WESTMINSTER FIGURING MILLS.
A Plan to Revive the Industry.

Albert L. Myer. trustee, has issued pros
pectus looking 10 organizing company under
the name of the 'WestminSter FIGURING Mills
of Carroll County" with Il capital stock Of
$50, 900, to be divided as follows SIS, 900 LIST
preferred stock, SIS, 600 of ID preferred
stock, and $4,000 common stock. TIE
shares are $50 each. The company is to be
managed by five directors, two to be elected
by the holders of the LIST preferred stock, one
by the holders of the End preferred. and two
by the holders of the common. The business
is to be managed by William s. and Thomas
r. Myer, and the salary of each is to be
81, 200 per annum.
After the expenses are paid the earnings
are first to be applied to paying dividend,
not exceeding six per cent, on the LIST pre-
ferred stock, then to paying six per cent on
the ID preferred and then to paying six per
cent. on the common stock. The property
costs some S67 600, but the trustee proposes
to pass the property over to the company IN
consideration of the I'd preferred and common
stock, $4,000.
Fifteen thousand dollars of the stock-the
LIST preferred-is all that is on the market,
and the people of Carroll are offered this at
par. The earnings, after the salaries are
paid. are to be devoted to paying six per
cent. dividend on this stock. If the earnings
exceed the necessary amount, $500, the bal
ance goes to paying dividends on the other
stock.
The mills not only would give employment
to considerable number of persons, but in
crease demand for wheat and make Westmin-
ster better wheat market. Farmers coming
here to sell wheat will buy their fertilizers,
implements and household supplies here. Al
together the revival of the industry would he
great advantage TO Westminster and the
county, and it is hoped that our people will
readily subscribe for the stock. Take one or
two shares, il you cannot take more. Six per
cent dividends are reasonably certain, as the
earnings will only have to reach 5000 to pay
that per cent. Further information may be
ascertained from Albert T. Myer, trustee,
jlG Falls avenue, Baltimore.

Kreider on a farm and conceived a pas

who rejected his advances and threatened
to inform her father. Early on the morn
ing of July 9TH be went to his uncle's

AFTERNOON SESSION.
QUEER TRICKS OF LA GRIPPE.
Sometimes it Heats Special Spots il
the Anatomy-Other Freaks.

Sometimes it Heats Special Spots in
the Anatomy-Other Freaks.
Each succeeding year that the grip
visits this country it displays some new
and surprising peculiarities, says the
Philadelphia Press. While the years
epidemic, according to the doctors, is of
a milder and less dangerous character
than it's predecessors, it has manifested
in it's unwelcome course a tendency to
play strange and curious tricks. Prob
ably the queerest case, and OF most inter-
est to physicians, is one that occurred at
the Jefferson Hospital. The patient was
suffering all the usual agonIes, which it
is needles to describe, for every one
knows what they are. Frightful head
aches were his chief complaint.
Doctor" he said one day, ''it seems to
me that there is spot on my head that is
burning like a red-hot coal. Can you
feel it ?" and he pointed to a place on his
forehead. The thermometer was ap-
piled and his temperature was registered
as normal. An application to the spot it
self, however, revealed the startling fact
that it was several degrees hotter than
the rest of his face. DR.. j. w. Hirst, a
resident physician at the hospital, eX-
planned that the tevered spot would ap
pear in different parts of the PATIENTS
head on different days and scarcely ever
in the same place.
DIR. William NJ. Angney, Assistant
! Medical Inspector of the Board of Health,
related a case that came under his obser-
vation where a prominent business man
of this city, nearing middle age, was
taken sick without warning and
exhibited the usual grip symp-
toms. When these had been success
| fully treated and while the patient ap-
peared to be rapidly recovering, the dis
ease suddenly located itself in the head
and produced such agonizing neuralgia
pains that the sufferers hair, dark
brown, changed in few days to an iron
gray.
Another queer case was experienced
ty DR.. 6. P. Skillern. In this instance
the patient was a younger man, and
after weeks sickness the cruel
visitor left him with very bald
head, although this part of his anat-
omy had heretofore been crowned with
quite plentiful supply of hair. Invig-
orators and hair-growers were alike un-
availing, and the hair stubbornly per-
sisted in dropping out IN small but sure
! quantities.
