me Specfer Of Constant Jealousy.

When a man is afraid to remark at
the breakfast table, even mildly and
casually, that, from what he has heard
Cleopatra was beautiful woman, it is
fair to assume that the specter OF con-
slant jealousy dwells in that household.
When a wife fears to look at the moon
because she may be accused OF admir-
ing the man in it, the husband needs to
be geatly reminded that he is taking
very rapid short cut to killing the love
he seems to hold SO sacred. Love is fed
by confidence, trust, faith and serene,
restful reliance, but morbid jealousy is
a poison of doubt, suspicion and inJus-
tice, dulling the love it does not deaden.
Jealousy must be killed in the thought.
In the mind the battle-ground of the
soul, must the fight of determination
be waged. In the thought must the
jealousy be neutralized by faith, con-
quered by justice, and transformed by
trustful love into restful, abiding con-
fidence that only absolute proof and GER
tainty Of just use for jealousy can
ever reawaken. William George Jordan
in the February Delineator.
Thos l. Williams, former treas
urer of this county, died rather sudden
ly at his farm home near Barneveld
village on the 7th inst. Mr.. Williams
was taken sick with kidney trouble less
than week before his death, but the
serious nature of his case was not sus-
pected. Deceased was genial and hon
orable citizen and had many warm
friends throughout the county. Being a
Mason he was buried with the honors
of that fraternity, Rev. J. T. Pryor of
Dodgeville, grand chaplain of the order,
officiating.
Evening Wisconsin: The committee
of the cheesemakers' convention which
will appeal for the privilege Of using
boracic acid intends to show the author
tiles at Washington that only an infin-
itesimal quantity is required. If the
government could secure guarantees
from manufacturers that only small
quantities would be used, the matter of
authorizing the use Of preservatives
could easily be adjusted. The troubles
incident to the use of preservatives are
due to carelessness as to quantity by
employees who are ignorant of the eff.
fects of the anti-ferments upon the hui
man system.
Vernon County Censor, edited by Col
Munson, private secretary to Gov
Davidson: The public welfare, the wei
fare Of all the people, should be the
aim of all law, and when the law-mak,
ers keep this thought steadily in view
the results will not fall far short Of
actual accomplishments. The only OBJ
stacle in the way is the cupidity of de
signing men, working upon selishnes!
and ambition of those who are charged
with the duty of making the laws. Lee
us hope that in Wisconsin the legisla
ture of 1907 is one upon which the in
fluences of corruption will have no eff
fect-and there is every reason tina
the hope is sure of absolute fruition.

The Pavement Question.

1t is a mark Of the progressive spirit
OF our citizens TO see how'well the order
for laying sidewalks is being obeyed.
Interested parties are cheerfuIly going
ahead with the work, and the whole
town is catching the fever Of progress
and improvement. Let the good work
continue Berkeley Springs Post.
Out of the n notices sent out to the
citizens of Boonsboro TO repair their
pavements, 20 have complied.-BO0HS-
60ro Times.
These two items, which We clip from
exchanges, show that other places be-
side Sbepherdstown are taking up the
matter of improved psvements, and
they also indicate that the people are
evincing the right spirit. We hope
that our property owners will all take
the same view that our neighbors in
other towns take, and go right on
with the improvements. Most Of those
who have been ordered by council to
make new sidewalks here are gettin g
ready to do SO, few having already
finished. Let everybody go ahead
with the work, for resistance will only
add to the cost. Our council has
made a good start, but there is still
much that it can do. Another tour
Of the town will show that still more
payements are needed.

Serious Accident to Mr.. Conley.

A serious and painful accident be-
fell Geo. M. D. Conley, we'll known
resident of the Bardane neighborhood,
in this county, on Monday night. Mr..
Conley, who makes his home with his
sister, Mrs. Trussell, had been in
Shepherdstown for week or more.
Monday night he attended show in
the town hall, and when it was over,
instead of going out to the pavement
he turned and walked across the yard
in front of the old college building.
At the corner of Main and King
streets he stepped off the wall and
got a frightful fall upon the pavement
four or FIVE feet below. Several per-
sons who heard him fall went to his
assistance and carried him to 6remen s
hall, and DR.. John L. Meyers was
summoned. DIR. Meyers found that
Mr.. Oonley's hip was both dislocated
and fractured, making painful com.
plication. The doctor succeeded in
reducing the dislocation and made
the unfortunate man as comfortable
as possible until morning, when he
was placed in a wagon and hauled to
his home. He will probably be a
cripple as long as he lives.

ficers: President, Victor Cushwa, OF
Williamsport; vice-president, Decatur
Hedges, of Berkeley county secretary

1900 shares at $40 each. The prin-
cipsl Office will be located in Williams

OF prominent residents of both Berke.
ley and Washington counties have
agreed to take stock in the company.

Gent size to accommodate wagons, foot
passengers and trolley track. 1t is
hoped that the Hagerstown Railway

Confederate Memorial DAY Exercises.

A. rain that prevailed from early
morning until late at night last Satur-
day put real dsmper on Confederate
decoration day in Shepherdstown. A
steady, dismal downpour driven by
an east wind caused an abandonment
of all outdoor exercises, and il was
determined to hold a service in the
town hall. This was done, and a
gaod-sized audience was present.
John b Schoppert, president of the
memorial association, was in charge OF
the exercises, which were opened with
prayer by Rev. DR.. Charles Ghiselin.
The speaker of the day. Rev. D. Il.
Kern, of Winchester, was introduced
by Rev. 81. I. Stephens. Mr.. Kern's
address was a splendid one, appro.
Pirate to the occasion and thoroughly
enjoyed by all who heard it. he
spoke OF the Southern soldiers chiefly,
both as. officers and privates, and
brought downthe house when be refer
red to the Army Of Northern Virginia
as an army oflions led by lion. Ris
address was earnest, eloquent, inter-
estiDg and inspiring-indeed, many
persons say that no better speech has
ever been delivered here on a memo
rial occasion. Miss Lena Frazier re-
cited poem and Hon. A. s. Dam
bridge read the roll of honor. A
quartette choir. composed of Mrs. NJ.
E. Spohn, Miss Mary Hartzsll, NJ.
E. Spohn and 81. l. Snyder, with Miss
Amanda Titus as aecompanist, rem
dered several patriotic songs. The
service closed with benediction by
Rev. G. E. A. Marshall. Although
thsre was disappointment because of
the uufavorable weather, those who
braved the elements and attended the
service in the hall were amply repaid,
as the programme was carried out in
an impressive manner.
