A HoIdup In Havre de Grace.

A few nights ago, a resident OF
Ontario street, on his way home,
stopped at a saloon to get two bot
ties of beer. He displayed several
notes in paying for the beverage.
Two colored men, saw the trans,
action, and when the man with the
beer reached the Ontario street
bridge he was accosted by the same
two negroes he had seen in the sa.
loon. One of the colored men asked
"What have you got in that pack.
age?" The query was met, "Come
here and 1 will show you." AS
one of the colored m IN approached
he was felled to the ground with
one of the bottles, and the resident,
quickly drawing his revolver,
pointed it at the other negro and
said; "This is for you'll" Here

To Farmers.

Thousands of bushels of wheat through.
out the country last season were harvested
by the quick process of cutting and bind
ing with the reaper and hauling into barns
before the straw was cured, consequently
much wheat was mow-burned from being
over heated by surplus of moisture and
the wheat damaged in color, taste and
texture, reducing its milling value from
two to ten cents, to say nothing of injury
to its terminating properties or loss in
weight.
The best method that we know of is to
have the wheat well shocked and well
capped, and allowed to stand until cured,
then, as soon as possible, hauled into the
barn in thoroughly dry condition. II
this plan is strictly adhered to, it will be
but short time until Lancaster, Chester
and Cecil counties will become Important
sources of supply for furnishing seed
wheat to neighboring counties and states
at prices in excess of those paid for the
regular milling trade, thereby netting the
producers better prices than can be OBJ
tanned by careless, slipshod methods.
The haying season is upon us. Cut the
grass before it gets too old. Keep the
tedder going soon as grass is cut and im-
mediately after rains, have it thoroughly
dry when you haul it in, that it may moi
sour or NOW burn. Some farmers last
year by these methods saved their whole
crop of 60 or 80 tons in good order,
while others, with less than half this
amount, had most of it either black Oh
sour. All had same kind of weather, but
it takes good management and persever.
ance to get good result.

Du Pont Elected Senator From
Delaware.

After one of the bitterest faction.
al fights in the political history OF
this country, J. Edward Addicks
has finally been defeated in his
attempt to gain seat in the United
States Senate from the little State
of Delaware, Col. Henry A. du
Pont, Of Wilmington, being elected
at the special session of the Legis.
lature on Tuesday.
1t is estimated that Addicks'
different senatorial campaigns, ex-
tending over period OF eleven
years, have cost him nearly
$500, 900, his whole political course
in Delaware having been marked
by bribery and corruption.
Colonel du Pont has been fight
ing Addicks and seeking seat in
the United States Senate since 1896.
Several times he could have been
elected had he been willing to ac-
cept Addicks as a colleague, but
compromise of this kind was always
rejected.
The sensational deadlocks began
when J. Edward Addicks entered
the field in 1895. In a stormy SEES
sion of the Legislature, which was
Republican, PIT ballots were taken
for Senator, Addicks holding enough
votes to block an election.
In 1897, the Democrats, who con-
trolled the Legislature, temporarily
solved the problem by sending
Richard r. Kenny, of Dover, to
the Senate. The Republicans were
again in control when Senator
Gray's term expired in 1899, but
became involved in another bitter
war over the Senatorship and
deadlock ensued. For two years
Kenny was the States only Senator.
Again in control in 1908 the
Union Republicans voted for Adj
dicks for the long term and Ad-
dicks for the short term. The
Regulars voted for different Re.
publlcanS. Inc Legislature ad'
iourned after 46 futile ballots had
been taken.
Finally by an agreement both
republican factions nominated men
and J. Frank Alice and DIR. L.
Heisler Ball were elected.
When Senator Balls term ex-
PRED. in 1905, there came renew
al of the battle. The Republicans
had the Legislature, but there was
a deadlock for 81 ballots and no
election.
In August of last year Alice,
Addicks's lieutenant, repudiated
his old chief, who, he declared,
could never be elected to the
Senate. A special session twas ag-
itated which eliminated this week
in the election of Col. du Pont.

employees lifted the gates and allowed hundreds
OF men, women and children TO make mad rush

OBJECTS TO HORIZONS.
Yonhers Mayor Says He Wants to
Protect Women.

Mayor John H. Coyne OF Yonkers, N. Y. has
refused to grant permission to two Mormon
elders to hold public meetings in the squares Of
the city and preach the tenets Of the Latter Day
Saints He also declined to allow them to sell
or distribute tracts written by Elder Ben Rich
explaining the doctrines Of the Mormon Church.
The Mayor held that to give the desired per-
mission would be to take a step which might
injure the city seriously. He said he felt that 1t
was his duty 10 protect the homes of the people
of the city and the fair name OF the women Of
Yonkers"
You come here" said the Mayor TO the elders
when they called on him, without any creden-
tials and apparently to make money by selling
pamphlets. I am liberal in matters OF religion,
and I would be the last to discriminate against
any religious body, but 1 object to the doctrine
of polygamy."
Yonkers is the first place in which permission
20 hold public meetings has been refused.
