The fifteen anniversary OF the mar
riage OF Mr.. David H. Hout and Mrs.
Margaret A. Hout was commsmorated
by golden wedding and family re-
union at their home in Shepherds
town on Saturday, October IA, 1898.
The occasion was quite unique and
most pleasant. Five Of their children
were present: Mrs. James n. Wolff,
of Winchester, Va; Misses Lottie and
Ella Hout, of Shepherdstown; Rev.
II. Lee Hout, OF Rileyville, Va; and
Mr.. Lawrence T. Hout, OF Warrenton,
Va. The remaining two, Mr.. George
w. Hout and Mr.. ID. NJ. Hout, OF
Warrensburg, Mo, were unavoidably
detained at their homes, but sent
kind messages and rich souvenirs with
regrets at not being permitted to be
with the family upon so interesting
an occasion. Others present were
Mrs. Laura 2. Dechert, OF Harrison
burg. Va, and Mr.. Luther Miller, OF
Martinsburg, the only sister and
brother OF Mrs. Hout; Rev. J. H.
Wolff. Mrs. Luther Miller, Mrs. Loeb
er, OF Baltimore, Mr.. Lloyd Licklider,
OF Shepherdstown, Mr.. Philip Barn
hart. an aged uncle Of Mr.. Hout's,
Miss Selma Hout, granddaughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Hout, and Rev. +. a.
Strother and wife. Rev. James II.
Wolf made some most felicltous re
marks aud As the representative OF
the children and friends extended to
the aged couple hearty congratula-
tions on their long, happy and pros
porous union, especially on the honor
partly theirs in having 50 signaily
succeeded in rearing their children
to be crowns OF honor TO them as
we'll as "a comfort in their declining
wears. Rev. II. Lee HOut then read
the 103d Psalm, and was followed In
an appropriate prayer by Rev. t. A
Strother, the pastor. The happy pair
who have so harmoniously walked to-
gether for fifty years then led the
way to the dining-room, where AL
elegant dinner was beautifully served
to the happy company. Mr.. and Mrs.
Hout were the recipients OF many
handsome presents, particularly from
their children, among the rest 500 IN
gold coins. May they yet live in
truest happiness for many years, to
continue benediction to their family
and community. s.

The Greatest Taiker Of Them All.

The record for experimenting was
broken in the Senate last week by
Senator Allen of Nebraska. The sill
yer Senators had made up their
minds to talk until the Senate should
adjourn through sheer WEAKNESS.
The first man they put up after 1t
was determined TO hold continuous
session was Mr.. Allen. He held the
floor, talking nearly all the time, for
142 hours. During that time he oc-
casionally slipped from a cup OF tea,
but this was his only nOurishment.
When he finished his eyes were as
clear, his voice was as strong, his ges-
lures were as vigorous as when he
took the floor His respites were few
when he sent to the clerk TO have
read certain excerpts-but even then
he remained upon his feet without
the slightest evidence of fatigue.
Mr.. Aliens speech breaks all prev
ious records, and his power OF enGur-
ance won for him the admiration OF
those who were opposed to his tao
tics. Prior to this Senator Faulkner
was the record breaker, he having
held the floor for thirteen hours dur
ing the long debate on the force bill.
The conditions then were entirely
different. Fully two-thirds of Mr..
Faulkner's time was spent in his seat
resting while efforts were being made
to secure quorum. Before that
time tho longest speech within the
recollection of Senators was Of about
ten hours duration and was delivered
by Garrett Davis, Of Kentucky, during
the reconstruction period.

They Give their Reasons.

Perhaps some of our readers would
like to know in what respect Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy is better than
any other. We will tell you. When
this Remedy is taken as soon as a
cold has been contracted, and before
it has become settled in the system,
it will counteract the effect Of the cold
and greatly lessen its severity, and it
is the only remedy that will do this.
1t acts in perfect harmony with ma
ture and aids nature in relieving the
lungs, opening the secretions, liquefy-
ing the mucus and causing its eXpul-
sion from the air cells OF the lungs
and restoring the system to strong
and healthy condition. No other
remedy in the market possesses these
remarkable properties. No other will
cure a cold so quickly. For sale by
j. @. Gibson.

THE UNITED STATES SENATE.


The silver question has been pretty
nearly taken out Of the United States
Senate. Legitimate debate on this
important issue was practically eI-
hausted several weeks ago, and since
then the sessions of the Senate have
been taken up by the silver Senators
in senssless maunderinss simply for
the purpose Of killing time.
The point now at issue is whether
the minority or the majority shall
rule.
After the bill for the repeal OF that
clause of the Sherman law requiring
monthly purchases by the govern
ment of 4, 500, 900 ounces OF silver had
been fairly and fully considered and
discussed, Senator Voorhees,, who
had charge of the bill, endeavored
to have a time set for vote on the
measure. The opponents OF the bill
announced that they would allow no
time TO be fixed They started in to
talk the bill to death. So far they
have been able to prevent vote, and
unless there shall be change in the
rules Of the Senate they can stave
off action indefinitely. Last week
Senator Voorhees, objected TO ad-
iournment, and held the Senate i'll
continuous session for 80 hours. The
silver Senators talked all the time.
Senator Allen Of Nebraska babbled
for fifteen hours. Every half hour or
so there would be demand for a
quorum, and after day and a-halt
of such dilatory tactics the Senate
adjourned through sheer WEAKNESS.
The present week shows the same
state of affairs. Men like PETER and
Stewart hold the floor all the time,
nearly, reading anything they wish
TO fill in the time.
There is a majority in favor OF the
bill Of ten or twelve, yet the minority
backed by lot of obsolete rules and
hampered by precedent, are running
the Senate TO suit themselves. The
majority are perfectly helpless,
Unless there shall be changes i'll the
rules. so that these tirssome takers
NAV be shut off, the Senate can stay
in session until doomsday without
transacting any business. 1t seems
TO us that the time has come 10
change those rules. They are being
dishonesty used by the minority.
| Senatorial courtesy TO the minority
has proven to be pearls cast before
swine. The commonest principles OF
honesty and fairness are that the ma
iority shall rule. Such should be the
case in the United States Senate.
This drivel, called debate, by mere
time killers should be stopped. Call
it cloture or whatever you please,
some rule should be adopted that
will enable the majority to govern.
The advocates OF the bill have been
fooling with the silverites long
enough. Let them now put the
| screws on.

Terrible Railroad Accident.

There was terrible railroad acct
dent at Jackson, Mich, last Friday,
by which twelve persons were killed
and thirty injured. A special eXcur
sion train from the east had stopped
at the station for breakfast, when the
second section crashed into the rear
of the first. The airbrakes of the sec
ond engine failed to work, and the
great locomotive plowed its way
through the three rear cars OF the
first train. The scene that followed
the collision was horrible in the ex-
treme In a moment the air was filled
with the shrieks of the dying. Dead
and mangled bodies could be seen in
the debris. The people on the plat
form and from the surrounding streets
rushed to give what help they could.
Physicians were soon on the scene.
The dead were conveyed to the local
undertaking rooms and the injured to
hotels and to the city hospital. One
of the most horrible sights in connec-
ton with the accident was a woman
carrying a head by the hair around
through the crowd moaning and weep
ing, and apparently a raving maniac.
She was taken care of by the police,
and the head which she carried was
taken to police headquarters.
