FAY HOTEL
Mon. July Path, One Day Only
Remarkable Success Of these Talented
Physicians in the Treatment Of
Chronic Diseases.
OFFER THEIR SERVICES FREE OF CHARGE

The Northwestern United Doc
tors, licensed by the state for the
treatment of deformities and ali
nervous and chronic diseases of
men, women and children, offer
to all who call on this trip, con-
sultation, examination and advice
free, making no charge whatever,
except for the actual cost of med
icine. All that is asked in return
for these valuable services is that
every person treated will state the
result obtained to their friends
and thus prove to the sick and af-
f1icted in this locality, that at last
treatments have been discovered
that are absolutely sure and GER
tain in their effect.
Many Wonderful Cures
So great and wonderful have
been their cures that in many
cases it is hard indeed to find the
dividing line between skill and
miracle.
Diseases of the stomach, in
testines, liver, blood, skin, nerves,
heart, spleen, kidneys, or bladder,
rheumatism, sciatica, diabetes,
bed-wetting, leg, uncers, weak
lungs and those afflicted with
long-standing, deep-seated, chron-
ic diseases, that have baffled the
skill Of the family physician,
should not fail to call.
Nothing in Their Treatment
That Sounds Like a Knife.
By their developed system, no
more operations for appendicitis,
gall stones, tumors, goiter, piles or
cancer. They were among the
first in America to earn the name
Of the *Bloodless Surgeons" by
doing away with the knife, blood
and pain in the successful treat
ment, and cure of these dangerous
diseases.
Their new treatment for cancer,
tumor, tubercular glands, eating
ulcers and other malignant
growths is wonderful in it's effect.
A germ destroying fluid is inject
ed hypodermically into the very
heart Of the growth until it reach
es every root, fibre, cell and sub
stance. One treatment in many
cases is sufficient to cure.
No matter what your ailment
may be, no matter what others
may have told you, no matter
what experience you may have
had with other physicians, it will
be to your advantage to see them.
Have it forever settled in your
mind. If your case is incurable
they will give you such advice as
may relieve you and stay the dis
ease. Do not put off this duty

DEATH OF MRS. RusMIsELLE

Sangersville, July 21.-Mrs. Katie
Rusmiselle died Thursday night at
nine o'clock at the home Of her son
David about two miles northwest of
Mount Solon. She was in her eighty
sixth year and had been in ill health

had lived alternately with her sons,
John and David, spending possibly a
little greater portion of her time with
John because he lived on the old
home place. She is highly respect

relatives have the sympathy of a
host of friends.
In addition to her two sons, John
and David, she leaves the following
daughters: Mrs. Maggie Woodell,
Mrs. Vernie Michael, of Augusta
county, Mrs. Laura Malcomb, of Nc
Dowell, and Lydia Mclaughlin, of

fiook of the Lutheran church, OF

HALL STICKS TO STORY
Clifton Forge Youth Still Claims
That Girl Killed Self

Clifton Forge, Va, July 22.-Ed-
ward Hall, accused of the murder
of Miss Dona Nicely, still refuses to
make a statement. He is confined in
the county Jail in Covington. He is
cool and collected and apparently un-
concerned. His preliminary trial will
not be held until Tuesday or We'd
neSday next.
When Hall was arrested he gave
the officers the pistol with which the
woman was killed and told them that
she had committed suicide.
Hill also states that he spent the
entire evening with the girl, as they
had started out with the idea of COM
pleting their suicide pact by hanging.
This part of the story is borne out by
the fact that the dead girl purchased
twenty feet of rope the night the
supposed suicide was to take place.
The coroner's jury found that the
woman had come to her death at the
hands of Edward Hall. The rope in
question where the woman's body
was discovered by the berry-bickers.
Hall made no statement as to why
he carried off the pistol after the al
legged suicide and failed to notify the
| police.

AUTO DRIVER KILLED
Lewis Strang Was One of Amer
jca'S Best Known Racers

Milwaukee,July 21.-Lewis Strang,
well-known automobile driver, who
has driven in races in various Sec
tions of the United States, was in
stantly killed today near Blue River,
a village about 20 miles from Rich
land Center, while plotting the ma
chine of the technical committee on
the Wisconsin Automobile Associa-
tion's annual reliability run, tour was
from Lacrosse to Lancaster, dis
tance of about 128 miles.
Early reports were to the effect
that Strang was going along at a
good speed, when, in endeavoring to
avoid a collision with passing team,
the car plunged over an embankment.
Later advices, however, indicate that
the car was running at only about
miles an hour, and that the team
was going in the same direction.
Strang turned aside, but the bank
suddenly gave way. The car slid
down the embankment, turning tur-
tie, and Strange, reluctant to jump
went under to his death.
Lewis Strang was 26 years old
His first drive was in Elkwood Park
track, and he drove in practically
every race of Importance since 1907

SMALL BOY OF MYSTERY
Nobody At Hand Who Speaks
His Language Or Knows of Him

Trenton, N. j., July pa bright
little chap years old is at the New
Jersey Children's Home in this city
and there is not the slightest notion
as to who he is or where he came
from. He talks a language which
as vet no one has been able to under
stand, and altogether the little fellow
is proving one of the greatest mys-
teries that the society ever has had
to deal with.
The boy was first discovered early
Yesterday on a train in the vicinity
of Point Pleasant. He was found
alone and no one on the same train
seemed to be with him. The cOnduc-
tor did not know what else to do, so
the boy was put off at Point Pleasant.
No one turned up to claim him, and
this afternoon. the little stranger was
sent to Trenton.
So far about half dozen langu-
ages have been tried on the boy, but
he could understand none of them
nor can any one understand him.
He will be held at the home until the
mystery is cleared.

HEAR OF BIG POOL
Steel Concern Formed Agree ment
to Divide Up On Orders

Washington, July PA pooling
agreement made by the Carnegie
Steel Company and ten other large
steel concerns in 1900 was submit
ted to the Stanley steel trust COM
mittee today, showing how business
was proportioned under ironclad
rules.
Eugene G. Bonniwell of Wayne,
Pa, lawyer and democratic candi-
date for Congress last autumn, told
of having seen the agreement, and
how he induced F. B. Kaufman of
Coatsville, Pa, publisher, who
printed copy of the agreement for
the Lukens Steel Company in 1900.
to procure copy of it for the steel
committee.
Eleven in Combine
The agreement has been in posses
sion of Chairman Stanley for some
time, and a number of witnesses have
been questioned regarding it. Eleven
great steel companies entered into
the agreement and apportioned
among themselves all shipments of
steel plates.
The steel company that dared vio-
late the agreement laid itself liable
to heavy penalties and it is said that
fines of $1,000 frequently were i'm
posed on members of the combina-
ton when complaints were filed with
the executive committee. Each firm
was required to make monthly sworn
statements relating to shipments, roll
ing production, etc., and any member
who shipped more than his apportion-
ed amount was required to pay pen
atty on each pound of such excess,
the money thus collected being ap-
portioned among the members who
did not ship up to their allotted
share.

NEW WATER SUPPLY
Much Interest at Weyer's Cave in
Proposition Now Being Con-
sidered by Committee

Viewers Cave, July 21.-A meet
ing was held Wednesday evening by
some of the citizens to consider the
advisability of accepting Mr.. w. S.
Kaiser's offer to sell his spring to the
town. The opinion seemed to be
unanimous that they should buy the
spring if the water could be forced
into the town, a distance of a mile
and a half, without incurring too
large an expense. Several plans
were discussed and it was finally
decided to investigate the cost OF
installing a ram for forcing the water
into a reservoir on one of the hills
between here and. the spring. A
committee was appointed to have
the proposed routes surveyed and
to get estimates of the cost OF lay
ing the pipe from several contrac-
tors. They are to report in two
weeks, when a final decision is ex-
pected to be made. This decision,
the favorable passing of which means
so much to the future progress of the
town, is awaited with intense inter-
est by every one.

SOME GOLD MINE THIS
Queer Situation as a Result Of
Haroer's Ferry Going "Dry"

.Harper's Ferry, w. Va, July 21.
Albertus Spencer, who conducts a lit
tie mountain saloon directly under
the rocky lodges of Maryland Heights
or Elkridge Hill, retired on June 81
last with $16.66 in his pockets, re-
presenting his profits from the days
business. He accounted that a great
deal, and was happy and contented.
The next night he ''salted" away
about ten times that much as the
net proceeds of that days business.
As a result of the closing of saloons
in Harper's Ferry, Spencer has man
aged to keep up the good work at
about the same rate from to day
since then, and there is no prospect
of change. Harper's Ferry is
bound to be dry until July 1 next,
and Spencer's license is paid up to
that time. There is every indication
that he will increase his business still
more.
Thus Spencer takes rank with the
most successful men in his business
in the world. He now enjoys from
the sale of his thirst quenchers a
steady income of approximately
$1,000 a week. At this rate, he will
ear $4,000 in year. If he can
keep that up few years, with the
help of the interest on his savings
and investments, he will take seat
among the millionaires. Spencer
seems to stand the strain very well.
He used to be glad if he could
sell a few cases of beer and a few
| quarts of whiskey in day. Now he
averages close to SO cases of the
amber fluid and several barrels OF
whiskey each day. To these are to
be added a great variety of other Ii
quors in large quantities.
Last Saturday Spencer sold 1,87t
bottles of beer, at 10 cents each
four barrels of whiskey,and barre
of gin. That was his banner day tt
date. The gross proceeds of that
days business approximated $4,000

j. C. Carper, Jr., bids fair to take
off the prize for Augusta county in

a late start he stood third oD the

the good rains in this section, and
the continued drouth in others he
has forged away up front and if he

other fellow good run for his
money.

surface, in a solid bed of clay. How
it got there or how long it had been
there no one could say, but it evil
IDENTIFY had not contracted rheuma-
tism from damp surroundings, for
Mr.. Vint said that after blinking at
the sun few times, it hoped away
like any other ordinary toad would.
