Civil War. 1S61-IS65.
1t was the first and most desirable
point of vantage coveted by both the
the Federal and Confederate armies.
In May, 1851, the four Federal advance
columns concentrated at Parkers-
burg, w. Va, Wheeling, w. Va,
Harper's Ferry, w. Va, and at Wash
ington. To retain the advantage,
the Federal government established
block houses along the railroad from
the Monacacy to the Ohio river, be-
sides forts at Winchester, Harper's
Ferry, Cumberland, Piedmont and
New Creek (Keyser). The B. & o.
was the base of operations for the
Federal army for nearly four years
and from which the government could
not take advance line earlier than
November, 1864. The B. & o. was
the means of communication between
the West and the Army of the Poto-
mac, and was consequently in con-
tinual state of siege. Harper's Ferry,
the key of the Shenandoah Valley,
first famed through the fanatical at
tempt of John Brown, in defying the
laws and customs of his country, was
captured or recaptured eight times
in three years. The Government Ar
senal and armories which were locat.
ed there, were destroyed by the gov
eminent to prevent their capture.
One hundred and seyenty-nine bat
ties of greater or less Importance were
fought on or adjacent to the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, not taking into
consideration the innumerable Skin
mishes

"THE CAT CAME BACK"

In 1901 Gov. Smith, of Maryland,
called a special session of the Legisla-
ture for the purpose of tampering
with the election law. The work was
done under the eyes of the Democratic
bosses, and one of the most radical
changes, against which there was a
general protest, provided that the en-
tire ballot should be void if there was
the slightest error in marking any
part of it. For instance, the candi-
dates of all the parties were grouped
together in alphabetical order, and,
supposing there were twelve candi-
dates for the Legislature and only
four to be voted for, if the voter hap
pened by mistake to mark five names,
the whole ticket was void, and could
not be counted for the candidates OF
any other office. At the recent mu-
nicipal election in Cumberland the
Democrats complain that this nature
of the law lost them the mayorality
and they are greatly Disguised lot.
No permanent political advantage
was ever obtained by fraud.-Davis

The Seventeen-Y Year Locusts

While the seventeen year locusts
are emerging from the ground in in
creasing numbers in other localities,
none have as yet appeared in Oak
land. In the lower section of the
county, however, it is different, espe-
cially in Bloomington district, where
they are quite thick. The insects
when they are present in large num-
Der emit a continuous noise, which
when noted in single individual
closely resembles the word Pharaoh, "
long drawn out, but that is, of course,
purely incidental and not, as the su-
perstitious suppose, a repetition of
the name of the Egyptian monarch
who provoked the plague of locusts
in the time of Moses. The locusts of
the plague were of an entirely differ
ent sort. Apparently the insects are
being destroyed in great numbers by
the English sparrows.

A GRAND SUCCESS.
The "StOry of the Reformation" Presented
to Immense Audiences

The "Story of the Reformation" Presented
to Immense Audiences.
THE Story of the Reformation as
presented by Mrs. H. E. Monroe was
both an artistic and financial success.
She was assisted by seventy of the
young people of town. The audience
was made up of the leading people of
Oakland
The entertainment opened with a
church professional. This was led by
six peasant couples carrying the flags
of the different countries they repre-
sented. Next came the German stu
dents. These were followed by num-
Der of ladies and gentlemen repre-
senting the German States and car
rying the flag of Germany. Then
came the ladies representing the
United States of America. During
| this professional the different figures
were executed in very skillful man
ner. The young people deserve great
praise for the excellent work done in
marching and for the fine chorus work
in this professional.
Next in order came the monk and
choirmen scene This was very well
received. Chas. A. Tower made an
ideal monk. His portrayal of that
character was exceedingly good.
Following this came the "Story of
the Reformation" told by Mrs. Mon
roe. Her voice is we'll modulated and
she is thoroughly conversant with
her subject, consequently all were
delighted with her lecture. Mrs.
Monroe lectures between each scene.
This lecture is illustrated with stere-
opticon views which adds very much
to the effectiveness.
Next came the Diet at Worms. This
is perhaps the strongest scene of the
evening. Here Luther is summoned
to appear before the emperor and
answer the charges brought against
him. Rev. Uhler, as Luther, certain
ly did himself great credit. E. z.
Tower, as emperor, was exceedingly
good He has commanding pres
ence and an excellent voice. W, r.
Offutt, as elector, was certainly de-
cided success. His Interpretation of
the character of elector of the King
of Saxony left nothing to be desired.
The side and military men aided very
much in making this scene pleasing
to the audience.
The solo by DR.. John q. Robinson
was very well rendered and much ap-
preciated. The tableau at the close
of this scene was very striking.
While the Diet at Worms was per-
haps the strongest scene there is no
doubt that the Nun and Novice scene
was the most impressive. The solo
by Misses johnson and Nelson were
very highly appreciated. Mrs. George
l. Uhler, as Abbess, was very good.
The tableau at the close of this scene
was beautiful and effective.
The last professional was thought
by many to be the prettier of the two.
Elm Feste Burg was sung at the
close of this with very good effect.
The two pages, little Eleanor Hine-
baugh and Morris Sincell, did ex-
ceedingly well. The universal ver-
dict is that it was undoubtedly the
best entertainment ever given in
Oakland. Mrs. Monroe is booked for
one of the Chautauqua entertain
ments at Mountain Lake Park and
the class here have been invited to
assist her.

ANOBLE SPEECH.

The speech which President Roose-
welt made at Arlington Friday was,
perhaps, the most noteworthy public
utterance of the President since he
sent his message to Congress last fall.
Is was highly appropriate that the
President should take occasion to de-
fend the living soldiers of the nation
from SANDER on the day devoted to
the commemoration of the soldier
dead. This was done by the Presi-
dent without swerving an inch from
his announced attitude of hostility
toward those guilty OF cruelty. THE
M oct COM
fact that for every gun.y 49,
mitted by one of our troops hun
dred acts of far greater atrocity have
been committed by the hostile natives
upon our troops, or upon the peace
able and law-abidiDg natives who are
friendly to us, cannot be held to ex-
cuse any wrongdoer on our side," is
an extract from the speech that gives
the keynote of the inspiring words of
a soldier addressing soldiers. 1t is a
high standard, but none too high.
Mr.. Roosevelt adverted to the de-
plorable lynchings in our own coun-
try, but not as means of supporting
sophistical argument that two
wrongs justify a right, or that cruel
ties elsewhere justify cruelties on the
part of the soldiers in the Philippines.
On the other hand he gave the clear
and logical deduction that the eXcep
.tional cruelties on the part of Ameri.
lean officers in the Philippines afford
far less justification for general con-
demnation of our army than these
lynchings afford for the condemnation
of the communities in which they
have taken place. In each case it is
well, also to refrain from including
both the guilty and innocent in the
same sweeping combination"
The most important section of the
speech is, however, one that discoun-
tenances the visionary talk of extend
ing, at this time, promises of indie
pendence to the Filipinos, when
that independence does not war
rant the hope of the blessings of
freedom to the individual. wherever
in the Philippines the Instruction
has been definitely and finally put
down, there the individual Filipino
already enjoys such freedom, such
personal liberty, under our rule, as
he could never even dream of under
an independent Aguinaldian oil
garchy,n said the President; and af-
ter outlining the task of instruction
in the slowly learned and difficult art
of government, the President ad-
ded: when they have thus shown
their capacity for real freedom by the
power of self-government, then and
not till then will it be possible to de-
eide whether they are to exist indie
pendentlY of us or be knit to US by
ties of common friendship and inter
est. When that day comes it is not
in human wisdom now to fortell."
The wise statesman addresses him
self to the problems of today, and
defers the problems of a future day
to time when they may be more
wisely solved in the light of the de-
velopments that are essential to their
sagacious solution. The work of in
struction in self government has been
auspiciously begun.
