A Strangers Terrible Fate.

An unknown man supposed to be
an Italian, was found dead along the
Norfolk g. Western Railroad tracks a
short distance south of the station at
Charles Town yesterday evening about
7 o'clock. His head was frightfully
crushed and other injuries indicated
that he had been struck by a train.
He had been seen to get off a passen-
ger train the previous night, and it is
thought he made mistake, as he
had ticket to Hagerstown and thence
to point in New Jersey. He may
have been killed while trying tojump
freight train to 90 on to Hagers-
town. There was no way to establish
his identity, and he was buried at
Charles Town. He had on his person
$67 in money aud several letters from
Jerusalem.

A clever game is being worked in
neighboring counties and the opera
tors have found not few victims. A
well.dressed man stops at farmhouse
and declares that he has lost valu-
able diamond pin in the roadway, and
all make search. Nothing is found,
but before leaving the stranger says
he will return, and if the pin is found
will give reward OF $3.50 for its re.
turn. A fews days later a tramp
turns up with a pin, presumably a
diamond, which he says he found.
The farmer usually takes the bait, and
gets the pin for $40 or $25, expecting
to get $3.50 as his reward. After
vainly waiting for the loser he learns
from some jeweler that the pin is
worthless.

Commissions of the Sheriff.

The boards of education of the coun-
ty held meeting on Tuesday to con-
slider the subject of following the sheriff
full commission on taxes collected for
school purposes. In the new tax laws
there is no express provision by which
the tax collector is to be compensated
for the loss Of interest on tax bills.
The former law on the subject allowed
the sheriff a commission OF two and a
half per cent on all taxes collected in
the month of October, the taxpayer
reaping the advantage Of discount
at that rate on tax bill paid during
that month. In the absence of any
provision concerning the sheriff's COM
missions on taxes collected during the
discount period which is now two
months instead of one as formerly, At.
torney. General May ruled that the
collector is entitled to his full commits.
sion, and the boards Of education de-
cided to act accordingly. So that the
sheriff will have a commission of five
per cent on all school taxes collected.

Harvest Week.

The farmers of this section have
been busy this week harvesting their
wheat, and the binders have been
running from early morning until late
in the evening. The weather has
been fine for the work, and has not
been as warm as usual at this season.
The general opinion is that there will
be fair average crop in this county,
while the quality promises to be good.
The wheat stands nicely and is easy
to cut.
What difference between harvest
now and thirty years ago Instead
of the swinging cradles and their busy
followers, the self. binder now unerr-
ingly cuts off the golden grain, binds
it IN regular sheaves aud deposits it
where desired. One or two extra
hands are all that is needed nowadays,
and the hustle and toll and need of
great preparation are thing Of the
past. The hard work of harvest week
is practically over-except for the
horses.

Fatal Wreck on the Railroad.

Engineer David B. Menefee and
Fireman E. W. Milton, both of Sh9n-

into eternity Monday evening. They
were in their engine, which was draw

the ponderous machine jumped the
track near Limeton and tOppled over

Ordering Drugs
BY
Tail or Telephone

We have quite a number of out
of-town patrons who come to
town once in a while, but who
prefer our prescription work and
general goods so much that they
are frequently ordering by mail.
Then we have quite a few town
customers who, when away for
any length of time, order by mail
of us, in preference to having
prescriptions put up in unknown
stores.
We invite more trade of this
character. We have a special
care in packing for economical
and safe shipping. We make
change by mail just as in the
store. If you send too much
money we return the excess.
This mail order and phone ser
vice is proving satisfactory and
great convenience to those at
distance. Try it and see how
nicely it works.

Good paint used when needed is

No argument needed on these

THE ACCIDENT ON THE KEABsARcE

THE ACCIDENT on THE KEARSARGE.
The American people cherish such affection
ate pride in the officers and men of their navy
that a tragedy like that enacted in the Garth.
bean Sea last Friday makes powerful appeal
TO their sympathy. With the other vessels of
the Atlantic feet, the Kearsarge had been en-
gagged in gun practice. Just at the close of the
days work an explosion occurred which result
ed in the death of seven persons and serious
injuries on several others By n strange coin
cidence the accident was prece led exactly two
years ago by one of which this is a painful re-
minder. but which was attended by more lam
entable consequences.
Between the explosions the Missouri and
the Kearsarge there are several other points
of difference. The earlier one began with the
ignition Of charge in the open breech of
gun while il being rammed home. The
flash which resulted spread to the ammunition
hoist and then to the handling room, which
was intermediate between the turret and maya
zine. In the later instance fire gained access
only to the three sections constituting a single
charge, which was in the ammunition hoist
but was about 10 be sent below. How it was
1gnited is still a mystery but it is certain
that il was not due 10 a bareback" from the
gun itself. Mechanism which will prevent a
repetition of that phenomenon has been in use
since 1904. Besides, though it is suspected
that bit of unconsumed canvas from the
open breeeh may have carried a spark to the
powder. the first effect was observed outside
not inside the gun: for target practice had
just been discontinued whereas it was in prog
ress at the time of the explosion on the Mis-
souri,
The cause of the accident is still undeter-
mined, and probably will remain unknown un-
I'll court of inquiry has had chance to in
vestigate the affair 1t Is to be hoped that in
formation will be ELECTED which will minimize
the danger of future mischief of the same sort
Indirectly, if not directly, The spirit Of rivalry
between the gunners of different vessels in
Admiral Evans's command may have led to the
unhappy result reported 10 the Navy Depart
ment on Saturday. Yet that is a thing to be
encouraged, not discouraged The service un-
questionably derives profit from such emula-
ton, and hence If new safeguards are really
required the search for them cannot he prose
cuted too earnestly.

the point whether DIR. Crapsey's declarations
are In harmony with the Creed within the limits
of Interpretation which a handful Of Western
New York clergymen, not necessarily scholars
or theologians, may think allowable. Much has
been said about flaws in the presentment and
mistakes of procedure and as DIR. Crapsey has
able counsel the trial may be delayed or pre-
vented on some technical ground But if 1t goes

the educated men of to-day TO be bound IN thelf

of the Greek philosophy which happened TO pre-
vail among the men who crystallized Christian
doctrine out of spiritual teaching clothed In
Oriental imagery?
Fortunately and unfortunately, not the
Church, but one small diocese, under the DOM
ination of an old fashioned theologian Is to de-
eide this question. Unfortunately because "a
man like DR. Crapsey may be unfrOcked by
judgment so narrowly based and the whole
Church may be thought to speak In the voice OF
a small part of II. Fortunately, because the
judgment does not commit the Church frrev-

TO carry with it the condemnation Of the whole

ability to invite the strongest and freest minds
to minister at its affairs, and it would certainly

spirit, TO feel that its vows were Incompatible

of its most devoted lovers has called it. IAN

ally interpret the virgin birth on the Creed's
dictum without inquring into its truth, why
must they not also literally interpret the resur-
rection Of the body? They feel that the trial
raises vital issue between the sway Of tradi-
ton and the sway of thought in the Church,
and from that point of view everybody who
cares for the progress of Christianity must be
interested in the outcome.
