Stockholm. March 27.-Plans are

fact about the project is that the esti.

Another interesting feature Is the

THE Two EXTREMES

About the time children begin to go to school they
are liable to be confronted with one of two extremes
they may either grow too fast or not grow fast
enough. In the former case nature makes unusual
demands upon bone and blood; vital organs are
overtaxed and growth continues out of proportion to
their age Here is where SCOTS Emulsion finds
scope for its best workings.
1t nourishes the bones-the hypophosphites of
lime and soda does this it feeds and enrches the blood
this through the pure cod liver oil; it strengthens
the whole system, providing firm, healthy flesh and
fortfying the tissues that they better able to
stand the extra strain upon them
When a child is not growing it should
undersze underweight, there will be found in SCOTS
Emulsion the very elements needed to aid in proper
development.
Bone food for the bones, blood food for the
blood, tissue food for the tssues-hat is how SCOTS
Emulsion provides for each demand of the body

Two Young Surveyors Drowned.

a very distressing tragedy occurred
last Friday evening at Hancock, Md,
when Richard Lee Dunpby and h.
Milton Whiteside were drowned in
the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal. Both
young men were members of the B. &
o. surveying corps in charge Of Major
Goldsborough, and were working in
that locality. Friday evening four Of
the surveyors went to the canal for a
bath. In the party were Whiteslde,
Dunphy, Percy Mckee, Of Martins
burg, and Hall Worthington, Of Gran
ite, Baltimore county. Neither Dun
ply nor Whiteside could swim, but
Worthington could, and after they had
been in the water some time Worth
ington took Dunphy on his back and
started tocarrY him across the stream,
which at this point slopes from COM
paratvely shallow water at the sides
to depth of about nine feet. Near
the middle of the stream Dunphy, for
some reason, lost his hold of Worth
ington and sank. Worthington was
too exhausted by his recent efforts to
be of any service to Duuphy. White
aide perceiving this and regardless Of
the fact that he was learning to swim,
went out toward the spot where his
friend had gone down. As Dunphy
arose to the surface Whiteside grabbed
him, but then, finding he no longer
had foothold, he seemed to have lost
his nerve and the two men sank.
Their bodies were recovered as soon
as possible, Whitesides in half an
hour and Duuphy's IN about an hour.
Two doctors from Hancock worked for
an hour or more to resuscltate them,
but without success. WhitesIde, who
was 10 years old, was a sou Of Mr..
and Mrs. William B. Whlteslde, Of
B fillmore. He was with Major Colds
borough's corps when the B. < 0. en-
gineers first came TO ShepherdstOwn
more than year ago, and was a
bright young fellow Young Dunphy
had been on the corps only few
months. He was q years old and his
home was at Towson, Nd. He was
young man Of exceptional qualities,
very popular, and his death caused
great regret. Both of the young men

delightful and enjoyable affair. Many
handsome and useful presents were re-
ceiyed among the most valuable be-
ing a splendid set Of china presented
by the members Of Elk Branch Pres

Zion Church. During the evening de-

The Mad Dog Scare.

The disastrous effects of the travels
Of the mad dog that ran amuck through
the western part Of this county a
couple Of weeks ago, and which We
told about in last week 's REGISTER,
are still being manifested. Since our
last report W. Seibert Myers, whose
cattle were attacked 30 vlcIously by
the mad dog, has lost two more COWS,
the animals having gone mad and act
Ell in the same way as those described
last week. They had to be shot to
put them out Of their misery and to
keep them from harming other cattle.
One of the COWS was a valuable Dur
ham. Several hogs that had been Bit
ten also went mad. They became al
most entirely helpless, and showed un-
mistakable symptoms Of rabies.
Thos. F. Jones, who lives at Bill
myers Mill, also lost a very valuable
COW this week. A strange dog, sup
posed to have been the same one that
bit Mr. Myers cattle, was seen to
bite Mr.. Joness COW, and she went
mad from the effects. She was killed
and buried the first of the week.
1t is reported that several dogs
showing symptoms of rabies are run
ming at large in the country north
and west OF town, and there Is good
deal of alarm over the situation.
Farmers and others are preparing to
make war on the strange ours that
they find about their places, and 1t Is
hoped that they may eXterminate all
those that have been bitten. a dog
thought to be mad was seen within a
mile or two of town Tuesday, on the
Turner farm occupied by l.. K. Har-
desty.
Dr. W. NJ Stanley, of Charles Town,
State Veterinarian for this district,
came here the first Of the week and
made an examination of the cattle,
ordering those that showed signs Of
the disease to be killed. All Of the
stock of Mr.. Myers has been appraised,
and that which is killed by order Of
the State agents will be paid for from
fund provided for that purpose.
This morning we learn that fine
Durham bull belonging to Mr.. Myers
is now affected. 1t acts in an entire
" different manner from the COWS that
went mad. They became ferocious
and ran from place to place, charging
fercely on anyone who went near
them. The bull lies around in sick
" condition and takes no account Of
what is going on about him. he will
probably be killed today or tomorrow.
