six years later obtain now with even
stronger force. Bringing to the
Senate that same energy, that same
ability. that same capacity. and that
same courage that in private life en-
iabled him to rise from a poor farm
ier boy to one of the foremost finan-
ceers of his day, and which, in West
Virginia politics enabled him to
marshal the Republican forces so as
to rescue the State from Democratic
domination, Senator Elkins was not
long in becoming one of the most
distinguished and influential mem
Ibers Of the Senate. During his
career in that body he has always
given that same attention to the
public business that marked his
career in private life. Whether it
was in pressing the passage of the
most Insignificant pension claim or
lin presiding over the most import
ant committees of the Senate, Sen
ator Elkins has always addressed
himself to the task with all the zeal
and energy for which his name is a
synonym. As a result he has been
one Of the members of the Senate
who does things. A study of the
records will show that lie has looked
las carefully after the matters of in
Idividual citizens of his State as any
other Senator ever has. He has
gotten scores Of pensions for the
NEEDY heroes of the war, he has look
led after the claims of his constitu-
tents in Congress, has looked after
Their interests among the depart
ments. And all the while he has
brought that wonderful business
Judgment Of his to bear in the solu-
Ition OF the great problems that have
confronted the nation. Who can
shy how much his services have been
worth to his State and his country.

LAYING LEyIEs.

1t is very important that leyying
bodies such as county courts and
boards of education, as well as city
and town councils, familiarize them
selves with the new tax laws, before
they undertake to lay levies this
year, or they may have to do it all
over. The following sent out from
Charleston ought to be a sufficient
guide to them:
The time is near when the differ
ent levying bodies are fixing the
levies for 1906. The levying bodies
should be extremely careful to fix
the levy for 1906. 1t has been Gus
tomary for a number Of county
courts and some boards of education
of this State TO estimate the amount
of property upon which to levy taxes.
Such an undertaking was war
ranted when the value of property
was reasonably well known. but
these bodies should bear in mind that
conditions under The new tax law
are different AID that for the pres
emf no one is able to state what the
return from the personal property
assessors and the board of public
works win be. In fact, it is i'm
possible for any one to guess even at
the aggregate value of taxable prop
erty. The law provides that for
1906 no levying bodies shall levy
taxes which will raise in the aggre-
gate more money than in 1904 plus
Z per cent. If leyying body there
fore attempts to estimate the
amount Of property subject to taxa
lion or attempt to estimate the as
sessment Of the board of public
works there is Danger to exceed the
levy. Some Of tie county courts in
The State hold their levying term ii
June, which Is entirely too early.
The law provides that the leyying
term shall not " later than July,
therefore The leyying bodies should
not hold their Ievymg term till they
receive the total amount Of property
subject to taxation. t should he
remembered that Inc law gives to
The personal propertv assessors until
July 20 TO present tie books 10 The
county courts. (Seo Acts Of 1868.
Chapter 30. Sec, 11S). These books
are naturally The basis Of the levy
for the current year and it is sug-
gested that the county courts nd
journ from time 10 time till these
returns are available. The boards
of education meet as a rule on The
first Monday in July to provide iol
the levy, or as soon thereafter as
practical. They will have 10 adj
journ, TOO, from time to time, til
the assessors and the board of public
works viii have been heard from
1t is, however, more than probable
that the board Of public works vii
finish its work during this month
and if the assessors are well ad.
yanced with their work by the first
of July the different leyying bodies
will be able to have the situation well
in hand by the time their duties re.
quirc them to lay the levy.

1t is understood that the value Of
the railroads in West Virginia is
computed to be 220 million dollars.
That this valuation is very near the
actual value is proven by the fact
that the United States census shows
for 1904 valuation of 1901, $4,000
The railroads then were assessed for
$2S, III ,35S, or at 14.2 per cent.
Very few states till recently have
assessed the railroads at anything
than true valuation. Wisconsin
and Michigan assessed the railroads
at more than 70 per cent. of the
actual value, but other states asses
them as low IS : per cent.

is needed Is enforcement, and prop

II is positivey known that las5
Friday night parties thoroughly

and on Saturday night thebig whirl-
pool below West Milford was dyna-

serted, the parties are known and
that they will be brought to justice.
1t ought to be the duty of every
man along the river and the creeks
to report the parties who engage in
scining and in dynamiting fish,
that they may be punished and that
such violations may be broken up.
Every man who has the least sport
ing blood in him will so report
them.
There is d heavy penalty attach

should not be allowed to escape that
penalty, no matter who they be or
what their station in life.

Man gtad to write my endorse
ment of the great remedy, Peruna,
as a nerve ionic. do SO most
heartily. "--Juiia Marl0we.

Nervousness is very common among
women. This condition is due to anemic
nerve centers. The nerve centers are
the reservoirs of nervous vitality. These
centers become bloodless for want of
propoi nutrition.
This is especially true in the spring
season. Every spring hest of inyalids
gre produced as the direct result ofwcak
nerves.
This can be easily obviated by using
Peruna. Peruna strikes at the root of the
difficulty by correcting the digestion.

PROTECT THE FISH.

Repeated efforts have been made
to stock the streams of the county
with fish, but there seems but little
use, unless the laws in this respect
be enforced, and the Telegram urges
that The next grand jury act in the
matter. 1t is pretty well under
stood that that body will make the
most searching inquiry in this re-
spcct Judge Lynch will likely cs-
The Clarksburg telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1874-1926, 1906-05-18

Digestion furnishes nutrition for tho
nerve centers. Properly disested food
furnishes these reservoirs of life with
vitality which leads TO strong, steady
nerves, and TINS nourishes life.
Peruna is in great favor among
men,ospecially thosewho have voca-
tions that are trying TO the nerves.
Pcruna furnishes the lasting vigor
for the nerves that snch people need.
Thousands of testimonials from
women in all parts of the United States
are being received every year. Such
unsolicited evidence surely proves that
Peruna is without an equal US a nerve
tonic and vi tai invisorator.
