The Montgomery Advocate says
that "the Democrats of Garrett coun-
ty are determined upon a strong and
united effort to regain control of the
county. Our former fellow citizen,
Mr.. ]. w. Veitch. is strongly urged
for the State Senate"
We take it that your "former fell
low-citizen" is altogether too smart
a man to allow himself to be slaugh-
tered by heading the Democratic
ticket in Garrett county. The Re-
publicans will sweep Garrett county
this fall.-Cuns6. News.
Col. Veitch. we believe, under
stands why he is "urged" for the
State Senate, and as the Ne,0s says, is
too smart to allow himself to be
slaughtered. His defeat this fall
would be a great advantage to some
of his friends" in the near future.

extract the ball while the STRENGTH
of the patient was at its maxium era
before the track had been partiallv
closed by the swelling of the soft
parts treating the case from the first
from the standpoint of gusswork
instead of from actual facts gained
by thorough and intelligent explora-
ton neglect to give exit to pus that
had collected and to pieces of fractur-
ed ribs till the consulting surgeons
had arrived from Philadelphia and
New York, when DR.. Agnew did
what was proper; being from the
first oyerweighted with a sense of
responsibility, owing to the fact that
the patient was the President of the

He concludes as follows: "Tht
illustrious sufferer, after thirty-fivt
days, still lies on his back, and each
day with almost the regularity d
clockwork his fever appears, and We
the bulletins tell us the surgeons are
satisfied! Is it possible they do not

If it is not arrested there car be but
one termination; and yet do not

DR.. Hammond Aroused.

Ex-Surgeon-General VIM. A Ham,
mond, of New York, has written a
letter in which he takes strong
ground against the course pursued by
President Garfield's attending sur
geons. After entirely exculpating
Drs. Hamilton and AgneY from any
connection with the alleged mall
practice, DIR. Hammond arraigns the
surgeons on seven counts for the

Mrs. Garfeld'sG ratitude.

A Washington correspondent of a
New York paper says that when Mrs.
Garfield read the many messages of
sympathy and coincidence received
at the Executive Mansion, she, with
a voice tremulous with emotion and
and tears in her eyes, said:
eff it were Only possible for my
husband and me to 60 around and
see all these dear people who have
been SO thoughtful in their remem-
brance for us here of late days, /
would be SO happy; and / know he
would, too. / want to thank them
to tell them all how kindly l feel
toward them for what they have
said to me. / never could under
stand anything about politics, and
if liked a person it makes no differ
ence whether they were Republicans
or Democrats and now l have grown
to think that there is not much diff
ference between the two great parties,
for one says just as kind words in our
present aff1iction as the other. 1t

ion as to what | would do were wo-
man permitted to vote as we'll as

tickets. fold them together so as to

A very ingenious swindle is being
worked successfully on farmers in
Pennsylvania and Ohio. The Pitts
burg Dispatch says that number of
persons have been caught in the
northern counties of that State that
are just coming to realize the full
import of the "agency" they took
last spring. A gang of swindlers
have been over the country appoint
ing well to do farmers agent for
some patent contrivance alleged to be
of use in agriculture or in connection
with the duties OF the housewife on
the farm. These fellows are Clio
takers and the pitchfork, or churn,
or pump, or corn husker, cow milker,
dlsh-washer or what-not which they
especially represent is of course the
best thing in the world and is taking
everywhere it has been tried. They
are so confident of the sale of the ar
ticle that they "run all the riskn
themselves and let the responsible
farmer have the agency and sample,
only requireing him tosign contract
that three months or one year after
date he promises to pay at the village
bank $50 when he sells 1925 worth
of the patent. This contract is SO
written that the end is torn off and
leaves good straight note for 1925,
payable at the bank, at six per &C MT,
interest. Several grangers have late.
ly received notice of such notes fal.
ling due and are paying up, there be.

The phrase, ''large Republican
gains" sounds familiar enough, but
it has new and pleasant ring in
coming from Democratic strongholds
in Kentucky, where the late election
carried CONSERVATION to the Bourbon
camp, not alone in their reduced
majorities, but in sending Republic
cans to the Legislature from districts
regarded as surely Democratic.

in'this matter.
AS he seems fond OF quoting vouchers,
would like to show his capacity as Q
voucher. Soon after the appointment oil
the present Board OF Trustees | was or
dsred TO discharge man named Smith, q
brother OF j. g. Smith, former trustee,
because he was physically unfit for the
place he filed. After his discharge he pre-.
scented bill for the day following the dis.
charge, because he was occupied q part Of
the day in gathering up tools which he
had scattered about the city, and for re-
tanning which he could have been prose-
cuted, and also for pumping drip boxes on
certain Sunday In July, some months
before his discharge, The time book kept
by Mr.. B. showed that he did not work
that Sunday. Mr., B. had paid Smith up
to the end Of his term, and s, had never
clsimed pay for that day, but when
this bill was presented by Smith
after his discharge there was

written and spelt correctly, but only cor
rect as to spelling and Penmanship. The
Trustees refused TO pay the bill. .. sued
for the amount and at the trial Mr.. B.
appeared as q witness and swore hat the
bill was correct and s. gained the case,
Mr.. B. swore that his own book, kept by
himself, was not correct. He either told
the truth when he made his record In
July or he sworeto the truth at So trial,
and as the two stories differed he could
not have told the truth twice. II this 10

Mr., Browne refers in his article to the
cost OF three services laid for Mr., O, Hess.
These services cost respectively 50 10, 50 90
and 81 % and there could not be at that
price one dollar OF profit 10 the city on
Mr.. Hess bill. Mr.. Browne insinuates
that his charge for the same work would
have been S. 20 per service, This Is un.
true Ns the rates which he usually charged
would have made the services cost 81 80,
81 so and SO 90. 1t Is q fact moreover that
the workmanship with which Mr.. Hess
services was laid was much better than
that used in Mr.. Brownies time, II is also
q fact that heaYier and more expensive
and more durable pipe and other material
are used for services now than during Mr..
Brownies time. So that while in Q few In
stances the nominal charge for services is |
higher, the consumer now receives bet
ter equivalent than ever for his money,
Commonly, even the nominal charge Is
about the same, IS witness the following
case Of an ordinary service OF twenty feet
