Cijt jSijtijprbstofon $Ugisttr. H. L. SNYDER, Editor and Proprietor, Shkphkri>stown\ W. Va. FRIDAY, JUNE 14, 1889. SKHMS to us it is time tlmt Jupiter Plnvius gives us a little rest. So far, this has been the wettest administration the country has ever hail. _ ? Cash ami goods are more useful to the flood sufferers than sympathy and advice. WANTKD, in Baltimore, a baseball club that can play baseball. Also a manager that knows how to nian Ex-Sknator Dwiqht M. Sabix has sued for divorce from his wife. He charges her with habitual drunken ness. Tiik city people who go farther than Shephertlstown to find a Mini liter resort will be very apt to fare worse. yi'KKN Victoria has cabled her sympathy to the Johnstown sufferers. She didn't cable any cash with it, though. Sitting Bi ll is dying of pneumo nia. and probably by theft line this is printed will have reached the happy hunting grounds. Hoar. 8.P. McCormick, one of tii< most active Republicans of this State, died in Washington last week of can cer of the fctomach. Tiik wide-awake Democratic minor ity is getting itself in shape to make it Warm for the Republican majority in the next Congress. It is only by such dreadful occur rences as the Johnstown disaster that the American public finds out what a great big heart it has. Thk people of Maryland seem to think the canal i? not of much ac count. but they'll find out their mis take if they allow it to die. Rkv. John Jaspkr, of "de sun do move" fame, thinks lie is inspired. We admire Br'er Jasper's faith, but we fear he is over-enthusiastic. A voi" no lady of Cleveland who is to be married soon has a bridal out fit that cost $35,000. If the trousseau is worth that much how valuable is the bride? Thk Michigan farmers who are sell ing their potatoes at five cents a bushel would like to find the "home market" that the protection orators raved about last full. It's a very strange coincidence that the papers that were most treacher ous to (*rover Cleveland in 1888 are most enthusiastic in announcing David B. Hill for 1892. Calvin S. Brick is to be the new chairman of the National Democratic Committee. There's one thing that can be said in Brice's favor? he al ways looks on the sunny side. Gov. Forakkr of Ohio will be a candidate for a third term. Nobody but Ohio people could have ever stood him for even a half term, but we suppose he'll be elected again. Editor A. B. Whitk, of the Par kersburg Journal , will be the next col lector of Internal Revenue for West Virginia. Mr. White is an able man, but he is a very "offensive partisan." Corporal Tanner is still doing all he can to get rid of the surplus. Philip Flood passed the high-water mark in pensions last week by draw ing back pay to the amount of $ 15,289, and the corporal ?-ays the big gers the sum the better he likes it. Thk total number of business failures reported by BraJstreet's from January 1st of the present year is 4.345, as against 3,730 for the same period last year. here s that tidal wave of prosperity that the high protection orators promised last fall? Thk press and the people are now busily discussing the responsibility for the Johnstown disaster. We think the citizens of the ill-fated val ley were as much to blame as anyone else for allowing a rotten dam to be built and maintained right over their heads. Thk commissioners of Durham county, >\ C., do not regard marriage as a failure, and in order to make the connubial state even more popular they have removed the tax on mar riage licenses. But it must not be forgotten that those who marry in haste will still repent at leisure. Thk committee that is engaged in counting the gubernational vote has moved from Charleston to Grafton, where it will finish its work as fast as it can. The race is still neck to neck, and our Republican brethren of the press are intensely disappoint ed because they can find no fault in the action of the Democratic major i ty. _ Thk Bourne Mills Company of Fall River, Massachusetts, is an extremely philanthropic corporation. It always takes a great interest in its employees and now it proposes to share profits with them. It grandiloquently an nounces that the operatives are to haveO per cent of the dividend to the stockholders? which, sifted down, means that thirty-six one-hundredths of one per cent of the capital will be divided among them. Just think of it? each man will get $1.80 a year! We sincerely hope this Massachusetts corporation will not become bank rupt through its own generosity. The Board of Regents of the West Virginia University passed a resolu tion last Tuesday to throw open the doors of the school to women as well as men, and theadvocates of co-educa tion have gained the victory for which they have been fighting many vears. We believe it is a mistake to introduce the co educational system into our State University. There are four good normal schools in the State where females can haveall the educa tional advantages they desire, and it seems to us that these are enough. Of course it is a very good move so far asM organstown alone is concerned, but we fail to see any benefit to the State at large. THE CANAL. The funeral services are being read over the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal before it is a corpse. This is due to the earnest desire of its enemies, who are anxiousthat the official announce ment of its death may be made as soon as possible and that it may be buried deeply and forever. But the canal is not dead yet, and there is no reason why it may not take ft new lease of life and become more vigorous and beneficial than e\er. The railroad companies desire the I death of the canal. The Davis sys tem of railroads would like to build a railroad along the tow-path as far as I Williamsport.whereconnection would 1 be made with Western Maryland road. ; and possiblv to continue the line to i Washington. The B. & 0. wants the canal removed as a competitor, but of course would not like a railroad built in its place. The politicians and those whose in i terests are with the railroads have painted the old canal in dismal colors, and have utterly discouraged most of the people who naturally want the ditch kept open. All the talk is one way, and hardly a voice is heard to say a word in favor of the canal. But a revolution of feeling will come soon, I and we will hear from the other side. The first estimates of the disaster were that it would take a million dollars to repair the damage; then it dropped to half a million; now the officials admit that $300,000 will cover the loss. We believe it can be gotten in as good shape as it was before the ilood for ?200,000. Indeed, when the first wild ti^nres were given out we heard agen tleman say he would repair all dam ages for $250,000, and he is able to do what he says, too. Now, the question is, will the State of Maryland allow this great indus trial enterprise, on which the pros perity of so many of its citizens is de pendent. and which is such an impor tant competitor with the railroads, to perish for the want of a quarter of a million dollars? Will the large busi ness interests of Cumberland and Georgetown, and the dozens of thriv ing manufactories and large and small enterprises along its line, remain qui et and see their very life taken from them? We think not. Let the people along the line enter protest against .the schemes of the canal wreckers. The energetic busi ness men of Georgetown are making themselves heard, and with some ef fect, too. Let Cumberland and Wil liamsport join them, and so all along the line. Now is the time to take the canal out of politics and put it under business management. The Hood lias swept away a great deal of debris from the canal itself? now sweep away also incompetent and unworthy officials who only use it for political purposes. It will be a sad day when all the business enterprises dependent on the canal are obliged to close up. It will be a sadder one when the rail roads know that it no longer com petes with them in the carrying of freight. The true usefulness of the canal will be greatest when the State will make it a free waterway, as New York has done with the Krie. But if the State will not do this the busi ness men who are interested should see that it is kept open by some means. The circular of Messrs. John A. liambleton A: Co., the Baltimore bankers, issued last Friday, thus re views the destruction of the Chesa peake ami Ohio canal as a water-way by the flood: There is only one of two things that can be done with the Chesapeake and Ohio canal. Either the State of Maryland must assume it> liabilities and make it a free water way, as did the State of New York, or the canal must be sold for the purpose of constructing a railroad upon its corpus. It is not likely that the State will assume the liabilities of the canal and make it a free water way, so that it is more than probable that the canal will be sold to a rail road company, which will construct a railroad from the coal fields to tide water. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad would no doubt like to get possession of the canal and use it to shorten its route or to prevent any competing road from using it. There are other competitors who would be willing to buy the canal, which would be very valuable to any rail road company. The State of Mary land has put millions into it, but the expenditure, although unproductive, served the purpose intended and benefited the State and people. At the last session of our Legislature a movement was inaugurated to lease a part of the canal (Cumberland to Williamsport) to the Western Mary- j land Railroad, which strikes the canal at Williamsport. The movement failed, much to the regret of the people of Baltimore. The Legislature will be in session next winter, and no doubt some disposition will be made i ot the canal and the $-)00,000, repair i bonds be provided for by payment, or some satisfactory guarantee from any purchaser or lessee of the canal. If the canal is sold outright it would j bring enough to cover the ?.")00,000 j repair bonds, and, probably, in addi tion enough to pay something to the holders of the ?1. 700.000 old non-mor tgage bonds and a dividend to the State. The canal ought to bring at least $1,000,000." HOW'S THIS! We offer One Hundred Dollars reward for any case of Catarrh that cannot be cured by taking Hall's Catarrh Cure. F.J.

John Miller has been appointed Bostmaster at Kevser in place of E. [. Davis. Thomas J. Matthews, of West Vir ginia, has been appointed a timber agent, in the General Land Office. The contract for alterations, addi | tional repairs to the public building at Wheeling, has been awarded to Mc Carthy & Baldwin, of Washington, I). C., at their bid of *22.700. At Coal Valley, Kanawha county, an incendiary lire destroyed the store house and stock of goods of J. I). Harris & Bro., a dwelling owned by ! James Elwood. and three tenement houses owned by S. H. and J. W. Montgomery. A Wheeling young man named Robinson recently became aware of a sore on his lower lip. and being a cig arette liend he continued to smoke. Then the sore became very much worse, and he had part of his lip cut ofT, as it was found that the sore was of a cancerous nature. Boys, take warn ing. At New Cumberland, on Tuesday last, a gravel train on t lie Pittsburg, Cincinnati ami St. Louis Railroad col lided with the south-bound passenger train, killing Charles Rodgers and fatally wounding Win, Brown. Both engines and five cars were demolished. Conductor Prince and Engineer Mont gomery of the gravel train are under arrest. On Thursday night two negro des peradoes went to a cabin near the Turkey Run Coal Mines. McDowell county, and. covering the inmates, about a dozen Hungarian miners, with revolvers, demanded their wages. One of the Hungarians drew a revolver and was shot three times, dying in a short time. The others tied, and the house was looted by the negroes, who escaped. Two arrests have been made on suspicion. Job Smith, aged about forty years, son of Elder Jonathan Smith, of Roane county, and who resided near Walton, was shot and instantly, killed by Sam. Cronhecker, alias Cum mings, last Thursday evening. It ap pears that Smith's wife died some time siuce and left six small children, and out of sympathy Mrs. Cumiuings and her husband took up their resi dence at the Smith homestead. All went well until last Monday, when Mrs. Cumiuings had a row with her husband and drove him away, which resulted in his return Thursday, and upon seeing his wife and Smith to gether in the yard lie lired a double barreled shot-gun at Smith, resulting in filling the latter's body with lead, from which he died in a few minutes. Cutiimings was arrested and con fessed the killing, ami said that his wife had been unfaithful to him, and that Smith was the destroyer of his happiness. Cummings is in the Roane county jail. It has been ascertained that the recent unprecedented floods of water in the Potomac last week came mostly from the South Branch. The Moorefield Examiner says: "The most terrible scourge the South Branch Valley has ever experienced was visited upon it last Friday. From one end of the valley to the other the ravages of terrible waters are seen upon every side. It is be yond the power of tongue or pen to fully convey an understanding of the damage done by the mad waters in a single day. Those who saw the flood of 1877 can fully appreciate the con dition of our beautiful little valley at this time, except that this flood "was far more destructive to the farms ly ing along the streams. The fanners had their corn in? most of it had been plowed the first time, some the second time. All of this, in the bot tom land, was either washed away plow depth or covered over with rocks and sand. It seems that wherever the land was in grass, wheat or oats it suffered very little from washing. The loss is tremendous; in fact there is no way of estimating it. Every fariaer along the valley is a sufferer in land, crops and fencing. Nearly all of the fencing along the valley was swept off, but this is a small loss compared to the loss of land. This is the worst season of the year for a flood. The land is plowed up and in corn, making it loose and easily washed, theseasonis too far advanced to put in another crop, the wheat and oats are maturing and easily ruined, ami upon the whole the pros pect for the fanners this year is any thing but encouraging." So far as heard from there was 110 loss of life. In making the arrest of a woman named Fredericks Eppiger, on the charge of hoarding infants without a license from the hoard of health, a queer monstrosity was discovered by the officers of the Society for the Pre vention of Cruelty to Children in New York on Tuesday. It was a child strangely malformed into a horrible resemblance toafish. Its head recedes from the eyes backward, and a pro truding mouth is kept constantly in motion as the child breathes in short gasps. There is the mixed appear ance of a fish's and a child's head all in one. The arms are connected to the sides by a thin membrane, and have the appearance of tins. The legs are bound together by a similar ligature, and the feet turn outward. It is said that the mother of the mon strosity was a servant and the father her employer, and that the girl is now suing the latter in the courts. The mother, it is said, received a fright in a dime museum, which caused the malformation. The Verdicf Unanimous. \V. D. Suit, Druggist, Hlppus. Ind., testifies: '?I can recommend Electric Bitters as the very best remedy. Every bottle sold has given re lief in every case. One man look six bottles and was cured of Rheumatism of 10 years' standing." Abraham Hare, druggist, lie 1 1 ville, Ohio, atllrms: "The best selling medi cine 1 have evet handled in my 20 years' ex perience is Electric Hitlers." Thousands of others have added their testimony, so that the verdict is uuanimous that Electric Bit ters do cure all diseases of the Liver, Kid neys or Blood. Only a half dollar a bottle at J. G. Gibson s Drug Store. Business is being gradually resumed at Johnstown, Pa., and a more hopeful view prevails among the people. The State of Pennsylvania has assumed the work of removing the wreckage from the river. The distribution of supplies to the 20,000 people who must be taken care of goes on systematic ally. The American Society of Civil Engineers has appointed a commit tee to report on the South Fork dam, the breaking of which caused the disaster. New York City has given *4o0,000 for the relief of the sufferers. The Remarkable Cures Which have been effected by Hood's Sarsa parllla are sufficient proof that this medicine does possess peculiar curative power. In the severest cases of scrofula or salt rheum, when oilier preparations had been powerless, the use of Hood's Sarsuparllla has brought about the happiest results. The ca#e of Miss Sarah C. Wbittler, of Lowell. Mass., who suffered terribly from scroiulous sores; that of Chas. A. Roberts, of East Wilson, Jf. Y., who had thirteen abscesses on Ills face aud neck ; that of Willie Duff, of Walpole.Mass, who dad hip disease and scrofula so bad that physicians said he could not recover, are a few of the many instances in which wonderful cares were effected by this medicine. Peter Laing, who is 104 years of age, has just been admitted to church membership in Klgin, Scotland. He admits that he has been a little tardy in joiuing the church, but now that lie has joined he intends to go right in with the other young folks and do his share of active work. "For a long time 1 had no appet lie, was rest less at night, and very much debilitated. After taking two bottles of Ayer's Sarsa pa ri 11a my strength and appetite returned, and my health was conirletely restored."? D. M. Fisher, Oswego, N. Y. The Council at Shepherdstown, June, 1889. BY A MKMBKR OF THK COUNCIL. How noon the future becomes the past! The meeting of the Council in Shep herdstown to which we for bo long a time looked forward with so much pleasure, is now forever in the past. Beautiful and glad as are the pleas ures of hope, the pleasures of memo ry are not to be despised. That to which we may not now look forward, we may remember and we shall re member. Remember, ave, remember, and not forget! Remember the beautiful town on the stream so famous in history and in song ? reviving the times when the poet sang "All quiet along the Poto mac to-night." Remember that the fields of battle and of carnage are now waving in green or adorned with si lent statuary to mark the undying glory of the "American soldier." Remember, if the murmur of the beautiful river whisper a plaintive requiem over the noble dead who | sleep near her lovely shores, or mourn i the wrecks of more recent floods? yet , fed from the little rills in the hills and j rolling on to the sea, she still is typic- | al of human life'. And yet, too, pro phetic, as we look upon the ever changing water, and yet ever-endur ing stream? that men die, the world survives: men die, the Church of God lives on. Remember her beautiful fields, her hills and valleys, and her fairy "Lee land," where on a single hillock the eye beholds the grandeur and the beauty which four States combine to make. Remember, aye, and with memories more tender than those for hill or plain or river ? the "most abounding hos pitahty " that welcomed "strangers" to the homes of her good citizens, who with a touch of their magic wands transmuted the stranger guest into the grateful friend. Remember the gentle graces of the Christian life that portray in her good citizens the work of the great Fath er's loving "tender mercy," binding them in one communion fold and fel lowship?revealing the truth that "he being dead yet speaketh," who here for some three and thirty years lived and loved and labored and stamped his noble character on his people who were his children, on the town and on the church of his love in the Ameri can continent. So may the shadow of the mighty and the saintly and the now sainted "ANDREWS" seem yet to fall in blessing on his people, and his mantle to rest upon his most worthy successor. Peace and rest and gladness and gratitude for one and for all, on kind hosts and hostesses in particular, and O, how many these have been. A special blessing on our "home," where we so happily sojourned. The resolutions appended but im perfectly show the gratitude of the Council and the pleasure received : Resolved, That the cordial thanks of this Council be and are hereby ten dered to the citizens of Shepherds town and particularly to the officers and Vestry of Trinity Church and to the Committee of Reception for their attention and most abounding hospi tality. Resolved , That the thanks of the Council be and are hereby tendered to the railroad companies who have given to the members of the Council the courtesvof reduced rates to Coun cil. Resolved . That the grateful thanks of the Council be and are hereby ten dered to the Secretary for his most faithful and efficient services. May time deal gentlv, dear friends, with you, and may a Father's wisdom instruct, His power defend, His mercy accept, His spirit sanctify, His Provi dence lead safely And tenderly all of "life's dangerous ways," and His abounding love gather at last into the Fold Eternal. All for Jesus' sake ?Amen. T. H. L. [For the Register.] Enigma. 'TIs heard In the wall of the wintry wind, And blinks in the ice when to skating you're Inclined : It is found amidst Iceland's frozen clime, And covers the window with frosted rime. Yet comes with the nightingale's warbled trills, And touches with beauty the distant hills, And adorns the fields where the daisies nbound?

Elias Snowberger. residing about two miles from Waynesboro, 1'a., committed suicide by hanging, Mon day morning. Mr. Snowberger was greatly disturbed and chagrined over the failure of this year's crop in grain, caused by the Hood, and this is thought to be the reason of his self inflicted death. He was a bachelor, aged about 70 years, and his wealth estimated at $80,000. Mr. Snowber ger's brother committed suicide by drowning aboHt a year ago. Bible Wine.? Dr. John Ellis. A leading writer on the use of Hlble wines Srocured a bottle of iSpeer's unfermented rape juice and subjected it to ? chemical test.

Many religious societies are using this wine, \ and there is no reason for continuing to use a leavened wine while there Is an unfer mented wine already in the market." .Sold by Druggists. There is a railroad in Arkansas which pays 33 per cent annuallv on its cost. It runs from the Iron Moun tain Railroad to Hot Springs. It is twenty-two miles long, narrow gauge, and was built for *300.000. It has netted $100,000 a year for fifteen years past. The entire road and equipment is owned by Joseph Reynolds. On every locomotive and car on the road is painted the letter J in the centre of a diamond, and the lucky owner of this narrow-gauge monopoly is known to al the surrounding country as "Di amond Joe." _ A box of Ayer's Pills has saved many a fit of sickness.

There Is no death, the stnrs go down To rise upon some fairer shore, Ami bright in heaven's Jeweled crown They shine forevertnore.

She clung to life with almost marvelous tenacity, not thatshe feared death, but was loth to leave the loved ones at home. She was the light and guiding spirit of the household, and truly she was blessed with a devoted family? a husband that never wearied In his care for her; chil dren that loved to honor her. She possessed all the noble attributes of mind and heart thai go to make up a beautiful Christian | character? the loving wife, the devoted moth er, the true friend, has passeu to the other shore; she has finished tthe work He gave her to do; tiie mortal has put on the Immor tal and now lier's isanother home? not made with hands; eternal In tiie heavens.
