Dogs.

We licensed (taxed) dogs in Cecil
county to save the sheep, but there
are fewer sheep in the county at this
time than when the tax law was first
passed. Taxing an evil never cures,
nor restricts it. Abolishing dogs
would be interfering W 18th the citizens
personal liberty. Would it really?
Suppose the dog was abolished ex-
cept for ''medical, mechanical and
scientific purposes ~ in two years
there would be probably million
sheep in the county. The wool alone
from those sheep at a moderate esti-
mate would bring annually into the
county half to three quarters of a
million dollars. That amount of
money distributed annually among
the farmers, and by the farmers
among the merchants, mechanics
iaborers, etc. would make old Cecil
boom as never before.
Farmers think about this matter.
II would make good subject to dis.
cuss in the grange. OF what advan-
tage are the dogs to the business of
the county? Very little, while the
disadvantage is immense.
Dogs are kept principally as pets.
Could they be abolished? We think
they could if the subject was properly
agitated. Farmers can do it if they
will.

The New Way.

Improvements and advancements
are the order of the day, and in
nothing more than in Clothing.
Don't we all remember the way we
we're clothed by our mothers? How
the "stuff' was bought. and the bags
called trowsers made? But why
dwell on this? The newest way is
to get your Clothing from some first
class, reliable and stylish Clothing
House and appear dressed, and as
well dressed as if a New York or
London Tailor had served your COM
mands. This can be done by Oehm's
Acme Hall, 5 and Z W. Baltimore
Street. Baltimore, Ma, whose i'm

The Whiskey Cases.

The whiskey cases at the last term
of Court were, Joshua Smith and
the Goodyear crowd, Smith is the
Rowlandville offender, his case was
continued for next term.
Luke Goodyear WAS convicted of
selling liquor to John Shivery, but
the Court granted him a new trial
and Luke was released on bail for
the December term of Court. Jos.
Goodyear was acquitted of the
charge of selling liquor to George
Shivery.
Whiskey selling in Cecil is like
the road to Jordan, a hard one to
travel And yet saloon friends say
prohibition doesn't prohibit.

Hot Weather Precautions.

The extreme heat of last week
suggests the fact that special pre-
caution is needed in the care of
health. Since the 10th of June there
has not been so high a degree of
heat. In fact, the entire spring and
summer so far have been relatively
cool. The quick descent of hot wave
weather, therefore, finds people I'M
prepared for the emergency and with
sudden changes again like on Sun
day night and then back to ''torridi-
ty'' again as suddenly makes the
danger imminent if proper precau
tions are not used. The greatest
danger arises from sunstroke or
physical collapse from the effects of
the heat, though we know of but one
case so far, that of Jas. Odbert. An
eminent authority upon the subject
remarks that people should heed
weather as they do the yellow flag of
small pox. These are the signs of
greater possibly fatal results, unless
relief from the strain of heat and
WEAKNESS is immediate. The advice
of the same authority is to "cool
off" upon the first feeling of light
ness in the head. Then moderate
exercise for few hours thereafter
will remove the danger. Dress light
ly and eat fruit and vegetables. Ice
water for drink and the lighter
viands for food is the ideal diet for
summer. BE careful of hot weather,
and il moderation in all things is
observed considerable comfort can
be obtained during 1t.

Our Cyclists.

Morgantown is developing a nota-

eral of the young men now owning
and riding wheels quite well and 9th
ers getting new ones and learning
the glide straddle 1t is sport
and recreation which is not
only conductive to good health
and develops the physical man, but
is enjoyable as well. Russ Huston
is the oldest cycler in town, that is
has had wheel longer, and is proba
bly, the best wheel artist Harry
Google is regular trickster on the
wheel and has his new machine un,
der perfect control. Ed Protzmar
rides safety as does also p. A. Shat
fer. Clark Pickenpaugh rides well
and George Hogue looks too cute fol
anything when elevated on a higf
wheel. Chauncey Huston, George
Steele, Jamie McGrew and Charlie
Kitchens are accomplished cyclists
Guy Brown, John Shisler, Wayne ant
Guy Wiley are the Juveniles who IL
pretty work on a wheel. Clark Hoffl
man and Dave Chadwick are learn
in to ride and about half a dozer
others have already ordered ma
chimes. We think we are destined
to have the best wheel town in the
State in proportion to population
and we are gratified to see the boys
taking an interest in the healthfu
pleasure.

Next Saturdays Game at Fairmont.

The ball game at Fairmont next
Saturday will be well attended by
Morgantowners, as four of our play
ers are to participate. The contest
will be hot one, as Wheeling is 60

Fairmont-M organtown combination
bite the dust, and the "eomo is 60
ing to wear her ball clothes that day
and try her level best to wrest an
other victory from the Nail City,
The Wheeling fellows didn't like il
at all about being beaten July A and
will come at the boys very mad.
The fair ground at Fairmont has
been laid off into beautiful bal
park, with dug-out diamond and al
other modern appurtenances condu
Give to scientific ball playing. Henry
Hayes, Grove O'Kelly and Nate and
John Kiger of this place are to play
