Jefferson county is getting a pref
ty good all-round record, notwith-
standing an excellent and worthy
judge, and forcible, well.equipped
prosecuting attorney. Convictions
are frequent, and Judge Faulkner
administers punishment pretty liber-
ally, but there is now to be added to
the murders, poisoning, burglaries
and election cases an alleged, unlaw-
full and criminal COTTON against a
doctor at Halltown, who was admin
istering chloroform as an anaesthet-
ic for the supposed purpose of max
ing physical examination. We hope
neither were dupes, but if either was
criminal that full punishment be CIV
Gu, as it is breaking down of the
confidence that should be held and
maintained by professional gentle
men.

Senator Elkins furnishes the
Statesman and other Democratic
grinders a basis for a youthful as
well as meaningless recreation. They
try to make a foot ball out of him
and he has sense enough not to even

barriers, complacently looks at them

BASE BALL.
Martinsbury Wins Three Straight Cares.

Within the past week our home
club has won three victories over
visitors, and now bids fair to do ex-
cellent work in the series OF league
games.
With Frederick last Saturday,
which club had strengthened them
selves materially with a new battery,
they played an errorless game; and
instead Of victory browning Freder-
lick, as they expected, they were
overwhelmingly defeated by score
of "a to 0. The home battery was
Ritchie and Graffus. The Frederick
team simply did not know how to
play ball, and were not lin il with
Martinsburg, consequently the score:
Martinsburg-1 405O671-34
Frederick 10000 0000- 0
With Milton on Monday an excit
ing game was played. This club is
strong Pennsylvania club, has ex-
cellent players, and men full OF gin
ger. They had only been defeated
once this season and that was by the
famous Cuban giants ; but they went
down before the Martinsburg club.
Weidenhammer, who pitched for the
visitors, was an easy victim, and an
other pitcher was substituted, but
we kept on increasing the score. In
the ninth inning, however, the strong
lead of II to in our favor left our
boys grow careless, and Milton scor-
ed five more, making the victory for
us stand II to IL. An unassisted
double play by Homer, hot line
fly almost impossible to handle,
caught with one hand by Young, a
double by Young, Zimmerman and
Horner, were the special features of
the game, as well as Lannon's catch
of two long flies, one of which no one
expected him to get. Rider pitched
very good game and struck out
four men the strike outs for the Wis
itors were ID, showing that the field
ing of the home team won the game.
The score by innings
Martinsburg-2 2O2 3 2 4-l7
Milton 3 90 $40 0 0 5-12
On the 18th, Tuesday, another
game was played with the same club,
in which Richie went into the box
for Martinsburg and did some excel
lent work. In fact the two runs
made by the Milton club were not
earned, but scored on the errors of
our boys. Several bad plays were
made, but we forgive them when we
consider how the score of to 2 in
favor of Martinsburg sounds. The
visitors struck out seven of our men
and Richie struck out six of them.
Slinkman made good running catch
in the latter part Of the game, but
his three errors came very near be-
ing critical. The following is the
score by innings;
Martinsburg-O 100 l 2 O-9
Milton i 100 90 0 0 %

A PAPER whose advertising
space is sold so cheap as lone

which is equivalent to about
one-half a cent U. S. currency,
must be hard UP for business.
No newspaper man with any
respect for his profession would
run any such Cheap John bust
ness, and if ever The HERALD
Should be reduced to such
straits, to get advertising, the
editor would throw his print
ing outfit into the Rio Grande

the good people of this section

stuff, for we know that they
are both able and willing to
pay the regulation. price for
