Deceased was a fine specimen of
manhood, beloved by all who knew
him. His great heart was incapable
of holding enmity against anyone.
He loved all mankind. What
prompted him to this f;ttal act we
can only surnise.
II his early manhood he acquired
the drink habit, which. ftcr hard
struggle he at length ovcrcame; an
achievement Of which he was very
proud. OF late he had been indulg-
ing his old appetite to some extent
and whether it was the fear that it
would grow too strong for him to
resist, or whether his health, which
had been very poor for sometime,
cast this awful gloom over his mind
the Great Searchcr Of hearts alone
can know.
One of his chief pleasures was IN
receiving or writing letters to some |
OF his numerous friends. Who can
if in the full possession of
his faculties, the agony Of soul with |
which he penned these last lines to
his kinsmen and friends.
The bereayed family take this OPP
portunity ofexpressing their thanks
for the many expressions of sympa-
.hy and the help extended to them
luring this period Of deep sorrow.
It is with a melancholy pleasure
during such a time of woe that one
recognizes the brotherhood of man.

How to Increase the Ya!He of
the Corn Crop.
Weekly Agricultural

weekly Agricultural Lettcr.)
Reports received in this Office
during the last few days indicate
that the storms during the month
of September caused loss to the
corn crop Of the state TO the
amount Of more than 23.000,0O
bushels. This great boss TO
the farmers but as great as it is
the farmers may more than recover
this loss by adopting better meth
DDS in feeding the corn. More
corn is perhaps fed to hogs than
any other kind of stock.
Experiments recently made at
the Missouri Experiment station
show that the efficiency of corn is
greatly increased by feeding with
it some other feed in order to prop
erly balance the ration. A recent
experiment conducted by Prof. +.
B. Forbes, shows that when corn
meal was mixed with oil meal at
the rate Of 5 parts corn meal to one
of oil meal it required 376.6 pounds
OF the mixture to produce a hun
dred pounds of gain on hogs weigh
ing about 100 pounds to begin with.
Where corn meal alone was fed it
required 1856 pounds to produce
100 pounds of gain. Where shelled |
corn only was used ii required G93.2 |
pounds to produce 100 pounds of
gain. Now according to this exper-
'iment q farmer who feeds 100 |
bushels of shelled corn can produce |
S0S pounds of pork. Counting the
corn worth 80 cents and the pork,
live weight, i cents the farmers
profit in feeding the 100 bushels OF
corn is 1882. Now suppose the
farmer grinds this corn. According
to the experiment he will produce
from the 100 bushels, 1907 pounds
of pork, live weight, at cents per
pound, which will bring him s40.28.
ALLOWING 5 cents per bushel for
grinding the corn, counting the
corn at 80 cents he has made q
profit on the 100 bushels of corn
fed as corn meal, of s5.2S. Now
suppose the farmer buys enough of I
oil meal to mix with 100 bushels of
corn which will take 1920 pounds
Of the oil meal at ST. .25 per hundred
which will cost Sl4. $50 for the
hundred bushels of corn, s5 for
grinding and s14 for the oil meal
makes $40 for cost Of feed. Now I
according to the experiment above
to, this amount Of mixed .
feed 600 bushels corn meal and r
l120 lbs. oil meaD will produce {
1885 pounds Of pork, live weight at l
cents per pound, and bring ST. 40
a profit on the 100 bushels !
Of corn after paying for grinding S
Rnd for the oil meal added of S22.4O
Or net profit above what he re-
ceived for feeding 100 bushels ofE
'helled corn ofs2O.O8. This would q
mean an increased profit on the a
'orn of 20 cents per bushel. Il
This data refers tc hogs fed in
Try lots and of course there. would {
,ot be SO great difference for hogs I
ed on pasture, yet the difference
lnder most any condition that we c
night name will be sufficiently Il
,reat to afford the farmer an enor. 81
nous profit on small amount that n
te might invest IN oil meal. '

LAKN NOMINATED FOR CONGRESS.

At the Republican congressional
convention at Keyser yesterday James
S. Lakin, merchant and banker OF
Terra Alta, was nominated as the Re-
publican candidate for Congress to
succeed Hon. Aston G. Dayton.
There were seven candidates before
the convention, as follows: Ira E.
Robinson, of Taylor county; L. J.
Forman, of Grant county; James S.
Lakiu, of Preston county; John j.
Hetzel, of Berkeley county; A. H.
Stallings, Of Tucker county, and Tracy
L. Jeffords, of Jefferson county. Ear
ly in the balloting the first four showed
an even vote and good lead, but the
vote remained the same for % bal
lots. The highest vote that any can
didate received up to this time was
CT for Lakin.
After the 25th ballot the conven-
ion took a recess for two hours. At
$50 the balloting was resumed, and
the deadlock kept up until the 3lst
ballot. Then there was break for
Lakin. On the SD ballot the forces
of Robinson and Forman went to La
kin, and he received 147 votes-more
than enough, as but l26 were neces-
sary for a choice. The nomination
was then made unanimous.
The result was a victory for the
Dawson wing of the party. Governor
Dawson favored Lakin, while Robin
son was the choice of Teter and his
friends. Frank c. Reynolds was
chairman of the convention.

German Field Guns Unsatisfactory.

Although adopted only few years
ago the entire quick-fring field artillery
Of Germany has been condemned, and
it is to be replaced by field guns similar
to those used by the Japanese. In the
selection of family medicine the peo'
pie of our own country have also maze
mistakes. They have been deceived
time and again into trying this or that
remedy in the hope of obtaining cure
but without success. Not So however,
with those who selected Hostetter' S
Stomach Btters, for in it they found
good health and happiness. Better,
by far, than anything else for the cure
Of Indigestion, dyspepsia, constipation,
biliousneSS, chills, colds, la grippe,
spring fever, impure blood, torpid liver
and female complaints. That's why SC
many people stick to it so faithfully
and why we urge you again to try a
bottle this spring.
