STARTS THREE-YEAR SIJNTENCE H. Rudolph Rations Appeared at Court-On County Works. H. Rudolph Rabens, of Charleston came to Walhalla last week, spend ing several days al the Walhalla Hotel. He came last week under a misunderstanding as to the time for Court to convene, and his visit was for the purpose of surrendering him self to the county authorities and-to begin the serving of his three-year sentence on the public works of the county. This sentence was passed by the 8e^'ons Court, after which Rabens was released on a bond of $5,000 pending appeal to the Su preme Court. The lower Court was sustained-and a new trial refuged. Rabens was convicted of receiving stolen goods in connection with the now famous robbery of the Courte nay Manufacturing Company, at Newry, this county, in which McCar thy, a noted safe-blower, and seve ral other "yeggs" of equal promi nence were the principals. Rabens wns once a resident of Walhalla, but left here when a youth and has oince resided in Charleston, where he is generally reputed to have acquired , some $50,000 or more-as proprie tor of a "corner grocery," manager of the Star Theatre, and in other enterprises of similar character. Monday afternoon Rabens left Wal halla for the county poor farm, where he will be with the county hands for three years ?unless there ls some change In the program before that time. Supervisor Mc Allst er refused to ac cept Rabens on the county works, ! and requested that he be sent to ?.he , State penitentiary. It was finally ar ranged, however, that Rabens is to go on the county works, while his ; $5,000 remains on deposit in the People's Rank as a guarantee of good behavior. In case of attempt I to get away, ?ullenness, or the glv- j lng of any trouble whatever by Ra bens to the county overseers or Stew, ard W. R. Cobb, the $5,000 guaran tee is to be taken and forfeited to the county. The deposit of $5,000, which has been up as bond for his 4 appearance will remain In the fu ture as guarantee of good behavior while Rabens ls serving his three years. lt ls understood that Rabens is to receive the intert.it on the do posit of $5,000. Over Thirty-Five Years. In 187 2 there was a great deal of j diarrhoea, dysentery and cholera In- j fantum. It was at this time that i Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea ilemedy was first brought I into use. It proved more successful than any other remedy or treatment, and has for thirty-five years main tained that record. From a small beginning its sale and use has ex tended to every part of the United States and to many ?prelgn coun tries. Nine druggists out of ten will recommend lt when their opinion is asked, although they have other medicines that pay them a greater profit. It can always be depended upon, even In the most severe and dangerous cases. For sale by Dr. J. W. Bell, Walhalla; W. J. Lun ney, Seneca. Master, Magistrates, Etc.

INK OF WALHALLA, WA MIALLA. Pocket Check Books aro Winners! MISS HEARD ENTERTAINS. Old Walhalla Hotel - Scene of Very Happy Gathering Last Week. "Miss Dollie Beard,, At Home, " v Friday Evening, July Third. From 9 to 12," . . ' It has been said, and we have often thought truly, that all the curiosity in the world had been given to, or appropriated by, woman; but that is not true, for in sr'te of the above an nouncement, which was sent out to the "smart set" of Walhalla's society every single recipient, both women and men, gathered at (he Walhalla Hotel on the evening of July 3d to see If it were really true, and no one regretted that his inclination had led him there. Well, was she "at home?" To be sure she was, and she seemed to be expecting us all, too, for when one went in the front door, there were Mr. and Mrs. Otto Schumacher to receive and conduct the guest to the parlor. It was a pity we all decided to go the same evening, for Miss Dollie already had two of the most charming young ladies there from Pendleton-Mirses Sadie McPhail and Louise Sloan; but you know how nice Miss Dollie Is. She wouldn't hurt any one's feelings for the world, and made us all feel welcome, whe ther we were or not. Soon after we had all gotten there ; she passed around little cards, upon which were written new names for us all. For example, a young lady received a card, upon which she found "Mr. Byron," and so ie young man received one upon which he found "Mrs. Byron." They were then told to hunt their partners, j These having been found, we were told to sit down abd be quiet. Such j an impossibility! Papers were then dlstribut-d containing sixteen quos Hons to be answered by Mr. and Mr?, i So-and-So." This occupied the at- ? tention of the guests for about twen- I ty minutes, and if some of us had waited till we answered all the ques- j Hons we would have been there yet. ; For instance: "Why is on old maid like a wilted apple? Because she ls hard to pair" (pare). "Which is the happiest of the United States? The State of Matri mony." But Miss Annie/Verner and Jesse Neville, Mrs. Stovall and Lucien Maxwell were very apt and both ! couples answered all but one of the ' questions. The straws were pro- ' doced and the draw declared that Mrs. Stovall and Mr. Maxwell were the winners of the first prize. Who j got the other? Oh, don't ask us j that; they do not want us to tell. The potato carrying contest was a source of much amusement and was indulged in by most of those present. While we were yet in the midst of the excitement caused by the mental and bodily exercises we had just finished, delicious cream and cuke began to appear on the scene as if by magic, and while lt lasted there was a strange stillness throughout the building. We heard a man say the other day that in his young days the "old Ble mann Hotel" was the scene of many happy events such as are not known now a days. But if they had any better times In that day than we did the other evening, we are glad we did not live then, for we would have died with joy. and we are not yet ready for that-especially if there is any probability of Miss Beard's being "At Home" soon again. The Remedy that Does. "Dr. King's New Discovery is the remedy that does the healing others promise but fail to perform." says Mrs. E. R. Pierson, of Auburn Cen tre, Pa. "It is curing me of throat and lung trouble of long standing, that other treatments relieved only temporarily. New Discovery is do ing mo so much good that I feel confident its continued uso for reasonable length of time will restore me to perfect health." This renown ed cough and cold remedy and throat and lung healer ls sold at an drug gists. 50c. and $1, Trial bottle free. Hig Picnic nt Cross Roads. We are requested to announce that there will be a big picnic (in connec tion with the campaign meeting) at CroBs Roads on July 18th. Ample arrangements are being made, so that all will have an enjoyable time, and nothing will be spared to make every one comfortable. An urgent invitation ls extended to the gene ral public and a special Invitation ls extended to the people of the South Union, Fair Play, Townville, Oakway, Earle's ?J, Friendship and Return communities to be present. You should go. It will prove an enjoyable occasion. Rest the World Affords. "It gives me unbounded pleasure to recommend Bucklen's Arnica Salve," says J. W. Jenkins, of Chapel HUI. N. C. "I am convinced it's the best salve the world affords. It I cured a felon on my thumb, and it ' never falls to heal every Bore, burn or wound to which lt ls applied." 25c. at All drug stores.
