Keep Your Blood Pure.

No one can be happy, light hearted
aid healthy with body full of blood
that cannot do it's duty to every part
because of its impurlty; therefore, the
first and most important work in hand
is to purify the blood so that every Or
gan will get the full benefit of healthy
circulation. There is no remedy we
know of so good as that old family
remedy, Brandreth's Pills. Each pill
contains one grain of the solid extract
of sarsaparilla blended with two grains
of combination of pure and mild veg
etable products, making il blood pur-
ifier unexcelled in character. One or
two taken every night for awhile will
produce surprising results.
Brandeth's Pills have been in use
for over century and are sold in every
drug store and medicine store, either
plain or or sugar-coated.

Governor Dawson's discussion OF the
tax question in his message TO the
present legislature would in ordinary
type ill twelve columns of The Senti-
nell He quotes largely from court
decisions and gives in full several
pages OF arguments by ex-President
Harrison before the Supreme Court OF
the United States.
On this subject the Governor asks
that the tax commissioner be given
greater authority than he now pos
sesses, and power to execute his au-
thor1ty.
For the purposes of increasing taxa
ton, the Governor recommends thai
the board of public works be given
authority to resess banks, building as
soclations and leaseholds. And he
recommends recordation tax stamp
on deeds. contracts, leases, etc., an ~
crease Of the tax on premiums of in
surance companies of all kinds; an in
crease OF the valuation of banks; an in
herltance tax, an increase of license
tax on whiskey, beer, etc., an income
tax on the gross earnings of all public
service corporations; and he thinks a
small tax on the DIVIDENDS of such
corporations would not be bad. He
also suggests tax on notaries' cert
ficates or others.
The Governor recommends that all
banks be assessed on their capital and
surplus. The difference between the
assessments of national and state
banks is fully discussed, showing how
national banks are favored at the
expense of state banks. He think.
that the beard of public work.
should assess the banks. Another re.
commentator is that the sheriff col
lect all municipal taxes.-Sentinei.

Unemployed Wealth.

West Virginia has one enormous re-
sourse of which little is heard. This
resource lies idle, but it possesses
almost undesirable possibilities. 1t
is the water power. No estimate of
its total has ever been made; but it is
clearly within the limit 20 say that our
States water power is sufficient to
turn every wheel in West Virginia. If
our coal and gas were gone, and our
oil was pumped out, no machinery
need top. Water wheels along the tur-
bulent mountain streams would be
capable of developing sufficient cleo
tricity to do all the work within our
borders.
Coal will eventually become expen-
sive, and finally cease to exist among
our mountains;gasw will be gone within
the next generation. But our rivers
will pour down their never falling
| floods so long as time lasts. The only
menance to the supply is the destruc-
ton of the forests. If they go, the
| AAfSio w III lul low NJ tlIuCS anu run
riot at others. But if normal condi-
ton prevails, our streams will forever
be source of wealth. The power
which they are capable of developing
is worth millions annually. Sites for
| power plants will some time be as val
liable as coal mines are now, and many
a rocky gorge, not now worth it's taxes
will be sold for fortune. People will
then wonder why they were SO stupid
as not to forsee the future value Of
such things. 1t will be the same story
over again of the timber and coal. The
original owners will part with their
possessions without knowing what
they are doing, as they have done with
valuable property in the past. The
chief mode of travel through West Vir-
! GINA in the future will be by trolley,
| and the electricity will be generated by
water .-Mergantown Chronicle.

Goes Back to Minlna.

IL. ii. Hicks announces that he has
quit the stage forever. Hicks is the
man, who, for Is days, was buried
alive in tunnel of the Edison Elec-
trio Company on Kern river, Califor-
uia,and whose rescue attracted the
worlds attention. He made his debut
recently as an actor, and sorry spec-
tacle he Was
Such was his stage fright that it was
pitlful TO see his terror. Hicks had been
coached thoroughly and had commit
ted to memory the story of his amaz-
lag escape from death. His hackers
supposed his tale of the rescue, which,
ofcourse. Lad been written for him,
would maze nit.
At the last moment Hicks baked.
He refused TO go on the stage at all, and
declared he did not care what bis man
ager lost.
He finally consented TO take seat in
the front row and answer such ques-
lions as were put to him. When the
first question was asked he demanded
a chew of tobacco before answering.
Then he sat sullenly and answered
questions in monosyllables and grunts,
until the crowd that had paid to see
him became weary and left the hall.
HEX says he prefers mining to lee
turing. He signed contract to appear
in public for $500 week. He is going
back to mining at So day. y
