video, Uruguay, state that Idiarte
Borda, president of the republic, was
shot and killed by an assassin We'd
nesday evening. The crime was COM
mitted as the president was leaving
the Cathedral, where he had listened
to the TIE Deum sung on the occasion
of national fete held in honor of the
anniversary of the independence of
Uruguay, which was achieved August
25, 1926. The assassin is Avelino Ar
redondo, an officer in the Uruguayan
army. He is a Uruguayan by birth
and only twenty-seven years old.
Arredondo was arrested. He is calm
and declares that his crime was not
inspired by anything more than per-
sonal hatred for the president. He
had, he said, no accomplices, and Is
willing to take upon himself all the
consequences of the deed.

A massive curled walnut tree, prob
ably the largest in Eastern Kentucky
or Southwestern Virginia, was sold on
Elkhorn creek, Letcher county, KY,
Saturday, to an Eastern syndicate, they
paying $500 for it. The tree, although
buried far back in the wilds of Cum
berland mountain, where civilization
is hardly known, will be split into
small pieces and then taken out. 1t
will then be hauled overland through
Pound Gap to Norton and shipped to
Cincinnati, where it will be manufac-
tured into the finest furniture. The
tree in question is nearly l6 feet in
circumference and upward of go feet
to the first limb. 1t is estimated that
it will cost them more than 81 600 to
get it to Norton, Va, the nearest rail-
road, but that it will make $1,000
worth of furniture. They cannot lose,
and, in fact, they will make big money.

What Was in the Corner Stone.

What Was in the Corner StOne.
Considerable interest was manifest
ed last week as to what might be in
the cornerstone of the old Lutheran
Church at Uvilla, which was laid in
1956-forty-one years ago. When
the stone was removed the tin box in
side was opened and its contents eager
ly examined. 1t was packed full Of
documents, but no coin of any kind
was in the receptacle. A Bible and a
prayer book were found, and copies
of the Shepherdstown REGISTER, the
Spirit of Jefferson, the Charlestown
Free Press, the Lutheran Observer,
and the Lutheran Almanac. The In
dependent Order of Odd Fellows, the
Improved Order of Red Men and the
Sons of Temperance had assisted in
the laying OF the cornerstone, ana
documents of these orders had been
put in the box. There was also doc
ument in the handwriting of the late
John Hess, giving history of the
movement to build the church and
containing the names of the contribu-
tors. From this document we learn
that at a meeting held in the union
school-house June 4, 1856, of which
George Licklider was chairman and
]. A. Rosenberg secretary, it was de-
cided to erect a new church at Union
Vile, upon lot of ground donated by
Mr.. Isaac Dust. Rev. S. Shelter
was pastor of the congregation at that
time, and the Unionville members
were connected with the Shepherds
town church and worshiped here. 1t
was resolved that the new church
should be called Luther Chapel, and
George Licklider, Adam Link and
John Ronemous were appointed the
building committee. Alexander Link
was treasurer of the building fund,
and it was ordered that no attempt
be made to build if it was found that
a debt of over 5000 be incurred be-
yond the subscriptions. The corner
stone was laid August %, 1856. The
following is list of the subscribers to
the fund for the building of the church,
large majority of whom have passed
to their reward:

The Great Monarch

Is fit subject for pity if he is troubled with
dyspepsia, while his poorest subject who
digests properly may well be envied by a
prince thus afflicted. The dyspeptics OF
every climate and nation owe debt OF
gratitude to H0stetter's Stomach Bitters,
which rescues them from one of the most
obstinate and troublesome complaints
against which medical skill is directed. On
this continent, in Europe and the tropics.
this sterling remedy is pre-. eminently and
justly popular, not only as stomach, but
also as means of preventing and curing
malarial, rheumatic, kidney, bilious and
nervous disorders. 1t improves appetite
and sleep, hastens convalescence and the
acquisition of vigor after exhausting mala-
dies, and counteracts the infirmaties of age.
A wine glassfull taken before retiring has
tendency to promote tranquil, health
yielding sleep, boon much coveted by
nervous invalids.

than you have since the deed was done. I"
The prisoner uttered not word, but
slowly sark to a sitting posture on the
bench over which he had been leaning
against the wall, keeping his eyes fixed,
as if fascinated, upon those of his ter
rible master.
eff you had accomplices, make to So
ciety what atonement you can for your
crime by giving them up to justice. If
misfortune drove you to the deed alone,
confess it, and you will find sympathy,
even in the heart of the girl you have
made an orphan instead of a wife"
Chester, with cry of agony and de-
spair, buried his face in his hands and
sobbed aloud.
The inspector allowed few minutes
grace to his paroxysm Of emotion and
then renewed his attack.
"Come, he said. lyon will tell me
all about it. will you pot?'
Ives, yes" s6bbed' the culprit, "but
give me time to think-an hour-on.y
one hour-and them
Without another word the inspector
noiselessly left the cell, secured its door,
turned down the flaring jet of gas in
the corridor outside, so that the place
was plunged in almost sepulchral
gloom, and returned to his private Office
to wait with confidence for the expira-
ton Of the allotted time
Chester, still weeping, arose totter-
ingly to his feet and staggered to and
fro from end to end of his cell, wiring
ing his hands and moaning. Finally his
outburst of violent grief climaxed in a
despairing Shrek:
''Oh, my God, my God, is this the
end of all? Oh, my lost youth, my
hope, my love! What have done with
them all?"
Supporting himself against the wall,
he passed his hand over his brow with a
dazed, uncertain gesture, as if trying to
control himself, to think, to recall some
thing. Suddenly he paused and stood
erect. The thought had come to him.
With trembling fingers he fumbled
hurriedly through his pockets until he
found small pocket comb that had been
left in his possession when he was
searched by the police. On one side of
its celluloid handle, into which the
comb closed like the blade of razor,
was set tiny mirror. He had little
difficulty in prying from its place the bit
of glass. Thrusting half its width into
the groove intended to hold the comb,
he pressed firmly upon the protruding
half until it gave way, breaking length
wise. In doing so he cut one of his
thumbs severely, but did not seem to no.
tice the fact. With the two bits Of glass
in his hand he laid down upon the bench
and turned his face to the wall.
Concluded next week.
