astonished recently to find on his writing
desk a petition signed by the people of
the village of Zawa, near Baku, who say
that i've months ago landsharks drove
them from their homes, claiming the

In this they were uphelp by a decision

As something unique in modern liter
ature, the Book OF the Royal Blue" for
the Month OF May will be on advanced
lines
The attempt to issue publication
which would include the well-known
Newspaper Satirists and Funny

been made, as the proposition is a big
one Nevertheless, they have been
rounded up in this number, and each
man will appear in his Characteristic
style, with photograph and autograph.
The matter gathered together IN this
manner IS by far the best collection OF
newspaper wit and humor ever pub
lished. Newspapers will recognize It's
value at once, and every literateur will
desire a copy, % become acquaint-
ed with the men who are the best rep
resentatives OF American humorous lit
erature.
The Book Of the Royal Blue, " which
has been published monthly by the Pas
senger Department Of the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad for the past seven years,
has presented valuable reading from
time 10 time, and this special mum Der

Railroad Affairs.

A dispatch from Hancock, Nd,
says that "work on that portion Of the
Wabash route between Hancock and
Cumberland will be delayed year,
in hopes Of securing right of way on
the Chesapeake q Ohio canal, which
will remain in the hands of the pres
ent operators until January l, 1904
Should the Wabash secure the canal
property they will operate that Sec
ton between Dam No. 6 and Wash
iugton as a waterway to carry their
freight until branch railroad can be
built" We do not know how much
truth there may be in the above re-
port, but the REGISTER has contended
right along that if the Wabash really
means to come East it will never build
the tremendously expensive route
from Cumberland eastward until ev-
cry effort to secure the canal has been
exhausted. The canal is now con-
trolled by the B. & O., but it is only
a matter OF getting certain decisions
from the courts to put 1t in other
hands. We expect to see trains run
ming where now the patient mule
drags the reluctant barge.
1t is said that the Wabash Railroad
will go through West Virginia by an
entirely different route from that orig
inally planned The latest line is an
extension of the Wheeling and Lake
Erie from Pittsburg to Belington, ITO
miles, the connection with the West
Virginia Central being made at the
latter place. This route Is said to be
much shorter than that projected by
way Of the Little Kanawha and Par
kersburg.
Beginning with May 18th the Bal
timore & Ohio Railroad will inagurate
an hourly train service between Wash
ington and Baltimore. An express
train will leave each city every hour
between s a. IN. and 7 P. m, starting
promptly on the hour. The trains
have heretoforerun at odd times. I'm
der the new management it Will not
be necessary to hunt schedules.
The section men on the B. & O.
Railroad between Cumberland and
Grafton are on a strike They want
their wages increased from $l3j
day to $3.50.

County Court Proceedings.


The County Court Of Jefferson coun-
ty adjourned last Thursday, to meet
in special session June lst. We note
the following proceedings not includ-
ed in our last report:
The court decided not to open the
public road that goes by the property
of Mrs. Eugsnia Pierce, east OF Shep-
berdstown. This was formerly a pub
lie road, but when a new road was
made to get better grade the old one
was abandoned and finally closed.
Some property owners desired the
road kept open, but the court declines
to do so. This ends a long-drawn out
contest.
The report of J. W. Rider and 9th,
ers, viewers Of the proposed new road
at Sublettes farm, was received and
ordered to be filed.
F.P. Lynch, late superintendent OF
Halltown and Kabletown pike, was
ordered to make a full and final re-
port of his management Of said road
at a special session to be held June lst.
Numerous orders were passed on
the sheriff.
R. L. Withers was appointed road
surveyor of Precinct No. 8, Kabletown
district. vice w. B. Conrad, resigned.
Winchester Telephone Company
was summoned to appear before the
court in June session to show why Its
franchise should not be revoked.
A list of erroneous tax bills was
presented by Gerard D. Moore, trus-
tee for the late Sheriff Eugene Baker,
and it was ordered by the court that
the account of said Baker be credited
with the amount of the bills aggregat-
ing $344.34.
Upon the application Of the John
Stephenson Seminary, that institution
was allowed exemption from taxes in
future, the reason being that the SEM
mary is school property and not assess
able under the laws of West Virginia.
Commissioner Daniel Hehebower
was appointed to sell the toll-houses
on the Charles Town and Berryville
turnpike. He was also instructed,
with Sheriff J. D. Billmyer, to sell the
toll-houses on the Halltown and Shop
herdstown turnpike. The account of
sales is to be reported to the court at
the August term.

sum of $1,000 The estate comprises
nearly 200 acres of land and skirts
the Shenandoah river for about two
miles, where there is fine boating, fsh-
ing and hunting. 1t is a short dis
lance from johannesburg, the home Of

nalist, and 8! miles distant from Blue
mont. Retreat" was the ancestral
home Of Judge Richard Parker, who
was Judge of this circuit court when
John Brown was tried and executed

Thomas Parker, held district court in
a building erected on the farm Tor this
purpose. The mansion is a large
brick building with large hall, wains-
coted with material brought from
England. 1t is still in a good state
Of preservation. The curious old
locks were also brought from England.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inllamed con-
dition of the mucous lining OF the Eu-
stachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing. and when IL is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored TO its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forev-
err; nine cases out Of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh)

Miss Louise Hadley, a chambe rmaid
at the Hotel English, at Indianapolis,
has been discharged by the manage
ment as a result of the recent visit of
Booker T. Washington to that city.
When he went there to lecture We'd
ns8day and stopped at the hotel, he
was assigned to one Of the rooms in
charge of Miss Hadley. Thursday
morning she refused to enter the room
and rearrange the bed. The head
chambermaid reported her to the
manager. She was told that such
characterization would not be tolerated,
but she declared she would not make
any negro's bed and her discharge
followed. She ought to be ashamed
of herself. President Roosevelt him
self would not have objected to making
Booker's bed.

ANOTHER feature Of the corruption
in the Postoffce Department was ex-
posed last Friday, when A. W. Mach
en-, general superintendent Of the d.
vision of free delivery, was relieved Of
duty "by request" He is the fourth
prominent official to walk the plank
within the past few weeks He is
charged with being mixed up in a
scheme by which certain contractors
were enabled to force their mail boxes
upon patrons of the rural free delivery
system, and with using his Office for
private gain.
The trouble seems to be that ex-
travagance in the departments has
been permitted to 90 unrebuked SO
long that inevitable corruption has
resulted.

The Legislature Of Virginia has f.
nally disposed of a celebrated case by
removing from the bench Judge Camp
bell, of Amherst county, drunken
and corrupt Judge who by horsewhip-
ping a minister of the Gospel called
public attention to his own evil life
and brought on a trial that has re-
suited in his disgrace. Judge Camp
bell richly deserves the fate that has
befallen him, and the wonder Is that
he was not removed long ago.

The Governor of Pennsylvania, one
Pennypacker, has signed a bill to
muzzle the press. The bill was
rushed through the Legislature by
Senator Quay's orders, and if it is de-
clared constitutional it will do away
with public criticism Of Quay and the
gang of politicians who who are rob-
bling that great State and the big
cities within its limits.
We do not see that there will be
much harm done, however, by stop
ping newspaper criticism of Pennsyl-
vania politicians. The benighted
voters of the keystone State keep
right on supporting the Republican
ticket, no matter who is on it.

Republicans. And the strange thing
about it is, he would probably be
elected.
