COUNTERFEIT MILEAGE TICKETS. -
Recently there appeared in Pitts
burg, a man giving the name Of r.
G. Lucas, accompanied by woman
calling herself May Anderson, who
attempted TO dispose of counterfeit
b. & O. Mileage Books. They did
succeed in selling some to the brok-
ers, and then departed for Cleve.
land, where they registered at the
American House as r. G. Lucas and
wife. In their efforts to dispose of
the spurious tickets, they aroused
suspicious, which were at once COM
municated to the B. & O. Agent,
who immediately took such action
as led to the arrest and conviction
Of the woman, who was found guilty
of selling counterfeit tickets and
sentenced to six months in the work
house, and to pay fine of $500 and
costs. The man succeeded in maxi
ing his escape, but as he is known
to the railroad people and the police
his arrest is only question of time.
The B. & o. officials have taken
every precaution to prevent the sale
or use of these spurious tickets, and
have expressed determination to
prosecute to the fullest extent of the
law anyone caught attempting to use
counterfeit mileage or other bogus
forms of transportation, and win be
especially vigorous against brokers
found offering them for sale.

A SUMNER TRIp.-Quite a unique
wagon drawn by two good horses
was seen one day last week coming
down the Winchester pike. A lady
and gentleman, Mr.. and Mrs. Chas.
Moore, of Mt. Glare, Col, were the
occupants of the wagon. They
started from their home on the
eighteenth of May and arrived in
this city on the eighteenth of Au-
gust, just three months coming that
distance in their comfortable wagon.
To hear the account of their sum-
mer's trip is interesting in the ex-
IRENE, and well worth written his
tory, and such it is understood Mrs.
Moore has planned. One day of
their trip was spent by the side of
the grave, where Mrs. Moore's
mother had been laid to rest just
thirty years ago to the day. Mrs.
Moore was at one time a teacher in
our public schools, and no doubt
many remember her as Miss May.
1t has been many long years since
she has visited this city and she
finds many pleasant changes. They
have gone to Annapolis, Md, and
expect to travel the rest of their
journey, one hundred and forty
miles in their wagon. They are no
longer young people, but their BRAY.
cry in attempting such long trip,
in such novel manner would make

Moore is now looking for the 74th
mile post in life's highway, and his
gentle wife is not far behind in her
reckonings.- World,

The early fall is undoubtedly the
best time in the year to visit Mag

better, but travelling is so much

of summer and the severe cold of

There is comfort in the knowl-
edge SO often expressed that DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great
kidney remedy, fulfills every wish in
relieving pain in the back, kidneys,
liver, bladder and every part of the
urinary passages. 1t corrects ina
bility to hold urine and scalding
pain in passing it, or bad effects fol.
lowing use of liquors, wine or beer,
and overcomes that unpleasant nee
essity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to uri-
nate. The mild and the extraordi-
nary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for
its wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need medi-
cine you should have the best. Sold
by druggists price fifty cents and

INAUGURATION OF THE PRESIDENT
PosTPoNED.-Dr. Raymond will not
be inaugurated president of the
University September 9Th, as had
been intended. The plan was to
have DR.. Harper, president of Chi
cago University, deliver the inaugu.
raj address, but he sailed for Eu-
rope last week and will not be availa-
BILE on the date mentioned. DR..
Harper is probably the leading edu-
cational genius in the country, and
besides is intimately acquainted
with DR.. Raymond, having watched
his development in the field of let
tiers with a great deal more than
ordinary interest. For these rea-
sons, as well as from the fact that he
is man of such distinguished char.
acter, it is especially desired that he
be present for the inaugural event.
Hence postponement has been de-
cided upon, without fixed date as
yet. DR.. Raymond will assume his
duties without the anticipated cere-
monies, which are to occur, notwith-
standing some time from September
18th to October lst.

dwindling groups of trees that are

nights; seeing every sign of life and
of motion, the throbbing, bounding,
singing car, clutching TREMENDOUSLY
at its rails, half scorning their sup
port, rushes to plunge into the hum
of the gigantic hive beyond.
Day after day the car is filled
with eager faces and with clamorous
tongues, and there is read in long
strained eyes and heard in thin
worn voice all the realness of that
which we call life.
But often, many times day, the
car meets another thing in motion.
1t creeps, long and black and slow.
close to the edge of the track.
And now a race begins. The
thing Of life, painting against rivalry,
raises war note shrill and keen and

power-unless that sobbing sound
may be its utterance-awiul in its
dark control, slow, and sure OF It's

The spring-green of the trees is dull

border the road look black, while
the air that drank like sunshine dis
titled into wine, has bitter taste,

avenues, only light and blossom.

Teachers are required by section IS
of the School Book Board Law to use
or cause to be used no other than the
authorized textbooks. Therefore it
becomes the plain duty OF every teach
er to promptly introduce the new
books into his or her school at the
beginning of next term and use no
other. But little trouble will be ex-
! perienced if teachers go about this in
the right way.
1t would be good plan for every
teacher to make canvass of the SUBJ
district in which she has contracted
to teach before the beginning of school
and acquaint the patrons with the
compulsory attendance law, and the
change made in the textbooks, and
advise them what books to buy for
their children, and request that they
have the books when their children
enter school.
By consulting the last grade sheet
any teacher can tell about what books
every pupil will need to begin school
with.
1t would be well to find out what
old textbooks the children have and
tell them that these will be taken at
the depositaries as part pay in ex-
change for new books on the same
branch.
MeGuffey's third, fourth and fifth
readers will be taken in exchange for
the Pollard's readers allowing eleven
cents for each of these old books. In
our contract for the Pollard readers
and spoilers it was agreed that an old
book, even If it consisted of only a
cover and few leaves or a number of
leaves and part of cover would be
taken at the regular exchange rates
for old books.
We would suggest that the Mont
gomery Beginners American History
take the place of McGuhey's Fourth
Reader and Lewis State History of
West Virginia the place of McGut-
fey's Fifth Reader.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill q bottle or common water
glass with urine and let it stand
twenty-four hours sediment or
settling indicates diseased condition
of the kidneys. When urine stains
linen it is positive evidence of kid

urinate or pain in the back, is also
convincing proof that the kidneys
