MRS. PINKHAM'S STANDING
INVITATION.

Women suffering from any form Of
female weakness areinvited opromptly
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at
Lynn, Mass. All letters are re-
ceived, opened, read, and answered by
women only. A woman can freely
talk of her private illness to q woman.
Thus has been established the eternal
confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and
the women of America which has never
been broken. Out of the vast volume
of experience which she has to draw
from, it is more than possible that she
has gained the very knowledge that
will help your case. She asks nothing
In return except your good will, and
her advice has relieved thousands.
Surely any woman, rich or poor, is very
foolish If she does not take advantage
of this generous offer of assistance.

Stop! Women,

And consider that in addressing Mrs.
Pinkham you are conRding your private
ills to woman-a woman whose ex-
perience in treating woman's diseases
is greater than that of any living ply
sician, male or female.
You can talk freely to a woman when
1t is revolving to relate your private
troubles to a man; besides, a man does
not understand, simply because he lisa
man.

CHAPTER on Chickens.

Some wretched thief is causing hard
feelings in the breasts of the residents
of the eastern end Of town by stealing
their chickens. Mrs. Ryan and Mrs.
Bennett have had their fowls stolen
recently, and others have been losing
one or two at time from the same
cause. Rev. G. G. Everhart has also
had a number stolen.
The other morning when Mr.. Pres
ley Marmaduke opened the door Of his
coop to allow the young chickens to
come out, only one made its appear
ance. He investigated, and there,
satiated with the blood of twentY-four
chicks that he had slain, sat big rat,
while the bodies of the fowls lay round
about him. Before Mr.. Marmaduke
could recover from his surprise the rat
escaped.
Mr.. NJ. L. Eichelberger, who lives
at the edge of town, is having trouble
with the crows They sit around on
the trees or fences until some incau-
tious chick stray away from the house,
when down they pounce upon it. He
has lost a couple Of dozen little chick
ems already.

James Hooper, uncle of the present
mayor of Baltimore, was buried In that
city last week. For twenty years Mr..
Hooper had not exchangeda wors
with his wife, though they lived to-
gether in the same house with their
children and attended the same church.
Mr.. Hooper was eighty-four years oid
and his widow is eighty. Twenty
years ago he purchased lot of ground
near Towson, with the intention Of
booming it. He used some money Of
Mrs. Hooper's. The boom failed, and
all of their money was lost. Mrs.
Hooper, who thought her husband was
responsible for her losses, refused to
speak to him. He reciprocated, and
as the years went by the bitterness in
creased. They ate at the same table,
but would never speak 10 each other.
Their children tried to reconcile them,
but all in vain. When Mr.. Hooper
fell i'll his wife refused to have any
thing to do with him.

Confederate Memorial Day.

Last Saturday was observed as Con-
federate memorial day in Shepherds
town, and the exercises were partici-
pated in by quite large crowd of
persons from town and the surround
ing country. At 2 o'clock the veter-
ans formed in front of the college
building with Col. W. A. Morgan as
chief marshal and Capt. Lee H. Moler
assistant, and, headed by the Shep-
herdstown band, marched to the ceme-
terry. The usual responsive service at
the monument was held, after the vet
Grams had marched with uncovered
heads around the graves of the soldiers,
and then the exercises were conducted
at the stand. Rev. G. H. Rockey
opened with an appropriate prayer.
Rev. A. A. P. Neel, of this place, de-
livered the address, which, though
brief, was most excellent one-among
the best, indeed, that we have ever
heard on such an occasion. Miss Lena
Frazier read an original poem contrib
uted by an old soldier from Virginia,
and Mr.. D. Morgan McKendree read
a poem of his own contribution. The
exercises were interpreted with sew
eral well-rendered memorial day songs
by choir, including a solo by Mr.. NJ.
E. Spohn, and music by the band.
After benediction by Rev. Mr.. Neel
the graves of the soldiers were plen-
tifully decorated with flowers and the
exercises closed. The occasion was a
most appropriate and decorous one
throughout-in every respect fitting
manner of remembering the heroes who
gave their lives in defense Of their
conscientious convictions Of right.

Railroad News.

Beginning today, a new order IN the
line of retrenchment goes into effect on
the Norfolk & Western Railroad. All
of the baggagemasters will be removed
from their positions and the work they
have been doing will be done BY the
express agents. This will, of course,
add materially to the duties of the ex-
press men, but it is said that the rail-
road company will save about $4,000
annually and the express company hall
as much. 1t is a knockout blow to
many faithful railroad men, however,
as it means reducing the grade of a
large number of them.
The B. & o. Railroad has posted
notices along its line calling attention
to the act passed by the last West Vir-
GINA Legislature, in effect May I'D
making 1t a criminal otense lor any
one not passenger or employee to
board a train lying at or passing a
station.
The B. & o. shops at Martinsburg
from which the machinery has recent
~ been removed, are being repaired,
and it is stated that they will be Oc-
cupied by the maintenance of way and
bridge building departments, giving
employment to large force.
1t is said that the Norfolk & West
e1n Company will hereafter require
one man to run two water-tanks. The
engineer at Bullskin tank will have tc
run the engine of the tank at Shep'
herdstown also, and one man will lose
his job.

Mad Dog at Large.

The performance of mad dog Gre
ated some excitement in the Rocky
Marsh neighborhood, west of town, on
Tuesday. The dog, which showed
plainly that it was affected by rabies,
made its appearance at Mr.. W. Man
ming Lemens place, where it bit fe-
male beagle belonging to Mr.. Lemen'
He managed to get load Of shot IN
it, but before he could finish it the an
imaI made its escape and went to Mr..
George T. Sperow's. Here it snapped
at the fowls in the yard and acted SO
strangely that Mr.. Sperow' sons shot
at it with a revolver, but failed to kill
it, and it went on toward Winebren-
ner's Cross Roads. From this point
it turned back on its trail, but soon
disappeared and was seen no more
We have heard that while it was on
the rampage it visited the premises Of
Messrs. NJ. B. Lemen and Daniel Fulk,
and it may have been at other places.
Tuesday evening Capt. Lee H. Mo-
Ter, who lives below town, noticed his
handsome red setter acting very
strangely. 1t frothed at the mouth
and ran after the fowls, which it tried
to bite. Capt. Moler was convinced
that the dog was mad, and reluctantly
shot and killed it. 1t answered some
what the description of the dog seen
above town, and it may be that it was
the same one. 1t will be well for the
persons living along the route trav-
eled by the mad dog to keep sharp
lookout for evidences of rabies III their
stock.

A Well-Kept Cemetery.

A stroll through Elmwood Gene
terry last Saturday evening after the
memorial services were over revealed
a lavish profusion of beautiful flowers
that we suppose has never been equal
ed there. Not one soldier grave had
been missed, and almost every person
lying in the silent city of the dead had
been remembered by some loving
friend. Many handsome bouquets and
floral designs had been prepared while
the growing plants, in the height OF
their bloom, added further beauty to
the scene. 1t had touching and I'M
pressive effect. The cemetery itself
was in perfect order. The walks were
clean and neat, the trees well trimmed
and the grass nicely moved. Elm
wood Cemetery is an institution dear
to the people of this section, and they
will take pride in the knowledge that
it is so well kept.

WILL PUMP OUT THE WATER.
The Flooded Mines of Leadville to be
ReOpened

There is a general feeling of salts
faction at the outcome OF the mine
managers meeting Monday While il
was recognized that it would be some
time before work could commence, still
the plans as already published indi-
cate that it is the intention to pro-
coed, and this ends the suspense that
has been such an unpleasant feature of
the situation for so many weary weeks.
One of the most difficult problems
that confronted the mining men of
Leadville was the handling of the
water. 1t was a question of draining
vast subterranean reservoir or of
practically abandoning mining in the
Leadville district. The mining men
wer not quite ready to throw -up the
sponge and desert the camp, and grad
ually the different companies installed
more or less complete pumping plants
and il is estimated that from 1891 to
1894 and 1895. not less than 5000 gal
Ions per minute was taken from the
down town and Carbonate hill basins.
This does not include the important
operations of the Union Leasing COM
pany which drained very consider
able area on Fryer hill.
II is not necessary at this time to
make any criticism of the methods used
in the handling of the water or to
inquire whether better or more econ
omicaf means could have been adopted.
1t has frequently been said that CO.
operative effort, commenced ten or
twelve years ago, would have saved the
district hundreds of thousands of dol
lars. An immense drainage shaft,
equipped with a Cornish pump, has
been frequently suggested in former
years as solution of the pumping
difficulty. but like many other excel
lent plans it fell through mainly for
want of concerted action. The hand
ling of water was left to each intiivid-
ual mine manager, and he had to work
out his salvation as best he could.
The result was that each one endeav-
ored TO reduce the initial cost TO as
small amount as possible Large COM
pound pumps were introduced. and
these proved to be reasonably success
full in the handling of the water al
though the expense of operating them
was extremely heavy.
During past years the bulk of the
pumping expenses of the district was
