Youthful Robbers jailed.

Baltimore and Ohio Detectives n.
W. Riordan and Columbus Mead made
a capture in the mountains near Sandy
Hook, as a result Of which the follow
ing boys were landed in Jail at Hagers-
town: Samuel Burlington, aged seven
teen; Thomas Burlington, twelve;
William Walters, seventeen lobe
Merriman, fifteen; Thomas Easton,
fifteen; John Baker, eighteen Minrod
Bernhart, seventeen. By their own
confessions the boys started out as
mountain pirates. For several months
Baltimore and Ohio depots and freight
cars between Cumberland and Har-
per's Ferry have been broken into and
robbed of merchandise, grain and cash.
The money was taken from the depots.
The robberies became frequent and ex-
tensive about six months ago, ard the
matter was placed in the hands Of
John Lloyd, acting chief of the rail-
road detective force. Officers Riordan
and Mead were detailed to work up
the case. They went to the mountains,
but in spite of the utmost vigilance
the robberies continued, first in one
place and then another. The officers
remained in the mountains, however,
and one night last week caught the
crowd in the act of robbing a freight
train at Brunswick. The boys re-
sisted at first. Young Walters had
shot gun with him, and Easton car
ried a dirk knife. The detectives
state that the boys confessed when ar
raigned before Justice Miller at Sandy
Hook, and told a story Of their short
career in the mountains Of Washing
ton and Frederick counties. They
were held for court.

THE publisher of the Harpers Fer
nv Sentinel, Mr.. Jacob R. Grove, seems
to be very much rufled over the mild
statements made in the REGISTER con-
corning his appointment as postmaster
When he was first appointed the REG
IsTER said of him
I'VE are glad to learn of Mr.. Grove s
good fortune, and have no doubt he VIII
prove a very efficient postmaster.
He doesn't seem to have appreciated
our friendly wishes, for he publishes
in his last issue good deal of rot and
misrepresentation that shows him to be
Just bilin over. Perhaps we ought not
to blame him, as he says his informa-
ton comes from an "old Democrat Of
Jefferson county" That he has been
imposed upon by some envious person
is quite apparent, but we suggest to
him that he does not swallow al the
falsehoods that are offered him. Most
of the statements furnished him by
"old Democrat" are rank lies, which
are not now worth the trouble Of de-
NAL.
Concerning the changing of ones
politics, our rufIled friend should note
that there is quite difference between
turning from a party as a matter Of
principle and Topping to the other side
simply because one has been kicked
ont of Office.

youth of the same age, named Samuel
Burgess, started out in dOg-cart to

Short distance when the horse became
frightened and ran of: Young Burgess
jumped from the vehicle aud escaped
unhurt, but in some way Packet was
thrown against the wheel and his head
was caught between the spokes. When
the horse was stopped he was found
to be terribly mangled, nearly the
whole top of his head being torn OF
and his brains scattered along the road
for some distance. He was dead when

A man named Gustave Muller has
surrendered to the Rotterdam police,
confessing the murder of his wife and
child. As proof of the truth OF his
confession he produced from his pocket
four human ears. The police, on
searching his house, found the two
bodies. Muller subsequently confessed
that he had also killed his parents,
mutilating their remains in the same
fashion, and then made the astonishing
statement that he had similarly dis

The Distillery lnjunctions.

The injunction cases Of Gauger H.
C. Berry and Storekeepers J. G. Ruck-
man and William Butler, which were
set for argument before Judge jack
son, at Clarksburg, last week, were
continued until the 18th, at Martins
burg, the government not being ready.
Judge jackson issued a modifying or
der in the revenue injunction cases
by which the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue was allowed to assign gau-
ger to the Hannis Distillery from some
outside district, in order that goods
might be withdrawn from the bonded
warehouse. The order was issued on
the suggestion of the Collector, owing
to the pressing necessity of removing
certain spirits in bond. This order,
however, does not allow the distillery
to resume the manufacture Of spirits.
Mr.. S. J. Bounds, of Baltimore, will
act as gauger temporarily in order
that the spirits needed for shipment
may be gotten out of the bonded ware
house. Collector White has filed
through his counsel his demurrers and
answers to the several bills Of injunc-
ton. The case will attract much in
terest when it is heard in the l. S.
Court at Martinsburg on the 18th.

THERE have been rumors for long
time to the effect that the late Secre-
tary of State, VIM. E. Chiffon, was
short in his accounts. The matter has
now gotten into the newspapers, and
it is stated that the amount is from
$4,000 to $4,000. Mr.. Chiffon is
out in a card in which he says the
amount due the State is less than the
sums named, and he also states that he
is not defaulter, but in settling up
accounts he finds he is indebted to the
Office a certain sum. He declares that
the State will not lose dollar, and if
he is given a little time he will be able
to pay every cent due.
The Office of the Secretary of State
has evidently been conducted very
loosely.

Dig down to the cause of your sickn,

Dig down to the cause of your sickness,
if you want to get well and stay well.
Most likely it's indigestion. The irri-
tating poisons of fermenting, putrid
food, left in the stomach by indigestion,
cause headache, neuralgia, nervousness,
dizziness, stomach-ache, nausea. irrita-
bility, and all the other well-known
symptoms of indigestion.
They also cause many pains and dis
orders which are often laid to other
causes and hence are not easily cured.
But as soon as the poisons are rem01e6,
all these symptoms and disorders diSap-
pear, because there is nothing left to
cause them. Nothing succeeds in this
like Shaker Digestive Cordial, because
it breVeHts the undigested food from
fermenting in the stomach and helps the
stomach to digest its food.
Sold by druggist, price 10 cents to sl.OO
per bottle.

THE Argentine governments about
to adopt bill providing for retail
atory tariff on goods imported from
the United States. Our exports to Ar
gentina last year amounted to $ll,-
100000, but this trade will be greatly
cut down by the action referred to.
The Dingley tariff is directly respon-
sible for this. The Argentine govern
ment simply says to us; "If you place
a tax en- the goods we want to sell
you, we will have to do the same with

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four hours;
a sediment or settling indicates an un-
healthy condition of the kidneys When
urine stains linen it is positive evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire
to urinate or pain in the back, is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are ont Of order.
