It is impossible for the system
to withstand the demands made
upon it just at this season, with
out the assistance of a good puri
fying and strengthening tonic.
The changes which Nature decrees
shall take place each spring are
so severe that a breakdown is
almost sure to come. It is wise
that all possible assistance be
given during this period, as upon
this purifying process depends the
health for the entire summer.
Everybody just now should take a
thorough course of Swift's Specific
S.S.S.rfL Blood
which thoroughly cleanses the
blood of all the accumulated im
purities, tones up and strengthens
the entire system, and aids Nature
in renovating and renewing the
body so as to render it healthy and
strong. Those who purify their
blood with S. S. S. at this season
are well fortified against the many
forms of disease so prevalent dur
ing the dreaded heated term, for
it has been demonstrated that the
system that is thoroughly purified
in the spring is well prepared to
resist disease jUI summer.
No other remedy on the market
is equal to Swift's Specific as a
spring medicine, because it is the
only purely vegetable blood rem
edy and is guaranteed absolutely
free from potash, mercury and all
other minerals. It cleanses, puri
fies, builds up and strengthens.
Insist on S. S. S., for there is noth
ing half as good.
RECEIVER APPOINTED.
For the Bellman. H'ntson. Rernheimer
properly, so fhe Court I)rci<lf?.
A receiver will be appointed by
the United States court for the
property of the assigned firm of
Bettman, Watsou & Bernheimer.
This decision was announced by
Judge Jackson from he bench this
m irning.
Tne discussion on the points
raided in the suit of Watson vs
B'ocmingdale, assignee, and others,
the points referred to bdnt; the
question ol jurisdiction ai.d A ic ap
puintnit-nt of a p rmaceut receiver,
was prolific of many arguments of
interesting law proposition*. All
of yesterday these questions were
argued. A part of this morning
was consumed in the same way, till
the court announced that he would
hold jurisdiction and appoint a re
ceiver, then the discussion was
changed on to th'.* personnel of the
receiver.
After being beaten upon the
jurisdiction and receiver matter,
the defendants contended for the
appointment of Bloomingdale, pre
senting the highest written recom
mendation of his competency, in
tegrity and honesty.
The attorneys for Watson stren
uously opposed Bloomingdale's se
lection, claming that he was ac
quainted with the oil business, was
i also an alleged heavy creditor and
^^vas not a party "indifferent" to the
?ite rests of both sides.
f > B\ll the morning the attornevs
P^angled over who the receiver
' should he. but they could not agree
'upon any one person for the re
sponsible place. The court inti
mated that if was evident he would
have to take tfce matter of a selec
tion out of the attorneys hands, as
they could not agree, and appoint
some one whom he thought ccmpe
tent. He intimated that it would
be a Parkersburg man acquainted
with the oil business.
At the time of going to press the
receive* had not beea named.

REAR ADMIRAL SAMPSON,
William T. Sampson, acting rear admiral in command of the North At*
lantic squadron, was president of the JUaine court of inquiry. He was bom in
Palmyra, N. Y., about 56 years ago and was a poor boy, but brains and hard
work have placed him where he is today, the most conspicuous figure in the
United States navy.
A BOILER LET ?<>
Kettiiltiiijc in the Death or a Father
and Hi* Non.
By the explosion of the boiler at
the No. 22 Forest Oil company's
well near Primrose on Monday
evening Roy Goe, 13 year old son
of Robert Goe, was killed outright
and the father having both legs
broken, was at once taken to a
Pittsburg hospital where he also
died through the effects of his in
juries the next day.
Mr. Joseph Brown, of this place,
being an eye witness to the sad
casualty says the explosion was
terrible to behold the boiler being
j hurled many feet in the air and
landed some hundreds of yards dis
tance from the sad accident. Im
mediately thereafter, rushing hast
ily to the scene of the occurrance
he found the boy dead, with his
brains scattered here and there
amid the general debris occassioned
by the wreck and when reaching
the father, found him to be alive,
but seemingly badly injured.
Those acquainted with the fami
ly say, since the death of his wife
sometime ago, the family had be
come very scattered, tbe old man
ai d als son living moit of the time
the wayward life of a tramp; and
were temporarily lodging, as it
m'ght be said at this well, No. 22.
Si^uiy bcioie the explosion the
boy was seen cooking some
thing over a gas jet and the
father informed Mr. Brown that the
explosion occurred while he was
regulating the jet. However, as
William McCarreny, who had
charge of the boiler, had seen it a
few minutes previous, when there
was 66 pounds steam pressure, it
would seem that in some way or
other the boy or father must have
interfered with the gas supply and
thus caused the explosion.
Coroner Fitzpatrick held an in
quest oves the remains of the bov ;
the jury summoned being com
posed of W. W. Stewart, S. W.
Ralston, Justus Giffin, Joseph Arm
strong, C. R. Potter and J. C. Har
per. The verdict was that the boy
came to his death by the explosion
of an oil well boilei; cause of the ex
plosion unknown. ? McDonald

5few (iroctry Firm.
This a'ternoon G. B. Sleinaker
sold his grocery store to G. B.
Stealey and C. H. Carpenter, who
will continue the business at the
old stand under the firm name of
Stealey & Carpenter. The firm
took charge of the business this
afternoon. The new owners are
both active, energetic young men
and will no doubt make a success
at the business.
Death of Jnmen Witten.
James Witten, aged 81 years,
died from paralysis at his home
near Sardis. Tuesday evening of
last week. Mr. Witten had been a
suffertr from partial paralysis for
several years. He leaves a wife
and five children. Mr. Witten died
within sight of the place where he
was born. He was a brother of
Mrs. James R. Morris, of Woods
field, and a brother of Jere Witten,
of Witten, who died on Saturday
preceding.? -Spirit of Democracy.
The anti-Dovenor delegates from
this county are home, and they
solemnly dc clare, so help them Jonn
Rodgers, they will not support
Capt. Dovenor for congress. This
will be very sad. We want to enter
a protest right now. If O. W. O.
Hardman and his crowd want to
note for the democratic nominee
for congress they can do so, but if
they intend to flop clear over and
come out as democrats, we posi
tively object in the name of the
good and worthy democrats of this
county. The democrats have no
use for the gang.
The plum for the county in the
congressional convention which
met yesterday was the appointing
of the member of the congressional
(committeeman, and our dear old
fiiend, Oliver Ilardman, pocketed
the plum and then walked out of
the convention. Some people may
think there are flies on Oliver, but
they are mist\ken.
Wool continues dull with 110
indications of a rise in price, says
the Bellaire Independent. This
will explain to our readers just
why tli2 republican newspapers are
not writing beautiful editotials on
the subject of the tariff raising the
price of wool.
Judging from the editorials now
appearing in the Oil City Derrick,
we believe that Brother Boyle is
making preparation to make his
semi-annual apology and eat his
semi-annual dish of very dirty
crow.
As usual our friend Hardman
made a monumental ass of himself
in the convention at Wheeling yes
terday. We don't seem to be able
to learn this man anything in spite
of all the attention we give him.
Persons troubled with diarrhoea
will be interested in the experience
of Mr. W. M. Bush, clerk of Hotel
Dorrance, Providence, R. I. He
says: "For several years I have
been a constant sufferer from di
arrhoea, the frequent attacks com
pletely prostrating me and render
ing me unfit for my duties at this
hotel. About two years ago a trav
eling salesman kindly gave me a
small bottle of Chamberlain's Choi
era, Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy.
Much to my surprise and delight
its effects were immediate. When
ever I felt symptoms of the disease
I would fortify myself against the
attack with a few doses of this val
uable remedy. The result has been
very satisfactory and almost com
plete relief for the affliction." For
