Tbsre Ouoht to be q Chance.

The opinion has been expressed by
a number of persons in this place that
there ought to be separate time for
selecting corporation officers and de-
Gliding the various questions that are
from time to time voted upon-the
question of license or no license in
particular AS a general thing there
are but two tickets for Town Council
one selected because it favors Ii
cense and one because it opposes Ii
cense, and neither because it is con
sidered capable of managing the cor
poration affairs in particularly COM
petent way. If the license question
were decided on its own merits, then
a Council could be selected on its
merits. Under our present system it
is hit or miss in getting good council
men-sometimes We get them and
sometimes we don't. We should like
to see the subject agitated and he
Improvement suggested carried out.
Our columns are open for public ex-
preston.

The Road Question.

Just now there is widespread agita-
ton throughout the country on tn
subject of improvement of the public
roads, and in Virginia, Maryland and
Pennsylvania a great deal of earnest
ness is being shown in the matter by
the farmers and others. Jefferson
county should work up the same in
terest in this subject and endeavor to
obtain the same good results. That
there is abundant room for improve
ment in our roads is beyond doubt,
nor can it be denied that We are able
to improve them il moderate
amount of energy and intelligence
could be concentrated in the effort.
Most people, however, are content to
simply grumble and complain as they
endure all the discomforts and disad-
vantages of mud roads, and do not
think it worth while to go any fur
ther. We invite any of our farmer
friends or others to express their
views through the REGISTER on this
most important matter.

Improvement of the Shenandoah.

The Shenandoah river improve
ment business has at last decided
move on it. Mr.. john b. Duncklee,
Assistant L. s. Engineer, came up
from Washington last Monday and
was met by Mr.. II. V. Daniels, Sec'y
of the Harper's Ferry Board of Trade,
who, together with Messrs. Saml W..
Strider and John Macarthur, accom-
panied the engineer on his tour of in
spection up the river, being away
from Monday morning until Tuesday
evening. Mr.. Duncklee was sent
here by Col Hams, Of the Engineer S
office, who is in charge Of the Shen-
andoah work. The river was thor
oughly examined, measured, sounded,
etc, from Shenandoah city to the
Clarke county line. 1t was found
that the waterway is not in as bad
condition as was thought, and it is
believed the $4,000 due from the
Government will put it in working
trim again. The gentlemen who ac-
companed the officer on the eXpedi-
ton seem to think the prospect as en-
couraging as could be wished.-Har-

were equal to the occasion, too, and
they made the viands disappear like

Postmaster Mclean Of Warsaw

Postmaster Mclean, of Warsaw,
Mimi, got out of bed early Friday
morning to build fire in the kitchen.
and while he was gone his wife bolted
the bedroom door. and taking a re-
volver from bureau drawer shot
three of her children. Two of them
died instantly The third, mere ba-
by, was shot through the lung, and
cannot live. The mad woman then
poured carbolic acid down the throat
of her fourth child, and completed
the tragedy by swallowing a dose of
the poison herself. She is very low,
and may not recover. The child 10
whom the acid was administered is
also in critical condition. Mrs. Nc
Lean has been respondent and ner-
vous for some time, but ii was not
thought that her mind was affected.
The Postmaster ran TO the bedroom
door "a soon as he heard the shoot
ing, but was unable to force an en-
trance until the tragedy was finished.
