The Fresh Air Children.

The Children's Fresh Air Society OF
Baltimore asks for the cooperation OF
kind-hearted people in this section, In
the work of providing an outing OF two
weeks in the country for the little chill
dren of very poor people that 1--we IN tha'
great city.
The Society is composed of men ana
women who are giving money 10 TINS
cause. They search out the chlldren
and have them examined by physician,
clothe them suitably and pay all eX.
penses of transportation, asking onl y OF
country people that they share their
homes with the little ones two weeks
free of charge.
Could any charity appeal more directly
tn the hearts than thisy We who breathe
the pure atmosphere fragrant with the
scent of fields and forests can scarcely
appreciate the suffering of the poorer
people in such weather as the past fort
night has brought.
In the close streets and alleys OF Bal
timore where the air is sitting and the
pavements blistering under the burning
sun thousands of little children are gasp
ing for fresh air and small share OF the
blessings which we out here IN the
country so freely and richly enjoy.
There is no escape from this furnace for
them unless kindly hands come to their
relief for loves sake. This is the work
this Fresh Air Society is engaged in,
and this is the work in which we are in
vited to share.
Nav we not hope that number of the
good people here may interest them
selves in this beautiful work OF charity
to provide homes for at least 90 Of these
little ones for two weeks?

Sometime to Depend On.

Mr.. James Jones, Of the drug firm OF
Jones & Son, Cowden, ILL.,, in speaking
of DR.. Kings New Discovery, says that
last winter his wife was attacked with
La Grippe, and her case grew so serious
that physicians at Cowden and Pana
could do nothing for her, 1t seemed
to develop into Hasty Consumption.
Having DR.. Kings New Discovery in
store, and selling lots of it, he took a
bottle home, and to the surprise Of all
she began to get better from first dose,
and half dozen dollar bottles cured
her sound and well. DR.. Kings New
Discovery for Consumption, Coughs
and Colds guaranteed to do this good
work. Try 1t. Free trial bottles at
any drug store.

horses, and these sold readily for $3
to $5 dozen. They were not fresh
by any means. Wages still are good.
They are about 50 to $3.50 an hour,
and even now, with 1900 new men in,
500 day is easy to get.
The rush to the fields has made it
necessary that the U. S. government
create a military post to preserve or
der and look after the interests of its
citizens. 1t is proposed to locate a
post about $50 miles from Klondyke
and 1900 miles from the mouth Of the
Yukon river. 1t is reported that the
Canadian government has decided to
place royalty on all gold mined in
Canadian territory in the Yukon dis
trict, and that corps Of officials will
leave Immediately to enforce this
decision. tits probable that the Cana
dian government will build tele-
graph line from Lynn Canal to the
Klondyke, and that system of reserv-
ing alternate sections will be adopted.

Notes From Nearby.

1.-THE Clewspring Weekly" a new
venture in the journalistic field in
Washington county, Nd, was first is
sued on Saturday last. W. Ernest

paper gives promise of being credit
to the fourishing little town which it
is expected to supply with news.
City Tax Collector Harry NJ. Startz-
man, of Hagerstown, recently sold
$4,000 worth Of street-paving bonds
at high prices. The bonds were in
denominations of 5000 and become
due one every year from 1901 to 1911.
The lowest premium any bond fetched
was $2.1O and the highest was 1913.
Deputy Sheriff George Gatrell re-
turned to Hagerstown from Harris
burg on Monday, having in his custody
James White, a travelling salesman,
who was arrested in Harrisburg,
charged with beating the Hotel Frank
lin, Hagerstown, out of a Sl2 board
bill and Clarkson Bros. out Of an SIS
livery bill.

CINE $40 at Wilson's grade, lost his
grip and fell. In falling his hand was

Three young men Of Williamsport,

A warrant sworn out by John Thorn
as, colored, before Justice G. F. Gala
her, is in the hands Of Constable Ma
thena for the arrest of Thomas Daniel
(alias Tom or "Dotsor" Reed, colored,
on the grave charge Of outraging
Amelia Thomas, a fifteen year old
daughter Of the complaining witness,
on the 9th of June last. The crime,
if reports are borne out by the facts in
the case, is a most heinous one, and
the accused will be liable to the sever
est penalty Of the law. The girl, as
we understand, was on her return
home, and when passing the woods of
Mr.. F. j. Manning, near town, was
accosted by Daniel, who walked along
with her and made an improper pro-
posal, which she Indignantly rejected.
He thereupon seized and threw her
to the ground, and after severe
struggle, in which her clothes were
much torn, accomplished his vile pur-
pose. The accused had been in the
employ Of Mr.. Levi Porter, but he has
disappeared and up to this time has not
been apprehended. He is brown
skinned man, Of medium height, weighs
about 100 lbs, and has peculiar-looking
eyes.-Chnle8to,Va Spirit.

The PopnIar Douglas Shoes.

There is no shoe made for men 5 wear
that has attained a greater popularity
than the celebrated w. L. Douglas shoe.
The fact that they combine style and
quality at low price has given them
universal Endorsement. The manutac-
ture of these shoes has made ii possible
for a man in the most ordinary circum-
stances to keep himself provided with
footwear of as good style as the market
affords-the extremely low price at which
they are sold placing them within reach
of all.
The only cheap quality in them how
ever is the price; in all other respects
they grade as high as any shoe in the
market. Their lasting qualities have
been fully tested and found to be I'M
equalled. They are not only OF good
style when new, but retain their shape
and excellent appearance until complete
ly worn out-a very rare quality in even
the highest priced shoes. They are sold
in Shepherdstown by Frank 7. Grove,
who has just received new invoice OF
the various styles.

Clash Between Courts.

A dispatch from Harper's Ferry to
the Washington Post Of Friday last
gives the following interesting news:
There is a conflict Of authority be-
tween the State and Federal courts Of
West Virginia which promises inter-
esting developments, Uncle Sam
judiciary are one stroke ahead, but the
situation may be changed at any mo-
ment.
The controversy is over tract Of
land which the government sold to
Alexander Kelly in 1854, but for
which no deed was ever given. Four
years ago the land passed into the
possession of Miss Ella M. Hendricks,
the eighteen-year-old granddaughter
of Alexander Kelly, the original pur-
chaser.
The government put in claim of
ownership, on the score that the pur-
chase-money had never been paid, as
the absence Of deed argued. Miss
Hendricks was dispossessed, and the
property leased to E. S. Cummings for
50 month, though worth considera-
bly, more. Last September Miss Hen
bricks counsel, James D. Butt, entered
suit in the Federal Court in her be-
half, and the court ordered the prop
erty to be restored to her. The Treas
ury Department at Washington, how
ever, on an opinion by the then Sohc-
itor General, held up the order, and
Cummings retained possession.
Last month, when Solicitor General
Richards succeeded to the Office, his
first official act was to instruct the
United States marshal for West Vir-
ginia to Gust Cummings and put Miss
Hendricks in possession Of her prop
erty. Thereupon Cummings applied
to Judge Faulkner, of the Jefferson
County Circuit Court, for an injunction
against the United States marshal,
This was refused, but Cummings per-
severed, and finally secured an injunc-
ton from Judge NJ. H. Dent, Of the
Supreme Court. When the United
States marshal came to Harpers Fer
ry yesterday to carry out his instruc-
tons, he was confronted with the in
junction issued by Judge Dent, Deny
ing the authority Of the State courts
to override the action Of the Federal
courts, the marshal went ahead and
ousted Cummings. Miss Hendricks
was reinstated in possession, and the
marshal now calmly awaits arrest on
a charge Of contempt Of court, when
the issue between State and Federal
authority will be sharply drawn. The
outcome is watched with interest by
the legal profession and other CONVEX
SAINT with this somewhat remarkable
case.

often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's

back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every
part of the urinary passages. 1t corrects
inability to hold urine and scalding pain
in passing it, or bad effects following use
Of liquor, wine or beer. and Overcomes
that unpleasant necessity Of being COM
PEELED to get up many times during the
night TO urinate. The mild and the eX-
traordinary effect Of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its
wonderful cures Of the most distressing
cases. Ifyou need medicine you should

Items of Interest.

While playing baseball at Fort
Spring, last Saturday, George Eary,
aged twenty years, of the Anderson
team, was struck over the heart by a
ball, which caused his death in a few
minutes. He was at the bat and the
pitcher threw him a ball which he
struck, the ball travelling up the bat
and striking him as above stated.
Gen. Lafayette McLaws, one of the
oldest surviving Confederate major
generals, died at his home in Savan-
nah, Ca, last Friday, aged 76 years.
General McLaws' division was with
the army of Northern Virginia in its
march into Maryland. he captured
Harper's Ferry and Maryland Heights
and rejoined the main army at Sharps-
burg in time to restore the Confeder-
ate line.
Mrs. Louisa Williams, of San Len
dro, Cal, walks for a quarter Of mile
over a stony road on her bare knees
once a year to keep VOW. Two weeks
ago she accomplished the feat for the
seventeenth time. Seventeen years
ago she prayed that her husband
sight might be restored. She vowed
that if her prayer was answered she
would walk on her barred knees from
her house to the church once a year.
Her husband regained his sight and
the woman kept her vow.
Thirty-six lizards were removed
from the stomach of Morris Collins, of
Philadelphia, last week. Collins had
been suffering with stomach trouble for
over FIVE years, and had tried a great
many remedies without success. A
physician gave him an emetic, and on
Friday last thirty-three lizards came
up from his stomach, followed on Tues
day by three more. Some of them were
between 2 and 8 inches in length, and
one which was alive lived for twenty
minutes afterward. 1t is believed
there was spawn in some water the
man drank long ago.
The trial of E. Guy Hall, Vim.
Smith and Joseph P. Cannon, who
were charged with conspiring to ac-
complish the ruin of Cannon's seven
teen-year.old bride Of a few weeks in
order that evidence sufficient to war
rant the husband obtaining divorce,
was concluded in the Police Court in
Norfolk and resulted in a conviction
of the accused. Justice Tomlin, after
reviewing the evidence, sentenced the
accused to pay a fine of $500 and
serve six months each in jail, the limit
of the law Appeals to the Corpora
ton Court were noted and the prison
ers held in $4,000 bonds.
A special from Madisonville, KY
says: The body of Ephraim Brinkley,
who lived several miles from this city,
was found dangling from llmo near
his home Tuesday morning. He had
been lynched during the early morn
ing by mob Of about forty citizens,
who determined to put an end to his
existence on general principles. Sew
eral weeks ago Thomas Croullias, a
well-to-do citizen of the neighborhood,
was assassinated. Brinkley was sus-
pected on account of his evil reputa-
ton, but no evidence could be found
to connect him with the crime. 1t is
supposed that because of his general
bad character and to prevent a recur-
renee of such killings as that Of Croul-
las Brinkley was lynched.

The readers of this paper will be pleas
ed to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages, and that is
Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure now known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being a constitu-
tional disease, requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system, there
by destroying the foundation of the dis
ease, and giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and assist
ing nature in doing its work. The pro-
prietors have so much faith in its cura-
tive powers, that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails to cure.

After meals you should have simply a
feeling of comfort and satisfaction. You
should not feel any special indications
that digestion is going on. If you do,
you have Indigestion, which means not
digestion This may be the beginning
of so many dangerous diseases, that it is
best to take it in hand at once and treat
it with Shaker Digestive Cordial. For
you know that indigestion makes poison,
which causes pain and sickness. And
that Shaker Digestive Cordial helps di-
gestion and cures indigestion. Shaker
Digestive Cordial does this by providing
the digestive materials in which the sick
stomach is wanting 1t also tones up
and strengthens the digestive organs and
makes them perfectly healthy This Is
the rationale Of its method of cure. as
the doctors would say. Sold by drug
