Tnat,s the way with us. We want
~ opinion. We asked our readers
80 weeks g to give US friendly sug-
.,ions or criticisms as to how to im-
W. and make the Hustler-Democrat
Sore p~opular. We have had a number
= timely suggestions but n waiting
.,r more. We want to give our sub
..ribers more than their moneys
..orth and want to satisfy them if pos
chile, but unless we hear from them we
,ont know what kind of newspaper
tbav prefer. Silence in this case must
,0cessarily mean that We r giving
satisfaction.
We take pleasure in giving some
,sIuable contributions below from
Prof. ". S. Shitle, county superinten-

We value these suggestions very
highly and regard the most Of them as
highly practical and in the announce
ment of our new policies it will be
seen that we are complying with
the suggestions of times valued
readers. We would appreciate a few

Editor Democrat:

Editor
Acting upon your request that sug-
gestions be made to improve your pa
per, I would suggest a Religious Col
INN or page each week. In this col
umn or page print news from the
churches. 1 will gladly act as repoc-
ter for Baptists of the county, if this
is done, and Suggest that some one in
each of the churches act in that ca
pacity for their churches. In this way
the religious development of our peo-
rle would be kept before us and It
would prove stimulative of greater &C
tivity. Respectfully,
K. w. CAWTHON.

County Loses Suit.

County Loses SUIT.
The West Virginia Supreme Court OF
Appeals last week reversed the Circuit
Court OF Jefferson County in the case OF
Fonrose Shipley, administrator OF Melvin
Shipley, VS.. the County Court OF Jeffer-
son County, and entered judgment
against the county for $1,000, the amount
OF the verdict given by jury when the
case was tried in the Jefferson Circuit
Court. The verdict in the Circuit Court
was conditional one, il being dependent
upon the decision OF Judge Faulkner on
demurrer TO the evidence filed by the
county's attorneys. Judge Faulkner sus-
tanned the demurrer, which in effect set
aside the verdict OF the jury. An appeal
was then taken to the Supreme Court,
the case being argued last September,
when the court was in session in Charles
Town.
This suit grew out OF an accident that
occurred at Weirick's Mill in June, 1904,
when the bridge across EvlttS run COL
laped under a traction engine. The
ShipIey boys, who lived in Shepherds
town, were employed with the county
road-making outfit, and were on the en-
CINE when the bridge gave way. When
it went down Melvin Shipley and John
Wise were killed and Silas ShipIey was
badly injured. Suit against the county
was instituted by Fonrose Shipley, ad-
ministrator, and father of the two Ship
ley boys. The case has dragged along
in the courts for nine years, and has just
been finally decided. J. M. Woods and
Geo. NJ. Beltzhoover, Jr., were counsel
for the plaintiff, and the county was rep
resented by Geo. D. Moore, James M.
Mason, Jr., and Forrest w. Brown.
Silas Shipley, who was hurt in the
same accident, now has suit pending
for $1,000 damages.

Runaway Episodes.

Last Thursday evening while Mr.. and
Mrs. Lewis Mcdonald and VIM. 7. Nc
Quilkin were driving to town one of the
traces became UNASSIGNED about mile
west of town and the horse began to run.
Mrs. Mcdonald, who was driving, LET go
the lines and jumped, and Mr.. Mcdonald
and Mr.. McQuilkin then jumped out and
tried to stop the horse. This they were
unable to do, and the horse, pulling loose
from the buggy, came to town on a dead
run. 1t galloped the full length OF Main
street, and though many persons tried to
stop if, none succeeded until Robert
Crowell headed it off at the extreme east
end OF town. Mrs. Mcdonald was bruis-
ed and shocked severely, but neither OF
the other occupants of the vehicle was
injured, nor was the horse hurt. The
buggy shafts were broken, however, and
some damage was done TO the harness.
Harvey Hendricks, OF the Junction
neighborhood, had rather thrilling ex-
perience few days ago, when the horses
hitched to his binder ran off. Mr.. Hen
bricks had just gotten ready to start har-
vesting, and was making the first rounds
in his wheat field when suddenly some
thing frightened the three horses attached
to the binder and with one accord they
started on dead run. In trying TO throw
the machine out OF gear Mr., Hendricks
was hurled violently to the ground, and
then the team ran on unrestrained. He
picked himself up in time to see the
horses make a round or two at breakneck
speed, with the reel OF the binder look
ing like an electric fan and the wheat
going down in a perfect cataract. The
horses were finally stopped when the
machine got choked by running into
some shocked wheat. Harvey estimates
that harvest would have been over in
about an hour and a quarter if the horses
had kept up their pace without interior
ence.
Last Saturday Messrs. Harry J. E.
Thomas and Raleigh Sherman, of Sharps-
burg, drove to Shepherdstown with MIR.
Thomas handsome young driving horse.
The animal was hitched on side street,
but it got loose somehow and ran up
Main street and out the Martinsburg road,
pulling the light cart with it. After run
ming out the road some distance ii changed
its mind and turned back toward town.
1t came back along Main street at a gal
lop, but Pete Woods, a colored man,
loped after it at still faster gait and,
catching up to it, climbed into the cart,
got hold OF the lines and soon had the
horse under control. Not a particle OF
harm had been done 10 horse, harness or
cart, and our Sharpsburg visitors drove
comfortably home after making Pete
happy.

Real Summer Weather.

July made very satisfactory attempt
10 sustain its claim that il is genuine
summer month, by keeping the thermom-
eter extremely busy on the first day there
Of. Tuesday was corker. II had been
warm enough the week previous, but old
Sol spread himself on Tuesday and LET his
rays shine on the just and unjust. There
was scarcely cloud in the sky all day
long, and the elements were ready to melt
with fervent heat. Man and beast suffer-
ed, making il dangerous to do hard work.
The thermometer on the shady side OF
the Register building stood at 80 all the
afternoon, and between 4 and 5 O'Clock
it got up to l00-a record that we are
glad to say is seldom reached in this 10
cality. The heat was prevalent through
out the United States, and in the cities
many deaths were caused by it. There
was some relief yesterday-the thermom-
eter showing only 81 degrees ! Thunder
storms in the afternoon cooled the air a
bit, though there was but little rain here.
The extreme heat of the past week has
been very hard on horses, especially
those used in the harvest fields, and a
number have died in this section. Two
horses on the Stewart place at Keaneys-
vile, farmed by Mr.. Thorp, succumbed,
Mr.. Grubbs, on the Herr farm, lost one,
and another belonging to w. p. Licklider
died Tuesday. John Corbett and August
Lowman, near Sharpsburg, each lost a
horse from the heat during harvest.

There is long. and loud complaint
against the management Of the Western
Maryland Railroad because it has cut out
the stops Of its fast passenger trains at a
number of important stations. There is
really no excuse for the Western Mary

are seldom on time anyhow.
