There was a very sudden rise in the Potomac river last Friday, caused by a tremendous rain above Cumberland, and the stream got beyond its banks in a hurry.

U.S. Martin has had a water -wheel installed and a concrete dam built across property at the foot of Princess street, the river, and the water power developed will, it is said, be used to pump water into the tank of the Norfolk WesRailway at this place from which the locomotives are supplied. The property referred to is the old saw mill' where for generations the farmers of this neighborhood brought their logs to be sawed into lumber, fencing plank, etc.

The saw was carried off by the great flood just twenty years ago and was never rebuilt growing scarcity of timber having caused this industry to dwindle very materially. Mr. Martin is having a good of work done at the place, and it is reported that he has other enterprises under consideration. In renewing his subscription for another year, N. S.

Ewing, of Lanark, formerly of this vicinity, writes as follows: "The old Register is better than a letter from home, for it gives us all the news from the county. I want to congratulate good people of Shepherdstown for their excellent work in getting rid of the saloons. We put them out of this little town where I live four years ago, and not think we will ever have them again. All business men say that business better and they do not have half so much money on their books as they did when we had saloons. The bankers say they now have money in their banks from men who never had an account before, and they are proud of it.

I hope will keep the saloons out of Shepherdstown forever." Hugh Barnes, son of Prof. J. Walter Barnes, of Fairmont, W. made the highest grades during the term just completed at the West Virginia University that any student has ever made in the history of that institution. Mr.

Johnson, is found by county fficials to be even more stringent than was I anticipated. For a retail liquor or beer license the applicant must file his petition with the county clerk at least thirty days before the session of the court at which the same may be heard, and shall at the same time pay said clerk ten dollars for expenses connected The County Court meets on Monday, June 7, and applications must be filed not later than the first Monday in May.

Elizabeth Keplinger, wife of Mr. J. Fred Keplinger, which occurred at her home a mile west of Shepherdstown. Her death was very unexpected. She had not been well the past week, having had a slight attack of the grip, but she was not regarded as seriously ill.

She seemed worse yesterday evening and a physician was sent for. the night she had an attack, and comof a severe pain in the head, but plained this passed away. Early this morning her husband called to her, and, receiving no response, was shocked to discover that she was dead: She had quietly without a struggle or a sound. passed away Mrs. Keplinger was one of the most highly esteemed women in our community-a kind-hearted Christian lady, a consistent member of the Southern Methodist Church, lovable in the home and useful in the church.

She was a daughter of the late Hugh McKee, and was a native of Berkeley county. Her age was 59 years. Besides her husband, she is survived by the following brothers and sisters: Mayberry, Roush, Edward, William and Charles McKee, Mrs. James Randal; and Mrs. S.

F. Lemen. The funeral service will be held Saturday morning at 10.30 o'clock in the Southern Methodist Church in Shepherdstown, the leaving the house at 10 o'clock. Interment in Elmwood Cemetery. Mr.

John Mong Small, a lifelong resident of Berkeley county and a well-known farmer and dairman, died last Saturday night at the King's Daughters Hospital in Martinsburg, after an illness of several months, aged 69 years. The deceased was a Confederate veteran, having enlisted at the outbreak of the Civil War in Company Second Virginia Regiment. He is survived by two sons, also three brothers and four sisters. Dudley Lee Miller, the wealthiest land owner of Frederick county, died late last week at Stephens City, of Bright's disease, aged 73 years. He owned several thousand acres divided into five farms.

He served in the Confederate army during the Civil War. He leaves a wife, Mrs. Sadie L. Miller, and two daughters, Misses Louise and Cecelia Miller. George S.

Ramer, a native of Martinsburg and a Confederate veteran, died on April 5th at his home in Modoc county, Calitornia, aged 63 years. He enlisted in the Confederate army when he was but sixteen years of age, and served with gallantry in Company First Virginia Cavalry. He has lived in California for the past 36 years. Mr. Joseph A.

Miss Della Minghini, a lifelong resident of Berkeley county, died yesterday in Martinsburg, aged 70 years. Deal Gently.

At a recent meeting of the town council the Norfolk Western Railway asked for permission to connect its present switch at the depot with the switch at Lemen's elevator, and the request was referred to a committee, which will report at the next meeting of the council. We hope that the committee and the council may show a spirit of generosity and accommodation that may prove agreeable to the railroad people and at the same time protect the interests of the town. It is said that the railroad officials feel a bit sore at the refusal of the late council to grant certain priveleges that were asked, and it is further stated that if there is a spirit of antogonism on the part of our town authorities we are in danger of losing our promised new station, or, at least, the company will not erect the I handsome and convenient structure that has been planned. The people of our community are, we believe, very anxious to have that fine, new station, and we are sure that they will endorse such action on the part of our council as will bring about a more friendly feeling between the town and the railroad company. Let us give and take in this matter.

Convocation at Leetown. The Eastern Convocation of the Episcopal Diocese of West Virginia will be held in St. Bartholomew's Church, Leetown, Rev. A. J.

G. A. Gibbons; treasurer, Rev. J. S.

Alfriend. For The Firemen's Building. There seems to be every prospect that the proposed new building to be erected by the Shepherdstown Fire Department will be a go, and, what is still better, that the ancient building in the middle of King street will be removed. At a meeting of the trustees of Caledonia Lodge of Odd Fellows and a committee in charge of the firemen's building, an understanding was reached by which the Odd Fellows agree to leave their old location and take the third story of the proposed new structure, paying one-third of the cost of the building, and thus providing themselves with a creditable and permanent home. The firemen have about $1,500 in the treasury, and they will seek to add $1,000 to this by public subscriptions, which, with the amount to be paid by the Odd Fellows, and funds to secured in other ways, will justify them in going ahead with the building.

Our people will be solicited for subscriptions, and it is hoped that encouraging amounts will be donated. The enterprise will be of great public benefit. Shepherd College Commencement. The programme for the commencement exercises of Shepherd College State Normal School has been fixed as follows: Wednesday evening, June 9-Recital of the department of elocution. Thursday evening, June 10-Recital of the department of music.

Friday evening, June 11-Annual intersociety contest. Saturday morning, June 12-Field day exercises. Saturday evening, June 12-Address to the literary societies by Maxwell Adams, A. Ph. University of Nevada.

We have added about a dozen names to our subscription list the past week, several of the new subscribers being handed us by friends who are appreciative friends of the Register. We know of a number who are interesting themselves in our efforts to reach the 2,000 mark, and we think we will "get there" in due season. A year is mighty reasonable for a paper the Register. It's cheap dollara enough for every family to have its own copy, instead of borrowing; to have it mailed direct from this office to an absent friend or relative, instead of wrapping your own soiled copy and mailing it; to send a year's subscription as a present to some one that you know will enjoy it. We want the Register to go into every family in the community and the county and wherever there is interest in Shepherdstown affairs or West Virginia news.

Sample copies will be sent to anybody free. Send us your name-we will do the rest. Indigestion Ends. You can eat anything your stomach craves without fear a case of Indigestion or Dyspepsia, or that your food will ferment or sour on your stomach, if you will occasionally take a little Diapepsin after eating. Your meals will taste good, and anything you eat will be digested; nothing can ferment or turn into acid or poison or stomach gas, which causes Belching, Dizziness, a feeling of fullness after eating, Nausea, Indigestion (like a lump of lead in stomach), Billiousness, Heartburn, Waterbrash, Pain in stomach and intestines or other symptoms.

Headaches from the stomach are absolutely unknown where this effective remedy is used. Diapepsin really does all the work of a healthy stomach. It digests your meals when your stomach can't. Each triangule will digest all the food you can eat and leave nothing to ferment or sour. Get a large 50-cent case of Pape's Diapepsin from your druggist and start taking today and by tomorrow you will actually brag about your healthy, strong Stomach, for you then can eat anything and everything you want without the slightest discomfort or misery, and every particle of impurity and Gas that is in your stomach and intestines is going to be carried away without the use of laxatives or any other assistance.

The Best Bush And Pole Beans. The best main crop bunch bean is Burpee's New Stringless Green Pod; this bean has become so popular and well known that few persons plant any other kind. For a crop to produce beans well up into fall, the Refugee or 1,000 to 1 is highly recommended. It is very prolific, fleshy, brittle and mild in flavor. Henderson's Early Leviathan is the best of all early limas on account of its extreme earliness and the large bean it besides being a sure cropper.

Burpee's King of the Garden as a main crop lima has no equal, produces large pods containing five to six very large beans of excellent quality and easily shelled. Burpee's Bush Lima are becoming very popular amongst those who prefer the dwarf varieties. Growing but twenty inches in height, they do not require any poles, are very prolfic and produce large beans of fine flavor. Of all the corn beans, the Kentucky Wonder or "Old Homestead," Lazy Wife and Golden Carmine or Wren's Egg are the most popular and well known. We have all of these in Burpee's choicest strains, and in addition have Burger's Green-Pod Stringless, which is designed to become as popular as Burpee's Stringless Green-Pod Bunch Bean.

The pods are borne in clustars, average six to eight inches in length, are uniformly straight, of a rich green color, and so meaty as to be really saddle-backed; the dry beans are of a pearly whiteness.

Schaeffer, who departed this life April 12, 1909, we feel a profound loss, but in her simple and beautiful life we feel that we shall ever have a source of undying inspiration. Feeling the need of a Savior, she sought and found Him at an early age and was received into the church of her choice. For nearly fifty years she adored and worshiped her Savior, rejoicing in his blessings and bearing with humility and patience whatever cross was hers to bear. Humility and patience were indeed divine attributes vouchsafed to her by her Savior in preparation for a life that was not to be all sunshine. The Bible was her constant companion, its glorious truths were always a source of revelation to her, comforting her in hours of trouble and filling her soul with peace and hope even to the last.

Here was a life untouched by the turmoils of the world, here were hands that contributed gladly to the comfort and happiness of all in need, here was a heart that knew only love, and lips undefiled by slander. We shall miss her greatly, but shall always cherish in our hearts the inspiration to be drawn from her beautiful life. By One of Her Nephews. Resolutions of Respect.
