A prominent young man of Hagers-
town is reported to have recently
been swindled out of couple thousand
dollars by party of New Workers,
who represented that they had a
scheme whereby they could beat the

getting the names of the winners and
then placing their money on the horses

E. P. Cohill, of Hancock, Nd,
started two years ago with 40 Angora
does, fenced in 90 acres of brush land
on the southeastern slope of Tonolway
Ridge, few miles west of Hancock.
The Angoras killed all the underbrush
and sprouts, and the land is now ready,
at small expense, to be planted in
apple trees. Mr.. Cohill'S flock in two
years has increased to 140 head Of
sleek and fat Angoras. Mr.. Cohill's
son, William ]. Cohill, IA years of
age, is also a goat breeder. The boy

John L. Whiteman, a wealthy far
mer of Frederick county, Virginia,
went to Winchester Wednesday, and
returning home in the evening gave
to his wife all Of his important papers
and told her he was going to, die. He
was apparently in the best of health
when he retired that night and next
morning at 10 o'clock he was a corpse.
Death was due to cerebral hemorrhage.
At 5 o'clock Thursday morning his
wife was awakened by his choking
gasps and a physician was at once
summoned. He continued to grow
worse until death came.
About 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon
while six men were in James Kemp's
blacksmith shop in Sharpsburg an ex-
plosion of dynamite occurred which
might have had serious results. Mr..
Kemp was welding tire, when a
spark of fire flew into a small bucket
containing some powder. This pow
der was on a bench and about three
feet above it was suspended Il basket
containing stick and a-half Of dyna-
mite and eight dynamite caps. After
the powder exploded some one re-
marked at is fortunate that was
not dynamite. Kemp replied :
There is some dynamite back there. I"
Looking toward the place indicated,
the dynamite was discovered to be on
fire. The men quickly got out, and
in minute or two the dynamite ex-
ploded. The shop was badly dam
aged, bit luckily no one was hurt.

There Is one rational way to treat

nasal catarrh the medicine is applied
direct to the affected membrane. The
remdy is Ely's Cream Balm. 1t restores
the intlamed tissues to healthy state
without drying all the life out of them
and it gives back the lost senses of taste
and smell. The sufferer who is tired
of vain experiments should use Cream
Balm. Druggists sell it for so cts. Ely

A strange tale comes from classic
Boston. During the last few months
there have been no less than fifteen
mysterious attacks upon women in
Boston and suburban towns, and two
of them resulted in death. Tuesday
the police arrested Alan G. Mason, g
wealthy and prominent business man,
of the organ and piano firm of Mason
& Hamlin, charging him with the
crimes. He had been in an asylum
for the insane, but was released.

A BETTER fight has never been put
up in this congressional district than
that which was waged in the past
campaign by the Democratic commit
tee. Chairman John J. Cornwell and
Secretary A. J. Wilkinson were alert
and aggressive from the very begin
ming, and they left nothing undone to
bring success to the party they repre-
scented. We salute them.

WHILE much bitterness and strife
prevailed in many parts of West Vir-
ginia during the campaign just ended,
We are glad of the fact that there was
so little i'll feeling in Jefferson county.
Democrats and Republicans fought
each other from the shoulder, but
there were no personal animosities,
and now that the contest ia over and
political issues decided there are no
wounds to keep up soreness. Our
people are friendly and are satisfied
to end the war.

BEFORE election the Republicans
made many promises that they would
regulate the trusts. Now that they
will have full control of every branch
of the government, let US see if they
will fulfill these promises. We con-
fess that we anticipate at least two
years more Of clover for the trusts.

The election in Shepherdstown was
a very quiet one, there being not a
suspicion of disorder Of any sort.
There was much less interest than u.s.
ual, and the full vote was not polled.
The three precincts in the town gave
a Democratic majority of 129, fall
ing off of Sc compared with the vote
of two years ago. The day was an
ideal one so far as the weather was
concerned, the atmosphere being mild
and balmy.

less. The Republicans fought hard
to hold their own-and didn't do it.

but the trouble is that they will also
squeeze just as hard those who opposed

SHOTGUN
Prescriptions

suppose we are not revealing
any trade secrets when we say
that many medicines are made up
on the principle of the so-called
shotgun prescriptions " which
were formerly somewhat in vogue.
The idea of the shotgun pre-
scriptions was to put into a medi-
cine a large number of different
drugs, each useful for different
purposes, in the hope that some
of them might hit the case.
The most successful physicians
we know use more direct method.
The medicine we sell over our own
name and guarantee does the same.
This medicine is called Vinol. 1t
is the best thing we know for a run
down condition, for nerve troubles,
for lung troubles, for weak women,
pale children, and old people in
fact, it is a safe, pleasant, reliable
tonic and RECONSTRUCTION.
1t is not a scattering "shot-gun
prescription" but it goes straight
to the mark, and has cured so
many people right here in town,
that it gives us confidence to
sell it on an absolute guarantee,
as follows: If you use bottle and
it does not help you, we'll give
you your money back without a
word of complaint.
We could not afford to guarantee
it so boldly if we had not seen it
succeed in ninety-eight out of every
one hundred cases.

steady Improvement In Sentiment
Against the Drink Custom
Curse of Treating Habit

NJ. Jules Cambon, ambassador OF
France to the United States, has been
interviewed at Paris, where he was
enjoying his vacation. Among pleas
Ing things he said to an interviewer
is the assertion that there may be
some hypocrites among the Amer
deans, but the vast majority abstain
from strong drink, to the great ad-
vantage of the race, which for a
time threatened to lapse into drunk
enneSs." That there was during the
Last quarter of a century "a marked
improvement in social habits in this
country is undeniable. 1t was mos
conspicuous in public life. Contem-
porary annals conclusively show that
earlier epochs were characterized by
sorgies correspondent to the bestiality
of British social and public life dur
Ding the close of the revolution pc
ricd, when gambling, drinking aud
shameless excuses of every nature
were familiar among all grades of
society. In this country slavery un-
doubtedly aggravated license. In the
north there was more necessity for
the whites to work; there was less
time for carousal. The wave of ia.
ther MathCwism sent an eddy over
here; it was not potent, but was ex.
emplary.
1t is within the memory of the liv.
ing that New Years day used to be
a protracted debauch. The most re-
