The Worlds Gold Production.

The worlds gold production for last
year was one of the largest on record,
and the latest figures show that Aus
tralasia produced the most, while our
country was a close second. But when
it comes to the production of a reliable
remedy for the thousand and one ills of
mankind we lead the world, for in Hos
letters Stomach Bitters we possess the
best that science can produce. During
its 80 years experience it has never
failed to give satisfaction, and because
of its reliability has become the stand
ard remedy for sour stomach, belching,
heartburn, indigestion, dyspepsia, poor
appetite, constipation, billiousness, and
malaria. If you will only try one bot
tie you won't accept anything else be-
cause it will cure you. Thousands
have found this so. We urge you to
try it at once.

The Wheeling Intelligencer is au-
thority for the statement that the
Board of Public Works of West Vir-
GINA, which by the law is made a
board Of review and equalization to
correct the assessments of the several
counties, will take action at the prop
er time in connection with the re-
duced assessment of Mcdowell and
Mercer counties-and any others that
need attention. It will be remem-
bered that in Mcdowell and Mercer
there was an enormous increase in
land values because the assessors did
their duty and placed property at its
true and actual value, thus getting
upon the tax books at something like
a fair price the rich coal lands in that's
section. The county courts Of these
two counties, however, made sweep
ing reductions from the assessors
prices-McDowell county knocking
off 65 per cent and Mercer IS per
cent. The Intelligencer asserts that
the county court had no legal author
ity for this, and that the matter will
be properly adjusted by the Board of
Public Works.
We hope such will be the case. As
long as even the smallest State tax is
collected from the counties they should
be assessed on exactly the same prin-
ciple. If the agricultural lands OF
Jefferson shall be assessed at their
true and actual value, so should the
rich coal lands of Mcdowell and Mer-
Ger.

500 Reward, 500.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting direct
ly upon the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature IN do
ing It's work. The proprietors have so
much faith in its curative powers that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for list

IT is intimated that there may be
another quarrel over the Panama Ca

delicate.
In the meantime, there's not much
doing in the way of work on the canal.
The engineers are at present going
over the line, with the object Of try
ing to decide what sort of a canal
shall be constructed, but there is like
ly to be serious disagreement upon this
question.
The canal is an elephant on Uncle

APPROPRIATE-but not sufficient
remarks have heretofore been made in
these columns concerning the astound-
ing developments of the New York
Equitable and the New York Life in
surance companies, by which criminal
extravaganza and wicked misappro-
priations of money have been clearly
shown on the part of their officers.
Now comes the expose of the Mu-
tual Life Insurance Company of New
York, and it is just as bad as the
others. The president Of the com.
pany, Richard A. MoCurdY, has been
receiving the enormous salary Of
$4,000 year-a higher sum, it is
stated, than is received by any other
man in this country, and three times
more than the President of the United
States gets. This is independent OF
"pickings." No man knows what
they amount to. 1t is also shown by
the legislative investigating committee
that Robert A. McCurdy, son of the
president, has received as "commls-
sions" from the company the stagger-
ing sum of 81, 7O5, 60l, while the pres
ident's son-in-law, Louis A. Thebaud,
received $920,ll3 in commissions
1t is likewise admitted that the Mu-
tual made liberal contributions to the
Republican campaign fund.
The duty of the law officers Of New
York seems to be plain. They ought
to compel restitution of every dollar
wrongfully taken from these cOmpan-
MES, and the guilty persons ought to
be punished. Public morals demand
that an example be made of these
men. They ought to be put behind
the bars.

THE Martipsburg World is author

THE Marlinsburg World is author
ity for the rather remarkable asser-
ton that the State Board of Agricul-
ture, which has just decided to dis
continue the publication Of the West
Virginia Farm Review, has formally
adopted the American Stockman as
the official paper of the board. The
World also says that this official en-
dorsement was agreed upon at the
solicitation of Charles P. Light, OF
Martinsburg, member of the board,
but who has, by the way, achieved
more notoriety as persistent solicitor
of subscriptions to that journal than
by hispublic services.
1t looks to us as if the board is ex-
ceeding its authority when it assumes
to dictate what particular agricultur-
al publication shall be the State or
gan, and it is a cheap form Of graft
that impels its members to use their
Off ,ial positions for the private gain
of one of their number.
Mr.. Light is the gentleman whose
sensitive nature was so shocked by a
suggestion in the REGISTER that a
certain negro ravisher should be sum-
marily hanged that he at once discon-
tinued his subscription to this paper,
and we had to return something like
AZ cents to him. 1t is to be regretted
that his nerve is so unequally distrib-
uted. 1t seems to be SO highly de-
veloped in the line of soliciting sub
scriptions that there's none left to
contemplate suggestion that COL
ored voter should be extirpated. As
a protector of his own particular
style of journalism Mr., Light is meg
alophouous to a degree. When it
comes to other forms, however, he is
an inunctuous locusta marina.
P. S.-We don't get cent for this
advertisement of Mr.. Light and his
official organ.
