Apparently not a thing has been
nor will be done in regard to investi-
eating the finding of the embryonic
child near the Swift s. Company
storage on last Thursday evening.
So far as is known not a. scintilla
of effort is being used to bring the
guilty party or parties to answer for
the crime. Even the Moneypenny
girl. the only witness who can
identify the woman seen at the iso-
lated spot where the child was found
has been released from custody.
/, The woman suspected Of having
some connection with the crime, has
not been seen since last evening and
it may be that she has left the city.
II would seem, however, that she
might safely remain in the city with
out fear of arrest or embarrassing
questions being asked.

Hive YOU family? Do you realize
that the annoying kidney trouble OF your
young children, Of your baby, will lead in
time to fatal results if not remedied?
Thousands Of children, OF young men and
women, die every year because Of the
neglect Of parents to give the proper care
in this respect in their early years. Gen
orally this is due to non-realization OF
the meaning OF the symptoms, often to Il
lack of knowledge Of the Fsoper remedies.
II your little one gives any evidcnce OF a
weakness Of the kidneys, Of inaction of
the liver. get Thompson's Barosma for it.
The remedy is unfailing. 1t is absolutely
harmless, composed of pure vegetable in
gradients and prescribed all over the
world by medical practitioners Of the
highest skill and reputation. Mrs. Fred
Lobelenz, of Titusville, Pa, writes that
her little son, four years old, after being
given three bottles Of Thompson's Baros-
ma, was permanently cured Of bed-wet-
ting, an annoying trouble since babyhood.
Mrs. N. F. Leslie, Of Oil City. Pa, says
her fve-ycar-old daughter, after several
months Of ineffective treatment by physi-
clans for bladder trouble, and being in
dangerous condition, was completely
cured by six bottles Of Thompsonts

Attorney j. V. Hoeffier, who came
here more than year ago from
Woodsfeld. Ohio, where his father
resides, is said to have left Clarks-
burg very suddenly day or SO ago.
and is not expected to return.
The cause of Mr.. Hoefilcr's sud-
den departure is said to be number
of financial obligations he was un-
able to meet, amounting to several
hunrded dollars, among which is a
board bill or two.
Mr.. Hoeffler is said to have hand
led loosely the funds of a secret or
ganization, of which he was until
recently secretary-treasurer, and is
considerably indebted to the society.
The young attorney is well liked
here and it is the hope of many
Clarksburg friends that he may soon
be able to meet all these obligations
in full and that his departure was
not for the purpose of evading their
payment as none believe he means
not to pay them.
