The Washington police have re-
ceived letter from man of the rame
of G. L. Ulmann Of Oakland, CAL,
informing them that his name is on
the United States treasury notes Of the
series of 1880, and that he wants the
police to find out the responsible
person aud have him punished. The
writer says the name is printed in in
visible ink and can only be seen by
using lighted candle. He is positive
that he is the man alluded to on the
treasury notes, because he is the only
man on earth who is named Ulmann.
He says he never was in the United
States treasury in his life, and has no
idea why this unauthorized use of his
name should have been made.

A Peculiar Aeeide ut.

A man by the name of Jasper Rhyn-
ard, living about three miles west of
Ashley was killed by vicious sheep last
Tuesday in rather peculiar manner.
In company with others Mr. Rhynard
had driven some sheep to the Maple
river to wash them, and some of them
getting out of the pen he chased them
to drive them back. In doing so he fell
down and just as he arose to his knees a
large buck struck him just over the
heart. He got up and drove the sheer
away and then remarked TO his boy
"He struck me hard" and then fell tC
the ground without uttering a WORD
afterwards, although he continued Il
breathe for about fifteen minutes. HI

the spring, which was only about on'
and one half foot deep, she saw that he

alarm to some passers by, her husband

announce the death of Mrs. Margaret
Marie McChnton which took place on
the 18th inst. at two o'clock a. m. The
funeral was held in the st. John $

of both the Dr. and Mrs. McClinton
were among the mourners. Mrs. Nc

There had of late been little hope for
her recovery, although everything pos
sible 10 human power and skill was done
for her by her devoted husband and
mother.
The deceased was the only daughter
of Mr. and Mrs ID. II. Sullivan and was
born October 2l, 1874. She was mar
ried July :. 1898, TO DIR n f. McClin-

She was we'll known and loved by a

offerings were exquisite and plentiful,
and came from so many individuals that

from the societies included Miss Smith

A public meeting will be held in the

along the line. If we hope to derive any
of the benefits TO be had from this line,
running as it does directly from the

the fact that some movement has got TO
be made by our citizens to secure the
road. The meeting Monday night will

The Pick-UpS" Win

The game scheduled for last Tuesday
between the college team and what was
styled the alma Pick Ups proved
rather of surprise TO the fans and root
ers, inasmuch as the "pick-ups' were
an unknown proposition. For the oc-
casion the managers of the association,
formed a short time ago to control ball
team in Alma during the season, secured
players from abroad who were desirous
of joining the club with the idea of
ascertaining their abilities as ball play
ers, and, although the men had never
before played together, it was hot
game from the start TO finish, the college
team playing exceptionally fast ball, but
they were up against a few professionals
and were in too fast a class. However,
they hope TO strengthen the team and
have issued a challenge to the managers
of the town team for return, which
will undoubtedly be played next Tues
day or Wednesday. The managers of
the town team expect to sign several of
the players of last Tuesday and will also
secure several others 20 make it a strong
enough team to go up against anything
! in the state. Several of the local players
especially distinguished themselves in
the game; DR. Sweetland, at first, play
/ ing faultless game, Fauver on third,
doing the right thing at the right time,
demonstrating that he could play base
ball as we'll as football, while Pete Fatty
in the right field won praise from the
entire line of rooters for his fast work,
and at one phenomenal catch was pre-
sented with bouquet of dandelions
The battery was all that could be desired.
The college battery was somewhat weak
ened, unfortunately, and therefore did
not put up quite so good a game as
usual. If the managers secure the play
ers that they hope to for the town team,
Alma will have two as good baseball
teams as there are in the state The
score of Tuesdays game by innings is
as follows;

silver, and be elected ma, NAL delegate
from this State. 1t is a great fight, and
as usual fight between Kent and Sus-
sex on one side and New Castle county
ON the other.
AS matter Of fact this fight is of little
Importance relative to the national cam
paign but is really fight foI local lead
ership, in view Of the Senatorial election
at the coming session of the State Az
sembly. The chances for the election of
a Democratic United States Senator next
winter are very small, SO small that the
wonder is that both these Senatorial
candidates should think them worth
fighting for. That they are making the
political fight of their lives is an open
secret. Biggs now appears to have the
bone of contention in his possession.
Handy will attempt to get it away from
Biggs. The fight is scheduled for the
State convention. Willard Salisbury is
saving wood but keeping his eyes open
for a chance to grab the prize and run
away with it.
How this fight, end as it may, is to
affect the State campaign does not ap-
pear. The funny part of it all is that
these preliminary fights should relate to
the Senatorial election. The State AS.
sembly is sure to be Republican. That
is conceded. 1t what then does the
Democratic hope Of securing United
States Senator consist? This is the un-
answerab!e question. Sure it is that just
now the fight for local leadership in the
Democratic campis between known Sena-
torial aspirants, and the State campaign is
not in it. ? J. Ford is regarded as having
good start for the gubernatorial nomi-
nation, and while other names are cas-
ually mentioned as those OF possible can
didates, there is no open antagonism
against Ford. That fact of itself is
ominous. 1t presages defeat. 1t appears
like allowing Mr.. Ford to carry off a
prize that no one else thinks worth the
having. Never before, at least where
there was chance for success, was the
chief prize of Democratic campaign SC
easily won as is this one which now
appears to be conceded to Mr.. Ford.
We repeat that is ominous not only ol
defeat, but Of expected defeat.
The assumption that this is the.Demo
cratic view Of the campaign at this stage
of the game, answers other wise un-
answerable questions. Union Republic
can success at the Philadelphia conven
tion, and a united Republican vote in
this State is now generally expected and
this assures Republican victory here in
November

the peculiarites of the Democratic situa
