Under the above quizztcal heading

following conglomeration:

ing IN its beloved West virginian at
Fairmont, the extract being, no doubt
one Of the interesting paragraphs It
lost by not receiving one Of its favor
tie exchanges:
THE Wheeling 1ntelligencer picks
out some Democratic favorites for
places on the State ticket as follows:
"The Parkersburg Sentinel suggests
John Marshall as the Republican can
didate for attorney general. No doubt
the Sentinel would also like to see
John Marshall's pa run for governor
and John Marshall's partner, Mr.. Ke.
fauyer, run or auditors and John Mar.
shalrs employer, Reese Blizzard, run
for Secretary of State, and John Mar
shall's friend, Mcintosh, Of Fayette.
Kanawha, for treasurer. The Sentinel
always did have a sincere desire to
make things as easy as possible for
the Democrats.
at has been but a little while since
the delightful Intelligencer and the
pleasing West ,yirginian were giving
Interesting lessons on the sin of bolt
ing the Republican ticket; is 1t to be
inferred now that they would go back
on their party If the above gentlemen
were its nominees? Is that what they
are counseling?"
In answer to the cherished State
journal the West. virginian has only
this to say that it would be for the whole
DANNY Marshall family If they get
the nomination and It wouldn't knock
on their administration either. A bolt
.er isn't any worse than a knocker in
our estimation. The knocking and
fighting ought to end with the conven.
ton and not go on three or four years
after the election. That is what the
West vlrgtnian has been saying things
against.

THE HUBBARD IDEA.

The Wheeling News hits the nail
squarely on the head in the following
editorial:
"a correspondent for Pittsburg
paper refers to the fact that Con.
gresham W. P. Hubbard mas given
up his law practice and business con-
nections to devote himself to his
work in the House of Representa-.
tives.
"The correspondent might with pro-
priety have gone on to speculate what
a desirable thing It would be ii all rep
resentatives and senators would fol-
low Mr.. Hubbard's example. 1t is
true that Mr.. Hubbard has done all
this, He has given up his private
practice and retirement from active
participancy in his business connec.
lions, even going so far as to resign
the purely formal position of the
presidency of the Pittsburg, Wheeling
and Kentucky railroad. 1t is not be-
cause he did not have the time to
attend to the work, for Mr.. Hubbard
is strong and vigorous, but because
he believes that congressman
should regard his constituents as his
clients to be given his whole time
and attention and That a lawyer can
not properly have the people as his
clients and also serve as special law.
yer for corporations, which deal with
the government There is no rule for.
bidding members Of congress from
pursuing their private practice; 1t is
left for each congressman to decide
according to the dictates Of his own
conscience. 1t requires no argument
to prove the proprlety of the Hubbard
attitude, 1t speaks for itself. Unfor.
tunately, however, there are many
representatives and senators who are
in congress for the sole purpose of
serving the corporations and interests
which employ them. If congress were
made up exclusively of men who be.
lieve in the Hubbard idea, it would
make little difference what their opin-
ions on public questions might be, for
the public would be sure Of square
deal"

Is well known that Nj, Northcott ls

TWENTY PILLS IS
SICK MAN s DOSE
Cannot Read Label and CoIIapses at
Arcade Depot from Heroic
Treatment for Heart
Disease

Impressed with the idea that he was
suffering from heart trouble, Juan
Hernandez, Mexican laborer aged 2S
took twenty pills advertised as a hear
disease cure, where one was prescribed
as Dose and last night he was taken
to the receiving hospital on the verge
of collapse.
Only the most active work on the
part of the police surgeons succeeded
in reviving Hernandez from the death
like stupor produced by the drug.
He suffered the collapse in the Ar
cade depot, where with a number of
other MeXicans he was waiting to take
train to Indio to work on railroad
construction gang. He told the police
surgenos that the heart medicine had
been recommended to him by friend,
who, when Hernandez complained of a
pain, told him he was afflicted with
heart disease.
The Mexican became frightened and
Immediately purchased the remedy.
Not being able to read the directions
for taking, he followed the rule that if
a little does good more will do much
better, and he almost emptied the con-
tents of the package in one dose.

Kiang, necessitating the demolition of
the mat sheds erected to shelter the
thousands who have arrived there in
search of food.
Capt. Kirton reports that 100000 desti-
tute persons have been driven back
toward their homes and that terrible
scenes are being enacted along the line
of retreat. He estimates that quarter
of a million persons are likely to be
doomed at Sing Kiang alone and 100000
at Antung, where small relief works
have been started.
The distress is largely due to lack of
means of communication and the fear
that the Chinese officials must appro-
pirate any work they undertake. bikes
being dilapidated renewed rains are
certain to cause fresh floods. Every
house in the neighborhood of Antung
visited by Capt. Kirton contained dead
bodies or dying persons.
The relief committee which had 150,-l
600 taels at its disposal has instituted
relief work under foreign supervision.
