Among all our original associates,
in the memorable League OF the
Continent in 1774, which first ex-
pressed the sovereign will of Free
Nation in America, he was the only

Sc ctions, but not general throughout

nissary and Mr.. Stanga was blown
from his feet His goods were 'eX-

TO THE PRESIDENT Or THE
UNITED STATES.


The Senate of the United states
respectfully take leave, sir, to express
to YOU their deep regret for the loss
their country has sustained ID the
death of General George Washington.
This event, so distressing to all our
fellow citizens, must be peculiarly
HEAVY to you, who have long peen
associated with him in deeds OF patrl-
.litism. Permit US, sir, to mingle our
tears with yours: on this occasion ~
/, manly to weep. TO lose such
man at such a crisis, is no common
calamity to the world: our country
mourns her Father. The Almighty
Disposer of human events mas TAKEN
from us our greatest Benefactor ana

with reverence to him, who "maketh

With patriotic pride, we review the
life of our Washington, and compare
him with those Of other countries
who have been pre-eminent In 1ame
Ancient and modern names are al.

we are no longer anxious lest mislor

travelled ON to the end of his journey
and carried with him an increas,n
weight of honor; he has deposited

ON THE DEATH OF
GENERAL WASHINGTON.
[BY A YOUNG LADY. ]

WHAT means that goemn drge, that strikes my ear?
w What those mournful sounds snes the Tear
Wbv toll the bells the awful knel of fate!
Ahi-why those sighs that do nv fancy safe!
Where'er turn the general gloom appears,
Those mourning badges fill my soul with Tears;
Harki-Yonder rueful noise!-'tis done!-.tls done!-
The silent tomb invades our WASH1NGTON!-
Must virtues so exalted yield their breath!
Must bright perfection find relief in DEATH
Must mortal greatness fall?-a glorious name?
WHAT then is fiches honour and true fame?
The august chief the father and the FRIEND
The generous patriot-Let the muse commend,
Columbia's glory, and Mount Vernon pride,
There lies enshrn'd with numbers at his side!-
There let the sigh respondent from the breast
Heaye in rich numbers!-let the glowing zest,
Of tears refugent beam with graceful love;
And sable mourning our afliction prove
Ween-kindred morals-weep-n more you'll find,
A man so lust, so pure, SO firm in mind;
Rejoicing Angels, hail the heavenly sage:
Ceiestiaf Shirts greet the wonder of the AGE!-

1T is said that the sheriffs' organization
OF West Virginia has petitioned Governor
GlaSScock to remove from office State
Tax Commissioner Fred o. Blue. The
ground on which they desire to have him
ousted is that he has forced them to use
expensive sets OF books that have been
more or less worthless and too compli-
Gated for practical service. The real rea-
son, however, is that Commissioner Blue
is very alert in preventing the sheriffS
from taking improper fees and commits
slonS and in requiring strict account to
be given. In some counties OF the State,
particularly in the central section, the
sheriffs have been keeping their accounts
very loosely and have divided up many
thousands of dollars of the State and
county money among the politicians.
Large sums have been thus used, and the
commissioner has required restitution to
be made in every case where investiga-
ton has shown deficiency. Some very
sore spots have been developed, but the
taxpayers are finding no fault with the
commissioner for his activity.

ONE thing that decency now loudly de-
mands is the abolition of the whiskey sa-
loon occupying such a prominent place
on the Hagerstown fair grounds. 1t an
offense to every sense of propriety and
an outrage to responsibility. II seems to
have been worse than ever this year.
One man, a resident of Hsgerstown, died
drunk on the grand stand, direct victim
of the curse that destroyed body and soul;
women openly stood without the foul
place and drank without shame from bot
ties carried to them, a sad sight to be
witnessed by children or anybody else;
drunken men could be found lying help
less all about the grounds; some had
crawled into the stalls among the beasts;
others, intoxicated, became offensive null
sances; boys of fifteen or sixteen years
staggered about the place. These are
not exaggerations-such scenes could be
observed by anyone.
The officials have gone far towards re-
forming old methods by abolishing the
gambling games and indecent exhibitions.
The time has surely come when they
must cut out the vile saloon that is such
utter contamination and so out of place
among respectable persons.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There
is only one way TO cure deafness, and
that is by constitutional remedies. Deaf
ness is caused by an inflamed condition
of the mucous lining of the EuStachian
Tube. When this tube is inflamed you
have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when il is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the inflam-
nation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition OF the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case OF Deafness Caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

The alleged elopement to Oakland Md,
some time since OF pretty Miss Stella
Boner and Glen B. Ringer, of ElIenboro,
w. Va, has led to quite complication.
After their return home the mother OF
Miss Boner, becoming suspicious, made
a special trip TO Oakland and failed to dis
cover any record Of the marriage. Now
the girl claims Ringer tricked her and she
was under the impression they had been
married. Not only has she entered suit
for 10000, but the grand jury returned
eight indictments against the supposed
groom.

A LIBERAL OFFER.
We Guarantee to Relieve Dyspepsia.
II We Fail the Medicine Costs
Nothing.

To unquestionably prove to the people
that indigestion and dyspepsia can be
permanently relieved and that Rexall
Dyspepsia Tablets will bring about this
result, we will furnish the medicine abso-
lutely free if it fails to give satisfaction to
any one using it.
The remarkable success of Rexall Dys-
pepsia Tablets is due to the high degree
of scientific skill used in devising their
formula as well as to the care exercised
in their manufacture, whereby the we'll
known properties of BiSmuth- Subnitrate
and Pepsin have been combined with
Carminatives and other agents.
Bismuth-Subnitrate and Pepsin are
constantly employed and recognized by
the entire medical profession as invalus-
Bile in the treatment of indigestion and
dyspepsia.
The Pepsin used in Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets is careful prepared so as to de-
veIope its greatest efficiency. Pepsin
supplies TO the digestive apparatus one
of the most important elements of the d.
gestive fluid. Without it the digestion
and assimilation OF food are impossible.
The CarminativeS possess properties
which aid in relieving the disturbances
and pain caused by undigested food. This
combination of these ingredients makes
remedy invaluable for the complete re-
lief of indigestion and dyspepsia.
We are so certain OF this that we urge
you TO try RexaIl Dyspepsia Tablets on
our own personal guarantee. Three sizes,
25 cents, so cents, and $l.0O. Remem-
Der, you can obtain Rexall Remedies
only at our store-The Rexall Store,

not found wanting in thousands of homes

reliable household remedies, where if is
kept at hand for use in treating cold in
the head just as soon as some member of
the household begins the preliminary
sneezing or snuffing. II gives immedi-
ate relief and day or two's treatment
will put stop to cold which might, if
not checked, become chronic and run
into a bad case OF catarrh.
