Church Dedication.

The beautiful new Lutheran church
IN Shepherdstown was dedicated on
last Sunday with appropriate cere-
monies. This is looked upon by coed
judges rs one of the most beautiful
churches in the valley and the peo-
pie OF that excellent co greqation. and
OF the town in general, deserve con-
CALCULATIONS over having SO handsome
church and especially over the mag
nifcent manner in which the finan-
cial end of the enterprise was man
aged and remarkably liberal manner
In which the people contributed. On
Sunday Rev. Mr.. Hockey, of Waynes.
boro, Pa, a former pastor Of the church
preached and the final call was made
for funds to pay the balance still due
amounting about 81, 800 and whea the
contributions were summed up it was
found that $4,000 was in hand thus
giving them their church clear OF dept
and handsome balance in bank.

Announcement is given that there
Will be great union meeting at Pres
byterian church in this city ON next
sunday night nj o'clock. The meet
ing will be addressed by Rev. J. p.
Judd assistant superintendent of the
reform bureau. His theme will be s.The
Private citizen. What he can do
The speaker comes highly recon-
inended and every citizen interested
IN clean city and better nation is
invited to come.
The Cumberland News speaking OF
the Rev. Mr.. Judd says:
"Ihe citizen az reformer,n was the
theme OF a very able and Interesting
address delivered yesterday afternoon
by Rev.J z. Judd, Of the Reform Blu
rean, OF Washington d. G. lat the open
air meeting in Smiths Park, under
the auspices of the b. Il o. Y. NJ. C.
A. Rev. Judd spoke for more than a
calf hour and by his forcefui manner
OF speech held the undivided attention
OF several bundled listeners through
out his address. His reasoning and
impressive appeal was for cleaner,
better community. For cleanliness not
only in a strict observance OF the pub
lie health laws but in an abandonment
and discarding Of things that provoke
msral uncleanliness. In convincing
manner Rev. Judd attacked the prac-
lice OF displaying tho kinds of suggest
i've pictures that so frequently cover
bill boards throughout the county. He
condemned the comparatively new
|evii OF circulating indecent postal
cards, many of which, too horrid to
|go through the United States mails
are being circulated privately. Immor-
allliterature alss came in for a severe
rapping from the minister as one Of
the suggestions for reform ia which
nearly every man could assist. All of
these things Rev. Judd pointed out
were particularly harmful to young
men and young women and boys and
girls Of school going age. The immoral
literature and the unsiean pictures not
only did their own work of mischief
but they destroyed opportunity by
causing good reading and decent pie
tuers to be neglected There were up.
wards Of four hundred people at the
meeting The speaker was introduced
by Secretary MontisnanI. Prof. Mann
presided at the organ and Mr.. George
McCracken assisted cIeverly with his
coronet.

West Wing mia people who are
familiar with the Virginia debt ques-
ten are not well pleased with the sit
uation, said Martin j. Morse, OF Char
lestown, w Va, at the Raleigh. This
is one Of the most important political
issues In the State elections, but 1t
should be removed from politics and
be managed by aonpartisan and
noppolitical commission Of highmind-
ed, honorable, and courageous men.
IL should be a body independent of
State officials, withou; motive except
the States interest, aud the public
should be given all information
promptly ann without regard to- poll
tics. This body should have the power
to perform any act TO protect the State
without committing 1t, until the leg.
islature has acted after all the facts
have been published.
Although suit was brought 80
msnths ago and State officials have
had clerks tn Richmond since early in
March collecting data, aud although,
these figures will not be furnished to
the master till one week after the cleo
lion, the certificates have been quoted
on Wall street at 90 per cent. The pub
lie however,is strangely ignorant OF
the real situation, and the idea has
been created that West Virginia is in
no danger. The very few facts that
! have come to light are conclusive that
the situation is alarming, and that
unless something Is done shortly, the
court will bring the State into debt
for many millions more than the
amount Virginia spent for roads sc.
within her limits, and many millions
more than the convention which sepa-
rated West Virginia intended her to
/ assume.
The secret jsint session u the two
houses, called by the governor Febru-
airy 10 Of this year, to cossider the debt,
to my mind was gross violation OF
OF the principles on which our peliti.
cal system depends. Our republican
government viii NOT last II such pro-
position is long tolerated that lcgisla-
tors may conceal from constituents IN

 During the past twenty-two days MT. Cooper has been in Minneapolis. the sale of his preparation has aver aged about two thousand bottles a day. When the amount of medicine disposed of throughout the state is ad- ded to this the amount will be doub- led.

Macdon- aid of Mesa City. a young man who has just entered the field of practical art work, after a course of study but to whom the chalk plate process was yet a new and unfamiliar one.
 Of the Home Journal Pattern it may be said it is a comparatively new pro- duct, butt has rapidly sprung into pop ular favor. MT. Myers says that as the result of his advertising the New York store in four or five days disposed of between 400 and 500 copies of the spring quarterly style book and there is a good constant demand for it. He feels that his efforts in original adver- Using are not unfruitful, when he is brought into competition with the ad vertising men for such firms as Wan amaker and Marshall Field, and other of the large department stores of the country.

The remarkable success that has at tended L. T. Cooper during the past year has not been confined to any one locality. but is so widespread that the young man is now a well-known figure in most of the leading cities of the country.
 Mr Cooper believes that the stom- ach is the foundation for most ili health. and claim that his prepara tion. by regulating the stomach is true specific for most disaese. The following extract from the Tribune of Minneapolis gives an idea of the sur prisinS number of people who are ac- cepting COoper's theory.

COUNTY COMMITTEE
 ADDRESSES MR. ADAMS
It Contains a Suggestion for the Set tlement of the First Ward Dispute.

The following communication ad- dressed to J. c. Adams and others, having for it's apparent object a set clement of the first ward republican dispute has been received at this office from the chairman and secretary of the republican county committee:
 Phoenix, Ariz., April Sth, 1908 To J. C. Adams and Others Who May
 Feel Interested:
 There have been filed with the un- dersigned chairman and secretary of the Maricopa County Republican Cen tral Committee. certificates by the members of the regularly constituted board of a primary election held in pursuance of a call of this committee in Phoenix Precinct No. on the fourth of April. 1908. that the following named persons were at that primary election named as delegates to the county con- vention called to meet at Phoenix on Saturday the eleventh day Of April 1908. that is to say: L. J. Rice. J. H. Kinney, James P. Rhodes, George Kirkland, John M. Mccoy, Robert Wiley, B. A. Fowler C. w Barnett, Harvey D. Patton, and john Baggiore.
 In pursuance of the practice in like cases it is the duty of the undersigned 10 prepare a list of delegates entitled to be in that convention Tor the pur- poses of preliminary organization. To enable them to do so, resort must be had in the first instance to the certif- icates of the regularly constituted cleo ton boards. For some days there have been persistent rumors. and state ments published in local newspapers with apparent authenticity, that you intend to contest the right of the above named persons to be delegates to the said county convention and to claim the right of certain other persons to be therein seated.
 You will readily appreciate the diff ficulty Of having a calm and consider ate investigation of such matters at a political convention, as the time is too short and other Imatters deemed too urgent to admit of that careful COnsid- eration of such matters that they de- serve.
 The committee is intent upon fair play; public opinion should be based upon knowledge of the facts and not merely upon irresponsible rumor or what might be charged to be hasty and therefore likely not to be deliberate action of a partisan convention.
 With these things in view. and with

BIDDING FOR FAME
 AMONG ADVERTISERS
A Strong Hope Cherished by Henry Myers That the Ad in The Republi- can Will be a Winner.

Readers of The Republican have noted that in the recent advertising of the New York Store. special attention has been given the Ladies Home Jour nal patterns and quarterly Style book. A couple of weeks ago, three success sive advertisements were run in which these things were especially featured. This was in pursuance of an advertis- ing contest arranged by the Ladies Home Journal Pattern Co.. to be par ticipated in by the advertising men of all the stores selling their Style books and patterns. As the result of it the three advertisements decided by the Ladies Home Journal Pattern Co. as being the most effective of results. the committees where they appeared be- ing taken into consideration. were to secure for their authors, worthy and valuable prizes. Moreover. the adver- tisements. or any striking feature of them. may be used by the pattern makers in their general advertising. later.
 Henry Myers. the New York Stores advertising man, was therefore a con testant, and he was especially hopeful of securing attention for the ad which applied the idea used in advertising well known talking machine. develop ed to suit his purpose. IL will be re- called that there was Home Journal Pattern talking machine shown in the ad, and in front of it stood car toon of the Pattern Trust" listening to his masters voice" How well Mir. Myers succeeded in attracting the at tention of the Home Journal Pattern management is shown by the follow ing letter, though no announcement has yet been made of the names of the prize winners. MT. Myers is pleased with the letter even if he does not get financial reward.
