LARGEST Warship Planned.

Plans are now being prepared for a
new batt!eship which will eclipse any
other in existence. Its main battery
will consist of ten pinch guns and its
secondary battery of twenty naval g.
inch guns. The record of cures made
by the famous Hostetters Stomach Bit
tiers in cases of stomach, liver and bow
ell complaints completely eclipses that
of any other remedy. Its great success
has been due entirely to its ability to
restore the appetite, promote sound
sleep, strengthen the organs of diges-
ton and assimilation and thus curing
heartburn, bloating, nausea, sick head
ache, costiveness, torpid liver, impure
blood, chills, colds and la grippe. We
urge every sufferer to try bottle at
once. Good health will be your sure
reward. Thousands of men and women
have found this true. Your druggist
will supply you with the genuine.

Proceedings of the Legislature.

The Roger bill prohibiting the sale
of opium or cocaine in any form, un-
less upon the prescription of physi-
clan, passed the House. The bill pro-
vides fines Of 81 to 800 for the first
ofense, and $50 to 5000 for the Sec
ond, with 80 days Jail sentence at the
discretion of the court.
Mr.. Johnson's "six-shooter bill
passed the Senate. 1t makes the PEN
atty for carrying deadly weapons the
first time $50 fine and one to six
months in Jail, and the second time a
felony. 1t empowers the circuit court
to grant licenses-to persons to carry
deadly weapons upon the showing of
proper cause in open court and the
payment Of $40.
The House adopted resolutions COM
mending the stand President Roose-
welt has taken regarding the regula-
ton of railroad rates, and instructing
the Senators and Representatives from
this State to assist in the passage Of a
measure designed to carry that idea
into operation.
An acrimonious debate took place
on the bill to FIX the maximum pas
senger rate on railroads at two cents.
Mr.. Lanham, of Grafton, patron of
the bill, made fierce attack on the
railroad lobby, the committee that had
adversely reported the bill and the
railroads, which, he said, carried the
poor man for three cents mile and
the rich man for two cents. His crit
icism of the committee stirred up one
member-Mr. SeamaB-who replied
in speech severely caustic, which for
time made a personal encounter look
promising. Lanham won a distinct
victory, and his bill, instead Of being
rejected on the recommendation OF the
committee, was advanced.
The bill of Senator Hatfield, relat-
ing to the form of ballots to be used
in the State, is up for it, third read.
ing in the Senate and is likely to be-
come law. 1t requires the use of
party emblems, and under the name
of the party on each ballot is to be
printed a square one half Of an inch
in diameter. A voter desiring to vote
a straight ticket makes cross in this
square. A smaller square is printed
opposite the name of each candi ate,
and a person voting split ticket
makes a cross on the square opposite
the mama of the candidate for whom
he desires to vote.

Give Your Stomach a Rest.

Your food must be properly digested
and assimilated to be Of any value TO
you If your stomach is weak o: dis
orderly take Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. 1t
digests what YOU eat and gives the stom-
ach rest, enabling it to recuperate,
take on new life and grow strong again.
Kodol cures sour stomach, gas, bloat-
ing, heart pal pitation, and all digestive
disorders. l.. A. Soper, Of Little Rock,
KY, writes us: 1--WE feel that Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure deserves all the COM
mendation that can be given it, as it
saved the life of our little girl when
she was three years old. She is now
six and we have kept 1t for her con-
stanllY, but of course she only takes it
now when anything disagrees with her. !"

Want Us to Pay $l6,OOO,O 900.

What was called The West Vlr-
gina Debt Commission made Its ap'
pearence in Charleston last week, to
make demand that our State pay
some sixteen millions of dollars alleged
to be our share Of old Virginia s debt.
The commission was composed of Jo-
seph Button, of Richmond, clerk OF
the Virginia Senate; Attorney-G ener-
al william A. Anderson, of Lexington,
and Hon. Randolph Harrison, OF
Lynchburg, a member OF the Leglsla-
tIre. Other members of the COM
mission are Congressman d. D. Flood
and John B. Moon.
This commission was appointed by
the State of Virginia to push cOllec-
ton of Virginia's claim against this
State. The members of the commission
said they expected to show West Vir-
ginias Just liability with such clear
6ess that the officials will recommend
steps looking toward its assumption
but it is probable that they only came
to make formal demand before enter
ing suit in the United States court
against this State. An act was pass
ed some months ago authorizing the
brin .ing of such suits, and 1t seems
likely that they simply wish to make
one more appeal for peaceful settlement en-
before going to war Governor White
sent a brief message to the Legislature
announoingthe demand of the commits
sion, but there is no likelihood that
any liability will be acknowledged;
West Virginia has always repudlated.
the idea that it owes any share OF
this debt. As matter Of fact, most
of the certificates are now in the hands
of spectators who got them for prac,
ticaily nothing, and our State will
fight to the bitter end against any

little girls were unconsci Jus from the
cold, while Mrs. Dietz lay huddled in
front of them with her 15-months- old
baby clasped to her breast. 1t was
the baby girls cry that saved the
family. Thank God such things do
not happen in the country!

AND now here comes the Charles
Town Advocate and shows irritation
at the modest statement of the REGIS
TER that our circulation is larger than
that of any other paper in Jefferson
county. Calls our remark an annual
chestnut And this, too, after the
.Aduocate has been Haunting at its mast
head for a year or more the declara-
ton that it guarantees larger clrcu-
lation than any other paper IN the
county, weekly chestnut that, un-
like ours, hasn't even the merit Ct be-
ing true. Then the Advocate rashly
goes on to say:
eve make this offer to any farmer
who intends TO have a sale this spring :;
The AGv0cGte will insert his advertise
ment free if he finds upon investigation
by any means that he may adopt that
the AdV0cate circulation is not more
than double that of the Shepherdstown
REGISTER in that portion of the country
living south and west Of the main line OF
the Baltimore IL Ohio Railroad, and in
Gliding more than three -fourths OF the
entire county. 1t is up TO you, Mr..
Farmer, to examine Mr.. Snyder S claims
about the value of his advertising"
We advise our farmer friends to
take up this proposition mighty quick.
They haven't thing to lose by it
neither has the REGISTER. We new
err claimed to have more subscribers
north or south or east or west Of some
place or other than the Advocate-we
are only certain that we print more
papers than any other Office in the
county and also have larger circu-
lation in Jefferson county. We don't
believe the Advocate has double the
REGISTERS circulation south and west
of the B. & 0. Railroad, and we will
be pleased to show our subscription
list to any farmer who wants to get
that free advertising from the Advo-
cate. IF he has double our number
We are willing to own up for the good
of the farmer.

NOTES FROM NEARBY.

Miss Lizzie BoYwell and Mr.. G. E..
Matthias, both of Martineburg. were
married in Chambersburg, Pa, last
week.
A premature explosion of a blast on
the Wabash extension near Dam No.
blew an Italian to fragments and
badly injured several other persons last
Friday.
Miss Marie E. Brewer, of Hagers-
town, whose mysterious disappearance
had alarmed her friends, is again
home. She was taken sick while
travelling and had been in hospital
in Richmond.
The old and popular firm of Beck
& Delamater, lumber dealers, of Ha.
gerstown, has closed its factory and
yards and will go out Of business
voluntarily. 1t has been in existence
% years, and both members of the
firm have grown old and disinclined
to active business.
The B. & O. and Western Mary
land Railroad have come to peacea-
BILE settlement in regard to the right
of way for the Wabash extension and
it's occupancy of canal lands The
W. NJ. pays the B. & o. $1,000
and gets all the privileges it wants
from the canal.
An object under the ice in the
canal near Pearre, about ten miles
above Hancock, attracted some men
to the place, and on making an inves-
tigation they found the body OF an
unknown man. The body wasi in such
a condition as to be scarcely recogniz'
able as human being. Investigation
revealed that the body was that Of
John Hyland, boss on the Wabash
work, who disappeared last October.
The fourishing town Of Hancock
continues to increase its metropolitan
acouirements. There have been sev-
eral thrilling events in the past week
"a man grabbed lady on the street
without being introduced to her; the
Wabash Railroad bought more land /;
Exline's house was ROBBED man g
hat was blown into the river as he
was crossing the bridge; a ladies'
sewing society was organized; anoth-
er story was added to the proposed
new hotel; the Hancock finch club
defeated the Berkeley Springs finch
club Constable Rhodes saved man
from being lynched horse ran away
with sleigh. In the language of one
OF her proud citizens, Hancock is just
full of newsstand booze.
Benjamin Lippkins, colored, con-
victed Of the murder of Richard Ely
son, also colored, on July 9 last, was
hanged at Berryvllle last Friday in
the presence of about 200 persons.
The hanging took place IN large
tent, which concealed the execution
from the view of hundreds who came
to town expecting to witness it.
Sheriff w. w. Swallmood sprung the
trap at 9 so and at 10 o'clock the
physicians pronounced life extinct.
Lippkins protested conversion some
weeks ago, and displayed remarkable
nerve on the scaffold, saying good.by
to everyone. Lippkins and Ellyson
had quarreled with each other for a
year, and on the night of July 9 they
met in Metz's saloon. Lippklns fired
six shots at Ellyson, FIVE Of the bull
let's taking effect. Ellyson lived only
about an hour. This is the first hang.
ing in the history of Clarke county,
which was organized in 1886. The
scaffold used was one that had been
used at Charles Town several years
ago on which to hang a negro MUIR
derer.

The story is told that woman
alighted from a train at Williamson
some time ago, says the Mercersburg
Journal, and inquired of the only
loafer on the platform where she
could obtain a hotel. The loafer
grinned and informed her that he
guessed she would have to bunk with
the station agent Sir" she indig-
nantly replied, I'D have you UNDER
stand I'm a lady" The lounger
looked at her a moment and then
casually remarked. "Well, SOS the
station agent"
