Judge Edwards Making Fine pression at Initial Term. Were Reed Smoot, the Mormon S ator from Utah, a Democrat would be promptly fired from the Uni ted State© Senate. The' republicans, however, are carrying out the trade they made with the (Mkmnon hierarchy to get control of Utah, and Smoot is not to be smitten. Tint vote stood on his expulsion 28 for and 42 against him. two Democrat8 voting for and nine republicans against him. All the other Democrats voted against him. while all other republicans voted to keep him in the Senate. lion. Price Edwards, the newly elec tod Judge of this circuit, convened Polk Superior Court promptly on time Monday morning, and is making an excellent impression as a well-quall- flod and business-like wearer of the judicial enmlne. His charge to the Grand Jury was clear and succinct, and was most highly complimented by a large gathering of Polk county cit'aens. Judge Ed wauls is a polish d gen tleman, and' possesses u most pleas ing address. iHe has started outoi what seems to b? a splendid Judicial career. Both Judge Edwards and Solicitor General W.K. Fielder are receiving hearty congratulations on Uieir well- deserved election. Sheriff J. E. Dempsey and Deputy F. Carmichael and Clerks D. L Roberts and J. J. Simpson are lr their accustomed places, keeping up their record© as good officials. The Grand Jury organized by- election of Mr. C. A. Wood as fore man and Mr. J. R. Barber as clerk, with Mr. B. H. Leonard as bailiff. r. Peter Hackney is serving special bailiff for the Solicitor Gen eral’s office. The business of court is jfTOgress ing smoothly, and the Grand Jury is keeping a corps of bailiffs on th move in subpoena service. That John D. Rockefeller is one of the richest men in the world seoms to be clearly established by a recent utterance of his business agent, F. T Gates. He puts Rockefeller's! wealth at $300,000,000. with an annual in come of $20,000,000. This means that his daily income is $54,840. Every’ hour of the day he is $2,285 richer, while each minute adds $38.08 tp his fortune. And every tick of the watch brings him 63 cents by the second. No such fortune could be legitimately accumulated in a lifetime, and such gigantic wealth In one man's hands means that thousands have suffered losses in many ways while one has thus acqu'red ill-gotten ga'ns. ‘ENDLESS PRAYER ’CHAIN.” The “Endle-s Prayer' Chain.”which has been very much in evidence over country for some months past,ha» finally showed up in Csdartown. It is In tlie form of a letter, and reads as follows: — 0 Lord Jesus, we implore Thee, eterual God, to have mercy on all mankind. Keep us from all sin by Thy precious blood, and take us to be with Thee eternally. Amen. “This prayer was sent by Bishop inwrence, 1t is said, recommending it to be sent to nine other persons. He who will not write it will be af flicted by some ill fortune. One per son who paid no attention to it mot with a horrible accident. He |who will write this prayer nine days und send it to nine different persons, comm cue ing on tlie day it is received and writing it only once each day, will after the ninth day experience some great Joy. At Jerusalem during the Holy Feast, it was said that he who would write this prayer would be de livered from calamity. Please* don't break this chain.” The receipt of this anonymous 'let ter has greatly woirlad some ner vous women, ami it is suggested that anyone who feels it his or her duty to s'nd such a communication would do well to sign their names thereto. represent the material defense of the home, n bulwark of love’s forethought standing strong and firm in the hour of need.—Wm.

There is one problem that domi nates the home, an obtrusive, per vasive problem that ofttlmes fills the whole horizon of life, one that—like Banquo's ghost—will not down; it is the ever present question of home financing. When we have mastered the “to have,” the problem of the “to hold” confronts us. It is the question of providing for the home which can never be properly an swered until we realize that “pro vide” is a verb that should ever be conjugated in two tenv.es—present and future. There is in our American life, too ofton, a blind optimism in living up to an income, in assuming that be cause the sun of prosperity shines warmly today there is no need of pro viding umbrellas for a possibly rainy tomorrow. Those who wisely live within an income rarely have face the problem of trying to live without one. There are two simple guaranties against future poverty and dependence on! others, two great safe guards for home and family—a bank book and an Insurance policy. They Measles are raging in Coilard Val ley, but are doing no serious damage. Washington'4 Birthday was appro priately celebrated by Prof. Gamer's school Friday.

The exercises opened at 10 o’clock, and at noon dinner was announced, and those hungry moitals, under the guidance of Rev. H. H. PopQiam, fortified the inner man most successfully. After a rocess of one hour the exercise© wero resumed, and for two and a half hours the visitors were most delight fully entertained.

A person in order to be healthy must get rid of the waste products (or poisons) of the body. Nature has provided three ways to get rid of them: The Bowels, the Kidneys, ami the pores of the Skin. If the bowels become inactive, that portion of the food which should be thrown off lies in the intestines and decomposes, causing Blood, Nerve. Liver and Kidney Trouble, and closes the pores of the skin, thus creating disease in the entire system. You can quickly relieve and perma nently cure yourself of stubborn Con stipation or distressing Stomach Trouble and perfectly regulate your Kidneys and Liver by taking one dose a day of Drake’s Palmetto Wine, a purely vegetable compound. Any read er of this paper can secure a bottle absolutely free by writing to Drake Co., Wheeling, W. Va.
