Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion ofthe ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an inflamed condition OF the
mucous lining OF the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when il is entirely closed, Deafness IS The
result, and unless The Inflammation Can
be taken out and this tube restored TO It's
normal condition, hearing viii be destroy
ed forever; nine cases out OF ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamed condition OF the mucous sur
faces.

any case of Deafness Caused by catanh)

A pretty wedding was solemnizsd last
Thursday at the home OF Mr.. and Mrs.
H. c. Malone, Washington, D. c., when
Miss Grace T. Mcdonald, daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Chas B. Mcdonald, of
ShepherdStown, and Mr. Wickliife Wallis
Claggett, son OF Mr.. J. H. CIaggett, Of
Accotink, Va, and descendant OF the
late Bishop Thos, John Claggett, OF Mary
land, were married. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. A. p. Bird, of Wash
ington. The bride and groom were at
tended by Mrs. H. c. Malone, cousin OF
the bride, as matron OF honor, and Mr.. H.
S. Claggett, brother OF the groom, as best
man. The bride was becomingly gowned

alovely bouquet ofbride roses and maiden
hair fern. Immediately after the cere-
mony wedding supper was served to
the bridal party, and the happy couple
came to Shepherdstown as part OF their

Another romance eliminated in the
marriage OF a Shepherd College student on
Tuesday, when Mr.. Raye E. Kephart, OF
Keyser and Miss Donna Maxim Schrader,
of Parsons, w. Va, were united in mat
rimony. Miss Schrader has been STU
dent at Shepherd College the past term,
having had rooms at B. S. Pendleton's.
She had arranged to leave for home on
Wednesday, but Mr.. Kephart arrived on
Monday and evidently persuaded her to
change her plans, for they went to Ha-
gerstown on Tuesday and were married.
Their intentions were so concealed that
no one knew anything OF the affair until
the fact that the license had been issued
was published. Miss Schrader was
young and pretty girl and was good
student. The news of her marriage will
be a surprise here and at her home in
Parsons. This is the second wedding OF
students this spring, Mr.. Bruce Dicken,
of Hampshire county, and Miss Tae Bish-
op, of Terra Alta, having gotten married
a few weeks ago.

Eugene Shugart, OF Harper'S Ferry.
After short trip Mr.. and Mrs. Shugart
will go to Connellsville, Pa, to live.
The friends here OF Mr.. Shugart, who
formerly attended Shepherd College, ex-
tend hearty congratulations

OF them were from outside the State, and
escaped arrest, though the numbers on
their license cards were noted for future
use. Five owners OF automobiles and
one motorcyclist OF the county were
rrosecuted. Justice Gallsher gave the
four offenders hearing Thursday even
ing. Fines and cost aggregating 1915 in
each case were imposed on James Doran,

DEATH Is EVER BUSY.

Mr.. George Saunders Knott, one Of
Jefferson county's oldest and most highly
respected residents, died yesterday at his
home near Moler's Cross Roads, in the
Slst year of his age. He had been in de-
Ginning health for the past two years be-
cause OF the growing infirmities OF his ad-

chnery was exhausted his spirit passed
out and returned to the God who gave it.
Mr.. Knott was son of the late Samuel
Knott, and came of upright ancestry.
He was born in the neighborhood where
his long and useful life was spent, and
was the last survivor, save one, Mrs. !.
M. Hendricks, his sister, of his fathers
family. No one in the community was
more greatly esteemed than Mr.. Knott.
OF kind and gentle disposition, charitable
and genial, his personal life was above
reproach, and he was noted for his in
tegrity. II could be said of him that he
wronged no man, and he possessed the
unbounded confidence and respect of all
who knew him. Where he was best
known he was most beloved, and his in
fluence in his home neighborhood will
never die. From his youth up he was a
consistent member of the Methodist
Church, and for many years was an Of
ficial member of Bethesda congregation.
He had also been director of Jefferson
Security Bank for many years. He was
prosperous in his business affairs and
leaves considerable property, including
the fine farm on which he resided for so
long. He is survived by number OF
nieces and nephews, but no direct de-
scendants His wife died about six years
ago. The funeral service will be con-

Memorial Day.

Memorial Day.
Confederate memorial day was obServ-
ed in Shepherdstown last Saturday in
the impressive manner that has long been
feature of this annual celebration in
honor OF the heroic dead. Showers in
the morning caused some apprehension,
but the clouds rolled away, and an IN
usually large crowd OF persons from this
and adjoining counties assembled by 2
O'Clock, when the line of march was
formed on Main street. In the process
sion were the drum corps, the Shepherd
College Cadets, Sons of Veterans and
Veterans, with the invited guests in car
riages. John H. Schoppet was CHIEF
marshal. At the cemetery the customary
service was held, led by DIR. Chas. F.
Russell. The cadet corps fired the salute
over the graves of the soldiers with mill
tary precision, and Melvin Jones sounded
"taps" with the bugle. After prayer by
Rev. Chas. F. Freeman and music by the
choir, Rev. Harry B. Lee, ID. d., OF
Charlottesville, Va, a native of this
place, delivered the address in his most
effective and impressive manner. 1t was
listened TO with marked attention by
large audience, and we will publish it next
week. Atthe conclusion the address the
graves OF the soldiers were appropriately
decorated with flowers. The day was
an altogether pleasing one, and was en-
ioyed not only by our home people, but
by many persons from elsewhere. The
arrangements were made by the local
chapter OF the United Daughters of the
Confederacy, who are entitled to great
credit for their successful work.

Sox Go East Minus Walsh and
SuIIiVan-BoehIing Sets Record.

Anyone who saw the White Sox
depart for Boston last night would
have hard time believing they were
viewing the South Side regulars. Ex-
PLANTATION: Ed Walsh, Doc White and
Billy Sullivan were not in the party.
Neither was Bill LANCE nor Walter
Mattick.
If at the start of the season any
wild-eyed dOpist has declared there
would be an Eastern trip of the Sox
without Walsh, White or Sullivan, he
would have been hustled off to the
insane court. These three veteran
stars used to be the main attractions
when the Sox were on tour, and fans
crowded the ball yard, even when
they weren't due to work, simply to
glimpse their manly forms.
Leaving Walsh behind is further
proof that Manager Callahan can't
depend on the spit king. Ed is MAX
ing a last effort to round to condition
by staying at home and doing heavy
work daily. If he can manage to
approach his 1912 form he will be
