Catarrhal TROUBLES PREVALENT.
Spring Months Cause Catarrh Breathe
HyOmei, and BE Cured

Catarrhal troubles are more COM
mon at this season than at any other
time of the year. The sudden chang
es that come du,ing the spring months
are productive Of may cases of ca
tarrh that without proper treatment
will become chronic.
The pleasantest, most convenient,
and only scientific method for the
treatment and cure of catarrh, is Hy-
omei. Simply put twenty drops in
the little pocket inhaler that comes
with every outfit, and then breathe
it for three minutes four times day.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but one dollar, and as the inhaler
will last life time and there is suf-
fcient Hyomei for several weeks
treatment, it is the most economical
catarrhal remedy known. Extra
bottles can be procured for fifty cents.
Ask Remnants Pharmacy to show
you the strong guarantee under which
they sell Hyomei.

We Won Our Fourth Game.

The Shepherd College baseball club
went to Sharpsburg last Saturday and
added another victory to their list by
defeating the club in that place by
the score OF 9 to s. This makes the
fourth game to their credit, and no
defeats. The game was quite exciting
toward the close, the score being tied
At the end of the 9Th inning, and the
hopes of our boys were in the last
quarter. Some effective pitching by
Reinhart and timely batting when it
was most needed saved the game,
however. The grounds were very poor,
and the fact that our boys wre I'M
used to them, no doubt, aided the
Sharpsburg club to run up the score
on their side. Glass and Wilson did
good work for Sharpsburg, but were
poorly supported in the field. Rein
hart, Morrow and Clendening COM
posed the battery for Shepherd Col
lege. A number of young ladies from
the school went over to witness the
game and rooted" most vigorously.

Educational pay In shepherdstOwn.

Last Monday was educational day
in Shepherdstown, and it was an IN
teresting and instructive occasion t
those who were present at the Lectures
that were delivered. In the morninE
a meeting was held at the Graded
School, which was conducted by DR.
Waitman Barbe, of the West Virgins
University. In the afternoon at z 81
o'clock the principal meeting OF the
day was held in the college auditor
ium, in which had gathered large
audience Of persons from every Sec
ton Of the county. The teachers Of
the Charles Town public school, edu-
Gators from Harpers Ferry, public
school teachers, members OF the board
of education and school trustees from
the several districts Of the county
were present, as well as many other
persons who were interested IN the
cause OF education.
Prot. J. G. Knutti, principal OF
Shepherd College, presided and ID
troduc DR.. Barbe, who spoke mos.
earnestly on school work in West Vlr-
ginia, it's needs and it's progress
Hon. w. w. Stetson, State Superln-
tendent of Schools in Maine, was then
introduced, and he made a splendid
address. 1t was full OF practical sug,
gestion to teachers and parents and
school officials, and its wit and WIS
dom held the closest attention OF his
hearers. DR.. Stetson is a man OF
ideas, and he has the happy faculty
of impressing his points upon those to
whom he speaks with singular direct
ness and force. He stands for pro-
gress in school affairs, and shows how
it pays to spend money in education.
At the conclusion Of his address DR..
Barbe again spoke, and accented the
necessity for efficient school suPervls-
ion and the teaching Of those things
that were to be closest to the bent OF
the youthful minds. ochooI conSo4lI
dation was discussed, and on this and
other points, the opinions of County
Superintendent J. A Engle and 9TH
ers in the audience were drawn out.
DR.. Stetson said that three things
had impressed him here. First, that
so far as he had observed, Jefferson
county was the only strictly rural
county in the United States in which
every school had nine-months term.
Second, that Shepherd College was
the only co-educational school OF which
be had knowledge in which there
were more young men students than
Young women. Third, that from an
experience in visiting the schools OF
two continents, the Shepherd College
building was the bes, and hands 'mest
school structure for the money That
he had yet seen.
Although the meeting lasted nearly
three hours, there was regret that 1t
had to he broken up, and the auul-
ence seemed to have been thoroughly
pleased and edited at what they had
heard. The Shepherd College Or
chestra rendered some excellent mu-
sic and Miss Williams sang solo very
sweetly.
There was great regret that State
Superintendent Thos. G. Miller could
not be present, as he had intended.
The critical illness of his wife at
Fairmont kept him by her bedside at
that place.
