Fortunately he escaped serious injury. A party of straw-riders from Martinsburg made an unearthly racket in Shepherdstown last night.

They landed here about 11 o'clock, screaming and yelling at the top of their voices, and after staying here an hour or two went away with a renewal of their noise. Such a nuisance would probably not be tolerated in it be suffered in Shepherdstown A very unusual proceeding was noted here this week, when C. N. Whiting, proprietor of Billmyer's Mill, west of this place, came to town and bought a quantity of wheat from W. N.

Lenten Son's elevator, paying $1.50 for it. The supply of wheat that Mr. Whiting had in stock ran short, and there was nothing else to do but buy from the elevator in order that his trade might be taken care of.

Harvest time is here. The hot sunshine of the past few days has ripened the wheat rapidly, and some of the farmers of this neighborhood began cutting the grain on Tuesday. Others went into it yesterday, and today the sound of binders is heard in every direction.

As a rule, the wheat is standing up well, and the harvest will be gathered without difficulty. There will be a large crop in this county. In some sections there seems to be quite a good deal of rust and also some scab, especially in low places, but the yield promises to be considerably above the average. PERSONAL NOTES. Mr.

Baseball News. Shcpherdstown journeyed fo Brunswick last Friday and gave that team a good trouncing. When Brunswick was last here they won from us in a ten-inning contest by a score of one to nothing. Last Friday we turned the tables on them and took the game by a score of three to nothing. our runs being made by Andrews, Muldoon and Unseld, and every one of them was earned.

Shepherdstown surely played a mighty good game. Dobbins pitched for us and didn't allow a single hit, while Kearns behind the bat was always there. The umpires were Stultz and Moler. This afternoon the rubber will be played at Shepherdstown between these two teams. The baseball enthusiasts were greatly disappointed last Thursday at not being able to have a game with a team from the vruincr cnldiprt; of the war College who were encamped at Sharpsburg.

The soldiers came over about forty strong, but just as they landed in.town the rain began to fall, and all the balance of the day there were showers that prevented any prospect of a game. A powerful game of baseball was played last Saturday north of town between the Terrapin Neck and Greensburg teams, the former winning by a score of 21 to 7. Alder and Maddcx were the battery for Terrapin Neck and Turner and Kcndrick for Greensburg. It is said that the result might have been different had not every thing been so wet. Our team will go to Myersville, on Saturday.

Who Was She A despatch from Rockville, a fewdays ago, tells the following story On December 14 a young girl, apparently not more than 17 years of ago, ho gave her name as Elizabeth Smith and her home as at Martinsburg, W. called at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Scott Bradley, at Bethesda, Montgonery county. She carried a baby, about 7 mo.iths old, which she said washer own.

Loth were handsomely dressed. The young woman tarried at the Bradley home only a few hours, but arranged with the Bradleys to care for the infant until a certain time, when she would return for it. No explanation was asked or given. The strange woman failed to return for the child at the time agreed upon, so Mr. Bradley began to use the mails in an effect to locate her.

It was found that no such person as she represented herself to be was known in Martinsburg, and every other effort to find the baby's mother was without result, so the little one was allowed to remain at the Bradley home. The Bradleys have no children of their own and they soon realized that it would be hard to part with the little one, so Monday they instituted proceedings for the adoption of the infant, Attorney John A. uarreu appearing ror mem. i ne tnuu will be named Blanche Bradley. The Price of Wheat.

A criterion of what the crop of wheat now being harvested in Maryland and Virginia will sell for in this was fixed yesterday in Baltimore, says the Sun. The receipts at the Chamber of Commerce were 1,208 bushels. Most of it came from the tidewater counties of Virginia, which is usually the first section to send new wheat to Baltimore. One small lot came from Dorchester county, Maryland. All the offerings sold by sample; that is, none of it as graded or was accepted tc grade any of the recognized standards established by grain dealers.

The best lots of the wheat sold at $1.10 a bushel. This was in fair condition, except that it was damp, showing plainly that it had been 1 thrashed before the grain could harden in the husk. From this figure the lots sold dow to $1 a bushel, the lowest price being paid for poor, shriveled and mixed stock. These prices would seem to establish the fact that wheat will not 'sell for less than 1 a bushel this year. All the dealers do not agree to this, but most of them hold this view.

When the stock is dry and in good condition otherwise, the premium will be considerably above this level. A local option election will be held in Staunton, on July 22d. Bound for New York. Our much-traveled friend, James Law rence McChan, left Monday night fc New York, and we understand is surfeiting himself with the sights of thj great city and at the same time interestin the people there who follow up his ad ventures, though we have not yet re ceived the New York papers in which hi doings will be fully described. Lawrenc has been employed for some months witl the bridge workers here, and when the; completed the job at this place they wer unwilling to take up another contract un less he promised to go with them, so fas cinated were they by his never-tiresorw stories and adventures.

It is that the company pays him two dollar and a-half a day to carry water and the men in good humor. There are some persons who expres the opinion that Lawrence will not remaii in New York until the completion of th present contract, which will take unti next September. He assures us, how ever, that he has gone for good this time though he admitted he would not take trunk. But he has resolved to remain ii New York until he, too, has become millionaire, and declares that when here turns it will be in a big red automobil and a bank account of at least seven fig ures. One serious drawback to his in tentions is the fact that the Pennsyl vania Railroad has just put on a throug! fast train from New York to Shepherds town, but Foreman Facey has put up counter attraction by telling him of th pleasures of Coney Island.

Lawrenc thinks that if he gets over the first payday all right he will be able to stick. He says that the fact that he has no heretofore been able to stay away fror home and native land was simply the re suit of peculiar circumstances. When It was in Kansas City he was perfectly sat ished until a woman on the floor abov him to nlav "Home. Sweet I on the piano. When he spent a whol week in Roanoke he broke down becausi they had bread pudding at his boarding house every day.

(In New York the; have promised him icecream at cacl meal.) When he located in Waynesbon he wouldn't have come home the r.ex day if he had had more time to becomi acquainted. Me didn't care to stay ii Washington because the treasury wa kept so disgustingly secure, while in Bal timore he had to saw fifty cents worth wood at the Friendly Inn to get a twenty five cent supper. But he's going to stay in New Yorl and grow up with the city. He under stands that it is a very sociable place while at the same time anybody can mak( money. He has taken along with him i complete list of the Register's subscriber there, and if he feels the least bit lone some he's going to call on them and chce up right away.

P. didn't go, after all His wife won't let him. Close Shave at Shenandoah Junction Three cars of a north-bound N. freight train were derailed at an opei switch leading to the B. O.

tracks a Shenandoah Junction Monday afternooi at 3 o'clock; and a carload of passenger narrowly escaped injury. A B. O. pas senger train was standing on the track and when the cars left the rails one them, loaded, side-wiped a coach con taining about 40 persons. It was turnei over on its side and the passengers throwi in ail directions, several jieisuus sus tained slight bruises, but no one was sc riously injured.

Both tracks were block ed for several hours. The B. O. train that was damagei was No. 6, the Chicago-New York ex press, and as train No.

5, which docs no stop at the Junction, was due just abou that time, it took work to flag it. Had i not been stopped on the minute tlier would have been a terrible accident. R. Hodges, of Shepherdstown, was con ductor in charge of the freight train tha cansed the trouble, and it is said hi brakeman was responsible for the acci dent. Me had been extraordinarily care less 011 this trip, and at the Junction left switch open and permitted the cars to rui through it.

An Important Undertaking. Mrs. James S. Phillips has undertakei a work that ought to appeal very strongl; to Shepherdstown folks who are interest ed in our much-loved old burg. It is tin writing of the genealogy of the early fam ilies of this place, beginning with th earliest settlers who landed here almos two centuries ago and, finding this lovel spot to their liking, located here for good Mrs.

Phillips has already accumulated vast deal of the most interesting data this subject, acquired at the cost of muc lime anu laour unu aim 10 about to take up the work again and pus it to completion. Her intention is to pub lisli the book at her own expense, an then from the proceeds of the sale of th volume, and with other help, erect monument here to the founders of Shep herdstown. This is an object that shoul be appreciated by our people, and hope that they will give Mrs. Phillips a I the assistance they can. She will, in or der to make her book accurate and com plete, have to secure the co-operation many of the families of the community and she asks their aid in tracing th branches of the family trees.

Hot Weather Comfhrt. Don't be without a hammock in the summer months. The comfort of a haiT mock is well known, but a good qualil hammock at a moderate price has but rc cently been possible in Shepherdstowi For several years we have been buyir i our hammocks direct from the manufai i turers, but not until this year have been able to get them down to rock-bo' torn jobber's prices.

Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S I CASTORIA Change of Schedule.

There was a change in the schedule of ir the passenger trains of the Norfolk and Western Railway last Sunday, considerit ably altering the time of several trains No. 14, which was formerly due here a. 8.55 p. north bound, now arrives at 8.05, or fifty minutes earlier. For Sheps herdstown passengers this makes a shorte er wait at Shenandoah Junction, but it cuts out a connection with a through B.

0. train from the west. No. 27, the Hagerstown-Elkton accommodation, which formerly passed here at 5,34, is about an hour later, Its time being 6.30 under the new schedule. This train now has a fine connection from Philadel- phia and points on the Pennsylvania road, A train leaves Philadelphia at 11.50 and arrives at Hagerstown at 5.45, without change, giving connection with No.

27, ti leaving Hagerstown at 6 p. m. The Pennsylvania road has evidently inspired il this change, as it will now catch New York and Philadelphia passengers who have heretofore used B. O. train No.

1 a and changed to the N. W. at Shenann doah Junction. Passengers for the N. a W.

from B. O. points will have about an hour's wait at Shenandoah Junction, instead of the close connection they have heretofore enjoyed. Passengers from Shepherdstown will lose the fine B. O.

western connection that they had by train No. 1, and will also miss the eastern ac- commodation that passes the Junction at a 6.40. Train No. 2, north-bound, passes Shepe herdstown at 12.44 a. m.

and No. 1, southbound, at 2.10 a. m. Neither is scheduled i to stop here. There is no change in the it time of trains 13 and 28.

MtAn. CBnrvliOfrlcf.VVl'tt llllTIi: Id Ulirv jnu lU.myn II persons of making an effort to have the B. 0. stop its train No. 7, which passes Shenandoah Junction at about 7.20 p.

m. If the B. (). ould let this train stop at the Junction it would give our people a splendid connection from Baltimore, Washington and other eastern points, and at the same time provide a satisfacy tory western connection, as it goes to i Cumberland. Grafton, Wheeling, Columa bus and Chicago.

We hope that this may be accomplished. 3 Teachers Appointed.
