Catarrh Can be Cured

By graduating from the blood the
scrofulous taints which cause it. Hood
Sarsaparilla cures catarrh, promptly and
permanently, because it strikes at the
root of the trouble.
The rich, pure blood which it makes,
circulating through the delicate passages
of the mucous membrane, soothes and
rebuilds the tissues, giving them ten
dency to health instead of disease, and
ultimately curing the affection.
At the same time Hoods Sarsaparilla
strengthens, invigorates and energies
the whole system and makes the debil-
itated victim OF catarrh feel that new life
has been impaired.
Do not daily with snuffs, inhalants or
orther local applications, but take Hoods
Sarsaparilla and cure catarrh absolutely
and surely by removing the causes which
produce it.

Runaway Accident.

Lewis Martindell, of Colora, met
with serious accident on Tuesday
evening. With his granddaughter
Ethel Mccullough, he was driving
into the lane of the farm occupied
by his son, J. Pennell Martindell,

calf, whirled around and threw him
out upon his head and shoulders.
The little girl remained in the
wagon and held on to the lines
until the horse broke loose from the
vehicle, and was not hurt. Mr..
Martindell was picked up in an in
sensible condition and was found
to have sustained three broken
ribs and several cuts and bruises
on the hands and arms.

lnfanticide Case Ignored.

The grand jury in session at
West Chester this week ignored the
charge of infanticide against VIM.
D. Gallagher and Mrs. Eliza Keet
lev and dismissed the case with
some rather sharp comments against
the prosecutors. The case was
based on the finding of the body of
an infant in chrome hole and the
evidence against the parties charg-
ed with the crime seems to have
been all hearsay. This sensational
case was tried before Squire Camp
bell.

The Democrats gain two members
of congress in Maryland, Col. j
Walter Smith, in the First district,
and James w. Denny of the Fourth
district.
Mr.. Tippett, of the Second dis
trict, who placed himself ON Mr..
Bakers platform, was beaten as he
deserved to be for occupying such
an absurd position. In fishing for
gold votes he lost the silver votes,
which were numerous enough to
have elected him.

In 1896 Mr.. Bakers plurality
was 5,367. On last Tuesday he
escaped defeat almost by the skin
of his teeth, with the weakest can
didate that could be put up against
him. Baker lost his own county
Hartford, by six votes. Had the
Democrats put up a silver candi-
date there is little doubt that he
would have carried Cecil. The
poorest political timber in the
United States is a Democratic gold
bug.

The Richards Shooting Affair Verified.

The report of VIM. r. Richards
killing negro, published in last
weeks issue has been ascertained
to be true. His brother, Harry f.
Richards, who is employed in the
bank at this place, has received a
letter from him, from which we
have been permitted to make the
following extract:
"Your letter at hand and contents
noted with great pleasure. Everything
has about quieted down here now and I
can begin to feel somewhat easier, but do
not venture very far away from the boys
at night as 1 have been threatened several
times to be shot. / am holding the fort
and you can bet am keeping my eyes
open every lnoment-carry two large
navy revolvers all the time and sleep with
one OH each side of ME at night. The
negroes are commencing to give ME a
very wide road and all have now are as
polite to me as anyone can be. They all
tip their hats to ME i'll the morning when
1 first go on the work. Well, thank the
good Lord, be through here in about four
more weeks. 1 have had to draw my gun
on the coons here several times, but not
until had to, and when / do 1 mean
business-and now they know it.
Well, about the one shot, if you saw
the West Chester paper it gives a very
good account and the story is so long,
and have so many letters to write, that
will close for this time and will tell you
all when see you again. Don't worry
about me for have gotten used to this
life and will take good care of myself"
Mr.. Richards is civil engineer
and the superintendent of bridge
work, in the employ of the lutte &
Foley Co., of Pittsburg. He has
been engaged for some time in
experimenting the erection of a
railroad bridge near Mosgrove,
which is in the wild, mountainous
region of Armstrong Co., Pa. He
lives in a little two-story cabin and
ON Saturday night, Oct. %, was
awakened by hearing ladder be-
ing placed under the window. AS
he raised up in bed bull's-eye
lantern was flashed on him and a
bullet crashed through the window,
but did not hit him.
He saw the outlines of the upper
part of man at the window and
fired. The man dropped to the
ground and it was not until two
days later that Mr.. Richards was
aware that he had killed him, with
a shot through the heart. When
the negro fell he was carried away
by a companion who was on the
ground. A coroner's jury exon
Grated Mr.. Richards when the
affair became known.
The attempted murder and rob-
berry was occasioned by the sup
position that a large sum of money
was in the cabin for the payment
of wages.

able to get before going to press
leaves the House of the next con-
gress in doubt. Both parties claim
it by slight majority. The Senate
is conceded to be Republican by a
small majority. Simple party ma

question which is the first question

Jumped from a Train.

Lewis Ivory, colored, of Elkton,

fatal accident Monday night. He
had been at Perryviile and boarded
the express due at Elkton at LII,
stealing a ride. When the train
reached Elkton it was running at
the rate of fifty miles an hour, and
Ivory jumped from it at Ceilings
avenue, being hurled a considerable
distance. When picked up he was
found to be badly cut and mangled
about the head.

A SchoolrOom Revery.
LOVINGLY DEDICATED TO MY BOYS AND GIRLS
At L. \. l..

ATF.N.I
1.-THE following little poem is selecte
from the Normal Mirror, the paper pub
lished by the pupils of the Friends Nor
NAL Institute. The verses are very pretty
with just a suspicion of sadness tina
lends pathos to the vein of sentimen
running through the lines.
When the lesson time is over,
Girls and boys have trooped away,
Leaving me alone and quiet
AT the end of some long day;
When the silence regns around me,
And the shadows near me fall,
Then often sit and ponder,
Ponder deeply DER it ALL
They are bright those merry faces,
As they turn each day to mine;
They are loving, fair and joyous
With the light of youth divine.
Have they found gladstone greeting,
When they looked into my face?
All, alas f! 1 fear, too often,
Frowns, not smiles, they there may trace.
For the day so Oft grows tiresome,
And the tasks seem over long;
Then my words turn out "a Sermon"
When they should turn out "a song"
Then l grieve there in the shadows,
Fearing have lost their love-
Sighted, too, the trust so precious
Given me from God above.
Have taught them better lessons
Than were ever found in books?
Have they found a loving friendship
When theirs answered to my looks?
And grow respondent, doubling
If my name is in their thought,
Till feel an answering sweetness
From the flowers they have brought
Flowers, dainty, frail and lovely,
From my desk an answer smile,
With their fragrance stealing DER me,
Satisfying me the while.
Once again my heart grows trusting,
With Il faith sent from above:
And no more doubt my children
For the flowers have whispered-love.
Other gifts are close beside me
In the desk at my left hand.
IT'S n treasure store find there,
Brought me by my little band.
As each morning thanks murmur
Seems that can but family prove
All the gratitude I'd give them
For the flowers that whisper--love.
So wished in verse to tell them,
Both those boys and girls of mine,
How the flowers Oft would cheer me
By their beauty, sweet and fine.
And though costlier gifts may wait me,
Joined with blessings from above,
No sweeter joys can eer betide me
Than the flowers that whsper-love.

Buggy Stolen.

Last Saturday night Carlton
Kimble lhad a new buggy stolen
from his carriage shed. The next
morning the tracks showed the
buggy had been taken across the
field back of the barn, to avoid
passing the house. The fence was
broken down to allow exit to the
road near the railroad bridge.
Sunday morning III. G. Cummings
found an old top buggy in the road
in front of John Keilholtz's barn.
From the condition of the buggy it
had evidently been fastened behind
another and cut loose and it is pre-
sumed the thief abandoned his own
for the one stolen. j. B. Grason
had two horse blankets stolen the
same night and Mr.. Kimble was
relieved of a barrel of cider about
a week previous.
