Why Not Jefferson County ?

why MOI JeIleTSOH NOulty
A recent item from Charleston, w. Va,
says:
Are you interested in better highways?
That question is asked by the POStmaS-
ter-General and the Secretary OF Agrlcul-
ture. The last postal appropriation bill
passed by Congress contained clause
appropriatng $500, 600 for improving the
condition OF roads over which rural mail
is carried. This is divided among the
several States OF the Union, on CONDITION
that the State or local county or munich
pal authorities appropriate again as much
as that given by the United States Gov
eminent. The work will be done by the
government. The Governor Of West
Virginia has been requested by the Post
master General and the Secretary OF Ag-
rlculture to select suitable road, about
fifty miles in length, or have some coun-
~ or counties select such a road, over
which mail is now carried, and supply
$40 600 to be added to the $4,000 TO be
furnished by the national government.
Governor GlaSScoCk is DESTROYS that the
matter be taken up at once by such coun-
ties or districts that may desire 10 enter
into the proposition, and report to him,
so that he may take the matter up with
the authorities. This request has been
made OF Governor GlaSScock by PostmaS-
ter General Frank n. Hitchcock and Sec
rotary OF Agriculture James Wilson.
How would it do for our Jefferson
county officials to take hold OF this matter
and thus make sure of fifty miles OF really
first-clasS public roads? Our roads are
good already, but what famous improve
ment could be made under this oppor-
tunityl II it is bit too much for Jeffer-
son county to invest, how would it do to
have Berkeley county join in with us?

John whitIock's Queer Behavior.

Last Thursday rather unprepoSSeSs-
ing looking stranger who seemed to be
about IS years of age made his appear
ance in Shepherdstow and as a result
of his peculiar actions is now in Jail in
Charles Town serving six months SEN
tence. The man claimed to be detec-
tive, and to persons to whom he talked
he showed a badge and told a thrilling
story of a robbery TO be. He said that
while he was sleeping in barn at Ha-
gerstown a gang of desperadoes also
took shelter there, and he overheard their
plot to come to Shepherdstown and rob
one OF our banks. He accordingly came
on here TO give warning OF the proposed
crime. He made particular inquiries
concerning the banks, asking it they kept
watchmen at night, how they were pro-
tected, and he made as close an examina-
ton OF the bank premises as he could
from the outside. He was glib with his
story about the yeggmen, but contradicted
himself in several statements, arousing
considerable suspicion by his talk and
actions. Ii is said that he also went TO
the residence of DR.. NJ. H. Crawford,
near town, where he told somewhat
similar yarn, stating that DR.. Crawford'S
home was the place TO be robbed. Mayor
Martin, learning OF The circumstances, in
structed Town Sergeant Shipley 10 arrest
the man, and he was picked up at the
freight station. He was brought TO town
and searched, when there was found
upon him big revolver fully loaded,
razor, several knives, and quite variety
of other articles. Hewas promptly given
a cell in the town lookup. and the banks,
fearing that he was the forerunner OF
gang OF crooks, put on special watchmen.
Next morning the prisoner was given a
hearing before Magistrate K. q. Miller,
upon the charge Of carrying concealed
weapons-a serious offense in this State.
He promptly plead guilty, and also &C
knowledged that he was not a detective,
having bought his badge in Harrisburg.
He stuck TO his story about the robbers,
however, declaring that they meant to
crack the banks here. Nothing was
heard from them, though. The man
gave the name OF John Whitlock, and
said he was from a little town in New
York State. He said that he was an en-
glneer, and had recently been working
in Greenville, North Carolina, where he
had run dinky engine. He incidentally
observed that he had killed ali Italian
there, and that he had since been pur-
sued by friends of the Dago who were
seeking revenge. Magistrate Miller gave
him the minimum sentence OF the law for
carrying piStol-six months in the county
| Jail and tine Of $5O-and the prisoner
cheerfully announced his willingness to
take the salty dose 1t was apparent
that there was something wrong wltlfthe
mamie had a screw loose or was a
dope fiend, or was the victim OF some
other peculiar condition. He was taken
to Jail at Charles Town Friday afternoon,
where he will likely remain until next
| Iune.

which the family Is subject But since
the change in the formula Of Peruna
do not find 1t quite as useful to my
self. Ny bowels are naturally very
active. ! cannot take q cathartic OF
any sort. It does me injury to do So
The old Peruna contained no cathartio
Ingredient and was therefore very
useful medicine to me. But / notice
that the new Peruna has slight lax
alive action. which almost makes 1t
prohibitory for me to use. l was Won
dering II there was not some way IN
which I could obtain the old Peruna an
you used to make It."
To this letter I made the following
reply: Eyes, the new Peruna does
contain a laxative element You
should therefore take the old Peruna
(Ka-tar-no) which has no laxative
quality. While prescribing the
old Peruna found 1t quite
necessary frequently to prescribe the
laxative Manalin In connection with It.
Therefore Manalin was combined with
Peruna, In order to meet those cases
that require laxative. But in case no
laxative Is required the objection to
the new Peruna you speak OF
arises. Many Of the people
who used to take the old Peruna found
difficulty in taking the new Peruna
To meet those cases I am having man
ufactured the old Peruna under the
name Of Katarno, and II you are
anxious to get the old Peruna exactly
as It used to be made you can do so"
PERUNA IS FOR SALE AT ALL
DRUG STORES.
SPECIAL NOTICE Many persons
are making inquiries for the old
time Peruna. To such would say.
this formula Is now put out under the
name OF KA-TAR-NO, manufactured
by KA-TAR-NO Company, Columbus,

pleased to send you free booklet.

HOSE TURNED ON STUDENTS.
Dartmouth Lads Rush Theater in
Vermont Town.

WHITE RIVER JUNCTION, VT, No
vember 25.-Trouble approaching a riot
had started in the streets here Saturday
night when the firemen turned the hose
on a crowd Of Dartmouth students num-
bering more than 800. who had come from
Hanover to the Crown Theater. The in
terror of the theater had been damaged
and police and firemen for a while were
powerless to quell the disturbance.
Townspeople and students were drenched
Many windows were broken and stores
were more or less damaged by water.
During the height of the trouble a rush
was made by the students upon the fire
men, but counsel from some of the older
of the Dartmouth men finally prevailed.
and on hearing that the college authori-
ties had been notified and were on the
way, the students dispersed. most of them
walking back to Hanover on the rail-
road track. No arrests were made.
The streams OF water did not wholly
check the students and when the audi
ence poured out Of the theater about
o clock, the curtain having been rung
down. the trouble became worse. The
hose was cut several times.
The selectmen of the town of Hart
ford were called out and the police, con-
stables and deputy sheriff were on hand.

HUNDREDS IN PERIL.
Home for Feeble Minded Burns-One
Patient Dies in Flames.

NEW YORK, November 25.-One insane
man was burned to death. scores were
rescued by heroic attendants and 1000
thrown into panic by a fire that destroyed
two buildings OF the Brunswick Home for
Feeble Minded Children at Amityville, L.
l.. yesterday afternoon.
The scenes that followed the removal
of the 600 patients from the main
building were indescribable. The cries
Of the terrified men and women were
ecilier from London Hall and the Long
Island Home, in which the institution s
1000 or more patients were becoming un-
manageable.
All buildings of the three institutions
caught fire repeatedly, but only the an
mex and cottage were destroy ed. 1t was
there that death and peril and heroism
mingled.

the annex, with the sixty other patients
quartered there.
Monrady had watched the final res
cues while standing under guard outside
Suddenly he leaped forward, just as the
upper floors of the three-story frame
structure went down into a seething flame
pit. He ran for the door frame that
stood outlined against a background OF
fire. Before pursuing guards could over
take him he had rushed through that
fearful portal and was dead.
An attendant said that the mailman had
left g. pet canary-the only thing In the
world he Ioved-in its cage in the dormi-
tory. It Is believed he was trying to rescue
the bird.
The other patients who broke from the
lines were rounded up soon afterward.

had been accounted for.

Again the courageous, but nearly ex-
