Making Money.

The most rapid process formaking
money under present conditions, is
by locking up money. 1t is rapidly
increasing in value as property falls
in price. A little money will now
purchase a large amount of pro-
perty, and those who are in pos
session of large sums of money are
practicing this art. Railroads and
large business concerns of all kinds
are in debt to the great banking
and monied capitalists, which by
the quiet magic of interest have
got the most of available money into
their possession. They have to
but withhold further "accommoda-
tions," and these big concerns GO
into receivers hands, from that they
in the end must so to sale. The
money holders bid what they please
and there is nobody to bid against
them. They are getting and will
continue to get the property at a
song, and soon will own the country
or all that is worth owning in it.
The CALLING fact is that q large part
of these purchasers are foreign
money kings.

Railroad Accident at Oxford.

A number of Rising Sun visitors
who drove to Oxford last Wednes-
day to attend the ball game were
surprised at the sight which met
their gaze on crossing the railroad
at Chase street, Oxford. 1t was
dead horse, another one badly
gashed and demolished wagon.
The 2 O'Clock nothbound passenger
train had just run into e. ID. John
sons team as he was crossing the
railroad at that. place. Johnson
Jumped in time to save his life and
escaped with a few bruises. He
did not see the train until he was
on the track, the view southwark
being shut off by Dickey & Co.'s
coal bins. He was hauling wheat
at the time and was returning tC
his farm in Lower Oxford fol
another load. 1t is said that his
brother had a very narrow escape
from similar accident only a few
weeks before,

Then and Now.

A farmer said the other day
while discussing the hard times
that in 1873 he sold wheat to the
mills in this neighhorhood for ST.
a bushel; corn for IS cents; potatoes
for 80 cents; oats straw for $3.50
a ton, and mixed hay for 1874.
In 1888 the local market at
Rising Sun as published in the
Rising Sun Journal. Wheat $1.00
a bushel; corn SO cents; oats 80
cents. Cows sold at vendues fol-
$50 to 800. At another sale they
are quoted $50, $54, $75, 5000.
David Waring sold IA cows for
$S43.50. The highest price paid
was $50 and the lowest $44. These
sales occurred in October 1888.
The Baltimore quotations for the
same time were, wheat $1.11-1.07;
corn, southern white 64-67cts; corn,
yellow 63-64cts; oats, 35-37cts; hay,
$l5-S17; wheat straw, $7-$S; cattle,
So. $3.50. This drop was the decline
in ten years after silver was de-
monetized. To-day, Is years later
all farmers know what the prices
have fallen to of these staple crops
of the farm. AS silver fell the
price of the farmers crops fell. II
the demonstration of silver did not
cause these ruinous results what
did? No other satisfactory answer
has ever been given.

Board, as required by law, added
$40 to it, payable to G. N. Davis,
trustee.
George Biles was appointed as
trustee of No. 5, Fourth district, in
place of William Hogan, deceased,
who Tor years has given devoted

pie, No. 2, Sixth district; Maggie
P. Lakeland, No. 3, Ninth district;

$50 on account of the High School
building.
Mr.. Ash was ordered to reopen
the Back Creek Neck school, No.
s, Second district, with Miss Laura

number of scholars having been
promised.
The matter of furnishing free
books to the scholars was taken up
with last Winter term as a basis.
There were 1908 scholars in attend
ance of whom 9O7 paid the book
fee, 1866 found their own books
and 1746 held free permits. Of
the 1856 who furnished their own
books, 576 were in the first grade,
34S in the second, 375 in the third,
2S4 in the fourth, 1853 in the fifth,
50 in the sixth, 81 above the sixth
and 125 whose grade is not re-
ported, showing that those who
furnished their own books were, as
a general thing, small children. In
the future all teachers are directed
and required to send their book
orders to the Secretary, Mr.. Biddle,
at Elkton, instead of the Commits
sioners. Teachers must say to
where and by what route books
shall be sent.
Whereas, the act known as the
"Free Book Law" supplies text
books only, and is not sufficient for
that purpose,
Resolved, That in view of all the
circumstances, this Board will en-
deavor to supply, until otherwise
ordered, all books and stationery
that may be necessary.

Base Ball.

Oxford's crack team of college
players went down before the home
team on Saturday afternoon last
The game was played at Oxford and
brought out a large crowd as con.
siderable rivalry exists between the
two clubs. The Marylanders were
strengthened by Todd and Gibson,
of Havre de Grace, as a battery,
and the left hand twirling of the
former was complete enigma to
| Pennsylvanians, who were unable
to connect with his puzzling drops
and speedy shoots, fifteen of them
striking out and but two safe hits
being made off him. Speaker, for
Oxford, pitched a good game, the
Sun batters failing to hit him with
any effect after the first inning,
when four safe drives, coupled with
some ragged work in the field by
their opponents, let in three runs,
which lead was never overcome.
Both teams played good ball after
the first inning. The score:

Base hits-oxford 2; Rising SUM- s. Errors

A second game was played by the
same clubs on Wednesday when
Oxford turned the tables. Todd
was not in the best of form and
the fielders behind him made errors
at critical times, which, with some
timely hits, let in runs. Speaker
kept the hits scattered and received
sharper support from his fielders.
Kane carried off the batting honors
for Oxford with four hits, two of
them being wo-baggers, while Glib
son for Rising Sun put the ball in
deep left field for a home run. The
score:

STRIKEN WITH PARALYSIS
Serious Mishap to Mr.. Gus Kendall
Formerly of This City.

H.. G.. Balch who has just returned
from Montana brings ews Of a serious
affection which happened to Mr.. Gus
Kendall a few days ago..
Last Tuesday, Mr.. Kendall arose
from his bed and while performing his
usual morning ab%lutions, found himself
suddenly deprived of the use of his left
limb. Not realizing that anything seri-
Jus was the matter he concluded to
rest for a while, thinking the trouble
would o o pass away. A short time
after he again arose only to find him
self completely bereft Of the use of the
member. Medical assistance was called
in and after making an examination
the physicians announced that Mr..
Kendall had been stricken with paraly-
sis. Whether the trouble was caused
by the rupture Of a blood vessel in the
brain or a blood clot, is something that
has not yet been determined. At all
events the condition Of Mr.. Kendall is
quite serious and while he still retains
complete control of his %perceptive fac
ulties, there is no telling how deep
rooted the trouble may be.
The physicians believe that he will
soon regain the active use Of the limb
which Is something that MI. Kendall's
many friends here, earnestly hope for.

FULL DETAILS OF THE RECENT
TRAGEDY NEAR GREEN
RIVER.
Frank Adams of Dixon, Wyo., Shot to
Death By a Mexican S~heepherder
While Guarding His Water Rights
Other State News of More or Less
Importance.

The recent murder on Slate creek.
says the Green River Star, about 40
miles north OF this city, has attracted
considerable attention as both Clark
Hamp, jr.. the boy who was killed, and
Perry Wisdom. the man who commit
ted the crime. are well known IN this
place.
On account of the location of the
place it has not been possible to get the
exact particulars of the affair until this
week, which are as follows:
Perry Wisdom and the father of
Clark Hamp own a joint ditch hat is
used for 'irrigating both their ranches.
On Thursday, July I'd, Wisdom was
turning the water from the ditch when
Hamp came up and told him that he
was taking more water than he was en-
tf,led to and in the controversy called
Wisdom a liar, upon which Wisdom
struck Hamp on the fore part of the
head with the fiat side of the shovel,
knocking him over into the ditch. AS
soon as he saw what he had done. he
picked Hamp up, in an insensible con-
dition, and he was carried to his faith
er's house. where he laid unconscious
until Sunday morning, at which time
he died.
Wisdom waited upon him until his
death and fully realized what he had
done. He stated that he had no
thought of killing Hamp at the time he
hit him and was overcome with grief,
importuning all present to kill him for
what he had done. On the Sunday fol-
lowing he went to Opal, on the Oregon
Short Line, for the purpose of giving
himself up to the officers of Uinta
county. but as there was no one there
that was authorized to take him he left
for parts unknown. Wisdom was a
brother-in-law of Hamp, which makes
the act more deplorable.
