Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they canno
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube When this tube is infam-
ed you have rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the resnlt, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infaned condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh)

THE present fight being made
against Senator Bailey is unparal-
leled in history and a crying shame.
IF he is guilty, it is certainly a
shame on the people of Texas that
he should have done so and now
fights to retain his hold. IF he is
innocent, again it is an everlasting
shame and injustice being done
him and consequently us, his peo-
pie. But more IS the pity, the pull
ing down a man from his height,
with his ability and prospects,
whether innocent or guilty and at
the same time pulling one of the
strongest props from under the
democratic party and the hootin 6
and jerring of opposing parties.
Why couldn't we have kept the
matter in the family and had it out
without publishing to the world
our shame?.

YOUR ROSES ON THE
LIVING.

It IS a beautiful sentiment that
prompts US to place sweet and beati-
ful flowers on the resting place of
our dead as token of undying
remembrance, but it always seems
to be something like tardy recog-
milton. It seems that we may have
waited until their feet had strayed
over the dark and silent river before
we undertook to express for them
the real love that had an abiding
place in Our hearts.
And the cold clay sleeping in its
last resting place is utterly insensi-
bic of Our action. Though we bury
the sacred mound completely from
sight in a profusion of the rarest
and sweetest flowers that can be
produced. they can whisper no
tender word of our undying love to
the sleeper. And that fact should
admonish us to be more tender with
our loved ones while they are per-
mitted to remain in our unbroken
circle. Let us not only love them
as we should, but let us whisper
that love into the living ear often
enough to convince the object that |
it does not have to die to win an
expression of appreciation. The
following from the Garland News
just about fits the situation:
If our friends have caskets sealed
and laid away, filled with the sweet
perfume of love and kindness, which
they intend to unSeal when this
hand IS stilled in death-while its
sweet to think that rose may be
planted over our graves-we would
very much prefer they would unseal
them while we are climbing this
rugged and briared path of life and
the keen thorns of pain are lurking
near, that the weary hours may be
cheered and life refreshed and
now while tired and t
almost ready to sink by the way
side and no further to go. A plain
,asket and no flowers, if need be, t
will be all the body will need after {
he soul has taken flight to other
worlds than this, but, oh, fill the
ife with sweetness, kindness and
owe. Plant rose on the hearth
stone of some neighbor and friend, q
hat its modest, silent sweetness
nay kiss the weary heart at morn,
loon, at eve and every hour.
Flowers on the grave cast no fra
GRANGE backward over the weary
,ears." Plant we a rose that it may
bloom over the living.
Keep it not for the dead, where it
must bloom bowed and silently
WED.
Gentle reader don't wait until
fter death to give to the world an
exhibition of your love for and your
ride in your loved ones. Give it
II to them in this life but the bet
er and the sweeter. And when
cath comes and you place sweet 4
owers on the new made grave it

SANTOS VAL

City Assessor and Collector.
Martinsburg statesman. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1869-1906, 1906-07-20

There has been some coIninent on the
action of the hoard of education OF
Martinsburg district in laying the levy
for building purposes. The action OF
the board is entirely within the pur-
view of the statute and is necessary to
meet the requirement of the schools.
The crowded condition of the second
and third ward schools make the de-
mand for more room an urgent one.
The crowded condition of these two
schools hasIexisted for a number of
years and the matter has been put off
from year to year until the matter has
to be met. Fifty pupils in a room with
but forty seats in condition tn at can
not longer.be stood.
The board TO meet this urgent need
has decided TO proceed in the most eco
nomical manner possible and are hav-
ing an addition of two rooms added TO
the second ward building. This will
give eight teachers to that building
and the experiment will be tried Of Il
teacher To each grade. This is the best
arrangement that could be made by
the board will at least for some years
and relieve the crowded condition Of
the second and third ward schools.

The ScnooI Board.

The school board of the Independtn
school district of Martinsburg met on
Monday night last and transacted
quite large amount Of important
business.
The salaries of three teachers were
increased os follows: w, A. Dreamer,
assistant principal at the High school
from $40 to $50. w. A. Pitzer principal
of the second ward school from $40 to
$50 and Lee Siler principal OF the thlrn
ward school from SO to $50 and Mr..
Fries from $50 to so.
This is a most just and proper act
and well-earned reward for these
faithful and earnest teachers. The levy
for the coming year was set at teachers
fund 80 cents. Building fund 70 cents
making a total levy of 80 cents on the
hundred dollars which is a reduction
of u cents.
The question of new High school
building was discussed and the board
considered recommendation from
the State Superintendent that che
board visit the towns Of Grafton, Fair
mont and Morgantown to see the
High school buildings in those places
to get ideas as to plans Tor an up-to-
date school building. There seems to
be no doubt that if tne board is going
to put up new building that they
would save many times the cost OF the
little junket in having good up-to-
date building for High school purposes
A new High school building is
needed and it cannot be had for moth
ing. The board is talking of the adv is
ability of submitting to the voters OF
the town the question of issuing S50,-
0J0 in bonds for the erection of the
new building. We are not usually very
friendly to the idea of band issues but
if this is a necessity everybody would
probably vote for it.

Col. John T. McGraw, the demo
cratic leader in West Virginia, struck
it .ch again on Friday last. The sec
ond test well which he put down at
Meadland, in Booths Creek district
not far from Grafton came in with a
rush and roar, a big gasser, three
times as big as the first well put down
several months ago. The flow was
strucd at the depth of 200 feet. The
well is located on the farm of County
Commissioner L. S. Morrow, about a
mile from the first well, which was
put down III this field, and this is the
farthest point east that natural gas has
been found. 1t is less than 100 miles
west Of Cumberland. The natural gas
to be piped into Cumberland will be
a distance of 10 miles.

The Republican theory that the

heartily endorses the spending mania
and extravaganza of his party. For
