AlimonY Allowed.

The court has handed down an opin-
ion in the Koontz will case, which has
created so much interest in this city
and elsewhere by reason of its unique
character and rarity of occurrence
1t grew out of the non-payment of ali
mony granted to Mary 9. Koontz upon
the allowance of divorce from her
husband, Edward s. Koontz, which up
to this time amounted to $1,000. This
sum had not been paid the plaintiff
and at the death of the late Edward
Koontz, and the filing of his last will
and testament, in which his son is
made the beneficiary. Mrs. Koontz
brought suit to recover what she
claimed was due her.
In 1885 Mr.. Koontz's father decided
him real estate valued at 5000. In
1896 he decided the property to his Sec
ond wife and her son. In January,
1897, Mrs. Koontz filed petition set
ting forth that Edward s. Koontz was
able to pay the arrears of alimOny al
lowed to her in 1879, which up to the
date of the petition aggregated the
sum of $1,000. The court allowed her
alimony for the period of twelve years
from the date of filing her petition,
which amounted to the sum of 81 1915,
and continuance of the So per week.
This case is an unusual one and at
tracted much attention in legal circles.

MAY D, 1881.
The entertainment which was to

until Saturday, May Sth.
Mrs. Mary L. Gaddess, of Baltimore,
gave lecture on health to ladies only,
under the auspices of the Maryland

Tuesday afternoon. Owing to the
rainy weather the attendance was not
very large.
Miss Addie Keller, formerly of this

her brother. John Keller, of this place.
Frank Remsburg, of Springfield,
Ohio, spent few days with relatives
in this place during the past week.
Vernon Hagan, son of Mr.. Peter
A. HagaD, of Washington, D. c., for
merly of this place, and John Softer,
also of Washington, arrived here
Oh Thursday of last week on their
wheels. They returned Friday.
Hon. Noah Bowlus, of Toledo, Ohio,
paid visit to his relatives in town
on Friday last. Mr.. Bowlus, who is a
stockholder in the Electric Railroad
thinks it should come down in the

We were panied to learn of the death
of Mrs. Eva Mann, wife of John
Mann, well known young farmer,
residing short distance south of town,
and son of the Rev. l.. A. Mann, of
Mercersburg, Pa, who for many years

ten-months old babe, went on visit
to her parents in Washington, d. c.,
where she was taken seriously ill.
She died Saturday morning last, after
being i'll but short time When she
left here she was apparently in good

all. She was buried on Monday last

Funeral of Mrs. Shaw-The Deed
Her Own Act.

The funeral of the late Mrs. E. E..
Shaw, whose mysterious suicide was
chronicled in last weeks CITIZEN, oc-
Cured from her home on West Patrick
street, on Sunday last. Her remains
were taken to Creagerstown for inter-
ment. The result of the coroner's jury
summoned to investigate this peculiar
case last Thursday and Friday came to
the conclusion that the deceased had
come to her death by her own hand.
Several witnesses were examined and
nothing was adduced to throw sus-
picion upon any one. 1t was certainly
an unusal and unprecedented case.
The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1897-05-07

Every man must patiently bide his
time. He must wait, not in listless
idleness, not in useless pastime, not in
querulous detection, but in constant,
steady and cheerful endeavor, always
willing, fulfilling and accomplishing
bis task, that, when the occasion comes.
he may be equal to the occasion. The
chief secret of success is nothing more
than doing what you can do well, with
out thought of fame 1t is very in
discreet and troublesome ambition
which cares so much about fame, about
what the world says of us, to be always
looking in the face of others for approx
al, to be always anxious about the eff
feet of what we do or say, to be always
shouting to hear the echoes of our own
voices. Cherish patience as your favor
tie virtue. Always keep it about you.
You will find use for it oftener than for
all the rest. Being patient is the hard
est work we have to do through life

The very heavy rain fall during the

pairs from the recent freshet have not
yet been completed at that point.
We keep up with the times. Our
Town Council, not to be surpassed by
more august bodies, now have dead
lock on their hands, the council being
tie politically since the resignation of
Mayor Shafer in March. All attempts
to elect successor have been futile.
1t is strange coincidence that of the
four Mayors elected by the people
since the incorporation of the town
but one, J. Il. Martin, served his entire
term. 1t is evident that the hOnors of
office haye but little attraction for our
leading citizens.
The political caldron is bubbling
along in quiet way. 1t is reported
that there are several gentlemen in
this and the adjoining district who are
aspiring to serve the people in the ca
pacity of Clerk to the Circuit Court
with candidates for MINOR offices in
proportion. Our Republican friends
seem. more interested the dropping
the plum at present. The storekeepers,
at the Ahalt and Horsey Distilleries
seem to be about agreed upon, but a
great deal of hustling is being indulg-
ed in for the Office of postmaster,
Messrs. John w. Porter, ]. w. Rench

candidates.
