SHAME on THENi!

Alderman Kreutzer has succeeded in
putting Mayor Pierce and his faction of
the council In a most uncomfortable
light before the public, even If ne will
not be able to overcome the mayors

there has been in the city council over
the letting OF large contract for mo-
tive power machinery in connection
with the sewage disposal plant, It was
( but natural that a question as to its le-
gality should have arisen. 1t VIII be
Remembered that in order to Garry a
resolution favoring a certain electric
company the mayor had to RESORT to-
casting his own vote to decide tie.
sCompHcations then arose ana the
mayor called meeting. as he STATED,
for the purpose Of considering the ma
ter of the contract. His move was met
by a peremptory adjournment, where
upon immediately before the members
had left the room the mayor announced
that said Contract would be accepted

new insurance for just What said insur-
ance ought to cost, as already estab-
lished by hundreds of old line COM
paniea now doing business. 1t is the
general opinion that reinsurance offers
the best means by which the hundreds
of old men and women past the insur-
able age in any other company can pro-

only way, for, should a receiver be APP

ones remain. Said injunction, which is
claimed to have been viciously inspired
by opposition insurance men in Dies
Moines, has already caused incalcu-
liable damage to the credit of the
Southwestern. Whether such reinsur-
ance can best be obtained in the Con-
servative Life of California or in some
other old line company depends upon
what company Us found to be the safest

dc cided that the first step necessary

There seems TO have been falling on IN the
popularity Of sailing canoes. but what the sport
has lost in this respect has been more than mace
up by the increased use OF padding canoes.
Most people have more less athletic ambition
nowadays. and the sailing canoe does not bring

There is only one way to cure deafness,

imperfect hearing, and when it is en-

EDITOR REGIsTER:-Perhaps some of
the people living in the quiet vicinity of
the old town would be pleased to hear
some truth of the troubles in this part
of the islands. To look at the map one
would say, why, that small piece Of land,
could walk across il in few hours.
Perhaps some of them would like to try
it and then they would find their mis-
take.
Our company came to this island from
Panay on the l1th of October Of last
year, and we have been receiving the
bullets from their wonderful shooting
machines up until the present time. If
some of the newspaper and magazine
reporters who are sitting in cool places
in Manila, drinking iced drinks, would
go out to the smaller places and see
with their own eyes what was taking
place, they would change their reports
about the insurrection being over.
Our company came in few days ago
from a soiourn in the hills, with twelve
men wounded. We attacked seven
forts and captured the first two, but our
ammunition gave out, so we had TO re-
treat. and such one it was. The roads
were all dug up and planted full of
bamboo spears. and every hilltop had
cannon on it, They (the cannons) did
not interfere with our march, for they
do not carry the missiles over fifty
Yards 1t was the condition the roads
were in. They ran through rice pad
dies for miles, and the 'googoos'
would dig the roads up and let the wa
- nn6 all tho ripn
paddles down, and then our fun would
begin, wadng through the mud up to
our waists. We had TO carry all Of the
rations across these places, pack them
on the ponies and travel perhaps mile,
and then go through the same. Then
we came up to the bridges, and while
we were crossing one stream the goo
COOS" would be tearing down the
bridges at the next one. 1t took us five
henrs to march three miles, and we had
eleven miles TO go before we would rest
that night. We reached Lodoc that
night at II o'clock, near drowned, foot
sore and hungry, and lay down in our
wet clothes TO dream of the nice break
fast we would have, and wake up and
find the cook had "bogas' (rice) for
breakfast. Then there were some nice
remarks made about the cook. We
rested there one day reaching here
Saturday at noon, receiving a warm
welcome from the boys.
The major sent TO Cebu for 3.2-inch
gun. and now they are out in the hills
burning everything that will burn, and
killing anything that looks like u mig
ger.
General Sampson, who is in charge of
the insurgents on this island, was, be-
fore he went out to the mountains,
coachman for Colonel Snyder, of the
10Th, and was put in charge Of the Bo-
hol scouts, stationed in this town, and
the 44th Volunteers treated him so
mean that he started small band and
it turned out to be a regular army OF
insurgents. We expect the column in
about Thursday.

remembered to all my friends. Will
write more in the near future.

Upton S. Emerson, well-known
farmer and fruit.grower Of Boonsboro,
died last week, aged SO years.
Mary E. Darlington, aged IA years,
died in Middletown Valley last week,
it is alleged, from the effects of vaccina-
ton.
Samuel House, a B. & o. freight
conductor, formerly of Martinsburg,
was killed by the cars near Cumber-
land last Sunday.
Rural free delivery went into effect
in Frederick county. Nd, last Friday.
There are so routes, and 49 post
Offices have been closed.
A disastrous fire swept over the vii
lage of Middletown, Frederick county,
Va, early last Sunday morning, Sew
eral stores and dwellings were burned,
causing loss of about $4,000.
John, aged II years, son of William
Smith, farmer of near Flintstone
Md, was caught around the neck in
a snare into which he tripped, and
came near dying as a result of five
minutes strangulation. The snare
WAS set for large animal which had
been carrying ofpigs AMI lambs. The
boy was lifted from his feet, and his
companions, terrorized, could not cut
him down for FIVE minutes. His tongue
protruded, his eyes almost popped ont
and his face became black.
Ashby Station, on the Norfolk and
Western Railroad, Il ear Berryville, and
the postoffice at Bayard, were totally
destroyed by FIRE Wednesday after
noon Of last week. The effects of the
railroad, express company and post
Office, including mail and stamps, were
burned, and the stock of goods of
Agent and Postmaster Robert L.
Briggs were also destroyed. The fire
was caused by spark from passing
locomotive setting fire to quantity
of baled hay in shed near the station.
The loss is $4,000, partly insured.
Howard Cole, of Sandy Hook, Nd,
was arrested at Cumberland Tuesday
charged with perjury, on a warrant
sworn out by Thomas j. Cautiman, OF
Harpers Ferry. Cole procured at
Cumberland a license to wed Mr..
Cauffman's niece, Mile Butts, and
it is charged she is only IA years old.
Cole swore she was Is. He then
went to Harper's Ferry, it is alleged,
induced the girl TO come out Of Sun
day school, took her over the bridge
into Maryland and had the marriage
ceremony performed by person who
had no legal right to oficiate. Cole
took his wife to South Cumberland,
where he was arrested
George Seakford was buried twel We
years ago at his home, near Rileyville,
Page county, Va. A few days since
the body was exhumed for removal,
and the coffin was found to be covered
by water, and on examination it was
discovered to be too heavy for removal
without more help, and inspection
proved the entire body was petrifed.
1t required eight stout men to place
it in the wagon. The features were
so we'll preserved as to be readily rec
ognized by those who knew Mr.. seak-
ford in life. The grave was in a lime
tone soil, and it is thought the body
has been covered by water from the
lime rocks ever since burial. The
limestone into which the body has been
turned resembles closely the formations
in the Luray Caverns. The body
weighed 500 pounds.
