A Village Blacksmith Saved His Little
Sons Life.

Mr.. H. H. Black, the well-known
village blacksmith at Grahamsville,
Sullivan Co., n. Y, says: "Our little
son, five years old, has always been
subject to Group, and so bad have the
attacks been that we have feared
many times that he would die. We
have had the doctor and used many
medicines, but Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is now our sole reliance. 1t
seems to dissolve the tough mucous
and by giving frequent doses when
the croupy symptoms appear we have
found that the dreaded Group is cured
before it gets settled" There is no
danger in giving this remedy for it
contains no opium or other injurious
drug and may be. given as confidently
to babe as to an adult. For sale at

The End of the World in 1914

A famous scientist predicts that the
world will come to an end in 1914, bas-
ing his calculation on the revelations of
the Bible If this is so, it is well for US
to get what pleasure we can out of the
few years that remain for us to live.
One of the sureSt ways to enjoy life is
the possession of good health, and Il
well regulated stomach. Hostetter' S
Stomach Bitters will enable anyone to
obtain this. 1t is the gratest medicine
for the cure of ills that arise from bad
stomach. 1t cures dyspepsia. cOnstipa-
ton, fever and ague, malaria, rheuma-
tlsm and insomnia. No other medicine
can show a record equal to Hostetter' S
Stomach Bitters, the standard medicine
of the American people for over fifty
years

School Capitalization.

In consideration that a new schooI
huilding is being erected in Shepherds
town. and that-no small per cent OF the
enrolment of the public school OF the
town is made up of pupils living out OF
town. method adopted and practlced
much in New England and some OF the
! Western States might interest the pa
irons of the school. And especially II
mipht interest those who live at some
distance from Shepherdstown and at
tend the public school. 1t is known as
q system of Capitalization whereby all
! the children of maglsterlal district re-
ceive the same advantages in regard to
education. Otherwise the pupil living
in town has much better opportunities
for receiving a thorough education. 10
overcome the disadvantages ana 10 give
them all the same opportunity, the
! Board of Education Of the district, IN
conjunction with the School Board OF
the town, provide means of transporting
all the children of the district TO and
from town every day school is in session
At a first glance such a system would
seem entirely unpraCticable, but trials
| of this plan at different places have prov
en- that it is entirely feasible. All the
details of il cannot be given, but the
| chief ones are somewhat as follows At
| from eight to nine o'clock every morn
| ing there are four or five large wagons,
according TO the number needed, sent
out the main roads from the town, these
| gather up the children along that road.
| Those not living exactly on the road
meet the wagon at some point The
children are delivered at the school
building by nine clock. At four O clock
the wagons are ready TO haul them back
to their homes. This applies only to
children living at Il distance in the cOun-
try. The distance hardly ever exceeds
four or five miles from the town, and the
area of the school district from 81 to 100
square miles. The vans or wagons used
are built especially for the occasion, are
heated by a small. stove and dellYer the
children at the building warm and dry.
There are many advantages for such
a plan. The most important is the bet
ter advantages to be obtained in grad
ed school 1t is the only solution thus
far for the ungraded country school. OF
course it presuppOscS school building
large enough to accommodate all in the
district. The cost of maintaining such
an arrangement when once in operation
is claimed to be less than the plan on
which our schools are conducted at pres
ent. In graded school teacher is able
to manage more pupils than in an un-
graded school, so there would be less
number of teachers needed. The cost
of heating, janitor service and insurance
is less for one large building than a num-
Der of smaller ones These differences
it is maintained Will transport the pupils
to the school. The Capitalization of
school work will be carried into effect
more and more as the population in
creases. It's the surest and most effect
i've way of making better school sys-
TEN.
Should the people of the vicinity Of
Shepherdstown feel desire to take a
greater advantage of the graded school,
plan somewhat like the one given
might be provided for.

New York State went Republican
by about 1000 plurality. Greater
New York (the city and surrounding
towns, which gave Mckinley $4,000
majority in 1896, gave Bryan $4,000
majority on Tuesday, gain Of $4,000
for the Democrats, but this was not
nearly enough to overcome the great
majority up the State for Mckinley.
The Republicans had about the same
vote as in 1896, but the Democrats
made heavy gains. The Republicans
carried New York four years ago by
268,OOO.
Michigan gave Mckinley $4,000
plurality, Iowa gave him 10000, Wis
consin $4,000, Pennsylvania $4,000,
Illinois 100000, Indiana $4,000.
Bryan carried Texas by $4,000
plurality, Virginia by $4,000, North
Carolina by 1900, Montana by 49,
900, Tennessee by $4,000, Georgia by
10000, and Arkansas and the other
Southern States by about the usual
majorities.
Nebraska seems to be very close,
but the Democrats claim it by about
1000 plurality. The Legislature will
probably be controlled by the fusion
lists, and there is already talk of elect
ing Bryan to the U United States Senate,
Bryan has probably carried Ken
lucky by from 1000 to 1000 plural
ity, and Beckham, the young Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor, by a
slightly reduced vote.
All of the New England States
went for Mckinley by slightly re-
duced majorities from 1896.
The Republicans swept the State Of
Maryland, electing everyone Of the
six Congressman. McKinley's plu-
rality is $4,000. Washington county
went Republican by GAL and Fred
erick by 500. In the sixth congress
sional district Pearre's majority over
Little is 3,088. In Baltimore city
Mckinley plurality was 6,056. Four
years ago it went Republican by d.
O92.
In Delaware, where it was 1t first
reported that the Democrats had car
ried the Legislature, the latest returns
indicate Republican majority on
Joint ballot of three. Mckinley car
ried the State by $500. The Demo-
Gratis will make fight for control of
the Legislature, which elects two
United States Senators.

Hare, leading druggist, of Belleville,
O., writes Electric Bitters are the best
selling bitters have handled in 20 years.
You know why? Most diseases begin in
disorders of stomach, liver, kidneys,
bowels, blood and nerves. Electric Bit
tiers tones up the stomach, regulates liver

Mckinley Wins.
A Clean Sweep by the Re-
publiCans.
WEST VIRGINIA LOST.
Republicans Elect State Ticket
and Garry the Legislature.

The election on Tuesday resulted
in the overwhelming election of Me-
Kinley and Roosevelt for President
and Vice-President of the United
States, and an increased Republican
majority in Congress, The United
States Senate will also continue to be
Republican, giving that party COM
plete control Of every branch of the
national government.
According to the latest returns,
Mckinley gets 2S4 Of the electoral
votes against 1913 for Bryan, giving
him plurality in the electoral col
Iege of l21. In 1896 Mckinley had
27l and Bryan 176, McKinley's plu-
rality being 95. Mckinley will have
an estimated plurality Of the popular
vote of 721 ,29l, against Col 1854 four
years ago. Mckinley carried q
States and Bryan IS. The President
carried every State he carried in 1896
except Kentucky, and got in addition
Kansas, South Dakota, Utah, Wash
ington and Wyoming, which went for
Bryan in 1896.
The indications are that the next
Senate will be composed Of 46 Repub-
Hcans, SO Democrats and the remain
der independents. In the House of
Representatives there will be 203 Re-
publicans, lis Democrats and four or
five independents.

THE REGISTER fought what its
friends say was a good fight during
the past campaign, and though the re-
suit was exactly the opposite of that
which It hoped for and desired, yet it
accepts the inevitable with as much
grace as possible. We have not said
anything in this paper that we ought
not to have said, for while we have
advocated the principles of our party,
no candidate has been vituperated nor
any mans motives impugned. We
have sought to be fair and conserva-
tive in all things. 1t is a gratifying
fact that of all of our Republican sub.
scribers only one man got mad at the
REGISTER and discontinued his sub.
scription. And we don't blame him
for we reckon he had cause.
We have been beaten in a fai,
fight, and the proper thing for Demo
Gratis to do is to give up gracefully anG
with good humor.

his party to victory. He has failed
utterly both times, and though we be-
lieve he would have filed the presi-
Dental chair with credit and ability,
and that his election would have been
best for the great body of American
people, he has been unable to so i'm
press the voters. The Democracy has
given him all the consideration he is
entitled to, and new candidate must
lead the party four years from now.

Mr.. Bryan is done for.

THERE'S no use crying over split
milk, but it may not be out Of place
to call attention to the fact that the
sixteen to one plank in the Demo
cratic platform, insisted upon by Mr..
Bryan and his enthusiastic followers,
very largely diminished the hope of
Democratic victory. The country had
once before emphatically rejected this
theory, and it was unnecessary and
suicidal to force the same issue upon
the people. The enthusiasts who in
sisted upon Mr.. Bryan and free silver
and had their way at Kansas City
should now give the more conservative
Democrats the lead. We confess that
we are among those who preferred
victory with some other leader than
defeat with Mr.. Bryan.
