The wedding of one of the most popular
and attractive young ladies Of Frederick
county took place at the home of the
brides parents in Thurmont yesterday
morning at $50 o'clock.
The bride was MissBessie Horton Freeze
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Freeze
of Thurmont. The groom is Mr.. J. Wal
ter Smith, a prominent citizen and pros
porous miller, of Chambersburg, Pa. The
ceremony was performed by Rev. M. l..
Beard of the Lutheran church. 1t was
the impression of the numerous friends
of the bride that the marriage would take
place on the 2lst Of this month, but the
couple desiring to avoid the excitement
and furry of the usual wedding, antici-
pated the date and were quietly married
yesterday in the presence of only the i'm
mediate members of the family. The
bride was attired in white taffeta, over
which was beautifully draped Persian net.
The happy pair slipped away on the lO.45
Western Maryland express for weeks
tour of northern cities. Cards have been
issued for reception to be given by the
brides parents at her late home in Thur
mont on November 81, after which Mr..
and Mrs. J. Walter Smith will be at home
to their numerous friends at their future
home, 81 East Market street, Chambers

To Have and TO Hold,

To have and to hold beautiful COM
plexion is desired by every woman, young
or old. Few women are blessed with ma
lures most desired gift-a good complex
ion; but every woman can improve her
complexion by the judicious use of Ry-
dale's Liver Tablets. These tablets pre-
vent the blood becoming ladened with bile
which deposits in the skin layers, causing
that muddy appearance called bad COM
plexion. They make the skin clear and
white, they make eyes bright, the step
bouyant. They are pleasant to take,
pleasant in effects. Fifty Chocolate Coat
ed Tablets in each box. Price, Is cents

On Sunday, Nov. 18th, the South
was visited by a disastrous storm.
Great damage is reported in Missis-
sippi, Arkansas and Tennessee, and
five lives are said to be lost. Owing
to the wires being down in many places
details are meagcr. Much OF the
northern half Of Mississippi was cut
off from telegraphic communications
with New Orleans all today. Reports
reached the Western Union Telegraph
Company, however, that the
storm was of cyclonic intensity in the
region of Winona and Grenada, and
that several buildings and one church
had been damaged or blown down at
Winona, while Grenada suffered still
greater damage. Canton, town a.
bout 65 miles south of Winona and
the nearest point to the latter place
reached from here, reported that moth
ing whatever had been heard of Win
ona since the storm. Canton was
swept by heavy wind shortly before
daylight, the worst of this appearing
to have passed farther North. Jack
son, Miss, reported a high wind and
hailstorm during the night. In New
Orleans the storm made itself felt by
the highest temperature for this sea-
son on record during the last 10 years.
The mercury rose above so, causing
extreme discomfort. A high wind
accompanied the heat.

co-incidenc that the very day the Gov
eminent instituted it's suit to dissolve
the Standard Oil Trust Secretary Shaw
should give notice that the Treasury
Department does not intend to be
worked by the great metal trust,
known as the American Smelling and
Refining Company. Since July the
Government has been buying silver
at a steady increasing price and since
August first there has been an advan-
tage of from 65.44 cents an ounce to
u cents last week when the Secretary
of the Treasury announced that the
Treasury would buy no more silver
at that price, though its previous pur-
chases had amounted to about 200, 600
ounces week, the silver being used
to increase the supply of small coin
age to meet the growing demands OF
business.

LIME AND WATER HOLDING OF
SOIL.

An expert examination of very
tough clay soil when it was hard and
dry revealed the fact that on such soil
layer of water two inches deep re-
quired Twenty-Five days and nineteen
hours to penetrate it; whereas, when
this same soil, under the similar con-
ditions, was mixed with two and a
half per cent of Lime the water COM
plcted the pcrcolation in only seven
hours. If such soil were located on
the side of hill, and heavy dash
ing rain would fall on it the natural
tendency would be to wash down the
surface soil, carrying with it the sur
face fertility and probably some of the
crop growing on it; whereas, if such
soil were lined, the water would pass
down into the soil so quickly that the
washing would be prevented, but the
WI ter would be retained by the soil
and the plant would obtained it
through the capillary action of the
water, and the soil, for Lime not only
assists the soil in conducting water
down into it but also in retaining it.
In the case of clay soils Lime binds
together some of the fine particles OF
sand; and in this way diminishes the
number of small spaces opening at the
surface of the soil, and hence lessons
the amount of water that will be car
ried off by the evaporation. In the
case of sandy soil the Lime is washed
down into the soil and several inches
beneath the surface forms a partial
crust through which the water from
the surface can readily pass but from
beneath which it cannot 50 easily re-
turn and penetrate the surface mulch
of loose sand.

Echo from the late election-Well, any

Mr.. Geo. w. Stocksdale, whose severe
illness has deprived him of his usual &C
tive business life and habits for the past
month, is gradually improving in health,
and hopes, as do many friends with him,
for an early, full recovery.
Directly after ascending to his bedroom
Friday evening to retire for the night,
Mr.. Jacob Freeze, from some unaccount-
able cause. fell down full flight of stairs
to room below, injuring himself severe
ly about the head, face, shoulders and hips.
The havoc wrought by the fierce noun
tain fire of fortnight ago, when Big Pr

miles square, most certainly is very great
and is very deeply to be regretted. A

side from the destruction of a vast guam
tity of timber, old and young, posts and
rails and cord wood were reduced to ashes.
Lloyd M. Freeze is greatly put out with
the game law. He thinks that it should
be amended so as to stop men from shoot
ing them all, so some will be left for the

Mrs. Jas. A. Mcguigan has been suffer-

nature, and which made it's appearance
on one of her hands fortnight ago.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
(FRoM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT,

(FRoM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. }
WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 18th
There is considerable speculation a
mong Members and Senators many OF
whom have already arrived in Wash
ington with reference to the standing
of the great state of New York in the
Senate. Many states having not half
the population and some of them not
a fourth of the population of New York
are much stronger in the Senate cham
Der than the Empire State and few if
any states arc so lamely represented
as is New York. Senator Plat is old .,
dccrepit and bowed down with many
humiliations, the last of which with
its tributary or radiating scandals is
enough to make any man retire from
the Senate or even from the world.
He has long since been without influ-
ence in the State having been super
seeded first by Ex-Governor Odcll and
later after he and Odell had formed
an alliance, by President Roosevelt.
There are still many people in office in
Washington who were appointed by
Platt in the day Of his power but his
influence and that of his colleague
Depew is now so significant that it is
difficult to understand how either of
them can have the effrontery to keep
the places that would be SO much more
creditabiy filled by younger, cleaner
and more effective men.
The Bankers Association which has
been in convention here has after
four days of hard work completed the
outlines of plan for the much needed
reform in the national currency sys-
tenn, which will be presented to Con-
gress at the session, The objection
found to the present system is the lack
of elasticity, the volume of bank notes
being incapable of expansion in times
of need, such as in crop moving
periods thereby causing stringencies,
and incapable of contraction when
uses of money are less extensive,
causing redundancy. A change in
the National Banking act is suggested
SO that National Banks will be per-
mitted under proper safeguards to is
sue credit bank notes which would
automatically adjust the volume to
the demands for currency. The AS
ISOLATION believes that their plan will
insure safety to the note holder, an
ample supply of currency to the public
relief from so-called stringencies and
the certain retirement of notes when
they have fulfilled their purpose in
the hands of the public. Every ses-
sion of Congress of late has seen de-
mand from all quarters for currency
reform and it is believed that the sub
ject will be taken up in earnest and
brought to some conclusion before
