Kinley. This is the third President Oh
whom attempts at assassination have
been made. Two of them have died and
it is feared that President Mckinley may
share a like fate. John Wilkes Booth
gained an unenviable notoriety by his
assassination of Abraham Lincoln, and
Charles Guiteau went down to history /
with Booth, as the infamous murderer of |
President Garfield; and possibly this as
sassin Of Mckinley wishes to place his
name upon the scroll of murderers of
persons in high places. That this coun-
try should be the home of anarchists, So
cialists, nihilists, and other organizations
of foreign import, is a pity, and "pity
tbs It's true" How is it to be remedied
We cannot suggest one. But it appears
that with all the wisdom for which the
American people are noted, something
must be done in the way of legislation to
rid this country of scamps and cranks of
foreign import; if nothing can be done
with those who are native to the soil
The attempt is with the trial By what
we have said of "scamps and cranks of
foreign imports" we do not wish to be
understood as meaning all persons of for
eign birth who have emigrated to this
country. We have some nice citizens of
foreign birth, many of whom are SUI
perior 10 the native born, and are an
honor to America; our illusions are only
to those who come here for the purpose
of exciting sedition, and have no hest
fancy in declaring themselves Anarch-
lists, Nihilists, and the like. Such per
sons as Herr Most and Emma Goldman
should be banished from America.
Tomatoes are booming. They are
going up so fast that peaches are lost
sight of. Thirty-fve cents was paid the
latter part of last week and is being paid
this week at the Milton Station. Most
of the shipment is being made by rail to
Baltimore, through D. NJ Conwell, prin-
cipal agent for Baltimore factories.
It is noted that the Wagaman Bros,
who recently purchased the Paynter
Mill property in Milton, will remove
their steam mill outfit to this stream.
Water power is cheaper than steam
power, other things being equal. This
is not only pretty, but beautiful
stream. The lower part embraces Lake
Fanganzyki, with its romantic shores
bordered on the north by its pretty
shores made most beautiful by its clus
tiers Of growing grapes; on the east by
its splendid building growing populace
and 'ever-to be admired churches anC
school building of Milton; on the soutl
by the railroad. and the little town O
Georgetown. Point Desolation, a prom
inent cape that extends into Lake Fer
ganski on the se 5iuiitnwest, IS much ad
