Millennium in 1912.

The statement is made by promi-
nent divine in the west that the mil
lennium will arrive in the year 1872,
and bases his claim on the prophesies of
the Bible. Whether his prophesy is
correct or not, time alone will tell, but
in the meantime we should make the
most out Of our lives, and the first es-
sential to this is good heath. A sickly
person cannot enjoy life because he
lacks the vigor and vitality necessary
for such enjoyment, and consequently
always feels down-hearted and depress-
ed. 1t was for such persons that Hos
letter Stomach Bitters was first intro
duced fifty years ago. and many persons
to-day can aScribe their good health TO
its use 1t positively cures indigestion,
dyspepsia, constipation, biliousness and
liver and kidney troubles. Don't fail
to try it.

Fatal Accident at the Ore Bank.

A frightful accident occurred about
o'clock last Saturday afternoon at
the Virginia Ore Bank, six miles east
Of Shepherdstown, by which Edgar
Walters, son OF George Walters, for
mer resident of this place, lost his life.
The unfortunate young man, who
worked at the ore mine, was riding
upon the tender of a locomotive run
ming backward, and as it went down a
rather steep grade he slipped of and
fell beneath the wheels. When the
engine had passed a horrible sight met
the view of those who had witnessed
the accident. The wheels had COM
pletely decapitated Mr.. Walters, and
his body lay upon one side of the
track and the head upon the other.
In the twinkling of an eye his life had
gone out. His fellow employees were
greatly shocked by the occurrence and
some of them were completely un-
nerved. The remains were gathered
up and made a. presentable as posi-
bic, the head being sewed to the body,
and later were sent to his home on the
opposite side of the river, in Maryland.
The funeral was held Sunday after
noon The young man was about
eighteen years Of age.

Barn Burned.


Late last Saturday night the barn
on the farm of John G. Flanagan, ten
anted by Cruzen Link, near Bakerton,
this county, was destroyed by FIRE, with
nearly all its contents. Among the
valuable property that was destroyed
was about 600 bushels of wheat, a lot
of hay, a binder, drill and other farm
ing implements, harness, etc. 1t Is
supposed that the fire was started by
incendiaries, and we understand that
there are suspicious as to who the guilty
persons are. Fortunately no live stock
was burned. There was no insurance
upon either the barn or the contents,
and the loss is particularly hard upon
Mr.. Link, who loses bis crops and farm
ing implements too.

the introduction of the measure, and
politics came promptly to TIE front.
DR.. Leech OF Charleston, declared be

similar declarations, and the resolu'

The resignation of former governor
A. H. Burke from the land department
is said to result from friction between
Mr.. Burke and Secretary Hitchcock.
The Washington correspondent Of the
Minneapolis Journal says:
Burke could not longer consent to
remain in his old position. He says
that some of his official reports
which are on file in the department,
have reflected severely upon certain
officers of the department, who are
the especial friends of Secretary
Hitchcock, and yet, that Hitchcock af.
ter reading these reports has reap.
pointed these men for second terms
The charges were of the most serious
character, and if what Burke says j!
true. it would seem that Secretar!
Hitchcock ought to be investigated b!
congress. Mr.. Hitchcock, on the 9th
er hand, says that Burke's reports
have not been satisfactory. and hav'
not given any information to the de
p~artent. which has no confidence II

by Senator Hansbrough's new land

frauds that have been possible under
the former rule.

Ransom county officials are to be
congratulated for being the first to
make an appropriation for the promo
ton of irrigation work in the state.
There are necessary incidental ex-
penses to be incurred in carrying out
the campaign for the apportionment
and use of government funds in the
state, and it is only fair that all parts
of the state should help bear the bur
den, since all parts of the state will
benefit.
