The daily round trip schedule on
the Staunton mail route has been
abandoned and we are now getting
service on the winter schedule, the
mail leaving here and Staunton
each morning. AS the public under
stood it, there was permission given
the contractor to adopt this schedule
last fall-out of season-as a sort of
emergency or accommodation move
to help out a failing and crippled
service, but why it has cen resumed
in midsummer has not been explain
ed to the postmaster here or the pa
irons who are interested. The chief
OBJECTION to the present arrivals and
departures is that none of the coun-
ty mail arriving here at noon goes to
the railroad until the following
morning, making it's delivery practi-
cally a day later than under the
round trip schedule. Then, too, not
having the return trip to make, there
is lacking the spur or incentive to ar
rive strictly on time-which, we un-
derstand is about 1890 or 100
o'clock, hence the chance of missing
connection with the outgoing mails
to Back Creek and Jackson's River.

The U. D. G. Committee has receiv-
ed a letter from Ex-Governor Mon
tague in which he accepts the invi-
tation to be present on the 4th of
July, the date of the unVeiling, and
the presence Of this distinguished
Virginian will prove drawing card.
In fact, there is every reason to be-
believe that, on that occasion, all
roads will lead to Monterey, and the
biggest kind of crowd will be here to
honor the memory of the Confederate
dead and welcome home the young
veterans of the world war. Secretary
Daniels has declined with regrets
but it will prove a big day, all the
same, and Josephus will miss need
ed rest and the trip of his life.

ting except the proposed and long

BOMB EXPLOSION
IN NATIONAL CAPITOL

Washington, D. c., June 4.--The
home Of A. Mitchell Palmer, Attor-
ney General of the United States,
was wrecked shortly after II o'clock
Monday night by bomb presumably
about to be placed in the vestibule
by bolshevist-anarchist. Though
the entire front of the house was
blown in, the Attorney General, who
was sitting between the front win
dows on the second floor, was not
injured.
Anarchist Believed to have Tripped
The explosion is believed to have
occurred when the anarchist tripped
over some iron wickets beside the
walk leading from the sidewalk to
the door of the Palmer home, the fall
exploding the bomb before it could
be placed.
Fragments of the anarchists body
were literally driven into the back of
nearby trees, the woodwork of
nearby houses, scattered over the
pavements and smeared on the front
roofs of houses, while a large portion
of the mans torso was found hang
ing to the -cornice of a house on S
street, block from the spot where
the explosion occurred. A part of
the mans body was found on the top
Of an automobile standing nearly
l0a feet away.
No one but the man who was kill
ID while making tie attempt on the
:fe of the Attorney General was in
:ured, though residences in the block
nd farther away were badly Jared
| ~ the force of the defamation.
The police and secret service men
lave apparently established as a fact
that the man came fromPhiladelphia,
eaving there about 6 o'clock, a few
hours before.
Ten cities suffered from bomb ex-
plosions the same night. Govern
nent officials are busy looking up
The guilty ones.

The first day you start TO take this

In place of the impurities, the ar

good blood on the skin means that pim-

active and vigorous and you will have
no more trouble with indigestion, back
