The Late w. r. Percy.

The REGISTER last week gave an
account of the drowning OF Mr..
William R. Percy, of Frostburg, Md,
whose wife was Miss Mamie Bishop,
of Shepherdstown. A dispatch from
Cumberland to the Baltimore Sun
gives the particulars of the sad affair.
Wednesday evening Mr.. Percy went
TO Oldtown on business trip to one OF
his farms. About 10 o'clock at night,
in company with several others per-
sons, he was riding along the towpath
when his horse went too near the canal,
struck soft ground, fOundered and
went down to the edge of the water,
He chung to the side of the bank for
a few steps and then went in. Mr..
Percy was thrown from the saddle by
the efforts the horse made to recover
the ground. At this point the canal
is narrow and the current swift,
although the water is not more than
five feet deep. Mr.. Percy cried "Ohl
save me, save me, as he went under
the water. Before the others could
reach him he disappeared in the dark
ness. and when his body was found 1t
had been carried fifty yards further
down the stream. The horse swan
ashore a few yards below where he
went in. Mr.. Percy was one Of the
few wealthy men of the Cumberland
coal region who made their money
outside of mining. He was the chief
owner of the Hotel Gladstone, Frost
burg, recently completed at cost OF
nearly one hundred thousand dollars.
He was a director in the Second Ma
tional Bank, Cumberland, and owned
large tracts of fine farming lands. He
carried life insurance aggregating two
hundred aud thirty-fve thousand dol
lars, all the policies having been taken
out within the past few years. Only
last week he took out policy for
thirty-fve thousand dollars. Mr.. Per-
cy was a member of the Lutheran
Church. He was in his ffty-sixth
year.
Mr.. Percy'8 will was fled Tuesday.
He leaves his estate to his wife and
children. Two farms in Allegany
county, Nd, and four farms in Min
eral county, W. Va, with all the per-
sonal property thereon, and the pro-
ceeds of a $4,000 life insurance poll
cy are devised to David P. Miller, trus-
tee, for George B. Percy, the only son
of the deceased, who is to get the net
proceeds from the investment of the
insurance money and the operation of
the farms. George B. Percy recently
filed a suit for divorce from his wife
whom he married in Philadelphia last
December The will provides that if
there is a separation of husband and
wife by divorce he shall receive no
part of the estate, and the property in
tended for him shall go to his sisters.

Some of our most ultra proteetionists
are feeling the effects of the belated
prosperity. Right here at home we
have examples. T, c. Ward, he whom
we all know, the former proprietor of
the Auburn Wagon Works, gave Con-
gresham Dayton a cordial handshake
last fall when he was here stumping,
took him through his excellent plant,
and assured him that he was satisfied
that if the Republican platform and
ticket triumphed he would within a
month or two double his force Of hands.
He has long ago gone up the spout.
n. E. Whitaker, president of our
State Senate, and prominent Repub-
lican politician of Wheeling, and who
has large interests in the iron mills of
that city, now states that their mills
are closed down, that their men, hun
dreds in number, are out of employ
ment, that he has been travelling extern
sively through the west in quest of
orders, but has returned with no en-
couragement and says that he can see
no hope for a revival Of business in
the near future. Even Senator Elkins
has changed his tune. Last fall he
was promising good times for the work.
ingmen if they would only vote "for
an honest dollar and chance to earn
it, but now he states that there can
be no permanent prosperity until
wages are reduced. "-Martlnsb1Wg

You may never have been, but II you cross
terry expanse, without seasicknesS you are
well, a lucky voysger, that is all. Old tars
who have spent their lives on the ocean
waves, who were almost born, so TO speak,
with their "sea legs on" suffer now and then
from seasick ness In very tempestuous wealth
err. Sea captains, tourists, commercial trav-
elers and yachtsmen say that there is no finer
safeguard against nausea than Hostetter's
stomach Bitters, and IL has been equally re-
liable as preventive by ipvalids who travel
by steamboat and railroad, and who some
times suffer as much In those conveyances as
ocean travellers do in steamships. Bilious
ness, constipation, sick headache and disor-
ders of the stomach caused by oppressive
climatic influences or unwholesome or unac-
customed food or water, always yield to the
Bitters speedily. This popular medicine also
remedies rheumatic, kidney and nervous
disorders, and the infirmities incident to in
creasing years.

ton, Coughs and Colds, so demand it

claim there is anything better, but in
order to make more profit he may

good. You want DR.. Kings New Dis
covery because you know it to be safe
and reliable, and guaranteed to do

Colds, Consumption and for all affec-
tons of Throat, Chest and Lungs, there

Don't think because you are sick and
nothing seems to give you relief that you
can't be cured.
There must be cure for you some
where.
If your doctor can't cure you, perhaps
he has mistaken the cause. Anybody is
liable to make a mistake sometimes.
One in three of us suffer from indiges-
ton, and one out of three dyspeptics
doesn't know it. That is, he may know
he is sick, but he blames it to something
else.
Indigestion is the cause of half OF oul
dangerous diseases.
Shaker Digestive Cordial, made from
tonic medicinal roots and herbs, is the
most natural cure for indigestion. 1t re-
lieves the symptoms and cures the dis
ease gently, naturally, efficiently, giving
fresh life, strength and health to SICK
dyspeptics.

VIII AT TO DO.

There is comfort in the knowledge SC
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
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. Eyou need medicine you should
have the best. Sold by druggists, price
fifty cents and one dollar. You may
have a sample bottle and pamphlet both
sent free by mail. Mention the REGISTER
and send your address to DR. Kilmer &
Co., Binghamton, n Y. The proprietor
of this paper guarantees the genuineness
of this offer.

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few yea S
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced 1t
local disease, and prescribed local rem
edies, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to
be constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. j..
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure on the market. 1t is
taken internally in doses from 10 drops
to teaSpoonful. 1t acts directly on the
blood and mucous surfaces of the sys-

CHURCH NOTES.


The Lutheran congregation at Uvilla
has realized for some. time past that
their church building is too small to
accommodate the audiences, and en-
largement of the present edi6ce is now
an absolute necessity. Last Sunday
congregational meeting was held and
it was unanimously resolved to i'm
prove the property. A committee was
appointed to secure plans and ascer-
tain the cost of remodeling and en-
larging the old building and also to
consider the ACCESSIBILITY of building
new church. Under the pastoral
charge of Rev. c. H. Hockey the
church at Uvilla has grown steadily
and the proposed Improvement is nee
essary for its continued progress.
Children's day services of the most
interesting character were held by the
Southern Methodist Sunday school
last Sunday evening. The exercises
which were conducted by Superin'
tendent W. P. Licklider, consisted o.

Harry L. Snyder, of the Shepherds
town REGISTER, was in our charge dur
ing the session of the Editorial Associa-
ton last week at Weston. Our labors

The committee appointed at the
last session of the Legislature to pro-
pose amendments to the constitution
of West Virginia has finished its work
and adjourned. A considerable num-
Der of amendments and changes have
been adopted by the committee, and
they are, in the main, wise and proper
ones, so far as we understand them.
The committee passed resolution re-
questing the Governor to call an extra
session of the Legislature to consider
the amendments, but the Governor has
emphatically stated that he will do no
such thing. The committee will en-
deavor to get the signatures of three
ffths of the members of the Legisla-
ture to call for a special session, and
meet in spite of the Governor.
We are not prepared to endorse an
extra session of the Legislature as at
present constituted. It's record is not
a very good one, and the more we
learn of the doings at Charleston last
winter the less we like it. A good
many men got in on the tidal wave
last fall who are not well qualified as
lawmakers, by any means, and the
less of their work the State is respon-
sible for the better it will be. The
body was too intensely and bitterly
partisan to be trusted with changing
fundamental law.
Anyhow, the old constitution is
pretty good and we can very we'll wor-
ry along with it a few more years.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four hours;
a sediment or settling indicates an I'M
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 out of order.
