WAS BOLD mm AT KEARNEYSVILLE
General Store of Mr. W. D. Lickier Entered Monday Night and a
Large Quantity of Goods Carried Away By Burglars.
One of the boldest robberies perpe- i
trated recently in this section occur- i
red at Kearneysville some time dur- i
lng last night, when the general store <
conducted by Mr. W. D. Licklider was I
entered and a. large Quantity of goods >
carried away. '<
The robber/ effected an entrance <
through the front door, the lock be
ing broken by an axe or crow-bar. <
They worked quietly and expeditiously, <
and succeeded in getting away with i
about a wragon load of plunder. 1
Mr. Licklider discovered the rob- 1
bery when he went to open his place 1
this morning, and found after a thor- i
ougli inspection of the stock that, the
mrglars had carried off 30 pairs of <
he best shoes in the place, about a: ]
iozen pairs of trousers and a dozen j I

FO AWAIT BETTER CONDITIONS
Local Investors Make Inquiries Con
cerning Them- The Other Bus
iness Transacted at Meeting
on Monday Night.
The regular semi-monthly meeting
of the board of education was held
Monday night, and proved to be a
short and unimportant session, there
being little business before the com
missioners for transaction.
President Russler occupied the chair
ind Commissioners Young, Snowden
md Whetzel and Secretary Pitzer were
iresont.
Secretary Pitzer stated that he »rri
■ecelved a number of inquiries con
:ernlng the school bonds, and had
•eplled to them, hut was unablo to
jive the firms any definite informa*
ion. He asked for instructions on
his point, and this brough out a gen
iral discussion of the advisability oi
rying to place the bonds at tl/i'ime.
rile commissioners seemed to be of
he opinion that it would bo better
o wait for awhile, until financial coa
litions Improved, before trying to ael!
.lie bonds. Mr. Seibert stated that
hree Marttnsburg gentlemen had :uic
sd him for Information concerning
.lie bonds, saying thfiy wished to file
implications at the proper time. One
nan wanted to invest $4,000, another
53,000, while the other did not state
ho amount ho wished to invest. H
vas finally decided to hold the matter
>ff for a few weeks, when the bonds
vlll be properly advertised.
Mr. Snowden brought up the matter
>f plans for the new building In the
hlrd ward, saying that Architect Ste
vart had asked for some definite ln
ormatlon; but this was also held up
mill some time in December, when
he matter will bo settled.
Mr. Pitzer reported that the fur
lace In the second ward building was
lot giving entire satisfaction, and the
joard ordered an investigation.
Superintendent Brindle reported
hat the schools are In good condi
ion, with everything running smoot.h
y, especially at the high school.
[0 MANAGE BERKELEY PLACE
4R. D. W. JACOBS PURCHASES
THE NEW SUBURB.
)ffers Desirable Building Lots on
Easy Payments—Novel Method
of Selling Property.
Dr. W. Jacobs, of Clarksburg, has
aken the entire management of
Jerkcley Place, that splendid addition
ust recently opened up, and quite a
lumber of lots were sold at auction a
ew weeks ago. Mr. Jacobs is the
iriginator of selling lots on the easy
layment plan in West Virginia. By
his method gives everyone a chance
o own a home site of their own. He
las successively handled five large
idditions in his home town, one addi
ion alone containing nearly a thous
,nd lots, besides additions in other
owns in this and other states. The
dan proposed to sell the lots in
lerkeley Place is this—One dollar
own' buys a lot and 25 cents and
ip pays for it. There is no interest
harge and free of taxes until paid
or in full.
Another good feature of this plan
a the life insurance. Every person,

City to Get Mine For Use on
the Brick Pavement.
HITCHING PROBLEM HOT TAKEN UP
! Members of Street Committee Defer
Action on This Question Until
Later—Will Be Hard Prop
osition to Handle.
Tho street committee of tho city
council held a meeting Monday night
and decided to purchase a sweeper for
use on tho paved portion of Queen
street, and today City Clerk Letter
ordered the machine for Immed'atu
shipment.
Tho sweeper will be of the rotary
pattern, whloh sweeps and gathers up
[the dirt ns it goes along, and oeiug
of light but strong construction, will
be easily operated without tho use of
horses.
Th4 machine will be used every
night1 uuder direction of Janitor Joe
Hlake, who has been keeping the pave
ment^ clean by a thorough washin;
three jtimes per week. Janitor Rlako
will Operate the machine under the
same‘-forma to merchants that now ob
tain, Collecting a small fee each week
from flhem.
The Btreet committee was to have
I *
taken* up and disposed of the question
tlon Queen street, but owing to
the fact that all of tho members of
the committee were not present, U
was decided to defer this matter until
another timo when a full attendance
can be secured.
Tho members of the committee feel
that they have a decidedly hard pro
position to solve in the hitching ques
tion, and they proposo to exercise
the utmost caution as to how they
tackle It.
They easily recognize the sentiment
against hitching animals on the main
street, but there are also people, es
pecially the country folk, who will con
sider an order to move to a side
street and infringement on their
rights, it is probable that the street
committee will discuss the plan of
establishing a hitching yard at some
convenient point, although this would
prove a pretty hard 'proposition to
handle, owing to the expense Involved
man, woman or child, buying a lot
'and should die before the lot Is paid
for a free deed is given to the wife,
mother son, daughter or anyone des
ignated, without paying a cent more
for the lot.
This is surely an easy way to own
property. Simply saving a few dimes
a day.
Suit Compromised.
The suit of Lewis Munday, of Ha
gerstown, against the Cumberland Val
ley railroad for damages to the amount
of $10,000 for injuries received by be
ing caught between a car and the coal
chutes in the yards in Hagerstown,
was compromised Saturday, the rail
road company paying Mr. Munday
$2,500.
Ileal Estate Transfers.
The following deed has been record

P. Eichelberger and wife to Amelia J.
Licklider, Mary D. Hedges and Lillian

northeast corner of West John street

Popular Young Couple With Names |
of States Had Nuptial Knot Tied
Quietly Monday Evening.
A peculiar coincidence—not likely '
to happen again In many years—oc
curred In Winchester on Monday,
when County Clerk Phil H. Gold Is
sued a marriage license to a gentle
man whose Christian namo is after
the state of Utah and that of his bride
is after the state of Rhode Island (Lit
tle Rhodle.)
Mr. Utah Crosen is a well-known!
young farmer living in the northern!
part of Frederick county, the son of
Mr. Mortimer Crosen, and recently
he obtained the consent of Mr. Josh
ua Place, of the same neighborhood, to f
marry the latter’s pretty daughter, ji
Miss Rhode Island Place. They went j i
to Winchester on Monday, and after 11
procuring the license made a bee-line ji
for a minister's home, where they were ^ i
married. The best wishes of many j!

First Cousin of Senator Faulkner
and Judge Faulkner, and Uncle of
Mrs. P. R. Harrison—Native
of Winchester.
Governor Warfield, ot Maryland, on
'Monday night announced the appoint
ment of Judge A. Hunter Boyd, ot Cum
herland, chief justlco of the Maryland
Court of Appeals, to succeed the late
Chief Justice James McSherry, of
Frederick. Judge Boyd will qualify
Immediately and assume his
new duties, ns the court will then re
sume its sittings.
The appointment of Judge Boyd was a
surprise and cume unexpectedly to
Judge Boyd.
In Annapolis the appointment of
Judgo Boyd was very favorably re
ceived and will undoubtedly moet with
approval throughout the slate. Gov
ernor Warfield stated that ho
had not decided as to whom he would
appoint chief judge of the sixth judi
cial circuit in place of Judge McSher
ry
Last July tho name of Judge Boyd
wa» brought forward tor the domo
pratic gubernatorial nomination, ud
although sentiment did not crystalige
for him at tho time, his wide popular
lty was attested by tho compllmei
that were passed upon him as a Judg*.
It was urged then that he was a man*
jf high character and that his recon
>n tho bench wus unassailable. Atl
he samo time it was pointed out by
hose who were reluctant to soe him
•etlre to private life or return to the
[iractlce of his profession that It
vould bo difficult for him to be ro
dected in 1908, because the Fonrth
llstrlct Is heavily republican.
The son of a Presbyterian minister,
fudge Boyd was born in Winchester,

ME BUNCHED TOO CLOSE TOGETHER
Library Day and West Virginia Day Come So Close Together That
An Effor: Will Be Made to Observe Both on the Same Day.
State Superi.. ndent of Free Schools
Thomas C. Mill r has issued his No
vember circular cf information in
which he calls att'rMon to the fact
hat another unifOr n Uichers' exam
nation will bo held November 29 and
!0 in each of the several counties of
be state, in the main for supplying1
he shortage of teachers. The head
>f the department deals largely in j
his circular with the observance of
ibrary day and West Virginia day.
It has been the custom of the
schools of the state to observe the
Irst Friday in December as library
lay and the state superintendent re
lomtnends that as this day and West
Virginia day come so close tobether
that a program be arranged celebrat
ing them both, on the same day. The
object of library day to create a taste
among the pupils for a better grade
of literature has been very success
ful as figures quoted in the circular
show that from 30,000 volumes in
the libraries of the schools in 1901,
the volumes have grown until, on June
30, 1907, the number exceeded 150,
000. It is the wish of the state de
partment that^his number be increas
ed to 200,000 this year.
