A mission will be given at st. Pc
ter's church during Holy Week by the
Rev. M. j. O'Donoghue of the Catho-
lie University, Washington, d. c. The
object of the mission is to offer extra
ordinary opportunities for hearing
the word of God, and for worthily
receiving the sacraments. The mis-
sion will be open Wednesday, April
18th, and continue till Easter Sunday
night. Father ODonoghue is well
and favorably known in the Capital
City for his eloquence and learning,
and hence we may easily infer that a
rich spiritual treat is in store for the
people of Oakland. During the mis-
sion in the true spirit of charity,
every facility will be offered for the
instruction or information of non
Catholics who may be desirons of
knowing the teachings of the Catho-
lie church. The order of exercises
will be announced next week.

Pollution of Maple Sugar.

Elijah Livengood, who has sugar
camp near Salisbury, just across the
Maryland line, during the first and
only run of the season made II bar
rels of sugar and 24O gallons of syrup,
in all about $500 pounds. The high
est number of barrels of maple sap
collected in one day was 349. Mr..
Livengood has been greatly hampered
this season by mine drainage pollut-
ing the water of the run, heretofore
limid and pure-Baltimore Sun.
Our Garrett county sugar producers
are questioning the above statement
with reference to the pollution of the
sugar water from mine drainage.
They want to know how the impuri-
ties can enter the water. If the pol
luton had occurred in the vicinity Of
Cumberland the matter would have
been plain and no explanation neces-
sary. The pulp mill would have been
held responsible.

Fine Record on Trout,

Fish Commissioner A. F. George,
for the Western Shore, has been able
to get more trout spawn than he ex-
pected and the whole number Of trout
fry sent out by him this season will
be about 100000, instead of over 60O,-
600, as formerly reported. He has 200
applications for stock trout on hand
and says the people of Maryland have
shown extraordinary interest in the
stocking of the streams. He will make
arrangements this week for shad and
perch spawn, but the time for getting
it must depend ON the forwardness
or backwardness of the season.
Mr.. George will go out of Office in
about month and his successor, DIR.
j. W. Downey, Of Frederick county,
will go to BaltilDo ore and talk with
Mr.. George today regarding the
change and will familiarize himself
with the state of the work at the

Yesterday afternoon a freight
wreck in which five cars were almost
totally destroyed and another cal
loaded with bark badly damaged,
took place at the station in Oakland.
The local freight was standing on
the main track, the trainmen being
engaged in unloading goods, when a
coal train drawn by engine 1922 crash
ed into the rear of the local, demol-
ishing the caboose, a dining car, two
gondola cars and a crane car, besides
damaging a stock car loaded with
bark, tearing up the platform for a
distance OF fifty feet or more, and
doing more or less damage to the
tracks and the water stock. Engine
1922 was also badly damaged. Luck
lily the trainmen saw their danger
and jumped in time to save them
selves serious injury. One of the
wrecked cars fell over on the end of
the bridge which leads into the hotel
grounds and narrowly missed strik-
ing woman and two or three chill
dren who were standing on the
bridge.
The tracks were cleared in a short
time after the wreck occurred which
allowed the resumption of traffic oyer
the lines.

In an account published last week
relative to the escape of two prisoners
from the Garrett county Jail it was
stated that the bars had been cut by
them and thus their escape was effect
ed. Since the publication of the item
Sheriff Oester states the bar at the
window had been previously cut and
that in repairing them thimbles had
been insecurity placed over the joint.
These thimbles were forced upward
and the bar being released it was on
ly with slight effort on the part of
the prisoners to bend them at will.

An Editors Frank Admission.

The editor of the Hardeman (Ky.)
Free Press, with frankness that is
absolutely refreshing, admits in the
after Christmas issue of his enterpris-
ing journal that he cannot remember
whether he got out his paper last
week or not. He also admits that he
generally loses his memory at this
time Of the year for about a week,
but as the bulk of his subscribers al
so lose their memories at the same
time, he does not see that it makes
much difference. Judging by the
way he feels, he thinks he must have
had very merry Christmas, and he
also applies the same line of reason
ing to a number of his subscribers to
whom he appealed to know whether
or not he really did issue the Free
Press. Everybody will agree with
this distinguished scion of Bohemia
nism in Hardeman that it is no use
for man to try to remember what
he has forgotten.

We have saved many doctor bills

whenever any of my family or myself

We learn that Mr.. w. McCulloh
Brown, who in 1897 had charge of the
Western boundary survey for theState
of Maryland and who was one of those
assisting in the surveying of the AL
legany Garrett county line, has had
a place offered him upon the U. S.
Coast and Geodetic Survey, beginning
April 1st, and will work in the Mag
netic Division in the Survey to be
made of the State of Virginia during
the coming summer.
The settlement of the prairie in not
like the settlement of timbered
country. The prairie is at once ready
for the pillow, and within two years
the soil is thoroughly subjugated.
The position of the permanent roads
is marked out by the government sur
vey. The cottonwood popular grows
rapidly, and within a short time makes
a shady tree. The school house an
swers at first for a church, but the
church itself is not long in coming,
and in few years the prairie has
nearly every appearance of an old es-
tablished community. The pioneer
ing epoch is therefore brief, yet full
of interest and variety. AS the prairie
fills up, many of the settlers find
things too tame for them, and they
push farther out, SO as to still keep in
touch with the novelty of frontier
life. Only one who has lived through
those days can adequately describe it.
Such description will be found in
"Under the Cottonwoods," by G. F.
Morton, Of Kingwood. He will send
prospectus, ETC., on application. The
book will very soon be ready, and
will be handsome volume of $50
pages and several illustrations. Price,

REPUBLICAN STATE COMMITTEE,

REPUBLICAN STATE COMMITTEE,
AUGUSTA. MAINE, JAN. 4. 1900.
TO the Republicans of Maine:-Prior
to 1892 two Presidential electors at large,
corresponding to the two United States
senators, were nominated in State con-
vention, and the remaining electors, cor
responding to the members of the United
States House of Representatives were
nominated by the several congressional
district conventions.
The passage of the Australian Ballot
law entirely changed the procedure. I'm
der the law, all Conventions are por-
ton Of our election system, and this
ballot act requires that candidates to be
voted for by the Voters throughout the
whole State must be placed in nomina-
ton by convention representing no less
a constituency than the whole State.
Hence, all the candidates of q party for
Presidential electors must be nominated
in State Convention. and have there
fore included in the call six electors.

LAST OF THE COURSE.
Mr.. Il. burton Holmes says Farewei
To His Portland Audience.

II Mr.. Z. Burton Holmes, the lecturer,
In engaged for another course In Port and
next winter, It will be we'll for the com
mittss Of arrangements to consult tne
weather bureau and make better seisc'
tion Of datsslfor him than were chosen
this year. Three Of the i've evenings oil
his vista 10 this city have been stormy.
and on two OF them the recorder 5akiue
storms OF the season occurred.
The fact that about 500 people came
out In the rain and wind and slush. last
evening, and wsded to City hall to at
tend the concluding lecture In the course,
was convincing evidence that Mr.. Holmes
has made friends and established q last
ing reputation during his five evenings
In this city.
His opening lecture on Manila was oon'
sidersd rs fins an evenings entertain
ment Of Its kind as was ever witnessed
here. and some Of those who attended ex'
pressed apprehension that he had unwise'
ly begun hia COURSE with the best, aud
that there would DO gradual t"perins OF
the lectures In the mattsr Of quality. But.
on the contrary, every succeeding lecture
has been an Improvements over Its prede-
cessor. How long Mr.. Holmes could keep
up this ratio Is question that may be
put to the test next year. He is most
enter tanning lecturer, has an eye for tbs
beautiful, the picturesque and the WEIRD
and his pictures are works Of art
The final lecture In the course was on
"Mokt Land" the abode OF the Moki
Indians In Arizona. 1t was indeed, ons
Of the very best In the series. His descrip-
ton of that peculiar. peacs-ioving people,
their mode Of living In rude stone huts,
their farming life and their religious OBJ
servances, was intensely interesting. The
motion pictures showing the snake
dance, In which Indian priests recklessly
handle rattlesnakes and other reptiles.
was SO real as to give the audience the
"cold shivers."
It is said to he sure thing that Mr..
Holmes will be engaged for lecture
course next winter.
