pickering wired tc
Collins: My wife is dead. Do you
want the remains or shall l bury
her here?"
Collins told him To do as hs
pleased with them but that they
were not wanted at Martinsburg
In consequence, the woman was
buried at Washington and tht
story is ended.

Every Indication is THAT the Line Will
BE tsuiIt and That Before Very Long
Money Now in Fairmont For One
Branch ImmeDce Projects Under

Every indication lin local railroad

many thousand Of dollars, is to arrive

hours for payment to the property
owners who have already been seen
by representatives of the company.
1t is also rumored that some definite

WAR IS BEGUN
Desperate Fighting between Japs
and Russians.
Admiral AIexiess CabIfs That Three Of
His Vessels Have Been Demolished
-Unconfirmed Report Of Jap Rev.
erse-Troops in Korea.

erse-yro0Ds In Korea
A special which came at l 80 this
afternoon says that eleven Japanese
ships have been sunk at Port Arthur
and thai the town is in flames from
furious bombardment One Rus
sian ship was sunk. The rest of
the Russian fleet escaped. Note
This message evidently got twisted
somewhere, and numerous efforts are
made to verify it.
The Pittsburg Gazette at $50
says that the report about the Jap
anese reverse is not true, but says
that the story about the wrecking Of
the three Russian war ships BY the
Jap torpedo toats is correct.
A special received this morning
from st. Petersburg IS to the effect
that war is in progress In the faf
East. Japan has begun active hos
tilities and a naval engagement has
been fought.
This occurred in the roads outside
the harbor of Port Arthur. Here
the Russian fleet has been at anchor.
The harbor is too small for the entire
feet and part OF it lay outside.
Admiral Alexiess, who has com
nand of all the Russian forces ip
the East. has cabled st. Petersburg
to the effect that he was attacked
last night.
Nile japanese war ships slipped
up in the dark and attacking the
ships outside OF the harbor created
havoc amoJg them. Three OF them
are badly damaged. They are the
Retvisan, Tzaryitch and Tallada.
The japanese ships, after blowing
up the torpedo mines at the mouth
of the harbor retired They were
not mi red III the least, according to
the cahlegram.
A number of small merchantmen
have been seized by the Japs. The
japanese fleet put to sea on Sunday
hight under orders to attack the
Russian flag wherever found. Troops
are being thrown into Corea by thu
japanese and land fighting may be
Expected at any moment.
No formal declaration of war will
be made. Japan deems the with
drawal OF her ministers from Russia
all sufficient in that direction.
