at Staffordville Tuesday afternoon. Mrs. Hattie Hatch and Miss Ella Wal bridge, returning from drive with Hiram Rathbun's team, when within Ia few rods of home the horse became unmanageable from striking it's heels against the sleigh runner, and ran, overturning the sleigh and throwing the occupants with great violence against the fence surrounding MT. Chamberlin's front yard. Several persons were almost immediately on the spot, and helped the ladies into their homes near at hand. Drs. Clark and Smith were sent for, and upon examination Mrs. Hatch was found to have a rib fractured and pressed in- ward upon the lungs, causing great pain and difficulty of breathing. Miss Walbridge received severe confusion of the stomach.

Editor Hoag Confesses

"For many years, as Editor and Proprie- tor of the Pine Plains, N. Y., Herald, have advertised Dr. David Kennedy's Fc- vorite Remedy. While enjoyed not only the business relationship but the personal friendship of Dr. Kennedy, have never, until now, paid him long standing obi gation. For many years, as my friends so well know, suffered excrutiating pains from rheumatism. Many were the nights when it was impossible to sleep. Without
 much faith, admit, I tried as sort of last resort, 8 bottle of Dr. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy, just as thousands of others had done before, and like them found perma- nent relief. Favorite Remedy has stood the test of time and believe it is the best medicine in existence for effectually expel- ling the cause of rheumatism-urica acid. My regret is that have neglected to make this frank confession long ago. It makes my Kidneys do their work properly, tones up the liver and makes one feel that life is worth living. Ipublicly and earnestly ad- wise all my friends who are suffering from troubles that arise from unhealthy Kidneys and Liver, to get bottle of Favorite Rem edy at once. There is no use in putting it of as did. V s. T. HOAG, Editor"

Aro;er+ MuraI. Decorations,

It is probable that the earliest wall paintings were those of the Egyptians Those people employed distemper containing dissolved gum. and their principal pigments were white chalk a vegetable yellow. ochers, Ethiopian cinnabar. blue powdered glass stained with copper and charcoal black. The walls of Assyrian and Rabylonian dwellings were treated in much the same way, and the practice of painting on walls coated with plaster was cer- tainly in vogue i'll Assyria. It has been believed that the Greeks understood true fresco work. apparently on the strength of phrase occurring in Plu- tarch. "to paint on wet ground. Vt- truvius also speaks of wet ground and says that colors placed upon d surface so prepared are permanent. which certainly is characteristic or true fresco wOrk.-Harper's.

Castor Oil Is
 Tasteless Now
A Remarkable Step Forward in
 Oil Refining.

Pure, clear castor oil, without taste or smell, is a recent discovery of the house of Spencer Kellogg 6 Sons, re- liners of vegetable oils.
 The Kellogg mills take away the nauseating taste, but remove none of the good properties of castor oil.
 As Kellogg's Tasteless Castor Oil is merely a purified castor oil, it works better than the evil tasting, evil-smell- ing dose of the past, and does not up- set the stomach. Children take it easily.
 Kellogg's Tasteless Castor Oil has been supplied to all druggists, not in bulk, but in neat 25o and 500 bottles. It is necessary to ask for Kellogg's by name, to distinguish it from disguised castor oil, favored with peppermint and other strong essences. The trade marked label bears a green castor leaf, with the signature, Kellogg's.
 Made only by Spencer Kellogg 6 Sons, Inc, Buffalo. N. T., refiners of vegetable oils.

TIME FOR ATeIoN,

II is now time for action. The
West Yirginian has Informed It's
readers on, the water question. The
peoples mindsfare made up one way
or the other, (mostly one way. The
commissioners have ten days from
the time of filing the petition to give
the people time to amend It or re-
ject 1t. They will possibly reject; it
and defy the petitioners and the only
defense the people have is the man
damns or an injunction. "a '1 +
It will take something like hun
dred dollars to bear this legal ex-
pense. The West virginian would
gladly pay Il all but this is not the
fight of the West virginian,, II is the
peoples fight. If the people are not
interested enough to make legal
test Of their rights we do not believe
we are" called upon to do 1t. :.
But we are informed they are in
dead earnest about this and will take
the matter TO tribunal where JUS
tice will be meted out. We are told
by prominent lawyer that there
will be no question of the outcome,
that the people will win. and yester-
day afternoon one man told us he
had secured pledges for thirty dol
lars for the fund, contributions rang
ing from $500 to $1,000. This looks
like business. e',r 10, ID
tits question now of paying
about 500 for defense or $4,000
per year for life as tribute. Which
do you prefer?
Our forefathers told tyranical
England that they had millions for
defense but not one cent for tribi
ute." We believe the same blood
still flows, through the veins
of the people Of Fairmont' and
that they will not only demand but
they will secure their rights and that
a few paltry cents per capita will
not stand in the way of doing it.
Any one wanting to contribute
their mite, or any other amount,
can be placed'in touch with the gen
tleman who has made the start In
the right direction. He might be
made treasurer of the fund. He Is
interested. He is a water buyer"
He is an old citizen of the city. He
Is responsible and any money that
might not be used II thee ommis::
might not be used II the commits
stand will be refunded to the con
tributors. @ ~ .''f
