It is expected that the new Office
building which will be erected about
500 feet south of the Capitol will pro-
vide sufficient accommodation for the
members Of the House to permit of a
separate office to each Of the nearly 400
members of the lower chamber, some
thing they have not enjoyed for many
years. The architecture of the Office
building will conform to that Of the
Capitol and the Offices will be elabor-
ately and expensiy ely furnished. From
the centre of the Capitol to the eleva.
tors in the new building will extend a
tunnel through which will run NINA
ture electric railway for the accommo-
dation of the mem bers and their friends.
The improvements, it is expected, will
require two and one half years for com.
pletion and, including the site for the
new building and the furnishings, will
cost not less than $6.5O0.00O.

Bridge Agreement.

The Board of County Commissioners met
in regular session yesterday and transacted
the regular routine business. In the matter
of the proposed new joint iron bridge over
the Monocacy river at Poole's Ford, letter
having been received from the Carroll coun'
ty commissioners saying they are now ready
to build the bridge, it was ordered that the
whole board meet the Carroll county COM
missioners at Union Bridge on Tuesday,
February gath, to confer about the matter.
The building of the bridge at Poole's Ford
is matter that has been talked of for the
last three or four years but until this time
the boards have not been able to get together.
1t is now thought the meeting will bring
about the much needed Improvement

The Grand Jury.

We extract the following from the report
of the grand jury, whose session ended on
Monday:
Having met on the 81 day of February,
1908, the first day of the term, the session
was concluded ON this 10Th day of February,
1908, and during that time 1872 witnesses
were examined and So cases Investigated,
out of which number IS indictments were
found and 80 cases were dismissed.
The fact that so many cases were dismiss
ed may lie due to several causes, but the
principal reason seems to be that parties are
held on trivial offences for the Investigation
of the grand jury and a number OF witnesses
being summoned in these cases, and in our
opinion makes an expense to the county not
only in the matter of taking up the time OF
the grand inquest, but also makes an expense
to the county in fees of witnesses, magistrate s
and constables.
~ here seems 10 have been since the last
grand jury was discharged period of unu,
sual peace aud quiet in the county and per
haps, with the exception of the violation OF
laws regulating the sale Of spirituous and
fermented liquors, there have been but few
infractions of the laws.

of witnesses in regard to the violation of the
law against gambling at the Fair Grounds
last fall. but after hearing all the evidence
and receiving certain assurances from the
officials of the Agricultural Society, we dis

Germany receives $34s,0Oo, the full

Judgment Of Minister Bowen, has laid
the foundation for the ruin Of her trade

The only change in the Statehood sit
uation during the past week has been
the addition of the Omnibus bill in the
form of a rider to the Postoffice appro-
priation bill. AS the conferees of both
the Senate and the House under whose
consideration this measure would nat
urally come, are all favorable to State
hood, Senator Quay regards this az a
decided victory. Senator ElklnSspeak-
ing on the subject today, told your cor.
respondent that he regards the fight as
practically won. He said the Senate
would be forced to permit the question
to come to vote add that the State
hood supporters were quite strong e.
nough to pass the bill as amended. Sen
ator Hale, on the other hand. expressed
grave doubt OF the Quay forces having
sufficient strength to override the chair
which, be said, would throw out the a.
mendment on a point Of order certain
to be raised. Even if they mustered
sufficient strength to override the chair
that will not mean victory, in the opin-
ion of Senator Aldrich, who declares
that the Senate will debate the bill aud
precipitate an extra session of Congress
rather than permit the establishment of
such precedent, as the passage of ir-
relevant and general legislation as an
amendment to an appropriation bill.

When SaEdow poses and the muscles

think we have before us the very secret
OF strength in those magnificent muscles.
But we haven't. Starve Sandow, or,
what is practically the same thing, let
him be dyspeptic, and his ruscle would
soon fail. Strength is made from food
properly digested and assimilated, and
no man is stronger than his stomach, be-
cause when the stomach is diseased di-
gestion and assimilation are imperfect.
