WOMAN FINDS ALL HER ENERGY
AND AMBITION SLIPPING AWAY.
Staunton women know how the aches
and pains that come when the kidneys
fail make life burden. Backache,
hip pains, headaches, dizzy spells, dis
tressing urinary troubles, all tell of
sick kidneys and warn you of the
stealthy approach of diabetes, dropsy
and Bright's disease. Doan's Kidney
Pills permanently cure all these dis
orders. Here's proof of it in Staun-
toms woman's words
Mrs. Charles E. Danner, 11a F. Sa-

A Roanoke dispatch says: 1t was
announced last week that the Virgin
ian Railway is clearing the right OF
way for branch line from Rock, w.
Va, TO Pocahontas, Va, distance of
20 miles. Contract for the grading has
been let, and 200 men will, it is said,
be set TO work at once. This will bring
the Virginian into direct competition
with one OF the Norfolk & Westerns
best feeders. 1t appears to have been
the policy OF the late H. H. Rogers to
build his road to the seaboard by the
shortest possible route regardless OF
mountains, valleys, coalfields, leading
cities, or anything else, and then to
construct side lines to the coalfields OF
to any other locality that promised
business.
This, it is estimated, will entail an
expense equal to more than half the
first cost of the main line. However,
it is admitted by those who claim to
be conversant with the situation that
it will place the road in direct touch
with one of the greatest coal areas in
the world. When the branches under
construction and those contemplated
are completed, the Virginian will
reach both the New River and Kama
wha fields, the Raleigh field in the
Winding Gulf, the Boone and Logan
fields, and the great Pocahontas field.

VIII Aid Both Lines.

Charleston, w. Va, June 27.-Bank.
ers and railroad men in Southern cities
interested in the future of the Virgin
ian Railway, the enterprise fathered by
the late Henry II. Bogers, have eX,
pressed the belief that both that sys-
tenn and the Hooking Valley will
profit greatly when pending agree
ments regarding traffic and the con-
struction of bridge over the Kanawha
River at Deepwater, w. Va, the west
ern terminus of the Virginian Railway
have been concluded.
The bridge problem has been one OF
paramount interest, as there has been
dispute as to which road should beaI
the greater proportion of the cost OF
its construction. The matter is in the
hands of three officials for final adjudi-
cation.
The bridge at Deepwater, when con-
structed, will connect the Virginian
road with the Kanawha and Michi-
gan, a subsidiary of the Hooking Val
ley, and if the latter road and the
Kanawha and Michigan should be
lrrevokably separated the status of the
latter would be materially changed.
The final disposition of westbound
traffic Of the Virginian Railway after
its arrival at Deepwater is matter OF
interest to the railroad world, for here
is high class road, costing $4,000 a
mile, which, within the course of a
few years, will have to earn perhaps
SIS, 600 gross mile to be able to pay
the interest on its S333, 600, 900 first mort
gage bonds and other debts

HAPPY CORPORATIONS.

There probably was never such glee
as there is now among the corpora
tions. Their joy is beyond control.
They are uprorously happy.
Why this mirth, this unseemly
mirth? The joy arises because of the
fact that by placing a tax of per cent.
on their net earnings they will all at
once be placed under Federal control,
or certainly under Federal supervision.
The scheme is this--and when we say
''scheme," we use the term advisedly,
because the whole revenue will never
amount to Is million dollars, and there
fore from revenue point was not nee
essary-the scheme, we repeat. has been
worked out by the corporation cabinet
of President Taft, and is deep laid to
put every corporation in the hands OF
the Federal authorities and especially
the Federal courts, thing they have
lOnged for, for some time. The States
have given them trouble, they have
demanded lower passenger and freight
rates on railroads and also that the
great trusts such as the standard oil,
the beef trust, the sugar trust, and
| others be not gived rebates, and other
privileges which destroy competition.
But the Federal authorities headed now
by Mr.. Taft who, with an entire cOrpo-
ration cabinet, unless it be Secretary
Wilson, who is soon to retire, have
been the guardian angels of the corpo-
ratiOns, and this new scheme of 2 per
centum tax has originated right in the
White House, and is called the Taft OR
the administration measure. The thing
has brought joy unprecedented. Who
ever heard of set of fellows being
over joyed at taxation before? Who
would have heard it now save for the
fact that they thereby obtain change
of venue? The States will so far lose
control that in the case of a railway for
instance we will no doubt soon see a
suit brought in Staunton say for the
award of damages possibly for the
most negligent handling of trains in
which a dozen women and children
might be killed, removed at once
into the Federal court. Why you may
ask can this be done any sooner now
than heretofore? Because the govern
ment is interested in the s'net" reve-
nue. 1t gets 2 per cent. of it. 1t must
therefore see that this net revenue is
not deprecated by improper verdicts,
malicious litigation, or unjust prose-
cutlons. Our courts will be poWerIess,
our legislatures the same. Happy
corporations.

As To Mud-Slinging.

Some of the friends of Judge Mann
say he has not slung mud. Others ad-
NIT that he has. but say he is justified
in the singing. They should get to-
gether.
On the other hand, friends of Mr..
Tucker "point with pride" to the fact
that those who accuse the Valley can
didate of mud-slinging content them
selves with general statements, and do
not specifically say wherein he is
guilty.
In the editorial preceding this the
Southside Sentinel says Judge Mann
deserves praise for refraining from
mud-slinging. The Bristol Herald
Courier, also Mann paper, says that
Ga large majority of the people doubt
less understand that Judge Mann has
been forced to adopt method of cam
paigning that he does not approve, and
they will not hold him responsible for
it," From candidate who is credited
with championing great moral cause
one would not expect retaliation in
kind even if his opponent were actual
ly guilty of mud-slinging. Rather, he
would be expected to maintain his own
high standard, for one mans sin does
not justify another man in SHINING.
Anxiety to win might influence some
men to eight the devil with fire." but
that is not an accepted moral precept.
Some papers say Mr.. Tucker is not
singing mud, but is discussing Judge
Mann's official record. For instance,
the Valley Virginian, published at
Waynesboro, reporting Mr.. fuckers
speech there last week, says ''it was
freely admitted by Mann men who
heard the speech that there was no
mud-slinging; only fair criticism and
discussion of the records" Again, the
Marion News, reporting Mr.. Tucker IS
speech at Marion, says that che GER
tainly punctured the judges record at
many points, but he did it in clean
and clever manner"
Possibly fuckers mud-slinging ex-
lists only in the imagination of some
who can't answer Mr.. fuckers Iegiti.

IN THE FAMOUS ALPINE PASS
PROVOST TELLS OF LIFE IN THE HOS
PICE OF ST. BERNARD

PROVOST TELLS OF LIFE IN THE HOS
PICE OF ST. BERNARD.
AT the recent Eucharistic Congress
held in London the provost of the
world famous hospice of st. Bernard
in the Alps was numbered among the
distinguished visitors. In the course
of an interview the provost, who talked
most Interestingly of the life at the
hospice, said:
"The conditions of the work have
changed within my own memory.
Modern science, which has touched ev-
erything, has not left even the great
pass undsturbed. For 20 years and
more the hospice has been connected
with the valley by telephone. So we
always know when travellers are set
ting out, and we are able to meet them
with the dogs.
"We have Is dogs just now. We
train them ourselves, but they do not
require much training; they seem to
find their way through the snow, how
ever, thick it may be, by instinct, and
they never fail to discover a traveller
whatever depth of snow may cover
him.
'The winter is long and very trying
at first to those who come to us from
the plains. Summer, as we call it, be-
gins in July and ends before September
is far advanced. But perhaps you
would not call it summer at all, because
frequently we have snow storms in
July, though the snow melts, except
in the hollows of the pass, where it
seems to be always.
Sometimes party of tourists will
start from the valley in great heat, the
ladies wearing muslin dresses, and
when they have climbed to the hospice
the snow has been so binding that
they could scarcely find their way.
Even in the summer we have garments
ready for travellers, for one never knows
what the weather may be in the pass,
Though it is smiling summer in the
valley.
"From Septem Der onward we are sur
rounded by snow. Around the build
ing there are often seven or eight feet,
and the drifts sometimes accumulate to
the height of 40 feet. And it is very
cold, generally below zero, in the early
part of the year.
"Many tourists come to us. This
year l think we have welcomed about
3, 600. We do our best to entertain
them, and some of the monks play.
and sing to them. Your King has been
very good to us. 1t was 40 years ago
that he bestowed upon us fine piano,
and in 1875 another was sent to us by
his command. We have a harmonium,
too, which was subcribed for by Eng
lish friends, Gladstone and Manning
among them.
"Of poor travellers we have perhaps
$1,000 in the year. Many of them are
workmen crossing the Alps in search
of work.
"And always" added the provost,
"We have the dead with us to re-
mind us Of our duty to the living.
Those who have perished in attempting
pass are placed in the morgue just as
they died until their friends claim their
remains. But some are never claimed,
and there are perhaps 20 still in the
morgue, which is their only tomb"

BIG DEAL IN COAL LANDS.

A Grafton, w. Va, special says: A
com bination of interests of E. J. Ber-
wind, the coal magnate of Philadelphia
and New York, and of the Jamison
Coal Co. of Plttsburg, has purchased
$500 acres of coal land in the vicinity
of Barrackville, w. Va, at $3.50 per
acre. The coal land had been known
as the property of the Barrackville
Coal Co. and the Philadelphia and
Reading Co. The tract borders on the
city limits OF Fairmont, and includes
the Joliffe farm, and it extends to the
Monongahela river, near Rivesville.
Last week the farm of James E. Coma
way, near Barracksville, and portion
of the tract owned by the Motter heirs
were purchased for an operating site.
The price paid for the Conaway farm
was $25, ZOO. Traffic arrangements have
been made with the B. & 0. Ry., and
the new owners propose beginning OPP
eratiOns at once.

some Famous Women Who Defed
Time.

Under the title of "Evsrgreens" the
Hon. Mrs. Fitzroy Stewart writes an
interesting article for recent
number of the Strand Magazine
"Evergreens, it is well to state, is an
other name for those women who have
retained their charm, their youth and
their beauty to the last and literally de-
fed time. Mrs. Stewart deplores the
fact that tive never now come across
the sweet-faced, smooth-haired, single
women SO well known to our mothers
the typical maiden aunt of the anti
Victorian era; and-sad to say-the
ideal old lady has gone forever, with
her silver hair, neat cap, black dress,
and soft, dignified manners. The old
lady depicted in Whistler's famous
portrait of his mother has ceased to exist
in the social world of 190S" Mrs.
Stewart recites examples of past beau
ties who at ages when their charms
might be expected to have waned en-
shaved men and held them captive.
Cleopatra was forty when Anthony fell
in love with her; Madame Recamier
was seventy when Horace Walpole de-
clared himself amongst her warmest
admirers, and the French actress, De
jazet, was gay and graceful at the same
age. But the most extraordinary eX-
ample OF woman keeping her charms
against the advance Of time is affected
by NinOn de PEnclos, who kept her
radiant beauty after reaching the age
of ninety, "Americans, says Mrs.
Stewart, "also play the game of youth
with splendid success. Anglo-Ameri-
can marriages became the mode in the
seventies, and several ladies who 'cross-
ed the pond in those far-oH' days have
kept ever young and remained social
queens for at least two generations
Among these are ConsueIo, Duchess oi
Manchester, the Hon. Lady Carington
Lady Molesworth, Lady FACET and
Mrs. CORVALLIS West. Queen Alex.
andra is given as the best instance of a
lady long past her prime who has kept
much of her beauty, grace and youth
full fascination. Age is an open secret
with Royal personages, and most peo
pie know that Britain's Queen viii
reach the age of sixty-four ON the 4st O
next December. Yet her perfect fea
lures remain; she is still slender in fig
ure, is bright and alert, and keeps as
keen as ever on many interests anC
amusements. She is still good walk
er, can drive her own motor, is a regu
lar opera gOer, attends balls and par
ties, and is always dressed to perfec
ton. The portraits which accompany
