Torbert in Hot Water.

He is bound TO place himself in that fix
of somebody, and when his smutty character,
personal and political, is exposed to public
view he snaps and snarls like toothless
cur driven to his kennel Mr.. Haines had
fair show of being elected till Torbert was
found championing his cause. Then the
people began to inquire and wonder if Tor
bert had been promised any thing. They
remembered how Davis had been stabbed by
this revenue Editor when he refused to
promise brother John" a place in the
Clerks office in the event of his election.
Torberts opposition no doubt helped to elect
Mr.. Davis, who succeeded by a handsome
majority. This trader in politics will cost
Mr.. Haines al least hundred republican
votes, and if he fails ofelection he will have
Torbert largely 10 blame, the fellow has
such an unsayory reputation that every body
begins TO sniff when he advocates a cause.
The mildew from his foul lips caused
Constable TO photograph him from the court
records, and the picture was about the
scurviest ever hung mp in Cecil county,
and might easily be mistaken as stray from
the rogue's gallery. AS if 10 confirm the
faithful likeness to the original Torberi
rushed into court, his only avenue OF retreat
left open. but was mighty careful 10 let his
bogus libel case get no further than the
docket, which was confirmation in place
of vindication. Notwithstanding this
warning his gall and innate moral rotten-
ness impelled him 10 continue his ISLANDERS
and DR.. Frazer next thrashed him in the
street for his foul abuse.
Having proven an utter failure as polit.
ical boss he concluded to take two years
course at Blarney Castle and next blossomed
out as Professor of EuIogy and Panegyric
and the living are disguised by bis fnlsome
laudation of the dead and panegyrics on all
from whom the hope of little revenue may
be drawn. There is snch sameness in al
these blarney epitaphs and encomiums thai
the people recognize they are all cut from
the same rattern, which he received as q
diploma when he licked the Barney stone.
The republican party Of Cecil need never
expect success while handicapped BY such a
soap bubble Of egotsm and vanity. He is q
bad egg and every body knows it. AT the
bare mention of his name the pubic hold.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure Deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infiamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing
and when it is entirely closed Deafness
is the result, and unless the iDt1amma
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored 10 its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an intlamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caus6d by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hairs

Mr.. EDITOR Taking an afternoon
stroll on Sunday last my attention was di-
rected to few persons standing around the

issues of your paper announcing temper

after such an extended notice, to find very
slim audience, large majority being ladies,
some of whom were from oxford, Lancaster

the West Nottingham meeting. AS it was,
several addresses were made by persons
apparently sincere in their desire 10 see the
license evil suppressed. The question nat
urally arises, why this lukewarmness in
fighting that monster evil, the grog shop,

been siormed and taken by the great army
of the brewer and distiller? This apathy
is attributed by persons TO the vacillation
and disregard Of consistency by persons of
influence and standing in different localities,
who fail TO practice what they preach, and
are TO be found in the same ranks with the
saloon keeper when the real fight of ballots
takes place. Now ifthe brewer, distiller,
and their lientenants, the saloon keeper, or
the man who sneaks into his place of bust

darkness, or he who loudly proclams him

terms of social equality and recipients Of
mites it certainly don't require the wisdom
of a Solomon to see that the advocacy of
prohibition by such inconsistent persons
amounts TO nothing more than a sounding

be consistent advocates Of prohibition, or total

of the brewer and distiller if "the heavens
should fall" and somebody get hurt.

CAMP OF THE BIG HORN IMPROVEMENT
COMPANY, SLEEPS CREEK CANYON
SHERIDAN Co, WYOMING, Oct. 8, 1898
This Company was formed by some CAPT
talisls of Omaha, for the purpose of TAX
ing out railroad ties, the mountain side:
here being covered with timber, prin-
cipally a species of white pine and fir.
The nearest railroad point will be some 10
miles eff, that being on the line of the
bennington & Missouri River f. r., lin
Neb.,) which is now graded up 10 the Mon
tana State line, and is designed to connect
with the Northern Pacific. In order tc
transport the ties TO the railroad it was
necessary to construct "fume" of lumber
about miles long, to reach the Tongue
river. Thence they will be conveyed by
water to the railroad. About 1000 feel
OF lumber was require to construct each
mile of flume; but this was altogether OBJ
tanned In reducing the logs for ties. They
have facilitis now for saving out 1000 ties q
day and 10000 #. of lum er, besides the
ties that are cut on the mountain sides toe
far from The mills. These are dressed where
the timber is fallen and hauled down to the
fume. Over $4,000 of the latter are nov
piled here, ready TO be thrown into the
fume, which carries them down very rap
idly, the fall being 300 feet to the mile.
The Company expect to obtain severa
millions of Ties in this canyon, and TO make
handsome profit out Of the enterprise
The altitude of the mills is over 1000 #. anc

The political proclivities of the
Oxford Press are strongly gold bugish
when it ventures a mild opinion on
political subjects.
"The so-called decentralization OF
silver in 1878" is quite original idea
of the Press. That act had no $50 called
about it, but clean cut demonstration
law supplemented in 1874 by an adj
ditional clause making the act little
more SO" if possible.
The Press closes its luminous "The

Over Two Millions of Interest
Drawing Debt on the
Homes of Cecil.

Mr.. Writ in his address on taxa
ton before the Cecil Farmers Club
on Wednesday, said 4: "There is over
a million of dollars invested In
mortgages in Cecil county, most Of
them on FARMS"
Look at the bank statements In
the county and you will find there
is more than million of dollars
invested in promisory notes held by
the banks drawing interest. How
can the people of this county pay
interest on over two millions of dol
lars and live They cant do 1t,
and in the near future must lose their

The Republican party is steadily
being driven out of the West and
South and will ere long be confined
to the eastern part of the country;
the debt owing section. The money
question is dividing the country on
geographical lines as well defined as
the slave and free states. The debt
holding aristocracy are making use
of the republican organization to
maintain in debt bondage the west
and south. as the slave aristocracy
used the democrat party to maintain
and extend chattle slavery. The fate
of the latter foreshadows the down
fall of the former.
