A Transaction In Wool.

A transaction in wool with Jail as the
final result is reported from Kearneys-
vile. On Monday young man named
Sam Hines, OF Keaneysville, approach
ed Joseph E. Byers, who purchases wool
for !. D. VanMetre, ard asked ifhe would
buy some wool. MIR. Byers, supposing
that Hines had a small quantity TO sell,
said he would do so. Hines then said
that he would have 10 haul ii at night.
This seemed suspicious TO MIR. Byers,
who knew that Hines possessed no ex-
tensive flocks and herds, but he thought
he would see the game through. Some
time late Monday night four bales OF wool
were hauled to Mr.. BYers's place, and
Hines also appeared and claimed the
money due, amounting 10 $3.50 TO $275.
He was held Off, and Mr.. Byers and Mr..
VanMetre began an investigation. twas
soon discovered that the warehouse OF
Samuel ]. Hodges at KearneysvilIe had
been entered and robbed OF four bales OF
wool, horse and wagon, which were
easily tracked, being used TO haul the
plumber away. The sacks of wool were
readily identified by Walter Wilt, man.
ager for Mr.. Hodges. Mr.. BYers had
heart-to-heart talk with Hines, who
claimed TO be innocent himself, but said
that Jim Wyndham and George Lockley.
two other Kearneysville fellows, had
taken the wool from Hodges warehouse.
Inasmuch as Hines had been active in the
transaction, his plea ofinnoceuce was not
given much consideration. and he was
arrested by Constable George Thompson
and taken before Magistrate V. q. Moore,
who committed him TO Jail in Charles
Town in default OF $500 bail. Warrants
were also sworn out for Wyndham and
Lockley.
The boldness ofthis robbery, the thieves
having stolen the stuff and tried 10 sell il
within a couple of miles OF the place from
which it was taken, caused good deal
OF comment, and the people Of the neigh
borhood think that an example should be
made OF the guilty parties. A bad gang
of young men have been stirring up
trouble in the Kearneysville neighbor-
hood for some time past. They have
been responsible for number OF rob-
berries. forgery and other crimes, and il
is time that stern punishment be admins
tered.

The WaterwOrks.

INC WdtSTWOfhSs
The waterworks proposition is awaiting
the action OF the town council. which will
consider the franchise at its regular meet
ing on August 9Th. II il anticipated that
the council will act iav0rably, and as
soon as il does so il is expected that
contract for installation will be LET. In
the meantime committee Of directors
has secured an option on site for the
tank or reservoir and for the location for
wells and pumping station. An option
has also been secured on a tank Of suffi-
cient capacity to meet the estimated pres
emf needs of the sy stem. There is still a
small amount OF preferred stock unsub-
scribed for, and it is hoped that this will
be taken by the people of our community,
as it is desired TO have as many persons
interested in the waterworks as possible.
Inquiry may be made of S. ]. Hodges,
treasurer of the company, w. p. Lick
lider, who is on the committee on sub
scriptions, or any of the directors.

Guarding Against InfantiIe Paralysis.

fHdthot O'S'
The Jefferson County Board OF Health
has taken precautions to prevent an out
break of infantile paralysis in this coun-
ty. AT meeting last Thursday IN order
was passed directing that policemen or
constables be at the various railroad Sta
tons in the county upon the arrival OF
passenger trains. Whenever any pasSen-
gers under the age OF sixteen years arrive
from cities or sections where any cases OF
infantile paralysis are known 10 exist,
they are TO be warned to leave the county
at once. II any such visitors become
domiciled in the county, il was ordered
that the houses where any such shall re-
side shall be p aced under quarantine.
II was feared that summer boarders from
injected cities or refugees from there
might desire 10 remain in the county
during the prevalence OF the coutagion.-

citation Formed.

citation Formed.
AT Kearneysville last Monday owners
Of nearly 400 cows formed what is known
as a cow-testing association. The pur-
pose Of the association, which is govern
ed by joint committee representing the
Jefferson county and the Berkeley coun-
ty farm bureaus. is to determine the num-
Der OF cows in the herds Of the members
of the association that are paying for their
keep and in addition a profit. Accurate
records of each cows performance is
kept, and once each month the official
tester visits each herd and makes Bah
cock test OF the milk, together with an
estimate OF the feed consumed. from which
data the paying cows are determined.
Harry Whiting is president Of the asso-
citation and c. S. Billmyer is secretary
treasurer. These officers are empowered
to employ college man to act as tester,
and they are now at work looking up the
right man. II is expected that the defin-
lite work will start on August lst.
This is good move, and while SUI
iicient herds are already in the associa-
ton to insure the success OF the move
ment, there is opportunity for others 10
become affiliated by making application
10 any Of the members of the joint COM
mittee. The joint committee is made up
of c. D. Wysong, J u. Muldoon, w. T..
Mcdonald, Edward ConklYn and c. S.

ty farm bureau, and |. d. VanMete, H.

of oil, containing larger percentage OF
asphaltum than ever before, and between
Church and Princess streets fine crushed
stone has been placed on the oil. BY
this method OF treatment the street is not
closed to traffic. and il looks as if the
roadbed will be greatly improved, as the
oil and crushed stone together form a
binder that sheds water and seems to be
but slightly affected by travel. tits to be
regretted that every street in town could
not be thus improved, for the benefit is
certainly great.
What a delightful place the Hilltop
House at Harper's Ferry is these summer
days and evenings. The editor with a
party of friends spent the evening there a
few days ago and found it most pleasant.
On the high hill far above the Potomac
river, with the noble mountains all around
and the view soul-satisiying, with cool
breezes and fragrant atmosphere. il is
altogether charming. No more beautiful
site for hotel could be found, and the
handsome new building has been well
arranged for the comfort and pleasure Of
the guests and is a model OF its kind.
And how much We enjoyed the delicious
supper of wholesome country food well
cooked and tastefully served in such
agreeable surroundings The Hilltop
House is truly delightful place, and
though it is very popular and favorite
resort Of Automobiles and summer tour
lists, the wonder is that it is not always
crowded with those who love good
things. It's. Lovett, its popular and ex-
perienced proprietor. leaves nothing un-
done for the comfort of his guests.

CURLEY RETAINS THE
OPTION ON BATTLE
Arrangements for Big Heavyweight
Fight Are Far From
Being Completed.

New York, Feb. Jack Curley's op-
ton on the services of Jess Willard for a
fight with Frank Moran expired today.
Immediately it was expected that Tex
Rickard, Sam McCracken ct al would
get busy and frame up arrangements for
the big smear.
Instead, Curley announced that he had
obtained another option for two weeks
and that he could go ahead obtaining
them indefinitely. This puts matters
where they were before. and Curley de-
clares he is going to hang on until some
thing breaks or Frank Moran and his
manager see the light and climb aboard
the band wagon. Meanwhile they con-
ttnue to declare undying fealty to Tex
Rickard.
Curley also took occasion today to re-
ply to the charges of Rickard that he
had double-crossed them by going to
Kansas City as their envoy to sign Will
lard and then signing him for himself.
Curley's reply is textually as follows:
IF I was their ambassador how about
transportation, accomm odations and
board for one large gent from this city
to Chicago. Denver. Kansas City and va
rious points Vest"
At a late hour tonight no reply had
been received.
