Caleb Conner's Assignment.

The assignment of Caleb Conner
which was announced in last week. Is
issue, was made to H. HI. Haines
on last Thursday evening and re-
corded at Elkton the following
morning. The assets, as far as we
can learn, are the creamery plant
at Rising Sun, upon which is a
mortgage of $500, with four branch
separators, located at Battle Swamp,
Liberty Grove, Bradley's farm and
McCrery's mill, all of which will
be held for the creditors, although
the one over the line has been
levied upon by the sheriff. In adj
dition is the stock of material on
hand valued at about 800, bills
receivable and accounts due
amounting to about $4O0 Zone half
OF which is doubtfuD. The liabil-
tiles as far as ascertained are sun
dry accounts outside of milk Gus
toners amounting to about $3.50;
unpaid milk accounts for May 1913,
June $1375, July $500; making the
total liabilities about $221S. The
deed of assignment is signed by
Mis-. Conner whereby she gives up
all her right to property in her
husbands name, which does not
include the dwelling in Rising Sun.
The assignment is made without
preference to any of the creditors.
1t was at first though that among
the assets were several thousand
pounds of butter on cold storage
but such is not the case.
Mr.. Conner claims that the rea-
son of his failure was due to COM
petition which compelled him to
pay too much for the material at
the price butter was bringing in the
market, causing him to lose 5000 in
May and $500 since January LIST.
A meeting of the creditors was
called on last Saturday and a prop
osition place before them to have
s. G. England & Son, who run the
Springfield creamery near Zion,
take charge of the creamery and
separators and run them until next
October when they would be offered
at public sale, as it was thought
the property would bring a better
price if kept running until sold.
The creditors in attendance at first
thought tayorably Of the PROPOSE
ton, but afterward rejected it and
what disposition will be made of
the property remains yet to be
decided.

The War.

With the surrender of Santiago
was large extent of territory in
Eastern Cuba and $4,000 men and
officers, 10000 Of whom have not
been in action and are stationed at
different points in the surrendered
territory. How the surrender OF
these men not anywhere neal
our army and apparently not within
reach of our troops was effected,
has not been explained.
With the surrender is coupled
the obligation of transporting this
large army to Spain, which will be
attended with considerable cost,
but is the very best arrangement
that could have been made. Spain
would have been a long time, if
ever, taking them home. When
the men get home they will be apt
to tell their people some news they
stand sorely in need of knowing.
Preparations are being made to
send an army to Porto Rico, which
in concert with a fleet will doubt
less not be long in capturing the
island. A fleet is also being organ
lied to sail for the Canaries and the
coast of Spain under command of
Admiral Watson, and Spain is
talking of peace on the basis OF
Cuba alcne.

No rlore Dickering by the Democratic
Party.


The National League of Repub-
lican Clubs at it's convention in
Omaha last week gave another
proof that the Republican party is
firmly planted on the gold standard.
The second resolution in it's plat
form reads as follows =
We are uncompromisingly in
favor of the maintenance of the
single gold standard. = x x i
We are unqualifiedly opposed to
the free and unlimited coinage of
silver, and we reaffirm the St..
Louis platform on this subject.
The Republican party has thrown
Off all DISCUSSES and ceased to at
tempt hoodooing the American
people with the impossible "inter-
national bimetallism" which the
party conjured with so long and
successfully. The straddling Dem
ocratic politicians must disappear
from the party, and no longer any
equivocation about the party's
shibboleth being the remonetiza-
ton of silver and opposition to the
gold standard. On this the party
must firmly stand in the future or
ingloriously fall. The congressional
conventions which are to be held
in September cannot begin too soon
to prepare to make known the
position of the party in Maryland.
1t has never yet been authorita-
lively declared.

The wheat crop of the county
has been gathered and some of ii
threshed. Some of the farmers
report a fair turnout, but many OF
them report their yield are about
10 and II bushels to the acre.
In the meantime the daily papers
are reporting the crop of the
United States 7OO,OOO,OOO bushels.
The object of these extravagant re-
ports and estimates is doubtless to
discourage the farmers and induce
them to sell Immediately, and when
the crop has gone into the hands of
the produce spectators the price
will be put up as high as possible.

New Time.

The leading paper in New Time
for July is the grain trust in Chi.
cago, by S. H. Greeley. If every
farmer in the United States could
be induced to read this one article
and consider its far reaching results
on his business, he would begin to
think of shaking off the chains that
bind him to the .juggernaut of the
money and trust power.
Much valuable information on
the Subject of direct legislation is
published in this number of the
magazine, and the seed that is now
being sown by New Time will
spring up and grow like the grain
of mustard seed in the parable.
The referendum system of govern
must come through State legisla-
ton, possibly through county or
local legislation. In the local
option laws which are in force in
many States, the initiative and ref
erendum or direct legislation is
making it's way among the masses,

monopolies claims the larger part of
the work of education by New

a purpose on the part of stock
