Cumberland is the home of Senator

chivalrous act for the Democratic candi-
date to make speech in the home town
of the Maryland Senator, who is such a
stout defender of the principles for which
Mr.. Bryan is contending.

Editor Times Republican,: Dear Sir:
Will you kindly permit ME to say the
public thru your paper that which
was not permitted to say from my pull
pit yesterday because of the action of
the board of health.
Last Week i received from the India
famine relief work u circular describ-
Ing the depiorable condition of the per-
ishing people OF India in passing thru
the greatest famine OF the century. 1
intended to speak of the matter yester-
day to my own people and ask them to
join with me in sending aid to the peo-
pie that are dying by thousands from
starvation. but as l did not have the
opportunity to carry out my good in
tentions | Should like your help in,
bringing the subject 10 the attention
of a larger public than I could have
reached from my pulpit. Your paper
goes all over the state and perhaps still
other towns will be moved TO send re-
lief. Will you be SO kind as to publish
the following quotation? ["God pity
the poor children. A horrible picture of
intensest suffering. How many lives
Will you save?"l
Can the good people OF Marshalltown
do something to help our fellows in
distress? Very truly yours,

man. Dragged and Thrown
Thru a Bridge.

Marshall county bids fair to be the
seat OF operations Of a gang Of horse
thieves IL there Is to be a repetition of
affairs similar to one transacted at Gil
man late Saturday night. About IL.
O'clock Saturday night Sheriff Shoe
maker was apprised by telephone that
two Of the finest horses in the livery
barn Of Mr.. rmpson had just been stolen
and that the thieves were headed this
way.
The barn was entered about 10 o'clock
by two men. who were careful to make
the best selection, taking one OF the ami
mails out of a box stall. The night man
was asleep in the barn and was awak-i
ened by the noise just In time to see the
men as they left the barn.
Sheriff Shoemaker dressed and went
directly to work. He assigned Deputy
Sheriff Hutson, who was accompanied
by Officer Frank Weaver to watch the
Linn creek bridge southeast of the can
ming factory, at the junction of three
roads that might be used In coming
from Gilman. The officers waited there
all night on guard, thru the rain, as did
also Deputy Sheriff Mcfarland, who
took up watch on South Third avenue
at the Linn creek bridge. and also In
spected the trains for suspicious char
acters. Nothing OF the men were found
and at s o'clock this morning Sheriff
Shoemaker went to Gilman to look over
the ground himself. About o'clock
searching parties who had left Gilman
returned with the two stolen animals,
which had been found about two miles
northwest Of Gilman. on their way
home. They had been turned loose and
from their condition it was easily dis
cerned that they had been driven hard
1t is thought that the thieves. after TAX
ling the animals, became frightened and
suspected that they We're being followed,
and took to the woods afoot, turning
the horses loose.
Judging from the selections made
from the different horses in the barn.
the thieves are considered TO be expert
enced hands at the business.
So far there is a bsolutely no clue as to
the identity of the thieves. The night
foreman OF the barn is unable to de-
scribe the men. as he only saw their
backs as they left the barn.
