Jubal Young, ayoung man of this place,
shot Mrs. Taylor Morrison Wednesday
evening while she was sitting on the front
porch of her residence on Washington
street. The ball struck her left shoulder
and passed out through her back, making
painful but not serious wound. With
out any warning Young walked up to her
and fired, her husband and son being on
the porch with her. Hethen ran through
the street to the business place of his un-
Gle, where he was arrested by Mayor
Washington. who happened to be near
there. A little more than year ago
Young entered the residence of Mrs.
Morrison through window, and hearing
some one in the hall she shot at him in
the dark. slightly injuring him. He was
arrested and on hearing was adjudged
to be insane. He was subsequently sent
to the insane asylum at Weston, where
he remained few months and was dis
as cured. He returned to this
place and has on several occasions shown
marks of insanity, and his action wednes-
day night is said to have been caused by
his deranged mind.

Col. Davis WIN STICK.


Our friends the enemy have been very
much concerned since the nomination Of
Col. Thomas B. Davis for Congress in this
district, and reports that he would not
stick, or would Withdraw, have been freely
circulated the wish being father to the
thought. as we have no doubt, in the mat
ter. Col. Davis has, however, in con-
versation with a Baltimore Sun cores
pondent at Romney, set the matter at
rest for once and all, saying emphatically .
:. You can say for me that this report
is absolutely without foundation. There
is not a scintilla of truth in it. was not
a candidate, in the strict sense, but since
the party has named me for the position
am in the fight and will stay in it to the
end What is more, am confident of
my election. Ifthere isany Withdrawing
from the ticket some one elsewill have to
do it. repeat that since have been
nominated shall make the fight. and
intend to be elected. .

The camp ground and arrangements
fo- meeting in the Higginbotham woods
at Wheatland reflect great credit upon
the pastor, Rev F A. Strother, and those
associated with him in this laudable en-
terPrize. Although only a woods meet
ing was anticipated. the conveniences
are as complete as at a. first-class camp
meeting. Nothing has been omitted to
provide comfortably for the public. and
one cannot see how it is possible for any
person who delights in the worship of
God to spend week or ten days more
profitably during the summer season than
at Wheatland camp ground. The board
ing arrangements are complete. The
preacher in charge informs us that the
published programme will be carried out
fully. The public can rest assured that
the meeting will be conducted in most
cteditable way when they know the COM
mittee consists of Messrs S H Higgin-
botham, Chairman; L Burns, treasurer:
r H Higginbotham, Secretary; c Alton
and Frank Gordon, with Rev F A
Strother the preacher in charge. All
trains stop at the grounds.

place, and made the trip here by buggy.

leaving here for Strasburg, Va, last

the shade to lunch. when their horse be-
came frightened at the mill wheel and
ran away, going through board fence,
over a stone wall and across the fields,
literally demolishing the buggy, and
bruising and cutting himself quite badly.
Though not sustaining bodily injury
themselves, Mr. and Mrs Barr were leftin
a sorry plight; but kindly disposed
strangers came to their aid, the horse was
caught in Winchester. and they proceed
ed to Strasburg by rail. May they have
better luck on their next trip to the Shen-
andoah Valley.

CUSTOM GARMENT rAKINd.

I wish 10 inform my friends and the
public generally that have moved in the
new room now being fitted up for me in
the Hagley building "a few doors from
Racket store about April 1st. I antici
pate very large spring trade, and will
use my best efforts to raise and maintain
the standard of custom garment making
to the highest level possible, in order to
counteract the many spurious limitations
of legitimate tailoring that have been
foisted upon the public. AS to my new
samples for the coming season, it is hardly
necessary for me to dwell on them. All
l can say is that I used the very best
ability and matured experience in select
ing complete assortment of styles and
qualities. promise You also in the flu
ture. as in the past, the same courteous
and liberal treatment, and last, but not
least, arerfect fit. Yours &c.

1t is our opinion that the Democrats in
Convention at Martinsburg last Wednes-
day in selecting our townsman, Col. F.
w. Brown, as Presidential Elector, acted
wisely. AS an advocate or prosecutor in
the courts he is always strong and logical,
pathetic or humorous as conditions sug-
gest, and at times his speeches have a
Observation-Disclosures character Hehas.
also, ready wit that serves him well.
He will make good use of his talents on
the hustings, no doubt, and be effective
as well as entertaining. He will be an
antagonist worthy of the steel of the best
of Republican orators of the State or
district who may cross words with him.

Fish Commissioner George NJ. Bowers
has received number of offers of sites
for the new fish hatchery to be built in
West Virginia under the terms of the
bill passed at the last session of Congress
which appropriated S2s, 900 for the pur-
pose. Mr.. Bowers will inspect these sites
in month or so, after which he will Sc
lect the most desirable one. He wants a
site on or near clear. cold stream that
will be favorable to the propagation of
trout and bass. The plant will follow the
model OF the hatchery at Worthwhile
Mich, and will consist of two 2-story frame
buildings, with stone foundations. one a
dwelling for the keeper and the other the
hatchery proper. together with suitable
ponds and weirs. 1t will be as fine a plant
as there is in the country, as Mr.. Bowers
will take especial pride in it for per-
sonal reasons. The attention of Mr..
Bowers has been called to the excellent
a lvantages Of Flowing Spring, near this
place. as a site for this hatchery. and he
informed us personally last week that he
proposes to make this hatchery something
thorough and creditable in every particu-
lar. and that he will visit and inspect
Flowing Spring and another locality in
jefferson, and will locate where deemed
best regardless of county.

Stephenson Seminary has decided to
offer course of entertainments to the
people of Charles Town and communitv
for the coming season. The course will
consist of lecture, reading and one
concert, or possibly two. Those who
have the matter in charge are determined
to offer only what is good. The lecture.
which is illustrated, will be deep enough
for the old and entertaining and instruc-
tive for the young. The reading will be
by a profes sional elocutionist, whose
choice may be one of the recent books or
one of Shakespeare'sp plays. The CONCERT
or concerts will be by a company of
singers, harpist, viol1nist and pianist.
AT this time no arrangements can be
final, as the realization of the plan de
ponds upon the number of season tickets
engaged. In few days blanks will be
circulated, to be filed in with Your name
and the number of tickets desired. and
the Seminary will be very much gratified
if you will kindly return these as soon as
possible. in order that the bargain NAV
be closed with the bureaus with whom
they are in correspondence, and hope for
cordial response. as they are sure YOU
will not be disappointed.

[Joufrai Of Health.l


Rolls, mullins. biscnitsi cake, etc. now
generally made by the aid of baking pow Z
der, enter SO largely into our daily food
that their debasement by the Introduction
of injurious substances is matter of Sc
rious concern to the public health. What
baking powder shall we use to protect
ourselves against the danger from alum,
and to insure pure. wholesome and putri-
.tious food, is a question of vital impor-
lance for consideration in every house
hold.
1t is fact that some of the brands of
baking powder sold from many grocery
stores are made from poisonous burnt
alum. There are no marks to designate
them, and both grocer and purchaser are
unaware of their dangerous character.
Many have suffered from digestive dis
orders arising from food made with alum
baking powders. 1t is likewise believed
by physicians that to the absorption Of
alum into the blood are due many of,those
obscure nervous diseases from which peo
pie suGer.
A pure grape cream of tartar powder
is the only kind that can be relied upon
and while it costs little more, it isbettel
to pay the difference than to use alum
powders which may ruin your health.
The family expenses cannot be reduced
in this way. Doctors bills cost more
than the little saving that can possibly
be made by purchasing the cheap. adul
terated brands.
