Delicate, weak, nervous women should
especially shun the use Of alcoholic
medicines which, from their stimulat-
ing and celebrating effects may seem,
for time, to do good, but which from
the inevitable effects of the alcohol in

harm in the long run. Besides they
beget a craving for stimulants which is
most deplorable.

saloon Iisenses in case the matter

such is the case. While it was in

FAD FELL UNDER TuRN TABLE
: AND WAS CRUSHED TO
DEATH.

CLARRsBuRG. March 20.-Rall'
road men on the. fleetwood road ar.
riving here late last night tell Of a
terrible accident which occurred at
centralla Thursday and as the result
Of which John Garrison. aged 10, lost
his life.
At Centralia the railroad company
has a large turn table which is partly
surrounded by a concrete wall. It is
not known how the accident occurred
but when the bow was found he was
pinioned under the table. securely
fastened with no possible chance to
escape.
A north bound freight arriving at
centralla stopped at. the turn tabla
and the trainmen hearing the cries Of
a child began making an investiga-
ton. They found the lad lying on his
back under the table securely fasten,
ed AMI suffering great pain. How to
releasch i'm was then the question.
Finally they secured some tools and
tore away a portion Of the concrete
wall and then turned the table, which
rolled the boy to a place where he
could be taken out.
Upon releasing him an examination
showed that both legs were mashed
almost to pieces. his body crushed in
many places and many bones broken.
The lad was carried to his home,
where he lived but short time.
How the lad fell under the table Is
not known, but friends think that in
either jumping from the wall to the
table or from the table to the wall
he fell and was caught. The boy was
unable to make any explanation
whatever OF the affair.
Several years ago the parents OF
the child died and since then he has
resided with his grandparents.

GOVERNOR DAWSON THINKS THE
FIRST DISTRICT coNGEss-
MAN rs o. K.

WHEELING, March l9.-while In
the city last evening. Governor Daw-
son spoke in a very complimentary
manner regarding the candidacy of
Congressman William P. Hubbard for
reelection. He said:
II support 1 am Justified in saying
something about the situation in the
First congressional district. Mr.. Hub.
bard. who is a candidate for renomina-
ton is a State character and anything
in this district attracts the attention
of the whole State, I am extremely
sorry to see any movement to oppose
his denomination and think that such
movement is not only III advised at
this time, but that IT is bad politics.
The whole State Is interested in men
sent to congress because they are rep
resentatives of the entire state and as
such the people take an interest in
what they do for It. The whole State
knows Mr.. HubDard's high standing
and eminent ability and all were
pledged when he was sent to congress
because they know he was man of
such calibre that he would be power
there
az have known Mr.. Hubbard for a
great many years and he has done 4
great deal for the interests OF the
State. He is one of the most able
parliamentary leaders have ever
known. Back in the SOS was anxious
to see him go to the House of Repre-
sentatives because he was eminently
fitted for the work which devolves
upon a member If congress. I believe
that If he was kept there sufficient
time he would come to the top and be
one of the most eminent leaders in the
lower house of the national congress.
cit IS extremely unfortunate that
movement is on foot to retire him be-
fore he has begun career that prom
Uses so much not only for the First dis
trict which he directly represents. anil
also. the State at large, which he is
largely interested IN, nope the people
OF the first district will all feel as do
and that he will be returned for many
more terms.
Governor Dawson spent the night
at the Mcclure hotel and during the
evening he was called upon by
large number of the local political
leaders and matters of State ami
politics were talked over Informally.
He left this moving for Charleston,
having decided not to make the tria
to the West Liberty Normal school,
which he had Intended. The governor
came here from Moundsville, where he
had been attending a meeting of the
board Of directors OF that institution
for tho past couple of days.

Not a trace Of weapon which might
have done the work could be found,
and at first nothing was noticed that
indicated any other means by which
the man might have met his death.
II was known that no train passed
over that track during the night and
moreover, the absence Of blood on
the ground Indicated that the wounds
had not been caused by a train The
body could not be recognized and
it was several hours before the iden-
tity of the man was proved
Left Home Last Night.
Then a receipt found in the mans
pocket led the officers to the Han
sen home at LOG Harrison street
which the officers found to be va
cant as il the occupants had hurried
ly left the rooms a short time before.
The officers Immediately SGT about
finding Mrs, Hansen and her daugh-
ter, who it was found had gone TO
another daughters yesterday to
spend the night In the meantime
the discovery Of bit Of fuse wrap
ped with kerosene soaked rag near
where the body was found led TO a
further search of the house. aud on
the kitchen table were found tho
remains of the mans preparation FOR
his suicide. Part Of the Iag with
which he had wrapped the fuse was
