Perhaps the archaeologists are so in
tent on deciding the exact period to
which the. findings belonged that the
human side of the matter does not
come into their minds; but if archae-
ologists were women, their first thought
in taking up the toys would be of the
mother heart of old Egypt that pinned

membrance, but gave them up that the
little one might have something to bear
it company on the long journey that
even tiny feet must travel alone.

Iwn Very Important Industries

While it may seem a broad statement,
it is probably true, that our railroads,
with their immense capitalization and
army Of employees, form one of the
mort important industries Of the coun-
try. The other very important indus
try the manufacture of that celebrated
remedy, Hostetter's Stomach Bltters.
1t is compounded with the greatest
care, and contains nothing that would
iniure the most delicate system. 1t is
backed by record Of fifty years of cures
of sick-hesdaChe indigestIo., fiatulen-
cy, belching, dyspepsia, liver and kid,
ncy troubles, and malaria, fever and
ague. 1t is spring medicine and
blood purifier, and as Il tonic for the
run down system it is unequalled. Try
it. Our Private Stamp is over the neck
Of the bottle.

Cochnower Turns Up Again,

The missing George w. Cochnower'
who disappeared from Washington D.
c., two months ago, and who was sup
posed to have been drowned IN the
Potomac shortly before the recent
food, has been located in st. Louis,
Mo, where he has been living since
leaving Washington. He left home
without informing his parents, rela,
tives or friends as to his intentions,and
his young wife at her home in Green
castle, Pa, mourned him as dead. he
formerly lived in st. Louis, and his
mother recently went to that city IN
hopes of finding some trace of him
there. Mrs. Cochnower found him
there alive and well, and she sent a
special delivery letter containing the
news to George F. Cochnower, the
father of the young man, formerly of
Shepherdstown. Young Cochnower
will remain in st. Louis.

Hotel Shenandoah Burned.

The Shenandoah Hotel, formerly
known as Green's Mountain House,
on Loudoun Heights, near Harper's
Ferry, caught fire last Saturday about
noon and was burned to the ground
with all of its contents. Charles b..
Roach, of Hagerstown, was the owner
of the hotel, the original cost of which,
with furnishings, was about $25, 900.
Mr.. Roach had $4,000 insurance on
the property. Fred W. Roach, one
of the owners, and his wife occupied
the hotel and were getting it in shape
for the coming season. 1t is said the
fire started from a coaloil stove, which
exploded in one of the rooms. The
fire had made considerable progress
before it was discovered, and the
strong wind that was blowing caused
the flames to spread rapidly. The
occupants of the hotel were unable to
save any of the furniture and barely
had time to collect their personal be-
longings.
Hotel Shenandoah was the largest
summer hotel in the Harpers Ferry
resort region. 1t was three-story
frame structure and contained over
fifty rooms. The dining hall, kitchen,
ETC., were in building separate and
distinct from the hotel property. They
were saved.
1t is understood Mr.. Roach was ne
gotiating for the sale of the property
and would doubtless have disposed of
it at a good price, before the FIRE.
His loss will be heavy.

The spring meeting Of Winchester

Echoes from the Contest.

Just as we anticipated, Shepherd
College really ought to have received
the first prize at the inter-normal or
atorical contest at Grafton. Rev.
Edwin J. Hopkins publishes card in
the Sentinel in which he protests in
dignantly against the unjust decis-
ion" Of the judges, and says he has
not found one person who regarded
the decision as just one. He names
Mr.. Barnhart as one of three who
ought to have had first place. The
Sentinel in its account of the contest
says: among the contestants who
made favorable impression was Mr..
Barnhart, of the Sher herdstown Nor
NAL. Had the decision of the audi
ence counted, the prize would in all
probability have been given to either
Mr.. Barnhart or to Mr.. Hedrick, Of
the Concord Normal" We have
heard many expressions to the effect
that the representative of Shepherd
College was entitled to the first prize.
The awarding of the prizes was
distinct victory for Miss Mary Wyville
Syme, the elocution teacher Of Shsp-
herd College. She had trained three
of the contestants in oratory-C. B.
Hedrick, of Athens, E. H. Bsrnhart,
of Shepherdstown, and B. c. Jones,
Of Huntington. The judges gave Mr..
Hedrick first place on delivery, Mr..
Barnhart second and Mr.. Jones ranked
pretty close to them. The careful
training of Miss Syme's pupils was
very perceptible, and she cannot but
feel complimented at the result. She
is a most capable teacher.
A very pleasant reception was given
by the senior class of Shepherd Col
lege last Friday evening as compli-
ment to Eugeue H. Barnhart, the con-
testant for the inter-normal prizs.
Mr.. 3arnhart gave an account Of his
trip, some excellent music was rem
dered, and the social features were
most enjoyable.
The Grafton Sentinel, in its account
of the intsr-normal contest, says:
Miss A. Salome Wlngate, music teach
err of the Shepherdstown Normal, cap
tivated the audience with her remark
ably sweet and ciear-toned voice in
the solos she so pleasingly rendered.

Meetings of the Town Council.

meetings. OF Inc lOWH COuHSll'
There have been several interesting
meetings of the town council the past
week. Last Thursday night special
meeting was held to reconsider the ap-
plication of Paul Bihler for recommen-
dation for license to open saloon.
Mayor Harrison stated the object Of
the meeting, when DR.. Butler made
the point Of order that the matter
could not be reconsidered except up
on motion of one of those who had
voted previously to lay the applica-
ton on the table. No one came to
the rescue, the point Of order was sus-
tanned, and Mr.. Bihler and his attor-
ney went way back and sat down. The
committee to arrange terms for en-
ployment Of town sergeant made
report recommending the payment Of
a salary of SIS month, with 3 per
cent for collection Of taxes, etc. Their
report was adopted.
Another meeting was held Sstur-
day afternoon. J. P. Watkins had
presented his application for license
with a string to it. He said be would
want the privilege to sell liquor pro-
vided that there was but one other
saloon in the town. Mayor Harrison
and Recorder Blllmyer refused to sign
the papers under these conditions.
A special meeting was called by Mr..
Watkins supporters. He waived all
the conditions he had formerly exact
ed, and his papers were accordingly
signed. Another effort was made to
do Justice to Mr.. Bihler, but a motion
to reconsider WAS lost.
A regular meeting Of the council
was held on Monday evening. Treas
urer Pofinberger offered DR.. Butler
as his bondsman, the bond being $500,
and the same was accepted. On mo.
ton of Mr.. Pofinberger, the council
ordered Mr.. Beltzhoover and the
Misses Magruder to have their porch
es changed to comply with the town
ordinance, the work to be done within
sixty days. The committee reported
III electric lights subscribed for,
the income from which was about $50
a month. Applications for the posi-
ton of town sergeant were read from
Charles Terrell, Abram Shepherd,
]. W. Cornell and John F. Maddox.
A motion to defer the election Of a
sergeant until next meeting prevailed.
The mayor suggested the election Of a
corporation attorney, but before ac-
ton was taken DR.. Butler moved an
adjournment and the motion was car
RED.

Ever Busy Death.

Mrs. Josephine Snyder, widow of
John H. Snyder, died at the home of
her sister-in- law, Mrs. Catharine Weis,
in Martinsburg early last Monday
morning. Mrs. Snyder had spent the
past year visiting her children and
other relatives in this State and in
Virginia, and recently was called to
Martinsburg by the Illness Of a rela-
tive. Here she became sick herself
with infammatory rheumatism, and
suffered intensely. Pleurisy and 9TH
sr complications set in, and early
Monday morning she passed away, in
the 10th year of her age. Mrs. Sny-
der was one Of the best women We
have ever known. Her life was one
filled with good deeds, and her great,
loving heart impelled her to broad
charity that made many life bright
er and happier. In sickness or dis
tress she was ever comfort and help,
and her friends and neighbors could
always depend upon her loving ad-
ministrations. Her kindly hand
soothed fevered brows into peaceful
rest, her sympathetic words cheered
the sorrowing all her long life, and
now that she has gone many shall rise
up to call her blessed. She was a
faithful member of the Lutheran
church, and her life was in all re-
spects an exemplary one. From our
earliest childhood days We have known
and loved her, and we pay this trfb-
ute to a genuinely good woman. Mrs.
Snyder, whose maiden name was
Mask, is survived by one brother, Mr..
Marshall Mask, of Plymouth, Pa, two
sisters, Mrs. Louisa Hydsr, Of Keyser,
and Mrs. VIM H. Kline, of Shepherds
town, and the following children:
Mrs. George F. Turner and Mrs. T.
L. Billmysr, Shepherdstown; Mrs.
Lawrence T. Hout, Warrenton, Va,
and Mr.. ]. W. Snyder, Bluefeld, W.
Va. The funeral was held yesterday
afternoon in the Lutheran church by
Rev. H. Max Lentz, the pastor, and
the remains were inferred in the Re-
formed cemetery.
Mr.. D. O. Maupin, one Of Hardy
county best citizens, and for years
editor of the NepS, died at his home
in Moorelield, W. Va, last week. He
was in his 10th year and had been i'll
for long time. Heleaves two daugh
tiers and one son, Mrs. E. o. Han
wood, Jr., of Moorefeld, Mrs. Blanche
Blackford, wife of ]. Yancey Black
ford, of Shenandoah Junction, and W.
F. Maupin, of New Orleans, to mourn
his loss. The deceased was brave
Confederate soldier during the civil
war and was a man Of the highest
character.
William B. Chambers died Tuesday
morning at his residence in Bolivar,
VI organic uedIG IlOuOIei olI1l a PiO
longed illness. He was in his 6Oth
year and an old resident and prOmi-
nent citizen. A widow and four
children survive him.
Mr.. John Kensel, one of Berkeley
county's oldest and most respected
citizens, died last week at the age of

crate army during the civil war.
