HABIT BECOhRS MASTER.
Ms. Andrew Kamerer Con
hrmed Drug Fiend.

That People Do Not aid Her In AM
Way TO Get Drugs Pathetic Cast
Involving Most highly Respected
People.
A pathetic notice will be found il
another column of this paper. The
reason for its being published is 1
sad one. 1t is published in order tt
take the last step to prevent a wife
and mother from following further
her desire to use opium and othel
narcotics.
Andrew ksmerer and wife have
been residents of Morgantown fol
years, having come here from Eos
toria when the Seneca removed from
that place to this city. They have
beautiful home in Seneca and have
two interesting children.
Mr.. Kamerer is one of the officers
OF the Seneca factory and owns con
siderable stock in the concern. HS
is regarded as one of the most sub
stantial citizens of the tow. Mrs
kamerer is universally respected
Years ago size began to use drugs
The habit grew on her and couple
of years ago her husband discovered
what was goingou. He demonstrated
with he. and received promises OF re-
form. All Of these have been bro
ken as the habit is too strong to be
broken lightly.
The victim of this CALLING indul-
gence is an intelligent and spirited
woman. She has tried in vain to
refrain from the use of drugs but
the longing oyerpowers hel and she
resorts to many methods to get the
desired drugs.
People give her money and others
get the drugs tor her under a mis-
taken idea OF doing her kindness.
TO these MI. kamerer addresses a
request that they no longer aid her
IN the satisfaction of her craving.
fhe drug stores of town have been
requested to quit selling her any
thing of the kind but others get 1t
for her. She manages to conceal it
and uses it frequently.
Circumstances have come to such
a pass that public announcement
must be made of the facts and every
one is requested not to give credit
or money to the afflicted woman ner
10 secure for her any drugs of any
character whatever.

HOT TIME IN

Pistols and Rocks Figure in
Free-for-all Fight.

The citizens of Adams Town have
been having warm time for the
past week or ten days. A few nights
ago several OF the men got on tare
and fired several shots, but no one
was hurt, but woman and her little
child had narrow escape. They
wore standing near each other when
ball passed between them. She
went TO town Monday and swore out
"A warrant for some of the parties.

got the best of il.
On Monday night several met at
the commissary to decide who was
responsible for some talk concerning
a certain party. From the reports
every body must have taken hand
in this that live IN the community,
from . years old and up. This re-
suited in nothing but some abusive
language from several of the parties.
On Tuesday Sheriff f.. X. Crockett

on the scene with warrants for about
