Women Should Know 1t.

Many women suffer untold agony and
misery because the nature of their dis
ease is not correctly understood. They
have been led to believe that womb
trouble or female weakness Of some sort
is responsible for the many ills that be-
set womanklnd.
Neuralgia, nervousness, headache, puff
fy or dark circles under the eyes, rhcu-
matism, a dragging pain or dull ache IN
the back, weakness or bearing-down SEN
sation, profusc or Scanty supply OF urine
with strong odOr. frequent desire TO pass
it with scalding or burning sensation,
sediment in it after standing in bottle or
common glass for twenty-four hours, are
signs of kidney and bladder trouble.
The above symptoms are often attri-
buted by the patient herself or by her
physician to female weakness or womb
trouble. Hence, so many fail to obtain
relief, because they are treating, not the
disease itself, but reflection of the pri-
mary cause, which is kidney trouble.
In fact. women as well as men are
made miserable with kidney and blad-
der trouble and both need the same rem

youne Mrs. Winthrop.

The play of"Young Mrs. Winthrop.
was rendered in the town hall IN tins
place wednesday and Thursday nights
fI.st week in most excellent style
by our local talent. In our opinion
It was the most skillfully acted play
that has been given in Shepherd'tOwn
by amateurs. Each individual per-
former was a star, and not one OF them
fell short of the highest excellence
DR.. N. Mex. Wilson took the leading
male role, that of Douglas Winthrop
and while he always does well, he e1-
ceeded his very best previous efforts
in the difficult part he portrayed
Polk Rightstine was inimitaOle as
Herbert Winthrop, the bashfuI lover
and Walter Duke as lawyer Buxton
Scott could not be improved upon.
Harvey Pendleton made most Dig
nifed Doctor Melbank. Mrs. Robert
Gibson as young Mrs. Winthrop sus-
tanned the part with her Characters
tic cleverness, and her splendid actihg
was all that could be desired from be-
ginning to end. Miss Sallie Miller,
as Edith, the blind girl, acted her Pc
culiarly difficult part in a manner
that won the entire approval OF the
audience for its graceful perfection.
Miss Urna Cummings, as Mrs. Win
throp, made most sweet and dlgnl-
fed matrou, and her success as one OF
our most popular performers was as
sured from her first appearance. Miss
Elizabeth Shepherd, who is always
popular with Shepherdstown au-
diences, played the part OF Mrs. Dick
Chetwyn, and her bright and spirited
rendition won her great applause.
No one could have interpreted the
character more cleverly than Miss
Lii. Misses Lalla Reynolds and Lau-
ra Butler were all right as maids,
Miss Titus entertained the audience
with spirited music between the
scenes. The receipts were something
over seventy dollars.

I am satisfied would have been equal

ASSignment.

1t is with great regret that We re-
port the failure in business of Mr.. J.
n. Trussell, of Frostburg, Nd, for
merly of Shepherdstown. Mr.. Trus-
sell made an assignment here to Mr..
George NJ. Beltzhoover, for the bene-
fit of all his creditors His principal
creditor here is the Potomac Building
and Loan Association. The property
assigned here is the brick store and
residence on Main street, with the
large livery stable in the rear, and a
number Of lots in Trussell's Addition.
In Frostburg Mr.. Trussell assigned to
Attorney Clayton Purnell, and the
statement was made that his liabilities
were $4,000, with assets of $4,000.
Mr.. Trussell was in business in
Shepherdstown for number ofyears,
and wa. one Of our most popular mer-
chants, whose integrity and enterprise
always caused him to be genuinely re-
spected by our people. We voice the
sentiment of Shepherdstown, we are
sure, when We express the hope that
his embarrassment may be but tenn
porary, and that he may soon be upon
his feet again.

Business Changes.

Mr.. NJ. S. Hiteshew, who has been
in the dry goods and millinery bust
ness in Shepherdstown for a number Of
years, and whose store is in the REG
lsTER building, has sold out to Messrs.
J. F. Welshans and ]. Louis We'll
shans-father and son. He is now
reducing his stock by selling at cost.
The negotiations for the sale were
conducted by Mr.. ]. Louis Welshans,
who came here from Kansas, where
he had been in business for several
years. His father is in Chicago,
where for long time he has been
connected with the great store of
Marshall Field & Co. The new firm
will be known as ]. F. Welshans &
Son, and will conduct frst-class dry
goods, millinery and notion store, up
to-date in every particular. Mr..
Welshans senior was formerly in this
line of business here, and is remem-
bered as one Of the best merchants in
the town. We are confident that the
new firm will conduct a store that
will be creditable to this section, and

ness. They expect to open their new
store about the middle of March.
Mr.. Hiteshew has not yet definitely

Rev. DR.. VIM. II. Nelson. rector Of
Trinity Episcopal Church in Shep-
herdstown, has presented his resignA-
ton to the congregation. The vestry
of the church, however, declined to
accept, and instead has granted va
cation of three months to DR.. Nelson,
who will go to Cuba some time this
month and remain until the latter
part of April. We learn that he will
then return to Shepherdstown and
continue his services to the congrega-
ton as usual. DR.. Nelson is not de-
sirous of severing his relations with
the congregation here, but only pre-
sented his resignation as matter OF
form because he wished to spend a few
months in Cuba in connection with
missionary labors to which he was
urgently called by the missionary
board Of the Episcopal Church. DIR.
Nelson is still rector of the church

Snain's Sunken Ships Floated.

Perhaps the greatest mechanical feat
of the century has been the raising of
some of the Spanish warships which
were apparently shot to pieces at Santi-
ago. 1t seemed utterly impossible to
float them. because Of the terrible dam
age inflicted by our guns, but the task
has been accomplished. Diseases of
the blood. stomach and liver frequently
wreck the health so that there appears
to be no chance OF recovery. But when
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is taken,
the disordered system is speedily re-
stored to its old-time vigor and tone.
The Bitters will regulate the liver,
bowels, and digestive functions and
purify the blood. You can buy this
remedy in any drug store, and under no
circumstances should you accept any
thing said to be Just as good.

that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure known to the

constitutional disease requires conSti-

is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
