Mr.. Rhinaman In a Tight Place.

It. w. Rhinaman, Of Martinsburg,
employed as a carpenter at the stone
quarries at Kearneysville, made
narrow escape from violent death
last Wednesday. Mr.. Rhinaman was
working on top of the bins Of finely
crushed stone when his attention was
called to the fact that the bin would
soon be emptied into the car beneath.
Replying that his work would be fin
ished in a few minutes, Mr.. Rhinaman
remained at the place, and was about
to step to a place of safety when the
suction of the crushed stone being
drawn into the car caught him. John
Myers, fellow workman, caught him
by the arm, but all efforts to hold
proved futile, and seeing that Myers
would also be drawn down through
the l6 feet of falling stone, Rhinaman
yelled to let go. The hole at the bot.
tom of the bin is II by "A inches and
across it is an iron bar over which Mr..
Rhinaman's arm caught while the
immense weight of the stone above
pushed him on down. BY almost a
miracle his arm became disengaged
and he was showed through the very
small place and the remainder OF the
contents of the bin poured over him
into the car below. His rescue was
Immediately effected but when brought
out of the crush his left arm was
found to be badly bruised, although
no bones were broken.

EDITOR REGIsTER-An anxious moth
err, whose son has been ct Shepherd
College the past year, Is wondering what
to do with him during the long vaca-
ton. She may well be anxious, for the
boy of seventeen, more or less, needs
employment. That an idle mind is the
devils workshop" is as true today as
ever.
MayI suggest to that mother. and
a hundred others with sons from IL to
% and no work for them during the
long summer vacation, whether they
are In college or in the high school, or a
school of lower grade, that they send
them out to help some Jefferson county
farmer. The farmers are in need OF
help. Let them learn to cultivate corn
and potatoes. Let them milk the COWS,
Look after the sheep, learn to trim fruit
trees, ride the mower and the horse
rake. Three months on farm under
the instruction of a sympathetic farm
er will be worth as much as term in
school. With all, he ought to earn
little money, gain coat OF tan, strength
en- his muscles, and improve both
health and manners by his new sur
roundings. There are lots of boys, big
and little, who ought to spend the sum-
mer on farm.
| have delightful memory OF my
last summer on Vermont farm-not
summer, but half month between
examination and commenc ment.
The maple sugar was delicious, the
farmers daughter real LADY, and a
Hoosier cousin, who was spending the
month with her, was charming. My
class class mate and l, both Dartmouth
seniors, were little sore IN the even
ing from swinging the scythe, but L
remember those evenings, all too short,
with real delight. That was long
time ago, but the odor of the new
mown hay is still fresh in memory-so
are the two charming girls, though l
have not heard from them for more
than two score years.

Motor Cars for Railroad Traffic.

A recent trial on one Of our largest
railroads demonstrated that a motor
car carrying fcrty-eight passengers can
be run 700 miles In twelve hours with
out stopping its engine and which is
better than any steam car record. IL Is
believed by many that the day for mo-
tor cars for local and suburban traffic
is now here. Do you know that there
is better record Of cures OF stomach,
liver and kidney ills back OF Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters than any other,
and fair trial will demonstrate beyond
all doubt that it always cures poor APP
petite, belch!ng, bloating, dyspepsia,
indigestion, costiveness, sour rlsings,
headache. cramps diarrhoea. female
ills or malaria. Start taking the Bitters
today and see how quickly your various
ailments will disappear. Your drug
gist will supply you with the genuine.

TIE list Of teachers of the several
normal schools of West Virginia. as
published by authority of the Board
of Regents, indicates that while the
Board has apparently yielded to the
public sentiment that demands that
all the schools shall be treated alike,
in reality the same spirit of favoritism
and discrimination that first raised
the disturbance still prevails. The
heads Of the Huntington and Far.
mont schools are now no longer called
principals, but are designated BY the
imposing title of president. Sprink-
led through the faculties of these
schools now are deans and heads OF
departments and professors galore
and while they are still the same old
teachers their titles have been swelled

versity. We understand, also, that
the salaries at these favored schools
have likewise been elevated to cor.
responding degree, while the Jour
poor lone orphans of Shepherdstown,
West Liberty, Athens and Chenille
are plodding along at the old rate
without even the consolation OF a
title.
We suppose it is useless to expect
a different result from the Board oil
Regents unless Governor Dawson
should take it into his head to appoint
it's new members from some other To-
cality than Huntington or Falrmont,
but we anticipate that at the next
session of the Legislature the real
friends of the normal schools will be
heard from.

A Protest.

EDITOR REGIsTER-A man accosted
me recently and said he had authority
to tell me and others to keep our cows
off the public road. told him | had
some which pastured on an unenclosed
tract of about twenty acres adjacent 10
the public road, and asked what the
fine would be if an officer took stock of
the road. He said he did not know.
These COWS have troubled nobody this
year, but, for my part, could with
some inconvenience keep mine off this
pasture.
A neighbor, however, has a cow, and
says he cannot hire any pasture for his
COW for Ilove or money, and this COW
helps to support widowed daughter
with six little children. AS we live in
an isolated part of the county, and the
COWS are doing nobody any harm,
wish to here enter my emphatic protest
against the enforcement OF law which
would compel INDECENT people to keep
their cattle off the road simply because
the law said so. Other laws-the COM
pulsory school law, for example-are
not enforced Why not enforce this
law only where other people are affect
ed by it
This law, il enforced, is certainly op-
posite to the teachings of the good book,
which says, Eye have the poor with
you always, and whatsoever ye will we
may do them good" This law must
say in substance, "Whensoever you
can, do them harm" II this law is en-
forced, and cattle which trouble no.
body, but on the contrary keep the
weeds down, are takeu up, would like
to see the ones affected by this unjust
law rise up in their righteous indigna'
ton and say by their votes when an op-
portunity presents itself, I'VE do not
want these men to rue aud reign over
u.s." For my sake, and others who are
interested, please publish in the REG
IsTER the law relating to stock on the
road.

There is more Catarrh in this section
OF the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be a constitution
al disease and therefore requires con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by f. J. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu
tional cure or :ne market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to
