The Mystery Solved.

As we suspected, and endangered to imply
last week by dealing with the matter In a
spirit of levty, the mystery of the holes dug
in the mountain turns out to have been the
apparently aimless work of q partially de-
mented man, or more likely, one of those
mining enthusiasts, who, hearing of or fni-
ing trace of some valuable mineral, imme'
dately assumes its presence In paying guam
titles. The latter view Is strengthened by
the fact that no signs of dementia were ap
parent while he was talking 10 different per
sons IN Hagerstown and Smithsburg.
The man, who lives in Pennsylvania and
whose name is HetflefDger, returned one day
last week, was followed and watched, when
he was seen to dig, stopping OF times to pray.
When approached and asked to explain he
replied that "the spirit had moved him to dig
there for gold"
According to our recollection of the &C
count, two men were in the buggy when the
lantern was borrowed the presence Of that
second man has not been satisfactorily ac-
counted for there yet remains, therefore, a
tangled thread or two TO nnwcaye.

Severe Thunder storms.

Beginning on Thursday last and contnu-
ing four days, q series as transforms passed
over this section, accompanied III several in
stances by high winds and always by vivid
and incessant lightning. The wind was of
storm proportions only on Thursday, but 1t
WAS not then destructive here beyond the
breaking Of limbs from trees. On Friday
the chief display was electrical, the flashes
of lightning being low even when passing
from cloud to cloud, and several coming
to the earth in this locality. One struck a
large poplar tree near Mr.. Richard O'Toole's
shop on Boundary Avenue. completely shiv.
erng it Mr.. George Stocksdale, Jr, who
was passing nearby at the time was thrown
out into the muddy street and his umbrella
was cast up into locust tree. Another bolt
struck pear tree about forty feet from the
residence of the Editor and about eighty feet
from point where two years ago locust
tree was struck and shattered. We are very
fond of lightning and enjoy immensely the
splendors of its fiery penclings of the lurid
storm cloud and majestic music, but as this
is the third time that it has come to the earth
within one hundred feet of our home, its ia
miliarity is growing somewhat presumptu-
Gus. Another fash struck and killed cow
for Mr.. William Weller, farmer, on Uriah
Warenfetz' property, two miles south east OF
this place. Mr.. Fred'k Morris barn at Logs
was struck and damaged but not set on fire.
Thursdays storm wrecked barn for Mr..
William Long, at Logs.
The rains that have accompanied these
storms have been of vast benefit to all grow
ing crops, the grass is recovering somewhat
from the effects of the drought and tue corn
is showing up during the past three weeks.
Serious damage was done by tue wind in
some sections of Frederick and Carroll coun.
ties on Thursday, and on Fiday and Sunday
Washington county was visited by severe
thunderstorms, the lightning having struck
number of buildings, damaging some and
burning others, among others the first Luth.

ICOMMUNI GATED.

Mr. EDITOR:
II the Supervisor on the road
from Graceham to Creagcrstown would have
instructions to make the middle of the road
h0LloD and the sides high, wonder if he then
would not be prompted to fill up the large
pond in front OF the gate at the "Flror Farm"
just few hundred yards below Graceham.
There always has been mud hole at that
place, and each supervisor sees strictly to Its
preservation. 1t can be easily fixed, and it
should be fixed. The water can be drained
toward Creagerstown by cutting proper side
drains, and the fixing Of the whole thing
would not take over day, or two days at the
outside, and it would make the road first
class. That it is horrible now, and an out
rage on the travelling public, goes without
saying
Mr.. SUPERVISOR, whoever you nre. cont
you please .fr IT,
WEARY TRAVELLER.
Note by the EDITOR That particular
mud hole is the dividing line where two SUI
pervisorships end and from time immemorial,
saith the oldest inhaoitant," it has been
agreed between supervisors that each should
claim that the care of that mud hole was The
duty of the other. During the years of said
time immcInorial the public has been driving
through the mud at that pcint, except during
seasons of drought

To go to Germany.

Col William A. McKelIip, of Westminster,
was on Thursday appointed by President
Roosevelt Consul at Magdeburg. Although
Col McKellip's friends, principally of the
Grand Army of the Republic, had urged him
for Consular position to the President and
the latter had promised to give him place,
the appointment on Thursday coming so
soon was surprise both to the Colone! and
his friends. Magdeburg is pleasant city in
Saxony, of which it is the capital. 1t is
about rs miles southwest Of Berlin, and is
sought by tourists principally because of
magnificent cathedral, said to be the hand
soonest in Germany The salary of the post
is So 900.

Anent Education.

Discussing the Normal School invesliga-
ton ordered by the House of Delegates and
Mr.. Strauss published report, the Westmin'
ster Advocdte says:
1T Is a question to be considered whether
or not class of theorists are not running to
extremes in the matter of education A COM
mlltce of common sense, practical men TO
report upon this, should be appointed by the
next Legislature. Most boys who go thro'
high schools and colleges want to lay aside
the shovel and hoe and the girls despisc the
washtub and the dishrag."
The Baltimore Sun, commenting on the
subject of latter,d day education has this to
say:
zone man who can run a farm intelligent
" or shoe horse or build house is worth
more than dozen whose only accomplish
ment is to spout Cicero without understand
ing him. Classical learning was once the
only learning, but that day is long past.
There are now many practical sciences and
occupations better worth the attention OF
the average citizen. This is shown by the
fact that good stone mason, carpenter OF
glassblower gets better wages by the day or
year than manga teacher who teaches Latin
These two views, taken largely from the
same standpoint, have reference only to the
"higher education" of high schools and col
leges, but find reason for their expression
in the claim that the state Is under no great.
er obligation to provide for the special edu
cation of teachers than for the special edu
cation of civil engineers, accountants, doctors
or mechanics. This is an open question upor
which our ab!est thinkers sincerely DISAGREE
