Prospects of financial legislation during
the coming winter are very slight. Rep.
resentative Hill of Connecticut, who was
the ranking member of the last House
committee on banking and currency,
admits that the republicans are consider.
ing plan of appointing joint committee
which will investigate the need of chr
rency legislation and make recommeu-
dations to Congress. 1t is not known
whether the committee would be chosen
by Congress or appointed by the Presi-
dent, from the members of each house.
The investigation would be thorough and
would postpone any congressional action
on the subject of finance until after the
presidential campaign. This is regarded
by republicans as good political move,
for the party is divided both on the neces.
sity for, and kind of financial legislation.
and it is better that the several factions
should submit their differences 10 this
committee, than discuss them in Con-
gress. With tariff revision and financial
legislation postponed the republicans
claim that they could enter the campaign
without betraying any lack of harmony
in the party. Secretary Shaw will in the
meantime continue to deposit government
funds in the national banks and redeem
or refund national bonds. BY these
methods he has placed over twenty-five
millions at the disposal of the banks since
the first of September.

Engineer Askew's Body Found.

Hooper Freeman, of Elkton,
while on the south side of the
creek in the rear Of Holly Hall, on
Tuesday afternoon, found the body
of Engineer George Benjamin
Askew lying on the shore near the
boat house at that point. The body
was partly covered with sand and
mud and was lying face downward.
1t was badly decomposed from
long exposure. In the pockets of
the dead mans clothing was found
his watch and a bunch of keys.
The watch had stopped at $3.50,
the hour at which the accident
occurred which resulted in his
death. Askew was engineer
on extra freight No. 161, north
bound over the Philadelphia, Balti
more and Washington r. r., which
passed through Elkton shortly
after s o'clock on the morning of
January last. While examining
valve on his engine as it was
crossing the bridge over Big Elk
creek, the engineer was leaning so
far out that he was struck by one
of the iron Orders and hurled into
the creek below. The creek had
been dragged repeatedly but the
search for the body proved fruit
less. Johnson's wharf, near where
the body was recovered, is a mile
and half or more below the rail-
road bridge.

BONE FOOD

Soft and crooked bones mean
bad feeding. Call the disease
ricketts, if you want to. The
growing child must eat the
right food for growth. Bones
must have bone food, blood
must have blood food and so
on through the list.
SCOTS Emulsion is the right
treatment for soft bones in
children. Littledoses everyday
give the stiffness and shape
that healthy bones should have.
Bow legs become straighter,
loose joints grow stronger and
frmness comes to the soft
heads.
Wrong food caused the
trouble. Rightfood will cure it.
In thousands of cases SCOTS
Emulsion has proven to be the
right food for soft bones in
childhood.

Maryland and several other States are

to be the most active since the Civil

The third annual tournament of the
Rising Sun Gun Club, to be held at Ris-
ing Sun Wednesday and Thursday, Oct.
2Ist and 22nd, is to be big affair. The
managers say they expect fifty shooters
and if all things turn out as expected the
shoot will be one of the largest ever held
i'll this State. j. A. R. Elliot, champion
of the world f. d. Fulford, Neal Apgar,
Fl. H. Stevens, ]. M. Hawkins, /. L..
Lawrence, all expert shots known all over
the country, will be on hand representing
their different companies These gen
tlenen, be it known, shoot for targets
only, as the third annual is to be for
amateurs alone.
The Sliding Handicap, the best system
of handicapping known, will be used.
This means that our own boys and those
who can shoot about rs per cent or SO
per cent average will get their share. For
instance if the shooter shoots straight in
one event he shoots in the next event at
the twenty yard mark, if he misses one
target he shoots in the next event at
nineteen yards, two targets at eighteen
yards, three targets at seventeen yards,
and all other shooters go to sixteen yards,
thus it will be seen that no one class or
man can get the lions share. Then
another feature that is drawing card is
the added money, $50 being added to the
purses by the Club.
Many shooters from Maryland, Penn
sylvania. and Delaware have signified
their intention of being present and the
managers are doing everything in their
power to make the affair big success.
Special arrangements have been made
with the Maryland House to accommo-
date the shooters both for over night and
for shooters dinner after the shoot on
Wednesday. Two handsome medals will
be given as average prizes, the first prize
being the L. c. Smith trophy, a magni-
ticent piece of gold and enamel. The
second prize is medal handsomely
engraved.
Plenty of the best kinds of ammunition
will be for sale on the grounds. Come
out and bring your friends. Ladies are
invited to witness the sport and special
arrangements will be made for their &C.
commodation. You don't get a chance
to attend shoot like this often. Anv one
who has failed to receive program and
desiring one address,

Delaware Wants Immigrants.

The State Board of Agriculture
and Bureau of immigration, has
had printed $4,000 descriptive
maps of Delaware, containing facts
concerning the situation, population
and growth of crops in the State.
Nearly 1000 of the maps were
printed in the German language,
and will be distributed in Germany,
where it is hoped they will attract
attention and that many immigrants
will come to Delaware.
There are 10000 of the maps
printed in English. They will be
distributed throughout the United
States and Canada, with the same
idea. The result of the advertising
so far has been satisfactory to the
Board, and many Immigrants have
settled in Delaware.

Lost His Arm.

Henry Clemens, of Lower Oxford,
while on a visit to his father at
York last week, met with a serious
accident. In attempting to cross
the tracks of the Northern Central
railroad he fell in front of freight
train. One arm extended over the
rail and was severed by the car
wheels near the shoulder. An
ambulance was summoned, and on
reaching the scene of the accident
the driver, Emanuel Clemens, was
shocked to learn the injured man
was his brother. Henry Clemens
was taken to the hospital where
the remaining portion of the arm
was amputated and the patient, it
is thought, will recover.

An analysis of the powers that are be-
hind the demand for financial measure
is enough alone to make the ordinary
citizen shy at it. Here is brief analysis
given by the New York American, of the
Aldrich BILL "Senator Aldrich is the
father-in-law of John D. Rockefeller, Jr.
His bill contemplates change in the ex-
isting law which compels national banks
to deposit government bonds as security
for deposits, so that the Secretary of the
Treasury may receive municipal, county,
and first mortgage railroad bonds as
security for the money to be issued BY
the national banks. In other words, the
Rockefellers, Morgans, and few others
who own practically all the first mort,
gage bonds of the railroads, could
issue money against them, which could
be used for the purchase of more bonds,
which in turn would be security for more
money, and so on indefinitely"

When an opponent of public ownersl

When an opponent of public ownership
attempts to stagger you by declaring that
public ownership of the railroads will load
debt of about eleven billions on the
American people, ask him who pays the
interest and dividends upon the eleven
billions of railroad stocks and bonds now
Undoubtedly the people who travel over
the railroads and who consume products
shipped over them. But government
credit is better than the credit of any
private corporation, no matter how big it
may be; hence Uncle Sam would pay a
much smaller rate of interest on the
eleven billions than is paid under private
ownership-which would be saving 10
the whole people.

During the campaign of 1896 we were
assured by the opponents of free silver
that it was impossible to raise the price of
silver by legislation. Now will these
same representatives of plutocracy come
forward and explain the recent rise in the
price of silver when the government was
purchasing it for Philippine coinage, if
it was not owing to the increased demand
for it through legislation that provided
for its purchase?
