Leo Costello, the 12-year old son of Martin Costello was killed at Fairbank Saturday afternoon by the accidental discharge of his rifle. The little fell low had been hunting with some of his boy companions and when the accident occurred he was standing with the rifle resting against his breast, the muzzle reaching a point close to the heart. The bullet penetrated his body, passing clear through and resulting in instan- taneous death. The father of the boy is one of the wealthiest men in Cochise county, and is well known.

The trouble over the battle of San
tiago has reached the acute stage, and
it is possible that the famous action of
our Navy will now be followed by
still more intricate contest in the
courts. One E. S. Maclay, who sets
himself up as historian, has recently
published a History of the United
States Navy, in which he attacks Rear
Admiral w. S. Schley in the most
vicious manner, calling him coward,
a caitiff and liar in 80 M any words.
Admiral Schley has most commend
ably held his tongue all through the
controversy over this famous fight, but
the bitterness and publicity of Maclay's
attack, which it is believed is inspired
by higher officers in the Navy, COM
pels him to take action. He has
called for court of inquiry to consid-
er the charges growing out of the
Cuban campaign, and it is said will
also bring civil action against Maclay.
There seems to be a powerful opposi-
ton to Schley in the Navy, and per-
haps a public investigation of the
whole subject may be of advantage in
bringing to light some facts that the
public do not understand.
But the people are going to get
awfully tired of the battle Of Santiago.

The Union loss is said to have been

Of the Shepherdstown veterans rath-
er good story Of one of the members OF
Company B, from this place. 1t was
the day before the battle, and the Con-
federate soldiers were making their
long and weary march across the
mountains toward Bull Run. The dis
comforts were great and there was
good deal of grumbling. Tom W
finally broke out in open mutiny. "lll
tell you one thing. boys" said he,
General Jackson will rue the day
when he ever brought me across these
mountains. Mind what l say" 80,
shut up, Tom, said one of his COM
rades; you'll be the first one to cheer
Old Jack when he comes this way.
"Never! Never said Tom, and he
continued to express his opinion of an
officer who compelled his men to make
marches that would tire out horse.
A few moments later General Jackson
came riding along the line at a gallop
on his familiar sorrel mare. As Tom
caught sight of the man whom every
one of the soldiers had already
learned to love so well his face lighted
up. "Hoorayl" he yelled, and his cap
was thrown into the air further than
that of any man in his company. He
looked a little sheepish when the other
fellows reminded him of his threats
short time before, but he quit his
growing and the next day he was in
his place among those immortal heroes
who were standing in the face of shot
and shell like stone wall"

closed a somewhat peculiar contract
with the Baldwin Locomotive Works.
Ten locomotives for freight service,
each to the value of$l4,O00, have been

the Western Maryland Company binds
itself to pay $3,823.75 as a monthly

almost unbearable discomfort to the

the temperature has reached as high

PosTMAsTER-GENERAL SMITH has
recently issued orders radically chang
ing the regulations relating to the
handling Of second-class mail matter.
Instead of going through at the regu-
lar newspaper postage, publications
that have the characteristics Of books
will be charged a much higher rate.
1t is said that the government will
save millions year, as it is now car.
rying such mail matter at a great loss.
The express companies will profit by
the new order, for the business that
has been going through the mails will
come to them. and they were probably
at the bottom Of the agitation that has
led to the order referred to. The
Postmaster General has made a sort
Of promise if the government saves as
much as he hopes that one-cent letter
postage will soon come. If he shall
bring about this boon we will forgive
him for playing into the hands of the
express companies.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an intlamed con-
dItion Of the mucous lining of the EuS-
tachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever, nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case Of Deafness Caused by Ca
tarrh) that can not be cured by Halls
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

An unusual condition of farm life
has presented itself in Western Penn
sylvania, and it is a common sight to
see white women laboring in the field.
Women and girls not only go out and
dig potatoes on their own patches of
land, but they are hiring out in great
numbers to do farm work for others.
There is famine of men laborers for
the farms, and unless the women did
the work the crops could not be plant
ed or harvested. A woman at the
Bethel farm, near Sharon, has just fin
ished the blowing of an 80-acre field
alone. The scarcity of farm laborers
is due to the fact that the iron and
steel mills offer the men better wages.

dollars. She seized a handful of them
and threw them at Coburn. One cut

William Brooks, Virginia negro
who was working on new railroad,
was lynched at Elkins Monday night
by crowd of 400 men for the murder
of Robert Lilly, chief of police. Lilly
attempted to arrest Brooks, who had
quarreled with colored woman. He
broke away and then turned and fired
two bullets, one of which entered Lii
ly's abdomen and the other penetrating
the shoulder. Brooks tried to escape,
but was soon caught and lodged in the
city lookup. There had been several
murders in Elkins and vicinity the
past four months, the murderers in
each instance escaping, and it was
openly said that the next murderer
would be lynched. AS Brooks was
being taken from the lookup to the
depot to be removed to jail at Beverly,
two hours after he shot Lilly, the mob
took him from the officers and dragged
him quite distance to tree in the
city park, where he was strung up.
Brooks was badly lacerated from being
dragged, He begged for mercy all
the way and was almost dead before
he was strung up. Brooks body
dangled on the tree in the public park
in Elkins, where the mob strung him,
until II o'clock next morning. The
coroner's jury rendered a verdict that
Brooks came to his death at the hands
of persons unknown. Thousands of
persons, including women and children,
viewed the half-nude body before it
was cut down, and.photographers took
snapshots of it and sold over 1000
pictures. People from nearby towns
were attracted by the unusual sight.

therefrom, it remains for America to
produce an absolutely reliable remedy
for such common diseases. This rem

it has never been equalled. 1t has an
