the official announcement of the I'M

Call Made Before War.

While the preliminary summons
Will not be released anywhere in the
United States until today. the official
papers bear the date of Monday. July
27. Since war was not formally de-
clared until the following day. July
2S, the papers reveal the fact that
Austria has carefully and definitely
laid its plans for a war campaign
long in advance of the actual dec
laration of war. Local authorizes
believe that the announcement came
TO the United States by mail. thus in
suring an absolute secrecy that would
not have been possible had the in
structions been flashed over the ca
bles.
This explains why the Austrian
government refused to accept arbi-
tration on the ground that it had al
ready gone too far in making arrange
ments," said c. T Haas yesterday.
Pardon Offered Deserters.
That the Austrian government is
convinced that the Seryians will en-
list the support Of other nations is
further demonstrated by the promise
given in the summons that all desert
ers who Immediately return to Aus
tria prepared for war viii be pardon
ed for the offense they have commit
ted against the government, and will
not be placed in prison.
The paragraph reads: Amnesty
has been granted all those having
failed TO comply with their military
duty and to deserters who upon sum
mons or Of their own vOlition. imme-
diately return to their native coun-
try"
The announcement prescribes that
travelling expenses will be reimbursed
to those called into service and that
travelling expenses will be extended in
advance by the nearest consulate to
those who are not financially able 10
pay their own way home.

An Improvement.

The old town hall, now part OF the
Shepherd College group of buildings, has
undergone remarkable transformation.
1t has needed painting and plastering and
other repairs for good many years, and
during the past couple OF months it has
been in the hands OF workmen who have
given il attention in every detail. The
stage was dismantled-the curtain taken
down ard the scenery removed (; plasterer
Samuel Muck patched up the bad places ;
and such other repairs as were needed
were made. Then William K. and Hol-
land Miller were given the work Of re-
painting and decorating, and they have
transformed the room, making OF II a
handsome hall pleasing to the eye, clean
and fresh and sanitary. The walls have
been painted arestful butt shade and the
woodwork has been stained mahogany
color and vanished Those who were
used TO the old hall would hardly recog-
nize it in its new coat OF paint. The
room is to be used principally by the
domestic science department OF Shep-
herd College, which has recently been
established and which is in charge OF
Miss Woods.

David sigIer Attacked.

David SigIer, who farms Mrs. ID. l..
Rentch's place just west of Shepherds
town, had startling adventure Tuesday
morning. He had gone to the barn early
in the morning. and as he prepared to
put hay into the rack for the horses he
discovered colored man asleep in the
hay NOW. He told him to get out, as he
permitted no one TO sleep in the barn,
whereupon the negro made a vicious at
tack upon him with razor. The first
swipe he made he inflicted long cut
across Mr.. Sigler's forehead, and as the
latter threw up his hand the negro slash
ed him over the palm OF the hand, CIV
ing him painful wound. A third stroke
CT the razor cut his clothing, when Mr..
Sigler called for young man who was
working on the place. Al this the negro
fled, and nothing more was seen OF him.
Mr.. SigIer came 10 town and had his
wounds dressed by DR.. Burwell and at
the same time told of the episode. He
describes his assailant as being large,
black fellow, who was evidently a stranger
in this neighborhood. He does not know
in what direction the man left, and so for
no clue has been learned as to his where

Spring Weddings.

Spring Weddings
Mr.. Robert P. McGarry, OF Shenan-

Norfolk, Va, were married at the home
OF the brides sister in the latter place on
March 26lh, the ceremony being per-
formed by Rev. J. W. Burke, oil the

ness. He is now engaged in farming one

The Road Question.


Several persons have expressed them
selves as favoring the suggestion IN the
Register last week that the care OF the
turnpikes in ShepherdStown district De
placed in the hands OF the road supervi-
sors of the district who now are in charge
of the other public roads. One interested
farmer makes the proposal that the turn
pixies of the district be given over to
Supervisor ]. M. Hendricks, who would
be responsible for their care, and he could
in turn, if so disposed, put them in charge
of Messrs. Myers and Snyder in the sub
districts in which they work. Mr.. Hen
bricks has no superior in this county as
a road-maker, and it would be gratifying
10 tina people of this district to know that
he had full jurisdiction over the turnpikes
as well as the other roads.
Last year, we are informed, the turn
pike commissioner spent approximately
$4,000 on the county pixies. A fair di-
vision of this sum would have given
Shepherdstown district about s., 600.
which would. it is conceded, have kept
our pixies in firstrate condition. Not one
dollar was used in this district, however,
if we are correctly informed all the
money went out and none came back
This was not fair division, and the re-
suit is that our turnpikes have grown
worse for lack Of attention.
We hope that our County Court VIII
agree to allow the proper proportion Of
taxes paid by the people OF this district
TO be used in the district, and used by
the men who have proven by long ex-
perience that they know best how to
make and maintain good roads.

tons, and was being transported by Charles
Meats from beyondKeedysville totheErn-
est Mcdonald premises, near DarkeSville,
where o. o. Moser has big contract to
convert tract OF timber into lumuer.
Were the mammoth load crossed the
bridge at ShepherdStown il would have
been prohibited from going on the struct-
ure, but as the toll-keeper is on this side
il was brought over without his knowl-
edge until it was too late. II is believed
to have been very great risk the men
took in crossing the bridge with this great
weight, distributed as it was.
Robert Shipley, who has been town
sergeant of Shepherdstown for number
of years, has given place to J. R. Show,
who was elected sergeant Monday night
by the town council and was sworn in
Tuesday morning. Sergeant Shipley has
made one OF the best officers our town
has ever had, and under his surveillance
there has been very little disorder. Since
the liquor saloons have been abolished,
however, the police duties of the office
are practically nothing, and now about
the only thing required of the town ser
geant is to collect the taxes and keep an
eve open for minor matters. Mr.. Show
will doubtless make very efficient Of
fcer. MIR. Shipley expects to devote
his time to the management of the Jeffer-
son Lunch Room. He is going to install
an up-to-date plant for the manufacture
OF icecream for the wholesale and retail

SANDSTONE GETS
PUMPING PLANT

WORK ON PROPERTY

The new compressor for the Sand
storm-Kendall Consolidated mine has
arrived and is now being installed.
1t is of ample capacity to afford air
for all the machine drills that may be
required on the two levels now
opened, at depths of $50 and 500
feet, or in any other work that may
be undertaken. A pump was in
stalled lately on the 5O0-foot level
and is working satisfactorily and
readily handling all the water that
comes in on and above this level, the
flue having reached at times a vol
ume of 100000 gallons a day. The
new pump is tripjex, electrically
driven machine, with a capacity of
100000 gallons in "a hours.
The manager of the Sandstone

500-foot level are still following the

the pay-seam varying in width from
a few inches to over two fest. On
the 350-foot level the cross-cut is
in broken material that indicates the
near proximity of the ledge opened
on the 500-foot lsvel. Sandstorm-

most active issues on the exchanges
recently.
