All residents of West Virginia
who are opposed to the new tax
assessment law of w. NJ. O. Daw-
son and desire to have it repeal
ed. should cast their vote tOmor-
row for Hon. John j. Cornwell.
Remember. if Dawson is elected
the new assessment law goes into
effect on the first day Of next
January. Under this new law
Won must also remember you are
forced under strict oath, to give
to the assessor all your private
business affairs. If you owe "A
small sum Of money 10 neigh
Dor or one OF your nclghhorS Is
indebted to You, YOU must make
the same known to the assessor.
Tf YOU are engaged in the grocery
or mercantile business Nou must
rive in to the assessor a correct
account of all the business you
are transacting. You must tell
the assessor how much John
Smith and the Jones family are
indebted to you. How much YOU
are indebted for goods in stock
and to what firms. Now, the as
SCISSORS books are fled in the Of
flee Of the County Clerk, and can
be examined by any person. In
short, your private business al
fairs under the new assessment
laws are all made public. This IS
not all that can be said in con-
demnation of this law. The worst
and most detcstable feature OF
the new system OF taxation IS, 1t
will increase your present rate OF
taxes, unless you have your mon
ev invested in big corporations,
to an amount that is alarming
to even contemplate. Hence. we
warn the intelligent voters of
West Virginia in due time
against casting their ballots to-
morrow for w. NJ. 0. Dawson.
Mark our words, that should
Dawson be elected Governor of
West Virginia the present pros
perity enjoyed by all classes of
people who reside within the bor-
ders of the State will experience
a sudden reverse of good times,
which will be severely felt dur
ing his entire term of office.

A CASE OF IT.
MANY Lilze It In sistersville.

MANY bike u Ii DISGeiSEItS.
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 ex-
cruciatingly that if | 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 d
single position I 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 IN
limited quantities of medicine, all
guaranteed to cure kidney COM
plant, I actually think 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 Doani's Kidney Pills a
fair trial"

DUE WARNING TO
VOTERS NOW GIVEN

the people of Tyler county, the
State Of West Virginia and the
country in general, as the one
Just at hand. The voters are call
ed upon this year to decide by
their ballots an Infamous tax
measure, and also whether the
Republic shall endure upon the
foundation laid by the fathers,
or shall it be converted into a
personal government in which
the will and caprice Of the Pres
idcnt is paramount to the cOnstl-
tuition itself.
Mr.. Roosevelt is the most dan
gcrous man 10 whom the EXecu-
tive office has been intruSted
since the days when Andrew
Johnson set up what he called
my policy and sought to en-
force it with the high hand. in
contravention of law, in def
ance of the people and IN dlSrc-
gard of constitutional restriction.
Mr.. Roosevelt is imbued with a
like spirit. which with the power
in his Strong hands is far more
dangerous to our country now
than it was in the ease Of John
son.
Let there be no Sinking on the
part Of Democrats tomorrow, IN
this year Of probable great Jubl-
lee. 4 dozen Democrats IN any
district in Tyler cOunty-men
who are always at the polls and
urging others to 90 and vote
are worth a field full OF the
other sort who let trivial excuses
keep them away from the polls.
It is much more incumbent upon
Democrats when in the minority
to meet at the polls, every moth
er's sen of them than when their
party is in overwhelming major
ity. Minorities must be con-
stantly on the war path, every
nose must be at the counting on
a day of reckoning, if the princl,
pies represented are to prevail
and the party increase IN
strength. Therefore, be up and
doing, and put your influence to
work upon the men who are
asleep, so to speak, around you.
Give cheerfully tomorrow to the
good of our county, State and
our great country, and for the
best interests of your deluded
neighbors.

WEAVING THE WEB.
No Direct Evidence Against JAS,
Gillespie.
The Prosecution in the Murder Case i:
Building Up From the Unimpor-
tant PreIiminaries to the All
Important Direct Testimony.

Rising Sun, Ind, May 1.-THE be-
ginning of the second week of the Gil
lespie trial finds the state continually
strengthening the case against James
Gillespie. Although no direct testi-
mOny has as yet been introduced to
connect him with the murder of his
sister, it is the plan of the prosecution
to build the case up from the unim-
pOrtant preliminaries to the all-im-
portant direct testimony, which, it is
claimed, will connect Jim Gillespie di-
rectly with the act charged. Follow
ing this plan, the state has built up,
incident by incident. a strong and CO.
hesive story of relationships and mo-
tives.
Rising Sun, Ind, May 18.-The first
witness Tuesday morning in the Gil
lespie case was Marshal and Special
Deputy Sheriff Thomas Overly, who
told about summOning Jim Gillespie
for the grand jury and serving on him
an order to bring his shotgun. He
said Jim refused to bring the gun, say
ing that he wanted to consult an at
torney first. Overly detailed the trip
of the posse the night of the shooting.
and told of the visits to the Barbour
and Seward yards He repeated the
remarks testified to Monday evening
as having been made by Belle Seward,
concerning the search for the gun and
clues to the assassin.
Efforts were made Tuesday morning
by the state to get before the jury the
statement that jim Gillespie had the
only 16-gage gun in town. Overly tes,
titled that he had asked numerous per
sons about any gun of the gage, but
that ne could find none other than that
produced in court.
The state succeeded in showing by
the witness that for three or four
months he had been investigating as
to 16-gage gun, and finally got it be.
fore the jury that no other gun of that
gage could be found
Rising Sun, 4nd3 May 19.-Detective
Franklin left town Wednesday hur-
riedly, and it is rumored ne is out
seeking an important witness, to be
used in rebuttal
= One story af1oat is that he has gone
after the man at Rabbit Hash. KY,
who has the 16-gage gun Neal testified
to selling, the state expecting to prove
its whereabouts the night of the shoot
ing.
The first witness introduced Wed.
nesday morning was Charles Gibson,
who has been a clerk in Gibson's hard
ware store for 80 years. He identified
the shell given the grand jury by Bar
bour as one of w. R. A make.
James Fisher, a stable boy, then
took the stand He said he was nearly
square from the Gillespie house and
was at the lower end of that square
when the shot was fired So much
shooting had been done in the neigh
borhood of late he paid no attention
to this shot at first. He saw no one
run by him. The street lamp was
bright at the corner and he could have
seen any one run by.
