Stabbing ARRAY.

A serious stabbing ARRAY occurred
in Charles Town on Monday, when
Melvin Jones, of that place, former
resident of Shepherd.town, was badly
cut by Charles Branham, of Berryville.
1t seems that Jones, who works for j..
w. Russell, was making some repairs
to the bar at the Carter House, when
with little or no warning Branham
made lunge at him with knife, cut
ting an ugly cash in his neck and
narrowly missing the jugular vein.
A colored man who was working there
was also stabbed by Branham, who
seems to have been in very savage
humor. He was arrested and a hear
ing held before Magistrate Gallaher,
who committed him to jail to await
the action of the grand jury on the
charge of malicious cutting. 1t seems
that Branham and Jones had had a
difficulty some time ago, but the latter
was utterly unprepared for the assault,
and in fact did not recognize his as
sailant until after he was cut.

Answering the Last Summons.

Death came like thief in the night
to Mr.. George W. Humrickbouse, one
of Shepherdstown's oldest and best
known citizens, on Tuesday evening
of this week. During the day he was
seen upon our streets in his usual health
and was sitting on his porch until al
most seven o'clock, with no symptom
of the approaching summons of the
grim reaper. About seven o'clock he
became suddenly i'll with heart trouble,
and DR.. Banks was hastily summoned.
He administered remedies and pres
emily went to the drug store. Mr..

tack, and before the doctor could

and raised in Shepberdstown, and who
lived here all his life, was 76 years Of

for man of his years, and worked

war, and was detailed as a musician,
continuing until the close of the war,
as a member of the Famous Stonewall
Brigade Band. He always took an
active interest in public affairs, and
had very decided views upon every
topic of interest. He was a member
of the town council a number of times,
and was mayor of the town for cou-
pie of terms. In politics he was an
ardent Democrat. Mr.. Humrickhouse
was a man ofkind heart and had many
excellent qualities that commended
him to his friends. He is survived
by two sons and one daughter, Samuel
P. and CIV. Humrickhouse, of this
place, and Mrs. Boyd Keller, of New
York. He was member ofthe Luth-
eran church, and his funeral will take
place from that church this Thursday

HAS SOME FOUNDATION.
Yukon Instruction Story Is Not En-
 treIy imaginary.

Toronto, Ont, November 20-A special dispatch from Vancouver published here says: u
 The Yukon insurrection story is not altogether without foundation. Some half-brained Americans drew up plans for forcibly deposing the Governor and police on the Yukon, somewhat similar to the historical Jameson raid in the Transvaal. Major Woods, N w M. P., discovered the scheme and took prompt steps to suppress it, American officials at Skagway cooperating
 The discovery of the scheme is sup posed to have nipped it in the bud. The Yukon police force consists of about 25) men, who are provided with ee-Enfields When the scheme was first discovered Maxim and Colt guns were mounted at White Horse, which was the first place to be attacked. Major Snyder, in charge of the police there, also received rein forcements and patrols were kept on duty night and day.
 It Is said the scheme originated in Se- attle and s25O,OOO was available to aid the venture The information has been ob- tained from ex-police officers of the Yu- kor force and members of the gambling fraternity, who have come to the coast cities for the winter and is guardedly confirmed by the officials who have just come down from the north.

ESTION,

Many things you fear about your stom- ach cannot be true. If you have had indigestion or dyspepsia for years it is natural to be- lieve that the stomach itself is dis easted. It Is only the functions of the stomach that are impaired, This is the whole trouble in vast majority of cases and the proof can be had by trying Dr Harter's Iron Tonic.
 Your stomach has many things to do and failure to do any one of them leads to imperfect digestion. The stomach gets ts nutriment and it's digestive fluids from the blood. If the blood is impure or lacks the right proportion of strength-produc- ing iron. the whole body suffers from a kind of breaking down process.
 To restore health you must start at he source of life itself-the bIood-and through that vital fluid build up tbe stomach and other vital organs
 Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic has cured thousands of cases of indigestion and dyspepsia every year for the past fortv- five years. It is the one remedy you can take with certainty of immediate i'm provement and sure cure
 It is prepared with scientific accuracy and many eminent physicians prescribe if constantly. Faithful use of 1t will on able you to digest your food as perfectly as you ever have. Prepared only bv Tho Dr. Harter Medicine Co.,. Dayton, o. Sold everywhere.

CAUSE OF DEAFNESS.
The Most Common Cause Only Re-
 gently Discovered.

It has been stated on good medical au- thority that nine-tenths of cases of deaf ness are caused from catarrh or from sore throat trouble.
 The little tube which leads to the ear from the throat is lined with sort of velvetry structure called mucous mem brane. This membrane is simply a contin- uation of the mucous membrane lining the throat. When disease of any sort at tacks the mucous membrane of the throat 1t is very liable to extend into the Eustachian tube and up into the ear.
 The history of nearly all cases of deaf ness is like this: A cold Is contracted and neglected, other colds are taken the throat becomes sore and infiamed, which germs from the air. This condition causes the disease to spread into the tube that leads to the ear.
 It seems a little far fetched to say that most cases of deafness are caused from catarrh, but 1t is certainly true, and any one. who has had a severe catarrhal cold must have noticed how the hearing was affected while the cold lasted.
 With catarrh sufferers this impairment of hearing becomes chronic and grows worse the longer the catarrh is neg lected.
 You can cure catarrh and deafness by the regular use of an excellent new prep aration called Stuarts Catarrh Tablets, composed of antiseptic remedies which act both on the mucous membranes but principally and most effectually on the blood, eliminating the catarrhal poison from the system.
 People whose hearing is defective may think it a little remarkable that a sim pie and harmless tablet would very often remove all traces of deafness, but when it is remembered that catarrh causes the deafness and that catarrh is easily cured by the regular use of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets there Is no mystery about it.
 If you are subject to nasal catarrh or catarrh of throat bronchial tubes or ca- tarrh of stomech and liver the safest and most effective treatment Is the new catarrh specific, Stuart's Catarrh Tab lets, sold by all druggists at 50 cts. for full sized package.
