Monument for jaime. Rum.ey.

A resolution will be introduced by
the representatives from Jefferson
county at the coming session of the
Legislature, which convenesin Charles
ton next Wednesday, to erect a mon
ument in memory of James Rumsey,
inventor of the steamboat, who was rec
ognized as such by George Washington
and had the confidence and encourage
ment of Thomas Jefferson, Patrick
Henry and Benjamin Franklin. A
memorial has been prepared by ex-
Judge Daniel B. Lucas and Geo. NJ.
Beltzhoover, Jr., of Charles Town, and
sigued by representative citizens OF
the county, pstitioning the Legislature
to have this monument erected on the
summit of the high rocky cliff Cd the
Potomac river at Shepherdstown, over
look the scene where "the first success.
tulapplicstion of steam to the practical
purpose of navigation" was made.
This was long the cherished hope
and desire of the late Hon. Alexan-
der R. Boteler, of Shepherd,town, a
Member of the 35th Congress, who
perhaps spent more time and effort IN
championing the claims of Rumsey as
the inventor of the steamboat than
any other person in the last century.
Judge Lucas recently delivered an IN
teresting address before the Maryland
Historical Society in Baltimore on this
subject. Mr.. Beltzhoovsr's paper was
written as thesis while in attend
ance at the West Virginia University
in 1899, and was published under the
auspices of the West Virginia Histor-
ical and Antiquarian Society.
The petition referred to above has
been in circulation in Shepherdstown
this week, and has of course been
signed by everybody to whom it was
presented, for Rumsey is household
word in this community, where he
lived and where his first successful ex-
pertinent was made. We hope that
our legislators may look with favor
upon the project and appropriate a
sum sufficient to erect worthy mon
ument to the great inventor. 1t Is
well to cherish our traditions and pre-
serve our historic events.

Fretful
Children

This getting up every night with
the baby, or some of the other
children, is all wrong.
Not that the children are to
blame. If it's the baby probably
his food is wrong. Vinol will help
his mother stand the strain of
nursing. I have often seen whole
families of older children keep the
parents awake O nights. First one,
then the other is ailing.
These children seem well enough
at times; but they are white,
hollow-eyed, often listless, with
irregular appetites, peevish and
fretful, wakeful at night, and con-
stantly taking cold.
The use of Vinol, in conjunction
with Vinlax to regulate the bowels,
will benefit these children almost
In day.
We know this because the ex-
amples are so numerous right
around home.
There is nothing in Vinol that
can hurt them. 1t is pleasant to
take, and the amount necessary to
give the children a start costs but
little. Besides, if it doesn't do the
work, we will give you the money
back.
There is nothing so good for
weak and sired mothers and ailing
children as Vinol. 1t gives them
a start, and helps them keep it,
and it's splendid for old people.

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 infia med con-
dition Of the mucous lining of the Eu-
stachian Tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have a rumbllng sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it 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 for
ever 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)

The Administration on Trusts.

Acknowledgement Knox issued
statement on trusts with the full con-
currence of the President.
In effect he argues that one source
of evil is the discrimination Of rates
granted by common carriers to large
and small concerns.
Regulation and not destruction, he
says, is the demand of the people.
He recommends
That all discriminatory practices
affecting interstate trade be made an
ofense to be eDjoined and punished,
such legislation being directed alike
against those who give and those who
receive illegal advantages.
In order to reach producers guilty
of these ofenses who are as producers
merely beyond national control a pen
atty should be imposed upon the in
terstate and foreign transportation of
goods produced by them, and federal
courts should be given power to re-
strain such transportation at the Gov
ernment's suit.
The prohibition against carriers
should be limited to those subject to
the act to regulate commerce. Only
carriers operating a line of railroad or
a ail.and-water line as one line are
required to publish their rates and ad-
here to them.
Provision should also be made to
reach corporations and combinations
which produce wholly within a State,
out whose products enter interstate
commerce.
There should be a comprehensive
plan to enable the Government to get
at all the facts bearing upon the or
ganization and practices Of concerns
engaged in interstate commerce, not
with view to hampering any legiti-
mate business of such concerns, but in
order to be in position TO take action
If necessary.

had his left leg amputated below the
knee in Baltimore last Saturday. At
the battle of Gettysburg Capt. Kuhn
was shot in the foot. He was taken
to hospital, and the two surgeons in
attendance said they would have to
amputate his foot. He begged them
not to do so, and when they refused
to listen to him and got ready to cut
off the foot he drew his revolver from
under his pillow and swore he would
shoot the first man that touched him.
They let him alone and his foot was
saved. AT intervals, however, the
old wound has given him great deal
of trouble, and recently it was made
plain to him that he must have the
foot amputated if he would save his
life. He finally agreed to the opera
ton, which was performed in the
Johns Hopkins Hospital. He is said
to be doing well, He is GO years old.

To Rattle Himself off.

Failing to secure wife through
matrimonial agents, advertisements or
in the usual way, John W. Miller, a
vell.to-do farmer living near Syracuse
Y, has hit upon the original plan
of putting himself up at a rattle among
the women of the district at 20 cents
chance. the winner to take him, his
savings and farm of n acres on the
Snake Hill road.
Up to date Miller has sold I'll
tickets, and says be could sell as many
more. Five colored women bought
tickets, and Miller is in despair lest
one of them should prove the lucky
contender and carry off both ham and
his worldly goods.
Miller is not venturlng into the
matrimonial heaven without expert
snce. He has been "hitched before,
as he expressed it. In 1899 his wife
died and he lately decided to make
another venture. He tried in the
usual way, but failed, perhaps because
he has a fierce red beard and hair.
He has tender blue eyes, but the
combination did not convince any OF
the fair danes of the county fhis SER
iousness, Notwithstanding his farm and
other monetary attractions.
Milleris IS yeaIs old, stands 3 feet D
inches a nd is said to be we'll to do.
His strange idea of rafting himself
is not the result, he says, Of a whlm,
but because he wishes to find a wife.
He declares be will abide by the con-
ditions he made, but admits that he is
mighty nervous" for fear one OF the
FIVE negresses will draw the winning
chance.
