High Water In the West.

At least 10000 persons are today
homeless as a result of the floods In
Kansas. With the sweeping away Of
Armourdale, Argentine and Harlem,
suburbs of Kansas City, Kansas, TO-
900 persons lost their homes and their
employment as well. These, added
to the homeless of Kansas City, Mis-
souri,, Topeka aud other towns along
the Kaw bottoms, brings the total up
to 10000. Practically all those with
out homes are destitute and without
food. They are cut off from aid and
it may be several days before help
can reach them. All the packing
houses, ice factories, mills, warehouses
and Wholesale houses of Topeka, are
in the Kaw bottoms and all are food
ed. The city is cut off from the mar
kets of Kansas City and Wichita, aud
it may be week before freight traf-
fic is resumed. The big gardens and
truck farmers which supply Topeka
with vegetables for the tables are de-
stroyed by the flood and the great
poultry yards are covered with water.
In Kansas City, Kansas, there is
also danger from a lack of food.
Many cars of meat and provisions in
the train yards have been destroyed
or swept away and all the ware
houses containing provisions are under
water. Market gardeners are out of
business and the meat in the butcher
shops Is nearly exhausted.
An appeal has been sent to Wichita
asking for food supplies. An epidemic
of disease threatens the Aood-swept
valley. Smallpox, scarlet fever, ty-
phoid fever and measles have been
found among the refugees now quar-
tered in Topeka. Thousands were ex-
posed before the health board could
establish hospitals. The first result
of the "shoot on sight" order came on
Monday when two thieves were shot
while they were taking loot from a
store in North Topeka. The situation
in Topeka, Kansas, and Kansas City,
Kansas, has become so desperate that
the militia has been put on police du-
ty. Chief of Police Hayes has given
orders to his men to shoot thieves and
ghouls on sight, and a similar order
has been given to the police Of the
other cities and towns.

gent need of this health giving prescription TO

pound completely and permanently brings

more, Ohio, saved by Paine's Celery Compound
after the failures of able physicians, gratefully
writes as follows:-
81 suffered for eight years with nervous
prostration and the general debility common
to women, and had such pains in my back
that / could not get around the house. I used
several remedies and consulted several Of the
best physicians without obtaining any relief.
Paine's Celery Compound restored me TO
health.
-" also want to say TO all mothers that
Paine's Celery Compound is a splendid medi-
cine for their childrenn

AS further developments come to
light the extravaganza and subsequent
rottenness in the Postofice Depart
ment is beginning to amaze the people
of the country. High officials are
shown to have accepted brides from
manufacturers of supplies; heads of
bureaus have increased the salaries of
clerks and paid enormous prices for
rents of postofices all over the land,
thus rewarding political heelers and
paying campaign debts of unscrrpu-
lous Congressman with public funds;
promotions have been made for parti.
san effect; and millions have been
squandered without the slightest ex-
cuse. Many of these facts have been
known for many months by the pub
lie, but the Postofice Department
seems to be just getting on to it-and
even now very reluctantly. 1t will
take years to get at the bottom of all
this rascality, and it is doubtful if a
Republican administration will ever
do so.

Strange Story of Two Murders.

Myersville, thriving town thir-
teen miles west Of Frederick, Nd, was
thrown into state of great excitement
Tuesday over rumors Of an alleged
confession of Samuel Belts, of that
place, who committed suicide last
Thursday by shooting himself in the
head with a pistol. The confession
which Belts is said to have made was
to the effect that sixteen years ago he
and his brother josiah Belts, now
dead also, killed their father, Samuel
Belts, ST., for the purpose of keeping
him from squandering the remaining
$4,000 of the estate, as it was plain to
them he was losing money in farming
The old man was sick at the time and
it is alleged that while he was asleep
in bed they shot his head of, placed
the weapon by his side and gave out
the report that he had committed sui
eide on account of financial troubles
In his alleged confession, which was
made before he shot himself, Belts
stated that he and young man
named John Long, had killed the lat
ter's father, Albert Long, about seven
years ago and buried the body on the
place. near an old building which was
later thrown down on the grave to
conceal it. Albert Long disappeared
from that place about that time and
nothing has ever been heard OF him
since. Whether he was murdered
and buried as stated remains to be
seen, but there are many persons in
the mountainous district who put
much credence in the alleged confes-
sion and have requested State At
torney Worthington, Of Frederick, to
make thorough investigation of the
rumors. 1t is said that for some years
young Long would not allow anyone
to trespass upon his premises.

Mn Enron AS the usual time LOT
decorating the graves of The southern
soldiers is near at hand, 1t brings Win
II thoughts of the past, as wei! as
thoughts of the future, and in thinking
81 both I have a suggestion when
vronId IKE YOU to give room in your
coInmns. in hope that il may inspire
some one to act upon the same Du'
inc, tho Civil War we had two compa-
NOS that responded 10 the bugle can
and went forth to battle for that "h'Cn
they knew was right One, COMPANY
B. Second Regiment Infantry, sefNeu

and was with him when he recei'eu
that glorious tribute, Look at JACKSON

Company F., of Stewards brlgaEe'
These two companies were among Ihe
first. il not the first, troops thai arrived
at Harper's Ferry when John Brown re-
treated TO the engine-house, ana were
among the last, if not the last, lhAt
marched down the Valley pike after the
surrender at AppomattoX, at least those
that were left Many, Oh, how many
of them sleep beneath old Virginia ;
sod and no doubt some noble, true ana
natriotic women are strewlng howerS
upon their graves at this season OF Inc
wear. These TWO companies were mace
I'D of our very best young men-pFo-
fessional men, farmers, clerks and me-
ckauics-all alike ready and willing 10
rive their life's blood for their rights.
The record that these brave men made
we are proud Of, and Justly SO, Tor no
men that wore the gray saw more nara
service nor had a better record than
Companies b and +. There were other
companies from our neighborhood whlch
did gallant service. but speak oil THESE
two because they were known as Shep-
herdstown companies.
Now. as to the suggestion: l would
like to have some one 10 get up hlSto-
~ of these two companies, and II IL can
be done in a creditable manner then
have it printed in book form so II can
be handed down. | should think
grand book could be gotten up, hIsto-
nv that might be intersperscd with
few Jokes of the camp fire. How nice
il would be. Now, why should not the
Sons and Daughters undertake this
work. while some of the old Vets SIN
live? Before long it will be too late. l
understand that the Sons have been
hunting up some history of the late
war. but what we want is a regular and
full history of these two companies. l
believe our community would be will
ing to aid financially, if necessary. 10
carry out this project. hope that
some one may be inspired by the
thought Of the bravery Of our boys In
gray ard act upon this suggestion.
When we 90 to our cemetery and Slrew
flowers over the boys in gray, II makes
ms feel like repeating these beautiful
lines that we stored away in our minds
few months after the surrender;
On. where are the Southern soldiers,
Who battled so brave and so long:
Whose hearts were 50 hopeful and bouy-
ant
Whose arms were so youthful and
strong!
Devotedly fighting our battles,
They sank to the warriors last sleep.
Those heroes Wei honor forever
While over their ashes vel weep.
Respectfully,
a CITIZEN.

Ran Away and Crossed the Ocean.

j. Marshall Chapman, l4.year-old
son Of Mr.. and Mrs. j. N. Chapman
Of Msrtinsburg, disappeared from his
home about six weeks ago. His pa
rents were greatly distressed, end en-
listed the aid of detectives and officers
in Martinsburg and other cities. No
clue, however, was obtained to the
lads whereabouts, and his parents
were Of the opinion that he had been
foully dealt with.
Tuesday morning, however, the miss
ing boys sister received a letter from
him, written in Glasgow, Scotland,
which stated that he had arrived in
that port on May 20 after trip of
seventeen days across the Atlantic
lie had boarded tramp steamer at
Baltimore and Prevailed upon the cap
tain to give him employment. He
said that he had been we'll treated
upon the voyage, and that on arriving
at Glasgow the captain had given him
a sum of money for the work be had
done on the trip over. Although Of
tender years the lad is sturdy and of
an adventurous spirit. Ee will return
to his home in Martinsburg.

A Box of Old Coins Unearthed.

A box of coins supposed to have been
buried by the Tories during the revolu-
tionary period was recently unearthed
by laborers working on one of the east
ern railroads, but as the coins were
about two centuries old they would
probably have no more value today
than many of the remedies compounded
for stomach, liver and bowel disorders.
1t is therefore necessary, il you want to
recover your health TO be careful in the
selection of medicine that will restore
the appetite, purify the blood, and cure
headache, indigestion, dyspepsia, con-
stipation or liver and kidney troubles
You will make no mistake if you try
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters because it
will positively cure these diseases.
Hundreds OF people have voluntarily
testified to this fact during the past
fifty years.
