Tells How to Mix II.


A well-known authority on Rheu-
matism gives the readers of large
New York daily paper the following
valuable, yet simple and harmless pre-
scription, which any one can easily
prepare at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-halt
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking well in bottle,
and take a teaspoonful after each
meal and at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can
be obtained from any good prescription
pharmacy at small cost, and, being of
vegetable extraction, are harmless to
take.
This pleasant mixture, if taken reg
ularly for few days, is said to over
come almost any ease of Rheumatism.
The pain and swelling, il any, dimin-
ishes with each dose, until permanent
results are obtained, and without in
Turing the stomach. While there are
many so-called Rheumatism remedies,
patent remedies, etc., some Of which
do give relief, few really give perms-
nent results, and the above will, no
doubt, be greatly appreciated by ma
ny sufferers here at this time.
Inquiry at the drug stores of this
neighborhood elicits the information
that these drugs are harmless and can
be bought separately, or the druggists
here will mix the prescription for our
readers if asked to.

Council Meeting.

OyhuSA sAS~o'
The regular monthly meeting Of the
town council was held Monday even
ing, all the members being present.
Treasurer Remnant reported that
$62O.04 had bsen paid to him since
last meeting, and that there was now
on hand balance of $562.51. The
FIRE company reported that a quantity
of old hose. unfit for use, was on hand,
and asked that council make some
disposal of it. The matter was re
ferred to the fire, committee, with su,
thority 10 act. A communication Was
received from the Norfolk & Western
Railway, enclosing check for a hun
dred dollars to pay certain expenses
incurred in the granting Of its new
franchise, including publication of the
ordinance. The letter did not state
explicitly whether the company ac-
cepted the ordinance or not, but it is
presumed tina. it means to do go.
Councilman Reinhart asked what
had been done by the committee sp-
pointed to confer with the Odd Eel.
lows in regard to the building in King
street occupied by that order and the
fremen, and this brought on discus
sion Of this matter. The sentiment Of
the council seemed to be in favor of
at once aband oning the old building,
so far as the corporation authorities
are concerned, and a committee was
appointed to look after suitable quar-.
tiers for the fire apparatus and the
council. 1t was declared that the old
building is in a dangerous condition
and unsafe, besides being nuisance
as it stands, and it was intimAted that
steps would be taken to have it re-
moved by legal action if no amicable
arrangement could be arrived at.
Chairman Welshans reported that
the committee wished instructions as
to its course in regard to the action of
the bridge company in closing Prin.
cess street by building fence across
it. The council ordered that the COM
mittee should seek to have dissolved
the temporary injunction obtained by
the bridge company. and was author
lied to employ additional counsel.
The matter comes up at the February
term of the circuit court.
County Assessor E. W. Athsy was
elected corporation assessor for 1908,
his salary being fixed at $25. After
passing a number of bills, council ad-
journed.

Contest Over a VIII.

Contest Over VIII.
A case of considerable interest will
come up in the Circuit Court for JEFF.
ferson county at the February term.
1t involves the validity Of the will Of
Susan Louise johnson, former resi-
dent of "Terrapin Neck" north of
Shepherdstown. The style ofthe suit
is Mary Jane Bellville and others VS..
]. W. Gardner, sheriff committee ad-
mini.trator Of Susan Louise johnson.
By an alleged will executed in 1901,
Susan Louise Johnson undertook to
devise all her property, including
more than 4 half interest in two tracts
of land containing in the aggregate SO
acres in "Terrapin Neck" to William
Hanson johnson. The contention Of
the plaintiffs is that the will is invalid
by reason of the mental incapacity of
the testatrix, and the undue influence
of William Hanson johnson, the ben
s6cisry of the alleged Will. They
pray that the will be set aside and
the real es!ste be either divided among
them or sold and the proceeds of the
] sale so divided.

DR.. Lee viii Make Good.


DR.. Guy Carleton Lee is scholar
and gentleman. 1t will be recalled
that few weeks ago he delivered a
lecture in the Shepherd College audi
forum, and that being pressed for
time-he wanted to take train for
New York-his address was not de-
hvered in a manner either to reflect
credit upon himself or to satisfy his
audience. The REGISTER felt bound
to criticise it, and this coming to the
notice of DR.. Lee, and learning Of the
sentiment in the community, he very
manfully determines to make good.
In q letter to Prof. Knutti, principal
of Shepherd College aud manager of
the lecture course, he generously of
fers to return to Shepherdstown at a
date to be agreed upon and deliver
another lecture without compensation.
This offer will be accepted and the
time announced later. DR.. Lees
manliness in this matter cannot but
raise him in the estimation Of our pso-
pie, and we assure him that his cour-
tesy is fully appreciated. We not
only look for love feast, but We pre-
dict lecture that will become \ elias.

May Combine
Small Freight Shipments

WASHINGTON, July 2S.-The In
ter-state Commerce Commission de-
cided yesterday, that shippers might
combine small quantities of freight
of various ownership, either by ar
rangement among themselves or
through the medium of the forward
ing agency, and ship the combined
lot at the relatively lower rates ap-
plicable on large shipments.
The Commission also today issued
a statement to the effect that with
out waiting for filing of complaints
it will institute an investigation on
its own motion for the purpose of de-
termining whether advances of freight
rates are justified.
The Commission" the statement
says, has no authority to suspend a
proposed advance in rates and can

Being Made

There have already been forty ap-
plicationS made for the position of
clerk at the mint in this city and
it is understood that still more will
come in before the time expires for
the filing of the applications. At
the last examination five applications
were flied but none of the applicants
were able to pass the examination.
Only two applications for mail car
rier in this city have Teen filed todate
but more will probably come in later.
This position is one that should be
filled by local young men and as the
examination is not difficult one there
is no reason why a number of ap-
plicatiOns have not already been plac-
ed on file.

Member State Police Re-
turned to RaWhidc
for Hearing

RENO, July ZS.-After a hearing
occupying portion of the morning and
afternoon session of the District
Court yesterday, Judge Pike yester-
day dismissed the writ in the habeas
corpus. proceedings resorted to by w.
l.. Claiborne who was arrested by
Sheriff Ferrel last week on a charge
of grand larceny. Claiborne was re-
manded to the custody of the Sheriff
without bonds and was taken back
to the County Jail.
The prisoner, who is a member of
the State Police, was captured at the
Sparks ranch after he had come to
Reno in an automobile which was neld
in Rawhide under a writ of attach
ment on account of debt of 1921.
In some way the automobile was TAX
en- away and charge of grand larceny
for the alleged theft was lodged in
Rawhide and the warrent placed in
the hands of Deputy Sheriff Cullom.
The deputy was about to take Clai
borne a petition for habeas corpus
and was released on $1,000 bail pend
ing the hearing.
Judge Pike, in deciding the ques-
tion raised by the habeas corpus pro-
ceedings stated that it might be pos
sible for a new writ to be sued out in
any other county, but that the case
could not be appealed from in this
court. 1t is likely that other pre-
ceedings may be resorted to before
Claibarne reaches Rawhide to answer
the charge placed against him.
Deputy Cullom took his prisoner to
Rawhide with him last night on the
Tonopah train.
