The Norfolk and Western Railway
Company has issued weeping order re-
garding cigarettes. No employee of the
company Will in the future be allowed to
remain on the payroll if he is addicted to
the cigarette habit and does not give it
up, and no person will be employed who
smoke cigarettes. The United States
Navy Yard commanders have taken like
stringent action. and will receive no more
boys who are cigarette smokers. How
would it do for our Legislature to enact
a law making it misdemesnor for a
minor to smoke cigarettes 1t might
prove in some degree the salvation of the
coming generation

Substantial fire escapes have been
placed on the Jefferson and Palm hotels
here. This Is required by the Acts of the
last legislature under heavy penalty
Tne most dangerous building in Charles
Town, in respect to the need of fire es-
capes, is probably the High School build
ing, which this law does not seem to
ever. Our Board of Education would
act wisely in providing this life-saving
measure without the necessity of COM
palsory law in that direction.

Three Yilled-Property Loss
Is Heavy.

indianapolis, Ind, jan 16-DiS-
patches from over the state tell of sew
efal fatalities, many injuries and seri-
Gus damage to buildings of all kinds
as the result of a severe wind, rain
and sleet storm, accompanied by light
ming. In many instances the dis
patches report that the wind attained
a velocity of 60 miles an hour. A.
Circleville, wall of brick school
house was blown in upon about &c

debris. One was killed and about a
dozen injured. At Evansville small
frame house was hurled against an al
Joining building. Both were demoT-

many thousand dollars. Many derricks
and power houses were blown down or
demolished, and many companies will

TRIPLE TRAGEDY.
William r. Brandt of Otsego Kills
Man and Woman and Then
Ends His Own Life.

Elk River, Mimi, Jan. 17.-In a fit of
jealous rage, William R. Brandt, a
farmer living in the little village of
Otsego, three miles west of here, shot
and killed his wife and Justin Adams,
then, turning the weapon to his left
temple, shot himself through the head.
That the tragedy was deliberately
planned there seems to be no doubt.
No person witnessed the shooting The
investigation made by the coroner
shows that some hours interviewed be-
tween the two murders. At noon yes
terday Brandt's wife went to a neigh
boris to dinner. She returned to her
home at 1890 o'clock, and it is sup
posed was shot down by her husband
a few minutes later Brandt was seen
shortly before one o'clock, and four
hours later he had conversation with
a man named Hall Brandt then
sought Justin Adams, who lived in
neighbours house. Taking Adams
around to the rear of the farm, he is
supposed ty have decoyed him into a
barn. There he shot Adams in the
right temple. The body was found
leaning over a manger.
Brandt next visited a neighbours
home, where his 4-year-old son, Mar
vim, was staying. Taking the child in
his arms, he kissed MIN and told him
he would go and make the house warm
and then take him home. Kissing him
again he returned to the scene of the
murder of his wife, entere the kitchen
aud attempted to set fire to the place
At the same time he shot himself
through the left temple and fell to the
floor dead
His clothing was badly burned and
it is supposed that he fell across the
burning mat, on which he had poured
kerosene oil and set on fire.

Remedies the Best on Earth"

In the year 1899 the side of my right
foot was cut off from the little toe down

calf was nothing but proud flesh. I
suffered untold agonies for four years, and
tried different physicians and all kinds
of ointments. l could walk only with
crutches. In two weeks afterwards I
saw change in my limb. Then 1 began
using Cuticura Soap and Ointment often
during the day and kept it up for seven
months, when my limb was healed up Just

eight months now since 1 stopped using

making observations in regard to the
deviation Of rifle bullets. One day,
when walking on the ramparts at Dup
pei, he saw a Prussian sharpshooter
taking aim at him. While the soldier
placed himself against tree, in order
to take a steadier aim, the officer
raised his glass to watch his move

was pulled, and the Danish officer
quickly wrote down: "At distance of
about five hundred yards the deviation
Of ball from rifle musket is about

HEAVY FORGERIES
ARE UNEARTHED
BOGUS SECURITIES AMOUNTING
TO 81, 900, 900 DISCLOSED BY
CLEVELAND FAILURE.
Total Indebtedness of Denison, Prior
& Co., Placed at 81 900, OoO,with
Assets of $500, ooo-A List of the
Worthless Bonds Is Given.

Cleveland, o., Jan. 16.-According 10
R. Newcomb, of the bankers commit
tee investigating the affairs of Den
ison, Prior & Co., which is in the
hands of Receiver Thomas H. Bush
nell, the developments of the day show
that the gross liabilities of the firm
will be 100000, not including the ST.
100000 in supposedly forged securities.
The assets of the firm, Mr. Newcomb
believes, will be about 100000.
The formal statement from Mr. New
comb to this effect follows: Il have
just had a conference with c. E. Den
gone carefully over the assets and La
bilities of the firm. AS near as we can
figure it out, the gross liabilities will
be 100000, not including the $1,000, 900
in forged securities. Figuring these in
the gross liabilities will be 81 300, 000
The assets of the firm, we believe, will
be $500,000 That means that the net
liabilities will be 81 100000 unless
other forged securities are found, and
l firmly believe that we now have
found all that exist. These figures are
approximate, not exact. Assets and IL
abilities may vary to the extent OF
100000 or 100000 more or less. The
value of the assets will depend on how
they are used"
Mr.. Newcomb believes that few of
the forged bonds were gotten into
banks outside the city of Cleveland
that the forgeries were used as collat-
eral mostly in this city. That would
make the extent of the involving Of
outside financial institutions small
Mr.. Newcomb said.
The Forged Securities.
The amount of the bond forgeries
were increased Monday by $500, OGO
and now total $1,0OO,OO0 The follow

ment OF its bond coupons.
Prior's Safe Opened.
The private safe of Mr.. Prior was
opened Monday. after three days work
by experts. 1t is said that it con-
tanned no papers or memoranda that
would disclose anything of aid in
learning the status of the firms af-
fairs. Among the contents of the safe
was the insurance policies to tie
amount of 100000 on Mr.. Prior's life.
These were divided among four COM
panies. $4,000 in one company and
$4,000 each in three others. Stocks
representing less than $4,000 were also
found in the safe None of the life
insurance policies were invalidated by

UNCONSCIOUS POISONING.
How It often Happens from Coffee.

81 had no idea," writes a Duluth
man, that it was the coffee had been
drinking all my life that was respon-
sible for the headaches which were
growing upon me, for the dyspepsia
that no medicines would relieve, and
for the acute nervousness which un.
fitted me not only for work but also
for the most ordinary social functions.
But at last the truth dawned upon
me and forthwith bade the harmful
beverage a prompt farewell, ordered
In some Postum, and began to use 1t.
The good effects of the new food
drink were apparent within a very
few days. My headaches grew less
frequent, and decreased in violence,
my stomach grew strong and able to
digest my food without distress OF
any kind, my nervousness has gone,
and / am able to enjoy life with my
neighbors and sleep soundly o'nights.
MY physical strength and nerve pow
er have increased so much that /
can do double the work / used to do,
and feel no undue fatigue afterwards.
This improvement set in just as
soon as the old coffee poison had so
worked out of my system as to allow
the food elements in the Postum to
get hold to build me up again. l
cheerfully testify that 1t was Postum.
and Postum alone that did all this,
for when I began to drink it threw
physic to the dogs" Name given by
