1.-THE election of 1905 will take place two
weeks from next Tuesday and yet neither
party in this county has announced any meet
ings. This is something very much out of the
ordinary and many people are curious to know
the cause Political meetings do not make
votes but they serve as sort of benefit for the
proprietors of the places where they are usually
held, as they then get chance to pinch" the
candidates.
-DMr. Jacob B. Wilhelm, formerly of Tow
son, who is now engaged in farming in the 9Th
district, raised this season 250 bushels of pota-
toes on about two acres ofground. A few years
ago some one gave him potato that be liked
the looks of. He planted it and from that be.
potato with success. It'll smooth white potato
of good size and an excellent keeper. He calls
it the Jersey Island.
-Some people are already specializing about
possible changes in the subordinate officers of
the Circuit Court when Judges Burke and
Duncan are elected for fifteen years. There
are four places-one crier and three bailiffs-
and no doubt there will be plenty of applicants
for them. Mr.. George W. Sepp, the present
crier, has been employed in the court ever
since the Civil War. The baiiffs are Messrs.
Rudiger, Linzey and Kaline.
THE Brice Shipley farm of SO acres,
situated on the Reisterstown turnpike at the
corner of Mt. Wilson lane, short distance
north of Pikesvile is now being advertised in
THE UNION at public sale by the trustees,
Messrs. G. Lyon Rogers, Jr.. and Ashby Toll
son. This is splendidly located property in
one of the most attractive sections of Balti-
more county and is worthy the attention OF
those seeking investments.
- The Junior Gunpowder Agricultural
Club celebrated its thirty-frst anniversary last
Saturday when the regular monthly meeting
was held at the farm of Mr. t. Melville Pearce,
in the 10th district. OF the thirty persons who
have been members of the club in that time
only one has died. Three of the original mem.
bers are still activein the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

nothing in any event.

the increased commercial activity of
the Kansas and Territory oil fields will
thus be made.
Another rumor has it that the San
ia Fe is rushing the extension of its
line to Fort Smith. and that within
four months time that point will be
the southern terminal of the fast
trains.
Nothing has been given out by the
local officials of the Southern Kansas
division concerning the likelihood of
the new service being established, but
the Dersistency of the rumor and the
detail which accompanies it does much
to make it seem plausible The Santa
Fe company has expended much mon
ey in improving the Southern Kansas
division. New steel has been laid all
the way from Kansas City to the Ter
ritory. and the rock crushers at Hill
Top, Garnett and Cherryvale have
been kept busy grinding out ballast
for laying on the grade. All these pre-
parations point to one thing-that the
Santa Fe expects the Southern Kan
sas division to become an important
branch of its great system, and that
it is putting it in readiness for handl-
ing a. large amount of traffic.

CARRIED OUT A LITTLE GIRL.
The Attempt of a ChiId's- Assailant
Failed at Strong City.

Strong City, Kas., Jan. "a nys-
ter1ous case of attempted assault oc-
Cured in this city Saturday night
about II o'clock. Rosa Shipman, the
granddaughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Geo.
Crum, years old, was taken from her
bed while asleep and carried to the
southwest corner of the orchard,
where she was quickly found by her
parents before the fiend could ac-
ccmpIish his object. When the child
was found her night clothes were torn
to tatters and her body badly bruised;
her mouth was also lacerated by the
fellows efforts to prevent her from
CRYING out after she woke up. The
child described her assailant as a
white man with a moustache. The
mysterious part of the affair is that
Mr. and Mrs. Crum and daughter
were reading in an adjoining room at
the time the fiend was removing the
window screen and sash by which he
gained an entrance to the child s
room. Their attention was attracted
by the wind Tapping the window cur
tain, and upon investigating the
cause of the noise they discovered the
open window and the absence of the
child. Selling a lantern Mr.. Crum,
followed by his wife and daughter,
began a search of the premises and
v ere finally attracted to the little vic
tim bv her weak cries. A thorough
search of that part of town was made
by officers and a hastily organized
posse until daylight, but no trace of
the fiend could be found

BECOMING LAND HOLDERS.
Santa Fe is Helping Employees in Texas
Become Property Owners

The Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe be-
neves in settling Texas with good,
substantial Texas citizens and propos-
es assisting its employees to buy Texas
lands, Texas farms and help in the up
building of the state while at the same
time sharing in the prospects of the
country.
The plan as proposed is new and
has many advantages to commend it
to the working men. It offers them
an opportunity to buy good farm lands
at very reasonable and easy terms
that they could not enjoy if left to
themselves.
The company proposes helping the
employees to select good farms and
will honor orders on their wages for
monthly payments.
Many of the Santa F'e employees own
their own homes and some of them
own farms, but the majority of rail-
road men are not as thrifty as they
might be.
Printed circulars addressed to the
employees, and explaining in detail the
plan, will be sent out from the vice
presidents Office in g. day or two.

President E P. Ripley will appear

Mr.. Ripley declares emphaticaIly that

azement Of the Santa F'e admits that
the matter was badly handled before
the commission, but offers as an ex-

ages against the railroad The legal
department should, it Is said, have al
lowed the witnesses to make a clean
breast OF the entire matter Had this
been done, 1t is claimed. there would
not have been a suspicion OF wrong
doing on the part of the company.
The basis Of the Santa Fe's defense
will be the through tariffs on file with
the commission on coal from the TTin1-

Santa Fe to Establish New Service

The Chanute Tribune says:
A rumor is being 1ndustriously cir

templates the Inauguration of fast

service is intended to cater to the

the Katy's fast train, the "Katydid,"

more than a month ago.
The Santa Fe was the first railroad
company to recognize the importance
of the oil field, and make an effort to
cater to its trade. The Bart1esville

Texas Legislator Sends Back All Free
Transportation.
Curtis Hancock, a member of the
Texas legislature from Dallas. has re-
turned to the managers of seven of
the large railroads of Texas annual
passes that he received in his new
year mail. Mr.. Hancock sent sting
ing letter with each pass, in which he
says:
II have never taken the position
that a legislator is dishonest when he
accepts a free pass, but 1 do maintain
that it is much easier for him to be
honest without them.
''As you well know, the last two
Democratic conventions denounced
free passes as an evil. This is a law
of my party that shall obey and will
not wait for legislative action upon
the subject to compel me to obey. My
belief is that this legislature will pass
an anti-free pass law. They why do
not your roads anticipate this action
and revoke free passes?
"Are you afraid that the legislature
will not treat you fair? believe they
will treat you as you deserve and that
is all you could expect. Let us stop the
pass evil and give every man a
square deal in the twenty-ninth leg
