L.ong-Lost Jewels Found.

In Martinsburg Monday morning Joe
Green, colored, employed in the livery
stable of Henry M. Heller, in Martins
burg, overturned a barrel of lime in shed
adjoining the stable, and in the lime he
found a lady's hand bag, which proved to
be that of Mrs. Bright, of Columbus, Ohio.
On the 18th OF last March Mrs. Bright,
who was visiting her daughter, Mrs. J.
M. Rothwell, in Martinsburg, lost the val
tables. She left her handbag, containing
seven valuable finger rings valued at ST.
$50 and purse with $25 or $50 in money
in cab while she and her daughter were
shopping and making some calls that al
ternoon. Shortly after they dismissed
the cab at the square Mrs. Bright diScov-
cred that she left her bag in the cab and
telephoned to Heller and Stewards livery
stable, making inquiry about it. The en-
ployees of the stables declared that they
knew nothing of the bag, and though a
strict investigation was made and several
persons were arrested on suspicion, no
information could be obtained concerning
the valuables. Monday when Green
overturned the barrel of lime the handbag
fell out. When Green opened it the con-
tents were found intact except the cash,
which had been taken from small purse
inside. The rings were ALL wrapped in
a handkerchief on the inside of small
channels jewel bag in which Mrs. Bright
had placed them. 1t is quite certain that
this bag had never been opened. The
fact that the money which, was in the bag
when it disappeared was missing, is proof
that the bag did not get into the barrel by
accident. II is supposed that the person
who got the money must have removed
it very hurriedly, and did not make fur
,ther examination of the contents. When
the robbery created such sensation the
thief probably was afraid to keep the
rings in his possession. The rings were
three amethsts, one opal, surrounded by
seven diamonds; two small diamond SOL
itaires, one ring with three diamonds,
one emerald and diamond and turquois.
Green got reward of $50 that had been
offered for the recovery OF the jewels.

Endurance Run Through This Town.

After much careful study and nearly
1000 miles OF experimental touring in
their scout cars, the route for the National
Highway between New York and Atlanta,
Ga, has been definitely selected by the
New York Herald and the Atlanta Jour-
nal.
The itinerary finally chosen for the en-
durance run, which is to take place next
autumn from the metropolis OF the North
to the Gate City of the South, and the
route which is to be thus dedicated as the
National Highway, connecting these two
great cities, is the one traverSed by the
Herald's White steamer scout car in its
first run to Atlanta
The chosen path, which is to link the
North and the South together with series
of fine touring roads and thus TO unite
more closely the interests OF the two sec
tons OF the country, passes through re-
gion rich in scenic beauty and in historic
memories. 1t traverseS many ofthe most
famous battlefields of the Civil War and
Includes the resting place OF many of the
wars most illuStrious heroes.
In the preliminary scouting expeditions
the pathfinders conscientiously covered
three separate routes, parts Of which were
travelled with no little difficulty and even
hardship. The first trip lay from New
York westward through New Jersey and
Pennsylvania to the historic town of Get
tysburg.
From Gettysburg, the route turned
southwark through HagerStown andacross
the field of Antietam, another OF the most
famous of modern battlefieldS, where Nc
Clellan met the first northern invasion OF
Lee. The scenes OF these two great
struggles lie only forty-five miles apart
and are within the compass OF an easy
mornings touring.
From Antietam the chosen route ex-
tends through Shepherdstown across the
Panhandle" OF West Virginia to Win
chester, Va.
Night stops will probably be made at
Gettysburg and Natural Bridge.

Letter From Washington.

Editor Register-On July I'D James NJ.
Engle, of Jefferson county, completed
twenty five years in the Treasury Depart
ment at Washington, and received the
congratulations of his fellow clerks, who
presented him with gold-headed cane in
token of their esteem. Mr.. Engle was
the first appointee under Civil Service
rules in his office, as Sixth Auditor Ella
said to him when he presented his COM
mission, "Sir, you are the first man TO re-
port" of the new lot of forty clerks just
provided by Congress. This office audits
all postoffice accounts for the Treasury
Department. 1t has 760 employees and
is the largest auditing office in the world.
Mr.. Engle has received an average OF
$500 day since appointed in this office.
OF the "a bureaux OF the Treasury De-
partment, the Auditor for the poStofflce is
the largest. II finds that fully two-thirds
of the sixty thousand postmaSters, reports
are incorrect and have to be corrected,
and an error circular, if only one penny,
must be sent. Every column must be
added either by machines or hand, and
every one of the Ct, 100000 money order
vouchers must be scanned and checked.
The total annual amount of money orders
issued is $3.50, 100000. This business way
of sending money by U. S. money orders
was established in 1864, and has grown
to gigantic proportions. About $50, OOO, 600
are sent to foreign countries by money
order, while we get back only $4,000, 600.
Money sent by this method battles the
mail robber and stage hold-up, as Uncle
Sam will issue duplicate, if lost.
The total receipts OF the PoStoffice De-
partment are $l9l 600, 900, while the ex-
penditures are $2OS,OOO,OO0. There has
been an average deficit annually OF $lO,-
100000 for the pasttwenty years.
Prof. Orville Wright is still trying his
flying machine almost every evening at
Fort Myer, opposite Washington, pre-
pairing for his test for the U. S. prize OF
$4,000 for a flying machine that will
make 40 miles an hour and carry two
men.
A visitor there says that the machine
looks like plane set on two sleigh run
ners, with two large propellerS in the rear
run by gasoline engine, and makes a
noise like an old wheat cleaning fan.
Three to five thousand people go over
every evening to witness the flights and
the street-car roads are reaping aharveSt.
This visitor thinks it only atoy, not likely
ever to amount to much as useful ma
chine. 1t is started off by l,6OO-pound
weight which drops from tower, giving
it start on mono-rail 100 yards long
down an incline, the machinery being set
in motion as the heavy weight drops
from the tower.
The officers of the Morgan's Grove fair
can probably get the Assistant Secretary
of Agriculture, or one OF his SubordinateS,
who are great experts in wheat growing,
to talk on soils and wheat growing at the
fair if they will write Assistant Secretary
Hayes. See his picture and account OF
his wheat studies and experiments in the
June, 1909, Review of Reviews. met
him last week and he talked as if he would
come, if not in Europe, and if he is he will
send good man. He is great authority
on wheat, fruit and schools.

Editor Register-lfthe LAWS carried out
our drugs store will not sell enough intoxi-
eating liquors to justify them in paying the
SIS United States license. Allow me to
repeat that. If Our physicians conscientious
ly comply with the spirit of the State laws
in prescribing, and the druggists do the
same in selling. twill not profit the druggist
to take out government license. In Front
Royal, Va, the druggists have quit hand
ling liquor for that reason. Why not 90
this in Shepherdstown? Druggists and
physicians say they are importuned for the
stuff, that they make enemies by refusing,
etc. Why not, then, help to cut it out :?
Can we not do without it entirely ? Be
consistent, and help us to get rid OF it.
Medical tests have shown that spirit
GUS liquors are harmful to the extent OF
the quantity taken, and when stimulant
is needed something else can be used.
Temperance people can help here by not
using il in their homes.
II druggists did not handle it, they could
not be importuned until perhaps they
sold a bottle sealed, pretending to think
they were not violating the law, or, as
was the case few days since, when a
man from Maryland was after certain
physician TO get prescription for a "pint"
for man he met on the way who was
feeling bad, said it would be all right, had
gotten it before, etc.
Let us be consistent and cut the stuff
out, and no one in our community can
exert more influence to do this than our
physicians. b.

The town of Shenandoah, Va, voted

time OF its founding the town of Shenan-
doah was wet until 1905, when it voted
dry, and again in 1907 went dry by II

said to have been very bitter one. The
temperance forces had not expected much
opposition, but the liquor advocates have
been working and organizing for the past
month or two and got in their work very
effectively. The whiskey people had as
one OF their workers man known as
Rev. g. A. Wasson, alleged to be an
Episcopal minister OF New York, who
made speeches in favor of the saloons.
The Baltimore Sun says that the attitude
of the pastor of one of the most prominent
churchs in Shenandoah also had consider
