THE EVILS OF
CONSTIPATION.
Everyone Knows When He is Consti
pated and Everyone Should Know
the Risk He is Running When
He Fails to Promptly
Correct it,
Any Disease Epidemic or Otherwise tc
W hich He or She May be Exposed
is Sure to Result Seriously.
There are two ways to remove consti
pation; the wrong way is to drench the
bowels with a powerful, griping, drastic
cathartic that injures the coating of the
bowel channels and produces an early
return of the trouble in a more chronic
form. The right way is to use a natural,
easy and mild laxative that tones up and
strengthens the bowels and leaves a
healthful influence behind it. Prickly
Ash Bitters will empty the bowels just
as thoroughly as the harsher cathartics,
and combines all the tonic and strength
ening properties necessary to perma
nently cure the habit.
Accept no substitute. Insist, on having
the genuine Prickly Ash Hitter.- v. 111 the

ENDORSES STOCK LAW.
Visitor to Newport Commends Council
and Suggests Next Move to Rid City
of Surplus Canines.
Baltimore, March 23, 1906.
My dear Mr. Editor:
Being a reader of your very
interesting paper every day and
enjoying very much the informa
tion given as to the improve
ments of your little city, which
I have been a visitor to at vari
ous times in the past ten years.
I would like to say through the
columns of the Independent that
if I were a resident of Newport
I would hail with delight the or
dinance passed by the city coun
cil as to “the running at large
of all kinds of stock on the
streets,” and would also ask at
the next meeting that the ever
j present canine be “sat upon,”
j as I am quite, sure there are
I more dogs to the square inch in
; Newport—absolutely worthless,
j except to make night hideous—
| than any other town east of the
j beautiful Mt. Magazine.
1 would also like to express my
| delight in seeing the streets
are to be improved. For a West
ern town Newport is a back num
ber in that respect, along with
the sewerage, which to my mind,
it needs more than any improve
ment required. I am quite sure
also the unhealthy odors arising
from some of the so-called gut
ters (which in Maryland we call
ditches) heln to breed the ma
■ laria ever present. I do hope
the incoming- councilmen (for as
; a matter of course they will be
i elected) will prove what young
blood and progression can do to
wards making Newport some
thing more than a sleepy hollow,
I and then the ladies may be in
i duced to take an interest and
| have a “society for the preven
; tion of cruelty to animals,”
. which is as much needed as get
ting rid of cows, dogs, ditches
and dreadful streets.
Very truly yours and greatly
interested.
Baltimore.

To the Voters of lacksoii County:
It has been stated that Mr.
Robe. Drummond is not a can
didate for Coroner and it is true
that he is not making any active
campaign, but has agreed to
serve if elected. As it is of the
highest importance to have a re
sponsible man in this position,
and his name does not appear on
the ticket, we respectfully ask
the voters to write his name
upon the ticket for this office.

NOVELTIES IN NAMES,
SOME THAT WILL HOT BE AM
TO GROW COMMON.
Odd Additions to the English Lan
guage Occasionally Heard in.
This Country and Eng
land.
"Mysophobia” is one of the latest ad
ditions to the English language. It Is
the name of a complaint which most
people will recognize. Probably its
commonest name is morbid fastidious
ness. Persons who suffer from myso
phobia, says the London Hour Glass,
become very faddy in their manner.
They are very particular that there is
not even a spot on the tablecloth’s
snowy surface. Every plate and dish
and glass that is brought to them is
eagerly scanned for any trace of dirty
Gngers. Everything must be unsoiled
and immaculate. In the advanced
stage of mysophobia the sufferer is
unable to resist the temptation to wipe
every article that is placed before him.
It does not matter how clean or pure it
may be, the wiping process has to be
gone through.
"Uncinlariasls” is anothr novel com
plaint, or, rather, it is a novel name for
an old complaint. Itis the disease which,
causes the existence, in certain states, of
degenerates known a3 "crackers,” or
"poor whites; ” in fact, it Is the germ of
laziness which has been isolated. In ad'j
vanced stages the sufferer eats clay be
sides being unusually lazy. At one of
the London police courts the magistrate
was sorely amazed by a witness describ
ing the prisoner as a "trance.” It turned
out eventually that a “trance" Is a man
who Is given a lift from the country In *
market cart In return for which he as
sists the cartman to unload. “A dead
liomer” was another curious expression
used in a London police court. The de
tective said It was a well-known expres
eioii useu uy a. person wnen ne coum not
very well free himself from a charg#
which was hanging over his head. In
the cvise in question the charge was that
of stealing lead. It was unfortunate for
the prisoner that he was a “dead
homer.”
A “gawkrodger,” “scrammy," "caggy,**
and a “cuddypaw” are all different Eng
lish names for a left-handed man. But
a “jambiste” is about the latest name.
This came out in a case in which a per
son was sued for lessons given in danc
ing. The defendant denied that he re
ceived any lessons, but said that he sim
ply attended the dancing classes as a
jambiste. A jambiste, it is explained, Is
a young society man who occupies his
leisure hours by acting as an auxiliary
at a school of dancing. He Is there for
the purpose of dancing with any of the
women who are in want of a partner.
It appears that he furnishes bis services
at the dancing school gratuitously. His
hope of reward usually is that he may
meet a rich young heiress at the school,
and be able to marry her.
“E'ectrofannite” is a peculiar kind of
Indisposition produced by the draught
from an electric fan or ventilator.
A “kitchen piano” is a name which
might puzzle a good many people. It ap
peared in a case tried at theCiarkenweil
county court that among furniture mov
ers a wrineer or mangle is invariably
known as a “kitchen piano.”
The “dotter” is an Instrument which
has now been adopted by the admiralty.
By the use of this instrument the firing
accuracy of the weapon is enhanced
greatly. With its aid a gunner has been
able to hit a target at 2.000 yards eight
times with eight shells in one minutrt.
After all. the dotter has a good homely
ring about it.
A terrible new name Is “Thymane
tinoxaethyiacetamidothymol.” It is
highly recommended as a medicament, to >
people who suffer from “nerves.” It has
been foutro, however, that in a few cases
It. fails in its effect, in which case ar. ex
cellent substitute is stared to be Aoety
limidcoxyathyhymol. An excellent
thing for the nerves!
Starting ‘‘Run” on Bank.
While a woman was waiting- to de
posit live dollars in a New England
savings bank she saw a man draw
out $000. She had never before seen
so much money at once, and concluded
that the bank could not stand such a I
heavy dram on its resources She told ;

Kuroki’s Name. i
Several French soldiers, survivors ol
the Chinese expedition of 185$. are re
sponsible for the statement that Gen.
Kuroki is in reality haif French. His
name, they say, is properly spelled
Curique. According to the story ot
these soldiers, a French officer, Cupt.
Curique, while serving in China ia
1S56, married a Japanese girl. A son i
was horn to them, who was given tha j
Japanese name Kuroki, corresponding
to the French Curique. This son, it
