In the vicinity of Boquet, Westmore-
land Co., Pa, almost any one can tell
Won how to cure d lame back or stiff
neck. They dampen piece of flannel
with Chamberlain Pam Balm and
bind it on the affected parts and in
one or two days the trouble has dis
appeared. This same treatment will
promptly cure pain in the side or
chest. Mr.. E. NJ. Frye, prominent
merchant of Boquet, speaks very high
" of Pain Balm, and his recommen-

it popular there. For sale by J. G.

A FiendIsh Outrage.

Julius Allen, colored, Is IN the ma
perstown iail charged with felODiOus
assault upon Matte R. Cole, a white
woman. About midnight Saturday
night three men on Cumberland Val
lev road near town heard a woman
screaming and went to her rescue
After a desperate struggle Allen was
knocked down with a stone and brought
into town. The woman was put IN the
Jail hospital. She was badly hurt but
identified Allen. She says she had
lost her way and Allen promised to
guide her, and getting into this Sc
cluded place assaulted her. Allen
denies the charge and says he lives IN
Danville Va. He is about twenty
two years old.
The prisoner was given a hearing
before Justice Small on Monday even
ing, at : o'clock. y large crowd was
present. After considerable evidence
was heard the justice committed Allen
to Jail to await the action of the grand
jury. Mrs. Cole was held as a wit
ness but was later released on her own
recognizance, and it is said left for her
home at Falling Waters.
Much indignation and excitement
prevailed and rumored threats Of
lynching were started. Extra guards
were placed at the jail and every pre-
caution taken to protect the prisoner.
The law provides penalty of from
one and a-half to twenty-one years in
the penitentiary or death.

before. The ball pierced his breast

Running on Time.

As illustrating the degree of efficiency
to which the present management OF the
b. X O. r. r. has brought its motive
power equipment and esprit dc corps of
the operating staff, we call attention to
the fact that during the months of April,
Nav and June the passenger trains and
fast freight trains have almost invariably
arrived at their respective destinations
on schedule time The very few eX'
ceptions to the general rule were due tc
causes inseparable from railway opera
ton. and against which no forethought
can wholly guard. 1t may be safely
said that during the period named nc
road in America. comparable in magni
tude to the B. X O., can surpass its rec
ord for punctuality in train movement.

A Brief Apology.

We trust the many readers Of the
REGISTER will overlook any imper-
fections in the general get up of the
paper this week, and also be lenient
with us for the lack Of information on
the great and important money ques-
ton now puzzling the majority Of
American citizens. The editor is away
enjoyinga deserved rest, at the various
watering places, but expects to be at
the helm in due time to steer the old
and reliable REGISTER back to it;
former position among the best papers
in this section, in its issue of next
week.

THE Democratic Primary election
for Jefferson county viii be held on
Saturday Of this week. The nomina-
tons made then will, of course, be
ratified at the November election,
therefore it behooves our people to Sc
riously consider the candidates before
them. The local officers of our county
are nearer to our people, and there
fore of more importance, really, than
any district, State or national officials.
1t is more important that we should
have honest, capable, painstaking,ln
igent county officials than that we have
the most exalted Congressman and
President. Those who are nearest us
affect us greatest for good or bad.
In view Of these facts, then, We cal
upon our people on Saturday to vote
for those candidates whom they be-
lieve will serve the most effcientl!
and faithfully. Put aside prejudice
and personalities and let practical pa
triotism control your vote. Vote al
your conscience and your own gooC
ense dictates, regardless of the infu
ence of others. If all the people WI
be honest to themselves in this mat
ter there need be no fear of the result
