II. & O, Again Leads,

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company again leads its competitors
in the amount of eastbound tonnage.
Last weeks total eastbound tonnage
aggregated 81, $50 actual tons, and the
percentages carried by the 10 joint
traffic lines were: Baltimore and Ohio,
1876 per cent; Lake Shore, 11.8; Michi-
gan Central, 1915; Fort Wayne, IA;
Panhandle, 81; P. G. & st. L., II;
Grand Trunk, 1912; Erie, iii; Wabash
SO; Big Four, 81.
The fact that the B. & o. carried
the biggest portion of the tonnage
has caused further comment in rail
road circles. That that road should
lead other roads is marveled at, al
though official denial is given of the
reports that the heavy tonnage of late
hauled by that company was secured
by rate-cutting.

and finally had gone down into the
vale of physical pain, perhaps even to
the gates of death, with a brave cour-
age to welcome him to his indepen-
dent earthly existence. Do you not
believe the hottest of feelings would
have been aroused in that child's
heart, and henceforth to him mother
would be the tenderest, hottest word,
and love and marriage be symbolic of
unselfish loyalty and most sacred re-
sponsibility? When the sweet story
fell upon the ear of one child, he
threw his arms around his mothers
neck, eXclaiming, Now, mamma, I
know why love you best of all the
world.'n
No apology is needed for bringing
in this subject here. Just as lin
tensest love begets the fiercest hate, -
so the uplift and the downfall of our
race both are implied in sex differ
ences. Homes and all the associated
arts that so to adOrn and sustain
them take their origin primarily from
the fact that man seeks woman for
his own, and she takes him for her
self alone. Yet those very sex differ
ences, through misrepresentation of
all that they mean, through the Grim
inal silence of parents, through the
prurient prudery of the professedly
pure, are fateful to overthrow and
render null and void all the grandeur
that is possible in our race. These
differences are at once the Heaven
and Hades of our life, and wise is he
who chooses the path that is right,
and blessed be they who guide him
therein.

Monday afternoon on the lookout
for news THE REPUBLICAN was
shown by Col. A. g. Sturgiss a num-
Der of Confederate bills in denomina-
lions from so cents to 800. One of
the bills for 800 was issued at Rich
mond Aug. 18th, 1862 which bore on
its face promise to pay interest al
the rate of two cents per day. On
the reverse side of the bill there is
stamped certificate that the inter
est had been paid to January 1st,
1865 A calculation was made and it
was shown that from the time the bill
had been issued the aggregate of in
terest paid by the Confederate gov
eminent to January list, 1865,
amounted to 81, 100. This immense
sum for the use of one hundred dol
lars for less than thirty months was
of course paid in Confederate money.
Col. Sturgiss has also in his posses
sion an original copy of the Nary
Iand Journal and Baltimore hdcer-
tiSer dated Friday, Aug. 90, 1773.
This paper is in an excellent state of
preservation, and came into the pos
session of Col. Sturgiss along with q
number of other relics belonging to
the late George Wagner, of MOngan-
town, w. Va.

A Scientific Problem.

A problem is now being discussed
in the columns of the Washington
Star by volunteer correspondents
which may have some interest for
such of the readers of THE REPUBLI-
CAN as are attending school and
studying the physician sciences. We
should be glad to publish any solu-
lions of the problem, or comments
thereon, that may be furnished, pro-
vided they are not too long. The
question is this:
Suppose that a hole were bored
perpendicularly through the earth,
and a hundred pound cannon ball
dropped into the hole, where would
it finally rest? Or would it continue
to vibrate from the one side to the
other?

NO ONE LIKES THEM.
A Lively Account of Carp Fishing at Shep-
herdstown.

A Lively Account of Carp Fishing at Shep-
herdstown.
A Shepherdstown, w. Va, special
to the New York Sun says:
Local fisherman often tried to
catch the big carp with hook and
line, but nothing in the way of bait
was ever found to tempt them until
E. D. Bowley set his wits to work.
Mr.. Bowley struck a combination
that proved irresistible to the carp.
He took the green tops of young
garlic and chopped them up very
fine, and mixed them with cornmeal
and made a sort of dough. He sewed
the dough up in mosquito netting,
making the Jumps about as big as
the end of his finger, and fastened
hooks inside. With this bait he pro
ceeded to Dam No. land cast his line
into big basin where the carp could
be seen plunging and putting as they
disported themselves il the water.
In about two minutes Mr.. Bowley
had a bite, and when he began to reel
in he thought he had a mule. His
bait had been taken by tremendous
carp, and it was only after a half
hours spirited struggle that he land
ed his fish. 1t was a big German carp
that weighed exactly twenty-four
pounds, and some of its scales were
almost as large as silver dollar. Mr..
Bowley threw in again, and his bait
was Immediately taken by another
huge fish, weighing about twenty
pounds. By noon he had caught
eight of the monsters, varying in
wight from eighteen TO thirty-two
pounds. The last one he hooked
! ended the days sport. Although he
didn't have any opportunity to weigh
it, Mr.. Bowley thinks the fish must
have been a forty-pounder at least.
He hooked it firmly, but the big fell
low was so strong that Mr. Bowley
was forced to follow it into the water
almost waist deep. By slow degrees
he reeled it toward him, and by the
time the slack had been taken out of
all but about ten feet of the line the
fisherman was pretty well exhausted
Just at this time the fish made a rush
at Mr. Bowley, and passing between
his legs gave a mighty flirt that
tumbled him headforemost into the
water. By the time the fisherman
had scrambled ashore and got his
breath the fish was far down the
river. The fish Mr.. Bowley ha(
caught made a good sized Wagon
load and he was generous to hi
friends in Shepherdstown. The carr
were cooked in every style, but after
one meal no one could be found wht
was enthusiastically in favor of tn
carp as food fish. The unanimou
opinion was that it took artistic cook
ing and extra good sauce to make
palatable. Other fishermen tried MI
Bowley's bait with more or less sue
cess, and some persons have foun
that the carp bite well on green corn
fresh from the cob. But no one goe
to much trouble to catch them be
cause they are worth nothing afte
they are caught"

The long looked for '97 bicycle
models have put in an appearance.
In general they look much like the
model of last year, but there are sew
eral improvements in detail. The
drank-hanger is lower so that the
chain runs down hill. The main por-
ton of the frame of one of the highest
grade machines is made of nickel-steel
tubing one and one-eighth inches in
diameter. The rear forks are of D.
tubing. The joints are flush. The
sprocket wheel has five spokes, and
the fiange to which the spocket is
screwed is part of the crank forging
The barrel hubs have stubs inserted
to receive the spokes, so that there
will be no bend in the spoke at the
point of contact. The tubing used
for the handle bar is larger and the
ball bearings are of larger size. The
bearings are dust proof and fitted with
self oiling felt pads which will keep
the bearings fabricated for a year.
There are improvements in the mud
guards and in the seat posts.

About Good Roads.

Constant dropping wears away
stones" and it is only by constant
reminders by the press that the pub
lie mind can be brought to the sensi-
BILE conclusion that good roads are
among Americas essentials. They
are not merely wheelmen's wants, but
wants demanded by the comfort and
convenience of everybody. 1t does
not by any means follow that because
a man has not a team of his own, or
does not ride a wheel, that he has not
a direct personal interest in the i'm
provement of roads. European coun-
tries have long recognized their
merits, and for centuries in some por-
tions have enjoyed their benefits.
We, in America, have only begun to
appreciate, and mainly in the imme-
date vicinity Of large cities, their
great Importance.
The Importance of the subject de-
mands much widespread feeling
Vi luUeIeSl. w I41S tlle AREA VI Glo
United States is too immense and the
population too sparse to hope for
many years to come, for a general
good roads system, yet great progress
can be made in sections of the country
where farmers are prosperous, and
where they have occasion to use
roads to a considerable extent in
order to get the products of their
farms to railroad stations for ship
ment to large cities and towns. Were
it possible to estimate the dollar and
cent extra cost for repairs to wagons
and carriages, the wear and tear of
horse, mule and OK flesh over wretch
ed roads, and the delays caused in
winter by their impassability, the
aggregate would be startling, and
would, we feel assured, aggregate a
sum far in excess of what would be
needed to provide good roads and
keep them in good condition. And
if, to the economy referred to, be
added the increased value of property
and last, but not least, the comfort OF
farmers and their families, there
would be overwhelming argument in
favor of immediate action. The work
is stupendous one, when viewed as
a whole, but a beginning once made
and the advantages clearly demon
strated, there would be steady i'm
provement.-West Chester (Pa.) Re.

A Girl Who Shoots Deer.

Deer and wild turkeys are more nu-
merous in the mountains of Maryland
and West Virginia this season than
for several years. A number of Phil
adelphia and Baltimore sportsmen
have had great luck shooting in Allie
gany and Garrett counties For the
first season in twelve years deer are
plentiful within Is or 90 miles of
Cumberland.
Susie Harness, of Gardensville, w.
Va, is one of the best shots on the
mountains. She is a tall, handsome
girl, and has made a record in deer
hunting. Hunters from five or six
states have their camps pitched in
Hampshire county, West Virginia,
which section seems to afford the best
sport. Pheasants are scarce, much
to the regret of the wing shooters.
lack Laney, of Cumberland, who
was the leading spirit in the move
ment to restock the surrounding
country with cartridges, says that
the birds brought from Missouri last
spring and put into the fields in care
of various farmers, have been doing
very well, and he hears of conveys in
a number of places. The restocking
will continue. Several hundred pairs
are to be ordered. Garrett county is
overrun with squirrels and rabbits.

IN THE PATH OF A CYCLONE.
PERRY, o. T., Nov. 80. - News
reached here of a destructive cyclone
at Ralston, small town on the Ar

left in the town. Mrs. Dorman and
two small children were killed and
many were wounded The large store
of j. H. Conner was blown down and
in Foley's livery barn Is head of horses
were killed.
In Payne county, so miles east of
here, many farmhouses were laid low
and several persons were wounded.
After doing its work at Ralston, the
storm crossed the Arkansas river and
struck the Usage Indian nation, and
for 90 miles northeast took everything
in its path. 1t seems to have gone to
pieces there. The path of the storm
was about a quarter of mile wide.
