Trade at Home.

THE ADVOCATE presents to its readers
in this issue review of many Of the en-
terprises in the wholesale and retail lines
that have created for Westminster pro-
nounced popularity as trade center, and
which constantly maintain buying facilities
and advantages Independent of, because
equal to, the large cities Of the country.
The object of giving the widest possible
publicity to our trade advantages is to
direct attention to the enterprise of our
merchants and business men who have
labored hard and earnestly to secure the
excellent conditions that arise from large
and complete stock equipments in all lines
of merchandising, and which are found
today in Westminster. The ADVOCATE
gives its hearty support and cooperation
to such favorable publicity, not only of
Westminster's trade advantages, but also
of Carroll county's present standing and
continued progress along all lines. For
it is to be remembered, that publicity of
our advantages begets inquiry and appre-
citation which are invariably followed by
activities that secure to the community at
large greater results. The Westminster
edition of this week will be followed in the
near future by write up of Carroll county
and its towns, and the same generous CO.
operation which characterizes this issue is
already assured.

Itissaid, Familiarity begets contempt"
Whether this is SO or not, it is certainly SO
that familiarity begets carelessness, and
this should be carefully guarded against
by every man who has the lives Of other
people in his charge.
The man in the railroad engine or in the
signal station, who through carelessness
causes the death of passenger, is guilty
of murder.
We believe there is no part Of the pub
lie service in which there is higher order
of ability, than in the management OF our
great railroad corporations. But the men
with whom the public are mostly concerned,
are the men who start the trains, who
signal the trains and who run the trains,
and the men who open and shut the
switches.
The men in the management deal mostly
with dollars and cents, while the men in
the engines and signal stations and at the
switches, deal with human lives. These
are the men the public want to see sober
reliable and capable and well paid.

The Late General Baughman.

General Louis Victor Baug Imam died at
his home, "Poplar Terrace near Freder-
lex, on Friday last, at 40 a. m. in the
63d year of his age.
He was the son of John W. Baughman,
who for many years conducted that sterling
Democratic paper, "The Frederick Citi-
zen'' which since the death of the elder
Baughman, has been carried on by his sons.
General Baughman was one Of the most
widely known and highly esteemed citizens
of Maryland, and was always prominent in
the counsels and campaigns Of the Demo-
cratic party of the State. He was nat
ural born leader, and having ample means
and much time at his command, and hav-
ing liking for public life, was most ef-
fective factor in the politics of the State.
He was at the very head of his party in
Frederick county, and perhaps had more
warm and devoted political friends there,
than any man who ever lived in the county.
And under the most discouraging circum-
stances, be has, by his untiring energy
and tact, led the Democratic host to victo-
ry, in that naturally Republican county.
When very young man he went South
and entered the Confederate Army, re-
turned after the war, and for the time de-
voted himself to the conduct of the "Citi-
zen." He subsequently married a daugh-
ter of the late A. S. Abel. He is sur
vived by his widow and one son, Col. E.
Austin Baughman, and one daughter, the
wife of DIR. G. H. Conley.
He has held several public positions
from his party. He was Comptroller of
the Treasury for two terms, and was also
President of the Chesapeake & Ohio Ca
nal Company, and one of the State Direc-
tors in the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Co.
His chief ambition, however, was to be

health declined, announced himself a can
didate for that high Office. 1t is believed,
if his health had remained firm he would
have been the nominee of the party in
1907. And if so, he would have made
the campaign lively one from start to
finish, and if elected he would have given
the State clean Democratic Administra
ton, conducted for the good of the whole
people, but upon straight Democratic lines.
His death is deeply deplored by wide
circle of personal and political friends.
His funeral took place from his home
on Monday last and was one of the largest
ever known in that city. The funeral
services were held in St. Johns Catholic
Church, of which he was member.
DR.. J. W. Herring, of this city, was
among the honorary pallbearers.
B. F. Grouse, ESQ.,, and 7. Herbert
Shriver, ESQ.,, also attended the funeral.

The Presidents Message.

The President sent his annual message
to Congress ON Tuesday last. 1t is a
voluminous document, and treats upon a
great variety of subjects. 1t is written in
the vigorous style of Mr.. Roosevelt, and
is bold, aggressive and radical. Many Of
its recommendations will lead to much dis
cussion in Congress. We will refer to
some of the subjects of the message, in
these columns, at later date.

Pays to Breed Good Cattle.

The following from the Pacific Rural

will apply on the ranges of Colorado
as well as on the farms OF the Pacific
coast. A large number of the progress
sive stockmen OF this state are infus-
ing better blood into their herds and
thereby getting much better results for
their labor and Investment. but there
are still some who persist in using the
inferior breeding stock. The Rural
Spirit says:
THE Introduction of choice blood of
any standard beef brand into the cat
tie of any section means economy Of
feed and far better results in weight
and quality of the beef productions of
that section when ready for market. II
is process that permits marketing
prime beef cattle year. or even two
years earlier than the old-fashioned
methods. 1t is money-making busi-
ness proposition that no set of pro
gressive farmers should fail to take ad-
vantage of at once. Every year that
the use of inferior or ordinary breed
ing stock Is continued is time. feed and
money lost. The increased demand
for high bred stock will come and with
1t prices must advance. The fortunate
man will be he who clears his farm of
inferior stock and establishes himself
with n herd of good blood at the fav-
orable prices now prevailing.

Greeley Starch Factory.

Five million pounds of potatoes have
been made into starch during the last
two months by the Colorado Starch
factory and the factory owned by the
Greeley Ice & Light Company here.
says the Greeley correspondent of the
Denver Republican. Two hundred tons
were made by the Colorado factory and
100 tons by the ether which began
grinding potatoes less than six weeks
ago.
Over $50 tons of starch has been
shipped to Eastern cloth and print
mills, to be used in sizing cloth.
The starch is made from Gull pota-
toes, heretofore merely waste product.
Greeley potatoes run fourteen per cent.
starch under normal conditions. The
freezing weather in October cut down
the per cent. considerably Better re
suits will come from the dugout pota
toes, which were stored before the
freezing weather and which will soon
be sorted, the inferior stock going TO
the starch factory.
Two shifts are working and will con
tinue operations until June 1st. The
Greeley Ice & Light factory will build
large warehouse during the summer
in which to store the starch, to hold
the product for good market prices.
The experiment of fattening 1000
sheep on potato pulp and alfalfa is be-
ing tried by the Colorado company
with excellent results.
The sheep were placed in the pens
December 1st and will be ready for
market by February 1st. The potato
pulp is pumped into the feed pens
directly from the factory and is
warmed by passing over a steam pipe.
The sheep relish it and require no wa
ter with it. Some declare the potato
pulp is preferable to beet pulp as a
fattening food and predict that twenty
per cent. more sheep will be fed here
next winter.

The verdict is that Gerretie Hast

cluding. the 27th and Both days of De-
cember, 1905, from a gunshot wound
in the head. caused by bullet fired
from n 3S-calibre revolver, and says

volver was held and discharged by

Wyk. his wife. and in pursuance Of
fixed and agreed plan deliberately and
feloniously entered into between the
said Garrit J. Van Wyk and Wouthetje
Van Wyk. his wife. to murder the said
Gerretje Hast, and further finds that
said killing was not accidental, nor sui
cidal. but was intentional and feloni-
ously committed.
Mrs. Van Wyk will Immediately be
placed under arrest and with her hus-
band arraigned for preliminary hear
ing Monday morning.

was also a large quantity of blood
upon the wagon, making II appear as;
il, after being struck he had leaned
against the wagon, which was par
TALLY loaded. He must have then un-
hitched the team and gone to the
house.
During the absence OF his wife in
California Mr.. Coffin has been spend

It is supposed that some one had taken
this opportunity to rob him. He was
known to have had considerable
money on his person and none of 1t
could be found. either in the house or
on his clothing.
The nature of his injuries are such
that an accident is out OF the ques-
ton. His skull Is fractured in two
places. as If struck .rom behind with
some blunt instrument. and his jaw
is supposed to be fractured on the
right side. There is a bad bruise ON
the LEFT cheek.
He is now in the LongmoDt hospi-
tai in an unconscious condition and
recovery seems impossible.
Mr.. Coffin is brother of II. F. and
Morse Coffin. and is well known 10 the
old timers all over Colorado. He has
served as mayor of Longmont ana has
been identified with all its public i'm
provements. His daughter. Mrs. Ger
