A. WHEELER MICHAEL.

On Monday last one of the substan-
Rock passed away aitizaIe ,Qf. Firm
Mr.. A. Wheeler Michael. He was an
honest farmer and an upright man,
and in his death the community has
sustained great loss. He was a use
full man and a consistent member of
the M. K. church south. He was a
son of Judge Jack Michael, 40 years
of age, had long suffered with Bright's
disease, returning from Johns Hop
kins Hospital just before his death.
He leayes a wife and little daughter
Mary, to mourn his early death along
with a large circle of relatives and
acquaintance, all of whom feel that
his death has bereft Firm Rock of a
man who had always word of sym
pathy for the distressed. His body
was laid in the Michael cemetery,
Rev. W. H. Ballenger performing the
religious services.

writer is. However, there is no harm
in saying that the writer of the letter
referred to complains of frequent Wis
its to GrantsYille by boys and men
from Salisbury who go to our neigh
boring town ON Sundays, get DRINK
and otherwise desecrate the Sabbath.
This, of course, is all wrong, but the
Salisbury toughs are not alone to
blame. The Grantsville Sunday liq-
uor seller, whoever he may be, is also
to blame. In fact he is more to blame
than those who drink the booze and
make themselves generally disagree
able, for if no liquor was sold in
GrantsvilIe on Sunday, none could
be drank there by the crowds from
Salisbury. Moreover, our correspon-
name to a written complaint, when
the complaint is just one. Only the
moral coward will write an anony-
nous letter. Besides, our correspon-
dent should score the Sunday seller
as well as the Sunday drinker Over
here our saloons are closed on Sun
day, and if our Grantsville friends
want peace and order in their town
on the Sabbath, they should see to it
that they have no open saloons in
their town on that day to entice our
thirsty citizens their way.
Mr.. Chas. H. Bill. formerly of
Grantsville, but now of Racine, Wis,
in letter to the Star calls to mind
some of the incidents of our boyhood
days, some of them pathetic and some
of them quite ludicrous. Mr.. Bill
went to Racine about 90 years ago,
where he is member of the firm of
Welt, Bill and Elsner, boot and shoe
merchants. He says he will come
east in the very near future and spend
six or eight weeks at his old home in
Grantsville, Md. Charley" has not
only prospered in the West, but he is
also the owner of several fine pieces
of real estate near Grantsville. One
of them is a fine 7j-acre tract which
he intends converting into forest
park. There are already about $50
thrifty young black walnut trees on
it, and more will be planted. Char
ley also has an interest in the BONG
farm west of Grantsville, being mar
ried to a daughter of the late August
Bong, and it is believed that the
farm, which is a large one is under
laid with valuable deposits of coal.
The heirs think of doing some drill
ing in the near future, and Mr.. Bill
informs us that he expects to make
old Grantsville his home again IN the
future. Well, it is pleasant town to
live in.

The LAIE SAMUEL SPECHT.


At the Great Age of IS Years the Death
Summons Came.
Samuel Specht was born in SOmer-
set county, Pa, January 4, 1914, and
died at McHenry, Md, March Is, 1902,
aged IS years, . months and II days.
OF family of four brothers and two
sisters he was the last TO pass from
this world to the beyond.
April 81, 1889, he was married to
Susan Kimmell, daughter of Peter
and Rose Kimmell. His children are,
Mrs. Jacob Mosser, Mrs. David Fra
ker, Mrs. Jonas Glotfelty, Mrs. Frank
Suter, Jonathan, who lived only
about four years, Mrs. Brison WEIGH,
Mrs. George Fulmer, Samuel P, a
successful business man of Deer Park,
Mrs. Adam Sell, Lincoln Edward, who
died in infancy, and Jacob Emory
About 90 years ago Mr.. Specht mi
grated from Somerset county, Penn
sylvania, to what was then Allegany
county and improved the farm now
owned by Samuel Mosser which was
then wilderness. la 1859 he re-
moved to Deep Creek on the Thayer
farm and it was pleasure in his de-
clining years to relate the adventures
akin to pioneer life.
After converting d greater part of
tha +ip,Ear into l,,1iI1;pcr mo far;ol h.,
disposed of the farm and purchased
the McHenry farm at McHenry which
has been his home the greater part of
the time since. July z, 1888, his com
panion departed this life. He was
married to Eliza Moore about one
year later. His second companion
lived only lew years after marriage,
leaving Jacob Emory as the only
child. In 1894 he was married to
Mary Bolyard, who is still living.
He was a member of the Seven Day
Baptist church for about 80 years.
He was kind and obliging; good
neighbor and always seemed to de
light in doing good to his fellow men.
The funeral was preached by Elder
Samuel A. Miller, of the German Bap-
fist Brethren church.
He was peacefully laid to rest in the
old home burying ground on the farm
now owned by Samuel Mosser. Thus
to this earth will be known no more
one whose smiling countenance al
was welcomed and greeted all.

J. W. BEATTY MUST HANG.

West Virginia Court of Appeals Afirms
Verdict in Preston County Case.
Among the important opinions
handed down by the West Virginia
Supreme Court of Appeals Saturday
was one in the case of the State against
J. Wesley Beatty, from Preston coun-
ty. Beatty was convicted in the
Preston Circuit Court of murder in
the first degree, without recommen-
dation. His crime consisted in the
brutal murder of his brotherin-law,
David Nine, near Terra Alta, whom
he shot with double barreled shot
gun. An appeal was taken to the
Supreme Court, various errors being
assigned in the pleadings. The opin-
ion rendered by Judge Poffenberger
affirms the opinion of the jury and
the sentence of the court, which is
that the prisoner must hang. Mrs.
Beatty, Mines sister, refused to sign
a petition asking for communication of
sentence for the husband.

GARFIELD GNAGEY.

Garfield, the seventeen year old son
of Jonas Z. Gnagey, died at she fam
lily home at Salisbury, Md, on Friday,
March 18th. The remains we're
brought here Sunday during the
morning hours and taken to Grants
vile, Md, where they were inferred
in the family lot of the Grantsville
cemetery Sunday afternoon. The
father and daughter, Lulu, accom-
panied the remains. They were join
ed here by c. +. Gnagey and wife, of
Pittsburg, and Blaine Gnagey, of
Renova, Pa, sons of Mr.. Gnagey.
The young man was most exemplary
youth and there is much sympathy
felt here for his father and the sur
viving members of the family. 1t
was a sad mission, and a very sad
homecoming especially at Grants
vile where the family had so long re-
sided and are SO highly esteemed

ARMY EMCAMPMENT.
No Selection Yet Been Made and Mount

No Selection Yet Been Made and Mount
Gretna Too Small.
Oakland's chances for the perma-
nent army encampment are still good.
In the appropriation bill now be-
fore Congress no mention is made for
a fund to purchase the land at Mount
Gretna which was recommended by
the Army Board and advices from a
reliable source seem to indicate that
that site is inadequate for the de-
mands to be made upon it should the
recommendation of the Army Board
be adopted.
Congressman Pearre is hopeful for
the ultimate selection of the Garrett
county site and will put up pretty
stiff fight to land the prize. He is
ably assisted by the rest of the Mary
land delegation in Congress.

THURSDAY, MARCH 81, 1902.

W. J. BRYAN, the twice defeated
candidate for the Presidency, and
who evidently thinks that all Demo
Gratis must agree with him or the
dickens will be to pay, is rapidly be-
coming an adept at mud-slinging as
shown by his latest effort ia calling
ex-President Cleveland a traitor, in
CRATE, and nonentity. The animus OF
the attack is the letter recently writ
ten by Mr.. Cleveland to F. NJ. Run
nels, Mississippi editor, in which the
former President says he is overjoyed
to see that the time is fast approach
ing when our grand old party will
shake off the dreadful dreams that
have afflicted it and fight again as of
old, the glorious battles of pure De-
mocraey." Cleveland may have his
faults, but as a statesman he is a
giant compared with the Nebraskan.

The ANARCHISTS, it appears are
following the debate in the Senate on
the bill to protect the President of
the United States with interest and
characteristic defiance. They pre-
tend not to be disturbed as to the
outcome In their opinion any law
in line with the bill now under dis
cussion will fail of its object. They
will meet the issue at all times and in
all forms.
Only the other day pamphlets were
distributed in some of the busiest
streets in New York setting forth an
archist doctrines and proclaiming an
archist purposes. In one of them APP
peared this statement;
Anarchists have no fear of any
laws Roosevelt may enact for the sup
preston of anarchy. Certain indi
viduals may be prosecuted. Persecu
ton manures the soil upon which
ideas grow Hang man on the scat
fold, and you hang his ideas on the
stars.
IF the act of Czolgosz were inspired
by some personal grievance he had
against Mckinley, if it were the re-
suit of some real or fancied personal
injury, all men alike might justly re-
gard him as a common assassin. But
anarchists and many who are not an
archists discriminate between acts in
spired by narrow personal revenge
and those acts performed with the
-'hey oo 1-sset;-,o- humanity. Hence
mon assassin, but as a lover OIL nlea..
Kind. They consider the shooting of
the President merely social act, and
claim that the assassin was justified
in taking the life of the ruler of this
land"
From this fact it can be seen that
the anarchists themselves make the
very distinctions that are insisted on
by the advocates of the Senate meas
ure. They divide the assassins into
common assassins and social as
sassins. In their vile parlance, the
killing Of President Mckinley is de-
scribed as social act" The indi-
vidual did not enter into the calcula-
tions of Czolgosz. If he had Czolgosz
would have been but a common"
assassin, and all men would be iusti-
fed in execrating his memory. But
he struck at the state. He performed
the social act" with his pistol, and
was therefore social assassin.
And the anarchists hold that for kill
ing President Mckinley he is entitled
to admiration and gratitude.
The man who takes upon himself
as Presidents are warned now that
they do-the perils of Office should be
surrounded with all the protection
possible under the law, and the law
be broadened to make sure that no
assassin for any reason escapes the
extreme punishment.
