A Interesting Occurrence.

The following pitiful story ora rail,
roader we take from the Klngwooa
wv. Va.) Argus of last week. 1t is
one of the saddest things We have
ever read:
A tragedy was enacted on the rail-
road last week this side Of Pickens
that was as thrilling and pathetic as
ever told in verse or. story, and the
leading role was played by Preston
county man, Frank Carrico, son OF
John W. Carrico, the justice OF the
peace at Rowlesburg. The young
man lived at Fairmont and was an
engineer CD the B. & 0. railroad run
ming to Pickens and back, up one day
and back the next. Sunday of last
week he took his nine-year-old boy on
the engine with him going up. Next
morning when ready to make the re-
turn trip at FIVE o'clock the father told
the boy he had better ride back with
the baggage master, as the boy had
gotten acquainted with him. The
father evidently had premonltlon OF
what was coming, for short distance
this side of Pickens, near Craddock
Station, they ran into a large rock
that had rolled down on the track
and the engine was derailed and went
over the bank into the river. The
fireman saved himself by jumping out
Carrico was pinned down with his legs
under the engine and barely able to
keep his head above water, and had
to be held up to keep from drowning.
The train crew and passengers worked
hard to try to save him, but could
not possibly get him fIom under the
engine. A wrecking car was tele'
graphed for, but had to be sent up
from Grafton, $50 miles away, and It
was seen that the poor fellow would
die before it could get there to save
him, and there was no other way TO
get the ponderous engine of him.
His legs were crushed and he was get
ting weaker and weaker and colder
and colder all the time and was bound
to freeze to death there, entirely un-
der the cold water of the river, except
his head. 1t was a frightful situation
and enough to appall the stoutest
heart, but Carrico never lost his nerve
and when it was found that there
was no other way to save him, they
got sharp knife and amputated hls
legs, one above and one below the
knee, and cut through the bone with
An ak, the only tool they could find
to do it with. 1t was a terrible ordeal
for the wounded and imprisoned man,
and hard to get at 1t any way under
water. His little son stood by his
father all the time and was carried
into the river to his father, before the
barbaroua surgery was begun, and the
parting between the father and son
was most pathetic indeed. The en-
gineer lived but a short time after be
was gotten out of the river. He told
the boy to always take good care of
his baby sister, the wife and mother
having died about two years ago.
He then called for drink Of water
and died Immediately after drinking
it. He was conscious to the lastS

The Jsps 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 Hostetters Stomach Bit
tiers during the past 80 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
copy OF our 1905 Illustrated Almanac
from your druggist. 1t is free and con-
tains much instructive reading matter.

1t is believed that the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad will not use Han
cock as the terminal for the cutoff to
Pittsburg. A survey is now being
made along the west side of Sideling
Hill. This is said to be the most
feasible route, and if used the cutoff
will touch the main line at Orleans
Roads, which is II miles west of Han
cock. The Baltimore aud Ohio made
two surveys through Hancock, both
in the east and west ends of the town,
and brought rights of way in both
sections. 1t has been found that the
route from Hancock cannot be con-
sidered because Of the heavy grades
and excessive tuDnsling. The pro-
posed route on the west side Of Side
ling Hill affords an easy grade and
the cost of construction would be
much less, while the same results, es-
pecially in shortening the distance be-
tween Pittsburg and the East, would
be attained.

JUST as we expected, the claims of
our esteemed contemporary, the
Charles Town AGUocatc, that its cir
culatlon in Jefferson county is larger
than that of any other paper in JEFF
ferson county, isn't based on fact. The
Advocate comes mighty near pleading
the statute Of limitations on us, but
finally says this:
The REGISTER makes loud claims
about its circulation, yet We have failed
TO note that its editor has made atiida-
Wit TO single claim, although we have
consulted pretty much every newspaper
directory published in this country in
recent years. On the other hand, a
half dozen directories for 1903 contain
a sworn statement of the Advocate s cir
culatlon."
We are of course willing to take the
sworn statement OF the Advocate as
to its circulation This statement in
the last directory gives 1t a clrcula-
tion of 1924 just about 400 less than
the REGISTER has. At no time IN
the last year have We printed less
than 1000 papers, and the average
has been between 1925 and 1850.
II our friends in Charles Town won't
take our word for 1t we will make an
affidavit, too.

IN a recent interview Hon. Henry
G. Davis expressed some hopeful views
about the political situation-that is,
hopeful for the Democrats-and says
ne believes that the party will stand
a good chance next election. With
an efficient registration law and a
fair vote in West Virginia the Dem
ocrats, he thinks, can carry this State.
The Republican nominee for the
United States Senate from Missouri,
Thomas K Nledringhaus, has prac-
tically been convicted of bribery and
booding, but we suppose this will not
interfere with his election. He bought
and paid for the Legislature, and it
would be unkind to refuse delivery of
the goods. Besides, who of the Sen
ators shall cast the first stone?

and eruptions upon the skin. The acids
must be neutralized and the system cleans
