was quickly returned to the center by
short runs and mass plays. By sneak

the first touchdown. Time 1 minutes.
Holman succeeded at goal and the score
started with a six.
After the next kickoff, the pigsk1n

Rapids goal by the work of Pierce and
Holman and effective mass plays in
which Stevens Point showed its superb

Rapids rallied for a time but went down
before heavy center smashes and mass
plays which brought the ball over the
goal line just before time was called for
the first half A goal made the score y

end of the first half. Grand Rapids
showed good work in the line but were
weak behind, the half backs being too

Editor 5 Heaven.

An editor who died Of starvation was
being escorted to Heaven by an angel
who had been sent for that purpose.
May 1 look at the other places before
I ascend to eternal happiness" asked
the editor. Easy" said the angel. So
they went below and skirmished
around, taking in the sights. The angel
lost track of the editor and went around
Hades to hunt him up. He found him
by a big furnace tanning himself and
gazing with rapture upon lot of people
in the fire. There was sign on the
furnace which read ''Delinquent sub
scribers."
"Get move on you" said the angel,
"We must 60"
"You 90 ON said the editor Il am
not coming. This is heaven enough for
me-"

The hardtimes, large book accounts
and slow collections forced Geo. W.
Lyons, of Babcock. to make an assign
ment which he did Saturday, November
23rd, to Mr.. c. II. Nilsson of this city.
He reports his liabilities S640O and
resources $4,000. He was compelled to
take this course on account of Judge
ment secured against him for 1929 and
costs amounting in all TO about s4O0 by

wor Along the Potomac.

Considerable excitement has pre-
vailed for several weeks past IN our
neighboring town of Williamsport over
the proposed destruction of fishpOt
in the Potomac river, belonging to
BENJAMIN Ardinger, fisherman OF
Williamsport, by farmers and land
owners in West Virginia. The West
Virginians claim that the fshpot Is
nuisance, backing up the water on the
ford, which they use in coming over
by ferry to Maryland, and making 1t
very much deeper at that point than
it otherwise would be. On Monday
and Tuesday Ardinger and his sons
were keeping watch over the fshpot,
and the West Virginians were on the
other side awaiting a favorable oppor-
tunity to begin their work of destruc-
ton. Both parties were armed. Ar
dinger claimed he would kill the first
man who attempted to tear down his
fshpot. Three times the Virginia peo-
pie started out in boats to destroy the
walls, but they were repulsed every
time bv Mr.. Ardinger and his compan-
ions. A conference was finally held
and compromise effected. The Vir-
GINA people will tear down the pres
ent fshpot and rebuild it at point a
half-mile further down the stream.
A case that has attracted the atten-
ton offshermen throughout Washing
ton county, Nd, and Berkeley coun-
tv, W. Va, was tried before Justice
Dugan in Williamsport on Saturday
afternoon. 1t was a suit for assault
entered by Levi Cline against Samuel
P. Angle. Both are residents Of Wash
ington county. The men qnarreled
on the Potomac river over the owner
ship of fsh-pot in the river. The
question of the Maryland justices jur-
isdiction was the point of popular in
terest, as there has been confusion
there as to whether West Virginia or
MARYLAND owns the river bed. The
Justice acted on the case and fined Mr..
Angle SIS for assault, saying the act
was committed in Maryland.

A Negroes Crime Quickly Punished.

James Bowens, a young colored man,
assaulted Miss Lille Long, aged twen-
ty-one years, at the home of Hamilton
Geisbert, about one mile south of Fred
erick, Nd, at $50 o'clock Saturday
afternoon. He was taken from the
county jail at 1.3o o'clock Sunday
morning by mob Of about four hum
dred men, and was hanged to tree in
the field of VIM G. Butler, on the JEFF
ferson turnpike, about one-half mile
from the city. The tree upon which
he was hanged was nearly opposite to
the spot where "Bigus" was lynched
in 1887.
The crime for which Bowens suffered
the penalty of death was most cruel
and brutal one. About o'clock Bow
ems applied at Mr.. Geisbert's home for
something to eat Miss Long gave
him some bread and meat, which he
ate. After surveying the situation
and finding the lady alone in the house,
he offered her one dollar, at the same
time making an indecent proposal.
She ran screaming from the house,
pursued by the fend, who overlook
her in the garden and knocked her
down with blow of his fist While
his victim lay PROSTATE he took pair
of scissors and cut a cash -four inches
long on the left side of the throat,
nearly seveling the jugular vein. He
then stabbed her several times in the
breast, inficting painful wounds, and
cut a deep cash in the back Of her
neck at the base of the skull Not yet
satisfied with his fendish work, he
nearly severed her nose from her face
with the scissors. Notwithstanding
her numerous wounds Miss Long fought
desperately. The negro succeeded in
tearing off all her clothing. Her
screams attracted Mr.. Geisbert and his
son, who were working in cornfeld
near the house. Seeing them approach,
the negro took to the fields and went
toward Frederick. An alarm was
quickly sounded and description OF
the negro furnished by the lady and
William Warner, an adjoining farmer.
An hour or two later the villain was
captured in Frederick. He was taken
before magistrate for hearing,
where he was very insolent and def
ant. He denied his guilt, but pair
of bloody scissors with which he had
stabbed his victim were found con-
cealed in his boot. He was placed in
Jail Soon after midnight band Of
men gathered and marched to the
prison, where one after another of the
doors were smashed in. Bowens was
found covering in his cell, and with
little ceremony the mob placed a rope
around his neck and hurried him out
of town. Arriving at the tree selected,
he was given a couple Of minutes for
prayer, when he was jerked into eter-
nifty by the determined men. AS he
hung one shot from a revolver was
fired at him, the bullet entering his
forehead. The mob then quietly dis
persed.
This makes the fourth assault that
has occurred in Frederick county in
SIX months Three of the fends have
been apprehended, but Wilson, the
colored assailant of Miss Jessie Jeans,
is still at large. There is a standing
reward of $500 for his arrest.

A tired stomach is very much like a
sprained ankle. If you suffer from any
of the symptoms of dyspepsia, your stom-

must relieve it Of all work for a time, or
until it is restored to its natural strength.
To do this successfully, we must use a
food which is already digested outside
of the body. and which will aid the di-
gestion of other foods that may be taken
with it, Such a product is the Shaker

Dead at His Mothers Feet.

John Pofinberger aged about thirty
five years, who had benin Ohio during
the past two years, returned unex-
pectedly Friday to the home of his
aged mother at New Baltimore, in the
Middletown (Md) Valley, He reached
the house about six o'clock while his
mother was at the stable. He entered
and took seat in the front room.
When the old lady returned and opened
the door she thought she saw someone
in the room. She exclaimed
"Who is in here"
A rather weak voice replied, Its
me.
"Well, who is me?" exclaimed Mrs.
Poffnberger. At the same instant she
seemed to recognize her son and cried
out a.:
ooh, John, is that you? You here?"
Eyes, have come back, the son
replied. 81 am nearly dead. Open
the door. l must have some air.
The mother threw the door open,
whereupon the son arose, and stagger-
ing forward, fell dead at her feet Mrs
Poffnberger screamed for help and a
neighbor responded. In the dead
mans pockets were found several Walls
of medicine Many persons think that
Pofinberger took poisonous drug Of
some kind. He walked from Gapland
Station, on the Washington County
Branch Of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, to his mothers home, and
on the way he was seen to drink from
one of the bottles. Some years ago he
attempted to commit suicide by hang
ing. He was twice married. His Sec
ond wife was a Dayton Ohio woman.
He took her to New Baltimore to live,
but in August, 1898, she deserted him
and returned to Ohio, charging i'll
treatment. Soon afterward Pofin-
berger followed her to Dayton, where
he had since been. 1t is said the two
lived together there again.

AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT.

a decided change in its methods of
business. 1t is one that we know will
be acceptable to our readers and one
that we hope will result in increased
influence and prosperity for the paper.
We propose to reduce the price to a
dollar year. And in addition to
this we make the following offer, to
hold good until further notice: To all
subscribers who will pay up arrearages
and make fresh start, paying for one
year in advance, we will send the REG
IsTER for the ensuing year for seven
ty-fve cents; and to all new subscrlb-
ers who desire to try the paper we will
send it for one year at the same low
price of seventy-fve cents.
This is a reduction unequalled IN
the case of country newspapers OF the
standard of the REGISTER. But 1t is
lust such bold strokes Of enterprise
that make success in the business world
in these days. This paper may be
counted on not to lag behind in any
respect, and we propose to give to our
patrons the best service at the lowest
price. It is, of course, something OF
an experiment, to make such change,
but we believe the experiment will be
one for which there will be no cause
for regret. The REGISTERS patrons
may assist it by helping to extend Its
circulation, for it is only by maintain
ing a large circulation that such low
price is made possible. We hope to
double our present subscription list IN
a short time and eventually to work
up a phenomenal circulation, thus ex-
tending the influence and usefulness
of the paper.
The REGISTER already enjoys the
distinction of beng one Of the best
country journals in the State. We
propose to kept up to its present
high standard-and to make it even
more acceptable to its larger number
of readers.
We hope to have all our subscribers
come forward and make prompt settle
ment of back dues and take advan-
tages of this unparalleled offer. All
accounts will be made out by the first
of January. We want to start the
new year with clean books.
We are now ready to enroll new
subscribers at this remarkably low
price. The REGISTER should be in
every family. The rate at which 1t Is
offered makes this possible. Many
persons send the paper away each week
to absent relatives or friends. This
is no longer necessary. 1t costs 50
cents year in stamps, and the wrap
pers require additional money. By
sending rs cents to the REGISTER Of
fee the paper will be sent by us
promptly every week, postpaid, to any
address desired. It's cheaper to have
a new, clean copy sent than to bother
about sending an old one.
The REGISTER has some other plans
for the advantage Of its patrons that
will be announced later. Watch for
them.
