Constable Spoils Their Honey
moon,

From Clarksburg, West Va, comes
the news that the honeymoon of Mr..
ard Mrs. Wilbur Weaver, a young
couple of Richie county, West Va,
has become a rather embarrassing
situation, the bridegroom having been
landed in the Harrison county Jail
Clarksburg, with only six cents in his
pockets, while he faces two warrants
charging him with forging checks for
S7S and S75 on the Cairo Bank, at
Cairo, Richie county. The couple
ran away and were married July 81,
at Oakland, and were found by
officers at Norwood, a suburb of
Clarksburg, where the bridegroom
had gone in the hope of obtaining
work in the glass factory. William
Webb, a constable of Harrisville,
took Weaver to the Richie County
Jail in that city Tuesday. His bride
accompanied them.

HOME MADE CURRENCY
Deceased Premier of Bulgaria Hated By People of His Native Hamlet, Church and Peasants.

Sofia, Bulgaria, July 24.-The little village of Slavovitza, where Premier Stamboulisky was born and where his star set after the battle between regu- lar troops and the yellow guard" on June g, is weary of the notoriety which attaches to its name because of the Stamboulisky incident, and wants it changed. It has petitioned the ministry of the interior to change its designation to Borisovo, in honor of the king. @ ~ ,E.
 Slavovitza Is especially resentful be- cause Stamboulisky, within a month or two of the tragedy in which his life ended, ordered The seizure of a considerable part of its communal land and distributed 1t among gypsies, to induce them to settle down and take up agriculture. An echo of this seizure was heard when Stam bouii-' sky was attacked by villagers, includ- ing people from Slavovitza. t'ne Of the remarks Erected at Stamboulisky in that time was: You have devoured our land; now our land will devour you"
 In their petition to the ministry of the interior, the villagers of Slavo- vitza bitterly attack the fallen pre- miers memory as an enemy of the state, the church and the peasants.

 dangerous of human afflictions it is
 one of the most painful. Those sub
 ject to rheumatism should eat no sweets for awhile. dress as warmly as possible, avoid any undue exposure and above all, drink lots of pure water.
 2 Rheumatism is caused by uric acid or body waste matter, and is often generated in the bowels and absorbed into the blood. It is the function of the kidneys to filter this poison from the blood and cast it out In the urine; the pores of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this impurity. In damp and chilly. cold weather the skin pores are closed. thus forcing the kidneys to do double work; they become weak and slug gish and fail to eliminate this toxic reid. which keeps accommodating and circulating through the system. eventually settling in the joints and muscles. causing stiffness, soreness end pain called rheumatism.
 At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of lad Salts; put a table spoonful in glass of water and drink before breakfast each morning for a week. This is helpful to neu- fralize acidity, remove waste and stimulate the kidneys, thus helping to rid the blood of these rheumatic poisons.
