Roosevelt is bound to keep him
self before the people in some way
and cannot allow Bryan to lead the
procession or attract attention for
any great length of time from his
own strenuous self. Hence his
proclamation on the new style, or
rather old style of spelling just at
the time Bryan was heading this
way and all eyes were focused on
his reception. You cant lose
Teddy nor keep his light under a
bushel measure.

The reception accorded Mr.. Bryan
on his homecoming, in New York,

The South regretted to see Bryan,
on his arrival home, advocating
public ownership of railways,
thinking that it would interfere with
the jim-crow laws. 1t would not;
the law would be passed by the
Democratic party, and would most
certainly provide that each State
should have the right to regulate the
passenger service within itself.

President Roosevelt has the big.
gest job on his hands that he has
taken yet. He has adopted the
phonetic spelling system and issued
orders that all the government re-
cords and documents, messages and
etc shall be printed in accordance
with the new method, of spelling
words according to the sound. His
order has caused CONSERVATION in
all the Offices and branches of the
government and the newspapers are
having lots of fun out of it. Even
the Republican papers are treating
the matter as joke and it is not
considered that the new reform will
ever become established or take a
permanent hold on the people.

Flour rlill Burned.

The large three story flour mill
of Pennock & Brosius, at Avon
dale, was destroyed by fire which
broke out at about two O'Clock
Saturday morning last. Several
hundred barrels of -four in small
bags, a large quantity of Western
-four which had just been received,
forty tons of bran and 1000 bushels
of wheat were consumed.
The large warehouse, which was
located few feet from the mill,
and in which were stored several
hundred barrels of flour ready for
shipment, was saved. The books
and papers of the firm, which were
in large safe in the mill, passed
through the fire safely. The mill
was in operation at the time of the
outbreak of the fire, which is sup
posed to have been caused by an
electric wire. The loss is about
partly covered by insur-
ance. The mill will be rebuilt as
speedily as possible and business

Assaulted BY Negro.

Word was received in Rising Sun
last Tuesday evening that 13 year
old Ellie West had been assaulted
by an unknown negro at Gr1est's
Fording. The little girl is a
granddaughter of Marshall West,
who lives on the Elizabeth Brin-
ton place, near Oak Hill, and was
on her way to the home of Martha
jenkins. AS she approached the
bridge at Griest's Fording a burly
negro stepped out of the bushes and
seized her. Montillion Brown, of
Wakefield, was crossing the bridge
sometime after and hearing groans
found the child lying near the
roadside. He brought her to Fred
Hart's, whose wife is related to the
child and she was afterward taken
back to her home. Several persons
in this neighborhood have an
nounced their willingness to con-
tribute $5 90 each for the appre-
hension OF the fend, who is still at
large.

COMMITS SUICIDE
E1kton Boat Builder browns Him
self Early Tuesday. Morning.
BELIEVED TEMPORARILY INSANE

Henry Deibert, head of the Del
bert Boat Yards, and one of Elk
toms most prominent citizens, com
mitted suicide Tuesday morning by
drowning himself in the Elk river.
Mr.. Deibert left his home in his
night clothing at about two O'Clock
in the morning, but nothing was
thought of the occurrence at the
time by his wife. Not returning,
however, Mrs. Deibert became
alarmed and aroused the household,
search being instituted, but without
avail. The river was dragged in
the afternoon and the body found
shortly before six o'clock in the
evening, near the wharf at the
upper boat yard. Coroner Nelson
was notified and held an inquest.
Easily worried, it is believed the
fact that his youngest son, Arthur
G. Deibert, contemplated leaving
his home and locating at Birming
ham, Ala, preyed upon Mr.. Del.
bert's mind. and becoming tempo
rarily insane, he took his life.
Mr.. Deibert was 20 years old and
native of Pennsylvania, having
been born at Schuylkill Haven.
Mr.. Deibert and his sons have been
identified with Elkton's business
interests, which they have done
much to foster, for the past 15
years. He is survived by widow
and large family of grown
children. Elmore Deibert, Mayor
of Elkton, is a son of the deceased.

THE TOME MANSION.
Trustees OF Tome Institute Refuse
To Take Property.


A petition was fled in the Cir
cult Court for Cecil county, last
week, by Messrs. P. E. Tome, OF
Baltimore, and L. Marshall Haines,
Elkton, solicitors for the Board OF
Trustees of the Jacob Tome Insti,
tute, Port Deposit, in the suit of
Mrs. Evelyn s. France VS.. The
Jacob Tome Institute, praying that
that body assume jurisdiction over
the property in dispute-The Tome
Mansion House in Port Deposit
that someone be appointed as re-
ceiver or caretaker to take charge
of said property pending said liti.
cation with authority to enter into
possession of and exercise care over
same.
AT the death of the late Jacob
Tome he bequeathed his Port De-
posit mansion house property to his
widow, stipulating that she could
sell the same to the trustees of the
Jacob Tome Institute any time
within ten years from his death,
and the said trustees to pay her
800, 900 for it.
Some months ago Mrs. France,
formerly Mrs. Tome, offered deed
for the property to the Trustees of
the Jacob Tome Institute, and de-
manded the payment of 100000.
The trustees later expressed will
ingness to take the said Mansion
House property and pay the
amount for it stipulated in the will,
but not until Mrs. France conveyed
it free from all membranes and in
good repair. 1t is claimed that
part of the property is leased to the
Cecil National Bank, and the trus.
tees could not get possession of it
until its lease expires. Because the
said trustees could not get posses
sion of property at the time Mrs.
France offered them the deed they
refused to accept it.
Some time ago Mrs. France re.
moved from the Mansion House,
and it has since been vacant. Mrs.
France brought suit to compel the
trustees to accept the property and
pay her the amount for it as stip-
ulated in Mr.. Tones will.
The petition of the solicitors cites
that the property is out of repair
and Is in great danger from fire on
account of being vacant. For those
reasons it asks that caretaker of
the property be appointed by the
Court.
John P. Poe, of Baltimore, as So
licitor for Mrs. France, has filed a
petition praying that the testimony
in this case shall be taken orally in
open court, and the Court has
passed an order as prayed by Mr..
Poe, and that said testimony be
taken on July 10th.

grounds between Rising Sun and
Elk Mills had an exciting finish,
in which the home team batted out
a victory and brought joy to the
hearts of the rooters. The teams
were evenly matched, the locals
