Hundreds of volumes have been written by
the medical profession, upon the causes and
cures of nervous prostration, gastric irritabil-
ity, loss of appetite, loss of flesh, and upon
diseases of the digestive organs, ETC., and with
what result? In many cases none whatever.
The market has been overrun with patent
medicines, until ones faith in any curative
has almost become exhausted. There has,
however, valuable compound been discov-

A Cowardly Murder.

STANTON, VA, Oct. 10 Shortly after
twelve o'clock to-day, and Just after Gov.
Cameron had finished his address to the vet
Grams, a shooting tragedy occurred in the art
rotunda of the fair grounds. William Mon
tezuma Brown, popular young farmer of
Augusta county, was promenading through
the rotunda with his wife hanging on one of
his arms and leading their little child with his
other hand, when Stuart Koiner, the owner
of the farm adjoining Browns, walked up,
without word, and placing pistol against
Browns body, shot him in the breast, two
inches below the heart. The wife tried to save
her husbands life, and seized the murderer
A captain of artillery, J. 7. Long, struck
Koiner over the head and disarmed him.
Brown was taken into the open air and died
in few minutes. His body was put in
coffin and deposited in the courthouse
Koiner is in jail, but there is the deepest ex-
element among the county people, and the
threats of lynching are so loud that Mayor
Gordon has sworn in guard of 35 men for
the Jail. Koiner is member of prominent
and wealthy family Some years ago, when
at college, he killed FELLOW student in
quarrel, and after long trial was acquitted.
His friends claim he is of unsound mind and
that will be the plea in his defense. There
had been an old grudge between him and

Star Course Of winter Entertainments.

To supply want in the social and intellec-
tual life in Westminster in the winter season,
so universally admitted, Messrs. A. IL. Mer-

ing a series of five entertainments, to be
given on or about the following dates-Ao-

has not been definitely arranged, the follow

All the entertainments will be OF high
character, and such that are rarely ever given
outside of large cities. To secure the course,
the committee require that sufficient number
of reserved seat tickets be engaged in advance
to insure them against financial loss, and have
addressed circulars to number of citizens.
1t is difficult to think of everybody in mailing
circulars, and all who desire to engage tickets
can address postals to box 100, Westminster

must be decided not later than Monday. Any

interest is manifested. Promptness IN en-
gaging tickets is all that is needed to make
the winter Entertainments a success.

From Taneytown Cabbage Heads.

To the Editors of tile Adcocate Having
noticed the piece in your paper speaking of a
certain company of our young men here as
the "Taneytown Cabbage Heads" would say
in reply that, as for any disturbance being
created by said parties, is all nonsense. The
merchant spoken of as having been insulted
is, in reality, the insulter. Having accused
one of our young men of being fabricator,
was asked to place his grounds for such a re-
mark, which he was unable to do. Why?
Because, believing the remark would never
be repeated, and that he would never be called
on to prove it, took this means to belittle a
gentleman in the eyes of the people. Now,
there is this much about it If person is al
lowed to SANDER without restraint and show
that the so-called Cabbage Heads would be
thought of far and wide as a set of rowdies,
simply by the one who is the inferior. But
we would say in conclusion that, notwith-
standing the appellation of Cabbage Heads,
we know the laws of etiquette sufficiently to
mind our own business.

assailants, after long search, arrested. It
is feared that the girl will not recover. Lynch
