Struck by q Train.

Strawbridgc Gerry, a farmer re-
siding near Rowlandvillc, was ser
iously injured Sunday night by
being struck by southbound
freight on the Columbia Il Port De
post railroad, between Conowingo
and Octoraro Junction. The first
knowledge the trainmen had that
they had struck a man was when
the train pulled into Perryville and
his hat was found on the front of
the engine. On the return trip the
crew of the train found Gerry lying
alongside of the track with a dan.
gerous wound on his head and
otherwise injured. He was remov-
ed to his home and medical aid

News.
Burton Work, of Oxford, a bridge
mechanic employed on the Central
Division railroad, had a remark
able escape from death last Tues
day. With other men he was en-
gagged in removing the false work
from the new iron bridge over the
Octoraro at Rowlandville, when his
foot slipped and he shot downward
to the creek 40 feet below. In his
descent he struck against two pieces
of timber, which lessened the force
of his fall and caused him to strike
the water in sitting position. The
young mans left ankle was broken
and he sustained other bruises, but
nothing of a critical nature.

Valuable Water Powers.

New York capitalists have rec
emily offered one million dollars
cash for the land and water rights
of the Susquehanna Power and
Paper Company at Conowingo. The
New York parties are bidding
against Baltimore corporation for
the water right, to furnish electric
power for the Baltimore street
railways.
The Cecil Paper Company, which
is the present owner of the j. B.
Ramsey paper mill on the Octoraro,
about five miles from Rising Sun,
are installing an electric plant for
the purpose of lighting the mill
and some of the adjoining build
ings. There is power enough at
this plant on the Octoraro to gen
crate electricity for lighting Rising
Sun and surrounding towns.
A new superintendent has been
installed and the output of the mill
will hereafter be confined exclu-
sively to wallpaper, which will be
shipped elsewhere to be printed.
Another valuable water right on
the Octoraro is located at the
Horseshoe" about four and a-hali
miles from Rising Sun. The creek
at this point forms a loop which is
three miles around and only 504
feet apart at the neck. A 365, #.
tunnel through this neck would
connect the stream, with a fall Of
over II feet, without a dam.
Here is power enough to run all
the machinery in the county and
wat ,r enough to dilute a million OF
stock. Any one wishing to secure
the Horseshoe" power can do sc
for considerably less than 81, OOO,,
600 by applying to B. F. Reynolds,
the owner of the unique horseshoe
farm.
There are several more fine water
powers on the Octoraro creek il
Cecil county. The next below thu
paper mill is at Richardsmere
This is one of finest on the creek
The dam at Rowlandville is a frs
class one, affording an immense
power.
i Each of those water powers coplt
be utilized for generating eleotricit,
sufficient to operate machinery
lighting and trolley roads too, a
present not even thought Of. Som,
day in the future these powers will
be used for operating farm machin
cry and take the place of hors'
power at present used.

A Familiar Falsehood.

When a customer seeks to purchase some
well-known, widely advertised, standard
article, and the dealer tries to sell him
something else claiming the offered substi-
tute to be ''just as good, y the dealer is
guilty of fragrant falsehood.
If the substitute were just as good it
would sell on its own merits and would be
called for by customers instead of having to
be unloaded upon them by means of false
hood and deceit.
The very fact of the comparison 'just as
good, proves the claim to be untrue. We
measure up, not down. We measure the
less by the greater, not the greater by the
less. When, therefore, some unknown or
little known article is ranged up for
measurement by well-known standard
article, the very fact of such measurement
and comparison stamps the substitute as a
lesser thing than the standard article with
which it is compared.
But this is only half the truth. By this
we prove the claim ''just as good" to be a
faIsehood, but the extent of that falsehood
it is impossible to estimate. "Just as good"
means, in general, adulteration in place of
purity an uncertain quality instead of a
certain quality, cheap material instead Of
good material. And beyond all this the
adulterants may be not simply make
weights and cheats, but in some cases may
be dangerous poisons.
When the dealer says Just as good, " ask
yourself ''iust as good'' for whom? You
will find in the answer to that question the
motive of substitution, which is the extra
profit paid the dealers by the sale of the
substitutes and limitations of standard
wares. Practically the dealer says, when
practicing the gentle art of substitution,
'sThis is Just as good for you, because it
is a great deal more profitable for me, and
anything is good enough for you which
increases my profits.

take by consulting Mrs. Ella Wheeler

more than half the women Of this coun-
try. An expression of sadness came
into her kind eyes, Country girls?
think the best thing for them is to stay
at home and cultivate their talent
where they can breathe Gods pure air
and where they are surrounded by low
ing friends and parents. Yes; know
of girls who have come to large cities

cost of everything young girl values.
They have lived in stuffy hall bed

been utterly without society and have
realized only too fully the selfishness of

heartrending letters from such girls.
Genius? Why, it isn't matter of en-

WITHDRAW the Bill.

We have hoped that the promoters of
this bill would withdraw it after the
scathing public exposure of its real
character and purpose. The continued
demand by prominent Republicans for
the passage of it has been serious and
deplorable political blunder We trust
that even now these who have been led
to press for the enactment of it can be
induced to remove it from the public
view and consign it to some obscure
resting place from which it can never
be brought to light again. But IL they
shall persist in their folly it will be the
duty of those who oppose them to pre-
vent the passage of the bill by all hon
orable means and to make the major
ity against it large enough to discour-
Ege effectively the support Of such prof.
