Fell to His Death.

Samuel Suter, one of the carpenters
employed in the erection of the new
school house at GAINESVILLE, had the
misfortune to slip and fall from the
roof of the building, early Wednesday
morning, and sustained injuries from
which he died few moments later.
The distance which the unto rtunate
young man fell was only about TWEEN
tv-five feet, but when he slipped he
was seen to lunge heavily forward and
shoot like a catapult to the ground,
striking head first with tremendous
force. The man breathed only once
or twice after he fell. An examinaa-
ton revealed the fact that the neck
had been broken. Mr.. Suter was
son-in-law of our fellow-toWnsman,
Mr.. lack Fleegle, and short time
ago was employed as wagon-maker IN
the shops of Elliott & Mason i'll the
east end of town. Deceased leaves

30 wears. Terr0 Alta Ordcte.
The remains of the young man was

FRIENDS of the public schools, the
bulwark Of our nation, when you go
to vote on Tuesday do not forget this
fact That a Democratic School
Board ran the schools of Garrett
county 10000 in debt. OF this debt
$4,000 was by Mr.. Getty, the German
candidate for State Senator, forced
upon the tax payers of Garrett coun-
ty after they had Overwhelmingly
voted it down. The remaining $12, 600
was paid by closing the schools. The
school term of one half the voters of
Garrett county to-day was shortened
by these two acts. Will you endorse
the action of Mr.. Getty in this matter
by now electing him to vote for Boss
German? We think not. Now is the
time to arouse in the strength of YOUR
manhood and show Mr.. Getty and the
ring that you have not forgotten the
terrible wrong you received from him
in by gone days.
In this connection do not forget
That the present iniquitous, UNEQUAL
and Infamous distribution of the pub
lie school fund is a Democratic meas
ure and that they have opposed laws
looking to the remedy of this terrible
evil, whilst Senator Ravenscroft. dur
ing his two terms, worked and voted
for bill which would have corrected
this wrong.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1897-10-28

Is it not a fact that Mr.. Gettyin
1874 and again in 1882 had laws enat-
ed which increased the Demoesic
sheriff fees about 81 per cent?
Is it not a fact dso that in 576
when we had a Democratic surysor
and Mr.. Getty was member othe
Senate the surveyo's pay wasin-
creased from 81 to $5per day?
In 1882 with Mr.. Getty in the en-
ate and a Democratic crier ofthe
court, was not thecrier's pay in
creased from Sc to $3oer day?
In 1882 when we hd a DemocHtic
sheriff and the Democratic ring was
looking about for placs for the faith
full with Mr.. Getty sti in the senate,
was not a law enactednaking prOyis-
ion for the appointment of a warden
for the jail at the eXpnse of tibet tax
payers?
is it not a fact that wen Mr.. GETTY

with a Democratic boal Of county
commissioners elected, vas not the
per diem of the county cmmissioners
increased from So to Stand the

salaries of the judges Oh yM y.
Court increased from Ss1t VI. 80
per day, and their mileagen based
from 81 cents over five milar< ents

SO we might continue hg&s to
the voters of Garrett couhNdher
items taken from the recordtd&rove
that Mr.. Getty has not bea blthe

in the interest of the taElHwrs.
These are a few samples of l@ pass

trade and silver money" was the cry
OF would-be reformers. The Repub-
llcan party said to the voters of the
land, Give us your suffrage and we
Will give you prosperity" The ma
ton accepted the offer, and TODAY
we are in the midst of great prosper
ity.
Two years ago the Republican party
promised certain reforms if placed in
power. The election placed in power
Republican governor and Iegis!a-
ture. Have these promises been kept,
es, to the letter. It is astonishing
how much has been accomplished in
two years. One illustration ONLY need
be given to prove this. What an
Improvement in our public schools
The school term heightened out from
seven weeks to five and one-half
months. Voters, just think of it.
The last school term under Demo-
cratic administration was reduced 10
seven weeks The Republican board
Is planning to increase the term to
seven month or more. Again, under
Republican administration we have
free school books. Under Democratic
administration free books were talked
about, and that was all. All honor
to Republican legislature for this |
blessing to our children. Who wants |
togo back to the old way of doing
things? A vote for Senator Ravens
croft and Messrs. Moon and Jacobs
means greater advance in school |
They will see that no
bonds are forced upon the taxpayers |
las in former days against their will.
What can we expect to gain by
voting for a single Democrat and
against a nominee of the Repub-
lican party? Take the ticket, name
by name and compare it with the
ticket put forth by the Democratic
party, and you must admit the supe-
riority of the Republican ticket. The
nominees on the Republican ticket
are worthy the support Of each and
every voter in Garrett county. The
Democrats are making no public can
vass-holding no public meetings
throughout the county, but making
a private canvass where they think
they can SOW seeds OF discOrd and win
a vote for their candidates, especially

VOTERS of Garrett, when you go to
vote ON Tuesday next think of the
fact that with DR.. Rayenscroft in the
Senate and Republican members IN
the House of Delegates during the
past four years they secured for our
schools appropriations amounting to
more than 1922, 900. This exceeds any
record in the history of our county
Are you in favor of justice to our
schools? Then vote for the Republi-
can Legislative ticket. The candi-
dates on that ticket will continue the
good and you will make no mistake.

Machine orators may crate by the
hour and scribblers scribble by the
column in the effort to persuade the
people to support their candidates. but
they can't get away from the fact that
German and Rasin are behind these
candidates; that German and Rasin
and all that they involve, are the real
issues of the campaign. Which of
A these candidates will dare to repu
diate them even now before the cleo
ktion? Not one. And if they will not
do so now. when they are before the
people asking for support, is it reason
able to suppose that they will 90 50
after election, when they are safely
installed in office and can defy the
popular will? Nay, verify. German,
the opponent of ballot reform, the
representative of machine rule and
machine methods, and Rasin, his
friend and partner, are the real issues
of the campaign. A vote for their
candidates is a vote for them. Let
every man who desires better things
in this state remember that.

Senator Wellington in an author
lied and correct interview published
in the Baltimore sun on Tuesday,
October Goth, said:-''i cannot believe
that the people of Maryland will re
verse the tremendous maj0rities Of
1895 and 1896 when they have this
year two vital issues at stake instead
of one, as in each of those two years.
This year, by their vote, they are de-
termined, first, whether the German
Rasin ring is to be revived and again
placed in possession of the STAGE; and,
secondly, whether Maryland is to be
represented in the Senate of the Unit
ed States by a man known to be abso-
lutely for sound money.
you may say for me that when
the votes are counted on the second
of November that Maryland will be
found occupying the same position
she did in 1896-safe in the sound
money column

TAXPAYERS of Garrett, do not for

county ($1.58A was under a Demo

Miss Cora Brenneman, youngest
daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs. Joel Bren-
neman, of Bittinger, this county, died
Saturday morning, October 23d, aged
sixteen years, ten months and twenty
three days. The cause of her death
is not generally known. She first
complained of being sick on Tuesday
night, and on Thursday DR.. Ravens
croft, of Accident, was called, but was
unable to determine the fatal disease.
The funeral took place on Sunday at
3 p. m, at the Bittinger church.
Cora was a bright and intelligent
girl, and was loved and respected by
all who knew her. She was a member
of the Lutheran church, and Il close
follower of Christ. Shortly before
she died she told her mother that all
was well, and at the same time rails
ing upon her knees in the bed, clasped
her arms around her mothers neck
and asked her to pray for her, and
after repeating the Lords prayer
twice in loud, clear tones, she told her
mother that she was going to her
Jesus, and quietly passed away. She
leaves a large circle of relatives and
friends who deeply mourn her loss,
and may the bereaved family who SO
deeply mourn the loss of this loved
one find comfort in her last words
that she is only gone to her Jesus to
await their coming, and may God in
his infinite mercy so guide and direct
them in this life that they may meet
their loved one where parting is
known no more, is the prayer Of the
writer.
She is gone! She is gone.
Oh! how sad it must be,
70 father and mother so dear;
But soon He will call you
Your daughter to see,
BE ready; the time may be near.

1t was during the summer of 1898 that
Edward Nereker and Evey, his friends

He was staying with the Lancasters
down in Surrey, in their pretty little
red house on the edge Of the pretty
little blue river, and David was going
up and down to London every day. be
cause it was yet early and the various
vacations and holidays had not begun.
So he and she were left good deal on
one another's hands. Satan found mis-
chief. not for those idle hands, but idle
eyes for that summer ones hands re-
manned in ones lap. and it was too hot
even to talk; but it is as easy to look at
ones neighbor as to stare blankly into
space. and eyes can do a great deal by
themselves. take it altogether.
So these two sat in the shady garden
under the big cedars and looked at
one another for want of something
| better to do. and found the occupation
suffice for all their needs.
Evey Lancaster was a good woman
by nature not by art. mean she was
naturally good, and had not become so
by trying very hard. She had been well
brought up; she read decent books, and,
therefore, only a few. and she meant
every word of her share in the marriage
service.
But alas! and alas! she was a woman,
and a pretty one, and Edward Vereker
was good-looking, and a man, though
