A Fine Concert.

The concert given by the Royal
Hungarian Court Orchestra in the
auditorium last night was delight
full performance, thoroughly artistic
and delightfully."- satisfying. 1t is
probable that no better music has ever
been heard in Shepherdstown, either
as to the quality Of the selections or
expressive rendition Of the various
numbers. A very large audience was
present, and the only drawback to
their complete enjoyment was the Ill
manners of few persons in the rear
Of the hall, who, unappreciative of the
good music themselves, marred the
enjoyment Of tfore within the Z ne OF
their active tongues.

Important Sale of Limestone Land.

The sale of fine body of limestone
land in the vicinity of Millville at a
good price indicates the trend of de-
velopment in the quarry industry in
this county. Mr.. Charles Becker, the
Baltimorean, who several years ago
bought large body of land east of
the river in that section of the county,
has sold oil acres of it, together with
a small tract of four acres on the west
side of the river near Millville station,
to H. J. Finley, of Washington, the
consideration being $4,000. The
land lying east of the river was pur-
chased by Mr.. Becker, of the estate of
the late VIM. Lucas, at $40 per acre,
in 1888. 1t is said that Mr., Finley
represents a syndicate who intend
to open extensive quarries on the land.
The tract thus transferred is rich in
dolomite and limestone deposits, and
its development will greatly add to
the importance of Mlllville as an In
dustrial center.-Adu0cGte.

CURES CATARRHAL DEAFNESS.
One Weeks Use Of HyOmei Did More
Than Six Months Treatment by
Specialists.

In the treatment of deafness which
is often a result of catarrh Hyomel
acts almost Immediately upon the In
famed membrane and the hearing be-
gins to return at once. A few days
treatment will bring relief, and III
three or four weeks, according to the
severity of the case, cure will be
accomplished.
Miss Meeks of Mattewan, N. Y,
says: "Hyomei is truly wonderful.
l have used it but a short time and
see great change in my condition.
Ny hearing is improving rapidly,
and l had no idea l would improve so
rapidly in so short time. My
breath which was so offensive to my
self and others, has lost its bad odor
entirely. l have spent great deal
of money with catarrh specialists and
can truly say that six months of their
treatment is not equal to one month
of Hyomei.
Remnants Pharmacy is selling Hy-
omei upon the unusual plan of agree
ing to return the money If the medl-
cine does not cure.
A complete outfit costs only $l.oO
and consists of an inhaler that can be
carried in the vest pocket, medicine
dropper and bottle of Hyomei, The
inhaler will last lifetime and there
is enough Hyomei for several weeks
treatment. Additional bottles of Hy-
omei can be procured for so cents
Compare this small expense with the
fees charged by specialists and then
remember that if Hyomei does not
cure Remnants Pharmacy will re-
turn your money.

An Epidemic of Grip.

An epidemic of grip or influenza
has prevailed in this section the past
two weeks, and few families have es.
capped the disease. 1t is estimated
that fully 800 people have been sick
in Shepherdstown, and we believe this
is moderate count. The disease has
not been very severe, and those at
fected have been belfast only few
days. Reports from neighboring towns
state that the grip is quite general.

A Sad Accident.


A distressing and fatal accident be-
fell Mary Link Hartzell, the infant
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Herbert 81.
Hsrtzell, at the home of her parents
in Pittsburg last Saturday. The
child, who was about fifteen months
old, was playing about the room
where Mrs. Hartzell was at work,
when it fell backward into pan full
of very hot water. 1t was dreadfully
scalded, and though everything was
done that was possible, its life could
not be saved. After lingering until
Sunday morning the little sufferer
passed away. The parents brought
the body to the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
A. S. Link, the child's grandparents,
at Duffields, and after service there on

A BAD; nrn

In the fall of 1895 contracted that fear
full disease, Blood Poison. 1t gained such
Roadway that | was forced to resign my
position and seek relief at Hot Springs.
After spending all the means l had Invent
to Memphis In less than three weeks l
was in hospital and after nine weeks of
suffering 1 was discharged as cured. In
less than month every bone in my body
seemed to be affected and felt as if they
would break at the least exertion. Again
1 was compelled to resign, and returned
to the hospital for a seven weeks stay.
When I came out I was advised to try
farming. When first went on the farm |
prevailed on the only firm who handled
drugs to get me one dozen bottles of S. S.
s. At that time both of my hands were
broken out with blisters and l was covered
with boils and sores. In the meantime my
druggist had gotten two dozen bottles Of
S. S. S. for me and began its use, and
after taking the thirteenth bottle not a
sore or boil was visible. R. B. POWELL.

Williamsport saloon-keeper, John W.
Athey, was on trial tor stealing chick
ems. George W. McCardell, editor Of

witness stand testifying as to what a
good man Athey was and how impos-
sible it was for him to violate hen
roost, when States Attorney Albert
J. Long openly accused McCardell Of
taking an undue interest in the pris-
oner and of meddling with witnesses
in the case. This incensed the Will
transporter, and when court adjourned
be shook an editorial fist as big as a
ham under Mr.. Longs nose and
threatened terrible things. Fortu-
nately the sheriff and his deputies
and several constsbles were on hand,
and no gore was split. Athey could
not convince the jury that an honest
farmers chickens had gotten into his
coop by accident, and he was found
guilty.
