Political.

The three town district primaries
Tuesday evening selected delegates to
the county convention as follows:
11-John Chambers, J. B. Shannon, c. II.
Hamlll, P. J. OBrien and Edward Winner
12-John Conlon, p. A. Purcell, James
Garvey, John Footen and Joseph Moody. IL
26-Edward d ,nahue. Henry Mayer,
Perry Weimer, John Donahue and J. N.
Parker.
The Cumberland NcwS voiced an APP
prehension that "the organization would
turn over the delegation" to Rockville to
somebody unknown.
But the example set by 9th district
congressman III allowing themselves to
be turned over to represent an admins
tration instead of the people is one
which, it is hoped, both parties will
cease following.
The Frostburg delegates and those
from number of other Creek districts
will favor ii Shannon delegation to
Rockville
The convention at latter place will
meet next Tuesday.

Accident al Wolf Crssk

The town of Wolf Greek was the
scene Of a runaway in which Mr..
Atwood. man about 90 years OF age,
living about y miles north OF town,
was seriously injured. Atwood and a
small boy were driving team north
ward and at the point where the wagon
road runs parallel 10 the railroad the
horses became frightened at an engine
standing on the track, which at that
place is a number OF feet higher than
the wagon road. The horses started to
run and Atwood braced himself and
held ON to the team until the reins
broke and he was helpless. The horses
kept on some distance in their mad
career until tley colided with a tele.

striking the pole squarely in the center,
the borses going ON either side. The
shock threw Atwood forward striking
his head on the pole causing fracture
to the skull and rendering him uncon-
fcious for number OF hours, The boy
was thrown much greater distance
but aside from being bruised was not
injured

GUS treatment of all diseases. While
he treats with electricity and medicine,

He has been crowded with patients

cases the results have been satisfactory
as the published testimonials will bear
witness. Among the latest testimonials
is the one printed below, which was per-

The average American, no matter
what his politics may be, is not likely TO
enthuse over the prospect Of turning the
country into an empire" As there has
been nothing in the course OF events to
indicate such an outcome possible II Ia
amusing in the extreme to note the long
and highly colored articles that appear
daily bearing on the empire question.
Probably not one man in 500 believes
that we are tending in any way toward
such destination, yet men will pursue
such stuff, look wise and predict calami'
ties that would make a timid person
quake in his boots. There is too much
OF this thing going on for the good o.
the country. The man who is busy al
the work bench, the desk OF any othel
place has no time for such things, and
he never bothers his head with lurid
tales OF awful things to come. He is the
good citizen; his country, his town and
his home are his pride, and he is ever
found willing to put his shoulder to the
wheel and help push the world along

Progress and prosperity are the rule OF
the hour. 1t is folly to attempt to deny
this and greater folly to take any couree
which would change the conditions
which allow us TO be prosperous and

means a continuance Of the present
trend OF afaiis, while the election Of
Bryan could not fail Of upsetting the
conditions TO some extent at least,

sequent impedlment TO prosperous ad-
