NOW IS THE TIME TO GET WELL.
Nature Helps Mi-O-na Cure Stomach
Troubles In Short Order.

The summer months are the best in
the whole year for the treatment and
cure of stomach troubles. The out
door life, with natural exercise, the
fruit and berries which are so freely
eaten, all help to restore healthy ac-
ton to the digestive organs.
Now when Nature will aid Mi.o-na
in curing indigestion and giving
strength to the stomach and whole d.
gestive system, is the best time to
use this remarkable remedy.
If you suffer with headaches, indi-
gestion, hatulency, specks before the
eyes, fermentation, heart burn, dizzl-
ness, or have variable appetite, and
a general feeling of dependency or
weakness, it shows clearly that the
stomach is not digesting the food as
it should.
Just one little tablet out of a So
cent box Of Mi.o-na for few days,
and all this will be changed for the
better, and health restored. Ask
Remnants Pharmacy to show you the
Mi-o-na guarantee.

Prize Fight Prevented.

The grand boxing carnival 80
brazenly advertised to take place in
Harpers Ferry last Friday night did
not take place, and there Was great
disappointment on the part of fifty or
more sports from Washington and
Baltimore, several hundred District
soldiers and considerable contin-
gent of local lights who desired to see
the prize fight. The Hon. John j..
O'Connor, of Washington, was the
gent who arranged the details of the
proposed fight, the principal feature
Of which was smuggling match be-
tween Mr.. Tommy Lowe, OF Washing
tou, and Mr.. Harry Scroggs. of Balti-
more, tor the championship OF the
South-ffteen rounds to be fought.
The hand bills also announced pre-
lmlnary fights between Ed. Crowley
and Tommy Ward, and Kid Egan
and Bud Hurley. Jonadab hall, in
Harper. Ferry, had been secured for
the fight and a regulation ring had
been laid of.
1t is strictly against the law to con-
duct a prize tight IN West Virginia,
and when States Attorney James NJ.
Mason heard of the proposed per-
Torrance he took immediate steps to
prevent it. He had Sheriff J. W.
Gardner and Deputy S. c. Young to
go to Harper's Ferry on Friday,
where warrants were sworn out for
the arrest Of the SIX pugllists and
O'Connor, their manager. 1t was the
intention to let the contest proceed
far enough to get good case and then
arrest the whole gang, but the fight
ers and their hackers got a tip that
the warrants had been issued and they
called the event of. There was
great deal of kicking about Mr.. Ma
SON g attitude in the matter, but he
very plainly let the pugilists under
stand that If they attempted to pull
Oft the fight they were liable to 4I ,OOO
fine and long term in the peniten-
tlary.
1t is said that pandemonium relgned
in Harpers Ferry Friday night. The
saloons were crowded, and long lines
of men stood waiting their turn to
get chance at the bar, where nu-
merous special beer-sllngers were kept
on the run to dispense the beverages.
Besides the gangs OF roughs that had
come from Washington and Baltimore,
there were hundreds of drunken SOL
dlers from the encampment at Boil
var, and this aggregation made night
hideous. The town was wide open,
and it is said that the local authorl-
ties made little effort to restrain the
lawlessness. The saloons were reap
ing harvest, and that seemed to be
the end desired. Many persons ex-
pressed themselves as being utterly
disguised at the license that was per-
mitted, and there will probably be
strong revolt against the wlde-open
policy of the present administration.

An Automobile Arrest.

A spectacular dash BY officers Wolf
and Lemen, Of Martinsburg, was made
to Shepherdstown last Thursday, At
torney H. H. Emmert bringing them
here IN his automobile in whirlwlnd
style. A night or two previous Mr.
Emmert's safe was robbed OF fifty dol
lars, and a colored youth named Har-
ry Beaner was believed to be guilty.
It was ascertained that he had come
to Shepherdstown in company with
Harry Washington, colored man for
merly of this place. and another COM
panion by the name Of Reed. The
three were arrested here by Sergeant
Shipley. The officers took Beaner
back to Martinsburg and also jailed
Reed as witness. Washington was
held here on the charge of carrying
concealed weapons, blackjack being
found in his pocket. He explained
the blackjack by saying that the Mar
tinsburg niggers were so ba-ad it was
necessary to carry some sort of wea-
pom. His defense was not regarded
as good, however, and he was fined
$3.50, which he later paid Beaner
had hearing in Msrtinsburg on Tues
day, and was returned to Jail to await
the action of the grand jury.

Increase In Rates.

The various fraternal insurance or
CARNATIONS OF this country, alter an
experience of thirty or forty years
have discovered that the rates unf Ter
which they have been working, Nd
which have been suficisst-te meet all
obligations up to this4ime, are not re-
garded as bein9kigh enough to meet
future Obligations and to assure the
permanent success of these societies.
The several organizations are now
readjusting their rates to make them
conform to new conditions and to pro-
vide for ample funds to meet all death
claims. The local lodge Of the Shield
of Honor has recently discussed this
matter fully, and has decided that
the plan adopted by the Supreme Of
fcials is an adequate and proper one,
and has become reconciled to the
change. The members Of Cliff City
Lodge feel that they will not suffer
any loss of membership, as the new
rate still gives them very cheap IN
surance. The. local lodge Is flourish
ing, and now has 81 members.

August 26th, requests US to announce
that this gathering will not be inter

1t is the intention of the survivors to
hold their reunion at the time and
place first announced, and they repeat
their invitation to all ex-ConfederateI

the picnic. Members of these com
panles will, OF course, participate in
the Flowing Springs reunion, as the
two gatherings are in no wise antsg-

Damage to the Roads.


The numerous heavy rains of this
summer have done good deal of dam
age to the county roads and turnplkes,
and considerable sums will be needed
to make necessary repairs. The wash.
ing of the roads has very clearly en-
phasized the absolute necessity of
good drainage, for it is only where
there is lack Of proper ditching that
the roads have been injured. 1t is
not wear, but water, that harms the
roads, and our road supervisors con-
cede this to be true. a practical
man said to the writer recently that
he thought no money ought to be ex-
pended in matchmaking our roads
until the roadbed was shaped up prop.
erly and the drains on either side
made of sufficient dimensions to carry
off all ordinary raintalls. He said a
campaign of ditchiug is more imPor-
taut than a continuance Of the ma
cadamizlng of our roads The splen-
did Shepherd turnpike, running north
ward from Shepherdstown, has been
badly damaged by having the crush
ed stone washed off, and now needs
considerable repairs that would have
been unnecessary if the drains had
been kept open and the bitches clear
ed. This fine road is a source of
pride to our community, and there is
general regret that it is allowed to
deteriorate. We hope our road su-
pervisor will give it especial atten-
tion-putting on crushed stone where
necessary and opening the drains SO
that water may not do any further
damage.

Seville, one OF the ancient capital

most charming Of places for the idler

a southern Spaniard can, taking pro

the guitar, and in dancing. They are
as care-free as any people one may
meet In Spain, and though the life OF
their city has not the bubbling ex'
uberance Of that in southern Italy, II
Is bright enough TO win for Seville the
character Of joyous place.
The Spanish have a proverb that
HE who has seen Seville has seen
a marvel" They are proud Of the
city, Of It's antiquity, the character
Of its people, and the beauty Of its
daughters.
The houses of Seville are very old,
some Of them dating from the Moor

doorways, odd windows, charming
patios. and other characteristic archl.

is the home OF the cloaked gallant

The utilization Of water power for
che creation Of electric energy has In
creased TO an extraordinary degree in
recent years, although It Is to be
noted that the power so far used is
only an infnitesimal fraction OF the
aggregate water power Of the world.
The amount Of water power utilIz.
ed has been estimated to be 10000
horse power In round numbers The
United States uses the largest
amount, mainly on account of the
employment Of the power Of Niagara
Falls, which also secures second place
TO Canada. In round numbers in the
United States about $4,000 horse
power; in Canada. 100000; In Italy,
about 100000; In France. 10000; in
Switzerland, 1856 900; in Germany, ST..
600; In Sweden. 1900. and in ether
countries lesser amounts. Al these
statistics are undoubtedly incomplete
tie aggregate water power utilized
for electric energy in the world Is
probably 100000 horse power, which
Is about twice the steam power used
IN England and Ireland combined.

At the preliminary trial, already

chine is raised about two feet each

resistance than a simple wing; such
as that of the insect or bat type or
the various simple mechanical wings
which have been hitherto used in
