SAD FUNERAL AT KEEDYSVILLE
BEMAINs OF JOHN MILLER, OF H,
LAID TO REST.
Body of the Ill Fated Man Inferred In
Fairview Cemetery.

Keedysville, Nov. 2l-One of the
saddest funerals ever held in our town
took place yesterday afternoon when
the remains of Mr.. John Miller, of IL.
were taken to Mt. Vernon Reformed
church, where the services were con-
Quoted by Rev, b. h. Carnahan as
sisted by Rev. S. III. Smell. When re-
fiecting upon the atroclty of the crime,
the age of the victim and character of
the man who spent we'll nigh three
quarters of century among his fell
low beings in peace and harmony, the
strongest hearts heaved and tears roll
led down furrowed cheeks.
His remains were borne to their last
resting place in Fairview oemetry.

RURAL FREE DELIVERY SERVICE.
Positions Not to be brought into Civil
Service Before January 1.

There was another conference, in
VI - -tou between General Superin-
tt.uutut Machen. of the tree delivery
service, and the Civil Service Com
missioner Foulke over the proposed
taking into the civil service of the
rural free delivery carriers number
ing about six thousand and the force
of special agents, inspectors and others
in the executive office of that service,
numbering about two hundred.
AS a result it is very probable that
none of these positions will be brought
into the civil service before the begin
ming of the new year and that they
then will be brought in by one or
der. The executive offices affected
will have thu usual civil service status,
hut it is practically settled that there
will be no formal examination for the
car iers, their examination being pra-
ctically confnd 10 registration of an
plicatlons and relative fitness for the
office.

WAN TED.

By January 1st, 1902 an unlimited
quantity of sweet milk.
Our new curd system enabels us to
pay
MORE MONEY TO FARMERS
for milk than has ever been paid here
before. We have proven this at Green
village, Pa, and Maugansville, Md.
by putting in operation these idle
creameries which are now running
profitably to the farmers and what
has been done at these places can be
done here.
We have bought the Martinsburg
creamery plant and expect to have 1t
in operation by January End, 1902.
The price we can pay will be regu-
lated by the Philadelphia butter mar
ket, which now would be 20 cents per
pound for the butter yield and the
whey returned for feeding, or 20 cents
per pound on the butter weld and the
SKINNED milk returned. The loest
price we ever paid last summer was IS
cents. These prices are for milk de-
livered.
Those not wishing to deliver milk
will be charged 16 cents per 100 pounds
of milk for hauling.
We pay cash semi monthly.
Yours for business.

There will be strong effort made

on the free list and retain duty of
one-half cent per pound on refined
sugar. Ii we are TO have free raw
sugar. Why not have free sugar all
along the line?
Ii the PRINCIPAL of protection is to
pe applied to the refining of sugar why
not give to the grower in this country
the same fostering care.
Republican Senators and Congress
men will do we'll to consider these
questions before granting the demands
of refiners. If the principal of pro-
lection Is demanded by refners. to the
exclusion of those who produce the
raw, we may as we'll abandon all pro-
lection. and give the people free sugar
both raw and refined. The principal
of protection is either right or wrong,
if right. which we claim. then it should
not be denied to all industries needing
its shield. Watch the free raw sugar
advocate, for he is not unselfish.

That's Che condition of many sufferers
from catarrh, especially in the morning.
Great difficulty is experienced in clear
ing the head and throat.
No wonder catarrh causes headache,
impairs the taste, smell and hearing,
pollutes the breath, deranges the stom-
ach and affects the appetite.
To cure catarrh treatment must be

ELMER JONES' TROUBLE.
Horse Kicked and Wagon Broke

Series of Misfor-

Elmer Jones' trials and trbuintions
last night were enough to discourage any
man and Elmer was thoroughly dis
grrSted after combination of misior-
tunes which surcly tried his patience.
Elmer borrowed one of Martin
krough's horses whose daily occupation
is To draN a garbage cart. The animals
chief characteristic is its proficiency in
the art of running away. Elmer also
borrowed Al lIllman's wagon and with
the Sloprart horse hitched TO the rickcty
vehicle hc started off for his residence
in lrwin'S Court, n proudly as if lie had
in hand Il coach and four.
Misfortune hrfrll him, however. before
he had gone Il square. The horse took
a notion to kick aud heat Il lively tattoo
on the wagon. "Now you quit dot. said

animal would not dcSist.
''Iou nisnble beast. wouldn' drive you
nohow," wae EImcr'> parting rebulic as
he went off to borrow Il horse from
Charlie Waters.
He succeeded in getting Charities horse
and all went well until Third street and
Railroad avenue was reached when Il
front wheel Of Al lIarman's wagon got
tired and dropped off by the wnysldr for
a rest. This WAS too much for ElmcrS
patience and he complained LOUDLY Of
his lot. Seems lax spectacle man
can't cit long in dis world nohow,' he
