Strong For Temperance.

The Grand Lodge OF Odd Fellows OF
West Virginia at its session in Charleston
last week declared in unmistakable terms
its attitude on the temperance question
and the prohibition amendment. BY
vote in which there was but one negative
voice'the Grand Lodge adopted the fol-
lowing strong resolution:
Whereas, the Sovereign Grand Lodge
has from time to time passed strong res
olutionS in favor of temperance, and bar
ring from Membership in our order the
saloon-keeper and the bartender, there
by encouraging temperance by precept
and example and
Whereas, the movement now on in
West Virginia against the saloon is nom
sectarian and political, and believ-
ing that Odd Fellowship with their Is 900
voters, properly instructed, holds the
balance of power for veal or woe, to this
and coming generations. therefore,
Be it resolved: That the Grand Lodge
now in session goes on record favoring
temperance, and that such proclamation
shall go forth to the Subordinate Lodges,
that tiSy lidJ at dSSOioiHSy'
The Grand Lodge also adopted reso-
luton expressing itself upon the subject
OF individual temperance and sobriety by
directing the Grand Master ''to appoint
committee, the personnel of which is
known only to him and them, who should
report TO him the names OF any members
of the Grand Lodge whom the committee
might observe intoxicated. and that he
should read to the Grand Lodge the names
of any such members so reported that
their expenses incurred in attendance
upon Grand Lodge should be denied
them, and the Grand Secretary should
report them to their respective lodges
and direct that charges be brought against
Them"
Edward T. Licklider, of this place, was
a passenger on a train of the Coal and
Coke Railroad from Charleston to Elkins
last Friday when test vote was taken
on the prohibition amendment. There
were ll2 of the passengers in favor OF
the adoption of the amendment and only
4 against it. Mr.. Licklider and his son,
Charles w. Licklider, and his daughter,
Miss Mary, attended the great lumber
mems picnic and reunion at Elkins last
Saturday, which was gotten up to boom
the amendment. They report the most
unbounded enthusiasm among the thouS-
ands who were present, and it is said
that nineteen out of every twenty OF the
organized lumbermen will vote against
the saloons. With such reports coming
from other sections, we earnestly hope
that the splendid county of Jefferson will
also fall in line with a substantial major
ity in favor of the amendment.
Rev. John L. Harley, of SpartanSburg,
South Carolina, delivered a most inter-
esting temperance address Tuesday
morning in the Shepherd College audi
forum in the presence of the school and
a number OF town folks. He is very en-
Pertaining speaker, and delivered some
telling blows for the prohibition amend
ment. Few persons can tell story or
an anecdote with better effect than Mr..
Harley, and he has an original manner OF
drying home his points that is extremely
effective.

Painful Accidents.

PdlnIuI ACCIucHtS.
Bernard Robinson, the l4-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Giles Robinson, met with
a very painful accident last Sunday. In
jumping from little embankment TO the
railroad track near the freight depot he
fell and injured one OF his arms quite
badly, fracturing the bone at the elbow
Joint and dislocating it at the same place.
Drs. Banks and Burwell were summoned,
and they were obliged to put the patient
under the influence of chloroform before
they could reduce the fracture and get
the joint in place. He suffered intensely
for time, but was very brave and plucky.
He is getting along as well as could be
expected.
r. o. Breeder, freight brakeman on
the Norfolk & Western Railway, had one
of his hands very badly hurt Tuesday
morning at the station in ShepherdStown.
He was coupling cars when his hand got
caught between the coupers, MASKING il
and inflicting serious injury. Drs.
Banks and Burwell were summoned and
gave the man surgical attention, and he
left on the early train for his home in
Shenandoah, Va. II the hand can be
saved it will probably be stiff and COM
parative!y useless.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining OF the Eu-
stachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out OF ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inilamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case OF Deafness caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catanh
Cure. Send for circulars free.

Whiskey Causes Another Tragedy.

Under the influence of liquor and fol-
lowing a quarrel with his sweetheart,
during which she refused to marry him
because he had been drinking, Samuel
Brown, aged Is years, employed as a
laborer at the Blair qIarries, near Mar
tinsburg, last Sunday night placed a re-
volver against his right breast, pulled the
trigger and died before assistance could
reach him. The tragedy occurred at the
home of James Mills, near the Blair quar-
ries, where young Brown boarded, and
the unfortunate young man was alone in
the dining-room of the house, with his
supper on the table before him, when he
committed the rash act. Young Brown
had threatened to kill his sweetheart,
Miss Virginia May Atkins, and had a
quarrel with her in the dining-room OF
the clearinghouse only a few minutes
before the tragedy occurred. AT that time
the brother OF young Brown had appar-
emily reasoned him out of his intention to
kill himself, and left the house, young
Brown and the girl remaining in the din
ing-room. 1t is said that she then again
refused to marry him, and that Brown
again threatened to kill her. The girl
then ran upstairs, and locked herself in
room. In a few moments a shot was
fired, and when the young mans brother
entered the room the suicide was in the
throes of death. The unfortunate young
man was Is years old. He had formerly
resided at Halltown, w. Va. where he
had made his home with an uncle, Ed
ward Brown, since childhood. His pa
rents are living, his father residing at
Shenandoah City, Va, and his mother
in Pittsburg. they being separated.
