Timely information given Mrs.
George Long, of New Straitsville,
Ohio, saved two lives. A frightful
cough had long kept her awake every
night. She had tried many remedies
and doctors but steadily grew worse
until urged to try DIR. Kings New
Discovery. One bottle wholly cured
her; and she writes, this marvellous
medicine also cured Mr.. Long of a
severe attack of Pneumonia. Such
cures are positive proof of its power
to cure all throat, chest and lung
troubles. Only SOC and $1.00. Guar,

The Democrats in Maryland are
beginning to squirm as the pressure
is put on by the machine. The talk
OF harmony and all that was very nice
at first. but now it is beginning to
dawn on the voters and thinkers that
| the machine has the reins of power,
and offers the worst form of political
slavery and bondage to every one
who is willing to wear the collar of
the boss. No Others need apply. \
silver ring stamped German is put
ON each one and they are counted as
Just so many votes to be used to
further the plans and projects of the
ring. If any attempt to think for
themselves political ostracism is their
fate. An ostracism that lasts through
years, and which ends only when the
power of the ring is over. This mer-
ciless power has brought revolt in
Baltimore county. There the Gar
like behavior of the machine leaders
has become intolerable to the self re-
specting Democrats, and they are be-
ginning to speak out in revolt. They
remember the political horrors which
disgraced Maryland and the Demo
cratic party before the Republicans
rescued the State from German, and
they will not now let it slip back into
his hands after four years of an adj
ministration like that of Lloyd
Lowndes, clean, business like, free
from political jobbery, trickery or
corruption. 1t is not at all probable
that business men, independent in
telligent men, will demur one moment
now that the ring has unblushingly
declared itself. At no time when at
the very zenith of its power did it
show such an utter disregard of the
people and their wishes. Before the
campaign began the crafty astute
politician German looked over the
field and realized that the independ-
ent self respecting Democrats would
never submit to his rule or dictation.
AS his all devouring ambition stopped
not at the confines of Maryland, and
in order to further these ambitions
he found it necessary to have undis-
puted sway in this State, he an
nounced that the fight was to be made
on the lines followed by the ring in
the past, and that the fight was to be
made by the ring alone, without the
slightest regard for the wishes of the
people or party. His will is being
carried out. His mandates have been
implicitly obeyed in this county. In
Baltimore county a revolt has APP
peared and on the Eastern Shore all
the counties were pocketed for
Col. John Walter Smith, who had
an ever ready barrel in times past
when the machine wanted oil.
All protestations, all denials that
German is in politics are made to
hide the truth until he has accom-,
plished what he wishes. He will
never do that, however. Marylanders
love the fair name of the State to be
stainless, and Lowndes and the Re
publican party have raised it from a
hot bed of political corruption to {
position equal to the highest in the
grand galaxy of States.

KeuniOn and Campfire.

Committees of Mcpherson Post, 6.

preparations for a reunion, campfire
and picnic, to be held at the Detmold
grove for two days on September s

be invited to participate, and yeter
ans and volunteers will be expected
to attend. 1t is proposed to make

of the G. a. r. eyer held under local
auspices, and to this end the cooper
alton of the business men, the press
and the public generally throughout
the county is earnestly solicited by
the Homecoming post.
a program of sports will be ar
ranged, wartime scenes will be cor

soup and bareback, campfires and
sham battles, reminiscent addresses

meantime it is hoped all old soldiers,
volunteers and their friends will assist
them in their efforts to make the re
union and picnic a grand success

Just three years ago this summer
on the 21th day of July, Matthias
BowSer, the wealthy merchant on
corner OF South Broadway, was found
in his bed in an unconscious state of
mind, supposed to be caused by a
drug. He never again survived. Just
one year ago to the day the great
contiagration swept away Grants
ville's best buildings on the same
square. This summer on the same
date on the same square there was an
awful excitement brought about by
the elopement of a girl residing near
who came running into the town at
full speed, nearly out of breath,
shouting at the top of her voice for
her intended groom, who met her at
his door. She had been followed by
her smaller sister in hot pursuit, who
being light on foot caught her and
was clinging to her as they reached
the town, but all to no avail. A half
hour later they were joined as man
and wife at the groom's home by Rev.
f. p. Idleman under the sou,atis. OF

ings uttered by the brides mother

The following clipping, taken from
the Ansonia Conn EUening Sentinel
of recent date, refers to Compton
Tasker, ESQ, son of Mr.. Hiram p.
Tasker, of Oakland, who has attained
a high place among the designers of
guns in this country
"V. C. Tasker, who until Saturday
was chief designer for the Driggs-Sea-

employ of the company was presented
with handsome smoking set by his

where he soon acquired an enviable
reputation as designer. He is an
expert in breech mechanism construc-
ton and many of the guns on the
Monterey, Texas, Terror and other

This ape is Democratic IN principles
md Is independent In its vieacs on all toca1
conr1av,s weak Declaration.

Mr.. Gourley seems to be OF opinion that
william j. Bryan viii be nominated Tor
President by the Democratic party. Tie
as much as says tina no other name will
ne mentioned in either the State or Ma
8ionaf convention.
Perhaps he is right. It Is quite true
that Mr.. Bryan has a great hold on the
shouting element Of the party, and that
the leaders are scared and are giving way
to the shouters in opposition to their own
best Judgment. Unless a healthier tone
Of mind is restored to the party between
now and next July. Mr.. Gourfey's
prophesies may come true.
There win be no possibility. owever OF
electing Mr. Bryan. His only strength
was in discomfort upon the part of the
wage earning class. He had this in his
favor In the superlative degree in 1895,
and yet he was beaten by a million votes.
Nov the Industrial class are contented.
They viii he afraid to disturb the status
d Mr.. Bryan will haye no support
whatever from them
The only other thing that he could rely
upon to win would be the thoughtful OPP
position Of the conservative class of voters
to the unconstitutional and un-American
yagaries of the Mckinley administration.
There are many Democrats who would
find in this sentiment a sure power to win
with. ANY OF the great, old-time. real
Democratic leaders would almost certainly
be elected through the force of this idea
and by the thoughtful, conservative vote.
But Mr.. Bryan has no prospect OF any
support whatever from his element. To a
man, the thinking class will choose the
less of two evils and ~re-elect Mckinley.
we do not believe Mr.. Bryan can carry
even one State north of Mason and
Dixon,s line, and we think II likely that
he win lose three or four of the Southern
stronghoids. His election is simply inn
possible.
What is more. we cannot say that we
think he ought to be elected. We think
his defeat is essential TO the prescription
Of the Republic.
