Mormon Missionaries.

4 correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun, writing from Oakland under
date of the 22nd inst says regarding
the Mormon missionaries now engag-
ed in different sections of the county:
Mormon elders are very actively
engaged in circulating their literature
and promulgating their peculiar doc
trines and teachings. Their methods
are to steer clear of the towns and
villages and devote their time to the
rural districts. One day recently
while two lawyers were dining at a
farmhouse about twenty-five miles
from Oakland two Mormon elders ap-
preached them and supplied them
with literature giving the creed. etc,
of the Church of Jesus Christ OF
Latter Day Saints This literature
was brought to Oakland and handed
to your correspondent. There are
thirteen articles in the creed, the
eighth of which reads as follows: we
believe the Bible to be the word OF
God so far as it is translated correct
ly; we also believe the Book of Nor
mon to be the word of God
ut seems to be the plan of these ell
ders to work among the most igno
rant classes, and they were surprised
when they found two lawyers so fal

TO be bound hand and foot for
years by the chains of disease is the
worst kind of slavery. George ID.

Electric Bitters she is wonderfully
improved and able to do her own
work" This supreme remedy for

\ Bold Hold-UD.

Mr.. Dan. Dorsey, of Grantsville,
was in town Saturday with other
friends from there and late during the
night he was at the DIR. Getty resi-
dence, where many friends had gath
cred. About midnight he started for
his hotel and when in crossing the
alley next to Councilman Boldens
residence two negros rushed on him,
one pointing a revolver and demand
ed his money. He could not do better
and they went through his clothes
getting about $50 The men then
disappeared and Mr.. Dorsey hunted
up the police but they failed to find
the men, who were undoubtedly show
hands.-Meyersdale Commercial

Good Crops.

One day last week Mr.. Hopwood
kildow, one of our enterprising far
mers. threshed the oats cut from Z
acres of ground which had been lined
previous to sowing the crop. The
yield of grain was something extra
ordinary, averaging 81 1-7bushels per
acre.
Mr.. Daniel Conneway, another of
our prosperous farmers, had yield
of 104 bushels of wheat from 81 acres
of ground. The grain weighed 50
pounds to the bushel.
We would like to hear from others
who have threshed their grain.

writer Here in the far past while in
infantile years, he commenced at the
very initials of his education which
was ended, not completed many years
later at Washington, Pa, under the
GOOD old DR.. David McConahue, the
bluest Presbyterian divine any one
could wish to see or hear LoXleY H.
Thistle was the master in the little
log dwelling, removed years ago, and
now marked by a beautiful pine tree
of large growth. The teacher named
was member of the. Allegany bar,
admitted about the year 1927 or '28 ;
of q splendid physique and a full
cousin of the distinguished Gen. +. O..
C. Ord. They were sons of two sis
ters, daughters of Thomas Cresap.
Nothing yet said about the old Ma
tional Road II miles of which we
passed over. 1t is in Il reasonably
fair condition, considering all things,
but in great contrast to what it was
about 60 years ago, when in its ma
cadanized state and at its best. The
old metallic mile stones with a few
exceptions are still standing with
their names and figures from Cum
berland, the beginning, to Wheeling
the ending, 151 miles, but over POO by
the b. Il o. Railroad. We noticed
some rifleman had tried his weapon
upon one of these posts with a per
foratiOn for result. These posts stop
at Wheeling but the Cumberland
road, the proper name, extends
through Ohio, Indiana and Illinois to
st. Louis. The whole road was built
at the cost of the United States under
many appropriations by Congress,
beginning in 1906 and ending in 1888
The aggregate of all these appropri-
atiOns amounts to the large sum of
81 ,284, 086.41. This result was found
some years ago by your correspond
ent after careful examination Of the
many appropriations by Congress.
The money expended on the road in
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois was OBJ
tanned from the sales of public lands
in those states. 1t is fact, this great
National highway was turned over
by the United States to the different
states traversed by it soon after its
completion, since when the United
States has had no control over it but
it was of great almost q
necessity of the government in the
great war between the two sections
of our country. Why not Congress
appropriate a reasonable sum of
money to rehabilitate this once Ma
tional highway, instead of throwing
money away upon small streams of
water under the guise of internal i'm
provements, Another fact, this road
was greatly damaged during the war
by the Union Army in its necessary
acts andsmovements. J.B.

A Horse Stolen and Recovered.

Jasper Enlow, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
David ..Enlow, of near town, rode a
very fine horse to town last Friday
evening and hitched the animal to a
post near the mill. About ten O'Clock
Mr.. Enlow went for his horse and it
had disappeared-evidently had been
stolen. Diligent inquiry was made
but no clue to its whereabouts was
discovered until Sunday, when Mr..
Enlow found the horse in stable
near Deep Creek where it had been
left by an unknown man the previous
morning. Who the stranger was or
where he hailed from is mystery,
but a good description of the man
supposed to be the would-be thief is
in the hands of the States officers in
Oakland and he may be landed yet.

Last Saturday the Midland nine,
considered the champion base ball
players of Allegany county, came up
to the Park where game had been
scheduled between the Mountain
Lake Park and Midland mines. The
game was called at 2.30 and at the
end of the sixth inning, when the
game was called in order to allow the
visitors to catch the train the score
stood to 3 in favor of the Mountain
Lake Park team. The Midland play
ers are exceedingly sore over their
defeat and in the Cumberland Times
of Tuesday the correspondent for that
paper from the above town says some
very uncomplimentary things of the
Mountain Lake Park boys. All who
have witnessed the games in which
either the Oakland or Park players
wssge participants will not readily be
lieVe the charges contained in the
Times article. which we copy in full
as follows;
Your correspondent from Oakland
lays particular stress upon the good
playing of the Mountain Lake base
ball team last Saturday, and only in
sinuates that our boys were sadly dis
appointed in the result of the game
| which last part we agree with. Our
| boys were very much surprised at
the actions of the Mt. Lake players.
; They have been in the habit of play
ing with gentlemen and thought
they would be doing SO on Saturday
but they never encountered Il base
ball team that lacked gentlemanliness
SO much as those whom they contested
! with on that day, and unused to such
ruffianism as they met, were not able
to recover from their surprise at their
treatment until the 9Th inning when
they had determined to demonstrate
their ability of defeating crowd OF
rufiians by perfect playing. But, ,alas
| for our faithful rooters, came the sig.
nal to move for the train and in the
beginning of the 18th inning with ou1
best batsmen coming forward, the
game had to be called favorably tc
Mt. Lake. Our boys are confident
had they had time to finish the game
it would have resulted in one more
victory for the 'Allegany county
champions and if they will give oul
team return game we will treat
them like gentlemen and prove oul
right to the title of champions OF

Cure for Gossip.
DIR. Holland tells us that the cure
for gossip is culture. He says there
is great deal of gossip that has no
malignity in it. Good natured peo-
pie often talk about their neighbors
because they have nothing else to
talk about. As we write (he contin-
ues) there comes to us q picture of
a family of young ladies. We have
seen them at home, we have met them
IN galleries of art, we have caught
glimpses of them going from a book
store or library with fresh volume
in their hands. When we meet them
they are full of what they have seen
and read. They are brimming with
questions. One topic of conversation
is dropped only to give place to an
other in which they are interested.
We have left them, after a delightful
hour, stimulated and refreshed, and
during the whole hour not q neigh
boris garment was soiled by so much
as q touch. They knew something
and wanted to know more. They
could listen as well as talk. The con
firmed gossip among women, and the
tattler among men is either malicious
or uncultivated. The one variety
needs change of heart and the other
q change of culture.
Gossip and tale bearing are always
a personal confession either of malice
or imbecility; the young should not
only shun it, but lby the most thor
ough culture relieve themselves from
| all temptation.
They should make it a point of per-
sonal pride not to repeat to q soul
syllable that was not intended for
repetition.

ELECTRIC RAJ ILROAD.
Much Discussion has Led to Misappre-
hension.-Right-of-way Must be Donat-
ed.-Prompt Action Necessary.

The building of an electric railroad
from Oberlin to Wellington has been
the subject Of several newspaper art
icles Of late, all OF which have been
misleading and contain little truth as
regards the real situation. The facts
are that capitalists who furnish the
means for the building of electric
roads seek to place their money only
in paying investments, and after look
ing the line over from 0berlin to Well
ington consider it doubtful PROPOSE
tion, so much SO that the only ground
upon which ther will consider it. would
be the donation of a private right-of-
way, and liberal franchise from the
villages of both 0berlin and yelling
ton. Enough is already known to war
rant the statement that satisfactory
franchises can be secured in both vii
lagos. Now the question is, what will
the property owners along the route
between the corporation lines be will
ing to do, as they are the ones that
will receive the greatest behefits.
There ought not to be the least opposi-
tion. 1t is a well established fact
those who own property along the line
of an electric railroad have been great
ly benefited in many ways, and would
not have it taken from them for many
times their donation.
We believe that prompt action at
this time viii secure the building Of
this road at an early date.

Bad management keeps more people
in poor circumstances than any other
one cause. To be successful one must
look ahead and plan ahead so that
when favorable opportunity presents
itself he is ready to take advantage OF
it. A little forethought will also save
much expense and valuable time. A
prudent and careful man will keep a
bottle of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy in the house,
the shiftless fellow will wait until ne
cessity compels it and then ruin his
best horse going for doctor and have
a big doctor bill to pay, besides; one
pays out 25 cents, the other is out a
hundred dollars and then wonders why
his neighbor is getting richer while he
is getting poorer. For sale by
