The extraordinary popularity of fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice Of Starch a matter of great i'm
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals. is the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. Its great strength as stiffener
makes half the usual quantity Of Starch
necessary. with the result of perfect
finish, equal to that when the goods
we're new.

WHEELING. Nov. SHAT the ex.

has been discussed so much for the

a certainty.
Speaking Of the question Of an ex:
ira session Governor Dawson when
asked concerning the matter during
his recent visit here said
II have been considering the matter
OF holding an extra session OF the leg.
islature for some time and 1t is very
probable that 1t will be held. As tho
session II held will begin early in Jan.
uary the time Is getting short and
the matter will have TO be decided
very soon.'
While the principal reason for call
Ing an extra session is said to be for
the purpose OF enacting into the new
tax laws clause limiting the road
taxes ip the various counties, made
necessary by recent court dicislon.
there are several other matters Of
great Importance which may come up.
One Of these matters is the amend.
ment Of the ballot law passed at the
Inst session of the legislature. This
law is admittedly defective and 1t is
feared win lead to great deal of con.
fusion at the coming election.
Another proposition is bill abolish.
ing the fee system in county Offices.
No such opportune time as the pres.
ent will come for twelve years for this
move as the next election will be the
last In that period In which all coun.
ty Offices are filed at the same time.
Therefore the system can be abolished
without etfectlng any men now In OF.
flee. end In sufficient time to warn all
candidates what to expect In the way
OF emoiumcnt. The passage of this
bill Will save the State AMI taxpayers
more than 100000 of money which
now goes into private purses.

They are placed on the rocky side of
