few nights ago. Some one is liable to
be blown up.

jail.
Thomas and Frye had a hearing or
Tuesday before Justice Hartman, in Ha-
gerstown. who held them each in 500
bail to answer at the next term of the cir
cult court. The bail was furnished and
they were released.
There has been an unusual amount oil
stealing in the Sharpsburg neighborhood
the past few months, and chickens, wheat,
corn and other things have been disap-
pearing at an exasperating rate. 1t is
now hoped that the depredations will
cease.
Last Sunday night party OF mighty
low thieves, travelling in an automobile
made raid on church-going folks in
Leetown. While the people were at
tending service there some men in car
passed through the village and stole every
lap robe and horse blanket that they
could find and then passed on into the
darkness. Some valuable robes were
stolen, and the victims would give good
deal to know who the thieves are.
These same robbers, or others like
them, stole lot of robes and blankets
from vehicles in Shepherdstown. Alonzo
Hays lost new eight-dollar robe, and
Milton Skinner, Charles E. Jones. Daniel
Folk and others also lost robes or blankets.
No clue has been found TO the thief who
stole bag of mail at Kearneysville on
the evening of November 18th. The
riiled bag was found in the stone quanies
nearby, having been cut open and the
valuables il contained stolen. inspectors
from the Postoffice Department have
been at work on the case, but so far they
have been unable to get any lines upon
the thief.
Last Monday night after the family OF
George F. Turner had retired for the night
they were awakened by sounds indicating
that some one was in the house who had
no right to be there. Mr.. Turner opened
his chamber door to make an investiga-
ton, and discovered strange man COM
ing up the stairway. He demanded OF
the intruder what he was after. "Do you
mean me?" asked the man in a surprised
tone. When Mr.. Turner assured him
that he did and told him to get out in a
hurry, the stranger turned about, with
some difficulty, and felt his way down
stairs and on out of the house. Mr..
Turner and his son-in-law, Mr.. Rush,
then investigated the peculiar affair. The
man was then in charge OF his brother,
who lives north OF town. 1t appears that
he was from Virginia, and had come here
10 help his brother with the butchering.
He had made detour to Sharpsburg,
where he fingered too long at DeLauney's,
and when he got back to Shepherdstown
he couldn't tell a brick mansion from a
straw stack. Explanations were made
by the brother and he was allowed TO 60
on his way. He had come down through
Mr.. Turner's garden to the kitchen door,
which by some chance had been unlocked
and was on his way up stairs to 90 to
bed when he was halted. He left a quart
bottle OF Roxbury rye on the table in the
kitchen-which comes in very handy
just now, when mince pies are in season.
Thieves stole 100 pounds OF dynamite

The inflrmities Of age are especially
manifest in a tendency to constipation,
and call for treatment that will afford
relief in an easy, natural manner. The
rapid action Of cathartic remedies and
purgatiyes that shock the system
should be avoided, more especially as
the relief they offer is only temporary
and is usually more than offset by dis
turbance to the vital organs caused by
their violent action.
Nearly thirty years ago DR.. W. B.

compound Of simple laxative herbs
that has since become the standard
household remedy in thousands OF
homes. 1t acts easily and gently, yet
with positive effect, without gripping
