LAWFUL LEy1Es.

So far as known no leyies have
vet been made in this county by The
ievying bodies and therefore there
has been no VOCATION of the law.
But in some counties and district;
levies have been unlawfully laid and
Others are unlawful in amount, ano
to provide against more Ct this a;
well as to correct those already laid
ID unlawful manner or amount
State Tax Commissioner Dillon
will shortly issue second warning
and advisory notice.
It's quite evident that Mr.. Dillon
viii promptly call a turn upon any
levying body that may sanction q
tax rate that will produce an
amount abve Z per cent. more than
was raised in 1904. Nh. Dillon calls
attention to the fact that he has al
ready applied for a mandamus to
compel one county court to fix the
levy as provided by law.
The circular is identical with the
one previously issued, except that
the following is appended:
SThis pamphlet was sent to the
members of the boards of education
of the state 1t seems, however,
that some members have failed to
receive it, or if they have received
it have failed to follow the law,
therefore l send another. We have
already applied for a mandamus to
compel one county court of the state
to fix the levy. as provided by law.
We do not want to tie up the levies
or proceed against the levying bod
les, but will be forced to do so if
this law is not respected and fol-
lowed. Your duties under this law
are plain, and there is no excuse for
it not being obeyed."
This information is so plain that
none need misunderstood ii. Some
are under the impression that the
maximum amount this year may be
two per cent. more than it was last
year. That is not the case, but the
total amount raised IN 1904 is the
lawful basis on which to make the
percentage of increase. For in
stance, the ttal tax for the city of
Clarksburg N 1904 was $4,000 in
round MURDERS. In 1905 it was
Eve per cent. more than that, and
this year it can be seven per cent.
more than $4,000. In other words
TO compute the maximum lawful
amount of tax for this year get
seven percent Of $29, 600 and add to
it $4,000. The same is true as to
district levies, if needed, also as to
school leyies.

One reason why Peruna hasfound per-

contains no narcotics of any kind. Pc
runa is perfectly harmless. 1t can be
used any lengthof time without acquir-
ing drug habit. Peruna does not pro-
duce temporary results. 1t is per-
manent in its effect.

OLD MACHINE DOOMED.

Some queer revelations are grad
ually creeping out as to what the
Democratic machine of this county
is planning, or rather how It is try
ing to @work" the party for its own
benefit.
The plan was well and deeply
laid and was not supposed to be
seen into or exposed, but prominent
members of that party shrewdly dis
ceroed the game and have NO hesi-
tation in expressing Themselves in a
most positive and not altogether fav-
orable manner.
Democrats themselves charge, and
The Clarksburg telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1874-1926, 1906-08-03

have for years, that the party for a
long time has been under the manip-
ulation and domination Of a ma
chine. composed of the Davises,
Horrors and others, who once fed at
the public crib. Such accusations
have been made in and out Of party
councils and conventions and have
been fully proven by events To
day the past is not forgotten and the
same objections, but far stronger,
are much in evidence by prominent
members of the party, who have
fought the battles of Democracy
ever since they were old enough to
vote, and they declare themselves
utterly tired and disguised with
such leadership, which they assert is
not for the benefit of the Democratic
party in general or as an organiza-
ton, but merely for using the party
for individual political preferment
and benefit.
This bitter feeling has become all
the more acute since it has been told
that influence has been brought to
bear in the congressional matter
this year. 1t is known that John
". Davis viii decline, and he is re-
ported as really already having de-
clined, to accept the nomination for
congress, on the grounds he can not
afford it, even if he were to be
elected, of which there is not the
slightest possibility. It is also as
serted by prominent members of the
Democratic party in Harrison coun-
ty that the reason he can not afford
it is because of the present great
Development period, in which the
corporations command his services
Again, it is asserted that it is the
desire of other and older members
of the Democratic machine that Mr..
Davis shall some tine later receive
the nomination, and, FOR the purpose
of making that possible they will
urge the nomination of his father,
j.. Davis, at this time. Some say
be is an ayoved candidate for the
nomination. This would seem to
bear out, if true, the assertion made
that the plan is, if it can be success
fully worked, to give John W. Davis
the nomination in two or four years
hence. .>.--...-,--+-t--~-
Also, to make sure and to be se-
cure, it is stated, the machine has
sought to divide Harrison county IN
the matter, and viii more than ike
" back the candidacy Of some other
Harrison county Democrat than Col.
Houston so that the nomination may

Thomas Horror, whose election is
50 highly improbable that the Tele-
gram does not entertain the
thought They know Tom can not
be elected and would be dead one
after the campaign, thus preserving
The opportunity for the Harrison
county Democratic machine later.
At any cost the grip Of that ma
chine must not be lost on the Demo-
cratic party in Harrison county, the
machine itself realizes, if the future
is to be provided for to its advant-
age, and in view of that are its
plans now laid, which are becoming

Protect Your
 Vitality
H. Goodman's Sensible Advice to Take
 Care of the Digestion.

Did you ever stop to think of the duty that you owe to yourself and to your family to protect your vitality, so that your powers may be always at their best?
 Just consider yourself a wonderful and complicated machine, peri,etually working ana wearing out.
 The vital p;Tt of the human rnacmrc is the stomach When it is strong and acts naturally, so that digestion is per feet and the food that furnishes oui steam power is stimulated, and the waste properly removed, then we can dI cur best work and get the most en- joyment out of life.
 On tha other hand, if the stomach gI' es out all the vital organs will soon fccome weakened and diseased. T'u:re vii be headaches, back-aches, pains in :he s,des and limbs. specks before tlIe eyes. loss of a.pe tite, sleepiessness. weakness and debility.
 Il. Goodman very sensibly advises [ eCple to take care of the digesti Ii by strengthening the stomach witt Mi-o- nc tablets. remedy which nc abso- "tely guarantee is a positive cu.a for al stomach trOUD D'.-s, except can,t.. of tte stomach, and scns it with the un- standing that it costs ucthing un- less il cures.
 ust as soon as y"u feel that ycu.. f' oo does not pr 9 ly 'lignst, that you taste it after eating. that the tongue ; fired, the breati heavy. the appalite poor, the head dull and aching. begin the use of Mi-o-na stomach tablets. This is not a patent medicine, and it's formula is furnished to all intelligent people who may desire it. It makes positive and lasting cures, and is sold under an absolute guarantee that it cures all diseases of the stomach ex- ceptIng cancer. Ask H. Goodman to snow you the guarantee he gives with every 50 cent box of Mi-o-na.

PENSIONS


An editorial appearing in recent
,sue of Golfers Weekly commenting
upon speech OF Representative
Gardner. OF Michigan. in presenting
the pension appropriation bill. dis
closes some startling facts in connec-
ton with the immense burden the
people OF this country are bearing in
the matter of pensions. An mveSu-
CATION OF the facts shows that while
the United States has "a smaller
standing army than almost any
other great power of the earth. We
are the worst military ridden nation
of the globe. If measured IN dollars
and cents. The bill recently passed
10y Congress appropriateS l39milhon
dollars for pensions for one year, an
amount more than double the total
annual pension expenditures o!
France. Germany. Austria-liungary
and Great Britain combined. Every
wear it is predicted that the next
years pension appropriation viii be
smaller. AMI although pensioners
drop from the rolls at the rate OF
10000 annually, there are always
10000 new pensioners found 10 take
their places.
The article goes on to say that
Mr.. Gardner 81 ows that Judging by
the analogy OF past wars )we are
now paying five pensions on account
of the Revolution, which ended 123
years ago., there will be sixty pen
sioners of the civil war in the year
1889. That is to say.ii a child born
after the close OF the war grew W
and had child at the age oftwenty-
five. and that child should have
another child at the same age, ana
that child should have anOtherchild
and that child should have another.
the last child would have time to
grow up and pay taxes for pensions
on account of "a war that had ended
before his neutrality-suspicious.
was born.
There are now more Spanish war
veterans on the pension roll thanthe
entire number of Skaters army in
Cuba. In that whole war there were
COS deaths from wounds. G,GlO from
all causes. including disease, and
9.37S casualties of every description.
There have already been filed 90 GS'
applications for pensions on account
of that war-more than twO-thirds
as many as We're fled in the same
length of time after The civil war; III
which over seven times as many men
fought fifteen times as long. with the
loss OF over fifty times IA many lives
and it is estimated that in twenty
six years from now the number OF
Spanish war pensioners will exceed
10000. or about four times the
number OF men that ever heard a
Spanish bullet At that time We
may expect to have all told about
half million pensioners, even il we
have no more wars in the interval
Foreign critics who accuse US OF
bellicose designs do not realize how
heavily we are bonded to keep the
peace
We favor liberal pensions to real
veterans, but if it is necessary to cut
many deserving soldiers to get rid OF
the frauds, in the name of heaven let
it be done. The welfare OF the whole
people is infinitely more important
than that OF any one man or set OF
men.
