The fair sex feel very grateful
to the weather man for the de
lightful weather they enjoyed on
Easter.
It is a little too early to be talk
ing about the candidates to be
voted for in November, 1906, but
Harry Woodyard evidently has se
cured a lot of stock in the old say
ing that it is the early bird that
is surest of cacthing the wiggler,
so he announces, indirectly and
entirely without his knowledge,
of course, that he is feeling well
and fit to make another race. If
it must be a republican it ? but it
isn 't going to be any more, so the j
subject, as well as Harry, might
as well be dismissed. ? Parkers
burg Sentinel.
One good law surely was en
acted by the last legislature, by
which the fees of the secretary of
state are required to be collected
and turned into the state treas
ury. For March these fees
amounted to nearly $1500, and it
was not an average month, either.
Probably the fees for the whole
year will amount to $25,000 which
instead of going into the pocket
of the secretary of state with a
superabundance of clerks paid by
the state, will be paid over to the
state for schools and other state
expenses. Sen. Montgomery of
Preston county, is entitled to
much credit for pushing this law
to enactment, notwithstanding
the blandishments and protests of
Sen. Swisher, then secretary of
state-elect, who wished to get
these fees for his private gain.
Tho attempt of certain specula
tors Saturday to corner the mar
ket on wheat in Chicago proved
pretty disastrous. The May op
tion took a straight drop of six
cents. It was the same old story
of an attempt to run a comer fol
lowed by the usual collapse.
Gates and his associates, although
old speculators who ought to
know better, thought they could'
corner the May option and gouge
the country for large profits. It
was easy sailing so far as bulling
the market went by the simple
process of buying up the supply.
The rub came when they had the
wheat and endeavored to realize
on it. The speculators who met
with disaster, however, are de
servable of no sympathy, for the
reason they attempted to wring
unearned profits out of the food
of the people.
One week ago yesterday the po
lice authorities of St. Louis in
augurated a rigid enforcement of
the blue laws of that State. They
closed up drug stores, restaurants,
candy and cigar stores, news
stands, barber shops, saloons and
all other places of business. They
made the city "dry and tight." to
use the terms employed in a de
scription of the situation by a St.
Louis newspaper. According to
the law it is a misdemeanor to per
form on Sunday labor other than
household work and work of char
ity. Similar provisions exist in
the blue laws of other states. The
Pennsylvania laws in addition
would, if enforced, stop all rail
way traffic, including street cars,
preventing even funerals from
passing through the streets. It is
a question, however, whether un
der present conditions such rigid
laws should be enforced. It will
be well for all those who advocate
the enforcement of blue laws to
carefully watch developments in
St. Louis. They may discover
reasons for modifying their pres
ent laws.
Easter Sunday was an ideal day
with the exception the atmos
phere was a little cool in the ear
lier portion. The sun shone bright
and pleasant in the afternoon, and
all nature appeared happy and
contented. Easter, generally
speaking is a feast of beauty. Its
symbols are the opening flowers
that appeal to the eye, the burst
ing song that pleases the ear. For
this reason, flower and song con
spicuously marked the ceremonies
Sunday of observance in thou
sands of churches throughout the
land. Tn no other way can either
flower or song be connected with
the day, except that they are ex
pressive of joy, of gladness, of
praise for the risen Lord. Easter
exisetd before the Bible, before
the advent of the Christ, before
the establishment of the Christian
religion. Thousands of years ago
the Festal day was celebrated by
Eastern Pagans, by African idol
aters. If marked the opening of
spring, the bursting of all nature i
into bloom, the beginning of an
other season of gladness. Merelv
co-incident is the fact that a Pa
gan institution and a Christian
observance fall 011 one and the
same day, but there is this about
it ? the Pagan Easter was mora
sensual than religious, while the
Christian Easter is spiritual and
uplifting toward those ideals that
make mankind better.
Rheumatic Pains
Quickly Relieved.
The excruciating pains charac
teristic of rheumatism and sciatica
are quickly relieved by applying
Chamberlain's Pain Balm. The
jrreat pain relieving power of the
liniment has been the surprise
and delight of thousands of sufTer
ers. The quick relief from pain
which it affords is alone worth
manv times its cost. For s^'e by

The river was rising slowly at
a stage of 12 feet 10 inches at the
Wheeling wharf last night, and

this rise.

heal accidental injuries, use Buck- '
