Store Robbed.

The store of Isaac S. Kirk at
Fremont was broken into by thieves
last Friday night. The articles
missed when the robbery was dis
covered on Saturday morning con
sisted of several pairs of shoes, caps,
overalls, cartridges, postage stamps,
etc, from the store, and two
watches, chains, and other articles
of jewelry from the table of Benton
Lincoln, jeweler, which had been
left by the owners for repair.
The doors and windows of the
building were provided with burg
lar alarms since the robbery of the
store about three years ago, when
$500 worth of goods were taken,
and entrance into the building was
affected by breaking through the
weather boarding and plastering.

Mad-DOg Scare

Rising Sun was treated to first
class mad dog excitement last Mon
day morning. George Wright's
little terrier got out of the barn
where She was imprisoned under
suspicion that she might be affected
with hydrophobia. She went
through the streets of the town
and attacked several dogs and flew
at several persons. She was pro-
nounced "mado very soon and pur-
suit with guns followed. Stones
were thrown when she came in
range and Squire Taylor laid for
her with his revolver, but it would
require Il Buffalo Bill to hit five
pound dog going like "greased
lightning" Finally she ran home
followed by several gunners, and
was met by O. G. Passmore near
the house who fired at the tleein Q
little beast and missed her. The
dog being near its own door turned
on him and was stopped by Wig
orous kick, which was aimed better
than the gun. The boot laid the
little dog low and she was soon
stamped to death. No symptoms
of rabies were discovered on exam
nation after she was killed. The
tongue was not swollen, nor did
any other abnormal appearance in
dictate that the little animal was
mad, nor did it run or act like a
dog affected with rabies when being
pursued. The scare was appar-
emily a mutual one between dog and
crowd. We do not think there is
cause for much apprehension.

given in such cases, but as nothing gave
relief, we sent for physician and it was

obtained relief it would not live. Cham

to appear before the United States
Court in Baltimore on September 8,
to show cause why the bankrupts
should not be discharged under the
bankrupt law from all liability to
their creditors.
John Perkins an Elkton boy is
afflicted with Il strange malady.
The little fellow, who was always
healthy, took sick with bleeding
spells few days ago, and he is now
in serious condition. He bleeds
from different parts of the body,
and the physicians are unable to
tell the cause. A portion of blood
has been sent to a Baltimore spec
ialist for analysis.
Associate Judge Frederick Stump
has excused John E. Ferguson,
First dist; John Fluffy, Jr., and
Thos. l.. Stanley, Fifth dist, from
serving on the jury at the Septem-
Der term of court, and has drawn
Arthur Bride and Newton A.
Nichol, Seventh dist, and Cecil
Brown, Ninth dist, to serve in
their place. Court will begin on
Monday, September Is, in Elkton.
Lieutenant Colonel Philip H.
Ellis, of the United States Army,

weapons for the purpose of assault
ing and cutting said officer and
being an habitually disorderly per-
son on one charge; and six months
on another charge of habitual

Philip II. Bond, of Port Deposit,
was seriously injured ON Thursday
evening of last week at Port De
post, as he was returning from a
trip to Colchester on the railroad
excursion.
The excursion train on the re-
turn trip did not stop at Port De
post, but was expected to slow up.
as it went through the town. Mr..
Bond jumped off and collided with
a man standing near the track,
which caused him to fall with one
of his feet on the rail. A heavy
sole on the shoe caused the wheel
to push his foot partially off the
rail before passing over it, but the
foot sustained serious injury. The
great toe had to be amputated at
the base of the nail. The other
toes were severely lacerated.

Price in paper so cents. BY Chas.
E. Chadman, LII. NJ, head Profes
sor of the Law Department of the
Western University of Chicago, H.;
published by the Home Study Pub
fishing Co., Conneaut, Ohio.
The following paragraph from
the preface of the work will serve
to point out its character and bear
ing on the subject the author treats.
He says;
In the compilation of this vol
ume we have been profoundly i'm
pressed by the fact that legal
rights-the foundation of human
liberty-though claimed to be
grounded in natural law and justice
are purely developmental and evo-
lutionary, and that their completcst
stage has not been reached. In the
fifteenth century the rights of the
people were recognized to a certain
extent; the laws of the nineteenth
century admit the rights of people
to greater extent, and the laws of
the twentieth century are destined
to give a still more complete sane
ton to personal liberty unless evo-
luton fails and reaction triumphs. "
