IT is reported but we are unable to YER
ify the report as we 90 10 press, that three
tramps stopped the horse of lady be-
tween Frederick and FELTON, on Wednes-
day and compelled her to give up her
pocketbook. If the fends among this
class Of people are getting so bold as to
thus hold people up in the broad daylight
then it is indeed high time the people
we're doing something to rid the commu-
nifty Of these people. For a week past
fully hundred hobos have been making
their headquarters at the depot here
Some few of them will work but the great
majority will not do so. They are mis-
cradle lot this season, even worse than
formerly, and farmers are afraid in most
cases to employ them in picking peaches |
A few cases like this reported one from
near Frederick will lead the people to do
something to rid the community Of these /
worthless wretches

THERE has always been diversity Of
opinion regarding the height OF the Amer
lean woman Some, especially in fash
ion magazines, make the figure tall, thin
and Of the height Of a giantess; the tall
woman certainly is better off when style

however, is more to the taste Of the aver
age maj; she seems 10 call for protec-
ton and caresses. No matter how tall

she is bright and sympathetic, the Amer

About three months ago gentleman
who is prominent newspaper man ol
the city of Wilmington, came 10 Milford
aud calling on the writer of this article
made inquiries of certain people supposed
TO be 10 this vicinity as he gave the
names Of those he wished to inquire
about we were surprised to find that no
such people lived IN this town or vicinity.
The gentleman said he had testimonials
purportiBg TO be from these gentlemen
and he was sent here by the medicine
company to investigate their standing,
etc The doctor who had prescribed the
medicine was the only one found Of all
those whose names were mentioned in
the testimonials. This medicine COM
pany being good and legitimate people
who always investigate their testimonials
dropped the idea OF using them the mo-
ment they found they were faxed. The
proprietors of Pink Pills" not being as
cautious as the company referred TO, were
taken in" as the following ADVERTISE
meut clipped from E0s,y Evening will

The following letters from Dr. A. Haimer,
Of Milford, Delaware a noted and highly re-
spected citizen in that State, and from one of

in the DOCTORS words, for he speaks from the
heart about his young daughter and her res
toration to health.

REPLY TO "TRAVELER."

TERRA ALTA, VIVA. May 4, '95.
EDITOR ARGUs:-The '"Traveler"
goes to Judge Beatty for a job and
doesn't get any. Why I? Because
Beatty very well knows the past
record of Mr.. "rraveler." lie is
sensible of the fact, that III would
be casting pearls TO s,oine to confer
any emoluments on such unworthy
character as Mr.. "Trayeler." Mr..
Beatty has gained for himself in
this county a record far above the
reproach Of such person as we
will more fully describe as We pro-
coed.
First, he is the same jack who
was once hired to teach a school in
Portland district-who would teach
three or four hours-call it a day
taught-dismiss and hunt foxes till
night.

his guR and went to Canaan on a
hunting expedition, ana there spent
the peoples campaign money for
private purposes. Such men arc
not to be trusted, and Beatty is old
enough to know it. If it wasn't
for that little chapter OF law that
sometimes make a man worth 5000.

THE ARGUS AT HOME

We take pleasure in saying to
our readers that this issue of The
ARGUS is published in our own
quarters, the first time that we have
ever been able 60 really and truly
say that we are "at home TO our
friends. SO far as we know, the
paper hns always been renter
heretofore and moved about as cir
cumstSnces demanded. IL has been
our ambition ever since taking
charge OF the paper to have home
or orr own,and this consumnation,
so devoutedly wished, has at last
been attained, and here we arc i'm
nice, new and elegant quarters.
Roomy. well lighted. conveniently
arranged, and, we believe, the
cleanest printing Office in West
Virginia.
Our building is two story and 54
feet long, with three rooms up stairs
and three rooms down stairs. A
good cut-stone basement, six feet
high, sixteen feet wide and thirty
SIX long, is being made under the
building, and should have been
completed long ago, only the CON
tractor has beer delayed with the
work. A heater will be put in this
fall, and the dirt and dust and dan.
ger from so many stoves, and carry
ing in coal aud carrying out ashes
will be avoided hereafter. We have
also Just purchased splendid new
job press, made by Golding Brothers
OF Boston, and expect to get
Country Campbell Power Press
for the paper some time this year.
We will then be about ms well
equipped as any country Office in
the State.
We are not able to give our usual
amount of original matter this
week, owing to the extra work in
moving the office, and every printer
or any one else who ever helped to
move printing office, will know
what a big job 1t is. Besides this,
we are having an unusual rush of
job printing, and the editor being
away part Of the week, we have
done the best we could under the
circumstances. AS we have been
under a very heavy expense for
some time, with ali our improve
ments, and have not bothered our
patrons for long time with duns
or statements, we hope now that
as we arc in such pressing need of
what is due us. all will pay up at
the very earliest convenience. Ex-
anime the tag on your paper and
see If you are not owing us, and if
so, kindly remit and greatly oblige
us.
