Maryland at the Fair.

Mr.. Orlando Harrison, of Berlin, one
Of the Maryland Commissioners to the
Worlds Fair at st. Louis, has returned
home. He is enthusiastic over the exhibit
ton and is proud of the part that Mary
land is taking in it, In letter to the
MESSENGER he says:
Never has there been such a Fair
gotten mp by the people of this country.
The Fair has outgrown all expectations
even of the first promoters. President
Francis said at the reception given by
the Missouri people of st. Louis. at the
Maryland Building known as the Mary
and St. Louis Club, that this great
Fair had even outgrown his predictions.
The people of Maryland are made TO
feel proud of their state TO be welcomed
as they are in st. Louis. No people
have received more attention than the
Marylanders. The Maryland building is a
credit to our state and is home for every
visitor; it belongs to the State and every
one is welcome. 1t is well located on
one of the best avenues. beautifully de

CLEVELAND MEANS DEFEAT.

All this talk about Cleveland
as n candidate for the Presi-
dency is "hot air." and it is
good for the party that it is so.
Mr.. Cleveland would make the
weakest candidate the party
could nominate. Not but what
he has Il great many admirers,
but there are thousands of
Democrats who would not vote
for him because of his failure
to support the ticket i'm the last
two campaigns. Mr.. Bryan
and many of his friends would,
no doubt do much toward the
accomplishment of his defeat.
They. however. would not be
the principal factors. The
thing that would bury Mr..
Cleveland deeper than the
devil i'm the deep blue sea would
be the slogan of the Republican
party. 1--WE want no Cleveland
Hard Times.
The Republicans left him a
legacy of a bond issue and a de-
pressed business condition
which eliminated during his
administration i'm the ''hardest"
times known for years. So,
the nomination of Mr.. Cleve-
land would furnish Il campaign
slogan of cleveland and Hard
Times" which would spread
like wildfire and carry such
conviction with it that our old
friend Grover would be the
worst licked man who ever ran
for the Presidency save Horace
Greedy.

ACCIDENTS
Narrow Escape OF Lad From Death
Horse Killed In Hay Field.
SAD DROWNING OF LITTLE BOY.

George Atkinson, young son of
VIM. 7. Atkinson who operates
the Jos. Lincoln farm, near Harris
vile, had narrow escape from
what might have been fatal acci-
dent to him on Friday last. The
lad was driving a horse rake in the
hay field, to which pair of horses
were attached, when the tongue
broke and the animals became
frightened and ran away. The
breaking of the tongue caused the
boy to pitch forward from the
machine. Falling in front of it he
was caught in the teeth and dragged
some distance, it only being through
the breaking out of two teeth by
their catching in some obstruction
that he was freed from his perilous
position, and while badly cut and
bruised about the head and
shoulders, his escape from serious
or perhaps fatal injury was mirac-
ulcus.
After going a short distance fur
ther the end of the tongue ran into
the ground, causing the rake to
be thrown bodily, and with great
force, upon the horses, an iron rod
penetrating one animal to the
depth of about IS inches and caus-
ing its death, its mate being also
badly injured. The machine was
a total wreck and hardly made
good material for the scrap heap.
On Friday afternoon last Bed
ford Dempsey, five-year old son of
Mrs. Annie Dempsey of Pilot, was
drowned by falling into an aban-
doned spar pit filed with water.
The little lad, with a companion,
Curtis Trimble, was playing about
the pit, on the farm of a neighbor
when the accident occurred. He
slipped down the steep bank into
the water, which was about six
feet deep, and was drowned before
help could reach him. Curtis ran
home and informed his mother as
soon as he saw his little companion
take the plunge. Mrs. Trimble,
with several neighbors, FASTENED
to the scene and took the body
from the water, but life was extinct.
Coroner Nelson was notified but
deemed an inquest unnecessary.
