New Germany.

The glorious Fourth was gloriouslv
celebrated as it should be in patri-
otto and we'll regulated community.
The Sunday Schools of the M. E.
and Reformed churches were the
handspring in the happily conceived
and successfully conducted moye-
mpnt. The schools, with friends
from far and near, were on the
grounds in good time, and still they
continued to come. Horses were
decked with little flags, wagons,
buggies and carts loaded with laugh
ter. smiles and bursting baskets; the
young man, gallant and strong, ready
to be useful at the basket or in the
ring; the coy maiden. with cherries
on her lips, the rose and lily en- her
cheek and the cunning little bang in
her hair; the wise. grave and eau
tious parent, and the "hungry stran-
GER" all were there.
They had religious services, prayer,
beautiful singing and an appropriate
address by Rev. Evans.
Dinner? / guess they had. And
such a lot of nice, good things! Id
like to tell, but there is such strange
tickling sensation about my palate
that-well, I'd sooner not.
Then such fun as they had! A
swing? Yes. indeed. For little and
big! And such squeal OF delight
as somebody kicked "that limb"
The saddest and gIaddest play was
ring. Sad ? Well. you see, as you
stood in the ring dazed with smiles
and beauty, sweet somebody touch.
ed you gently and then off they ran.
Twas sad to part, but then you ran
after-you caught them. And oh,
how glad you both are. so glad to
meet that you both kiss for Joy. The
ribbon and the bang, the high, stiff
collar and the glossy shirt front
went into the game more primp and
faultless than when they came out.
In short, it was an enjoyable occas-
ion. Free lemonade in abundanee
made everybody happy. This was
evident from the fact that there was
a great smacking of lips-at least
near the "ring."

Frank Glotfelty, second son of
Mahlon Glotfelty near McHenry had
his arm torn off above the elbow one
day last week. He was engaged in
saving shingles and was caught in
the belt. Drs. Ravenscroft of Acct
dent and McComas, jr., of Oakland
were called and found that the bone
of the remaining part OF the arm was
broken in two places and the sinews
lacerated, and consequently ampu-
tated the arm at the shoulder joint.
The lad is about 15years Old, and is
doing as well as could be expected at
present writing.

WE KNOW the weather is hot, and
politics can't make much headway
with the people now. but our sug'
gestion of last week relative to the
organization of tariff clubs through
out the county ought to receive due
consideration. There is nothing like
thorough organization. So get to-
gether friends and prepare for the
fight. Don't wait until the nomlna-
lions are made, but begin now to
disseminate Republican ideas and
scatter Republican campaign litera-
ture and the harvest will take place
when the weather gets cooler and
depend upon it. the crop will be the
largest ever garnered in Garrett
County.

Webb, of the Red Wing, and his

Webb, of the Red Wing. and his
young lady companion had just jok-
ingly finished fastening life preserv-
ers to each other when the storm
struck the vessel. and the joke PROV
ed their salvation.
Two babies were found among the
dead last night. One of them was
cIasped in its mothers arms, while
the other was found under pile of
life preservers.
THE WORK OF RESCUE.
Under command of Adjutant Gen.
eral Mullen, the militia were put in
to service and worked nobly on the
wreck. The barge had been wrecked
back of the point which is known as
Maiden Rock and is anchored there.
The wreck of the steamer occurred
off this point and the very greatly
dsInantled wreck lifted over against
the barge. She lay over on the port
side and was broken almost into
kindling wood, although enough of
the frame work remained to hold
together and work on. At half past
ten the bodies of woman and a
child, to which ropes had been at
tached, were drawn from the water.
The child of John Winters. of Red
Wing. and Fred s. Winters, black
smith, were taken out few mo-
ments later.
Corporal b. L. Berry, of St. Paul,
saw the wreck early last night, and
at once hastened to the spot to rem
der such assistance as was possible.
Finding a man standing by boat
on the shore he asked to be taken
out into the storm to the overturning
boat. But when refused he threat
ened to kill him unless his orders
were obeyed, and with the help OF
his unwilling assistant saved the
lives of fifteen or sixteen women.
Adjutant General Mullen says the
man has earned a commission, From
early morning patrol of rowboats
was kept up all over the nelghbor-
hood of the wreck looking for bodies.
Battery A. of st, Paul. kept up a
canponading during the day trying
to raise the bodies, but without sue
cess. The little steam tug Wanderer
tried unsuccessfulIy to pull the
wreck apart, and then the Ethel
Howard came up the river and with
the valuable assistance of the LueIla
pulled apart the frame of what had
been the top of the steamer. The
Lucia then pulled the Sea Wing up
out of the water, releasing three
bodies, one woman and two young
men. Alice Palmer, of Trenton
was one of these, but the two men
had not been identified up to l
| O'Clock.

THE "PATHFINDER."
Gen. ]. C. Fremont Expires in New
York City.

York City.
Gen. John G. Fremont, the first
candidate of the Republican party for
President, died in New York city at
3; 80 O'Clock Sunday, July IL, Death
was due to inflammation of the bowels.
He was born in Savannah, Ga. JAM
uary q. 1913. After his fathers
death, which occurred in 1918. his
mother. with her family, removed
to Charleston, S. G. In 1880 he was
commissioned by President Van Bu-
rem as second lieutenant of topograph-
ical engineers. He went to WASH
ingtOn in 1910 and in 1912 he was in
structed by the War Department to
take charge of an expedition for the
exploration Of the Rocky Mountains.
He left Washington in MAY, of the
same year. and in four months had
carefully explored the South Pass and
the Wind River Mountains, ascend.
ing their highest point, (since known
as Fremont's Peak, 1880 feet.
In January, 1915, Fremont was
given the double brevet of first lieu
tenant and captain.
IN 1855 he settled in New York
with his family. He now began to
be mentioned as an anti-slaYery cam
didate for the presidency. In the
first national Republican convention
in Philadelphia, June II, 1856. he
was nominated for President of the
United States. In his letter of accet-
ance he advocated free labor and OPP
posed the extension of slavery. The
national American convention also
nominated him for the presidency.
Mr.. Buchanan defeated him at the
general election. Fremont received
votes from eleven States, including
the six New England States, New
York. Ohio, Michigan. Iowa and
Wisconsin. Maryland gave her eight
electoral votes for Mr.. Fillmore. The
popular vote for Fremont was ,341 =
600. In 1858 Fremont returned to
California, and in 1860 he revisited
Europe.
Soon after the beginning of the
civil war he was made major-gen-
eral of the regular army, and was
assigned the command of the newly
created Western department. He
fortified st. Louis. On August 10,
1861, he proclaimed martial law. ar
rested active secessiOnists, and sus-
pended the publication of papers
charged with disloyalty. Since 1864
Gen. Fremont, has taken little part
in public affairs. In 1881 he was
Governor of Arizona. He appeared
in the last national Republican cot {.
yention at Chicago and created a
great deal of enthusiasm. He was
made major-general and placed on
the retired list by the present Con-
gress.

The solicitude expressed for the
political fortunes of Hon. Louis +,
McComas by the Democratic press is
very amusing. To judge the situa-
ton from their standpoint one would
conclude that the better course for
Mr.. McComas to pursue is to quietly
step aside and surrender all claims
and pretentions for denomination.
If they think by the methods they
have adopted they will remove him
from the contest-literally scare him
from the race-they have assuredlv
reckoned without their host. The
trouble with the people on the other
side is, that in casting about for the
right sort of congressional timber,
they have not found one who is fool
hardy enough to stand up and face
McComas, and now their only hope
is to make it appear that terrible dis
sensions exist in our ranks, and if
possible, to create in this very way
the discord they know only exists in
their fertile Imagination and was not
born among the Republicans of the
old Sixth, and if successful in their
scheme secure the coveted prize.
The Republicans of Western Mary
land are not the people to turn
against their party simply to crafty
the wishes of their political foes.
Anybody can see through mill
stone that has hole in it. So we
say, Just keep right on the line you
are now pursuing and the result will
be closer union among the friends
of McComas and greater determina-
ton on their part to return him to
Congress.
The reference in his speech on the
Federal Election bill to the method
of appointing school commissioners
in Maryland, has wonderfully stirred
up his antagonists, and they insist
that when he stated that this right
had been Wrested from the people
and placed in the hands of the judges.
he thereby cast slur at the fairness
and uprightness of our courts and
held them up to the execration Of
the country. Here in Garrett the
leaders of the Democracy. not salts
fed with the fairness of the courts.
whose champion they have so sud-
denly become. took the appointment
of the commissioners away from the
Judges and placed it in the hands of
a partisan Governor, who does not
even deign to give minority repre-
sentation on the board, but constructs
and fashions it out Of simon-pure
Democrats alone.
This one instance of the extremes
to which the party in power in this
State has gone simply because it had
the power ought to be sufficient an.
swer to any criticism of the speech of
Mr.. McComas, and show to the peo-
pie at large the political sophistry of
those who have set themselves to
compass his downfall by undertaking
to covertly create discussions among
his friends.
Our esteemed contemporary, the
Mountain Democrat, reproduced an
article last week from the chief apos-
tie of this dissension movement, but

tanned. If he does, he too will wake

The Farmers and the Railroads i.

John G. Carlisle, in the Forum,
The farmers are more interested
than any other class of people in
the cheap construction and opera
ton of railroads, for they greatly
outnumber any other class, and fur
nish much the largest amount OF
freight to be carried The whole
cost OF transportation is deducted
from the prices of their products
whether sold at home or abroad.
and besides, they are frequently
compelled by county taxation to aid
in the construction Of the roads
The cost of the railroad constructed
and repaired during period OF
twelve years only was increased
21ss. .514,O04, by reason of the pro-
tective tariff on steel rails, and it
has been increased by many millions
Of dollars by the same policy in 9th
er periods. This was not only an
unjust and oppressive tax in the be-
ginning, but it constitutes a perna-
nent charge upon the peop9s, be-
cause the farmers and others who
travel and ship freight On these
roads must continue to HAY s,ch
rates as viii enable the companies
to pay interest upon their bonds and
declare dividends to their sfockbold-
ers.

and exact justice. We understand
that when President Lincoln signed

victory was assured, for he then COM

Had Mr.. Toombs said, which he did
not say, that he would call the roll
of his slaves at the foot of Bunker
hill he would have been foolish, for
he might have known that whenever
slavery became entangled in war it
must perish, and that the chattel in
human flesh ended forever in New
England when your fathers-not to
be blamed for parting with what
didn't pay-sold their slaves to our
tathers-not to be praised for know

Laughter. The relation of the
southern people with the negro are
close and cordial. We remember
with what fidelity for four years he
guarded our defenseless women and
children, whose husbands and faith
ers were fighting against his free
dom. To his eternal credit be it
said that whenever he struck a blow
for his own liberty he fought in open
battle and when at last he raised his
black and humble hands that the
shackles might be struck of, those
hands were innocent of wrong against
his helpless charges, and worthy to
be taken in loving grasp by every
man who honors loyalty and devo-
ton. [Applause.l Ruffians have
