THE TOWN OF NOGOoD.

My friend, have you heard OF the town OF
Nogood,
On the banks of the River Slow.
Where blooms the Waitawhile flower fair.
Where the Sometimeorother scents the air
And the soft Goeasys grow.
1t lies in the valley of What'stheusc.
In the province of Leterslide:
That tired feeling is native there,
It's the home of the reckless Idon'tcare.
Where the Giveups abide.
The town is as old as the hunanTAce,
And it grows with the fight Of years,
1t is wrapped in the fog of idlers dreams,
It's streets are paved with discarded schemes
And sprinkled with useless tears.
The Collegebredfool and the Richman's heiI
Are plentiful there, no doubt;
The rest of its crowd are a motley crew,
With every class except one in view
The Foolkiller is barred out.
The town of NogOod is all hedged about
BY the mountains of Despair;
No sentinel stands on its gloomy walls,
No trumpet to battle and triumph calls,
For towards alone are there.
My friend, from the dead-alive town Nogood,
If you would keep far away,
Just follow your duty through good and i'll,
Take this for your motto, II can, Will"
And live up to it each day.

SENATOR WELLINGTON, chairman
of the State Central Committee, is
confident that the Republicans will
carry Maryland this fall. When it is
remembered that the Senator's pre-
dictions in 1896 underestimated the
majorities received by the Republi-
can tickets in those years, his esti-
mate of the situation deserves much
consideration. To Baltimore inner
lean representative he said:
ITO sum up the situation briefly |
will say this: We will carry num-
Der of the Eastern Shore counties;
Cecil will be with us and we are 60
ing to win in the city. Governor
Lowndes is going to be reelected, and
we are going to control the legislature
What this means to the citizens of
every section of the state it is not
necessary for me to describe in detail.
The record of the four years shows
just what the people have right to
expect in the event of our success
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1899-08-17

SPEAKING of the platform adopted
by the Democratic Convention of
of Maryland. the Washington Star
says: I'm its avOwaIs it is weak; in
its evasions it is cowardly. 1t is
something of an affront. indeed, to
the candidates who must champion
it. They have very positive views on
vital questions of the hour, and yet
must keep silent about them at the
| bequest of the party managers
While the Democratic candidates in
Ohio and Kentucky are discussing
national questions, and particularly
silver, with great bOldness and free
dom, these Maryland candidates, who
are gold men, will be obliged to con
fine themselves ts glittering general
tiles. But they will find something
to say. All is not gold that glitters'
So queer production as this plat
form must have cost some labor. 1t
shows in EVERY feature the embar-
easements of its constructors. So i'm
portant question as silver is ignored
and so irrevelant question as the
press censorship at Manila is made
prominent. There is no word about
the country's duty in the matter of
the new possessions, but an awful
warning is sounded against the dan
gers. which do not exist and are not
threatened, of a large standing army
in times of peace. AS to State affairs
the case may be summed up thus:
We believe we can do better than
the Republicans and we ask to be
returned to power Will the indie
pendent Democrats respond to this
appeal? 1t lis fashioned for them.
They opposed Mr.. German in 1895
and defeated him on state issues.
This is his ticket, and the campaign
will be conducted virtually by him.
His return to the Senate is involved
in the result at the polls. They sup
ported Sound money in 1896, and
sound money is again an issue. Mr..
Germans silence on the subject does
not eliminate that question. The
Republicans in their platform will
declare for sound money, and thus
the issue will again be squarely pre-
scented"

BY REFERRING to the columns of
tO-day's REPUBLICAN it will be no
ticed that the Republican primaries
have been called by the committee
for Saturday, September end at
which time delegates will be elected
to attend the county convention to
nominate a county ticket and also to
elect delegates to attend the State
convention.
In this connection it may not be
amiss to. impress upon the minds of
our friends that to secure a county
ticket composed of the bone and
sinew of the Republican party, men
of unbiased mind, intelligent and hav-
ing the best interest and the welfare
of the party at heart should be select
ed at the primaries to represent the
several districts in the convention.

thinks Governor Lowndes, because Of
his able, honest and skillful admins
tration. will make a strong candidate.
Col. Smith is set down as a political
pooh-bah. As to MIR. Rayner, Mr.
Weeks says:
While Gov. Lowndes was resisting
strong pressure, which attempted to
induce him to disregard the court for
the punishment of three colored me3
convicted of crime, we find Mr.. Ray
ner using his influence in advocacy of
q disregard of the law, the findings of
the Jury and the decision of the Judge.
Such action on the part of Mr.. Tray
ner, taken in connection with the
duties of the Office to which he
aspires to fill, and the utterances of
the platform on the subject, strike
Inc as being most singular.
II do not know what the Republi-
can platform will say, but / suppose
that it will endorse the national plat
form. Democrats ofmy stamp cannot
vote for Lowndes, and they see moth
ing to invite them to support the
other ticket. What are they to do?
The only thing l can see for Demo
Gratis of my stamp is to go a-gunning.' -

A number are on the tapis. We have
notice of such a gathering to be

District No. 8, on Saturday, the Goth
inst, which will be under the auspi-
ces of the Sunday school of that
neighborhood. An elaborate program
has been prepared and refreshments
of all kinds will be served. An ipvi-
tation is extended to all to attend.
A committee of Sunday school
workers in the New Germany settle
ment has also requested us to make
mention of picnic to be held there
on the Goth inst. The picnicers will
gather in the grove near the church
We desire to express our thanks to
the committee for an invitation to be
present and will attend if possible.

To Promote Industries,

The policy of the Baltimore g.
Ohio Railroad Company to foster
local industries along its lines has
taken definite shape by the appoint.
ment of w. w. Wood, of Baltimore,
as an industrial agent.
1t will be his duty to advise manu-
facturers and others desiring good
locations for their plants with detailed
and accurate information concerning
the peculiar advantages of territory
and towns adjacent to the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad.
Now the Baltimore g. Ohio railroad
is rehabilitated and in a position to
handle traffic, the management sees
the great advantage in developing
the hitherto latent resources along
the line. Mr.. Woods headquarters
will be in Baltimore.

Death of Another of CARROTS Old Citizens.
Rev. Jacob Pysell departed this life
on the 4th inst. after an illness Of
a few months.
The deceased was born near Somer-
set, Pa, May %, 1924; came to Garrett
county in early life and later married
here daughter of Benjamin Keller.
Soon after their marriage both united
with the Brethren church and re-
manned consistent members until
death. His companion he buried
/ December "a, 1895
Rev. Pysell was elected by his
church to the office of deacon and
after having first served faithfully in
that Office for a few years was called
to the ministry in which Office he
served his Master for about forty
years. He was a farmer by occupa-
ton and model farmer he was too.
Started in life in limited circumstan-
ces and after renting and farming on
shares several farms and succeeding in
securing little start, he later bought
tract of 200 acres near McHenry,
made his home on it in the woods,
cleared it out, erected commodious
buildings, remained on it during the
remainder of his life and left it decided
to his youngest daughter; one of the
fine farms of the county.
BY his habits of industry, honesty
and economy he forcibly illustrated
how a young man in this country
may succeed in life by minding his
own business, he having accumulated
besides his beautiful home quite q
considerable fortune. Although past
70 years of age he remained in active
life to near his death. For the last
three or four months he suffered from
heart disease which was the cause of
his death.
AS he saw his end approaching he
proceeded to arrange thoughtfully
his business matters, then expressed
his desire to his family that he might
die, but said he was willing to await
the Lords own time to remove him.
A few hours prior to his death he
calmly and cheerfully addressed his
son-in-law and arranged for his buri-
al and funeral and blessed God for
the triumph of faith and thus soon
passed to his reward.
On Sunday, the 9Th inst, his funeral
was preached at his home to a large
concourse of people, after which his
body was laid to rest in the family
burying ground to await the glorious

A Change ofTnne.

These are trying times for free
traders. Once in while thasss Z
heard tomb utterance in which the
words tariff reform seem to be
struggling to reach the surface. But
it is seldom repeated. For the most
! part the free traders are kept busy
trying to explain how every one of
their direful prophecies concerning
the Republican tariff legislation has
proven false. Some of the most
! prominent of them have bowed to the
teachings of experience and joined
| the protectiOnist ranks. Others con-
tent themselves with bearing testi-
mony to the wonderful prosperity of
the nation under that "high protect
i've tariff which they formerly de-
nounced in unmeasured terms.
An investigation of the business
conditions of Pittsburg under the
Republican legislation has been made
and this is the result as summarized :
Area of Pittsburgs Industrial
klOndike. $50 square miles.
Number of industries being opera
ted on full time, 118.
Number of men employed in these,
embracing all classes, 100000.
Average wages per day, S2.15.
Range of wages, S1.75 to 81 per day.
Number of idle men, none, except
from sickness.
Number of mills and factories una
able to run full time by reason of
scarcity of labor, 60.
Railroads unable to move freight
promptly because the traffic is 30 per
cent larger than all, the freight cars in
service.
Gross daily value of trade in Indust
trial Klondike, $G,0O0,000. VI
The extraordinary increase in do
posits in the banks, the tremendous
expansion III bank clearings and the
evidences that appear on all sides of
the prosperous condition of the nation
ought to cause the free trade and free
silver contingent to hide themselves
in shame. They have largely disap-
peared from public view, and it is to
be hoped, for the country's welfare,
that they have gone for good.

Mine of Reptiles Discovered in Preston
County.


County.
On last Christmas day DR.. w. j..
Sergeant was out rabbit hunting and
holed rabbit in a cliff of rocks. He
worked a half day trying to get it out
and failed. He closed up every crew
ice in the rock to keep it in and went
home to get his box to put in the
hole. When he got home his brother
in-law, Henry Blosser, of Cheat Ha-
ven, was there and he did not go
back. On last Saturday he was pick
ing whortleberries and came to the
place where he had stopped up the
rabbit He concluded he would take
the stones out of the holes. When he
took the stones out he was somewhat
surprised to find it den of snakes.
The snakes commenced to crawl out
and the Doctor begun on them with
his cane. He killed nineteen copper
heads and twenty-seyen rattlers. The
poison from the snakes make him
quite sick and he had to call in DR..
Cobun, of Masontown, to give him
medical aid. At the present time he
is getting along as well as could be
expected.-Kingwood Argus.
