to p per cent of the Dingley rates the

letter from James Davidson. a large
beet sugar manufacturer of Michigan
and Wisconsin. claiming that the pass
age of the proposed bill would ruin the
beet sugar industry in the United

Mr.. Fordney said every farmer a his
district is opposed to the bill. The beet

he said. was 2O9 O00 tons.

CONGRESSMAN Pe0rre
Stricken III ct Desk
His Attack Pronounced by Representative
Godfrey Hunter, Physician, One of Con-
vulsiOns From Nervous prOstratiOn

frey Hunter of Kentucky the only ply
sician of the House, came to Mir
Pearre's aid. and rendered him needed
medical attention. Dr. Hunter pro-
nounced the case one of commissions
from extreme nervous prostration-
The attack was NOT of long duration
and Mr. Pearre soon recovered con-
sciousness. His condition is regarded as
not necessarily critical. He has not yet
recovered from a spell of typhoid fever
from which he suffered last summer
He was taken 10 his apartments at the
Grafton.
Much Excitement Created.
Much excitement was created by the
illness of Mr. Pearre- a stampede of
members seemed imminent. and was
only prevented, probably, by the cool
ness of Speaker Cannon. He asked the
members to return to their seats, and
then declared recess while Mr. Pcarre
was being carried from the chamber.

A Popular Fallacy.

Answering a question of Mr. Lamar,

hy Senator Reed Smoot today before the
senate Committee on Privileges and
Elections, in the investigation TO deter
mine whether his obligations as an apos-
tie of the Mormon Church constitute any
bar TO his giving full allegiance TO the
National Government and making true
iasistencc upon the enforcement of the
laws of the land.
After making the replies quoted, Sena-
tor Smoot announced that he wished TO
make a statement on the subject In
this he advocated the Mind your own
business rule Of the Mormons. and the
policy of keeping hands off all Nor
mon affairs until death removes the vio-
1ators OF the law.
Wants No Interference.
The Senator's explanation was as fol-
lows:
The manifesto as voted upon by the
people had no Interpretation whatever
as to unlawful cohabitation. That ques-
ton has never been presented and sus-
tanned by the people at a general con-
ference and some people feel that it is
not binding upon them for that reason.
After the manifesto was issued, there
was disposition among all classes of
people there TO tolerate the old condi-
tions, thinking that was the quickest
way to solve it. And 1 believe the ques-
tion will be solved by the people of Utah
Just as soon as death will remove
them" CThe present yiolators OF the
law.)

A Dreadful Accident.

A frightful accident befell Roland
Myers, son of Mr.. and Mrs. James NJ.
Myers, of Sbepherdstown, last Sunday
afternoon at Martinsburg. Mr.. Ny
ers, who is about "a years of age, has
been employed as an electrician by
81. S. Shade, and has been working in
Martinsburg for the past year. Last
Sunday he had been skating with a
number of other young persons just
east of Martinsburg, and was return
ing home along the railroad tracks.
A freight train was approaching
the party, and Myers playfully stepped
in front of it. AS it came nearer he
jumped to the adjoining track, and it
was his undoing. A helper engine
had come up behind him unObserved,
and it struck him and threw him
against the other train. A serious
wound was inflicted upon hi, head,
the scalp being badly lacerated and
possibly the skull fractured. His right
arm was dreadfully crushed also, and
he was altogether most seriously IN
jured.
The unfortunate young man was
taken to the Kings Daughters Hos
pital, whore he was attended by Drs.
Myers and Henshaw They found 1t
necessary to amputate his arm above
the elbow, and this was done Sunday
night.
The news of the accident reached
here Sunday evening. His parents
and sister were greatly shocked, and
his mother has since been Frustrated
by the unfortunate event. His father
at once went to Martinsburg, but Ro-
land was unconscious and unable to
recognize him. His sister, Miss Daisy
Myers, spent Monday with him, but
he was unconscious NEST of the day.
The unfortunate young man Is we'll
known in Shepherdstown, where he
was born and raised, and there Is
great regret here at the calamity that
has befallen him. He was married
year or two ago to Miss Engle, OF
Martinsburg.
A message from Martinsburg this
morning states that Mr. Myers Is get
ting along fairly well, though he had
a rather restless night. He has been
unconscious most of the time, though
at times be recognizes those about
him. Yesterday he recognized his
wife for the first time and took some
nourishment.

Lookout for the Bear.

LOOKOUT lOT tuS DSdI.
There has been good deal Of ex-
element in Sharpsburg district the
past week over the discovery that
bear has been prowling around the
neighborhood, and some persons are
sort of nervous. The disappearance
of the bear was last Saturday, when
his tracks were discovered in the snow
on Samuel F. Hebb's farm, two or
three miles above Shepherdstown. 1t
i. also said that Mr.. Hebb saw the
bear, = moderate sized animal of
dingy gray color. The bear was
tracked to the river at Snyder ware
house, where the trail was lost. Later
his tracks were again found, heading
toward Sharpsburg, and soon the bear
hunt was in full blast, with a Consid-
cradle crowd, armed with guns Of
every sort, including some relics from
the battle of Antietam, in the exciting
chase. NJ. E. Snavely had been the
first to see the tracks on Monday, and
he led the daring hunters. The bear
was travelling eastward, and it is said
that Sunday night ne killed a couple
OF sheep. He was pretty close to
Shephsrdstown, passing within about
a mile of town, but fortunately on the
other side OF the river. He was
tracked to point near Antietam
Cemetery, and thence eastward toward
the mountain. By this time the snow
had melted and the trail was lost,
though it is pretty certain he is now
in the mountain east Of this place.
1t is supposed that the bear was
reused from his winter nap in Side
ling Hill mountain by the great blasts
that are being set off by the Wabash
contractors, and he is seeking more
quiet spot to resume his slumbers.
Maybe he is going to Frederick.
The presence of the bear caused
more or less anxiety IN the Sharpsburg
neighborhood and some folks won't
rest easy until they are certain he has
gone to sleep again. sharpsburgers
will keep after him, they say, until
they shoot him, if it takes all winter.
One ingenious man thought he could
be caught by putting salt on his tail,
but he was silenced when he was
scornfully informed that bears have
no tails to speak of. Mr.. Keesecker,
keeper of the Shepherdstown bridge,
hopes the bear won't try to cross the
bridge. The rate of toll for bears is
not definitely fixed. and Mr.. Kesseck-
er doesn't wish to argue with the bear
about the price.
