Shepherdstown Register from Shepherdstown, West Virginia • 2

StyjjjuiKtoton I. L.SNYDER, Edllor aad Publisher, W. Va. Thubidat, June 2, 1904. Thekk one thing to be said of Mr.

Teter He's dying game. The more he is preesed to talk, the eilenter Judge Darker grcws. It is getting to be more and more probable that a political change is due in West Virginia. If there should be a etampede in the St. Louis convention for Mr.

Cleveland he wouldn't run. We expect Mr. Bryan will throw a fit, now that Mr. Clevelaud has come out for Judge Tarker Mr. Teter is carrying a pretty heavy load of supporters, if such a paradox is permissible.

reform in West Virginia is becoming more popular every week. Wise men will take note of this fact. Mr. Dawson seems to have driven the last nails into the gubernatorial clinched them on the other side The Republicans are making strenuous efforts to stave ofF the coming business depression until after election, but it will be a miracle if they succeed. A movement has been started in Massachusetts to cut the wages of the great army of cottou operatives 10 per cent.

Wages are last to go up and first to come down. It is said that the Standard Oil Company will spend in the development of its property in West Virginia. Wonder how much of it will go toward trying to defeat tax reform. Four years ago the Republicans effectually scared the people of the country by holding up the Democrats as hard times bugaboos. It looks now as if the Republicans will be on the defensive in the comiug campaign.

After the fight for tax reform shall have been won, there will doubtless be a great many persons who will want to help on the movement who in the past have been lukewarm or in opposition. Till UUiy nusij ujcii guard. As an evidence of hard times in Wall Street, it is stated that more than 2,500 clerks have been dismissed from various offices within the past two weeks. Wall Streeters, having fleeced the outsiders, must now do some shearing among themselves. It is now asserted that some of the government officials in the Indian Bureau have been making a fat thing out of their opportunities to manipulate business with the Indians.

This is an age of graft in government affairs, and all hands seem to be making the most of it. It has been a bitter fight for tax reform in West Virginia, but Governor White, who has given his best energies to carry out the principles he inaugurated, now has the satisfaction of seeing the issue before the people in such a way there can be no doubt -as to the final result. The people of the State owe him a great deal, and we believe his patriotic services are generally recognized. The friends of Mr. Teter, who were po shocked at the primary election in Kanawha county because it was so wickedly conducted by the Dawson people, held a mass meeting in Charleston last Saturday and determined to it i i send opposition delegates to tne otate convention.

It looks as if there will be two Republican conventions and two sets of candidates. If the Democrats can't win under such conditions we intend to go over to the Prohibitionists. President Roosevelt gets very conservative as the campaign approaches. In his speech at Gettysburg the other day he eulogized all the Union generals by name, including General McClellan, whom he entirely ignored in his address at Antietam last fall. He paid an equal tribute to those who wore the blue and those who wore the gray, and credited both with fighting for what they believed to be right.

The President's conservatism is in marked contrast to some of his past utterances. The Wheeling Intelligencer, the Republican organ in West Virginia, yesterday publiehed a statement purporting to be an accurate and conservative" estimate of the present strength of ana ieter, tne rival candidates for the Republican nomination for Governor. It credits Mr. Dawson with 377 votes and Mr. Teter with 162.

The Wood county vote is not included in these figures, its 32 delegates being contested. Sixteen counties are yet to select delegates. There can be uo question as to Mr. Dawson's heavy lead, and he is practically certain to be uomiuated, though the Teter organs continue to make absurd claims for their candidate. It is pretty sure that the Dawson people will have absolute control of the State convention on July 12th.

nv Er The death of Mayor McLane of Baltimore, by his own band, is a particularly sad and regrettable occurrence. The dispatches state there seems no apparent reason why he should have taken his own life, and why he propelled himselfinto eternity is a mystery. And yet, when all the circumstances are known, it may be not much of a mystery after all. The very papers that are now deploring his death and telling what a fine fellow he was perhaps are largely responsible for the tragedy. The great fire that laid waste the eutirebusiness section of Baltimore created a situation and caused a responsibility that may well have staggered any man.

The hopeful young mayor met the emergency bravely, and we have no doubt was as able, as honest and as desirous of doing Lis duty as a man could Yet he, with the other officials of the unfortunate city, has been the target of every sort of criticism because the work of planning the rebuilding of the place has been slow and because caution demanded deliberation. The city officials have been doing their best, of course, and yet because their plans aud methods have not been just what the people desired, they have been bitterly ciiticised and often brutally abused. It may be that ju6t this sort of persecution and misrepre sentation and unfair criticism has houuded the mayor to his death. He is said to have been a sensitive man and he may have taken this awful short cut to avoid the censure which he felt he did not deserve. Theie is due certain critical Baltimoreans a very bitter brand of remorse.

In the current numberof McClure's Magazine a well-written article gives a picturesue account of Dan Cunningbam, the well-known West Virginia detective. To give appropriate setting to the romantic details, West Virginia is pictured as the wild aud lawless region where violence and murder are common, every-day occurrences, and where the State law is inadeguate to curb the ferocity of the people. We believe we arc entirely right when we assert that life and property are far safer in West Virginia thau in New York, and that the Jaw is more strictly carried out in our rudest districts than in the average The Flag of Victory. The thirteen Stars and Stripes was triumphaut at Saratoga in 1777, also in the War of 1812, Mexican War. Civil War and Spanish War.

With such a record our Hair has been truly called "The Flag of Victory." On account of the unequalled record of cures made by the famous Hostetter's Stomach Bitters it has also been truly called "The leader of its class." In fact, it is so safe and reliable that prominent physicians all over the country never hesitate at all in recommending it to their most delicate patients, knowing from past experience that if a cure is possible the Bitters will affect it. A single bottle is all that is necessary to convince you of its value in cases of indigestion, dyspepsia. constipation, biliousness or malaria. Be sure to try it. Robert M.

McLane, mayor of the city of Baltimore, shot and killed himself last Monday afternoon home on Preston street. He stood in front of a large mirror and seut a bullet through his brain. No cause is given lor his act, as he had been in good spirits five minutes before, when be was talking with bis wife. Mr. McLane was a young man, only 37 years old, and was a member of a prominent family.

He bad been married only a couple of weeks, bis bride being a Mrs. Van Bibber, a charming and cultured woman. His life seemed full of promise and hopefulness, and bis sad death by bis own band is a most deplorable mystery. Thrown From a Wagon Mr. George K.

A bloody battle was fought last week at Kin Chow, one of the points of defense of Port Arthur. The Japanese drove the Russians from the heights they occupied and pushed them on toward Port Arthur. Both sides lost heavily.

The Japs are evidently determined to capture Tort Arthur, but it is so strougly fortified they will find it a difficult task. The Japanese have takeu possession of Dalny, which was abandoned by the Russians. It is a very important seanort and will he of much sprviee to the victors. Sued by His Doctor. "A doctor here has sued me for $12.50, which 1 claimed was excessive for a case of cholera morbus," says R.

White, of Coachella, Cnl. "At the trial he praised his medical skill and medicine. I asked him if it was not Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy he used, as I had good reason to believe it was, and he would not say under oath that it was not." No doctor could use a better remedy than this in a case of cholera morbus, it never fails. Sold at Reinhart's Pharmacy.

Litten, a brakeman on the Cumberland Valley Railroad, was crushed between two cars at Martinsburg on Tuesday, and was hurt so badly that he died 60on afterward. He was 29 years old and has been married but a few weeks. President L. E. Johnson, of the Norfolk and Western Railroad, has again announced that he is ready to begin at once the erection of a $100,000 depot in Roanoke if the city will keep cows off the ttreets.

It is reported that the Baltimore Ohio will very soon begin the cut-off between Hancock and Rockwood. The company has bought a large body of land at Hancock station for trackroom, paving C. W.

The Aglionby heirs have made partition of the tract of real estate known as the "Mount Pleasant Farm," located about four miles north of Charles Town. Miss Nettie Aglionby and Rev. Frank Aglionby, the latter being represented by Joseph Trapnell, as attorney, transferred that portion of the farm lying east of the county road running from the Leetown road to Shenandoah Junction, to their brother, John Aglionby. This tract contains 123 acres.

The remainder of the farm, on the west side of the Junction road, containing 247 acres, is assigned to Rev. Frauk Aglionby and Miss Nettie Aglionby. The land thus divided was an inheritance of the late Charles Aglionby in Charles Town's corporation election last Thursday was an unusually intprpstincr nnp. Thpre were three can didates for the Washington, who is the present mayor, George T. Light ami J.

L. The vote stood Light 181, Pentz 157 and Washington 31, and Mr. Light will therefore be the next mayor. J. W.

Russell, O. M. Phillips and R. D. Shugart were re-elected councilmen without opposition.

One of the features of the election was th 3 disappearance of Tax Collector J. A. R. Mathena. No person has a right to vote at the town election unless he has paid his taxes for the preceding year.

It is customary to herd up a certain class of voters on election day and pay their taxes, provided they vote "right." Last Thursday, when this ceremony was about to be performed, the tax collector and his books could not be found, and diligent search failed "to reveal either. The result was an honest election and a freedom from corruption that was very gratifying to good people. The Winchester News Item says that Malachi Pugh, of Gladesboro, has Lioken the record for a quick trip to the World's Fair. Mr. Pugh bought a 60-day ticket to St.

Louis, but after be got there spent just eight hours at the fair, and stayed in St. Louis less than a day. Yet he says he is satisfied that he got his money's worth. Leaving Winchester one morning he got in St. Louis the next morning at 11 o'clock.

He went at once to the World's Fair grounds and got into the crowd. Mr. Fugh says that the visitor must keep his pocketbook open handy, as it costs something every time one turns around. He says he was nearly exhausted from his long ride and gave a man $1 to show him the direction of a hotel. It cost him for a bed and $1 for a light lunch.

Mr. Fugh rode on street cars on six streets a distance of a mile and was compelleLto transfer five times in that distance, costing 10 cents each time he transferred, he says. At the grounds he declares he was compelled to pay 50 cents for entrance to every building, and that a man can spend almost any amount of money he may desire in an effort to see everything and then go away without taking in the whole show.

E. C. Vose, director of the U. S. Weather Bureau at Parkersburg, has issued a circular in which he states that the publication of so-called long range weather lorecasts by irresponsible meteorological quacks is positively injurious to agricultural, commercial ami other industrial interests.

The Register has never published the weather forecasts of prophets like Hicks and other guessers, except to ridicule them and show how fallacious they are. We agree with Mr. Vose that they tend to create unnecessary alarm by predicting disastrous eventa, anTthey discredit the honest work of really capable meteorologists. It is surprising that so many papers continue to publish the trash that isn't worth space even in a free almanac. Dr.

M. F. Compton, of the M. E.

It is poesible that Virginia will shortly be producing all of the arsenic used in the United States, says the Savannah News. Pittsburg capitalists have acquired title to 1,000 acres of land in Virginia believed to pr.ntc.in tho rintipst nrspnio dpnosit the world, and machiuery for its extraction is now being erected. The rock containing the arsenic is to be crushed and smelted at the mines, and the crystals refined at the same spot. The consumption of arsenic in the United States is estimated at 4,000 tons annually, of which all save about 300 tons is imported." Besides its medical arsenic is employed largely in the mixing of paints, the finishing of certain colored papers, etc. By the decisive yea and nay vote of 441 to 188, the Methodist Geneial Conference in Los Angeles, decided not to make any change in the church discipline in the matter of prohibited amusements.
