Recent discoveries have demonstrated that
all the organs of the body are under the coa.
trol or the nerve centers, located i'm or near
1he base of the BRAIN and that when these are
ueranged the organs which they supply with
nerve huid are also deranged. When IL is re-
memDered that serious injury to the spinal
cord will cause paralysis of the body below
the injured point, because the nerve force is
prevented by the injury from reaching the
paralyzed portion, 1t will be understood how
bne arrangement of the nerve centers will
cause the arrangement of the various organs
when they supply with nerve force.
:, Iwo-thfrds Of chronic diseases are due to
the imperfect action of the nerve centers at
the base OF the brain, not from derange-
ment primarily originating in the organ it
treating these diseases is that they treat the
organ rather than the nerve centers which
are the cause of the trouble.
DR. FRANKLIN MILES, the celebrated spe-
clallst, has profoundly studied this subject for
over ~ years, and has made many important
discoveries in connection with it, chief among
them being the facts contained in the above
statement, and that the ordinary methods OF
treatment are wrong. All headache dizzi-
ness, dullness, confusion, pressure, blues
mania, melancholy, insanity, epilepsy, st.
Nltus dance, etc, are nervous diseases no
matter how caused. The wonderful success of
Or. Miles Restorative Nervine is due to the
Iact that 1t is based ON the foregoing principle
DR. MILES RESTORATIVE NERvINE is sold bV
al druggists on a positive guarantee, or sent
qlrect by DR. MILES MEDICAL Co., Elkhart
Inu., on receipt of price, 81 per bottle, six

Eugene Suhrer, of Westfeld, Mass, is
his first wife's son-in-law. his present
wifes stepfather his own son-in-law,
also his own father-in-law, his ex-step-
ehildren's brother-in-law, and the grand
father of his own children He is now
suing his first wife for $4,000 damages
for alternating the affections of his second
wife, who is his first wife's daughter and
his own Stepdaughter
Mrs Catherine Suhrer of No. 16 Cam
non steet, the defendant, was deserted by
her first husband, one Phillip Som. in
1868, leaving her with three children and
heart yearning for love. She met Eu-
gene Suhrer and they were married in
1876. Suhrer's heart was too big to BE-
filed completely by love for Mrs Suhrer,
and her daughter by her first marriage
captlvated him. About this time it was
a merry household, rendered addition
ally merry by the fact that Mrs. Suhrer
bore three children to the loving MIR.
Suhrer
Then the latter discovered that her first
husband was still living. and, il is al
legged, brought suit to have the marriage
annulled, but it never came to trial.
Finally he ran away with Mrs. Suhrers

lowed him and had a criminal action
started against him for his relations with
her daughter, but he defended II oy
claiming that he had never been really
married to her, as she had husband
living at the time. The suit was dis
missed and Suhrer married the daughter,
Catherine. She also bore him three
children, who are thus not only the
brothers and sisters, but also the cousins
of the children by Mrs. Suhrer No. l, be-

children.

Be InYal TO Your Town.

Judge Christians splendid speech
delivered in Richmond on the occa-
sion of the opening Of the new build
ing for the chamber of commerce con-
tanned sundry utterances which we
commend to the people Of our town:
"Be loyal to your city, not only by
your conduct in patronizing our home
people whenever they can serve you,
but in your conversation at any and
all times. 1t is the habit Of some
people to have their clothes and their
shoes and their families clothes and
shoes made or purchased in other
cities, and they do so because they al
lege they can't find what they want
here. The reason they don't find
what they want here is because they
don't order what they need here, and
only for this reason. The people who
live and do business here patronize us,
and they have the right to expect US
to patronize them as far as they can
serve US properly. But again, never
decry or abuse you city under any
circumstances, but talk for it all the
time.

Mr. John Ronemous, one of the old
est residents of this county, died very
suddenly at the residence Of his SON
in-law, Mr.. D. G. Moler, near Moler's
Cross Roads, on Tuesday. He had
not complained Of being i'll in any
way, and in the morning had gone to
the mill on business. In the after
noon he went out into the yard on an
Grand, and few minutes afterward
was found dead. He had received a
stroke of some sort that had caused
him to die without struggle. Mr.
Ronemous, who was about 81 years of
age, was an upright man, of the kind
est disposition, and was liked by all
who knew him. He leaves the follow
ing children; William, John and
George, who live in Missouri; Lewis
Mayberry, Martinsburg; Melvin L. and
Mrs. D. G. Moler, of this county.

Lively Times at the Red House.

That section of Shepherdstown
Familiarity designated philadelphia, y
within whose classic precincts Is loca-
ted the historic mansion known as the
Red House, was the scene of a great
combat last Saturday night. The
usual weekly hop was held there on
that occasion, and was attended by
more than the usual amount of fight
ing. Just how the misunderstanding
started does not appear, nor is 1t re-
corded how many razors flashed In
the candlelight. But there is no de-
nying the fact that the row was a
very lively one, for most Of the ladies
and gentlemen present were quickly
in it tooth and toe-nail. The ladies
fought, it is said, with great abandon,
while the language used was not that
which sensitive ears would ENJOY.
The corporation authorities took cog
nizance of the matter on Monday, and
eight of the wickedest were arrested
and placed injail, including two ladies.
Mayor Ray imposed suitable fines upon
them, and those who could raise the
wind paid up and were released, while
the others were kept in durance vile
awhile longer.

folks from town being present. Games
and other amusements were enjoyed.
At late hour refreshments were serv-

couple got lost, and followed two young
ladies with a lantern. They drove
over the field and came very near being
upset. We think the young gentleman
hereafter had better drive with both
hands, instead of only one, and have
lantern of his own. y

DEAR EDIToR:-It has been some
time since you heard from me La
grippe has had hold of NE and have
been unable TO do much work since
Dec. 23rd.
Last Thursday evening the home of
Mrs. S. NJ. Snader was the scene of a
very pretty wedding. The contract
ing parties were Miss Reba f. Snader,
of Keller, and Mr.. Archie B. Wade,
of Newark, n. J. The threatening
weather did not prevent large as
semblage of relatives and friends, Of
whom a great many lived at dis
lance At precisely 80 P. m. the
happy couple, preceded by Walter
and Herman Snader, who acted as
best men, proceeded to the parlor,
where Rev. S. NJ. Engle, of Hedges
vile, was in waiting to perform the
ceremony, which, by the way, was one
of the prettiest I ever saw. The bride
wore silver grey bengahne silk, with
trimmings of pink chiffon and silver
grey ribbon, and carried carnation
pinks. The groom was dressed in full
conventional suit. They both looked
admirably. After the ceremony, the
guests were invited into the dining
room where refreshments were served
in nice style. The table looked beau
tiful beneath its weight of good things.
The presents were numerous, being
ornamental as well as useful. This
being the last of FIVE daughters leaves
a fine opportunity for Walter or Her
man to bring home a wife to Ell the
places of those who have married and
gone. Now, boys, no excuse. The
field is clear, and some pretty miss Is
anxiously waiting to have the invita-
ton to come and abide under your
roof. Yours respectfully,
READER.

Down Goes Wheat.

Wheat has again taken another
great tumble, and the price this week
has reached the lowest point ever
known. Shepherdstown dealers are
offering but So "a "a cents per bushel,
an unheard of price. Of course none
is being sold at these figures, every
body hoping for raise. The down
ward tendency seems to be almost
entirely due to the spectators, for
there is no real reason, apparently,
for such low figures.

Monday morning about three

Mr., and Mrs. Wotring barely escaped

The origin OF the FIRE Is a mystery.
