A WORD TO FARM TOILERS.
PAINE'S CELERY
COMPOUND
The Home Friend Of the
Farmer and His Family.

After the labors and tolls OF the summer time,
and harvesting Of crops IN the early autumn,
many OF our farmers, their wives, daughters,
and sons, find themselves in 4 condition OF
health demanding careful attention II suffering
is to be avoided later on. Many experience
kidney trouble in some form; with some the
liver is torpid; there is biiousness, nausea, and
vomiting, with loss OF appetite and depression
Of spirits. Thousands who have been exposed
to cold, damp winds and rains while toiling in
the harvest fields, now feel the twingeS OF
terrible rheumatism; others run down by
worry. oyerork, and irregular dieting, are
tomented with the pangs Of dyspepsia.
To the thousands OF run down, sickly, and
half dead men and women in farm homes we
recommend with all honesty and confidence
the workers friend, Paine's Celery Compound,
the only medicine that can quickly and fully
restore strength to the weak body and yigor to
the muscles. Paine's Celery Compound tones
the stomach; it removes poisonous acids from
the blood which cause rheumatism; It feeds
the weak and diseased nerves and banishes
neuralgia tortures; it purifes the blood and
gives true vitality and life. The use OF Paine s
Celery Compound in autumn means the estab-
fishing OF perfect physical vigor to Withstand
the riCors of q severe winter.

The Shepherdstown Register is in
clined TO taunt. Martinsburg with the
idea of all the through express and pas
sepger trains on the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad passing through Shep-
herdstown and not Martinsburg. If
that should happen, which may at least
in a measure, il will do Shepherdstown
no good. They will pass there at rate
of about 60 miles per hour like they now
do Brunswick. There is no danger Of
Martinsburg not having all the train
service il needs or wishes. \ station
with a passenger traffic of from two
hundred to FIVE hundred dollars per day
will be looked after.--UarfiHS6Hrg
Statesman.
We don't see how William Boyer
can print such story. The idea Of
taunting Msrtinsburg about the rail-
road is ridiculous. We wouldn't do
such a thing. We understand that
Ma1tinsburg is TO have several trains
every day when the new cutoff Is
completed through Shepherdstown,
and if the people Of that excellent
place want still other trains they can
get them by driving to Shepherds
town. Berkeley county, however, will
have to do better on the road ques-
ton than it does now, for the road to
Shepherdstown Is almost impossible
between Winebrenner's Cross Roads
and Martinsburg.

Interesting VIII Contest.

In the Circuit Court for Berkeley
county, on Monday, in the case OF
Anna Noll VS.. Wilson ct al, involv-
ing the probate of certain paper as a
separate will or codicil to another
will of James Wilson, verdict was
given for the defendant. The case
had been before the court for nearly
a week.
James Wilson, an eccentric charac-
ter, died about two years ago, leaving
three children by his second wife, who
survive him. He left considerable
property, $4,000 in cash being found
under his bed after his death. He
wrote one will in March, 1900, leav-
ing the bulk of his estate to his only
child, a son, by bis second wife, and
part of the remainder Of his property
to child of his second wife by for
mer marriage. His widow refused to
be governed by this will, claiming her
dover instead of what he gave her by
will.
Later another paper came to light,
bearing date of June 6, 1900, which
leaves the bulk of his estate to daugh-
ter by his first marriage. The de-
Tense claim that the last paper Is a
forgery and fraud, and it has been
carried from the county court on APP
peal to the Circuit Court in an effort
to prevent its probate. Wilson had no
use for lawyers, and boldly set it out
in his will, saying he didn't care for
the lawyers to get any OF his money.

To complete the New College Building.

A committee of the Board of Re-
gents of the State Normal Schools of
West Virginia was held in Shepherds
town yesterday to take action looking
to the completion of the new building
for Shepherd College. Those present
were President Thos c. Miller, Secre-
tary VIM. NJ. Strars and H. L. Snyder.
After consideration of the subject it
was agreed to give the contract for the
completion of the building to S. y.
Westenhaver, OF Martiusburg, who
was the contractor for the main build
ing as far as it has been finished.
The price agreed upon was $4,000, the
amount originally named for this part
of the work, to which Will be added
certain sum for the substitution OF
patent plaster instead of the ordinary,
and also providing for steel ceilings
The contract, which it is now hoped
will be soon signed, provides for the
completion of the entire building ac-
cording to the original plans, with the
exceptions above noted, and it Is IN
tended to have it ready for occupancy
by the opening Of the fall term Of
Shepherd College.
1t is gratifying to note the fact that
the handsome building will be still
further beautifed by the installation
of steel ceilings. Every room will
have a ceiling of this material, and
pretty designs have been selected that
Will be in harmony with the apart
meut for which they are intended.
The Wheeling Corrugating Company
will furnish the steel ceilings.
The news that the building Is to be
pushed to completion will be welcome
not only to the teachers and students
of the school, but our people generally
will rejoice in this fact. 1t is intend
ed to have imposing ceremonies when
it is finally completed and dedicated.

Pnstnftlce 10 Be Moved.

The Postofiice Department, through
Postmaster Harry E. Mundey, has
notified Mrs. Ida Cbapline that at the
end of ninety days it will terminate
the lease of the room in her building
now occupied by the Shepherdstown
postofice. About a year ago, when
Mr.. Mundey was appointed postmas-
ter to succeed Mrs. Chapline, the Post
Office Department took her room,
in which the postotice has been looa-
ted for a long time, on q hve-year lease
at an annual rental Of $3.50. The
leasing of the room for term ofyears
at a good rent rather reconciled Mrs.
Chapline to the loss Of the postofhce,
and the fact that the lease is to be
broken aud her room thrown on her
hands has created something Of a SEN
sation. The postohice is to be moved
into Postmaster Mundey's building on
main street, few doors east Of the
present location, which is now being
handsomely remodeled for use as a
postofice. A plate glass front has
been put in and other Improvements
will be made. Mr.. Mundey will IN
stall an entirely new outfit for the
postofice, including modern fixtures
that will have all the conveniences
necessary for effective service as well
as for the accommodation Of the pub

All true lovers of sport in this cOun-

est TO the arrival of the new cup chal-

glish people expect will lift the cup this
wear. While America has held the su-
premacy in yacht building for years
She also holds the supremacy IN medi-
cine. Take Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers as an example. No other country
in the world has been able to produce
medicine so good to restore the appe-
tile, build up the run down system in
the spring or to cure nausea, Indigestion,
tiatulency, dyspepsia, cOnstipated bow

Trouble Over Dogs.

The Hagerstown daily Globe says
that the enforcement Of the order of
the burgess aud council Of Sharps-
burg that all dogs caught on the street
without a muzzle after April 10 should
be shot by the town constable was al
most the cause of a tragedy between
two prominent residents of the town
Monday night The order to exter-
inmate all dogs caught on the streets
without a muzzle was passed because
Of mad dog scare in the town last
week. A dog supposed to be affected
with rabies bit seven other dogs and
caused cor derable excitement The
new order went into effect Monday,
and it is said Constable John Ham
mond spent the entire day in a quiet
hunt for dogs, and by night had shot
four. A number of the residents
were opposed to what they termed
the Wholesale slaughter, and whenever
the occasion presented were not slow
to give vent to their feelings Among
this number was Robert S. Delaney,
proprietor of the Antietam Hotel.
He got into an argument with his
brother-in-law, Charles Bender, who
upheld the town officials. Mr.. Delau-
ney, it is said, drew revolver and
pointing it at Mr.. Bender said he
would shoot him, but friends inter-
fered and the two men were separated.
Mr.. Bender then swore out a warrant
for Mr.. Delaney, who was arrested
and taken before a justice, but was
discharged.
