Easy Money.

The Advocate says that sprightly
youth with an ambition to become a
high-class profiteer blew into Charles
Town few days ago and with surpris-
ing speed blew out again, though not
without leaving his mark in a way
to be remembered by several of the
towns business men for some time to
come. Eddie Luke was the name he
used very profitably during his stay
there, though whether that was his
real name may be open to question.
He is known to have transacted bust
ness with at least two Charles Town
merchants. To D. w. Ramey, the fur
niture dealer, he offered check for
$40, with the name of ]. L. Luke sign
ed to it as maker, in payment for a
chair, the price of which was $500.
Eddie took the Sill, balance due him
on the check, and asked Mr.. Ramey to
send the chair to the home Of
DR.. J. L. Luke. When the chair was
delivered DR.. Luke assured Mr.. Ramey
that he had given no such check, nor
did he know anything about the enter
prising young man who donated the
chair eddie" next exhibited an in
terest in C. w. Taylor. The trans
action between him and Mr.. Taylor
was likewise devoid and Mr.. Taylor
was likewise devoid Of frills. The
stranger bought a picture for small
sum and rendered in payment a check
for SIS, made and endorsed precisely
like the one presented to Mr.. Ramey.
The difference between the price OF the
picture and the face value of the check
was paid over by Mr.. Taylor. Then it
was moving time for Eddie. He has
not been seen since.
The same fellow swindled dealers
in Martinsburg, Williamsport, Han
cock, Boonsboro and other nearby
towns. He used similar schemes in
each case. representing himself as a
relative of prominent residents of the
community and purchasing goods in
their name. He has come to grief,
however, for after his swindles at
Hancock he boarded a boat for Cum
berland and was arrested in the lat

Road Work DELAYED.

Although the plans and SURVEYS for
the proposed road improvement be-
tween Charles Town and Harper's
Ferry have been in the hands of thu
State Highway Commission for three
or four weeks, says the Advocate,
there is no visible evidence Of any
thing being accomplished in the mat
ter of improving that thoroughfare
No word has come from c. P. Fortney,
chairman Of the commission, in regard
to asking for bids for doing the work:
He probably wants an extension OF
time to consider the merits of the two
proposed routes through the towns OF
Harper's Ferry and Bolivar.
More speed is shown by Edward st.
Clair Smith, the division engineer, in
giving an opinion on the controversy
over the two routes. Several days
ago Engineer Smith wrote to the Coun-
ty Court, announcing his approval oil
the route through Bolivar and Har-
per's Ferry over the Washington and
High streets survey, provided the two
towns shall pay all damages to prop
erty if any has to be taken to widen
the road to the lawful width, and pro-
vide for maintaining the road after

WORK THAT TELLS
Plenty of 1t Has Been Done Right Here
In Shepherdstown.

To thoroughly know the virtues Of a
medicine you must investigate its work.
Doan's Kidney Pills stand this test, and
plenty of proof exists right here in
Shepherdstown. People who testified
years ago to relief from backache, kid
ney and urinary disorders, now give
confirmed testimony-declare the re-
suits have lasted. How can any
Shepherdstown sufferer longer doubt
the evidence?
Mrs. BENZ. Hebb, E. German ST.,

nervous spells, but my chief trouble
was from my back. | had dull, drag

were the cause of the complaint. A

gave me complete relief, restoring my

Shepherd College Notes.

The State Board of Education has
named Prof. Kenamond as assistant
president of Shepherd College. Prof.
Kenamond has for some years been
one of the most efficient members of
the faculty of this institution, and his
promotion is deserved one. The
board has filled the vacancy caused by
the resignation of Miss Louise Smith,
having appointed Miss Jessie Trotter,
of Morgantown, as teacher Of Latin and
English. Miss Trotter's appointment is
most gratifying one, as she is a
teacher of ability and experience.
She is sister of DR.. Frank B. Trotter,
president of the West Virginia Uni
versity, and Russell Trotter, formerly
State Superintendent of Schools. She
comes of family of teachers of wide
reputation in this State and our peo-
pie will be delighted to haze her AT
Shepherd College. She arrived yester-
day and will take up the work at once.
Miss Trotter has been teaching in the
Morgantown High School, but gives
I'D that work to come to Shepherd Col

Interesting Dairy Statistics.

Thirty-hve or more members of tn,
Eastern Panhandle Cow Testing AS
ISOLATION, along with DR.. H. o. Hen
derson, dairy specialist from the
West Virginia University, and DR.. E
F. Burton, of the Dairy Division oil
the Department Of Agriculture, Wash
ington, besides County Farm Agent
Paul Teal, OF Berkeley county, and G
A. Hughes, Jefferson county's farm
demonstration, were guests of Mr.. and
Mrs. Edgar D. Conklyn at Wheatland
recently. Mr.. Conklyn is president OF
the association.
The first feature Of the program was
business meeting Of the association.
Prices of dairy products and dairy
feeds were discussed. II was agreed
as a basis on which to calculate the
cost of producing milk that the follow
ing prices Of homegrown feeds should
be allowed for the next six months:
Silage, $500 a ton; fodder, $1,000 a
ton, and alfalfa, $50 ton.
In the talks that followed the bust
ness meetings the dairymen were told
some gratifying facts. DR.. Burton,
for instance, gave them the informa-
ton that the Eastern Panhandle herds
had the highest average production,
with one exception, Of all the testing
associations east of Ohio. The one
association with better record than
the local organization is in New Jer-
sey. A close second to the Eastern
Panhandle Association is located in
Vermont.
Most impressive figures were pre-
scented by Dr. Henderson in statistics
taken from the records of the Eastern
Panhandle Association for the year
ending August 1. These showed the
importance of breeding as well as feed
ing in the dairy industry.
An accurate record Of the cost OF
feed and the returns from the milk
yields of 1874 cows were kept through
out the year. The average production
Of butterfat for the period was 1892
pounds, the best herd making an aver
age of BIAS pounds, while the lowest
was 1894 pounds. The cost Of feed
varied widely. Ii varied from $50 to
sol head. The profit on each cow
above the cost of her feed likewise
varied, running from S82.53 to S294.51.
The average profit for each COW in
the association was Sl28.20. The feed
cost to produce each pound of butter
fat was 26H cents. Ten of the best
milk producers in the association
showed profit of S224.51 each over
the cost of their feed. Ten of the
poorest milk producers made a profit
of S63.74 each for their owners above
fact disclosed by the report is that the
poorest mixers got the least quantity OF
feed. Their feed cost an average OF
S59.O7 while the feed for the ten best
was S87.55 each. OF the ten
best mixers in the association three
are owned by President Conklyn;
Mcdonald Brothers; one by |. D. Van
Meter; one by ]. G. Debaugh; and
one bv 7. II. Staley.

More About the Abandoned Baby.

The Register last week had an in
tertsing story concerning little baby
that was found in a basket hanging
to bush near Clearspring, Nd, with
a note that said the child and its mo-
Their had been put out OF an automobile
by man from Detroit. Investigation
OF the case led to the arrest OF Leo
Burke, of Williamsport, who is alleged
to be the father Of the child, while
Miss Mary Mills admitted that she was
its mother. The baby was intention.
ally left near the home Of Samuel
McCarty, with the expectation that his
wife. who is a sister Of Miss Mills,
would find the child and care for IT.
The mother later took charge OF the
baby. and it is reported that wedding
bells will probably end the trouble.
