New Star in Old Glory.

The admission of Oklahoma to the
Urion as a State has raised dispute as
to how the additional star should be
placed in the flag without disarrauging
the present pattern. There is no dis
pute, however, in regard to the intrin-
sic value Of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
in case of stomach, liver, kidney or
bowel disorders. In fact, it is univer-
sally acknowledged to be the best med
icine ever compounded for such disor-
ders and for proof it is only necessary
to point to the thousands of cures 1t has
made during the past SO years. We be-
lieve 1t is the medicine you need to

Decoration Day at Antietam.

The annual memorial day exercise,
at Antietam National Cemetery,
Sharpsburg, last Thursday, were at
tended by the usual large crowd, a
considerable proportion of which was
from Jefferson and Berkeley counties.
The parade was creditable one, be-
ing composed of the Shepherd College
Cadet Corps, Captain Tanner Link
commanding, a number Of orders, G.
A. R posts, bands of music and school
children. Capt. ]. W. Rohrer was
chief marshal. The cadets fred three
rounds over the graves of the soldiers.
The exercises at the rostrum in the
beautiful cemetery were very inter
esting. Captain j. V. Davis, super
intendent Of the cemetery, was in
charge, and read impressively President
Lincolns historic Gettysburg speech.
The principal address of the day was
delivered by Hon. j. D. Hicks, a
former Member of Congress- from Al.
toona, Pa. 1t was an eloquent and
instructive address, the speaker Civ.
ing many historical facts Of impor,
lance. he described the great battle
that had been fought on the field on
which he stood and in which he had
part, naming it as the battle IN
which more men were killed and
wounded in one day than in any othe,
conflict during the war. The total o.
killed, wounded and missing was over
1000, on the two sides. Mr.. Hicks
also related some interesting personal
experiences of the fight there. Hi
address was much enjoyed. A pleasant
feature of the programme was the par
taken by about forty boys and girl
who had been drilled by Prot. Johr
P. Smith. Mr.. Smith also read ar
original poem of much merit. The
day was an ideal one as to weather
and was pleasant and enjoyable IL
every respect.

Many people in Shepherdstown are
slowly poisoning themselves by chronic
indigestion. Their neglect to cure
sluggisbness of the important organs
Of digestion fills the system with fer

suits in sick headache, heartburn, bad

quickly cure the worst cases of indi-
gestion and when used few days the
pain and distress often felt after meals
will disappear.
Mi.o.na stomach tablets cost but
so cents a box and do more good than
a dozen boxes OF the ordinary digest
i've tablets. They give an. absolute,
unqualified guarantee to refund the
money if -Mi.o-na fails to cure.

George P. Decker In Serious Trouble.

The committing of one serious crime
in the hope of concealing another has
gotten George P. Decker, formerly Of
Harper's Ferry, into very bad pre-
dicament. Decker, who is about 81
years of age, has been agent for the
United States Express Company at
Old Point Comfort, Va, the Office of
which was located on Federal Pier,
near the Chamberlain Hotel, together
with the Offices of a number of steam
ship lines. Early last Monday morn
ing the pier.house was discovered to
be on fire, and though soldiers from
Fortress Monroe were called out and
strenuous efforts were made to save
the building, it was totally destroyed,
together with a large quantity Of
freight and express matter and all the
books and papers. Decker was sus-
pected, and a few hours later was ar.
rested, Soon after he was taken in.
to custody he broke down and made
a complete confession. He said that
after a friend left his Office about
midnight Sunday night he filed
large box with excelsior, piled other
boxes on top Of it'in the middle Of
his Office floor and set fire to the heap
Then he fed and hid himself to await
developments. He admitted that he
was short in his accounts and that he
learned Saturday that an auditor
was coming to examine his books,
He took $50 in cash from the safe
and, it is understood, placed the
books where they would be sure t.
burn.

as we'll as the Sabbath, and will not in

AS was foresha1owed in the REC.
IsTER last week. it now seems quite
certain that the Board Of Regents Of
the Normal Schools will rescind the
resolution by which it was proposed
to cut off the senior years course
from each Of these institutions save
Marshall College aud Fairmont Nor.
NAL. At the commencement exercis.
es at West Liberty Normal School on
Monday there was great gathering
of the friends of the institution, and
they voiced united and powerful pro-
test against the enforcement OF the
order. Two members of the Board Of
Regents we're present, Secretary M.
C. Tough and Hon. R. S. Carr.
The Wheeling Intelligencer quotes
Mr.. Carr as saying in speech from
the platform that ever since the meet
ing in which the order was passed he
had regretted the act, and that ii
necessary he would himself Introduce
resolution for a continuance Of the
work of the normal schools as in the
past. The reduction of the four
schools was not necessary, he said. as
the board had sufficient funds to car
ry on the wq next year. Secretary
Lough referred to the opposition that
had been aroused by the order, and
stated that he would use his influence
to retain the schools upon the old
status. These announcements were
greeted by cheers from the audience.
We are glad to note these express,
ions from the members of the board
and to have the assurance that our
school is not to have it's usefulness
destroyed. We agree with the Intel
ligencer that it would be much better
to build all Of them up to the high
standard proposed for the two favored
ones, rather than impair the work
of any of them!

n is announced from Washington

u is announced from Washington
that prosecution against number Of
railroads is to be commenced at once
by the government. the charge against
them being violation Of the Sherman
antitrust law by entering into con-
spiracy in restraint Of trade by no.
nopolizing the bituminous coal supply.
Among the railroads to be proceeded
against are the four big roads operat.
ing in West Virginia-the Baltimore
& Ohio, the Norfolk & Western, the
Chesapeake & Ohio and the Pennsyl.
vania. This prosecution follows the
investigation made blythe Interstate
Commerce Commission, which found
that the roads had entered into an
agreement to divide proportlonately
the shipment of coal over their lines
that the roads owned coal mines; that
they Disseminated against independ-
emit operators; and that they main.
tanned such rates as to largely increase
the cost Of coal to the consumer.
Of course, no sensible person can
successfully dispute the truth OF all OF
these allegations. In plain words, the
railroads have robbed the people by
abolishing all competition and charg'
ing excessive rates. This is against the
law and should therefore be stopped
and relief given the people. 1t is not
easy to accomplish such an end, how.
ever. The railroads have advocates
and attorneys even better than those
Of the government. Many of the
courts where absolutej justice should be
found lean heavily to the corporations
side, and the way of reform is bese'
by many distractions.
Nevertheless. the people are being
aroused by the exposures of railroad
robbery and these attempts to curb
corporate power. and a good purpose
is being subserved. Seed is being
sowed that will eventually bear fruit
perhaps even to Mr.. Bryan's very
proper end Of government ownership.
