KENT COUNTY.

Burglars recently entered six residences
at Clayton, and stole clothing and eatables.
Seventy per cent of the wheat of Kent
county is in the fields, and the continuous
rains are destrying the crop.
During the recent hailstorm John R.
Pratt. residing near Kenton, picked up
enough hailstones Of the size of guinea
eggs to freeze ice cream for supper.
Big yields of wheat are reported from all
parts of Kent county, the estimate for Mis-.
pillon hundred being 200, 1000 bushels. The
same proportion in the other hundreds
would make the total for the county
100000 bushels. William Hurley, had 3e
bushels to the acre; G. A. Miilinston, 351
bushels; John B. Wharton, 81 bushels, and
William Butler, 81 275 bushels.
A correspondent from Bowers to the

est citizens of this community that the
mosquitoes never in their recollection were
as thick as they are at the present time. II

Famous sprinrs at Dea,. park.

A million and half gallons of the pur-
est water on earth, is the daily output Of
the famous Boiling Springs in Garret County
Maryland In order that nothing can con-
taminate the Springs, one hundred acres of
land surrounding it, are fenced in. In ad-
dition, wire building covers the Springs,
SO that leaves cannot fall into the water.
It's from hese.axtraordinary Springs that
Deer Park Hotel receives lis water supply,
the water being piped direct to the hotel.
The medical fraternity now concede that in
the matter of health. the question of pure
water stands at the head and front. No
summer rest combines so many healthful
features. The alr is wonderfully pure and
invigorating; cool nights, with absolutely
no mosquitoes; the finest cuisine, with per
feet sanitary arrangements. makes Deer
Park Hotel the ideal resort.

ROBERT AND SOLOMON.

'Seest thou a man wise in his own con-
26-12
There is neither fairness, nor justice,
nor honor in the discussion of the
Smyrna "Times" with the TRAN
SCRIPT. He said two weeks ago, "the
TRANSCRIPT takes over column and
half of space to reyamp the old
senatorial fight of two years ago,' and
proceeded in the same sentence to viIify
ex-senator Higgins. We showed that
we had only incidentally referred to the
ex-senator using less than eight lines,
and that of the "eolumn and half"
tWo-tbirds of it was quoted from the
''Times." We expected fair expla-
nation by the s'Times," having quoted
his article entire, but instead here is
what he says:
The editor OF the MiddletoWn TRAN
SCRIPT says he did not write column
and a-half of space on the Senator ial
question, but did have that much spac Q
filed on the subject, only using half a
column In editorial comment. III that
is the kind of construction he puts on
space devoted to single subject he is
welcome to 1t, but the fact of subject
and space remains jnst the same.
We have stated nothing but plain
facts and If Solomon did not have Rob-
ert in his mind when he wrote our
quotation then we are much mistaken
Robert and men like him.
But further Mr.. Hoffecker deliber-
ately misrepresented US in saying that
we had reflected in that article on M,
J. 81. Hoffecker; we quoted the words
and invited the "Times" to quote the
same and thus set us right. He re-
fused to do SO but renews the charge
as an offence in the past, recalling in
mind the quotation Of something dur
ing the campaign. This is the act of
a Christian gentleman, holding highof-
ncial relations In the church, and since
he has embraced Addicksism, upholds
boodleism, SC, he undoubtedly,
thinks it Is right treatment.
Solomon evidently thought differently.
We hope reception may bear fruit. We
would not treat any man ae the
"Times" has treated US, much less to
deal with "friend" after this manner.

HOW Smear IL Whitanad .

The way in which sugar is made perfect
ly white, it is said. was found out in cur.
ious way: A hen that had gone through a
clay mud pul die went with her muddy feet
into sugar house. 1t was observed by
some that where the tracks were the sugar
was whitened. This led to some expert.
ments. The result was that wet clay came
to be used in refining sugar.
It's used in this way; The sugar is put
into earthen jars, shaped as you see the
sugar loaves are. The larger ends inward
The smaller ends have hole in them. The
jar is filled with sugar, the clay is put over
the top and kept wet. The moisture goes
down through the sugar and drops from the
hole in small end of the jar. This makes
the sugar perfectly white.

is personal property. She died intestate and
Haydn S. Cole, of the law firm of Stevens,
OBrien, Cole & Albrecht, was appointed
administrator of the estate. Last September
Waters filed his claim to the estate alleging
that Mrs. MintZer was his wife. The admin
istrator has just filed, in the probate court,
a petition for an order requiring Waters to
show cause why a portion of the estate,
to wit: The sum Of $4,000 should not be
distributed among the heirs of the deceased,
most OF whom live in Pennsylvania. \ hear
ing on the petition will take place next Tues
day before Judge Wilrch.
Harvey Officer is the attorney for Waters.
Mr.. Waters says he married Mrs. Mintzer
in 1890. The records of the district court
show that on Sept. g. 1890, a license was
issued for the marriage of Joseph Waters and
Anna R. Mintzer. But there was no return
made required by law. The day after
the license was issued Mrs. Mintzer appeared
in the office of the clerk Of courts, then held
by II. T. OCOnnor and declared she had
never authorized Waters to get a license to
marry her.
Waters. it is understood says that Justice
of the Peace Burgess performed the ceremony.
But as Mr.. Burgess is now an inmate Of
tho Rochester asylum, his testimony might be
deemed incompetent one way or the other.
Mrs. Mintzer was the widow of William L..
Mintzer who was born in Philadelphia in
1878 and died in st. Paul in 1884.

Comptroller McCardy Admits 1t, and
the Evil Is Corrected So as to
Sustain Mr. Kirke.

The conference committee finished
its labors with the estimate for the
1898 tax budget as presented by the
comptroller yesterday. The amount to
be raised by taxation as adopted by
the conference committee is $751; 97 less
than the sum allowed by the council
for the 1897 budget. The figures as
presented by the comptroller called for
a total of 81, 723, 1927, which was decreas-
ed $375,000 by deducting the estimated
receipts to the general fund, leaving
the total to be raised by taxation at
81, S4S, 827. When the conference COM
mittee took hold of the estimate Mon
day afternoon the comptroller inform
ed the members that any increase in
the amount would result in the tax
levy rate being increased. In the face
of this, an attempt was made to put
in the estimate, under the head Of
bridge repair fund, $63, 500 for the start
ing Of fund for the widening of the
south end Of the Wabasha street
bridge. The engineers estimate for
this Improvement was 100000, and,
while those favoring the improvement
realized that the conference commit
tee would not raise the estimate to the
full amount, a strong fight was made
to get 500, 500 placed in the budget. The
result was that, after discussing the
question the better part of three af-
ternoons, the sum of 100000 was added
as a starter for the fund to be used
for the construction of the new part
of the bridge. An additional $4,000
was added for repairs on other bridges
to the amount submitted nv the CONN.,
troller making the total for the bridge
repair fund $4,000, as against $4,000
In the comptrollers estimate. To this
increase of $4,000 was added by the
conference committee $4,000 more to
the lighting fund, for the purpose of
putting in 1000 Welsbach gas burners
These two additions increased the
comptroller's estimate just SAC, 000 but
the amount was reduced to 1884, 900 by
the comptroller discovering that he
had made an error of $10,0 600 in the fire
department estimate, and the reduc-
ton of the building inspectors allow
ance from $500 to $780, When the
conference committee finished, the es-
innate was just $4,000 larger than as
submitted by the comptroller. The fol-
items as submitted by the comptroller
and as adopted by the conference COM
mittee.
The budget, as adopted by the con-
ference committee, will be now turned
over to the council, which has the
power to change the various items for
each department as in it's judgment is
deemed necessary:
