Had the Knot Tied Twice.

A couple of days after Christmas
rather nice looking young couple ar
rived in Shephefdstown and regis
tered at the Entler Hotel as Mr.. and
Mrs. John T. Hiedler. They were
evidently bride and groom, but their
honeymoon did not seem to be one of
unalloyed happiness. Indeed, they had
an argument soon after they arrived
that was decidedly warm, and there
was good deal of amusement when
the facts in their case was made
known. The man was John Thomas
Hiedler, of Portsmouth, Ohio, form
srly ofShenandoah, Va, and the lady
who was his bride was formerly Miss
Mary Veronica Harrington, of Win
chester. The bride was a Catholic
and the groom was Protestant. They
had been married the previous day
at the home of the bride in Winches-
ter by Rev. W. A. McKeefry, pastor
of the Sacred Heart Catholic Church,
but the groom was not satisfied with
the ceremony. He wanted the SER
vice repeated by a Protestant minis
ter, so as to be sure they were prop
erly married. Nothing could satisfy
him that it was all right, and the ar
gument was quite spirited between
him and his wife. He agreed that
she wa. married to him all right, but
he contended that he was not mar
ried to her. Finally it was decided
that the knot should be tied over,
and they hunted up Rev. G. E. A.
Marshall, Of the Episcopal Church,
and asked him if he would remarry
them, explaining the circumstances.
Mr.. Marshall said he would marry
them as often a, they desired, provid-
ed they had license. They had no
license, so of course he could not per-
form the ceremony, but recommend
cd that they go to HagerItown or
Charles Town. The groom said they
had to go to Hagerstown anyhow, SO
after telephoning to that place they
took the next train, got a license and
were once more married, this time ac-
cording to the ritual Of the Protes-
tant Episcopal Church, by Rev. Hen
ry Evan Cotton. Later, both Of
them happy and satisfied, they left for
their new home in Portsmouth.

lister, as am sure many mothers will
be glad to know of such healing and
strength creating medicine for their
children"
The proprietor of Remnants Phar'
macy says The reason Vinol accom-
plishes such results after everything
else fails is because it contains in a con-
centrated form all of the curative,
strength-creating properties Of cod liver
oil, but without a drop of oil to upset
the stomach and retard its work, where
as many of the limitations of Ninol,
claiming to be cod liver oil p!epara-
lions, contain drugs and chemicals
claimed to have the same effect as Vi
mol, but which cannot, as they never
came from the Gods liver at all and con-
tain no cod liver oil elements. The Sc
cret of separating the medicinal ele-
ments of the cod liver from the oil is
known only to the makers Of Ninol.
Therefore, there can be no other cod
liver oil preparation just as good or just
like Vinol.
So sure are we that Vinol is far SUI
perior to all other tones, cod liver oil
and emulsions that we freely offer to
return the money in every case where
il fails to give perfect satisfaction.

Ar last Port Arthur has fallen.

AT last Port Arthur has fallen.
The brave Russians under the incom-
parable General Stoessel. after having
fought off the swarming japanese for
ten months, were forced to give up on
Monday, and General Nogi and his
brown-skinned troops have taken ros-
session of the forts and the city. The
operations against Port Arthur began
on February s, 1904, when the Jap
anese attacked the Russian war ships
and blockaded the port. The siege
proper began July 30, when the JaPs
got their first guns to bear upon the
Russian forts. At the beginning OF
the siege General Stoessel had gar
rison of $4,000 soldiers. He fought
until his army was literally worn out
and the limit Of human endurance
was reached. OF the 50 900 men who
defended Port Arthur in July, II 900
have been killed, 10000 are badly
wounded or sick, and only 5000 re-
NAMED to defend the forts. Even
these were sick or slightly wounded,
1000 Of them unable to fight. STILL
with undaunted courage, the feeble
remnant fought on until finally their
ammunition gave out. Then they
surrendered The japanese losses
during the siege were about 10000
dead and as many more wounded
They were reinforced constantly, and
the victorious army numbered lOO,.
900 when they captured the city.
The japanese gave the Russians the
honors of war.
1t is not likely that the fall of
Port Arthur will end the war. The
Russians have vast resources, and
their stolid, enduring bravery, their
grim determination, will in the end,
we believe, be more than match for
the dashing fighting and brilliant
courage of the Japs. At least we
hope so.

The Canal Sold.


The Board of Public Works OF Mary
land has sold the State interest in the
Chesapeake & Ohio Canal to the Wa
bash Railroad interests for $l55,OOO.
After advertising for bids, two were re-
ceived, one from the Wabash inter,
ests, through F. S. Landstreet, and
the other from representative OF the
B & 0. Railro4d. The bidsof the
first named was $4,000 and that OF
the B. & O. $l5l, 600. After cOnsid-
ering the matter for couple OF weeks
the board accepted the Wabash bid
and so the State gives up its interest
in the waterway in which 1t sunk, first
to last, some $2O,000,0oO:
The acquisition of the States rights
does not give the Wabash control OF
the canal, however. Control is held
by the B. & o. Railroad, which owns
a majority of the 1874 bonds; The
Wabash secures legal rights, though
that will give it a standing in court
and interesting legal proceedings may
be anticipated next year, when the
operation of the canal under a pre-
vious order of court will terminate.
The Wabash now has the right to use
certain canal property in the building
of its line from Cumberland to Han
cock, but it cannot build along the
canal towpath or bed, nor can 1t at
present interfere with the maintenance
of the canal as a waterway. 1t Is
probably only a question OF Judlclous
political influence and legal contro-
versy until the Wabash will come into
full possession of the canal to do with
it as it may.
We expect to see in a few years the
canal transformed into. railway, as
it ought to be, for its usefulness as a
waterway has been ended since 1t
passed into control Of the B. q u.
lfthe Wabash means to operate a great
trans. continental line, as asserted, the
canal will be very important Ink
in the chain. It's possession would
give the Wabash entrance into Wash
ington. thing greatly to be desired
as well as into Baltimore. 1t Is as
serted, and the assertion is probably
true that the Wabash could build
railroad from Hancock to Washington
along the canal, and thence across
country to Baltimore, as cheaply as
the Western Maryland Railroad could
be rebuilt to fit it for through traffic.
The thing sought for by railroads IN
these days is easy grades, and the ca
nal offers an ideal line in this respect.
We make the prediction that before
another decade passes, the bay OF the
patient mule will have finally gwen
way to the screech Of the locomotive
whistle. And maybe Shepherdstown
will have two trunk lines direct to
the nations capital.

The Japs as Soldiers

Many prominent military men OF Eu-
rope and America have expressed the
opinion that the Japanese are the best
OF soldiers. This assertion may be some
what exaggerated, but still their won
derful showing in the war with Russia
prove them to be well trained and cour-
ageous. The wonderful cures made by
the celebrated Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters during the past so years prove it to
be the most reliable family medicine in
the world for indigestion, dyspepsia,
constipation, billiousness, general de-
bility, kidney and liver troubles, female
disorders, chills, colds or malaria. We
urge you to try bottle to-day and test
it for your own satisfaction, also get a

Such requests are continually coming
IN ms. and we have over and over again
published in the Register for the benefit
of Shepherdstown people, not only our
opinion of Vinol and why it is so FAR
superior to all of the other tonics and
cod liver oil preparations, but unques-

of citizens proving its wonderful cura-
tive aud strength creating properties.
Mrs. Hoskins writes Our boy since
a child has suffered terribly with brHu-
cbitis during cold weather. For years
we used cod liver oil, emulsions and
other medicines, which upset his stom-
ach, gave only temporary relief, and
did not cure. Vinol was recommended
and we tried it, and | am thankful to
say he is entirely cured and in better
health than he has been for years. l
wish you would publish this in the Reg

BILE for some time. Ny sister-in-law has
had the same trouble and was not able

entirely cured. She now eats heartily
and is in good health. am glad to say
Kodol gave me instant relief. Sold by

CONSUMPTION

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the conSumptive needs
most.
Scott Emulsionisthem
ern method of feeding fat to
the conSumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive Stomachs.
Scott's Emulsion is the most
-ained of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophos-
phiteS in SCOTS Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has special
action on the diseased lungs.
