Entertainment Next "Wednesday.

The first of the Shepherd College
course of lectures and entertainments
will be the concert next Wednesday
night, November 10th, by the Whit
ney Brothers Quartet. This company
is one of the most popular now before
the public, and wherever they have
given entertainments they have been
most highly commended. In addi-
ton to their vocal music, Edwin NJ
Whitney is a thoroughly excellent
reader and impersonator, and thus a
varied and interesting programme Is
assured.
Tickets for the entire course are
now on sale at $3.50, and single ad-
mission tickets may be obtained for
so cents Seats may be reserved at
Remnants Pharmacy on and after
1t is hoped that our people will be
liberal in their patronage of this Sc
ries of entertainments, and that all
who can will buy season tickets.
Prof. Knutti assures us that the course
for this season is of high order of
e1cellence-perhaps the best that has
ever been given here.
The entertainment next Wednes-
day evening will begin promptly at
8 o'clock, and patrons are urged to
be in their seats at that time.
The Buffalo Courier has this to say
of concert in that city recently:
The Whitney Brothers Concert held
last evening carried one of the largest
audiences Of the season by storm. The
four brothers are magnificent specimens
of young manhood. They are all fine
singers, each perfectly ADAPTED to his
part. Mr.. E. NJ Whitney is good i'm
personator The whole concert was
pronounced success.

Burglars at Shenandoah Junction.

The postofice at Shenandoah juno
ton was raided by burglars last Thurs
day night, who blew the safe to pieces
and got for their trouble about ten
dollars worth of stamps and few
dollars in money. The burglars used
a heavy charge when they blew open
the safe, for not only was the safe
smashed into fragments, but the store
in which it is located was wrecked
and all the glass broken out of the
building The loss to Postmaster
Shirley is considerable. A number
OF persons heard the explosion, but
did not locate the sound and made no
investigation. Two men were arrest.
ed on the charge of committing the
crime and were taken to Charles Town
Jail. A week or two ago J. Butler
Marshall's store at the Junction was
robbed of fifty or sixty dollars worth
of shoes.

A Deer Far From Home.

A Deer Far From Home
The farm hands working for T. E.
Clevinger on the Brown place east of
town were given some excitement
Thursday morning. While they
were loading corn deer was seen to
leap a wire fence into the field near
them. 1t walked about apparently
frightened for a time, but finally
stopped in a secluded part of the
field. Mr.. Herbert Clevinger hur-
riedly procured gun, and got near
enough to the animal to give it two
loads with bird shot. The ammuni-
ton proved too light to bring down
the deer, and it scampered away,
leaping fences in its course with
nimbleness that delighted 'onloOkers.
The same day the deer was seen on
the farms of Messrs. j. H. Dutterer
and John G. Burns. Its presence so
far from its haunts in the mountains
can not be easily accounted for. 1t is
believed, however, that the animal
had been frightened out Of the noun
tain by sportsmen who hunt them at
this season, and had wandered un-
harmed to the secuon where it was
seen in this county.-Charles Io10n
Advocate.

But few people are entirely free from
indigestion at this season of the year.
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is not only the
best remedy to use because it digests
what you eat but because it also ena-
bles the digestive apparatus to assimi-
late and transform all foods into tissue

stomach, heartburn, belching, and all
forms of Indigestion.

A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled.
Home is sad. Oh. God. how dreary.
Lonesome, lonely, every spot,
Listening for her voice till weary,
Weary for we hear It not.
Oh without one lingering gran.
My dear mother passed away,
And we cannot help but weep,
When we know she's gone TO stay.
Dear mother how can We give you up,
You whom we loved 50 well!
How can we drink this bitter cup
And say TO thee farewell!
Day by day we saw her fade
And slowly sink away.
Yet in our hearts We often prayed
That she might longer stay.
Through suffering. she breathed not murmur,
For the Comforter stood by her side.
And whispered. Fear not am with thee,
With me thou shalt ever abide!

the beautiful new church erected by

variety of combinations that cost about
$500. Those who heard it Tues

it was, by real artist, its music was
divine. Miss Lorraine Turner and 81.

FEARS SWALLOW IS DEATH OMEN.
A Bird Drops at Girls Feet and Causes
Mothers Alarm.

On the occasion of her graduation
from Cardone Catholic school at Georgr-
town, KY. Miss Mary Eta Proctor Of
Lexington had just stepped forward to
read her essay when a swallow flew in
at the window and fell at her feet. The
girl picked up the bird and revived it,
and. walking to the window, permitted il
TO fy away, after which she began her
ESSAY, the subject of which was THE
Flight of the Swallow" This remark
able coincidence recalled to the mother
the fate of another of her children sew
eral years ago, which was marked by
similar experience. On that occasion
swallow flew In at the window of the
Proctor home and found lOdgment be-
hind a picture of one Of the children
hanging on the wall. and there it was
found dead A few weeks later the
original of the picture also died, and
Mrs. Proctor believed the visit of the
bird was a premonition of the child's
fate. Mrs. Proctor has been made to
take a hopeful view of the situation by
her husband and daughter by the fact
that the recent visit of the swallow was
not attended by fatal results, but that
it was revived and went on its way
rejoicing.

When in 1869 the Canadian govern

title to the whole of Western Canada,
embracing an area of well on to 2,00O.-
900 square miles of land. that ulti-

home as well as abroad who declared il
to be a bad bargain. When again, in
the early seventies the government be-
gan the effort to build the Canadian
Pacific railway from ocean to ocean to
open up this country, some of the ablest
men inside as well as outside declared
the road would never pay, not because
they were not anxious to see the Domin-
ion grow and expand, but because they
had no knowledge of what nature had
done for the great West. They believed
at best that the soil was not good and
even il good, the latitude of the coun-
try precluded the possibility of anything
like moderately successful agriculture /;
but it has remained for time, but a short
period at that, to do the country justice.
