Mr.. Munday'S Misfortune.

It is with great regret that we
chronicle the misfortune that has be-
fallen Mr.. Harry Munday. During
the recent blizzard, it will be remem-
bered, his hands were terribly frozen.
1t was at first believed that no serious
results would follow, but the fingers
gradually grew worse, until last week
the physicians gave up the hope OF
saving them. On Saturday Drs. Rey-
nolds and Butler amputated seven of
Mr.. Munday's fingers, four on his
right hand and three on his left, the
operation being necessary to save his
hands. 1t is serious misfortune to
Mr. Munday, but he bears it manfully.
His many friends here give HIM their
most earnest sympathy.

Election Next Monday.

The annual corporation election will
be held in Shepherdstown next Mon
day, when mayor, recorder and five
councilmen are to be chosen. The
vote will probably not be as large as
usual. Only 2l6 voters were returned
by the sergeant as having paid their
head tax on or before March LIST; SO
failed to pay and therefore cannot vote.
Last year there were 269 votes polled.
The election will be held in the old
way, the Legislature having passed a
law exempting small towns from the
Australian system, The commission
ers of election are E. I. Licklider, I.
R. Line and W. S. Wagner clerks,
Joseph E. Smooth and john Fl. Harp,

Well Do the Work.

The printing bill approved by the
President January 18th contains
provision which discontinues the print
ing of stamped envelopes for private
business purposes, This provision is
thus embodied in sec. 90 of the bill:
The Postmaster-G General shall contract
for all envelopes, stamped or otherwise,
designed for sale to the public or for
use by his own or other departments,
and may contract for them to be plain
or with such printed matter as may be
prescribed by the department making
reouisition therefor; provided, that no
envelope furnished by the Government
shall contain any business address or
advertisement.
This knocks out the government as
competitor to the printing offices.
While we can't print the stamps on
the envelopes, we can do the printing
neatly and cheaply, and invite all
business men to give the REGISTER
office a call.

IMPORTANT.


Mr.. EDITOR-I am truly glad 10 see
that our temperance friends are no,
taking much interest in the corporation
ticket for councilmen this year. While
they desire to see good men elected as
councilmen. yet they have not put any
ticket in the field nor have they joined
with any party OF clique, but are max
ing things lively on the issue They
stand alone on the issue of license or no
license But to the important point.
From what has been gathered. 1t looks
as though there has been some irregu-
larities practiced and that an effort will
be made to have some fraud perpetrated
upon our people at the coming election
by the saloon interest. Now. Mr.. Edi-
tor, let our people rise up in their might
and say that we shall have n fair cleo
ton. Let every man be on his guard
and if any information can be had do
not hesitate to impart the same and
help TO bring the guilty parties to JUS
tice. TEMPERANCE.

was some little insurance. The house

Total Eclipse of the Moon.

There will be total eclipse of the

Just suit young folks who desire to
study astronomy together.
An eclipse of the moon is caused
when the earth's satellite in its month
ly revolutions about the planet is in a
direct line with it and the sun, the
earth being between the other two
bodies. The result is the projection
of the earth's shadow upon the disc Of
the moon. When the latters disc is
entirely obscured by the earth's shad-
ow the eclipse is total. When the
earth, moon and sun, however, have
not their centers directly IN line, but
a portion of the satellite is, neverthe-
less, nearly enough in range of the
earth shadow to cause partial obscura-
ton, the phenomenon presented is that
of a partial eclipse. This phenomenon
is more frequent than that of total
eclipse.

The saloonkeeper ruins other men,
but he damns himself.
God and the saloonkeeper are never
on the same side of any question.
Every blow aimed at the saloon
strikes the devil square in the face.
Praying THY kingdom come, and
taking no stand against the saloon IS
mockery.
The devil don't care how much we
