down in the law. l have known Messrs.
Simmons and Webster for great many
years and ] would be very much de.
Geived in their integrity should they
do otherwise than grant our request.

such franchise rights through the
General Assembly which would enable
US to operate our line, and after six
years of struggle we we're granted the
right of Sixth street, and l trust such
little thing should mot interfere with

Salisbury, Md, A ug. 20. -Sharptown,
in Wicumico county, is in a state OF
great excitement over an assault on

daughter of John II. Parks, one of the
most highly respected citizens of the
place, was at the store of Mr.. Crouch.
when Jethro Robertson called her to
the door, and giving her several pieces
of money to help him bug some corn,
induced her to start up the road toward
his house. On the way she became
alarmed at something he said to her
ana started TO run back, but he grabbed
hor and carried her, struggling to a
shed near by. The girl finally managed
TO escape, and in a bleeding and shock
ing condition ran to her home. She
told her story, and her father, together
with several citizens, went tn the home
OF Robertson and placed him under ar
rest. DIR. j. A. Wright was called in
to make an examination and found the
| girl badly maltreated, and in danger
GUS condition.
The prisoner was given hearing to
day before Justice Of the Peace Levin

The Work to be Carried ON Permanently by
the Street and sewer Department.
The Street anu Sewer Department
has embarked permanently into the
matter Of spTinklipg the streets aDd
avenues. The department has owned
two spriDalers for some time, hut only
one was available for street purposes,
the other being used for flushing sewers.
The additional one purchased few
weeks ago has been thoroughly tested
and after proving satisfactory has been
placed in regular service, 30 that now
there are two regularly engaged IN the
work.
All of the macadamizoh streets aud
avenues will he given special attention,
while the brick paved streets will be
given their share and the aprinslers
will be ssnt TO any part OF the business
or residence sections of the city where
complaint ia made about annoyance
from dust, People diving along the
throughfarea which arc now being
sprinkled regularly, and teamsters hRv-
ing buHinesHthere are very we'll pleased
with the innovation.
The cost to the department is about
$40 per day, while the actual cost to
the city is even less, as small portion
of this money 10 paid to the Water De-
partment for the water used and event
ually reverts TO the city treasury. The
cost OF thu driver aud horses for each
sprinkler is 3d. 80 per day, or 81 per day
for operating both OF them. The addi-
tional So represents ths amount paid to
the Water Department and tbs wear
and tear on the tanks, which, of course,
ia not very great.
The sprinkling will be continued
throughout the dry season, and an effort
will be made to have the duet kept
down until nature performs the work III

Last week we mentioned the case of
Henry Lovenheimer, of Ross Couty, who
was swindled out of 500 by an Indian.
apolis 30 called surgical institute. In.
dianapolis physicians denounce the
institution as fraud, and, so says the
Leader Gazette, q prominent medical
journal has taken the matter up and
will lead the fight made to bring the
parties who are operating it into the
courts. Mr.. Lovensheimer is not the
only victim caught in Ross County, q
large number of people who felt that
their systems needed renovating having
fallen into the trap set by the willy ad-
vance agents and bottles of 49," 49,"
1885," etc. can be found in more than
one medicine chest.
The institution against which the war
is waged, has taken advantage of the
reputation made by one of the largest
surgical institutions in the country,
located at indianapolis, and sll of their
advertising matter is gotten up in pre-.
cisely the same manner.

by the House caucus. The people
couldn't vote as they pleased. They
had to choose the less violent of two
lunatics. For years crowd of fellows
dominated the Republican party in Kan
sas, whose motto was "Molases catches
more flies than vinegar" As q result
the state platform was more like a fly
trap than q declaration of Republican
principles. These gentlemen saw that
Kansas was built on the installment
plan, to be paid for in small monthly
payments. They preached bogus way
out of debt, because they believed that
it was sure way into office. They used
to tip.toe around the delegates at con.
ventions telling them what was the
smooth thing" to put in the platform.
These political economists OF the soft
soap school would stand proudly on a
platform recommending moonshine as a
legal tender, endorsing astrology, de
claring for blue grass and the barefoot
cure, pledging the party to vegeta' ian
ism, and whooping it up for the free and
unlimited coinage of hap-doodle. Think
of what Kansas escaped with these ghost
dancers leading the conservative party
for half dozen a years. The wonder is
not that the state went for Bryan. but
that it did not 20 for the Rev. Irl Hicks
and George Francis Train.
When the national Republican party
last fall demanded honor and courage
from its men this ''smooth thing" gAns
in Kansas organized itself into phalanx
that came tumbling head over heels into
the Populist party. They left Kansas
to vote as she pleased. And when the
people were sure that these film fiam

largest Republican vote ever polled sincs

We used oftel ! to wonder at the cause
Of the occasional suddenness of death by
paralysis. But now it's all as plain to
US as day. The Chillicothe Leader
Gazette explains it in referring to case
in that city. 1t says the fatal paralysis
was "due to the plugging of the left syl.
Wan artery leading to the arm and
speech centers, located on the middle
third of the. ascending and middle three.
fifth of thetparietal convolutions and the
posterior part of the third left frontal
convolution of the BRAIN" OF course,
any man would fall dead with that. He
couldn't help it. Now that the mystery

barnacles scraped of the Republican
ship, they were 30 glad to find q party
above its politicians, that they piled up

triple alliance of greed, anarchy and

That is why 1 came 90 far to tell you
that Kansas is all right. Don't worry
about the Kansas man. If he happens
to be Populist he is no worse than the
Ohio Popnlist. When you wake up in
the silent watches of the night and begin
to fret over the moral decay of the l70,-
600 Kansas men who lined up with Mr..
Bryan, turn over and 60 to sleep resting
in the sweet assurance that there were
474, 900 men in Ohio, who did the same
awful thing. When your children trem-
BILE at the tales of the terrible atrocities
Of Jerry Simpson, of Kansas, soothe
their childish fears with the honeyed
words of wisdom that drip from the in
spired lips J. Coxey, of Ohio. Re-
member that Pop in anystate is just -
sweet. Populism is not Kansas CON-
plaint. 1t is in the blood of men.
Sometimes it becomes epidemic. Then,
too often, it brings out all the envy in
q man, all covetousn sss, ali the malice.
Then it is not consiction-it is q tenn
permanent. 1t affects its victims nearly
all alike. The Kansas, Populist is moi
whit worse than the men of all ages who
have let their envy get the better a
their honor, and who have desired. e
make men equal by dividing some othsI
mans property.
Cain was the first Populist. When hl
saw that mis- brothers gift was acceptable
TO God and that his own gilt was not &C
ceptabie, Cain did what every Kansal
Popalist would do. what every Ohi(
