There is more Catarrh in this section
OF the country than all other diseases put
together, and for years it was supposed
10 be incuraole. Doctors prescribed loca
remedies, and by constantly falling to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Catarrh is local disease,
greatly influenced by constitutional con-
ditions and therefore requires constitu-
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Medi-
cine, manufactured by F. J. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is a constitutional
remedy, is taken internally and acts thru
the Blood on the Mucous Surfaces OF the
System. One Hundred Dollars reward
is offered for any case that Halls Catarrh
Medicine fails to cure. Send for circulars
and testimonials.

Struck Waterl

StruCk WaterI
Tuesday morning the big steel bit that
had chewed its way through 1856 feet OF
solid limestone rock in an effort to find
a stream of water for our new system OF
waterworks finally struckan eighteen-inch
crevice down in the bowels of the earth
and got fresh water. Just how strong the
stream is has not been determined, for
the well is filled with surface water. A
casing will be put down and sealed so
that no surface water can find its way into
the hole, the well will be pumped out,
and then we will know the volume OF
water. Everybody hopes that there will
be plenty OF it-and coming from that
depth il must certainly be pure.
The trench diggers have gotten almost
as far as Princess street with the ditch
for the main, and the pipe is not far behind
them. Almost everybody along German
street is having water connections made.
The company is DESTROYS that all who IN
tend TO take water will notify nose IN
charge, so that connections may be made
now, while il can be done quickly and
economically and without tearing up the
street more than necessary. Everybody
will want the water sooner or later-whY
not encourage the enterprise by arranging
for il now?
With water going into practically all OF
the homes, the question of sewerage is
looming up large. This is an absolute
necessity if health and cleanliness are to
be preserved, and our town officials
ought to be making ready for it. In all
likelihood authority for constructing
sewers, and paying for them, will have
to be secured from the Legislature, and
this authority should be secured at the
regular session of the Legislature which
convenes next January.

Fatal Automobile Accident.

A dreadful accident occurred last We'd
nesday morning at Paeonian Springs, Va,
resulting in the death OF S. w. George, a
prominent farmer and land owner OF
Loudoun county, and Sydnor H. Bennett,
business man OF Brunswick, Md, and
the serious injury OF Mrs. Bennett and
Miss Dora George. The party were
travelling in an automobile and were re-
turning from trip to Leesburg, on their
way to LovettSville and Brunswick. AS
the weather was very cold the curtains
were tightly closed, and this WIS one OF
the direct causes of the tragedy. Mr.
Bennett was driving, and as the auto
mobile was crossing the tracks OF the
Washington and Old Dominion Railroad
at Paeonian Springs fast express train
struck il squarely in the center. The
machine was smashed and turned over
upon The occupants. Mr.. George was
instantly killed, Mr.. Bennett was rendered
unconscious from a fractured skull and
internal injuries, Mrs. Bennett was badly
hurt about the head and body, and Miss
George escaped with several cuts and
bruises. The body of Mr.. George was
removed 10 his home and Mr.. and Mrs.
Bennett and Miss George were taken to
Leesburg Hospital. In addition TO being
cut and bruised, Miss George suffered
from shock and at times became hysterical.
Mr.. Bennett never recovered conscious
ness, and died the next day.
Mr.. George, who lost his life in the
accident, was brother OF Mrs. o. E.
RuSe, OF the Dufiields neigFborhood, and
had friends in Shepherdstown and Jef-
ierson county, where he occasionally
visited. He was highly regarded, and
his death has caused great regret.

Machinists Demand g.
Hour Day and No Re-
ductiOn In Wages
1,4OO EMPLOYEES
LAY DOWN TOOLS
Pickets Are Employed,
But No, Violence Is
Reported

Detroit manufacturers are facing q
serious shortage Of machinists In
their shops.
In addition 10 the airt ady widely
felt scarcity of skilled laborers
strikes during the past week, which
resulted In the walking out Of l,400
machinists, tying up a number ot
plants and seriously crippling 9th
ers, have left many employers in a
quardary. with thousands OF orders
for mechanical products on their
hnnds and no workmsn 10 man their
machines.
The "eight- -hour-day." at the same
wages now paid for the day OF nine
or ten hours. is the slogan of the
strikers. The movement is thought
to have had it's origin in the organ
izing activities of the Machinists'
union recently inaugurated among
the automobile workers.
These men, who formerly worked
at wages fixed indiscrininately by
the foremen at the tie OF their EN-
ploycnt, have joined with enthu-
slasm in the movement started by
the machinists. organizers and now
machinists In nearly every automo-
bile plant OF any importance In the
city are organized and prepared to
strike In unison for the right Ia
work eight hours at a standard scale
of wages. II H. not feared. however,
that the automobile workers will
have TO. resort to any stringent meth
odr, as most factories already are
operating under conditions favorable
to the men and organizing OF the
machinists I'm these shops is said
to be merely a protective measure.
Since n week ago Monday, strikes
have been taking place In some OF
the largest factories In town. The
last OF these 10 go out were the ma.
chinists In the plant OF the Hayes
Manufacturing Co. who struck Mon
day noon. At their factory 40 men
went out. In addition 10 these. 90
cn .penters, employed by the same
firm, struck last Friday.
In the petroit Gear and Machine

rected them 10 report to Gen. Fun

RY CARL D. GROAT

(StdT Correspondent United FTess. }
WASHINGTON. May S.--Highly
important Developments In the Mex
lean situation were expected today
following the receipt Of long code
message from Gems. Scott and Fun
ston early today. The Importance
VAS indicated by the fact that Act
ing Chiefof.Stan Bliss remained at
the war department until a. IN. to
receive It's contents.
No inkling of Its contents was
forthcoming early today, although
one army man declared II was very
important"
The message was regarded a. es-
pecially significant In view of border
reports that General Obregon had
served notice on Scott and Funston
that the further presence of the
villa pursuers in Mexico would mean
m attack on them by Carranza
troops.
The message for which General
Bliss had waited was In confidential
code and intended only for the sec
retary OF war or the acting chief of
stif.
Earlier In the night. Secretary OF
War Baker had conferred with
President Wilson at the White
House. and II vas said transmitted
General Funston's recommendations
for new disposition of forces along
the border to cope with the situation
arising from raids In the Big Bend
country.
The general feeling here today was
that Mexican AFFAIRS had taken a
sudden unexpected turn for the
worse.
