TESTED AND PROVEN
There is a Heap of solacc in Being
Able to Depend Upon a Well
Earned Reputation.

For months C1arksburg readers
have seen the constant expression Of
praise for Doan's Kidney Pills. and
read about the good work they have
done in this locality. Not another
remedy ever produced such convincing
proof of merit.
Mrs. E. J. Anderson, $40 Clay ST..
clarksburg, w. Va. says: Il had
kidney complaint for three or four
years and suffered from severe pains
across the small of my back. A kid
ney weakness was also present at all
times. 1t was very hard for me to
perform my housework and whenever
stopped or attempted to pick any
thing up, the pains in my back were
aggravated. at length saw Doan's
Kidney Pills highly advertised for
such troubles and had my husband
procure a box at Wells & Haymakers
drug store. They greatly relieved the
weakness in my back and benefited
me in every way. Statement given
Nov. IS, 1902.
Twice Told Testimony.
On July 5, 1907, Mrs. Anderson con-
hrmed her previous statement, say
ing: II have used Doan's Kidney
Pills on several occasions since pub
licly recommended them and they
have never failed to remove any an
noyance, caused by disordered kid
neys, always keep this remedy on
hand and value It highly"

For a tuberculosis Sanftarium
TO Be Built by a Local
Firm of Contractors.
CONTRACT AWARDED
And the Work Will BE Be
gun at Once on Top of
the Mountains.


Messrs. Elliott and wincheIl, gem
eral building contractors, who are
engaged in erecting the Con building
OF nine stories at a cost of third
of million dollars or more, have
been awarded a contract that prom
ises to reach one million dollars.
These gentlemen have been award
ed the contract to build state tuber-
culosis sanitarium for Pennsylvania
at cresson, Pa. The letting of the
contract was in Philadelphia and Mr..
Winchell of the firm was present this
week, when the bids were opened
and the contract awarded.
The immediate cotract covers the
work to the extent of $25O,OOO but
there is no doubt that the same con-
tractors will complete the work,
which as stated. will cost one mil
lion dollars.
The site of the projected san
itarlum is on the top of the ALLIE
gheny mountains. where Andrew
Carnegie few years ago abandoned
the plan to erect castle. The site
was donated to the state by Mr.. Car
nesie for the purpose OF a sanitarium
for consumptives. It's elevation is
$500 above the sea.
Messrs. Elliott and winchell are to
begin the work at once and the pres
ent contract is to be completed with
in fifteen months. One of them will
superintend the work personally.
The contract was obtained in com
petition with seven or eight bids by
contractors of wide reputation and
that fact speaks highly for the local
firm.
Locally Messrs. Elliott and Win
chell have erected several fine
buildings here besides the Con- sky
scrapr, of which the Empire sky
scraper Is one and the county jail
and sheriff's residence another. The
last two years they also erected largo
buildings in Wheeling and Charles
ton. In the building line, they are
at the top not only in West Virginia
but also in several other states and
the award at Philadelphia adds to
their fame.

A Spelling Lesson.
A few minutes were then devoted TO
a spelling test. County superinten-

was spelled on paper by the teachers
and handed in for correction: Separ-

Great interest was taken in the Inn
promptu spelling test Strange as II
may seem. the superintendent was OBJ
liged to impress continually upon the
minds of the teachers that no aid
should be gotten from one another
on the test.
A committee of three. Arphad Nor
rison, Miss Lucy K. Dawson and Miss
Blanche Steele was appointed by
County Superintendent Ogden to grade
the papers. A report OF the results
is to be sent to the State Supefln-
tendent
After a roll call, the institute was
dismissed for dinner.
Afternoon Session.
The session was opened "Wednesday
afternoon with singing, and talk by
Instructor j. Frank Marsh, on the
subject, school Decoration" Using
two or three framed pictures as ex-
amples, he showed how appropriate
pictures might be really framed ana
tastefully arranged so as to make the
school room beautiful. Mr. Minnichs
talk was simple and direct. and full
of good ideas.
Prof. Taught Speaks.
At the afternoon session short
talk was made by Prof. Thomas w.
Haught. of the West Virginia Wesley
an College. OF Buckhannon. Just as
the higher a building is to be. said
Mr.. Taught. the deeper the founda-
ton must be dug. so the higher stand
ard a teacher Is to reach in his pro-
fesslon, the wider and more thorough
must be his preparation.
A Vocal Duet.
A pleasing departure from the reg
ular program was the rendition of a
vocal duet by Mrs. C. c. Ridenour and
Miss Florence Lynch. The applause
given this number showed thorough
appreciation of the favor by the instr
tute. Mrs Harry stealey played the
accompaniment.
DIR. Snnnich Speaks.
After intermlssion of a few min
utes. another musical number, vocal
solo, was rendered by Miss Blanche
Hursey, which also received much APP
plause. DR.. H. C. Minnlch then adj
dressed the institute on the subject.
Evolution to an Ideal" He took al
an example the life OF Pestalozzl,
Swiss. who conceived the idea Of nor
NAL training for teachers and estab-
llshed the first great normal school,
showing how man, by patient and
lifelong endeavor, may at least reach
an ideal conceived In youth. no mat

Willie and Roy Golden Meet a Horri-

Lying across the railroad tracks, horribly
dismembered by the wheels of several

in Council Bluffs. and she went directly
to that city in search of them. Five min
utes after she had reported her quest to
the Council Bluffs police the mutilated
bodies of the lads were found.
The boys apparently came to their
death while walking along the track, when
they stepped from the west track to the

WHEN MISSISSIPPI WAS LOW
Ancient Mariners of the River Pipe
OFF Lower stages Than
This Year.

Steamboat men who have been con-
tending with low water in the upper Mis-
sissippi river this summer should consult
with the more ancient mariners in the Mis-
sissippi for pointers on the movement Of
boats on low water and then start out TO
restore navigation on the stream.
Captain william Kelly, secretary OF the
Mississippi and Ohio River Pilots society
says this Is the first season since 1856 to
his personal knowledge that steamboats,
have ceased to run during the open season
In the summer OF 1856, Captain Kelly says
he was plotting the steamer, Stella Whipple
when the water was four inches lower than
It Is now. The boat was towing two barges
as lighters coming down the stream, but
got stuck on the crossing at Robinson 8
Rocks, fourteen miles below st. Paul.
Captain Kelly says he waded into the
river ahead OF the boat to locate the best
place to drop the anchor and pull the boat
over the bar. The water was sixteen inches
deep and the best channel was located by
wading, and Captain Kelly returned to the
boat without wetting a stitch OF his cloth
ing.
The method OF pulling the boats over
shoal crossings was to carry the anchor
out in a yawl ahead OF the steamer, drop ii
to the bottom Of the river and pull the boat
over by a line attached to the anchor and
to the capstan on the boat.
When all was ready the passengers were
transferred 10 the barges to tighten the
boat. The run was then made without
difficulty till the next crossing was reached
when the anchor and capstan process OF
pulling the boat over might be repeated.
In the same manner, Captain Kelly says
| he had the misfortune to sink the steamer
Clara Hines at Pigs Eye Rocks, four miles
below ST. Paul, in thirty inches Of water,
but the boat was raised the next day.
Captain Kelly says the boats for the
upper Mississippi river Of today were not
properly built. Commodore Davidson, one
of the most successful steamboat men OF
the upper Mississippi river Of quarter of a
century ago, built two boats of large size
that would carry 300 tons Of freight in
thirty inches of water. Had this model
been followed In building boats they would
have had little trouble in navigating the
upper Mississippi river this summer.-St.
