Stay East, Young Man !

1t is estimated that 10000 settler:
in Western Nebraska and Eastern Col
orado have been forced to quit their
premises this year on account OF long
continued drought. By loading al
their belongings on covered wagons
and coming east of the Mississippi
they hope the better to exc out an
existence and escape the hardships OF
winter on the prairie. They will no
doubt return to their deserted western
homes as soon as any prospect of get,
ing a living from the soil is among
the probabilities.

A PREACHER ROBBED.

We were about to say that when
professional burglars deliberately plan
to rob preachers it is time for a re-
duction in their salaries. But the oc-
casion Of burglary of preacher to
which we are about to refer was really
mistake on the part of the profess
ional. If preacher Jones had been at
home it is not likely that he would
ever have been robbed. Unfortunately
he and his wife were sleeping at
another mans house-p-esumably a
man who had something worth steal
ing. Accordingly, at about the fashion.
able hour for burglary (three o'clock
in the morning) four masked men
quietly entered the house of Milton
Townsend, where Rev. David Jones
and wife were sleeping, and, lighting
lamp to prevent stumbling, they
stealthily reached the bedside Of the
pious couple, and aroused them far
enough for them to fully realize the
immediate presence of danger lurking
in the big revolvers they held over
them, cautioning them in the mean
time to remain quiet until they saw
what could be found worth taking.
Besides the wearing apparel Of Rev.
Jones they also found considerable
money in his pockets that is said to
belong to the Episcopal church of
New Brighton, Pa. Mrs. Jones is re-
ported as very i'll from the fright. AS
rule preachers are not burglarized.
And where they are we always think
there is something wrong either with
the preacher or the burglar.

No! long since William Patrick, a
Farmland in New Fairfield, attempt
ed an indecent assault on a little six.
year old girl, Lucy Landsiedel. Being
detected and pursued by Elmer
Pearce and VIM. Riley he tried to kill
them by stabbing Pearce three times
and kicking Riley with all his might
before submitting to arrest. The fiend
is thirty-five years of age. Meeting
the little girl on the road he caught
her and dragged her into the woods
near by. Her cries brought Pearce
and Riley and ultimately her father
to her rescue. Right here we are an
archist enough to say shoot such vii
lains where ever found, and give them
no opportunity in the formalities of
arrest and Imprisonment to injure
those whose duty il is to arrest them
and shield them against the wounded
sentiment that would take their omtal
and fendish lives. Such characters
may be worthy Of protection until
positive guilt is established where
doubt prevails but when caught in
the act, shoot them, we say.

Mr.. Harry Sloan and Bruce Clark
went fishing Now we find upon in
quiry among those acquainted with
the habits of the fish and fishers of
this vicinity that this is remarkable
coincidence. Though they started out
in right good trim for business, just
how they came back nobody seems
to know for certain. But if such harm
less recreation leaves them nor the
fish of Fishingcreek any the weaker
for it, whose business is it anyhow,
we should like to know.

Democratic Voters of Columbia Count,

GENTLEMEN AT the request of a
few personal and political friends l
announced my name as candidate for
the Office of Sheriff. In making a
canvass of the county l had the pleas
ure of meeting and making the ac-
quaintance of many of you. While
the labor was hard and expense con-
siderable, do not regret the fight.
l now know, and you have an idea,
what it is to fight ring composed of
nearly all the public officials, both
great and small. l admire and shall
always remember with gratitude the
manner in which you rallied to my
support and almost won victory over
the combined efforts of nearly all the
public officials in this bailiwick, both
county and federal, backed by the
magic power of "boss, Doodle, and
beer" While we lost the fight we
need not be dismayed. / am still a
Democrat, and have confidence in the
people, and that they will in due time
correct the evils that prevailed at the
late primaries. | would rather be a
private citizen all my life than win an
Office by doubtful methods.
To those of you who stood so no
bly by me with your sympathy and
support, | wish to return my sincere
thanks, believing that have done
nothing that will cause you to regret
your action.
Yours sincerely,
w. w. BLACK.

A Young Man Badly Cut.

The Hagerstown Herald of Saturday
last says: Yesterday afternoon, shortly
before dark, Ross Fayman, young
brakeman on the Western Maryland
Railroad, was stabbed in Ewers saloon,
South Jonathan street. Ned Stanhope
is charged with the deed and it is stated
that he has left town. According to
Mr.. Ewers reported statement, the
trouble between the two men occurred
in the room back of the saloon and was
witnessed by no one. Previously the
men with several friends were in the
saloon proper conversing all around as
the best of friends. A squabble was
heard in the back room and upon in
vestigation it was found that Fayman
was bleeding profusely from two
wounds caused by knife. The most
serious cut was across the breast and
within quarter of an inch of the
heart. The second wound was across
the thumb. The injured man was
taken to the Office of DR.. A. S. Mason
who dressed the wounds, Afterwards
he tainted on a sofa in the lobby ofthe
Hamilton. No serious results are
anticipated

Led Away From Sin.

A band of evangelists calling them
selves Christian Workers" has been
engaged in public and private religious
work in Hagerstown for several weeks
past, and there have been some strange
conversions as result of their labors.
One of the most sensational scenes was
enacted last Sunday evening The
band had been conducting services at
the jail and were returning by way Of
North Jonathan street. Not far from
the jail, in the region Familiarity known
as the "Bowery," they stopped before
the house of woman named Mollie
Miller, in front of which were sitting
two girls, inmates of the house. Mrs,
Salome Cameron, member of the band
started to talk with the girls, when
one of them rose and retreated into
the house. The other, known as Mag
gle Colbert, remained outside and lis
tened to the pleadings of the evangel-
lists to leave the house and endeavor
to lead better life. A large crowd
gathered and the evangelists continued
their intercessions in spite of vigorous
protest on the part Of the mistress of
the house. The half-penitent woman
was urged to return to the house by
the mistress and other inmates. The
crowd divided in their appeals, some
calling out to the woman to go in and
others urging her to leave the place.
After prayer and intercession and sing
ing for an hour, the workers won and
the girl consented to 60 with them.
She wore loose wrapper and was
bareheaded. One of the women of
the party, rather than have the girl 60
back into the house to dress, gave the
girl her own coat and hat. The girl
was accompanied to the Mansion House
followed by crowd of men and boys.
She said her name was Maggie Cub
bege, that she was seventeen years old,
that her home is near Shenandoah,
Va, that her father is a farmer and
that she is one of seven children. She
said she was beguiled to Hagerstown
by the mistress of a house, at which
she remained only few weeks, under
the impression that she was to be en-
ployed as domestic in family. Cir
cumstances influenced her to a life of
shame. She wept as she told her story.
The girl remained at Christian home
in the city with one of the evangelists,
and next morning she invested Rev.
Edmund Walton with the powers of
guardian. Mr.. Walton, accompanied
by Officer Saylor, went to the Jonathan
street house and got the girls clothing;
the mistress surrendered them without
opposition. The girl has been placed
in home in Baltimore, with the view
of eventually restoring her to society
and her parents or relatives.
