Campbell's Vote On Gas.

State Senator Jake Fisher, of Brnx-
ton county was a business Wis
itor in the city yesterday, having
come here to appear ON an i'm
portant suit in Judge Dayton's court.
He made call to the Statesman and
while here was asked concerning the
reported opposition of Senator Camp
bell to the taxation of gas.
He said that on at least two occa-
sions since his service with Senator
Campbell the senator had proposed q
reasonable tax, in the Aature Of pro-
duction tax on coal, oil and gas. That
Senator Campbelfs attitude on the
question of production taxation was
well understood by people in the Sec
tiens where these articles are produced
and that he was known to favor the
principle of such tax. Senator Camp
bell however believes in the applica-
ton of the principle to all three Of these
products and in common with many
good men did not favor singing cut
any one of these interests and making
it target for the attack OF any ether
interest. The Railroad lobby favors
taxing gas and one of their attorneys,
who by the way is q very genial sena-
tor, proposed tax of five cents per
thousand put ON gas. This was in fact
retaliatory proceeding meant to IA
vor some interest This tax was also
prohibitory. In any section the gas in
terests would have had to pay it, but
ia many cities the tax would have
been greater than the tax fixed for gas
to manufacturers. / recall Senator
rampbelps objection was the amount
Of such tax, and also that such tax
would result in the failure of q projec
of some of our business men to ron
gas mains east, carrying this product to
at least three, Morgan Berkeley and
Jefferson counties in the Senators
District. The coal men and railroads do
not want this main, because they know
the people would get full AM light
much cheaper than at present and the
service would be better.
1t would therefore do away with the
use of much coal and the coal compa-
MES and railroads would be losers, be-
cause there would be less coal to haul
and sell. For this reason, the railroads,
coal people and their attorneys oppose
Senator Campbell's denomination. The
Senator's position was eminently prop
err, considering the welfare of his con-
stituency. His people deserve natural
gas, as do all West Virginians. They
cannot get it with tax of five cents
per Thousand feet. In fact such tax
would cut you out entirely and Senator
Campbell so expressed himself in the
Senate.
/ make this statement as reply TO
your question, not intending to dis
credit any democrat, but in view of the
fact that certain prominent railroad
attorneys are urging these matters
against Senator Campbell, common
justice would require that the public
have the facts.

OUT OF POLITICS.

That is What Prof. Bateman Tells News
paper Reporter.
The Express learns from an authorl-
tative source that Mr.. Hearst is very
anxious that L. G. Bateman of Auburn
act as his organizer in Maine. If Mr..
Bateman would consent to do this work
he can name his own salary. Mr..
Hearst does not let money stand in his
way when he desires to engage a man
whom he thinks can bring about re-
suits. Mr.. Bateman will not accept
the place. He is engaged in other work
and does not care to enter the excite
ment incident to an aggressive politl-
cal campaign. He has done his part of
that kind Of warfare and is not to be
blamed if he now shrinks from getting
into it again. Thousands of people in
the State remember when Mr.. Bateman
was in the heat of the politics of the
State. He was several times candl-
date of the Populist party for congress
man and governor, and he added a
picturesque feature to the campaigns.
Mr.. Bateman is one of the best public
speakers in Maine and when he spoke
he was always certain to have a large
audience. In the first Bryan campaign
he was very prominent. He tells the
Express that he is now out of politics.
Those who know him understand that
he may be in the fray at any time. 1t
is about as impossible for him to keep
out of the political field as it is for the
old salt to desert the sea.-Portland

Dyspepsia should not be neglected for by
depriving the body of its proper nourish-
ment it grows steadily worse. Neither
stimulating medicines, which ruin the al
ready weak stomach by making it work be-
yond its strength, should be used, nor pre-
digested foods, which do not excite a flow
of the digestive fluids and by dis4se cause
the stomach to become weaker. Nowhere
is the tonic treatment with DR.. Williams
pink Pills more clearly useful. Its principle
is to enable the stomach to do its own work
by building up the blood and giving tone to
the nerves. When these are once more re-
stored to their normal health dyspepsia dis
appears and the cure is permanent.

perimented with doctors and many kinds

finally urged by a friend to Try Dr. Wll-
liams' Pink Pills and after taking few
boxes was restored to health. He says:
"Thirteen years ago began to have stom-
ach trouble which came on me gradually.

there was ball of fire in it. My appetite

"The doctors medicine and all other
medicines that tried did not give me per-
manent relief and gave up hope of getting
well. My stomach was almost worn out

advice of "a fl lend and the use of a few boxes

FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN

The chief product of Cuba is revolu-
tions. They are going to have another
next wear. or whenever the American
troops are withdrawn.
After about two weeks spent in Cuba
we left there for Knights Key, Fla.
crossing the Gulf Stream, which was
not pleasant, landing on small island
good ways south of the mainland OF
Florida. A new railroad has been built
on these islands, a good deal of it right
over the water. The islands are called
keys and it is proposed to have the rail
road extend as far as Key West. 1t
lacks some forty miles yet to be built,
| but is wonderful piece of engineering.
We reached Knights Key in the NOM
| ing and by three O'Clock in the even
ing we were at Miami, the most south
| ern city on the Florida mainland. We
| found it very pleasant, and while we
intended to stay only a day we did stay
eight, and enjoyed every minute OF it.
From there, we went to West Palm
Beach. where we spent two pleasant
days, and then we journeyed farther
I north to Seahreeze, spending some two
weeks there and going surf bathing
| every day in the ocean.
Later we went to st. Augustine and
saw the oldest city in the United States.
Somebody told me that its population
was $500 and growing rapidly. L told
them that it must be growing rapidly,
because it had only taken about $50
years to get up to $500. From st. Au-
gustine, we went to Jacksonville, where
we found a nice cosmopolitan city or
about go, 900 and extremely prosperous.
From Jacksonville, we Journeyed to
Atlanta, Ga, and spent few pleasant
days there. From there we went to
Chattanooga and visited Lookout
Mountain and took in the city general
lv. Then we went to Cincinnati, where
we spent several delightful days in
sightseeing, and from Cincinnati to
Chicago, and all this time we had not
travelled on the train single night ex-
cept the two nights we spent on the
train going from Sioux City to Mobile.
From Chicago we came home, and
were more than delighted to get back
to Gods country. My health was very
greatly improved and I feel stronger
than l did year ago. The business in
the office has gotten along rather bet
ter during my absence than 1t does
when l am here, so the company will
probably pay me salary all the time
to keep away.
AS matter of fact, l went away for
a rest and change, with the usual result
following, that the bell boys got the
change and the landlords and railroads
got the rest. However, am working
plenty hard now and feeling good.
Please let me have good long letter
from you. With love to you and the
family, am
Yours very truly,
