WAS the silver question an issue
before the people last year? Most
emphatically it was not. Did
either the Republican or the Dem
ocratic party hoist the single
standard? Let us see:
We hold to the use of both gold and
silver, as the standard money of the
country, and to- the coinage of both
gold and silver, without discriminating
against either metal or charge for
mintage.-Frona the Democratic Plat
form.
Is the unconditional repeal Of
the Sherman law in conformity
with the above extract from the
national platform of the Demo
cratic party?
This from the national platform
of the Republican party:
The American people, from tradition
and interest, favor bimetallism. And
the Republican party demands the use
of both gold and silver as standard
money. .
Senator Teller, of Colorado,
helped to draft the currency plank
of the Republican platform, and il
was satisfactory to him. Para
graph VII Of the Democratic plat
form was equally satisfactory t.
the friends of bimetallism in thai
party.
The Peoples party platform de
manded ''the free and unlimited
| coinage of silver and gold at th'
present legal ratio of 16 to l.
But the cardinal plank Of tina
party's platform was the land loa7
and sub-treasury scheme. As
matter of fact the Peoples part,
does not believe in either gold O
' silver as a circulating medium
! Any we'll Uniformed school bo
knows better than to assert tha

SAYS HE'S A LIVE MUMMY,
That He Has Been One for Seventy
Years, and that He Is Now to4
Years Old.

We have received a letter from La
vaca, Ark. The letter is in the script
of an aged writer, and the envelope
bears the mark of LavaCa post tfice.
1t has internal evidence of being gen
uine, and the writer OF it claims that
seventy years ago he determined to
preserve himself with drugs, and that
he has succeeded, So that up to date he
is Io4 years old. He does not disclose
what drugs he has used, nor the pro
cess Of applying them, whether inter.
nally or externally nor does he send
US his photograph to show how he
looks after being preserved for 50 many
years. But we print his letter:
"MR EDITOR Preserving my living
body until have reached ro4 years, l
am glad to tell what | have done:
"About seventy years ago Was told
that in olden times, and even in m dern
times, the people had a way of preserv-
jig the dead The idea struck me that
if the dead could be preserved by drugs
perfumes and chemiC lis, why not pre-.
serve the living2 told my friends
and neighbors that | believed that the
living body could be preserved as wei
as the dead, but as they had never seer
it tested they were not prepared to give
an opinion. | concluded to try the
experiment, but my neighbors advised
me to let nature take It's course, as
would die as soon as my time came.
| began the experiment, regardless OF
my friends opinion and protest, and
now look back and see they are all
dead"
81 commenced preserving my body
seventy years ago, when was thirty
four years Of age, which now makes me
io4 years old. | undertook the ex-
pertinent for the purpose of preserving
my body and prolonging my life, and |
have met with success, which gives me
ample satisfaction. But even now
some people say that they don't believe
the living body can be preserved and
human life prolonged. The reason
that they don't believe in preserving
the living body and prolongng h"man
life is this They are still going &c
mill as their fathers and grandfather,
did, with corn in one end Of the saCE
and stone in the other. My effort
in preserving my body and proIonginl
my life have been crowned with sue
cess, and now, as far as | an concerned
the people may cry out from the hills
and mountain tops that they don
believe, but in all probability l may
live long enough to hear the clods 0

retain new vessels for a time on the

of the contract are fulfilled, but their
presence allows other ships to be sent

Aim at the Drake
And you are bound to hit some of the
ducks. This is precisely the same with
.Wanpole's
Tasteless
Preparation
Cod Liver Oil.

1t aims to cure Consumption,
Hits the Mark, too, and it
most ehectually breaks up Colds,
Coughs, Hoarseness and all
Throat and Lung troubles that
cause this disease.
1t is natural logic to conclude
that if WAMPoLE's PREPARATION
OF COP Liver OIL has power
to prevent Consumption, it sure
ly is able to cure these lesser
emergencies.
This vigor-making, fat pro-
ducing preparation is Absolute
| ly Tasteless, in SO far as Cod
Liver Oil is concerned. All
you notice is delightful flavor
of Wild Cherry and Anise.
But the purest Norwegian
God Liver Oil is there all the
same. 1t is great blood en-
richer. Best of all it is a natu-
raj food that in its stomachic
effects, actually assists its own
assimilation.
In Pulmonary or Bronchia
troubles it is unequalled. No
one doubts the value OF Cod
Liver Oil, but not every one is
able to take it.
| WAMP0LE'S PREPARATION
removes the nauseous objection
and actually makes Cod Liver
Oil palatable.

Ro6bed the Passengers.

When train No. ran into the Bal
timore and Ohio depoti in Martinsburg
last Thursday night several persons
on the train were approached by two
good looking and well-dressed indi-
yiduals who wanted to exchange
small notes for larger ones. Geo. +.
Seneff, of Oden, Ind, was relieved of
Sl5 in changing $40 bill. Oliver t.
Kemp, a Baltimore and Ohio bridge
man, OF Harper's Ferry, lost So in
changing a $40 bill, and George Orr, a
notice officer, Of Cumberland, who
was also on the train, was asked Tor
a $40 bill. but when the men caught
sight of his uniform they jumped
from the train, which was then leav-
ing the depot Messrs. Senetf an d
Kemp discovered their loss soon after
leaving, and at Hancock got of the
train with officer Orr and returned to
Martinsburg. Subsequently, at the
Continental Hotel, two men were ar
rested who had registered rs VIM. II.
Mathews and Robert Nevins, both OF
Washington, ID. c. Mathews had
hearing before Squire Harrison, and
was released, he having done none OF
the money changing. The hearing OF
Nevins was postponed, on motion OF
his counsel, until Monday, Mr.. Joseph
Catrow, of Martinsburg, was robbed
of $4OO few nights ago while on the
train near Point Of r ocks. Many
other losses are comm. to light.

place in Frede rick, Md, on Tuesday,
March 21st, 1898, the contracting par

Eschbach. Mr.. and Mrs. Gardner
spent several days in Maryland be-
fore returning to Harper's Ferry.
They will reside here. Their many

to witness the ceremony have not
quite forgiven them for stealing a
march," but all join heartily in wish
ing for them the choicest favors OF

To Let the Fish Come Oh.

Rod and line men will be pleased to
know that the general government is
again at work in its efforts to extend
Potomac fisheries beyond the natural
barriers Of the Great Falls. Mr.. Mil
ton q. Urner, of Frederick, intro
duced, when in Congress, a bill for
the establishment of fishway upon
the Potomac. Marshall Mcdonald,
commissioner of fish and fisheries,
who is now in Chicago in the interest
of his governmental exhibit, part OF
which, no doubt, will be his inyen-
tion of our fishway, matured the plan
which has secured the Endorsement OF
Congress, and in the face OF the fact
that the first two Years work, before
it was sufficiently advanced TO deter
mine its usefulness, was destroyed or
at least rendered void by destruc-
tive freshet upon the Potomac, Con
gress has again been induced to make
a further appropriation Of S25, 900 for
its completion and Commissioner
Mcdonald has been put in charge of
its work, with Lieut.. Ct. II. Elliott, OF
the Washington aqueduct. looking
after its disbursements.
Commissioner McDonalds plan is
the establishment Of a saltwater
channel alongside of the falls Of solid
masonry, into which fish struggling
against the rapid CURRENT of the falls
will be forced for safety.
This channel is to be divided into
six sections of inclined planes, not in
appropriately named tish-ladders, OF
an easy inclination, with harbors OF
retreat formed by iron rods inclined
up stream so as to offer resistance to
a backward movement. The first
step having been reached by the
force of the current in this shallow
water, the struggling fish may be
urged on to succeeding harbor, and
thus by gradual westward efforts,
aided by eastern resistance OF these
iron-protected harbors, may find
himself landed upon level above,
from which another similar ladder Of
ascent may continue him on his
journey until the rapids are thus
passed. In addition TO this solid
masonry, with its iron protectors,
wood is used in completing these safe
harbors, and to all appearances the
work developed by its protector
seems theoretically impregnable.
Yet as but two stctions of the re-
quired six have been completed, ii Is
thought the present appropriation
will not be sufficient TO finish it and
render the work practical for this
season.

4 Charming Concert.


We think no performance given in
the town hall has been the source OF
more pleasure to as large and APP
preciatiye an audience as the concert
by the Franklin and Marshall Giee
and Serenade Club on Wednesday
evening. From the first to the clos
ing number the programme was IN
teresting and enjoyable, and there
was scarcely selection that did not
receive hearty encore-and worthlly,
too. Under the skilful leadership of
Mr.. Irvine the boys sang in perfect
unison, and not discord OF any sort
married the evenings entertainment.
The serenade club, with its mando-
Inns and other stringed instruments,
made sweetest melody, and when, in
a delightful medley Of southern tunes
il brought out the strains of dear old
Dixie the audience almost ap-
plauded the roof off. Mr. Bickel was
the first of the soloists and as good a
the best. Mr.. Irvine was likewise eX-
cellent in his solos, his bugle song be
ing particularly fine. MIR. Higbee
and MIR. Gill also did themselves
credit in special parts. All in all, the
performance was a charming one in
every respect, and every person IN
the house, which was crowded &c
the doors, was more than pleased
The receipts were SlO3.S5.
After the performance a reception
was rendered the club at the home OF
Mrs. Reynolds, where a large number
of our people met the clever anc
handsome young gentlemen, who arr
quite as agreeable socially as they are
unsteady. The F. & NJ. boys mus

lively Times Near ShGrpSburg.
Sheriff Brumbaugh, Deputy Sheriff
Clarkson, of Hagerstown, Constable
Samuel Pennel and six citizens OF
Sharpsburg had a lively time last
Thursday in an attempt to evict
family named Nicodemus, consisting
of three bachelors and two maids,
brothers and sisters, from a farm
house three miles south of Sharps-
burg. They succeeded after II sharp
and determined battle. The farm
had been sold for debt and was
bought by George Miller. Mr.. Mil
Ter desired TO possess the property
and the sheriff went to GUST the ten
ants. He and his posse were met by
the two brothers, who held loaded
muskets, one brother with amaze and
the two sisters with huge cudgels in
their hands. As the officers ap-
preached one brother fired his musket
at the sheriff at a distance OF twenty
feet. The sheriff flung his revolver
in the mans face and the load from
the gun went into the ground. Dep
uty Clarkson got behind a woodpile
and the other brother fired several
shots into the wood Clarkson then
rushed to seize the man, when he was
knocked senseless with club by one
Of the sisters. The brothers followed
up the attack BY assaulting the sher-
iff and beating him. Clarkson recov-
cred consciousness, and in going to
the rescue of the sheriff was cut in
the arms and hands with an axe by
one of the brothers. The sisters then
set on the evictors and dubbed them
numerically until every one OF the
party was wounded and bleeding.
Assistance arrived and the men were
overpowered and handcufred and the
women were disarmed. Wednesday
all the Nicodemuses were taken to
Hagerstown for rial, and each was
sentenced to short term lof impris-
onmenU in the county Jail
