a Wonderful Solder wah.

In the Pacific ocean there is a group Of
islands called the New Hebrides, where
there is species of spider that weayes
a fine cloth. What do you think Of that?
The natives place slight framework in
some dark corner where there are known
to be spiders, and the little insects i'm
mediately take possession of the frame
and use It as foundation for web,
with marvellous results. One cap made
in this way by spiders was over four feet
ten inches long, and over foot in diam
eter at the base.

George Ashby Breaks Jail Again.

The notorious George Ashby broke
out of the county jail at Charles Town
for the second time last Saturday
evening. Ashby, it will be remem-
bered, was in jail about year ago,
having been convicted and sentenced
to the penitentiary for mahciously
cutting William Dunn, near Rlpon,
this county. He got out OF jail in
some mysterious way, and his escape
resulted in charges being brought
against ] .iler Phillips, who was sub
seuuently removed from office on this
account Ivy Sheriff Billmyer and Depu
ty Sheriff Burns made jailer. Mon
day of last week Ashby was arrest
ed in Hagerstown and returned to the
Jail in Charles Town. Saturday eve
ming he was visited by young man
named Gil Roderick, who seemed very
ANXIOUS to see him and who was final.
ly allowed to communicate with him.
Roderick gave Ashby bag Of tobacco.
A short time afterward Ashby was
missing, and it was discovered that he
had unlocked door leading from the
corridor of the Jail to the yard, and
once outside the building, it is sup
posed he scaled the wall and so got
safely away. Nothing, has since been
learned of his whereabouts. Roder-
lex was arrested for helping him to
escape, but he denied the charge.
Ashby is a notorious fellow. 1t is
said he served two terms in the Vir-
GINA penitentary, and once escaped
from that prison by crawling through
a sewer pipe.
Rodrick's trial was fixed for Mon
day, but when the time came no one
appeared against him, and as there
was no evidence against him he was
released.

A Marvellous Aerial Globe.

One of the attractions planned for the
st. Lonis World Fair will be an aerial
globe, 200 feet high. Some idea of its
magnitude can be obtained after COM
pairing it with the popular Ferris wheel,
which is considered crude affair be-
side il. This statement is also appro-
pirate, after comparing the celebrated
HOStctter's Stomach Bitters with the
other stomach remedies. It's 80 years
record of cures puts ii so far in the lead
as family medicine that the others
are c-nsdered crude affairs and hardly
worth a trial. Then don't delay longer,
as delay is always dangerous especially
in cases of Indigestion, dyspepsia, con-
Stipation. billiouSness, insomnia, chills
colds or malaria, fever and ague. The
Bitters positively cures these ailments,
as thousands have voluntarily testified.
Try it and see for yourself.

A Fine Horse.

A. D. Doty, salesman for D. G.
White, of Braddock Heights, Md, Is
in Shepherdstown this week with one
of the finest horses we have seen for a
long time 1t is a Belgian stallion,
Lion II de Moer, imported from Bel
GUM last October. He is a hand
some dappled bay, weighing nearly
l 300 pounds, and will be FIVE years
old next June. Mr.. Doty will try to
organize a stock company here to
which he can dispose of the animal,
which is priced at $4,000. We should
like to see this handsome horse kept
in this community, for we are sure 1t
would result in an improvement in
the value of horsefesh that would
more than repay the investment. Our
horses are a good deal below the
standard, and it will be money well
invested and public benefit to i'm
prove the quality. Mr.. Doty will be
glad to talk to our farmers and others
interested, and will take pleasure in
showing his horse. The handsome
animal is we'll worth visit.
