Billy Bowman has left Baltimore
and is at his home at Rowlesburg,
where he will be for a week or so. He
says in letter that he was not given
a chance by Baltimore, and would
have gotten no show except when a
pitcher had been knocked out or the
game was already won by him. He
will shortly join another team. Bow
man has pitched several games in the
mining region this summer.

Miss Bessie List and Miss Lydia Good, of
Mountain Lake Park, the Victims.
Monday afternoon Misses Bessie
List and Lydia Good, of the Park,
were driving a horse attached to a
light runabout from the Park to Oak
land and while passing along Oak
street near Fourth something went
wrong with the shaft of the vehicle
which frightened the horse and caus-
ed it to run away. Miss List, who
was driving, soon lost control of the
animal and it went at full speed down
the street. AT the corner of Third
street 1t made turn and ran upon
the pavement, tearing down several
tree boxes and upsetting the vehicle,
throwing Miss List and Miss Good
with terrific force to the sidewalk.
The former sustained a severe and
very painful cut to her left arm, her
face and ear, besides numerous minor
bruises. Miss Good escaped with in
Juries OF no consequence, but was
was badly frightened. The injured
lady was taken across the street to
Mrs. Waters residence where she was
attended by Drs. McComas and Hine-
baugh and later conveyed to the hos
pital where her injuries were dressed
and thence in company with Miss
Good to her home.
After the runabout upset the horse
broke entirely away from it and ran
on down the street The vehicle was
almost completely wrecked.

Isn't it about time the Improve

some of the town pavements? On
some of the main streets it is unsafe
to walk through the day, let alone at
night. Attention has been called to
this matter times without number
this spring, but nothing has been
done. Ofcourse it will be much more
pleasant for the corporation to stand
a damage suit, if some one breaks a

repair these pavements.

with his family and friends.
Messrs. Raymond and Whitman are
doing a good business at the Loeb
Lynn and the hotel is the best place
on the mountains beyond a doubt.
The building is newly painted and
decorated inside and out, and the
grounds are in excellent order and
adorned with flowers and plants. The
table is well supplied and the general
air of cleanliness, comfort and ele-
gance is noticeable at all times. The
boys know their business thoroughly
and are using their knowledge for the
benefit of their guests.
The old Hotel Chautauqua has been
refurnished and enlarged and is very
popular under the management of its
owner, Mr.. Choate. Mrs. Virginia
Slime has charge of the dining room
and cuisine, and the hotel is up-to-
date and highly satisfactory to its
guests.
The new electric light plant is all
that that could be desired. The street
lights are ample and the current for
domestic purposes cannot be excelled.
1t is all a most welcome relief from
the intermittent service heretofore
had.
The water supply is not yet entire
ly satisfactory, though much improv-
ed over its former self. The numerous
excellent wells on the grounds furnish
an adequate supply for domestic use.
1t is understood that the Garrett
Water and Light Company will put
i'll a complete water system soon, and
it will be first-class and the supply
entirely adequate.
A street car line between here and
Oakland via Weber's would be a great
convenience and would pay. 1t will
come, too, for the people now behind
these improvements are determined
to have Mountain Lake Park modern,
up-to-date and the best and most
sensible summer resort in America.
The Chautauqua program is the
best in the history of this place.
William Jennings Bryan comes on
the second day.
Captain Richmond Pearson Hobson
is to return this year. His lecture
last year was a revelation. Hobson
is broad and sensible. His words are
full of wisdom and his manner and
style are fine. He is a genuine patriot,
plain, unassuming, we'll bred, hon
est man, and he, in my opinion, is the
best attraction for this year. 1t will
pay to hear him and to find from OBJ
servation and contact what a fine,
manly, broad minded American he is.
The country will have reason to be
proud of him if he lives, entirely aside
from his daredevil exploit at San
tiago.
Captain Maulsby is here looking
well and enjoying the comforts of cot
tage life. He is always looking for a
good grip of his old friends here.
Judge Raymond has leased Hearts

Divorced From Brown Boughner.

Mrs. Marie Boughner was granted q
divorce by Judge Badger from Brown
Boughner. The latter was formerly
a reported on a local paper. They
were married December 81, 1901, at
Cleveland. 1t appears from the tes-
timony that the wife did not receive
proper attention while she was sick.
They lived together only few weeks
when she discovered that her hus-
band was addicted TO drink. She
charged him with cruelty and neg
lect. Mrs. Boughner who was restored
to her maiden name of Kline, said
she had learned that Boughner had,
since leaving the city, been working
at Boston, butwas now at Washing
ton. She had letters from his brother,
a business man at Fairmont, w. Va,
telling her of his former drink habits.

THE HOME GOLD CURE.
An IngeHinus Treatment by Which Drunk-
ards are Being Cured Daily in Spite
Of Treatment.


Of Treatment.
1t Is now generally known and un
derstood that Drunkenness is a disease
and not weakness. A body filed with
poison, aad nerves completely shat
tered by periodical or constant use of
intoxicating liquors, requires an anti
dote capable of neutralizing and eradi
eating this poison, and destroying the
craving for intoxicants. Sufferers
NAV now cure themselves at home
without publicity or loss of time from
business by this wonderful "Home
Gold Cure" which has been perfected
after many years of close study and
treatment of inehriates. The faithful
use according to directions of this won
derful discovery is positively guaran-
teed to cure the most obstinate case, no
matter how hard drinker. Our rec
cords show the marvellous transforma-
ton of thou sands of DRINKERS into
sober industrious and upright men.
Wives cure your husbandsl Children
cure your fathersl This remedy is in no
sense a nostrum but it is specific for
| this disease only, and is so skillfully
devised and prepared that it is thor
oughly soluable and pleasant to the
taste, so that it can be given in a cup
| of tea or coffee without the knowledge
of the person taking it. Thousands of
Drunkards have cured themselves with
this priceless remedy, and as many
more have been cured and made tenn

tives without their knowledge in cof-

Jacob Fletcher and his good wife
Mary had lived together the lives of
farmers for twenty years or more and
had never had an hours misunder-
standing. They had no children. but
their company was all sufficient for
each other, and at the age of forty-five
they were in the best of health and
without regrets. Then the serpent
crept in. He was the agent of a life
insurance company, and he sat down
In the kitchen where Mrs. Fletcher
was making pumpkin pies and talked
her to standstill. What he wanted
was to secure mutual insurance pol
icy by which the surviving husband
or wife would profit in the sum of
$4,000. The farmers wife had heard
of such things, but was opposed to
them, and the agent had to talk for
two long hours before he could secure
her promise to "talk to pa about it,
That night she did talk, though with
out any heart in it and was much re-
heved when the husband turned to
her and said:
MARY, it would be like flynn in the
face of the Lord, and 1 wouldn't think
of uch a thing"
He had to think, however. The agent
came back again and again, and at
length his persistency received its re-
ward. After much doubt and hesita-
ton a policy was duly taken out and
filed away in the bottom drawer of the
bureau, and the serpent had inflicted
its sting. That afternoon as the hus.
band followed the plow in the field he
found himself wondering whether he
or his wife would die first and whether
it would be good policy for him tC
build new barn out of that insurance
money in case he was the survivor
And the wife. as she sat peeling pota
toes for supper and opening the over
door now and then to look at the bak
ing bread, found herself wondering
what she should do with the farm anC
all that money in case Jacob met hi
death. Two or three days later a wind
mill agent called, and as he incidental
ly heard of the mutual insurance h.
laughed and said:
MAY be all right in your case, but
should look at it as a temptation t,
my wife to get rid of me. Husband
have been poisoned for less than So,
OOO."
He was speaking in levity, but h
sowed a seed. On that same day tn
wife Of a neighbor dropped in for
gossip, and of course she was toll
about the insurance policy. 1t strucl
her at first as a good thing, but tw
minutes later she held up her hand
andYexclaimed:
Iary Fletcher, do you know wha
you have done? You have prepare
your own grave!'
"'La, but how you talkw
'Yes, you have. There isn't hu:
band on the face of the earth wh

lar stairs and break her neck for S.

Here was another seed, and tn;

riage the farmer couple felt suspicio
and distrust. AS they sat together II

cided that In case of his death she
would surely marry again. She'd have
that insurance money. and she'd spend
it with liberal hand, and along would
come some piano man or sewing ma
chine agent and snap her up as prize.
She might possibly erect a fifteen dol
lar headstone over his grave, but she
wouldn't go a dollar higher, and the
clothes he left behind would be given
to some neighbor's hired man instead
of being preserved and wept over.
Thoughts as hard and bitter passed
through the mind of the wife. Jacob
had always been kind and loving, but
there had never been $1,000 at stake
before. With her out of the way and
that mo,scy in hand he would repaint

THEY CRUSH The POWERS

This is written in midi October. The long,
oppressive summer is quite gone. Fading
leaf, whitening tree and the rustling corn in
the fields are signs of the season. Fog,
frost, rain, snow,-they are coming. You
remember last winter; of 1900 and 1901.
The weather was cruel. Ahl the thous-
ands it killed, and the hundreds of thous-
ands it manned and crippled. Oh, the
rough grasp it laid on men at work, women
at home, and children in cribs and cradles.
Coughs that began before Thanksgiving
Day are racking and tearing them still; yes,
and growing worse as they dig deeper into
the poor, tired throat and lungs. Many
were cured by using Benson's Porous Plas-
ters. For the soothing and healing power
of these Plasters is wonderful. They con-
