There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable.a For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it in curable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney k Co., Toledo. Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken Internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system.

Higher Pay for Judges. Oar representative R. S. Ammerman in the House of Representatives, Tue sday, made a vigorous speech protest ing against the proposed increase of Judges' salaries,which was very wide ly quoted in the newpsapers of the state yesterday. Tho judicial salary increase bill, which adds #207,000 to the salaries of the Judges of the various courts of tho Commonwealth, passed tho Houso hy a vote of 123 to 51. Tho measure, which was introduced by Representa tive Moore of Philadelphia,was vigor ously opposed at every stage of its transit; its final passage was accom plished only after a two-hours' de bato. Representative R. S. Ammerman of this county opened the attack witli an exhaustive legal argument to show that tho bill conflicts with the consti tution in that it was designed to in crease the salaries of judges now in commission, who had been elected at a lower rate of pay than is describe in the bill and also because in cutting off the §lO per day for Judges' doing extra service outside their own dis tricts it undertook to require service without compensation. Mr. Ammerman also contended that if the State has any surplus funds to expend it shoald devote them to allev iating the sufferings of its insane wards. There are lO.OOOJepileptics in the State, he [declared, who aro not cared for aud .">OOO inmates of insauo hospitals are without beds. Mr. Moore in defense of tho hill said that Philadelphia judges receive S7OOO, while Judges in New York get $14,000 and Judges in Chicago,sl2,ooo. Mr. Mayne of Loliigh, was against the bill because it does nothing to re strain "tramp" Judges who go about in other districts holding court. The measure provides for an in crease of #I,OOO to tlie salary of the judgeship in this district. The bill now goes to tho Senate, where it is believed that it will pass with greater o;»so than in the House. | AMUSEMENTS. "THE FATAL WEDDING." One of the best comedy dramas of the season, will bo shown in all its glory at the Opera House on Saturday evening. The play lias just finished a successful run in New York City, where tlio press wore unanimous in its praise. It is entirely different from the usual run of plays of this charac ter, inasmuch as it is full of heart in terest and contains a plot that holds the interest of the audience from start to finish. It is a great home play and contains a stroug lesson. The scenic effects are positively elaborate, noth ing like it having over been surpassed in a production of this kind. The scene showing the great Palisades of the Hudson at night, exposing a coun terfeiter's den, is one of the most rea listic scenes ever presented. The cast contains a number of popular favor ites. One of the most important char acters in the play is an eight year old child actress, Jessie, who is truly a marvel. "The Fatal Wedding" is a play that should bo witnessed by every lover of a moral lesson as it is far above any tiling ever shown hereto fore. Miss Parker takes great pleasure in announcing, as a strong addition to her company, Lillian Pierce, Boston's finest reader. Miss Pierce has been an instantaneous "hit" with the pub lic ever since making her debut. We believe we are not exaggerating the truth when we prosent hor as the most accomplished lady reader in this country. So much faith liavo we in hor ability that we have already sign ed a contract witli hor for the season of 1903-04, when wo shall placo her at the head of a company bearing her own name.

The tendency of medical science is towards preventive measures. The best thought of the world is being given to the subject. It is easier and better to prevent than to cure. It has been fully demonstrated that pneumonia, one of the most dangerous diseases that medica men have to contend with, can be pre vented by the use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always results from a cold or from an attack of influenza (grip), and it has been observ ed that this remedy counteracts any tendency of these diseases toward pneu monia. This has been fully proven il. many thousands of cases in which this remedy has been used during the great prevalence of colds and grip in recent years, and can be relied upon with im plicit confidence. Pneumonia often re sults from a slight cold when no danger is apprehended until it is suddenly dis covered that there is fever and difficulty in breathing and pains in the chest, then it is announced that the patient has pneumonia. Be on the safe side and take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as soon as the cold is contracted. It al ways cures. For sale by Panles & Co Druggists. McKinley Literary Society.

TROTTING ON THE BR IEG E ; The County Commissioners are de | terminod that last driving on tho ri.ui | bridge must cease. This is an in j fraction of the rules which proves very ; hard to prevent. Before the bridge was made free, when it was constant i ly under the eye of a toll gate keeper, i few people had the nerve to attempt fast driving. Since it lias passed into j tho hands of tho two counties the big I hoard uaileJ at each end, which for- I bids driving faster than a walk, has ! had but little effect aud one would i think by tho number of people who trot their horses in crossing that the rule is honored more by tho broach than the observance. This is not because attempts have not boon made to prevent fast driving | upon the bridge. Attention has been called to tho matter in the public prints, the watchman has repeatedly stopped offenders, warning them of the penalty attached to fast driving. As a last resort arrests have been j made. Tho Commissioners say that tho j rules from now on will be strictly en forced regardless of uj:ou whom the penalty may fall. If tho methods form erly employed were not adequate to : prevent fast driving then measures | drastic enough to procure the result | will be employed from now on. The rules are violated with such impunity j that those who habitually trot their horses on the bridge are known to ! nearly everybody. The Commission ers have their names and aro only j waiting for additional evidence to make them pay the penalty. That fast driviug is injurious to the bridge no one can doubt who has noticed how it causes the timbers to | spring, imparting a vibratory and swinging motion to the entire struc | ture. Considering the extent to which : the ahuso is carried at present it is (doubtful whether the bridge will last many years. BEYOND A DOUBT.

Va., Feb. 25. At Stauniford City, a small mining town in Raleigh county, about day light this morning, a fight occurred between rioting miners aud a joint posse of State and United States offic ers in which several rioters were kill ed and two fatally injured, and one of the posse killed and one slightly wounded. On Saturday Deputy U. S. Marshal D. W. Cunningham went to Stauniford City to arrest a lot ofmin ers for contempt of disobeying the blanket injunction issued last summer by Federal Judge Keller. Ho was sur rounded by a hundred or more armed men who gave him five minutes to leave the placo. The same day the sheriff of Faloigh county was driven off the ground by the rioters. On Sun day United States Marshal John K. Thompson and S. C. Burdato,attorney for the miners, went to the scene aud '' iund everything quiet, the miners having withdrawn from that neighbor hood, crossing the New river and gone into camp. Emboldened by their suc cess in driving the officers away the miners returned yesterday to Stauni ford and a state of riot was inaugurat ed. Railroad bridges leading from the Piuey Branch of the Chesapeake and Ohio up to the mine opening were de stroyed and the destruction of prop erty was threatened. The guards kept by the coal companies to care for their property were defied and ono of them disarmed aud marched about through the neighborhood in front of a hundred and fifty rioters, all arm d with Win chester rifles. Meantime, Deputy Cun ningham and the sheriff here had not been idle. Cunningham came to this city and got orders to servo the pro cess ho had undertaken to serve at all hazards and to take with him enough men to do it. He got together about 35 picked men and went back yester day to the sceuo of the trouble. There ho was joined by the sheriff with a strong posse and the coal operators al so furnished such trusty men as they had at hand, so all told tl o deputy marshall and sheriff found themselves in command of about 150 armed men at dark last night. This morning at an early hour they proceeded to the place where the riot ers were camped,and surrounded them. The summons to surrender was an swered by a shot and in a moment tlio fight became general. The rioters were well armed, but wore taken by surprise and unable to reply with effect to the deadly fire or the officers. When the fight was over, several of the miners lay dead and two were writhing in mortal agony. One of tho posse, a negro, was killed. Howard C. Smith! who accompanied tho posse, was shot through the legs. The telephone wires are bad on account of tho snow and the names of the dead cannot be learn ed One hundred and twenty-five rioters were arrested and are being tried by United States Judge Beckley.

If the child urin- y ates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it.the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose.

Y , on every bottle NEGLECT AND STARVATION Au infant and a mother, dead from neglect, exposure and starvation is the j story, sad beyond all expression, that came to light within the last few day- ! ill the outskirts ot West Berwick. The ! picture that was drawn in that mis erable hovel in which they lived is one that hardly seems possible, yet he cause of the neglect or pride of the husband—name it what you will—his wife was allowed to die. The dead woman is Mrs. David Herring, and sho together with her husband and two children, lived on Sterling avcuuo below the Fair Grounds, 111 West Berwick. Their homo can be seen from the D. L. & W. 11. R. tracks,and lacks < very com fort that a home should have. Sev eral mouths ago the Herrings moved from near Mainville, and the husband was employed as a stoeker on the No. (? shears in the rolling mill. Ever j since lie moved to Berwick his wife has been sick, and lie has been kept at home, unable to work, waiting upon her. Thus it was that the family purse became exhausted, and yet never a word did the authorities hear of their situation. The neighbors, it i- un derstood, seldom visited them and as their home was oat of the ordinary course of travel, it was thus possible for their condition to pass unnoticed. For weeks Mrs. Herring had been suffering from hemorrhages, and two wocks ago while in a very weak con dition, gave birth to a child. The family was without coal and had scarcely anything in the lious • to eat. During that terribly cold "weather, when the thermometer was far below zero, she was compelled to lay there with nothing to eat, and with no tire in the house. Several days after the child was born, it died, and her hus band, leaving her alone, carri?d it to Mainville and buried it himself. Al though she was starving, and though sho was freezing to death,her husband told 110 one. When neighbors accid entally dropped in Saturday, they found an indescribable sight. Tie- few potatoes which they had wen* frozen 011 the stove. In her room they found Mrs. Herring, lying where she bad been for a week, without any attend ance, change of clothing aud with practically nothing in the house to eat. They immediately furnished coal and provision aud notified the West Berwick overseer of the poor, Chester Marr and W. C. Bond. An order of relief was sworn out before Justice o the Peace Kitchen by George Lauh, Sunday. A collection was taken among the workmen in tin- bar mill of the rolling mill of the American Car & Foundry Company and this was turned over to the family. Medical assistance was summoned, but she was beyond all help and died Monday afternoon at three o'clock. The authorities made an effort to re move her to the hospital, aud drove down with a cab, but found her in a dying condition and it was not thought advisable to have her removed. Sho was thirty-three years of age and is survived by a husband and tsvo young sons, aged nine and eleven years. The body will be buried at Mainville. PROVE ALL THINGS. Danville People Look for Proper Proof. To win a wager an English Marquis stood on London bridge aud offered British sovereigns (|">) for five shilling (ft.25). He could not find a customer. It's not to be wondered at, the public look askance at any proposition where the proposer is apparently a financial loser without any direct or indirect gain. Fraudulent schemers have often been successful, and in these days skep tics want better proof than the word of a stranger. No evidence con be strong er than the testimony of friends and neighbors of people we know. Here is a case of it: Mr. \V. C. Richard. Grocer, living Cor. Iron and Third St., Bloomsbnrg says:"l was taken suddenly with stitches in my back which were so ex cruciating. that I almost fell to the ground. 1 was confined to my bed for over a week and the pain was so intense I corld not rise without assistance.
