The Tyfold Collar
The picture shows how the
collar is cut out on each side
to allow for adjusting a neck
tie without springing the col
lar open. The collar comes
close together in front, it keeps
the tie in place and you don't
see the cut-out part. Besides
the tie is retained Just over the
button, which is also kept out of sight.
Your summer comfort will be increased
ifyou wear one, and you'll thank is
for the style. Dealers sell them.

Chicago had IS, 900 cattle; they
seemed unable to hold last weeks
gain and took off a few nlckels on
all grades. With 5000 here prices
generally 10 to IS cents lower than
last Fridays sales; today's quota
tions were still about 20 cents better
than they were lastweek. The sup
ply was mostly fair to medium kill
ing stuff that brought $3.50 to s4.7s
several right good punches sold at
$500 Our Mr.. Curtis sold at this
price one load of steers and heifers
mixed, weighing S8I lbs.
The stockers now being marketed
are mostly undesirable in quality.
Strictly good kinds are selling near
the $500 mark. Thin cows and
heifers are hard sellers at prices
ranging from s2.2s to S2.85.
Right decent heifers In fair flesh
have to sell at $500 to S3.25.
Butcher cows and heifers met a de-
cline equal to the "take off" on
the steer trade.
Chicago reports $4,000 hogs at
10 to IS cents lower prices; this
market followed suit on the break
with 6, 900 on sale. Bulk of heavy

A Pretty Wedding.

Miss Mary Newton Keesecker,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John H.
Keesecker, of this place, and Mr..
Charles w. Phelps, of West Toledo,
Ohio, were married last Thursday af-
ternoon at 8 o'clock in the Reformed
church in Shepherdstown. The bride
is one of the most thoroughly loved and
respected young women of this COM
munity, and the church was filled with
her friends who had gathered to wit
ness the ceremony. The ushers were
Messrs. Charles J. Miller, T. Lee
Koontz, Frank Homsher and VIM. T.
McQuilkin, all of this county. AS
Mrs. ]. L. Sheetz began the wedding
march from Lohengrin the bridal par
ty entered the church. The ushers
preceded the bride and groom, and
made way for them at the chancel,
which was decorated with lovely flow
ers. The pastor, of the church, Rev.
J. Guy, conducted the service that
made the twain one, and it was an i'm
pressive ceremony. After the we'd
ding brief reception was held, many
friends expressing their sincerest good
wishes, and later Mr.. and Mrs. Phelps
took the train for their home in West
Toledo. Mrs. Phelps received large
number of handsome presents, both of
the useful and ornamental sort. Her
wide circle of friends here hope that
she may have very happy married
life, and congratulate Mr.. Phelps upon
winning SO worthy a bride. He is one
of the substantial and prosperous citi-
zen of his town, gentleman of char
acter and reputation, and he and his
wife have our hesrtiest Fluctuations.

Result Of The Election.

The corporation election in Shep-
herdstown on Monday resulted IN the
election of the following town officers
Mayor-Robert G. Miller.
Recorder-Samuel J. Hodges.
Councilmen-Henry c. Reynolds, NJ.
f. Spohn, Joseph L. Cookus, B. f. Har-
rison, j. S. Bragonier
There were two tickets in the field,
the unsuccessful one being headed by
Benjamin Hartzell for mayor and j.
S. Fleming for recorder. There was
not very strong contest over the
tickets, though Mr.. Miller's friends
were active in his behalf. The mem
bers of the retiring town council, who
had caused so much dissension in the
town the past year, made no effort at
reelection, as their case was a hope
less one.
The question of license or no license
to sell liquor was voted upon, and
the advocates of the saloons won by a
majority of ten, the vote standing 100
to 1l9. The wholesale liquor dealers
had sent considerable sums of money
here to pay taxes and buy votes, and
its purpose was accomplished. A con-
siderable number Of the better dis
posed colored men voted against Ii
cense, but under the leadership of
white and colored whiskey men the
great bulk of the blacks voted for the
saloons. The colored brother holds
the balance of power on this question,
and he nearly always goes wrong,
The chief anxiety of the people of
the town was in regard to the council
this year. There was an overwhelm-
ing desire to be relieved Of the intol-
cradle state of affairs that has existed
since the last election, and when it was
ascertained that there were only two
tickets in the field, and both Of them
composed Of good men, there was a
