Nor satisfied with barring our fresh
fruits from the United States, the Ger
man government now proposes to pro-
hibit our horses from entering that
country. We think a good, stiff dose
of retaliation on the part of our gov
erument would have a good effect.
By the way, what sort Of minister
have we in Germany, anyhow? Isn't
he too much taken up with the insig-
nifcant matters of official etiquette and
too Indifferent to material business af-
fairs?

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one pur-
pose, namely, a receptacle for the urine,
and as such it is not liable to any form
of disease except by one of two ways.
The first way is from imperfect action
Of the kidneys. The second way is from
careless local treatment of other diseases.

The latest development in the much
talked-of "Hooley-Gooleys" Of Will
Transport, and their outrages, is the
statement by the detective, Jerry
Allen, of Baltimore, that he discovered
a plot against him which, had it been
successful, would have been tragic for
him. He stated Friday evening that
the day after he had made the arrests
in Williamsport of the "Hooley-Goo-
leys" brother of one Of the men ar
rested called together some choice
spirits and proposed plan to get
speedy and drastic revenge. Allen
was to be invited to join them in a
drinking bout, and when he was suffi-
GENTLY befuddled to carry him into the
cellar, and, after numbering him, bury
the body there. He tells this in per-
feet good faith, and seems to think
that he has made narrow escape.

THERE is much opposition to Con-

judicial districts out of West Virginia,
and lawyers and others are signing
protests against the measure on the
ground that one judge is fully capable

sure that Judge Jackson can attend to
all the business in West Virginia, but
if the government wishes to provide
another court, with all the fat Offices
that appertain thereto, we haven't the
slightest objection. While the swag
is being distributed let's get our share.

RANDOM NOTES.

Our venerable fellow-townsman, Mr..
Joseph Welshans, celebrated the nine
ty-tlird anniversary of his birth last
Friday. There was no ostentation
about it. His dutiful daughter, Miss
Ellen, provided the usual bountiful
dinner for the relatives nearby, the
friends of the patriarch called during
the day to tender congratulations and
good wishes, and he himself spent the
day after his usual manner. Mr.. We'll
shans still has the good health for
which he has long been noted, and says
that if he only had a new pair Of legs
he would be as active as any one need
be. His chiefinGrmity is his deafness,
but this is no worse than it has been
for many years. His eyesight Is good
and he can read almost as well with
out glasses as with them. He keeps
thoroughly well posted on the current
events of the day, and enjoys reading
the papers. Mr.. Welshans is among
the Oldest of our citizens, if not the
oldest man in the county. He was
born in Shepherdstown, in house that
occupied the site of his present home,
and he has never lived anywhere else.
His father lived there before him, and
so for over hundred years that corner
has been the Welshang home. Father
and son were blacksmiths, and it is no
doubt due to the sturdy work that he
did for so many years that he has lived
so long and possessed such robust
health.
Just think of the world in 1905, the
year when Mr.. Welshans was born !
No railroads, no steamships, no steam
engines moving mighty machinery at
the bidding of man. No electricity,
no telegraph lines, no news from other
parts of the world save by slow-saillng
ships and messengers now and then.
New York Dutch settlement, Phila-
delphia Quaker town, Chicago an UNI
named prairie where the Indian hunt
ed the buffalo, beautiful Washington
a dream of the future. The changes
in the worlds ways and methods in
one mans lifetime have been almost
incomprehensible. What advance is
in store for mankind during the COM
ing century?
We hope that Mr.. Welshans may
live to round out the full hundred
years. This, however, is matter Of
indifference to him. He says he is
simply waiting now the Masters will,
and whenever the inevitable call shall
come he will be found ready and wait
ing. May his days be prolonged un-
til he can no more enjoy them.

The building of the telephone line
that is to go through Shepherdstown
proceeds but slowly. The poles have
been distributed to point about half
way between this place and Sharps-

ed. 1t is said that the line from Ha-
gerstown to Baltimore is to be con-
structed first, and if this is decided
upon it may be several months before
the line is in operation through Shep-
herdstown. We think, however, that
eventually we will have frst-class

with all the surrounding points, as well

A HEAVY FAILURE.
A Great Coal Mining Concern is Thrown
Into the Hands of y Receiver-New
York Creditors Did 1t.

CINCINNATI, Nov. 15.-Henry w. Put
nam and Charles j. G. Hall, of New
York, as trustees, Monday filed in the
United States circuit court petition
asking for the winding up of the af-
fairs of the Turney & Jones Co. and
Pennsylvania & Ohio Fuel Co. Turney
& Jones had their headquarters at Co
lumbus, o., and conducted the business
of mining coal and other minerals.
These companies are among the
largest that ever operated in the
Ohio coal fields. Their troubles COM
menced in the summer of 1897 with
the great coal strike. They had large
contracts to fill in the northwest, and
were unable to get coal until late in
the summer, and then at high
prices and with very high lake
freights. The result was a
loss of over $500, 900 at that time. This
summer they bought very large guam
titles of coal, which is still on their
DOCKS while their collections have
been very slow. AS they bought the
coal early, great deal of paper has
fallen due before receipts were coming
