% FAMILIES ARE
RAPIDLY PASSING AWAY
Alexander Shultz Dies in Hutchinson.
Kansas.
PROMINENT IN GARRETT COUNTY
Many Years AgO-One OF Family of
Eighteen Children-BrOther Was
Sheriff OF Allegany County
Hanged rIiIIer.

Alexander Shultz, deceased at his
home on the 25th of November, 1905, at
Hutchinson, Kansas, at the age of II
years. He was one of the Is children
of Adam Shultz, who died in Grants
vile, Garrett county, in 1864, aged 70
years. This very numerous and promi-
nent family left that neighborhood
about the close Of the civil war for the
West, with the exception of the first
born of the family, Eliza Roger, and
strange to say she remains near her
first home on the top of Keyser's Ridge,
Garrett county, considerably up in her
nineties.
Alexander Shultz, left surviving his
wife, Elenora Glotfelty Shultz, an es-
teemed daughter of Joseph Glotfelty, a
prominent man in his day at Grants
vile. That we'll known family has in
like manner almost entirely faded away
from the old theatre of life, only one
remaining, the much liked Martha A.
Swauger, wife of w. H. Swauger, near
Grantsvllle. The subject of this little
tribute left a considerable family of
children, all grown and living in the
west, most of them born there.
He also left surviving number of
brothers and sisters, among the broth
ers are John A. J. Shultz, at the head
of the great Shultz Betting Co., at st.
Louis, of which he was the founder
many years ago; CLANCY F. Shultz, an
aged retired business man of the same
place of much prominence. He is now
the family senior, 81 years of age and
pther brother, Mesac, age IS, a prom
mt business man in Shipman, Ill.,
Perry ShultZ, another brother, was
sheriff of Allegany county, 1885. He
otficiated at the execution Of Miller, the
murderer of Hadel in 1855. He died in
st. Louis in 1868. The ShultZ name
where it was once so we'll and favorablv
known is now about extinct and forgot
ten.
Alex Shultz, as he was familiarlv
called was much liked by all who knew
him. He was honest, Industrious, ener-
getic and straight forward in all his
dealings. Socially, he was friendly,
open: hearted, kind and obliging. To
know him meant friendship for the man.
His death will be regretted and lament
ed not only at home but far away.

VIII Boom That Section.

The prospect of big boom around
Ear, in this county, is good and the peo-
pie down there are feeling good over
the developments promised in the near
future.
Charles A. Louchs, a prominent and
wealthy coal operator of Scottdale, Pa,
has purchased block of 10, 900 acres Of
coal in and around Ear. The coal joins
the coal lands of Senator Elkins and
has Ear for the central point. The coal
was all bought for $40 an acre. One
farm was purchasee outright, coal, sur
face, and all the old Jake Deal place of
105 acres about a mile from Zar-and
the price paid was 81, 500 cash. The
best place for the drift openings are
found on this farm, and here is where
they will establish the coal plant.
Mr.. Loucks purposes building eight
miles of railroad to connect with the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad at Selbys-
port, Md, and estimates that it can be
done for $25, 00O per mile, as there are
natural water courses all the way. 1t
is expected that work on this railroad
will begin in the spring just as soon as
the weather will permit, and the road
pushed to completion as rapidly as pos
sible
In the meantime the coal develop
ment will be under way and with the
money paid out for the coal, building
the railroad, opening the mines ana
equipment of the same, something iil,-
half a million dollars, will be eXpendel
mostly in that section. This will make
business good for years to come
throughout that section
James E. Keenan, and Kay Portser
attorneys from Greensburg, Pa, have
been here the past week or ten days
making abstracts of titles to the lands
sold. They have been assisted by J. J.
Kelley, postmaster and merchant at
Ear, who is the field agent for the COM
pany or Mr.. Loucks, secretary for
big Pennsylvania coal company. 1t is
probable new company will organize

cult Court convened with Associate

Chief Judge Boyd expected to be pres
ent in Court Tuesday morning but he
was,summoned to Hagerstown Monday
evening by message requiring his
presence there to relieve Judge Keedy
who had been taken i'll while presiding
in the Washington county court.
Mr. Jacob S. Miller, of Grantsville
District, was appointed. foreman of the
grand jury and the following were
drawn to serve as his associates: John
NJ. Lowdermilk, William H. Kitzmiller,
Thomas Burke, Edwin A. Weimer,
Philip T. Bowman Lewis c. Bray,
Jasper Guard, Homer D. Custer, Melvy
&. Friend, Gustav Garinger, Archibald

Deiterick, James O. Cleveland, James
Garrett, Ezra Wolfe, John w. Nc
Cullough, August c. George, Jonas ].
Folk, Henry J. Barnard, Hopwood Kill
dow and Hanson B. Lewis.
Upon completion of the formation of
the grand jury Judge Henderson de-
livered the usual charge to the body,
calling their attention to the statutes
as required by law and outlining the
manner in which the business of the
grand jury was to be conducted. He
suggested that it would not be neces-
sary for the grand jury to condemn the
present court house or make any sug-
gestions looking to its repair in view of
the face that the voters decided in No
vember that new building was to be
erected.
The civil trial docket was taken up
and numerous cases disposed of on
Monday, none of them being tried be-
fore a jury, the Court acting as such.
Tuesday morning the petit jurors
were all dismissed until Monday of next
week, when the criminal docket will be
called.
The grand jury has examined many
witnesses covering almost all degrees
of statutory infractions of the law and
has found quite number of indict-
mentS.
The case of DR.. Copeland, of Kitz-
milleville, against the County Commits
sloners, which was tried and concluded
yesterday, was the only really impor-
tant case before the court up to this
time. The action was based upon bill
for professional services rendered by
Dr. Copeland to three smallpox patients
at Kitzmillerville during the spring OF
1904. The testimony went to show that
DR.. Copeland had been instructed by
the local health officer to attend the
sufferers, which he did, and rendered
his bill to the Commissioners who re
fused payment, hence the action. The
. Court rendered verdict in favor of the
plaintiff for the full amount claimed.
SlO2. Mr. Peddicord for DR.. Copeland
and Mr.. Renninger represented the
Commissioners.
At the time this paper is put on press
the case of Frush against the Garrett
Lumber Company is being tried before
the Court and will probably consume
the balance of the day

A Case Of PponOuns

Tommy Mulligan OF the Seventh
grade was absent from the class
room for one entire day. Tt would
appear That he had played truanr,
for unknown to Tommy his teacher
had spied him trudging homeward
with pockets bullying suspiciously
when she too was nomcward bound
that afternoon
But Tommy brought note OF
excuse the next morning which of
course WOULD prove that he had been
detained at home ultimately. The
writing was hardly that OF a feminine
hand, and the note appeared TO have
been written laborously and with
much plotting; furthermore, h e

The Latest Alarm Of Science.

College professors keep right on
discovering new haurts for baccili.
One of them has come out against
the use of linen handkerchiefs. He
says the linen handkerchief is a
menace to public health; that it
contains billions of microbes and
that these microbes are malevolent.
He suggests The carrying about Of
bunch of paper handkerchiefs, each
one to be thrown away as soon as
used. He condemns ruthlessly one
of the dantiest accessories of the
feminine toilet, one of the most USE
full adjuncts of the male attire.
The world has been warned that
the deadly microbe hides in money
and kisses. and the warning has
failed in putting either commodity
out of circulation. In due time,
other scientists, less academic than
their brothers, have arisen to state
that the microbes that Turk IL kisses
are entirely friendly as a rule, and
those haunting paper money are far
from being deadly in their intent
and action.
| 1t is not unreasonable to suppose
that the medical scient st who warns
the public against the use of linen
handkerchiefs will be contradicted
by another. equally celebrated The
CONNECTION of almost transparent
linen and filmy lace that can be
drawn through the eye of a bodkin
is dear to the heart and the eye OF
woman. There are those who cher
lsh and exhibit on dress occasion,
| handkerchiefs of softest linen and
real lace, formed by practiced hands
for their great grandmothers and,
according to the doctors theory, the
home of many thousands of genera
tions OF bacciii. They are fearless
however, and the eminent doctor to
the contrary, feels that it is good to
be in possession of such dainty
trif1es.
The linen handkerchief will sur
vive the onslaught of science and be
indicated with the kisses and paper
