The recital hall of the Conservatory of Music was crowded yesterday afternoon or the occasion of the regular Sunday musicale.

Once upon time youth, who had
commenced to navigate the sea of mat

Then the old man smiled and said:
Here are 100 chickens and team Of
horses. Hitch up the horses, load the
chickens into the wagon and where
ever you can find . man and his wife
dwelling, stop and make inquiry as
to who is the boss. Wherever you find
a woman running things leave chick

the man.

Bailey and Warden, are standing
pat and the prospect is that all
three will stay in the race up to- tIle

a former pastor Of Golf chapel, at
Clarksburg, and Mr.. B. F. Bailey i:
well known here, his wife being for
merly Miss Faris of this county.

.IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS
Don't Mistake the Cause Of Your
Troubles A Clarksburg Citizen
Shows How to Cure Them.

Many people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from lame,
weak or aching back they think that
it is only a muscular weakness;
when urinary trouble sets in they
Think will soon correct itself. And
so it is with all the other symptoms
Of kidney disorders. That is just
where the danger lies. You must
cure these troubles or they lead to
diabetes or Bright's disease. The
best remedy to use is Doan's Kidney
Pills. 1t cures all ills which are
caused by weak or diseased kidneys.
Clarksburg people testify to perman-
ent cures.
Mrs. Wesley Davis, Wesley Davis
school teacher, residence 5l7 E. Pike
street, says; "My son, a young man
of % years of age, complained a great
deal at times of lameness and soreness
in his back. Knowing that such annoy.
ances were apt to grow complicated il
not attended to he was induced to use
Doan's Kidney Pills and procured them
at Wells I Haymaker's drug store. From
the results he received SO quickly, quietly
and thoroughly there is no doubt but

Now that West Virginia may soon
be defendant in a suit to be brought
by Virginia to recover part of the
old Virginia debt, it is refreshing to
recall that soon after the separation
a committee of the West Virginia
legislature, whose chairman was
Jonathan NJ. Bennett, reported that
instead of West Virginia being the
creditor for a dollar, the old state
owed the new state about half mil
lion. This was based upon the fact
that since the days of the Revolution
almost, that part Of the State which
is now West Virginia, had been pay
ing taxes for improvements in the
eastern part of Virginia.

Of discrimination, in accordance with

several sittings to be held away from
Washington will be in West Virgin
ia. Among other things to be in
vestigated is the fact Of The rail
roads being engaged in producing
commodities in which they compete
with others who must use these rail
ways to get their products 10 mar
