sixty eight degrees Fahrenheit In
this important requisite the Oakland
site it is respectfully submitted, is in
comparably superior TO any other
eastern site offered.
1t fully meets the seventh requisite,
viz: Plenty OF pure water, the Yough-
iogheny River, vigorous stream, ris-
ing in and flowing through the unpol-
luted valleys through the mountains
of thinly settled country, furnishes
such pure and sufficient water sup
ply as is afforded by no other site offer
ed the Committee. This river runs
along the whole eastern border of
theproposed camp site, from
at the Pennsylvania line, to its
junction with the main line of the
BALTIC. & Ohio Railroad, which forms
its southern boundary This water
supply is supplemented by numerous
mountain streams, the chief of which
are, Dunkard Lick Harrington
Creek, Murley Run and Toliver Run,
all of which rise in the Shaggy noun
tains on the western border of this
camp site and run through the camp
to the Youghiogheny River. The
sources of these streams are the pei
lucid and unpolluted springs of the
western mountain range. No camp
site could be better watered nor afford
greater and better facilities for bath
ing than are furnished by the Yough-
iogheny River and these mountain
streams.
The latter portion of requisite No.
seven, facilities for sewerage system
and disposal of sewerage, is compile
tely met by the topography of the
land and by the Youghiogheny River,
the eastern border of this camp site.
1t might be added in this connection
that sanitary conditions in this loca-
ton are perfect. Malaria and it's kind
red disease are unknown. The mos.
quito is stranger in these parts.
1t is confidently believed by the
people of Maryland that no camp loca-
tion can BIS selected, which will meet
the requirements of conditions Nos.
eight, nine and ten for transportation
facilities and the other requirements
contained in these conditions, so com
pletely as the Oakland site. Troops
can here be collected and sent to their
homes with the utmost possible dis
patch to and from more States and
cities, in a shorter time, than from
any other proposed site.

Proverbs

When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
It is like the penny in the
u. !; because it works and
because there is something
aston shing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
milk Of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is soperfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is tie most satisfactory treat
ment.

Lansford Man Suicides.

Anton Jordit, a yaung man %
years Of age, who worked for his
nearest neighbor, Mr.. Bachman,
near Lansford, grew weary OF
life and ended his earthly career
sometime between Thursday
night and Saturday morning by
taking a quantity OF strychnine.
He went down in the cellar at
the Bachinan home and crawl
ing into a potato bin, took the
fatal dose. He was found Satur-
day morning. Jordit was IL hard
working young man and well
liked by everyone. He had
worked for a thresher this season
and had quite a sum Of money
coming which he feared he could
not collect. This led to his rash
act. On his person was found
$65 and he had grain worth
$500. His brother had a claim
joining his. The jury found that
the young man came to his death
from taking a dose of strychnine
voluntarily. Jordit formerly
lived at Preston. s. D.

GUSBY, THE NEGRO
GETS SIX YEARS

nesses were Geo. Nelson: Frank
b. Abbott. Mrs. DeLane, Sever
Ness, Jens Skoor, Jack Nickols,
Carl Kir&ilie, A. z. Scofield and
DR.. Crokat. Abbott told the
story Of the shooting Just the
same as the Independent printed
it the time of the murder. Abbott
stated that when Gusby returned
from the cooking car with the
rifles, he was first shot at, then
Gates was shot at, both bullets
missing. Gates then ran around
the stack and when crossing
some plowed ground fell, the
bullet passing through his back.
He died instantly. The negro
seeing that he had committed
murder. then ran across the
prairie followed by Hendrickson
and his son. who first went to
their home and secured guns.
The negro once turned and shot
dangerously close to his pursuers.
The gun with which Gusby
killed Gates was shown in court.
The shovel which Gates struck
Gusby with was also shown.
The fact that Gates struck the
negro over the head twice with
the shovel and called him indec-
ent names, weighed wonderfully
in the negro's favor. In fact it
can hardly be seen how he could
have escaped the gallows had it
not been for this provocation.
The negro was known to be a
good natured fellow and he
certainly stood all kinds ofabuse.
The Ward County independent., 1904-12-14

Earl William Gusby, the negr Q
murderer OF Gates, the Portal
thresher. was found guilty OF
manslaughter in the first degree
by the Jury shortly after l o'clock
this morning, and sentenced to
six years in the peritentiary.
Gusby, who has been very conf
dent that he would be set at
liberty, was rather blue, but
made no demonstration. The
Jury in the case consisted OF w.
B. McGinty, A. w. McAlpine, r.
J. Stem, Chas. Madden, F. l..
Humphrey, A. E. Shaw, Joe
Homiston, R. D. Johnson, Alfred
Thompson, Bert Sewell and Thos.
Wood.
Some of the jurors wished to
give the negro ten years and g
half while Others were as low as
five years. Six years is a long
time in Jail, and while the general
public look upon the sentence as
rather light, it may be enough
under the circumstances. The
negro is but a young man, and
altho he was greatly provoked,
he should have time to reflect
over his rash act. Atty. Sutton,
who has worked very hard in the
negro's behalf. feels jubilant that
his client got Off SO easily.
The negro was given a very
fair trial. n. O. Hendrickson and
son Miles, who did a very brave
deed in capturing the negro after
he had killed Gates, were the two
principal witnesses. Other wit

HOW LIGHT BILLS ALL
GET OUT ON FIRST.
Time Saving Devices Used to Get
All Bills I'm at Once.

Time Saving Devices Used to Get
All Bills UD at Once.
In order to expedite the work. the
Savannah Electric Company has adopt
ed the envelopes with the transparent
fronts for mailing out their bills.
Having so many bills for lights to
go out all at one time, the task is an
enormous one, yet all the light bills
are issued during the first two days
of every month.
In order to do this the entire office
force in the light department is put
to work reading the meters about the
25th of each month. If meter is read
before the last day. of a month, then
the next month it is read on the same
day, so that it makes no difference to
the consumer.
A new form of bill has just been
adopted, which has to be folded only
twice before being put into the envel-
opeS. The names of all consumers
are kept set up in rubber type and are
printed on the bills by a patent ad-
dressing machine, such as newspapers
use. Only the amount of the bill has
to be written.
The bill when folded and placed in
the envelope shows the name of the
consumer through the transparent
face, SO that they do not have to be
addressed. The work is thoroughly
systematized and it is the exception
when a bill is as late as the Sd of the
month getting out.

Church in America, held in Sidney

Its sessions were all interesting, be-
cause the participants were sane and
Christian clerymen," said a member of
the conference. 1.-The delegates ex-
pressed themselves as highly pleased
in every way. The Introductory SER
mon by Rev. r. L. Edwards, A. NJ,
of Florida, who was ordained Bishop
Sunday night, was a mastery effort.
THE general superintendent, G. H.
Hynes, preached the educational SER
mon. Text, The fear of the Lord is
the beginning of knowledge His ease
and earnestness brought to him con-
gratulations.
The Quadrennial sermon by Bishop
G. w. Macklemore was from the text,
The one great evil under the sun The

believed that in years to come this

RECORD FOR INCOMING TRAMPS
BROKEN so FAR THIS SEASON
Thirtyeight Steel Monsters Have Come to Fill
Their Capacious MaWS.

Many records are being broken at
the Savannah port in connection with
the movement of this years cotton
crop, one of the most significant of
which is the largely increased num-
Der of big tramp steamers to come
here for cargoes of cotton, and their
increased tonnage.
So far this season the tonnage rep
resented by cotton-carrying ships
which have put in at Savannah has
been SO754, which is greatly in excess
of the same season in former years.
This tonnage is represented by thirty
eight big tramps, exclusive of sailing
vessels of all kinds, and also exclusive
of the coastwise lines which carry
great quantities of cotton from this
port to, New York, Boston, Philadel-
phia. Baltimore and other points.
Cotton men generally are inclined to
the belief that the exporting points
will eventually be narrowed down to
Savannah, Galveston and New Or
leans, as there is already a tendency
among cotton men to get together in
each section, and this may be the chief
cause of the yearly increasing bust
ness through Savannah, and the cons
