Haunted.

A haunted house in these practical and un-
rom antic days is something OF rarity. but
an individual haunted with the idea that his
ailment is incursble is a parsonage frequent
" met with. Disbelief In the ability Of med
icine TO cure is only q mild form Of mono
mania, although in some cases repeated fail
ures to obtain relief from many different
sources would almost seem TO justify the
doubt. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters has dem
onstrated its ability TO overcome dyspepsia
constipation. liver and kidney trouble, ma
lsrial com plants aud nervousness. and US
recorded achievements In the curative llhe
ouebf at least to warrant its trial by anyone
troubled with either of the above ailments,
even although his previous efforts 10 OBTAIN
remedial aid have been fruirless. Used win
persistence, the Bitters will conquer the most
obstinate cases.

DEATHS DEMANDS.
r. A. Alexander Dead-MIss McBee-John Burns
Isaac Green Mask.

With feelings of deepest regret We
chronicle the death of Mr.. Richard A.
Alexander, which occurred at his home
in Charlestown about midnight on
Tuesday of this week. News was re-
ceived here on Sunday that Mr.. Alex
ander was seriously i'll. but his many
friends in this place cherished the hope
that he would be able to overcome the
disease. The announcement of his
death yesterday morning, while not en-
tirely unexpected, nevertheless caused
general expressions of regret in this
end Of the county. His death was
caused by pneumonia, brought on to
some extent by his indefatigable labors
as a member of the congressional COM
mittee of this district.
The deceased was native of Jeffer-
son county, and was born in lS49.
Twenty years ago, in 1874, he mar
ried Miss Julia Butler, daughter of
Hon. G. T. Butler, of this place. His
devoted wife survives him, together
with seven children. Mr.. Alexander
has been for many years the secretary
and manager of the Jefferson County
Mutual Fire Insurance Company, and
was capable and efficient business
man. He was also junior member of
the insurance agency of Washington
& Alexander. For ten years he was
one of the assessors Of this county. In
1890 he resigned the Office Of assessor.
In 1892 he was candidate for depu-
ty sheriff on the old sherifalty ticket,
which was elected by large majority,
due to a great extent to his popularity.
In the discharge of his official duties
Mr.. Alexander was as competent as
he was courteous and kind, and was a
model public officer,
Mr.. Alexander was one of the best
known and most popular men in the
county. Of a generous, genial dispo-
sition, his friendship was sought and
priced by all classes. His official
duties as well as his business and per-
sonal relations gave him wide &C
quaintance, and he had those fortunate
qualities of mind and heart that COM
PEELED the admiration of all who came
in contact with him. His death comes
as a personal grief to hundreds of our
people. He was an active politician,
and as a campaign manager was singu-
larly adroit and successful. And
though he worked so earnestly and
with great spirit, even those who dill
fered with him could not but admire
him. His political opponents were his
warm friends. His death will have
an important bearing on the future
politics Of this county.
To the family that suffers the loss of
a kind and loving husband and father
we tender our sincerest sympathy, and
we deplore the loss to the community
Of such good citizen, so active bus
mess man, and so noble friend.
The funeral of the deceased will be
held in Zion Episcopal Church tomor-
row friday afternoon at 8 o'clock

Miss Kate McBee, well-known res
ident of Shepherdstown, died very sud-
denly at her home in this place last
Saturday morning, aged 81 years. She
had been i'll for some days, but was not
supposed to be so near deaths door.
She had been suffering some from heart
disease, but an abscess of the lungs is
supposed to have fastened her death.
The diseased was faithful member of
the Southern Methodist Church, and
almost her last words expressed SIM
pie trust in her Saviour. She was of
a kind and genial disposition, and was
liked by all who knew her. Her fu-
neral service was held in the church
of which she was a member on Sunday
afternoon, and was conducted by her
pastor, Rev. F. A. Strother. The re-
mains were inferred in Elmwood Gem
etery in the presence of large con-
course of friends and relatives. 1t is
a singular coincidence that Miss Me-
Bees death occurred one year, to the
very day, after that of her sister, Mrs.
Jacob Wintermoyer.
Mr. John Burns, a prominent
farmer, who resided three miles west
of Charlestown, died of pneumonia at
his home Monday afternoon. He was
taken sick Tuesday night last, and his
sudden death was a great shock to
the community. He was born near
Charlestown in 1927. He began life
a poor boy, and by his industry and
frugality accumulated considerable
fortune, owning at his death sixteen
hundred acres of the finest land in
Jefferson county. He was a member
Of the Presbyterian Church, and for
many years held different offices in the
church management He was highly
respected for his Christian charity and
charitable acts. A widow and FIVE
children survive him.
Mr.. Isaac Green Mask, nephew of
of Mrs. John H. Snyder, of this place,
died at his home in Hagerstown last
Thursday night of complication of
diseases. Hehad been in failing health
for year or more. He was native
of Plymouth, Pa. For a number of
years he was road foreman of engines
of the Shenandoah division of the
Norfolk and Western Railroad. Later
he held the position of foreman in the
Norfolk and Western shops at Norfolk,
Va. He is survived by his wife-who
was formerly Miss Fannie Fayman,
of Shepherdstown-and three chill
dren, Noel, Blanche and Edna. Mr..
Mask was good citizen and a kind
husband and father. He was in the
41st year of his age. The funeral was
held at Hagerstown on Sunday last.
