RAILROAD SURE.
In Operation through the County to Han
cock by Next Fall.

From Bedford Hawkeye.
A personal letter received by
the managlngeditor of The Hawk
eye from friend in Washington,
brings the information that there
is not shadow of doubt as to the
building of the new Baltimore &
Ohio line from Somerset county
by way of Bedford to Hancock.
Md. This was predicted by The
Hawkeye several months ago and
later the same statement was
made by the Plttsburg and Phila.
delphia papers.
The Washington writer says
that many public impI ovements
have been delayed by the unfavor-
able business conditions of the
past three months, but that times
are brig hter and the indications
are that railroad enterprises will
be pushed. The uncertainty as
to the Presidential election has,
he says, had but little to do with
such matters. The construction
of the new line over the South
Penn right Of way has become a
necessity and can not long be de.
layed. The railway people have
viewed the situation in every light
and there is but one thing for the
Baltimore and Ohio to do, and
that is to build and build quick.
The writer of the letter conf
IDENTITY declares that one of the
important events in Bedford
county next spring will be the op-
ening of the new line from Som
erset to Mann's Choice. Balti-
more and Ohio trains will be run
by way Of the after place to Cum
berland, where thep will take the
main line. Work on the Hancock
extension, however, will be push
ed as speedily as possible and it
is stated that the fall of 1905 will
witness the opening of the new
road through to the Potomac at
Hancock.

Hustontown, Oct. 10. In a hot
ly contested game of ball on the
home grounds last Saturday the
visitors went down to defeat by a
score of 1892, with the home boys
at the bat. The boys from the
Fort started in with the avowed
intention of showing our team
how to play ball, and at the end of
the third inning it looked as if
they were going to make their
word good. But our boys were
only ''playing 'possum." They
pulled up their suspenders, tight
ened their belts, borrowed the
aprons which the kind, mothcrly
ladies of F't. Littleton had brought
along for their boys and got down
to ''biz," and for the remaining
six innings the visitors simply
weren't lin it" for a minute.
The conduct of one, and possi-
bly, two, of the visiting team was
not above reproach; but every
thing goes IN a ball game, there
fore we don't hesitate for MN
ute in calling the boys from Fort
Littleton a gentlemanly set of
players.
Umpire Dawney's decisions were
fair and according to 1904 rules,
which we would advise some of
our opponents to study more care
fully before the season for 1905
opens.

SAMUEL HOUP.
New Grenada, Oct. 1O.-Our
village and entire community was
shocked last Wednesday morning
when the sad news was 'phoned in
every direction that Samuel Houp
had suddenly passed away. The
particulars, as we learned, are as
follows: During the past year he
had been failing rapidly but he
still attended to most of his work.
On the morning of his death, being
in about his usual health, he drove
from his home near New Grenada
to Orlando Wible's near HubbleS-
vile, distance of about + miles,
to finish repairing clover huller
fer Jesse G. Bolinger. He had
work there on Tuesday but had
not succeeded in completing GER
tain part of the work and re-
marked to some that he was going
down again-that he didn't want
to give up without mastering the
job. Arriving at Mr.. Wible's he
was there only a little while, when,
STOPPING down to pick up some
thing, be fell forward on the barn
floor, expiring instantly. Orlando
While and Jesse and Scott Boiling
er were present at the time. Mrs.
Houp was sent for, who upon ar
irving at the scene was almost
overcome with grief. After due
consideration, and by consent of
Mrs. Houp, it was deemed unncc-
essary to hold IN inquest: hence
the body was taken to his late res
ldence and prepared for burial.
Remains were inferred in Beth
ell cemetery Friday afternoon,

Old Age.

Old age as it comes in the orderly
process of Nature is a beautiful and
majestic thing. The very shadow OF
eclipse which threatens it makes it
the more priced. 1t stands for ex-
D erience, knowledge, wisdom and
counsel. That is old age as it should
be. But old age az IL 80 often is
means nothing but a second childhood
of mi nd and body. What makes the
difference? Very largely the care OF
the stomach In youth and the full
strength of manhood it doesn't seem to
matter how we treat the stomach. We
abuse it, overwork it, injure it. We
don't suffer from it much. But when
age comes the stomach is worn out. 1t
can't prepare and distribute the need
ed nourishment to the body. and the
body, unnourished. falls into senile
decay. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery is wonderful medicine for
old people whose stomachs are "weak"
and whose digestions are poor" It's
invigorating effects are felt by mind as
we'll as body. 1t takes the sting from
old age, and makes old people strong.

KING PETERS CROWN.
SerVia'S Ruler Is to Have Cheap
Headgear.

The government of Servia has decid-
ed that King Peter ought to be proper
" crowned this summer, says the Bel
grade correspondent of the London Pan
Mall Gazette. 1t is hoped that his coro-
nation in Zitcha, the old and still part
" ruined church of old Seryian kings,
will increase in a measure the peoples
interest in their new king. 1t has been
decided that piece of an old bronze
cannon with which the grandfather OF
King Peter fought his first battles
against the Turks hundred years ago
should be manufactured into the shape
of a crown AS not a single precious
stone or pearl is to be added to this
bronze crown, its intrinsic value Will
not exceed flo $50. King Peter is to
be anointed and crowned. But the
cheapness of his crown is already CIV
ing occasion for the exercise of criti-
cisms in the coffee houses in Belgrade.
