THE anonymous writer who wants
q netice inserted surrsptitiously can
not be accommodated In fact, pub
locations of that character, however
worthy the object sought, are unwel-
come.
The sketches of the President and
Vice President on the first page have
been in waiting long time. Also,
similar ones for Tildsn and Hendricks,
which would have been published had
they been declared elected.
IRE Homecoming Mlne'' is in error
when it states the Frostburg Psrpet-
s4al Building Association held a
stormy meeting last evening The
reader may correct the statement by
overlooking the word, Perpetual
BRING out your candidates for
Mayor and Council. Don't wait un-
til the last moment and then depend
upon max sshifts. We want men, and
We want them to have time in which
to persuade themselves it is their duty
to serve the people.
The funeral of the late Mr.. Ward

Observation-Disclosures Karr, Esq,
has resigned his position as Superin-
tendent of the Frostburg Gas Works.
the resignation having taken effect
the first day of this month Mr.. Kari
has taken out letters patent upon a
process for Preventing the Accum-
ulation of Carbon in Rstorts used in
Distilling Carbureted Hydrogen.
This is discovery which promises to
be Of immense benefit to gas produce
ers, inasmuch as it proposes to utilize
a large amount of combustible mater
ial now lost by condensation in the
process of generation. This con-
densed carbon forms also . serious
impeachment to gas making and its
necessarily frequent removal Is very
destructive of the costly retort. Mr..
Karr's patent provides an sffectual
remedy for botL evils and thus intro
duces a two-fold economy. 1t is
based upon well known scientific
principles; he has tested it to his own
perfect satisfaction, and if certain in
fallible chemical affinities do not lie
in this case, he will soon be able to
demonstrate the value of his discov-
cry to the world.
A STORMY MEETING-A Huge Re
port Laid on the TaJle.-The call for
a meeting of the stockholders of the
Frostburg Building Association, drew
quite q large number of interested
people to the Town Council Chamber
Tuesday evening. William G. Nc
MILAN was chosen chairman and r.
w. Mason secretary. The report OF
Messrs. U. Steineman and John B.
McCulloh, examiners, was read, and,
after stirring debate, laid on the
table. A proposition to appoint
another commission of three persons
one to be selected by the directors
secretary and treasurer, respectively
was carried. The report submitted is
voluminous document, summing W
the result of three weeks of arduous
labor. In the light of statements
made by Mr.. Steineman as to the
difficulties encountered in research
IT'S disposition in no wise reflects dis
paragingly upon him or his colleague
In view also of the projected re-eA
animation of the records, the repor
loses enough of interest to make spec
ial references thereto in these column
undesirable.
