The New Railroad.

Along the first bluff of the Potomac,
four miles north of Harper's Ferry, through
the lands of the late Robert Duke, Pet
Moler and James Enge heirs, is vein
of mineral called dolomite, it being a
grade of limestone highly charged with
magnesia, and not very plentiful.
This vein runs through to Millville,
where the Baker Brothers paid $4,000
for small field of il and have had amo-
nopoly oft.
In the making OF iron and annealing OF
steel dolomite is essential. With every
CARLOAD of iron ore wheelbanow load
OF dolomite must be mixed to make the
proper mixture in melting the metal. Our
county is fortunate in having a supply of
it.
Last week an agentI of the PittSburg
iron works looked over the farms named
above and offered $4,000 field for the
land, and it is probably worth many times
that, as only small quarrieS of it in New
York and New Jersey are known.
The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad officials
say that they will build four or five miles
Of the new railroad il the quarrieS are de-
veloped at once, as they expect to build
the entire line in few years, under the
new and strenuous president of the road
just elected. II will develop much more
business in our county. Let il come.

Letters Sent By Wire.

The Western Union Telegraph Com
pany is working on plan by which
short letters Can be sent over the wires
of the company at night, when regular
business falls off. Such messages, known
as might letters" are to be filed not later
than midnight and are subject to delivery
the next morning under certain condi-
tions. They are to be delivered at their
destination either by messenger boys or
through the local postoffice, and so words
may be sent at the day rate OF 10, with
one-fifth the rate for each additional ten
words.
The plan looks to be apretty good one,
and one that will doubtless be extensively
used, but the Western Union Company
will have to see to il that there are nc
'1eaks" through its operatives, as, for in
stance, great deal more of importance
can be expressed in business letter oi
so words than in one of 10, a great deal
more ardor should the message happen
to be alove-letter. Properly safe guard
ed, we believe the might letters" would
prove quick and adequate means o.
communication between distant points al
comparatively small cost.

Keep the Saloons Out.

Editor Register-As one who hopes to
make your town his permanent place OF
sojourn, the best interests of your people
his interests, as very small Taxpayer,
but a real one, enter my earnest plea
for the continuance of anti-saloon author
ity.
In all kindness, but with candor, let me
say that in my judgment the coming CAM
paign against the whiskey ring should
not have been necessary.
When the will of the people was clearly
expressed at the polls last year, and the
town went dry, the mayor and council as
servants of the people should have been
required to pass an ordinance making
that decision law OF the municipality.
The snake, scotched, should have been
slain, not drugged and stupefied to be re-
vivifed and made ready for another fight.
However, there is now no alternative.
So it behooves all true friends OF law and
order, OF decency, of morality, of the ris-
ing generation to enter earnestly into, the
conflict
Especially must all Christians do what
conscience dictates, what obligations the
Master and His cause demand, what the
promptngs of brotherhood require-vote
against the saloon.

Their General.

Nothing could better show the love OF
the Confederate army for their command
er, General Lee, than the incident told by
Prof. w. w. Smith in Southern Histor-
ical Papers" AT one time, during the
Battle of Spottsylvania, the Army OF Vir-
ginia was severed, and ruin seemed in
evitable. Aquick order was given, sum-
moning two brigadeS from the trenches, a
feeble force against the thick-massed foe.
AS the regiments stood, ready to attack,
an officer on an iron-gray horse was seen
to ride to the front. He uttered no word,
but pointing at the foe, advanced to lead
the charge. As he did so, he turned his
face toward the army. The sight OF that
face, full OF calm resolve, sent thrill OF
dismay through each heart, for there,
amid the already whistling bullets, rode
the idolized general of the army-Lee.
To throw their bodies in front OF him
was the involuntary impulse which seized
the devoted soldiers. Gordon, COM
mander of the charging column, saw the
situation Dashing up. he laid his hand
on the bride rein OF the chief, saying:
General Lee, this, sir, is not your
place. We will drive the enemy back.
This is the Army Of Virginia. They have
never failed you, and they will not now.
Will you, boys ?"
"No No p burst from the eager lines.
General Lee to the rear ! We can't do
anything until General Lee goes to the
rear |"
An officer reverently led the iron-gray
through the opening lines, while the ring
ing voice of Gordon sounded Forward y
The soldiers faces setin grim determin-
alton. The word passed from mouth TO
mouth: Remember that General Lee IS
looking at us !" and the army rushed on
to successful attack.

The Hens That Built Schools.

That the fate of Rome once hung on the
cackling of flock of geese is an old story.
But few, even among the tens of thou
sands who annually make the pilgrimage
to Northfield, know that the big confer
ences and the two schools there, which
stand as the truest monument to Dwight
L. Moody's memory, were brought there
by so slender a mischance as the straying
of perverse flock of Minorca hens.
The hens belonged to Mr.. Moody's
mother, and, as most stories of this sort
run, the garden belonged to neighbor
The incident which served as the instru-
ment of fate occurred shortly after the
great evangel through England.
Mr.. Moody was paying his mother a
visit at the old home in Norhfield, when
neighbor complained that the Minorcas
were playing havoc with certain bean
hills in his garden, and insisted that the
hens should be kept at home.
Mr.. Moody, in a diplomatic effort to
settle the trouble, offered TO buy the three
or four acres which exerted so powerful
an attraction on his mothers poultry.
But the neighbor vas not inclined to sell
so small portion of his land. He did
declare willingness to dispose of his en-
tire holding, however, and named a mod
est figure as the consideration.
Making quick mental comparison OF
values, Mr.. Moody cried, "DoneW with
characteristic decision, and promptly made
out check in payment for the whole
farm, still not thinking that il would ever
serve so large and vital work as il now
| serves.
II was only fortnight after this pur-
chase, while driving one day with his
brother to visit distant pasture, that they
passed a little cottage on the mountain
side, where mother and two daughters
were seated in the doorway, braiding
hats. Near by was the father, helpless
paralytic, and the little family was entire
ly supported by the simple handcraft OF
the mother and two daughters.
The sight made a great impression on
Mr.. Moody, as he realized that they rep
resented large number of young girls
in the rural districts of New England,
who were practically deprived of high
school advantages, and who had little
opportunity for growth and development.
Seeing at the same instant away to utilize
his new-bought lands to The best advan-
tage, and realizing the great need might
alleviate, he soon began to make active
plans for the Northfield Seminary.
The first building erected was a small
recitation hall, with six recitation rooms
and an assembly room that would accom-
modate fifty students. Lacking funds to
build dormitory, Mr.. Moody fitted up
wing of the old homestead for that pur-
pose. Two years later, through the gen.
erosity OF a man in New Haven, he was
enabled to start a similar institution for
boys-the college at Mount Hermon.
From such humble beginnings have
grown the numerous beautiful buildings
that now crowd each campus, with twice
as many applicants as can be admitted to
their class rooms, and the series of sum-
mer conferences which often muster five
thousand people in and about the little viii
lage at one time.

They Killed Some Game.

The hunting trip of former President
Roosevelt and his party in Africa has been
ended, and the members Of the expedition
are now sailing down the Nile for Khar-
toum, where they expect TO arrive March
18th. With their departure from Condo
koro few days ago the African scientific
expedition under the auspices of the
Smithsonian Institution, OF Washington,
led by the former President, was for all
practical purposesIbrought to close.
Roosevelt considers that the killing OF
the giant Glands in his recent excursion
along the upper reaches Of the Nile was
fitting wind-up of a marvelouSly sue
ceSsful trip. The results generally, from
the standpoint of the hunter and the scien-
fist, have exceeded all expectations.
Roosevelt and his son Kermit have kill
ed some 500 specimens oflarge mammals,
The bag includes II lions, II elephants,
10 buffaloes. 10 black rhinoceroseS, 9
white rhinoceroses, g hippopotami, 9
giraffes, 3 leopards, 7 chetahS, B giant
Glands, 3 sables, one sitatunga and bon
goS.
All these were killed in the interest of
science, and the specimens will be dis
posed of accordingly, the greater number
going to the Smithsonian Institute. Mr..
Roosevelt will retain not more than six
trophies for himself.
From the point of importance the most
highly priced game may be rated as fol-
lows: First, the giant Glands, the first
complete specimens OF which family are
now being taken from the country; sec
ord, the white rhinoceroseS; third, the
bongos, the first to be Stalked and killed
BY white man. and fourth, the Sitatunga,
species OF antelope.
The naturalists secured remarkable
collection, comprising many thousands
of birds and other mammals. The re-
suits in this line have been most gratifying,
and science will be enriched by several
new species and an enormous series OF
the smaller mammals OF Africa.
The game taken and the collections
made constitute a worlds record for a
similar period of hunting and scientific
research in Africa, and the American mu-
seums will receive the greatest collection
OF African fauna in existence.
Roosevelt will now devote his time to
writing, including the preparation OF the
addresses which he is TO deliver in
Europe. He will do no more hunting
unless, on the trip down the Nile, chance
throws in his way an opportunity to Sc
cure some rare specimens.

Are Drugs Necessary?
Do Drugs Cure Disease?
Can Nature be Assisted?

I ia person would correct his habits,
persist in right eating and temperate
ways, undoubtedly tho stomach would
right itself, the blood would rid itself %
the poison, and everything would b
right. But as said before there are Q
multitude OF people W ho will nos or can
not adopt right methods Of living. TO
such people Peruna Is . boon. A dose
before meals will assist the stomach TO
do its work. This prevents fermenta-
ton Of the food, brings about normal
digestion, and all the train Of Ills thss
follow indigestion disappear.
In other words, Peruna Is helpful 30
those who live badly, or those who
have acquired some chronic weakness.

II people were born right and after
wards lived right, there would be no
use for medicine. Every doc:>r knows
this. So do other well-informea people.
One thing more. When q person lives
wrongly, or acquires bodily weakness by
heredity, medicine can do only very
little. Medicine cannot cure him. Only
charlatans claim that medicines win
cure disease. Medicines may palliate
symptoms. Medicines may urge the
powers of Nature to oresist disease. Med
icines sometimes arouse the efforts Of the
human body TO right itself against de-
rangements. This is the most that med
icine can do.
Aman accidentally puts his finger IN
the fire. Instinctively he vets bis
finger ir mouth, then blows on II
for the ~ effect. This Is no cure,
He knows 1t very well. But It makes II
feel better for the time being.
People eat unwisely. This produces
dyspepsia or indigestion. The only
rational cure Is TO eat correctly. Yet II
o palliative is at hand the pains OF indi'
gestion can be mitigated, the throes ol
dyspepsia assuaged. The medicine can
not be said to have cured. 1t simply
palliates disagreeable symptoms. The
cure must come through right living.
Take Peruns, for instance. No one
claims Peruna is n cure for dyspepsia
But Peruna will stimulate the stomach
70 perform its function properly. Peru
ma will increase the flow Of digestive
fluids, without which digestion caunot
be carried on at all. twill increase the
relish Of food, the appetite.
It Is admitted that all this can be
accomplished by right living, but there
are SO mlny people who either VIII mol
or do not know how to eat correctly that
a tremendous amount OF good can be
done by the wise use OF Peruna.
A stomach that has been frequently
abused performs the function OF diges-
ton very Iazily. Such stomach allows
the food to remain undigested for some
time after It Is swallowed. This leads
70 fermentation Of the food. Sour stom'
sch IL the result. This goes on week
after week, until the blood is poisoned
with the products of fermentation. This
condition is very apt 10 produce rheum'
stism.
It's not claimed that Peruna VIII cure
rheumatism. Nothing will cure rheum-
stism but correct living. But 1t Is
claimed that Peruna will assist a badly
abused stomach to perform its work.
