THIS is the WAY the Bacon Goes.


On Wednesday night of last week
there was another bold and success
full robbery by the daring gang of
burglars that are operating i'll this
county The place this time was the
Leetown neighborhood, and it was
the smokehouse of Mrs. Mary +. Bow
ers that was invaded. A fine horse
was taken from the stable of Mr.. Zeph
Bane, and the thief or thieves used
the animal to carry off the plumber.
About 200 pounds of choice hams and
shoulders and lot Of dried beef We're
stolen. The horse was found in the
public road the next morning near
Mr.. Bane's, showing evidence of hay
ing been ridden pretty hard. These
robberies have assumed such proper
tons that they are becoming serious,
and few farmers sleep well at nights
now.

The Canal.

The Canal
The receivers Of the Chesapeake &
Ohio Canal at their session in Ha-
gerstown, latter part of last week
elected Mr.. A. J. Lowndes, of Balti-
more, as secretary, who at once took
charge of the office and its contents
Mr.. Patterson, the engineer who was
directed some time ago to go over the
route of the canal and gain a genera
idea Of its condition, reported that
the three worst breaks in the canal
were at Log Wall, ten miles west Of
Georgetown, at Dam No. 4, and at
Harper's Ferry. He was under the
impression that the lower portion Of
the canal cannot be used for rail
road bed. The receivers determined
to make this week personal inspec-
ton of the entire line of the canal,
accompanied by their engineer. They
will travel on foot and horse back,
and will spend a week at the work.

WAsHINGToN, Feb. 19.-The twenty

made by Mrs. Eliza beth Cady Stanton,
Hon. William Dudley Foulk of Indiana,
Mrs Isabella Beecher Hooker, Mary
Seymour Howell and Laura Ormiston
Chant. Mrs. Colby; OF Nebraska, read
a series of resolutions which inpart re-
ferred to divorce and demands that
there be no further Legislation on the

resolution was one throwing down
woman gauntlet to the church, as fol-
lows:
''ResOlUed, That the time has come for
women to demand Of the church the same
equal recognition she demands of the state,

she must be before we can have happy home,

Dom Pedro, the depoSed emperor of
Brazil, has been the recipient of as
great tribute as was probably ever
paid TO human character and integ-
rity. Though driven out of his coun-
try because his presence there was re-
garded as an insuperable obstruction
To the establishment of the Republic,
upon which the people are supposed TO
have set their hearts, yet no sooner is
that Republic safely anchored than
the people turn 10 their beloved old
sovereign and recognizing him as ever
their truest and ablest friend. with
one voice ask him TO come back and
accept the presidency of the new Re-
public. 1t is hoped, in behalf of hui

cannot fail greatly to enhance the
character of the Brazilian people in

ALBANY, \. Y, Feb. l0.-The world Z
fair conference report was adopted in
the Assembly by vote of ll9 to |, Mr..
King, OF New York, voting in the mega
tive.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-It is use.
less to deny the fact that the
compromise between Plat and De-
pew in New York seriously al
ters the situation of the worlds fair
bill, but the Chicago people have no
reason to be disheartened. New York
comes back into the race, and the condi-
tiOns that existed four weeks ago are
resumed. Illinois congressman all
agree that it is now an even fight not
withstanding the compromise in New
York, and are willing to take vote at
any time. They rest securely upon the
pledges they have received from their
fellow-members and expect gains upon
the second or third ballot.
An arrangement has been effected in
regard to the division OF time among
the friends of the various cities striving
for the worlds fair. Under this arrange
ment each of the cities will have one
hour on Thursday and half an hour on
Friday. The chairman, Mr.. Gambler,
reserves for himself one hour on each
day, which he will allot to friends and
opponents OF ANY fair at all New
York will first be heard. St Louis next,
Chicago third and Washington will have
the closing remarks.
New YORK. Feb. l9.-The Post says
editorially that If the worlds fair bill
is passed as drawn up giving the COM
mission power to condemn real estate
the matter will be taken to the courts
and the litigation will probably last un-
til after 1892. 1t says eminent counsel
have already been engaged by certain
property holders for the purpose.

Picture moldng Of the same kind OF wood
in which the house is finished should be pro-
vided for all plastered walls Of the house, ex-
cepting those Of kitchens, pantries and

ure holdings are in bad taste. They do not
appear to be part Of the house, and are in
violent contrast with other details of the
room. II is agreeable to place the picture
molding on level with the tops of the doors.
In such an instance the decoration Of the
walls either by colored plaster, tinting or
papering may he made to depend for its ef-
fsctiveness upon the treatment OF the sur
faces above and below the picture molding.

The speech of Mrs. Elliott at the
Farmers Institute, especially that
part Of it whore she attended to the
mortgage Indebtedness of farmers, APP
pears have stirred up some OF the
apologistS for war tax in days Of
peace. The Times in reply, quotes
from the Illinois State Journal the
statement that the total value of the
product Of the farmers of Illinois for
1899 grain, hay, livestock, etc, etc. J
would pay the entire Indebtedness of
the farms and leave a surplus of $780,

of 81 an acre after paying their mort

man might do that much. But no
man has yet discovered just how TO do
this. Yet this is just what the III

the farmers TO do, when they say the
products of the farms for one year-not

An OUTLAW Captured.

CARTHAGE, ILL.,, Feb. 19.-Advices re.
ceived here say that Sheriff Huston, Of
Macomb, H., has arrested Zach Wilson,
q noted outlaw. Wilson murdered an
old man named Thomas Mcdonald at
Plymouth, ILL.,, in 1875. He was in
dicted and arrested, but secured a
change of venue to McDonough County,
where he escaped from the Macomb Jail
in 1879 and has since been fugitive in
California and Arkansas.
