ScrofuIa the Cause,

Eczema. catarrh. hip disease, white
swelling and even consumption have
their origin in scrofulous conditions.
With the slightest faint of scrofula In
the blood, there is no safety. The
remedy for this disease in all its forms
is Hoods Sarsaparilla, which goes to
the root Of the trouble and expels all
impurities and disease germs from the
blood.
The best family cathartic is Hoods
Pills.

THE CONSTABLE MADE GOOD"
WITH HIS GuN-TRoUeLE
NOT YET ENDED.

Constable j. S. Walker, Of East
Park avenue, left the city on Satur.,
day morning with two warrants to
serve. One was for Francisco Savono
Lopez, at tile mines above Shinnston,
TO answer for debt. When found,
he put up $50 on the account and
promised. the rest later, and time was
granted. The other warrant was for
Louis Leartlnos; of Meadowbrook.
Upon sMr!!!Walker's arrival he learned
the manSwas at Cooks mines, a mile
and "a half up the creek and In
neighborhood with only, three Amer.
lean families. He went on up. how.
ever. when the man was pointed out
to him and arrested but refused to
return with the constable. The lat
ter insisted that he would have to
come or "put up" A brother came
to his relief at this juncture and feign.
ed to so out to raise the money, but
he returned with seven or eight Tai
lies Instead, armed with razors and
other weapons Of war, when trouble
began at once. The constable, how.
ever, drew his gun and next a pair
Of hand cuffs which he started to put
on him, when giving way to the bluff
the mans friends made up a purse of
$50 for him and agreed to raise the
rest on next pay day, which was &C
cepted. Nr. Walker, then started back
for the station at Meadowbrook, and
when about $50 yards away dropped
into trot for fear OF missing his
train. In few minutes he heard a
noise. and turning saw two men fol-
lowing and at the. same time calling
to third who was covering him! from
the front He turned back with his
gun in hand to learn the object of the
two following, but they said they
were only going down the way to see
some friends but were not following
him. He started back, however, and
then advanced to meet the man in
front with his gun still drawn. He
too, threw up his hands. denying any
harm intended, but mentioned money,
at which Mr.. Walker dropped his gun
on him and demanded what money

PLEADED GUILTY
DID McALLlsTER AND GOT ONE
YEAR IN THE STATE PENl.
TENTiARY.

John McAllister, by the advice OF
his counsel, E. F: Morgan, confessed
this morning before Judge Mason to
unlawful shooting, and was sentenced
to one year in the penitentiary. Nc.
Allister's side of the story. which has
not been told before, was that he and
Callle Ware had some words at the
colored dance at the old candy factory
on Barney street. on the night OF
March 16. Ware left the hall first and
went across the street, when he was
called back by James Taylor. He
scooped up a brick as he came, and
McAllister coming out of the hall Just
then, he struck McAllister in the chest
with 1t. Taylor handed him another
brick and he drew back to hit Meal
lister again when McAllister pulled
his revolver and fired. Then as Ware
started to run he fired twice more
McAllister probably saved himself al
least year more in the "pen" by his
confession, as his shooting Ware af
ter he turned to run would almost In
evitably hause caused a Jury TO bring
in a verdict of maliciously shooting
with the penalty attached OF from
two to ten years In the penitentIary.

THE MONEY CHANGERS WILL BE
THE clTWs GUESTS FOR
TWO DAYS.


~ On Tuesday and Wednesday of this
week Fairmont will entertain the
West Virginia Bankers Association.
This organization is. but dozen years
S;old, and began its career of usefulness
with but two score members, while at
S the present 1t boasts of over two hun.
/ dred, nearly the entire banking
strength OF the commonwealth. The
& Organization Is purely independent,
being affiliated with no National body.
The man most instrumental in It's
i5blrth was j.. E. Sands, OF this city, al.
ssthough other prominent bankers OF
the State were helpful. Its purpose
iyswas and is for the protection of the
banking institutions and how well 1t
s;EGhas done its work can be determined
81 by a glance over the U. s. banking
statistics wherein West Virginia ranks
sixth. Failures are comparatively un-
known in this State. and never has a
National bank gone to the wall nor a
Sa,depositor suffered the slightest loss.
Much important business will come
ssbefore the body at its meeting, among
the most prominent of which. will be
sthe move for better laws governing
negotiable instruments and atbill tc
this effect will be presented ato the
egislature:: " s & rs Z, <. Z
