Died..

LININGER.-At the residence of his
son near Listonburg, Pa, after an i'll
ness of six weeks, on Thursday, March
9th, at $40 p. M, Lewis Lininger.
The funeral took place on Sunday at
$3.50 p. IN. and was conducted by Rev.
j. R. Jacobs, pastor of the Listonburg
M. E. church. The deceased was born
in Franklin county, Pa, Feb. 18th,
1920, and was aged 70 years and 26
days.
The deceased was well known in
Garrett county where he resided for
over 80 years. During his life he
made for himself very many friends
and few enemies.
He was preceded to the promised
land by five children-two daughters
and three sons-who died in infancy
and also by his wife who died two
years ago at Barton, Md. He leaves
behind Il family of 15-nine daughters
and six sons, all of whom are grown
The funeral was largely attended by
sorrowing friends and relatives. Inter
ment took place in the Listonbure
cemetery.

stream; if there are only few is the
small number caused by too much
fishing or pollution of the water
if the latter, can it be removed? You
cannot succeed without doing so and
the trouble and cost of planting will be
in vain unless such pollution be re-
moved
In planting streams which have been
fshed out it is safe to plant brook trout
mer temperature of seventy degrees
Fahrenheit. Trout grow little if any
in water below forty degrees Fahren-
heit, and should have during part of
the year water that is from sixty-two to
seventy degrees, as this temperature
matches the insect life which makes d
large part of the food for trout. An
other simple though very good way to
ascertain whether trout will live or
thrive in water before barren, it is only
necessary to learn if the creek minnow
or striped dace can be found in such
stream. If it can no other test is nee
essary, as the water conditions required
for the striped dace are the same as for
a brook trout.
When you receive the Fry do not
plant them until the water in the cans
has been gradually brought to the same
temperature as that in the creek. This
is sometimes tiresome, but no one has
the moral right to ask the State for fish
unless he is willing to do his part to
bring about the best possible results
from the expenditure of the State mon
ey in this great and important work.
An applicant should remember that the
fish are not simply a gift to him, that
they belong to the State, and that he is
an agent of the State in the planting of
them, and he should be willing to go
to little trouble to make it a success,
especially in this very important part
of the work. The gradual changing of
the temperature of the water in the
cans to that of the creek is highly inn
portant, as fish are very sensitive to
sudden changes in the temperature of
the water and it is safe to say that nine
times out of ten when fish have been
otherwise properly planted and no re-
suits obtained, the failure is brought
about by neglect of this equalization of
waters in cans and creek.
Trout fry should be planted in small
spring runs which empty into the stream
you want to stock, scattered along in
the small holes few at each place, not
all thrown in together, but distributed
along the spring runs not more than
two thousand to the mile. A stream
can be overStocked. 1t does not mat.
ter how small the spring runs are, the
young trout will thrive in them until
they need more water, when they will
seek it. The stream and manner o
planting is of far more importance thar
the size of the fish, and if the sugges
tions here given are followed little con
Germ need be given about the size o
fish, for if they be three months or ever
younger they will live and grow nicely
Hoping to have your cooperation il
this very important matter, am
Very respectfully,

Mr.. Lancaster Denies the Story


Some time ago this paper copied an
article from the Homecoming Re0iew
relative to the marriage of A. J. Ian
caster, of Avilton, Garrett county, in
which it was stated that Mr.. Lancas-
ter appeared before a Homecoming
minister on February % to be mar
ried, but not having procured a mar
riage license the wedding could not
take place. 1t was stated, however,
that the couple were married on
Thursday, February 49, Mr.. Lancast-
er denies the story and says he pro-
cured his marriage license February
90 and that he had the license when
he appeared before the minister to
have the ceremony performed. The
corrections cheerfully made.-Cumb.

The spirit of industrial and agricul-
tural activity in Maryland has devel-
oped to very gratifying proportions
during the past decade, and the way
some of the counties are going ahead
is a gratifying indication of the wide
awake character of their people. 1t
is natural that their energies should
develop in varied and interesting
channels, but it has remained for
worthy German citizen of Allie
gany county to head the list in this
respect by opening sauer-kraut
farm, from the proceeds of which in
the past year he has been able to
start a very comfortable bank account.
His cabbage crop last season yielded
33, 900 heads, all of which was convert
ed into "kraut" and sold in neighbor-
ing markets of Maryland and Vir-
ginia. This year he will increase the
acreage of his cabbage crop and make
more sauer-kraut. The sauer-kraut-

The persistent blowing of the
whistle at the electric plant on Fri
day morning about $50 o'clock arous-
ed many of 0akland's citizens from
their slumbers who tumbled out of
their beds fearing repetition of last
summers destructive fire to discover
that slight blaze was in progress at
the residence of Mr.. George D. White
which destroyed his coal house in
which he had some hams undergoing
the smoking process. The building
was almost entirely consumed but the
fire was discovered in time to keep the
flames from spreading to adjoining
buildings on the rear of his lot and
those of his neighbors. The loss is
small, probably SIS.
This is peculiar world, says an au-
thority. One man is saving money to
build house, another trying to sell
his for less than it cost him to build it..
One man is spending all the money he
can make in taking his girl to the
theatre and sending her flowers with
the hope of making her his wife,
while neighbor is using what money
he has in getting a divorce. One
man escapes all the disease flesh is
heir to and gets killed on a railroad.
Another escapes with only scratch
and dies with the whooping cough.
One man stands off his creditors and
goes travelling to the lakes or springs,
while another stays at home and pays
his debts. But the most disgraceful
thing is while one man will pay his
subscription promptly when due,
another will take paper for year
or two and then order it discontinued
or move out of the country without
paying the poor newspaper man the
dollar or two for which he has toiled
SO long and faithfully.

This is the time of year to prepare
for beautiful town this summer.
We are likely to have more visitors
the coming summer than we have had
any year yet and we should be pre-
pared to put the best foot foremost.
Everyone should clean up and get
his place to looking as attractive as
possible. 1t is worth hard dollars to
the town.
An exchange truthfully says wo-
mans character is like a postage
stamp-one black mark ruins it..
Mans like a treasury note-no mat
ter how many stains it will pass at
par. When woman falls from grace
her character is generally ruined for
ever. On the other hand, man may
straighten up and be received into
society again. All of which is too
true, but being true doesn't make it
right.
Those who watch signs, and go a
good bit on their realization, predict
an early spring. They hold that as
there was no warm weather sufficient
to start the trees budding during the
month of February the same condi-
tion will be in force till April, when
an unusual warm spell will set in and
continue. Everybody is predicting
one of the largest fruit yields ever
known in this section. For the last
two years the fruit was practically
killed in this section by the cold
weather in April, and for this to pre-
vail the third year is beyond all rules
laid down by 'sign-makers."
Mr.. Harry Grant, formerly with
the b. & o., has resigned his position
with that company and will devote
his entire time to photography with
his headquarters at Oakland. Mr..
Grant stands at the head of his class
in this profession and Judging from
the class of work he is now turning
out he has certainly made wise
change.
The equinoxal storm came in on
time and knocked the predictions of
the weather man into a cooked hat.
He thought that it would be fair and
colder on Sunday but instead of that
it was one of the worst snowy days
we have had during all the late un-
pleasantness. The storm wore itself
out however on Monday and since
then the weather has been all right.
The early robin has appeared at
last, and fills the balmy air with his
song of prospective warm weather.
While its arrival has with it many
pleasant memories, yet to some who
think along pessimistic lines, it con-
jures up visions of house cleaning
and carpet beaters and spades and
lawn mowers and blistered hands and
expressions that are not found in the
Sunday school books All of the ideal
is driven into oblivion by thoughts of
the material. But spring will come
and with it will come duties that will
have to be performed, and the easier
we take the burdens which they in
volve the lighter will they become

though mutually antagonistic, holding 1t
by compromise between themselves against
the third. The Cambridge ring still exists,
though the Duke himself Is no longer at

cratic or wealthy families, who are always

regimental officers who are without pow
erful family connections or wealth to push

The popularity OF Lord ROBERTS in the
army is undenable, and deservedly 30, for
not only is he u good soldier, but he has also
the faculty Of winning the regard OF tho
regimental officers and Of the rank and file;
yet under present conditions his super
lative merits, apparently. are without
weight. A supposedly easy war with
the Beers, 1t is believed In many military
circles, was thought TO r. n good oppor-
tunity to push the fortunes OF the other
rings. South Africa, however, had already
been the grave OF many military repu-
tations, CHELMSFORD and CoLLEY among
the last, aud the indications now are that
others will follow Among the Generals
going out to South Africa are some who
have the reputation Of being excellent
manipulators of the kriegspie board, as
professors Of the art Of war, but 1t remains
te DO seen how they will turn out practi-
cally in face Of the ordeal Of actual conflict
against the Bocr commanders. Tho mill
tary genius has yet to DO discovered on the
British side, but in tho test Of such war as
that of South Africa no may at any time
blaze forth to the confusion Of the chess
board strategy and tactics Of the hide
bound military school. as we found out in
our War OF the Revolution and the Civil
War and as was demonstrated in the earlier
campaigns OF tho French Revolution and
in NApoLEoNs campaign against the old
Austrian pedant, WURMsEB. in Italy.
1t is assumed that, notwithstanding the
present advantages on the Boer side and
the shortcomings on that OF the British,
the Beers are sure to be beaten in the end.
Probably that is so. Science and machinery
are doing in war what they are doing in
commerce and in almost every sphere OF
human action, and the weaker and less
progressive have little show; but, appar-
emily, the British campaign will have to
begin afresh. with new troops, II not new
Generals, and with increased difficulties
before them.

Railroads In Africa.

On the day the Beers declared war there
were in operation in Africa nearly IL 900
miles OF railroad. Al the end OF $50 the
mileage for the entire continent was only
5,sl3 miles In the past eight years it has
more than doubled. 5,972 miles of new
roads having been put into operation.
Some Of those roads are now being cx.
tended, work has begun on few new enter
prises, and these extensions and new lines,
for whose completion financial arrange
ments have been made, will add about
$500 miles to the total Then there nrc
other projects, such as the German road to
Tanganyika, the French road from Algeria
to the Soudan, and the Belgian road from
tho Congo to the Nile, all Government
schemes and not yet under way. 1t is
probably a conservative estimate TO say
that the end Of the next decade will see
$4,000 miles of railroad in operation.
Tho Colonial Council at Berlin was
informed, on Oct. 10, that the Imperial
Government had decided to build the East
African Central Railroad and for this pur.
pose would raise loan at three and a half
per cent. interest. The object Of the Gov.
eminent in building the road itself Is to
hasten the development Of the colony and
also to have free hand in the settlement
OF all questions that may arise when n
junction is effected with the British road
from Cape Town to Alexandria. The Ger
man Colonial Society has advocated this
great project for some years, but the

Tho Peril OF the British Ministry.

That thereverses recently suffered by the
British In South Africa forebode their ultI-
mate failure in their war against the Beers,
no reason exists for supposing. The worst
that can happen to them Is a prolongation
Of the war beyond the limit OF time they
originally set for it and an increase Of it's
cost beyond their preliminary estimates.
Even the loss OF Ladysmith. with its army
and its munitions OF war, which now seems
imminent, will only delay, without avert
ing. the final subsection OF the Transvaal
Republic Numbers and resources are too
overwhelmingly In favor Of the British,
and their determination to win, at any cost
Of money and life, has been too thoroughly
aroused by their defeats for them to give I'D
tho contest before they have carried It to
q successful issue.
With the Ministry now in power in Great
Britain, which Is responsible for the out
break OF tho war and has assumed the task
Of carrying IL on, the case Is different. Thus
far it has been Loyalty and even heartily
supported both by its political opponents
and by its own party. Everything it has
asked for has been ungrudgingly granted
by Parliament, and popular enthusiasm
has been almost universally manifested in
It's favor. In return. the British people
expect it to show an ability to accom-
plish what it has undertaken, which shall
Justify the confidence they have placed in
It. II they nre disappointed in this re-
Rpect, or even II their expectations are not
speedily fulfilled, 1t will have to retire and
give place to one more competent.
In many points, the circumstances Of
this war with the Beers resemble those OF
the early days Of the war against Russia in
1854 and 1855. Then, as now, the leaders
Of the British Government earnestly de-
sired to avoid war They were pushed into
1t by their energetic representative at
Constantinople, as those OF the present
Government have been pushed into it by
their Colonial Secretary. Lord ABERDEEN
and his colleague, Mr. GLADSTONE, be-
lleved, to tho last that the pressure
put upon the Emperor OF Russia to
yield his claims respecting the holy places
Mt Jerusalem, was not inconsistent with
the preservation Of peace, but Lord STRAIT
FORD DE REDCLIFFE, who conducted the
negotiations with the Russian Ambassador
was determined upon having war, and
carried his point. So now Lord SALISBURY
