sbepberd COLLEGE reception.

The first social function of the year
in school circles was an informal re-
csption given last Friday evening IN
college hall by the teachers of Shep-
herd College. The object of the gath
ering was to bring students, officers
and instructors into more intimate &C
ouaintancs with one another, and to
promote the genuine friendlinsss and
companionsbip which go so far toward
making an ideal school life. During
the early part of the evening, a short
musical programme was rendered
consisting of instrumental solos by
Misses Lalla Reynolds and Lorraine
Turner, duet by Misses Elba Holt
man and Katie Mckee, vocal solos by
Miss Lutte Allstadt and Miss Cum
mings, and a mandolin solo by Mr..
Muldoon, which received an enthu-
siastic encore. Later on, neat little
conversational" programmes were
distributed, bearing eight appropriate
topics, each of which was vigorously
discussed for brief FIVE minutes.
Another interesting feature of the
evening was contest in deciphering
section of printers pi The prizes,
two dainty little books, fell to the lot
of Miss Ruth Snyder and Mr.. E. H.
Barnhart. The credit attaching to
the evenings entertainment belongs
to Mr.. Muldoon, whose genial good
nature and sincere desire to contrib
ute to the pleasure of others has al
ready given him secure place in the
esteem of the students. The entire
programme was happily conceived and
well carried out, making the evening
an occasion of real pleasure, so that
10 o'clock, the hour Of parting, came
all too soon.
It'll. not unusual to hear disapproval
expressed of such affairs in connection
with school life; to hear the charge
that they detract from the hard study
which is essential to success. But
such criticisms lose sight Of the fact
that human nature is many-slded /;
that an all-around culture is necessary
to develop a symmetrical, well-bal-
anced man or woman. Every boy
and girl has a social nature whose
cravings must be satisfied in some way.
If an occasional social gathering is
provided whose tendency is in the
right direction, our young people will
have far less inclination to frequent
those places Of amusement where the
moral atmosphere is at least question
able.

James Reed Injured.

Mr.. James Reed, struck his leg
against cake Of ice in such manner
as to bruise it severely. 1t became
very much swollen and panied him
so badly that be could not walk with
out the aid of crutches. He was
treated by physicians, also used sew
eral kinds of liniment and two and a
half gallons of whisky in bathing it,
but nothing gave any relief until he
began using Chamberlain Pain Balm,
This brought almost complete cure
in a weeks time aud he believes that
had he not used this remedy his leg
would have had to be amputated.
Mr.. Reed is one of the leading mer-
chants of Clay Court House, W. Va.
Pain Balm is unequaled for sprains,
bruises and rheumatism. For sale at

West Virginia Items.

There is great excitement over the
striking of oil in Lewis county. Near
Weston some very rich wells have
been drilled.
The State board of pardons heard
thirteen applications for pardon last
week and granted one-that of Hays
Hagar, who was convicted of perjury
in Boone county. This was the first
pardon granted under the new law.
1t is said that the B. & o. Railroad
is considering the question of double
tracking its line between Grafton and
Wheeling, a distance of 100 miles.
The great growth of its coal traffic and
other business has made it necessity.
A six-year-old boy named Phares,
living near Elkins, attached one end
of rope to cows tail and the other
around his body. The cowran quar-
ter of a mile, carrying the body through
timberland. When found the boy was
dead.
West Virginians hardly know when
to celebrate arbor day. Governor At
kinson designated October 18th as the
date, but State Superintendent of
Schools Trotter named November 10th
as the time. Perhaps all parties will
be pleased if both dates are observed.
The Sheltering Arms Hospital, at
Paint Greek, few days ago received
gift of $4,000 from an unknown
friend. The draft was made payable
to the hospital, and in the letter ac-
companying it the donor stated that
if the name of the giver became known
the draft would not be paid. The
hospital is owned by the Episcopal
diocese of West Virginia, but is free
to all, especially the miners of the
Kanawha and New River coalfelds.
The first execution under the new
law requiring that all legal hangings
take place in the State penitentiary
occurred at Moundsville Tuesday
morning at l.l2 o'clock. The victim
was Shep Caldwell, young and vi
cious negro from Mcdowell county,
who last June shot and killed woman
with whom he had been living. The
execution was managed by Warden
Hawk, and there was no balk of any
sort. Another colored man, Frank
Broadnax, was to have been hanged
at the same time, but Governor Atkin-
son reprieved him for thirty days.
There was an imposing celebration
at Morgantown, this State, on Tues
day, when Captain French E. Chad
wick, of Admiral SIMPSONS flagship,
the New York, was presented with
beautiful sword. The sword, which
cost 81 900 and is gift of citizens Of
this State, was presented by Governor
Atkinson, Captain Chadwick respond
ing in very sensible speech. 1t is
estimated that there were 10000 Wis
itors in Morgantown. Admiral. Samp-
son and other distinguished naval Of
fcsrs were present, besides many lead
ing West Virginians. Captain Chad
wick is a native of Morgantown.

Discovered by a Woman.

Another great discovery has been
made, and that too, by lady in this
country. Disease fastened its clutches
upon her, for seven years she withstood

discovered way to recovery, by pur-

AMONG those who have been men,
toned as candidates for the Democrat
ic nomination for Auditor next year
in West Virginia is Mr.. Simms Powell,
of Parkersburg. We cannot forbear
to speak work for him, for several
reasons. Jefferson county claims him
to certain extent, for he is scion Of
one of our most distinguished families
and his peoplelive here and although
he has long been resident Of Parkers-
burg, he still has deep interest in this
county. Mr.. Powell possesses many
qualifications that would fit him un-
usually well for the important position
of Auditor. He is a careful business
man of wide experience, a gentleman
of the highest integrity, good Dem
ocrat and we believe would add much
strength to the ticket. His friends in
Jefferson county are ready to 60 to
work for him.

A Great English statesman's Secret.

The secret of a celebrated English
statesman's long life was his systematic
way of eating. Every bit of food was
chewed thirty times before swallowing
The result was he naturally enjoyed good
health. Most men and women bolt their
food, and eat things which were never
intended to be eaten. They become
costive. have bad complexion. lose flesh,
are irritable and nervous, and the first
thing they know they are played out. y
1t is gratifying to know that Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters cures stomach troubles.
1t is a purely vegetable medicine that
has stood the test of many years. 1t
cures cases which seem TO be hopeless.
Sufferers from any disorder of stomach,
liver or bowels should try it.

TO OUR READERS.

It was announced last week that the
Shepherdstown Independent had been
bought by the REGISTER, and that the
publication of the former would cease
and its business be merged with that
of the latter. In accordance with that
purpose the Independents subscription
list has been transferred to the REG
IsTER, and all the subscribers of the
former who desire it will hereafter be
furnished with this paper. Of course,
two papers will not be sent to one
person, and those who have been TAX
ing both papers will now receive but
one copy of the REGISTER, unless we
are notified to continue two copies.
Persons who have paid in advance for
the Independent will receive the REG
IsTER for the unsxpired time.
We hope that all the independents
subscribers may continue with the
REGISTER. We shall endeavor to print
a paper that will be acceptable to the
people and prove welcome visitor to
the additional homes it expects to en-
ter. 1t shall not be our policy, how
ever, to force it upon unwilling read
ers, and if there are any of the former
subscribers of the Independent who do
not wish to continue the REGISTER we
shall be glad to have them notify US
promptly. Many have already very
kindly sent us word to send the REG
lister to them, and number of new
subscribers have also entered their
names the past week. The subscrip-
ton price will remain at dollar a
year, fifty cents for six months, or
twenty-five cents for three months.
We shall send the paper just as readily
for three months as we will to the year.
ly subscribers.
1t is our desire to get the subscrip-
ton part of the REGISTERS business
on a cash basis. We therefore request
all persons to make prompt settlement.
Our new subscribers will confer favor
by renting the amount of their sub
scription as soon as possible, while our
old patrons are urged to pay up back
dues and make fresh start. 1t will
be much more satisfactory all around
to have the cash system in operation.
In transcribing the lists of subscrib-
ers it is possible that mistakes may
have occurred, in spite of the care We
have taken. If any names have been
omitted, we hope that we may be no.
tilted so that the errors may be cor
rected. If the paper is received by
persons who have not subscribed, or
who DO not wish to have it continued,
we hope they will also inform us. 1t
will take some weeks to get the list
satisfactorily adjusted.
New contracts will be made with
advertisers who desire to continue to
advertise in the REGISTER. We shall
communicate with all of them as soon
as possible.

Serious Accident.

Last Wednesday evening Mr.. Tay-
lor Stanley, who is about fifty years OF
ago, met with a very serious accident.
While returning from Martinaburg he
was thrown from his horse and was
most painfully injured. His right ear
was torn almost of, he received a bad
cut across the head, and was otherwise
cut and bruised. A physician was
summoned, who dressed his wounds,
and although it was at one time
thought his injuries might prove fatal,
we learn that be is now getting better.

as a declaration of war. The English
government declined to agree to his
demands, and hostilities may begin at
any hour.

the Martinsburg Herald. Mr.. Pitzer
emphatically states that he does not
hold Cleveland's administration re-

he attribute the big corn crop to Mr..

however, that "the sun shines brighter
and the landscape becomes more beau
tiful under Republican than under
a Democratic administration" Well,
