There is more catarrh In this sec
ton of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
lncurable.. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it a local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with
10 al treatment. pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven ca
tarrh to be a constitutional disease
and therefore requires c Institutional

WILD DOGS THE MOST FEARED
BEASTS IN SOUTH AFRICA

The Wild dogs OF Africa are more
feared b. the native than any other
beasts, for while they are not to be
dignified by the term OF game, they
run in packs and seem to know that
the native is afraid of them. Ma
tive burden-bearers will often take
their chances In passing around a
buffalo herd and Will hardly notice
q lion. but when they hear the howl
OF the wild dogs they drop whatever
they may be balancing on their
heads and take to the trees. There
they are frequently held captive un-
til their cries summon assistance.
crossing the trail OF large game,
The dogs often interfere with the
pursuit At a distance the hunter is
likely TO M stake them for lsopards
or some Of the smaller game. In
tense disgust sOllows the wounding
or a Wild dog, for then, according
10 the ethics OF the chase, the true
sportsman must pursue ald kill the
beast. These dogs are not degen-
crates, but are natural mongrels.
They have low bodies covered with
hair OF coach-dog growth, bushy
!S IS, and powerful jaws.-McClure's
Magazine.

A GOOr sCGGESTION.

Sc - 50 -
The suggestion or rth e. Fa!rfnont
West virgin;an that the govsrnor
appoint Col. Thomaj e. Hodges a
member OF the state board OF con-
troll ought to meet with general IA
vo. Col Hodges is one OF the big.
gest and brain est men in the state,
and his character and fitness cannot
be assa.led.
The West Virglnian has IL on au-
thorlty OF a good Republican friend
that the people OF Morgantown ire
Ipective OF politics are going to ask
Governor Glasscock to appoint Prof.
Thos. h. Hodges as the Democratic
m ~mber OF the state board OF con-
troll. We desire 10 say here that
the appointment would undoubtedly
meet the approval OF good people Of
al parties throughout the state. Prof.
Hodges is a clean, able, Intelligent
man. He would give the minority
party as good representation as any
Democrat who could be named and
no good Republican could take. ex-
ceptlon TO his appointment, We do
not believe IN the principle OF max
Ing tho minority representation a
farce by appointing some weak
kneed. wavering or insurgent polit-
clan, but the very best man to be
found in the minority party ought
to be placed Oh the board. Prof.
Hodges is known to be high-m'nd-
ed, large hearted and free from pre-.
JUDGE. He is fair and considerable
and would work in harmony with
the other members Of the board in
the very Important duties which
would be before them.
Another feature OF the appoint.
ment which would be OF interest u
the fact that Prof. Hodges lives In
Governor Glasscock's home town and
was candidate for the Democratic
nomination for governor. 1t would
be a fitting compliment for the Lew
governor to thus recognize a fellow
townsman an dformer candidate for
the position to which he has been
chosen.
| Again, the state university being
one Of the most important institu-
tons in the state is deserving of rep
resentation on the board and MO
one n either party could be named
who knows more about the states
highest educational institution than
Prof Hodges or who would do more
Tor its upbuildilg and advancement.
We are pleased to hear Prof.
Hodges spoken of for q place on the
board &C ssatrs5l ana slRsersly hope
't will be che pleasure or Governor
Glasscook to appoint him TO the po-
| sition.

MIR. CLEVELAND's BROAD VIEW

In regard to the appointment of
J. Sterling Morton as a member OF
the second Cleveland cabraet, George
+. Parker says in McClure's Maya
zine:
In the tactional divisions N his
tate, Mr.. Morton had actively OBJ
posed Mr.. Cleveland's nomination n
1884, ald had done so with a good
deal of personal bitterness. When
this was presented to the president
as an argument against Morton's ap-
3ontment, he threw the charge aside
with contempt, saying:
I'VE cannot AFFORD, in vhis crisis.

INTO account Under no circumstan-
ces Will / allow them TO influence

KELLEY STATES
 THAT HE FAXED
SAYS THAT HE "LAID DOWN" FOR EXPENSE MONEY-HE WANTS TO MEET SEVERAL LOCAL WREsTLERS.

Bob Reilley,. the celebrity who has ap- peared on several occasions in Birming- ham as an expert exponent of the art of wrestling, has confessed that he aided in pulling off a fake on the people of the Magic City.
 Last night Reiley volunteered the fol- lowing statement:
 After throwing the Young Turk with ease and departing from Birmingham was induced to return and make a second appearance against the defeated man.
 "I came with the intention of wrestling a square match. After my arrival how ever, I was informed that unless I laid down I would not receive expense money. On the other hand it was agreed that if would lay down I would receive my expense money and would be guaranteed a third match with the Turk I carried out my part of the programme and re- ceived my expense money. But the Young Turk has failed to carry out his part of the contract and will not meet me again.
 q can throw the Turk with ease. hereby challenge the Turk, Tom Jones and Bob Luster. and agree to throw the three in the space of an hour"

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Small industries.
I'Iu'I TS he Editor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Every business man and every property owner in the city of Birmingham or sur rounding territory is or should be inter ested in having this district grow into the fullest extent of it's possibilities and within as short period as circumstances will permit.
 There is one policy that can bring this about and only one, and that is the systematic and thorough diversifying of the industrial resources of the district. So long as Birmingham money goes else where for manufactured products that are consumed here or that can be economical E ly made here, just so long will there be heavy handicap on the growth of the city, while as long as Birmingham raw materials are sent to other points for making finished products, just so long is Birmingham impoverishing herself for the enrichment of others.
 The finished products can and should go into every market where enters the raw material and in the one item of pig iron alone if that were done there would remain in Birmingham for it's up- building almost uncountable wealth.
 As proof of this the price on this ma terial ranges from $12 per ton in it's raw state to as high as $50OO per ton on cer- tain lines of finer products, and in the process of transmission from the lower to the higher figure all the agencies and factors that produce expansion and riches are actively brought into service
 It is for this reason that have In the past and do now most earnestly adyo- cate such sentiment here as will raise a million dollars to be used in the estab fishing of new industries for Birmingham and the Birmingham district.
 With that amount of money there can be located here within the next five years more than 100 different industries, which would mean an added population of fully 100, 900 souls. But beyond that there would be brought here and kept here annually a sum ten times this original investment. This is conservative statement and en- tirely within the bounds of reasonable en- deavor to obtain.
 Birmingham Is literally sleeping on un- told wealth that can be and should be hers, but while she sleeps Pittsburg is fastening the chains of trade and traf- fic on the sources of that wealth and after a while those chains may not be broken.
 It Is time for the public-spirited press and people of this city to realize these truths, on which ths future prosperity and growth of Birmingham so much depends and set themselves resolutely to the task of diversifying the industrial interests that naturally belong to her.

AMERICANS CLAIM
 COSTA REGAIN LAND

Washington, February 7.-(Speeial)-A gunboat may have to be sent down to Costa Rea to enforce the claims of two Americans. The matter was brought to the attention of the President yesterday by Representative Underwood of Ala bama, who introduced H. L. Mcconnell of Mobile and z. L. Majors of Birming ham. These two southerners obtained land for large banana plantation in Co., lombia. When the republic of Panama was created from Colombia the land be- came Panama territory, but Costa Riea put in a claim for the land The dispute was submitted to arbitration, resulting in Panamas claim being sustained. But Costa Rica has not yielded to the decision and has stationed troops along the bor- der to enforce it's claims
 The President was told today that the United Fruit company, which has big con sessions in Central America, and runs line of steamers between that section and southern ports is backing Costa Rica with a bond to indemnify that country against possible loss.
 The President asked for written state ment of the trouble and this was sub- mitted.

LIN WILLING TOLOSE SERVICES OF WEAR

sThe congregation of the West End Baptist church is unwilling to accept the resignation of the Rev. Wallace Wear, who has been pastor of the church for the past three years, and an effort will be made to retain him.
 The Rev. MT. Wear tendere/ his resignation as pastor of the West End church on the first Sunday in Janu ary. The regular business meeting of the church was held yesterday and the resignation was considered A resolu- ton was passed asking Mr. Wear to withdraw his resignation, and meet ing of the men of the church will be held this evening at 7:S0 o'clock to fur ther discuss the matter of the pastors resignation. It is understood that every effort will be made to retain the present pastor.
 The Rev. MT. Wear accepted the pas torate of the West End Baptist church on June 1. nearly three years ago. At that time the membership of the churgfi was about 100, and since that time the congregation has grown to about 375 membe CTS. The Sunday school is made up of about 300 regular attendants. In fact every department of the church has grown and the church has become one of the most prominent in the dis trict.
 Approaching the excellent service MT. Wear has given the congregation of the West End church will endeavor to retain him in his present position.
