Grain and live stock movements
during August at important interior
primary markets, as reported to the
department of commerce and labor
through it's bureau of statistics, con-
tinued to show in the aggregate, as
was the case in July, apprec1able in
crease over corresponding movements
in 1904, while total receipts and ship
ments of these articles, for the first
eight months of the current year, pre-
sented heavy gains by similar COM
parsons, the inbound grain movement
at u important primary markets hav-
ing been over 30,000,000 bushels in
excess of that for the preceding year,
with indications pointing to a still
heavier increase in this class of ton
mage.
At the five interior markets of Chi
cago, Kansas City, Omaha, st. Louis.
and st. Joseph livestock receipts dur.
ing August aggregated 2,S00,706 head,
in contrast with similar inbound
movement in 1904 OF 2.794,996 head and
in 1903 of 2,742,600 head. During the
first eight months of the present year
22,579,177 head of live stock were re-

WARRINGTON
HAS A PLAN ON FOOT TO GO INTO
THE PIANO MAKING
BUSINESS.

MANNlNGToN, Aug. 10.-Stewart
& Wise, the local piano dealers have
just returned from the east, where they
have been In the interest of establish.
ing a piano factory.
Several years ago these gentlemen
conceived the idea of manufacturing
pianofortes of the highest grade OF
excellence that would rank with the
best the world has ever yet produced.
and to this end they associated them.
selves with the best talent in the
scale drawing for the development
of their ideal piano.
After years of study and hard labor
and the expenditure Of a large amount
of money they have realized their an.
ticipations in part and have perfect
ed and constructed their first piano
which has caused quite a stir among
piano men and capitalists who know
a good thing when they see it.
Their plans have been kept secret
until they should be ready to prove
to the world that the piano was as
perfect as human skill and money
could produce. The first step was
taken last Monday to launch the new
enterprise.
The interest of capitalists and
boards of trade from several eastern
cities has been shown in a substan.
tial way. Much to the surprise of
Messrs. Stewart & Wise a special
train. was engaged to bring fifty or
more distinguished business men
from eastern cities to their meeting
place for the purpose of securing the
location of this industry.
Large bonuses, factory sites and
buildings have been offered them as
inducements but Stewart & Wise are
in favor of showing their loyalty to
their home city, provided some sub
stantial encouragement is shown them
by the enterprising citizens of Man.
nington.
In the end the starting Of this in.
dustry will mean much for Manning.
ton as only skilled labor will be EN-.
ployed.
Both grand and upright p~ianofortes
will be manufactured and the citizens
OF this city should call a meeting and
arrange to secure this industry IL pos.

WASHINGTON UNEASY
OVER TYPHOID FEVER.
The Health Department BECOMING
Alarmed Over the Increase Of
the Malady.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-The
Health Department at Washington is
becoming seriously alarmed over the
constant increase and spread of ty-
phoid fever in this city. Since the
first of this month. 46 cases of typhoid
fever have been reported. Up to noon
to-day, II new cases have been re-
ported and there is a growing appre.
hension that these figures do not tell
the entire tale. August has an unfor.
tunate reputation in Washington as
the typhoid fever month, but the
spread of the disease this year has
passed all previous records.
The total number of existing cases
at the present time, as given in an
official statement by DR.. Woodward,
the health officer, is 166. Two deaths
were reported this morning. In an
official statement of the situation Is.
sued by DR.. Woodward, he refers to
a belief that the disease has been
spread by flies. He does not believe
that flies are the active carriers of
the contagion. The sanitary arrange.
ments under recently enacted laws
are so rigidly enforced that the theory
of the spread of the contagion by flies
Is not tenable, in addition L which
the cases do not group themselves
within limited areas as would occur
II the flies were the chief agents TO.
the spread Of the disease. DR.. Wood
ward believes that water is the great
carrier of infection and that next to
water milk probably stands as the
greatest agency for the dissemination
OF the disease.
The water of Washington has for
a long time been unfit to drink. 1t is
muddy, repulsive and altogether re.
voting in appearance. The govern.
ment is spending millions of dollars
upon great filtration plants and it is
probable that in the course Of time
these plants will be completed. It has
already been discovered that even
when they are completed they wflI
not begin to supply enough clean wat.
err for the use Of the Capital. Mean.
while. there will be a constant pres.
lence OF typhoid fever in the city.

WEBSTER SPRINGS
is LIVELY.


WEBSTER SPRINGS, W. Va, Aug.
1o.-Webster Springs is enjoying one
of the brightest and liveliest of sea-
sons this summer. All the hotels
are well filed and people from all over
the country r coming and going each
day. Formerly this resort was mostly
patronized by West Virginians alone,
but this season finds visitors from
both of the Virginias, Maryland, the
National Capital, Pennsylvania and
Ohio. The management of the new
Webster Springs Hotel have done ev-
erything in their power to make their
hotel the most h%ospitable place to be
found at any mountain resort, and
musicals, dances, minstrel shows, ETC.,
are arranged for each week SO that
at all times n finds something pro-
yided for the evenings entertainment.
Bridge whist parties are frequent and
many are the little fish dinners given
by those to whose prowess the finny
tribe have fallen, as the fishing is ex-
c%eptionally good just now.
1t is estimated that there are at
least fifteen hundred people at the
Springs this week and the capacities
of the various hotels are taxed to their
utmost to provide for them. The Holly
River & Addison Railroad, over which
mi travels to reach the Springs af-
ter leaving the B. and o. at Holly

VENEZUELA SEEKS
EVIDENCE HERE
TO FIND WHAT CHECKS WE'RE
PASSED THROUGH NEW YORK
BANKS TO AID MATos.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Aug. 10
Venezuela is seeking dispositions from
TIE banks Of New York as to the
checks which the New York and Der.
mudez Asphalt Company Is said to
have passed through them for the
purchase OF the Ban RICH, the vessel
which the Matos reyolutionists are
said TO have employed in their fight
against the Castro government, in
Venezuela. A suit has been brought
by Venezuela against the company for
damages for the aid it is alleged to
have rendered the revolution.
The charges made by the govern.
ment are that the asphalt company
put up 100000 to buy the Ban RICH,
which was then at Trinidad. She
was built in England and General
Castro. learning in advance of the
contemplated purchase, protested to
the British government against the
sale. In spite of the protest, the title
passed, and the ship was enlisted to
help the reyolutionists, who were in
force up the Orinoco.
Repeatedly it has been charged by
Castro that the asphalt company sup.
piled the sinews of war for the reyo.
luton against which he was fighting.
Suit for $4,000 900 damages was, be.
gun against the company. Evidence
was offered that General Francis v.
Greene, former president of the as.
phalt company, while in Europe had
drawn a draft payable to the agents
of the revolution and that in all the
asphalt company has contributed
more than 100000 to the cause OF
those who sought to overthrow Cas-.
tro. General Greene denied this. The
case has been several times appealed
by the company.
Differs From Recent Suit.
1t is entirely distinct and separate
from the suit in which the highest
court in Venezuela yesterday decreed
that the concession held by the as.
phalt company should be annulled.
That decision vas based upon the al.
legged failure Of the company to dis.
charge its contractual obligations.
Nevertheless as far as the action of
the United States is concerned It is
desired to await the final decision of
the Venezuelan courts as to whether
the company participated in the Ma
tos revolution. The testimony which
Venezuela now seeks in the United
States is understood to be that OF
bankers who are said to know about
The checks and drafts alleged to have
been passed for the financing of
the Ban Righ expedition.
At the State Department this af.
iernoon Mr.. Adee, who is now alone
in the control of the department re-
fused in the nos emphatic terms to
discuss this or any other phase of the
governments relations with vene-

Salt Remedy Applied.

Since the recen onslaught being
made upon the dogs within the city
by the police force, looking to their
determination, Charley Shanaberger's
dog took the %precaution to withdraw
from the scene of hostilities on Tues.
day for the sake of safety. He did
not venture TO return until yesterday
morning and seemed all right at
first, but soon thereafter dropped down
upon the floor seemingly exhausted
and gave evidence of spasms, trem-

Charley. who soon caught on to the
idea that he lad been poisoned, and
began a course of treatment for his
recovery. He began with bathing,
rubbing and douching and then laid
him out helpless upon the sidewalk.
Some besought that he shoot him.
but Charley was too sympathetic to-
wards his old friend for that, and
finally applied the famous salt rem.
edy" so highly recommended these
latter days for everything else wrong
In man or beast. And strange to say,
1t produced the desired effect, for
soon after administering a quantity
of salt, his dog threw up the poison
and he began TO rally. Then later he
gave him milk for nourishment, when
later he struggled to HIS feet, walk.

and persevered on. until yesterday
evening the dog vas in a playful mood

recovery, and all from simply admin.
istering as a remedy plenty of salt.
