SENATOR GETTY would have us
believe that he would represent the
dear people of Garrett if they only
elect him to the State Senate, but
how was it a few years ago when Mr.,
Getty had a bill passed living the
people of Garrett the right to say
whether or not they would be willing
to bond the county for about $4,000
which the Democratic school board
had run in debt: Did the people
(whOm Mr.. Getty is now so anxious to
represent not vote against the bonds
by very decisive vote-abOut three
to one? Did Mr.. Getty not say at the
following session of the legislature by
his actions at least, the people of the
county who elected me as Senator
have said they are not in favor Of
bonding the county for this indebted
ness, but | will run this thing to suit
myself The county shall be bonded"
And is it not a matter of record that
he did get law enacted compelling
the county commissioners to bond
the county for debt contracted by
an inefficient and incompetent school
board, and our schools have been
suffering ever since on account of
such action? No, Mr.. Getty, We will
leave you at home this time and send
some one who riU represent the
people of our county.

IT LOOKS as though the Democratic
party in Ohio would have a half
dozen wings and factions before the
Ohio campaign is over A large and
very intelligent element of the party
refused to indorse the silver platform
and candidate, and has made its own
platform and nomination. The Pop
ulists who co-Operated with the Dem
Ocrats last year have also made their
own platform and nomination. Now
it appears that that element of the
Democratic party which adopted the
free-silver plank of the Chicago utter
ance as it's platform is again dividing.
The latest reports from Ohio indicate
that John Il. Mclean, who entered
the senatorial fight as a silver man,
has advised the abandonment of the
silver issue, and that this has caused
about an equal division of that section
of the Democracy which originally
supported the free-silver platform
adopted at Columbus in July. 1t
thus appears that the once solid Dem
ocracy of Ohio is now being rent in
to at least four different fragments,
there is no telling how many more
explosions may occur before election.

r. A. RAVENSCROFT, our candidate
for State Senator, although a young
man. has been tried and not found
wanting. He during his term i'll the
Senate. assisted by the members OF
the House of Delegates, worked hard
for the schools of our county, they
having obtained by special apprOpri-
ations sixteen thousand dollars, and
with the amount withheld from the
county on account of not keeping the
schools open the seven and one-half
months required by law, Garrett
county received during the two SEES
sions of 1894 and 1896, more than
twenty-five thousand dollars for our
schools. Senator Ravenscroft is also
pledged to a redistribution of the
school fund; to a repeal of the unjust,
iniquitOus and outrageous law by
which our county is treated so badly,
that one county gets $14.40 per capita
attendance at their schools, while
Garrett gets $3.50 per capita. Dr.
Ravenscroft will do what he can fol
our people. He stands well with the
leaders of the state, is well and favor
ably known and will have an infu
ence in the State Senate that will tel
favorably for the welfare of om
county. Republicans, let US all gel

good majority.

The weather still continues fine,
giving the farmers a good OppOrtu-

Mrs. Innman and children, daugh-
ter of Archibald Dewitt, who has
been in the west for several years,
is visiting her old home and many
friends in this neighbOrhood. We
wish them pleasant and profitable
visit
The sing at Hoyes on Thursday
was great treat to all in attendance
who love music, as it was conducted
by Profs. Smith and Groves, two of
the best singers and most talented
musicians in the country.
Prof. Smith is always a very wei
come visitor at Hoyes, as his fine So
cial qualities has endeared him to us
all.
Mr.. Editor, in penning the few lines
in a previous issue of your valuable
paper in commentator of the Hoyes
class at the singing contest held at
GAINESVILLE, w. Va, a few Sundays
ago, we did not mean any discourtesy
to the Sang Run class, or to invite
controversy, but since your Sang Run
correspondent has thrown down the
gauntlet we feel it our imperative
duty to say a few words more in favor
of the victors. We never like to re-
joice over a vanquished foe, and
wishing to let our worthy and talent
ed opponents in that great and mem
orable contest down as easily as
possible and without wOunding the
feelings of anyone, we used the
word "rumor.n Now, we do not
base our claims to victory on the
opinion of some Rip Van Wrinkle to
the world of progress and advance
ment around him, and whose powers
of hearing have been so dulled and
impaired by his long sleep that he
could not fully appreciate the sweet
melodies so elegantly and happily
rendered by our class, but on the
confession of one of their own class,
and that one an authority in music,
and one of the very best vocalists in
the class. Our worthy opponent
speaks of our worst singers being
discarded and that theirs were allow
ed to sing. Now in making this
acknowledgements your correspond
ent from Sang Run virtually acknowl-
edges defeat, us we have no bad ones
in our class and hence must of neces-
sity have won first hOnOrs. We
are not going to import, as this is
not necessary, as our talent here is
equal to the greatest emergency,

FRIENDSVILLE'S FIRST FIRE.
| 1t Originated in Barn and Threatened
the Business Section of the Town.

1t Originated in Barn and Threatened
the Business Section of the Town.
Wednesday evening last Friends
vile had her first experience with fire,
which at one time threatened to burn
the business center of the town, but
by dint of hard work and the near
ness of the river which furnished
good supply of water the fire was CON
fined to two stables, a warehouse and
dwelling.
The fire was discovered at eight
o'clock in the hay NOV of Mr.. VIM.
H. H. Friends's barn, situated in the
center of the town. The barn was
surrounded by the best buildings in
| Friendsville and had it spread a few
feet further in either direction the
! loss would have been considerable
more than it was. Before it was got
ten under control it had burned the
buildings above enumerated belong
ing which was owned by Mr.. Noah
Humbertson and occupied by Mrs. s..
Hughes who conducted a grocery and
! Boarding house. The loss has not
vet been estimated, but it will
amount to several hundred dollars.
This being the first fire Friendsville
has experienced the people were
almost totally unprepared to extin-
guish it, but all things considered be
ing handicapped by the absence OF
hose, hooks or ladders, it is surpris
ing that more damage was not sus
. tanned. Whilst a bucket brigade is
better than nothing an engine and {
, line of hose would be far better anC
the people Of every town making any
} pretentions whatever as a tow
r. should be thoroughly prepared t
fight fire.

A Cheek Raised.

Mr.. Lewis GOrtner, the Second
street merchant, was made victim
to the amount of over thirty dollars
by slick individual on last Saturday
morning. The man, who represented
himself as being Charles Miller, went
into Mr. Gortner's store and made a
small purchase, in payment OF which
he rendered Mr.. GOrtner a check on
the Whitehaven Savings Bank drawn
bv the Preston Lumber Company, for
So, 80. Mr.. Gortner not having the
amount in hand, sent a clerk to the
bank here where it was cashed. Not
until after Miller had left town did
| the fact that the check was a bogus
! one come out, when an investigation
revealed that it was originally drawn
| to the order of Charles DicherSOn and
for the amount of $3.50 Dickerson''
name had been deXterOusly erased
from the check and Miller'S substitu
ted and the amount raised from S9.S(
was satisfied that he had been dupeC
he swore out warrant for the arrest
OF Charles Miller, who is none Other
than Dickerson, but the bird haC
flown. Mr.. GOrtner went up to the
lumber camp where Dickerson ha(
been employed but was informed
there that he had gone to Oakland
Saturday morning. As a result o
the transaction Mr.. Gortner is Sc
many dollars poorer.

made the shrewdest forecasts of the
currents of popular thought, remarks
the "Watchlnan' (Baptl OF Boston.
Twenty-Five years ago the Roman
theologians and statesmen saw that re-
lfgious discussion was to center about
the question of certainty in matters of
faith. They determined TO erect a pos
tive, external standard. and the doc
trine of papal infallbiity was promul-
gated. AS a piece OF ecclesiastical
craftsmanship that was q course OF
prod igfous wisdom. We doubt IL many
of the Protestants who condemn the.
arrogance, the unreason, and blasphe-
my of that decree realize the extent TO
which that doctrine has been the bull
wark OF the revival of Romanism dur
ing the last twenty years. On the 9TH
er hand, the Protestant world has been
the arena of jangling parties When
a high doctrine of the Inspiration of
the Scriptures was abandoned by many
religious leaders, there was nothing to
fall back upon. In the popular
thought, all doctrines were equally mat
ters of opinion The tendency to mag
nifty the Importance of creeds was CO.
incident with the acceptance of a low
view of inspiration. The tactics re-
sorted to We're natural but unwise.

The scene was arranged as for the

room in what was supposed to be the
home Of man Of culture and refine
ment There We're however, no hand
some furnishings as yet, and il was
learned that two rickety chairs repre-
scented q sofa, while a wooden bench
did duty for a piano. Near the foot
lights, intently watching every move
ment made and every word uttered by
the aotcrs were two men, apparently
diametrically opposite in every way.
One was a Joking individual of
about fifty years with an iron-gray
mustache. a ruddy complexion, and a
voice like the below of frightened
steer; the other was a blonde, slight,
bespectacled young man, who might
pass for a theological student without
the aid of wardrobe or makeup. They
were Mckee Rankin and George H.
Broadhurst. respectively the stage
manager and the author OF What
Happened to Jones'" the comedy which
was in rehearsal.
What has been often referred to as
the glamour of the footlights was no
where to be seen. The footlights Were
there-white, REL, and green electric
lamps. looking like the dull, express
sionIess eyes of some NEUROLOGICAL
beast-but they did not glamour in the
least degree. In the semi darkness two
women and one man could be discerned
The women were minus paint and
powder, which are so necessary when
the stage is fully lighted, and in place
OF the dashing gowns revealed 10 an
audience they were dressed in the plain
est and most simple manner. The man
had dfvested himself OF coat and vest
and stood revealed in all the glory of
