Admiral Dewey says that in the event of a war between the United States and Japan, the Mikado's navy would be easily captured or destroyed in less than six weeks, and if there is any one man who is competent to judge, that man is Admiral Dewey. He says that the Japs are overestimated, as their success against China and Russia was foregone conclusion due to the contrast in the personnel of the opposing forces, whereas war with this country would pit Japan's fighters against men who would be far too worthy of their steel" If a war should come-which we be- lieve will not be-a capital idea would be to place Dewey in com- mand of an American fleet with orders to Capture or destroy the Japanese feet", and then cut the cable. Dewey'd do the rest.

Here is a small boys essay on newspapers. The boy should be a good editor when he grows up to manhood: Newspapers are sheets of paper on which stuff is printed. The men look it over and see their names in it. l don't know how newspapers came to be on earth, l don't believe God does. The bible says nothing about editors, and l never heard of one being in heaven. The first editor 1 heard of was the fellow that wrote up the flood. He has been here ever since. Some editors belong to the church and some try to raise whiskers. All of them raise hell in their neighbor- hood. Sometimes the paper dies and then the people feel glad; but some one starts it up again. Edi- tors never went to school because editors never get licked. Our pa- per is mighty poor one, but we take it so Ma can use it on the pam try shelves. Our editor does not amount to much, but Pa says he had poor chance when a boy. He goes without underclothes in win ter and wears no socks. Pa has not paid his subscription in four years and don't intend to-"

STRENGTHEN PACIFIC FLEET

A late dispatch from Washing ton says that Secretary Metcalf will soon issue an order designed to in- crease the strategic effectiveness of the American navy. He will con- solidate the squadrons now on the Pacific coast and in asiatic waters into one fleet under the supreme command of Rear Admiral Willard H. Brownson. This fleet will en- gage in comprehensive maneuvers, the object of which will be the pro- lection of the Pacific slope and our Pacific dependencies in case of war. It is stated authoritatively there is no connection whatever between the reorganization of the navy in the Pacific ocean and the contro- versy with Japan over the San Francisco school question and the exclusion of Japanese laborers from this country. Indeed, the general board of service, the president of which is Admiral Dewey, has been considering for some time the steps which should be taken to make more effective the ships now in the Pacific.
 It is easy apparent to anyone who understands the situation that 1t would be an easy matter for the American warships to be beaten the way they are now stationed. There is is a squadron consisting of feHr protected cruisers, two of them being heavily armed, two gunboats and five destroyers. In Asiatic waters there are four armored crui- sers, two monitors, five protected sruisers, number of gunboats, a division of five destroyers and five 5thers. United, these would be a match for any of the great powers Having ships on the Pacific.
 Secretary Metcalf and the gen. eral board do not propose to per Init the American fleet in the Pa eifc to be weaker than a possible enemy, and there is reason to be- ,ieye that before many months have passed squadron of battle Ships numbering eight of the most modern ships bearing the stars and Stripes will oomrose the squadron Sn the Pacific.

SHERWOOD
A SUICIDE

PARkERsBURG, Nov. 2O.-A re,
ward OF sG5 has been offered by Mrs.
Charles A. Sherwood for the recovery
OF the body Of her husband. WHO So
mysteriously disappeared last Thurs.

The present supposition is that
Sherwood drowned himself in the
kanawha river. This belief Is based
on the clues which have up to the
present time been discovered.
This morning another thorough
search OF the river is to be made.
Besides the local police, who were
lending every effort. Captain ]. R. Me.

ton. AT a point near the Parkersburg
MIL Company, ut the Little Kanawha
transfer, he discovered tracks leading
down to n Of the RATS OF the com.
pany. Further Investigation failed to
disclose tracks leading from the water.
While Captain Mehen was conducting
his investigation two men came down
the river in a skin. He slgnaled to
them to come nearer and then direct.
ed that they keep a sharp lookout for
the body of a drowned man.
One of those In the skin then told OF
finding a hat on one OF the RATS last
Friday morning. The hat was given
TO Captain Mehen, who at once tool;

identified 1t as the hat of the missing
man. The hat was then taken 10 Mrs.
Sherwood, who, on seeing it. fell in u

The unfortunate woman related to
Captain Mcllen that she had only n

Last night the search of the river
was begun aud will be completed to.
day. The river will be dragged with

For weak, worn.out, over-worked won.
cn-no matter what has caused tho
breakdown, rFavorite Prescriptionp
will be found most effective in building
up the strength, regulating the womanly
functions, subduing pain and bringing
about a healthy, strong, vigorous con-
dition ofthe whole system.
DR.. Pierce believes that our American
forests abound in most valuable medi-
cinal roots for the cure OF most OF our
obstinate and most fatal diseases, II We
would properly investigate them; and,
in confirmation OF this firm conviction,
he points with pride to the almost mar
vetous cures effected by his ~GoIden
Medical Discovery" which has proven
itself to be the most efficient stomach
tonic, liver iDvigorator, heart tonic and
regulator, and blood cleanser known to
medical science. Not less marvellous,
in the unparalleled cures il is constantly
making of woman's many peculiar affec-
tons, weakness and distressing derange-
ments, is DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton, as is amply attested by thousands
OF unsolicited testimonials contributed
by grateful patients who have been
cured by it OF leucorrhea, painful
periods, irregularities, prolapsas and
other dlsplacements, liberation OF uterus
and kindred affections, often after many
other advertised medicines had failed.
Both these world-iamed medicines
are wholly made up from the glyceric
extracts OF native, medicinal roots,
found in our American forests. The
processes employed in their mann-
facturc were original with DR.. Pierce,
and they are carried on b. skilled chem
ISIS and pharmacists with the aid of
apparatus and appliances speciaIiy
designed and built for this purpose.
Both medicines are entirely free IRON
alcohol and all other harmful, habit
forming drugs. What is said OF ;i.eir
power to cure the several diseases for
which they are 3dvised may be easily
learned by sending your name aud
address to DR.. Il. V. Pierce, Buffalo,
n. y, for a little booklet which he i.ss
compiled, containing copious cxtsarts
from numerous standard medical hooks,
which are consulted as authorities by

DR.. Pierce's medicines, however, form
a single and therefore striking exception
TO the above rule. Their claim to the
confidence OF inralids does not rest
solely upon their owners and makers
say-so or praise. Their ingredients are
matters Of public knowledge, being
printed on each separate bottle-wrap-
per. Thus invalid sufferers are taken
into DR.. Pierce's full confidence. Scores
OF leading medical men have written
enough TO Gil volumes in praise OF the
curative value OF the several ingredients
entering into these we'll known med
icines.
In favor OF Dr.. Pierce's medicines is
the frank, coniiding, open, honest state
ment OF their full composition, giving
every ingredient in plain English, with
out fear Of successful criticism and with
confidence that the good sense OF the
afflicted will lead them to appreciate
this honorable manner OF coRfding 10
them what they are taking into their
stomachs when making use OF these
medicines.
WHAT THEY CURE. People often
ask rWhat do Dr.. Pierce's two leading
hiCuISlico- oOlutIl NleulChl blsCONeTy

Briefly, the answer is that wGoldcn
Medical Discovery is q most potent NJ

ably in q curative way upon all the
mucous lining @snriaecs, as OF the nasal
passages, throat, bronchial tubes, stom-
ach, bowels and bladder curing a large
percentage OF catarrhal cases whether
the disease affects the nasal passages,
the throat, laryux, bronehia, stomach
las catarrhal ~dyspepsia), bowels las
mucous diarrhea}, bladder, uterus or
other pelvic organs. Even in the chronic
or Lucrative stages OF these affections,
it is generally successful in affecting
cures. In fact the "Gofden Medical
Discovery is without doubt, the most
successful constitutional remedy for all
forms Of catarrhal diseases known 10
modern medical science. In Chronic
Nasal Catarrh DR.. Sage's Catarrh Rem
edy fluid should be used for washing
and cleansing out the nasal passages
while taking the vDiscovery" for its
blood cleansing and specific, healing
effects upon the mucous lining mem
branes. This combined local and gen.
eral treatment will cure o very large
percentage OF the worst cases OF chronic
nasal catarrh, no matter OF how many
years standing they may be.
As to the nFayorite Prescription" it
is advised for the cure of one class OF
diseases only-those weaknesses, de-
rangements and irregularities peculiar
to women. 1t is o powerful, yet gently
acting, invigorating tonic and nervine.
