Church Trouble in woodsboro'.

Matters in the Lutheran Church in
Woodsboro' are not pursuing the even
tenor of their way, as should be ex-
pected from a religious institution. 1t
seems that the pastor, Rev. r. 5. Pat
terson. believes in plain talk, and re-
Gently from the pulpit reproved sew
eral members of his congregation for
attending a dance and indulging in
its frivolous amusements, and said that
they could consider themselves dis
missed from the church. He also lect-
ured the choir for talking, etc. Great
feeling exists and a compromise is not
vet in sight. The pastor is firm in his
course aud says he is right. Many diff
fer with him.

Dangers of the Grip.

The greatest danger from La Grippe
is of its resulting IN pneumonia. If
reasonable care is used, however, and
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy taken,
all danger will be avoided. Among
the tens of thousands who have used
this remedy for la grippe, we have yet
to learn of single case having resulted
in pneumonia, which shows conclu-
sively that this remedy is certain
preventive of that dread disease. It
will effect permanent cure in less
time than any other treatment. The

tuberculosis in Frederick County
Cattle.

The State Live Stock Sanitary
Board held a meeting recently at the
Merchants Bank Building, in Balti-
more, says the San:
DIR. Clements reported that he had
been on visit to Frederick County,
where he had been requested to exam
inc herd of nine cattle He found
eight of the herd suffering from tuber-
culosis. Under the present law there
is no means by which the disease can
be stamped out.
The board is now gathering data as
to what it will cost to have the cattle
of the State examined and to ascer-
tain to what extent the disease pre-
walls. This estimate when completed
will be given to Governor Lowndes,
who may designate some course for
the board to follow until the meeting
of the next General Assembly, which
will probably be asked to make a suf-
ficient appropriation.

A Change in Telephones.

The fact that the old Telephone
Company was unwilling to content
itself with a fair profit upon its invest
ment in this county has caused num-
bers of its subscribers to leave it TO
exchange it for the new telephone.
The increased number of messages to
Baltimore after the legislative re-
strictions were removed did much to
render it very unpopular. The reas-
enable rates of the new telephone is
making it very popular. This should
be-a warning to the new company to
treat all with fair consideration and
secure first.clasa service.

Decrease in Horses and Mules.

An exchange says: 1t is strange that
the number of horses on the farms Ia
the United States should have decreas-
ed so largely during the last three or
four years. namely, from 1906 1902 in
1898 TO IA, 346,667 at the present time.
That they should have decreased Ia
the cities was to be expected, but there
is no explanation why they should de-
crease on the farms unless fewer Of
them are raised because of their de-
creased value. During the time named
the value of the farm horses has de-
creased from 1892, 225, 1856 to $452, 648,-
1896. The decrease In the number Of
mules has been less, namely. from 2, :
352, 23l to 2,2l5,654. Their valuation
has decreased nearly so per cent.
