Mr.. sturgiss Gets Bill Passed.

Owing to the persistence and interest
of Congressman George c. Sturgiss, the
House of Representatives has at last
passed the bill to pay to the board Of ed
ucation of Harper's Ferry district its claim
against the government for S2,12l.72.
This claim was for school houses taken
and used by the United States troops dur
ing the Civil War. The claim has been
pending for forty years. 1t had been ex-
amined and rejected by the quatermaSter-
general on the ground that it was not
proven, and again rejected by the court
of claims three times because the school
board IA corporation) was disloyal. Mr..
Sturgiss introduced the bill in the House,
and then went before the committee on
war claims and made an unanswerable
argument that secured the unanimous re-
port of the committee favorable TO the
passage of the BILL He then followed it
through the House, until last week it was
finally passed. 1t is now up to the Sen
ators to get the bin through the Senate,
and if this is done the money can be paid.
The securing Of this money would mean
much to the people of Harper's Ferry and
Bolivar, for the district would at once take
steps for the establishment OF high
school, which is so greatly needed there
and which the board OF education is so
DESTROYS OF securing.

Excursion TO Washington.

ChaS. w. Allen, travelling passenger
agent OF the B. & o. Railroad, was in
ShepherdStown yesterday arranging the
details for an excursion TO Washington
on Friday, May 10th, when the great
Worlds Sunday School Convention will
be holding its sessions in that city. The
excursion rate from Shenandoah Junction
will be 81 80 for the round trip, and ii is
believed that couple Of hundred per-
sons will take advantage of this opportu-
nifty to see the capital city and at the same
time look in on a great religions conven-
ton with delegates from every part otthe
civilized world. Mr.. Allen will arrange
for Shepherdstown passengers to take
the regular N. & w. train here at $40 a.
m, and at Shenandoah Junction they will
get a special train on the B. & 0. which
will put them in Washington about 10
O'Clock. Returning, the special train will
leave Washington about 9 p. m, reaching
the Junction in time to catch the N. & w.
train due here about midnight, and which
will stop here for that occasion. Mr. Al
len says that the B. & o. is arranging to
carry many thousands of visitors from all
sections of the country to this convention,
which will be one of the most important
gatherings OF the year. Further particu-
lars will be given later.

Niger in the woodpiIe.

With startling headlines, the Indepen-
dent yesterday made sensational charges
that the Shepherdstown Electric Light
and Power Company has been overcharg-
ing the town tor its street lighting by us
ing false registering apparatus, and that
the company has been receiving tolls
greatly in excess of the actual consump-
ton" for street lighting. "ThiS excess"
it says, Z" is rated at anywhere from 80 to
50 per cent, which means in the total sew
eralhundred dollars yearly" To prove
the utter fooliShneSS of this assertion, It
is only necessary to read the financial
statement recently published by the town,
which shows that during the last year the
electric light company received from the
town the total sum of S4l3 81 for lighting
the streets for twelve months. Can any
fair or sensible man assert that several
hundred dollars" OF $43l 81, the bill for
street lighting for whole year, is fraud
ulent? Is there any town the size OF
Shepherdstown in all this section getting
its public lighting anywhere near so
cheaply? The fact is that the managers
of the electric light company believe that
there has been a concerted effort the past
year or two to embarrass the company
for an ultenor purpose which will sooner
or later be revealed, and the lndepen-
dent is most foolishly allowing itself to
be used TO conceal the niger in the
woodpile. We can assure the people
that the town has not been robbed by
the electric light company-on the con-
trary, it is being excellently served at a
ridiculouSly low rate.

HAIR HEALTH.
If You Have Scalp or Hair Trouble,
Take Advantage of This Offer.

We could not afford to so strongly en-
dorse Rexal "93" Hair Tonic and con-
tinue to sell it as we do, il we were not
certain that it would do all we claim 1t
will Should our enthusiasm carry US
away, and Rexall "93" Hair Tonic not
give entire satisfaction to the users, they
would lose faith in us and our statements,
and in consequence our business prestige
would suffer.
Therefore, when we assure you that II
your hair is beginning to unnaturally tall
out or if you have any scalp trouble, Rex
all "93'' Hair Tonic will promptly eradi-
cate dandruff, stimulate hair growth and
prevent premature badness, you may rest
assured that we know what we are talk
ing about.
Out of one hundred test cases Rexall
"93' Hair Tonic gave entire satisfaction
in ninety-three cases. lthas been proved
that it will grow hair even on bald heads,
when, ofcourse, the badness had not ex-
listed for so long time that the foIlicles,
which are the roots OF the hair, had not
become absolutely lifeless.
RexaII "93' Hair Tonic is vastly dif-
ferent from other similar preparations.

other human agency toward restoring hair
growth and hair health. 1t IS not greasy

cause permanent stain. It is as pleasant
to use as pure cold water.

positive guarantee that your money VIII

ment. 1t comes in two sizes, prices ~

Beginning with this week, the Regis
ter will hereafter make charge for GER
tain advertising that we have heretofore
been doing free, namely, the notices OF
festivals and entertainments OF various
sorts that are given for the purpose o
making money for specified objects. We
will have to charge a cent word for
each insertion of such items, and we
would like the money to accompany the
copy. The price of paper and everything
else connected with the printing business
has been advancing so constantly, that
it is absolutely necessary to increase rev.
enues in some way, and we wish to use
every expedient possible before we put
up the subscription rate. SO our friends
will please bear this new regulation in
mind, and when you want notice OF
this character inserted, please count the
words and send along the money at the
rate OF a cent word.
We will also have insist upon strict
compliance with our rates for publishing
obituaries ard memorial notices. Such
reading matter is at half price, that is,
half a cent a word. This iS a moderate
rate, and we hope that the money will
accompany all requests for such publica-
tioDS.

New Water Station in Use.

The Norfolk & Western Railway is now
using its new water plant just south OF
Shenandoah Junction, adjacent to the coal
shutes erected there several years ago.
Two large water tanks have been set up,
each having a capacity Of $4,000 gallons,
and two locomotives can take on water at
the same time, making considerable
saving of time in the running OF double
header freight trains. The engine-houSe
is Just across the track from the tanks,
and an ample water supply is obtained
directly from an arteSian well sunk there
some months ago. The water tank at
Shep herdstown, which has been used
ever since the railroad was first built, will
be practically abandoned. 1t will be
kept up as an emergency station, and viii
also serve as source OF water supply for
the new station. Ii will be in charge OF
the section foreman here, who will see
that it is kept filled. Charles B. McDon-
aid, who was engineer at the Shepherds
town tank, has been placed IN charge OF
the plant at Shenandoah Junction. Mr..
Mcdonald leaves his old quarters with
some reluctance, for he had very BEAU
tiful place. He had made miniature
park at the tank, with lovely flowers,
shrubbery and vines, rustic seats and
swings, bird-houses and all sorts OF at
tractive hooks, with the clear waters OF
the run adding an additional charm. He
says that he will try to improve his new
quarters in the same way, and hopes that
the people of the Junction will be as ap-
preciative and helpful as those of Shep-
herdstown have been. He asks US to re-
turn his thanks to the people here who
have been so kind to him in the past.
