New Plan Evolved for Getting
Out Registration.
One Man Spends His Time Call
ing Delinquents.
GETS SHARP REPLIES.
People in General Take Sugges-
ton in Good Nature.
Mayor Bergundthal Denies That
He Is SuIking.

Up to Tuesday night at 10 o'clock,
when the registration books were
brought In from the various wards, the
total registration for the city was 10,s1l-
OF this number 1873 are men and 1913
are women
Out Of the total registration thus far,
s,12s names were secured at the sub
stations in the different wards where
the books have been during the past
week
There are, including today, three days
to register. 1t is probable that if the
weather is good. the registration viii
reach 1900. The last three days of reg
istration are usually the busiest.
BY 10 o'clock tonight. when the office
Of the commissioner of election at the
Auditorium closes. the total registra-
ton should have reached 1880.
Hello. This Mrs. Smith? Well. Mrs
Smith, have you registered2 Yes, this
ia the Republican city central commit
tee. You'll attend to it, viii you? All
right. Remember that the books close
at 10 O'Clock Friday night
For the first time in the history of
Topeka city politics, the telephone is
being systematically used for the pur-
pose Of stirring up registration. The
Republican committee has a man who
is putting in all his time nowadays go
ing through the LelephDNe DOCKS, Gazing
I'D every known Republican, and re-
minding them that the time for regis
tration IS short.
The plan is to call up business houses
and offices as well as private residences.
The business man, when he is known
to be Republican, is asked TO see to it
that all his employees are given a. chance
to register. Business men who run de-
livery wagons are asked to have their
delivery men remind the customers on
whom they call that the registration
books close Friday night.
Like all Innovations. there is q diversi-
~ Of opinion as to the effect of the tele-
phone plan. Some of the members Of
the committee are doubtful about the
advisability OF making people come to
the telephone for the purpose Of remind
ing them that it is time for them to
register.
One woman, when called to the phone
and asked If she had registered, said:
Il don't want to have anything to
do with your old registration. I prefer
to attend to my own business here at
home. and not take any part in poll
ties
Another similar case was that of a
man who is in the optical business. On

The Crop Outlook.

Corn continues to grow very
rapidly, and though in many
instances weeds had to be neg
leeted until cultivation is impoS-
sible, color and general outlook
are very encouraging. Early corn
is shooting and taSseling in all
sections. Oats harvest was adj
vanced with dispatch IN Northern
Central and Eastern Maryland
to point very near completion.
In southern counties this crop has
not recovered from the serious
damages administered by heavy
rain after it was cut, while in
Western counties many fields are
lodged. Wheat threshing has
attained an advanced state in
Eastern Maryland, with good
yields aud quality, but in South
ern Maryland wheat results are
very poor, owing to excessive
wetting. What was threshed in
Northern Central counties during
the past week was damp with
fair to good results as regards
quantity. Haying has not yet
been completed, much grass be
ing still uncut. This crop is
generally light and is being
saved with much difficulty. Buck
wheat has fine start. Flowing

BULL RUN A YEARS AGO.
Last Friday the Anniversary
of Great Confederate Vic
tory.

Forty four years ago last Fri
day, the Dist of July, three
months after the beginning of the
Civil War, the first battle of Bull
Run, or Manassas, was fought,
resulting in an overwhelming
victory for the Confederate forces
and awakening he North to some
conception of the vigor and
strength of the movement in the
South.
In response to the cry of '.On
to RlchmOndm the Union forces
under General Irwin Mcdowell,
were sent into Virginia, and on
July 10th, McDowell'S army of
10000 men was moved in the
direction of Manassas, where
General Beauregard, at the head
OF the Confederate troops, had
established his base with a
smaller force. The engagement
began on the morning of Sunday,
July 2lst, and continued until
in the evening. In the interval
between the battle and the as
sembllng of the troops the Con
federates had been reinforced by
the command of General Joseph
E. Johnston, which had been
hastily sent up from Winchester.
McDowelPs army was divided
into three columns, commanded
respectively, by Generals Hunter,
Tyler and HeiDtzelman. Hunter,
i'll charge of the right column,
bore down on the COnfederates
and after hard fighting dislodged
them from their position. but the
advance of the Union forces was
checked by the stubborn resist
ance of the brigade under the
command of General Thomas j.
jackson, the determined stand
made by that General earning
for him the sobriquet, which
stuck to him throughout his life,
of "StonewalF' Jackson. Through
the gallant resistance of General
Jackson's brigade the Union line
was neld back until the arrival
of reinforcements in the shape
of fresh contingent of General
JOhnstOn's command, under Gen
eral Kirby Smith, turned the
tide of battle against the Fed
erals.
The fresh troops were hurled
upon the flank and rear of Nc.
DOwell's army, which was grad
ually forced from the field and
which retreated towards Wash
ingtOn in haste and confusion,
completely demoralized. The Fed
eral loss in killed and wounded
was 1,500, besides 300 missing.
The total Confederate loss was
about l, 900.

Lexington, KY, when they saw
he was turning yellow. His skin
slowly changed color, also his
eyes, and he suffered terribly.
His malady was Yellow Jaundice.
He was treated by the best doc

he was advised to try Electric

An Argument For an Improv-
ed Road Making System.

Ell ROdQ uudhllS ny oOOlA'
Inasmuch as the Legislature
convenes this winter, can't we
have some legislation looking to a
change in our public road system
asks a writer in last weeks issue
of the Thurmont Clarion. Those
who are able to speak knowingly
on the subject certainly can see
that the old system has outlived
it's usefulness, if it ever were use
ful at all.
Road supervisors are appointed
not so much with regard to their
fitness but as to their politics
both parties are alike in this re-
spect. SIP per mile is levied for
roads indiscriminately, whether
the road need 50 per mile or $50
Supervisors are left to "work"
their road according to their own
individual Judgment. If he is a
good mana man of good judg
ment all well and good, if he has
no Judgment, then what! The
road is either worked in a haphaz-
Yard manner or maybe not work
ed at all. Maybe the water is
turned in the middle of the road,
aud maybe not. The question
naturally arises what can be done
to remedy it! Well that's a ques-
ton: we have our own views re
garding the matter, and we be-
lieve they could be made to work to
a very much better advantage
than the present system does.
We want a competent road engi.
neer to begin with. Then we
want working gangs the same as
are employed on railroads, who
will move from place to place,
building and repairing the roads
as they are needed. Let the re-
pair gangs be equipped with all
the necessary tools, horses, carts,
traction engines, stone cruSher,
road scoops, etc. 1t would re
Quire a number of these gangs to
cover the county, not more than 4
or 3, possibly not that many.
These gangs would make eXtraOr-
binary repairs according to plans
laid down by the engineer; they
would have their instructions to
be guided by and in that way we
would have a uniform system un-
der the direct supervision of a
competent engineer. The argu.
ment against the above plan would
not be as to the expenditure of the
taxpayers money so much, as it
would necessarily take away a
job from a number of supervisors
under this system. Is there any
thing particularly wrong about
that when we are spending the
taxpayers money for the benefit
of everybody 1t should be the
greatest good to the greatest mum
Der. Let us hear from some
of our readers on this subject. 1t
may be that some other way would
be better than ours, but so long
as we don't discuss these matters
publicly, we get no nearer the &C
complishment of something better
than that which we have at pres.
ent.

Washing Summer Muslin and
Madras Curtains.
Written for THE CITIzEN ]

Most any kind of curtain can be
washed by this method given
here-eveu lace curtains 1t pays
one to have frames to dry curtains
ON but if you havn't them, You
can dry them by pinuing them to
an old sheet on carpet in spare
room.
1t certainly pays one to go over
their curtains carefully and mend
every thin place. often haste a
piece of net under the thin places
in lace curtains and it makes them
last twice as long. Before touch
ing the curtains make a hot rain
water suds and to this suds add a
tablespoonful of bOrax to every
gallon of water and shave half a
bar of white soap and add to it.
Put the curtains in this suds to
soak over night. The next morn
ing wash them through awater pre-
pared as the first; then rinse them
as carefully as possible in two or
three waters.
If you desire to have them white.
blue them a little; if you wish
them cream color or yellow, use a
few tablespoonful ofstrOng coffee,
to preserve the yellow tinge.
Muslin or madras curtains or any
kind of thin material can be wash.
ed in this way. Borsx takes out
the dirt and saves rubbing which
is an item with thin curtains.
