Our farmers should be on the
lookout for gang of men who are
operating a new graft. Their
scheme is to O Ill on the farmers at
their home and offer for sale new
method of making butter, with a
county agency attached. When
once their names have been seour-
ed to bind the contract, the exper-
fence is more expensive than to
buy a carload of wind pumps or a
barnlot of lightning rods. Farm
ers in the northern part of the
state were bled for thousands of
dollars this spring on the same
graft Harrison County Herald.

Occasionally an advertisement
will fall AT. The wise man looks
for the reason. He doesn't say
blindly: advertising doesn't pay"
He looks at the condition of gen.
eral trade, at the weather, at the
goods and the price and the way
the ad was worded. This is Ger.
tain: a readable ad in a readable
paper will be read. Probably not
by all>of the readers of the paper,

the ad pay, if the goods are right.

terrltoly, near the Turkish frontier, last
week, according TO authoritative intelli-
gence- The captives were lodged in caves
and fires were lighted TO protect them from
the severe cold. Since then the brigands
and the women have gone TO some place
unknown.
The fact that violent measures. such as
muulation, TO extort ransom were not
taken indicates that the brigands are un-
der the impression that the longer they
wait the better will be the terms obtain
able. This attitude is regarded as being
partly due to the publicity given to the
subscriptions toward the ransom, and IL is
increasing the difficulty experienced by
Consul General Dickinson in his EFFORTS
TO reduce the brigands demands.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 6.-Returns received
in this city up to midnight and including
every county i'm the State, partly official
and partly estimated indicate a result in
the legislative contest which is almost
without parallel i'm Maryland The most
careful estimates and calculations give the
Democrats forty-six delegates and seven
newly elected senator's, which, combined
with the ten who hold over in the Senate,
assures the friends of Mr.. German total
of sixty-three on joint ballot The Repub-
licans il appears have elected forty-nine
delegates and six senator's. which. added to
their three hold-over senators, gives them
a total of fifty-eight on joint ballot. These
figures indicate that the Republicans will
be able TO organize the House of Delegates.
The situation in Baltimore city is a pc
cuiar one in that the returns from the
Second legislative district are in such an
incomplete state TO make the result
there uncertain as TO two legislative candi-
dates. The election judges i'm two precincts
became involved last night in a contrO-
versy over the rejection of several ballots
and finally locked the ballots and the poll
books i'm the ballot box and turned them
over to the supervisors of election with
the statement that they declined TO sign
the returns. One of the Democratic candi-
dates lacks but ninety-seven votes of cleo
tion and another needs but 10S. The Re-
publicans seem inclined TO concede the
election of the nrst mentioned when the
returns are in from the two missing pre-
cincts, but assert that the other will be
beaten. The ballots will not be counted
until noon tomorrow, until which time
nothing definite can be known. One OF the
surprises of the day was the close vote in
Allegany county, heretofore safely Repub-
lican by majorities ranging from 100 10
1900. The Democrats have elected their
senator and one delegate in that county.
and the result as 10 the remaining four
delegates is close. st. Mary's county. which
had been considered doubtful, has gone
solidly Democratic. and Washington VIII
kinson, OF the picturesque figures on
the Republican side Of the Senate. is rele-
gated to private life.
