VOTED THE STRAIGHT TICKET.

An incident with a lesson attached
has been brought to the attention Of
the West virglnlan. At a certain
polling place in this county at the
election an illiterate voter asked the
clerks to help him I'LL out his ticket.
one Of the clerks went into the booth
with the fellow and went carefully
over the list with him, having to spell
out all the names, Finally, the "for
or against the school levy" section
was reached. He promptly voted
against the levy and then seemed to
be hunting for something else 1t
was explained to him that they had
reached the end Of the ticket, when
he suddenly asked, Where's the place
you vote on the new tax laws, ! want
to vote agin them" 1t was explained
to him that he couldn't vote against
the tax laws directly, but he wouldn't
5be convinced until the other clerk
was called and corroborated the state.

Morgan Quizzes Cromwell.

The appearance of William Nelson
Cromwell, the New York lawyer who has
been prominent in the affairs OF the
Panama republic and the Panama canal,
before the Senate committee on inter
oceanic canals, gave Senator Morgan Of
Alabama the opportunity he had been
looking for and he did not neglect it. NJ,
Cromwell began by explaining his con
nection with the French canal company
and with the American enterprise. He
said his firm had been counsel for the
Panama railroad for twelve years. He
denied that any part of the $4OO0O,O00
purchase money for the French rights had
gone to his firm. Since 1904 he had serv-
ed as legal adviser for the republic Of
Panama. At one time Senator Morgan
said he would attend to Cromwell on the
floor of the Senate. Mr.. Cromwell adj
mitte1 that he had received about $780,
600 from the new Panama company.
When asked what service he had render
ed he said that professional secrets were
involved in the question and that his eli
ents were satisfied.

Totals .S1O4,2O4

The total in this miscellaneous class is
highe" than at any time in thirty years.
and the recent rise occurred chiefly in
building materials.
Aside from a general advance in meats.
most food products became cheaper, but
the general level of prices is higher than
on March 1, 1905, despite the fact thai
foodstuffs have declined about 6 per cent.
Quotations for live stock and provis-
ions have not shown the customary dispo-
sition to follow the course of the grain
markets, practically every item in the
list recording more or less advance, mess
pork rising $1.25 per barrel during Feb
ruary and $1.75 since the opening of the
year.
In fact, the upward tendency in meats
has been in progress, with scarcely any
interruption, since early last autumn. a
moderate decrease occurred in prices OF
dairy and garden products, the principal
differences being lower quotations for
milk, eggs, hay and cheese, while butter
rose another cent, and vegetables were
also slightly higher.

passages, throat, bronchia, or other mu-

tor all diseases arising from thin, watery
or impure blood, as scrofulous and skin
affections.
Each bottle OF the above medicines
bears upon its wrapper a badge OF hon.

This frank and open publicity places
setues, and is the best guaranty Of their
merits. They cannot be classed as patent
nor secret medicines for they are neither
being Of k1ao1on composition.
DR.. Pierce feels that he can afford to
take the afflicted into his full confidence
and lay all the ingredients of his medi-
cines freely before them because these
ingredients are such as are endorsed and
most strongly praised by scores Of the
most eminent medical writer's as cures
for the diseases for which these medi-
cines are recommended. Therefore, the
afflicted do not have to rely alone upon
DR.. Pierce's recommendation as to the
curative value of his medicines for Ger.
tain easily recognized diseases.
A glance at the printed formula on
each bottle will show that no alcohol and
no harmful or habit forming drugs enter
into DR.. Pierces medicines, they being
wholly compounded of glyceric extracts
of the roots of native, American forest
plants. These are best and safest for
the cure of most lingering, chronic dis
eases. Or. R. v. Pierce can be consulted

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion OF the ear. There il
only one way to cure deafness, and that Is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition OF the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it Is
entirely closed, Deafness Is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to it's normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by Ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an inhamed con-
dition Of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrhl
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.

ARMY OF LAWMAKERS.
More than 5000 of Them Required
to Frame Our Statutes.


There are S,155 lawmakers in the
United States, counting both State and
federal legislators and those who are en-
gagged in the framing of laws for Ha-
wall and Porto Rico. These lawmakers
cost lot of money. In New York the
members of the Assembly and Senators
used to get $15 day each, with the idea
that the session would last on an average
of 100 days.
This limit was overrun so often, how
ever, that a change was made some years
ago, the payment of each session being
Fixed at 81, 800 for each of the 200 Sen
ators and Assemblymen, or just $500, 900
a year in salaries for the lawmakers them
selves. These salaries, of course, are only
q beginning in the annual cost OF the
lawmaking mill there are legislative en-
plOyes of many sorts and grades; all
have to be paid, and the grand total would
be fortune every year for anybody with
notions of wealth below the multi-mill-
ionaire level.
In most other States the pay is by the
day, ranging from So in Kansas and some
other States to So in Florida. Penpsyl-
vania pays 81 ,500 a session, like New
York Massachusetts,, $3.50; Illinois, ST.
600; New Jersey, $500: Wisconsin, $500 I;
Mississippi, $500; Ohio, $500; Iowa,
$3.50; Washington, $500, and Maine,
$3.50.
Such investigating committees as the
insurance committee, whose report is now
up in the New York Legislature, are a
fruitful source of cost, and years when
such Investigations are made the law
making expense is increased in New York
by many thousands of dollars.

OHIO SHIP CANAL.
Bill to Incorporate n Company Is
Presented in Congress.

Presented in Congress-.
The bill to incorporate the Lake Erie
and Ohio River Ship Canal Company was
taken up by the House by the vote of 1856
to 81. Chairman Davidson (Republi-
CAM of Wisconsin of the committee on
railways and canals said this would be
the last link in the chain of waterways
from New York TO New Orleans, over
which the commerce of twenty-four States
could 90, and, ''as canals everywhere
have proved to be, would be a regulator
of railway rates" Leader Williams Of
the minority said he suspected that the
franchise had already been turned over
to the Pennsylvania railroad or some
other railroad interest at Pittsburg. His
objection to the bill was that the govern
ment surrendered its power over a river
and harbor improvement to private cor
poraticn. Mr.. Dalzell (Republican) OF
Pennsylvania, who is the author of the
BILL declared it to be a great national
project, the construction of which would
not cost the government a penny. He
said that the idea of connecting the lakes
and the Ohio had been advocated as far
back as 1924, when the government made
the first surveys.
