Cows On A Spree.

After partaking of a quantity of
pomance, the residum of cider,
which had been carelessly dumped
in a pasture, herd of cows belong
ing to Mrs. Lavina Schauck, of
Williams Corner, near Phoenix
vile, became gloriously drunk,
and did considerable damage.
Several barrels of cider were
made at the Schauck farm Wednes-
day, and the fermenting pomance
was thrown in the field. 1t was
good to the animals taste and they
ate freely of it, so that in the after
noon dozen of the cows became
crazy drunk. They broke down
fences and did considerable other
damage, and several of them be-
came so sick getting over their
'.jag" that veterinary surgeon
was sent for. Two of the herd died
of indigestion. n.-Quarryville Sun.

ACCIDENTALLY SHOT.
H. Linn WortIlington Severely
Wounded While DuCking On
Susuuetanna Flats,

Ell. Linn Worthington, of this
town, was severely wounded by
the accidental discharge of a gun
while ducking on the Susquehanna
flats last Wednesday morning.
Mr.. Worthington in company with
Jos. Clifford and a Baltimore friend
was in the act of taking gun from
the sloop and placing it in a small
er boat and caught it by the barrel
to draw it towards him, when the
trigger struck on the side of the
boat and the gun was discharged.
The entire load entered his right
hip and lodged there and while
making a very severe flesh wound
it is not thought serious results
will follow, as the bone is but
slightly injured and none of the
shot came in contact with the in
ternal organs. He was Immediate
ly placed on a naptha launch,
which luckily was nearby, and
taken to Havre de Grace where
DR.. Crothers dressed the wound.
Mr.. Worthington was then placed
on a cot and brought home on the
4:45 train and has since been rest
ing as comfortably as could be eX-
pected under the circumstances.

SHOOTING Accident.

Mrs. Joseph Heating was acci-
dentally shot by her husband at
her home near Kennett, Monday
afternoon. Mr.. Heating had just
returned to the house from a gun
ming trip and was in the act OF
lowering the hammers of his gun,
when it was discharged, the load
going through a partition and
striking Mrs. KeatiDg, who was in
an adjoining room, in the side and
hand, making a painful but not
serious wound. The plaster broke
the force of the charge, otherwise
the accident would probably have
proven fatal.

PEACE DISTURBERS FINED.
A Bunch OF Election Night ReVel-

The town authorities have sworn
out number of warrants for par
ties VINO disturbed the peace and
made themselves generally ohjec.
tionable in the borough on election
night, as the result of too much
license campaign booze, which, it
is asserted, was dispensed by the
managers of the liquor campaign in
a liberal manner on election day,
but, as the vote shows, without
helping their cause, the reverse
being the case.
On Wednesday Leslie Brumfiald.
and Paul Brumfield, of Colora, and
John Sellers, of near town, were
brought before Magistrate Taylor
who fined them So and costs each.
On Thursday morning six more
of the peace disturbers were taken
before the Magistrate f: William
Davis and John Hindman, of Co
lora, Sherman Clayton, Ernest Pat
ton, Henry Brinton and Edward
Jews, colored. They were each
fined s. and costs, with the excep-
tion of Jews, whose fine was one
dollar and costs for swearing.
Charles Woodrow, of Colora,
was also run in and fined later in
the day, being another member of
the crowd that held a carnival on
election night.
The town authorities have the
hearty support of our citizens in
their efforts to preserve order in our
borough. They are determined
that that element which refuses to
recognize the right of our law
abiding citizens to enjoy that peace
and quietness to which they are
entitled, shall be compelled to re-
spect the law, or abide by the
consequences.

Agricultural High School Opens


The Agricultural High School
opened at Calvert on Monday, with
Prof. 81. o. Sampson, of the United
States Department of Agriculture
in charge. The course of study re
quires four years to complete.
Thirty five pupils were enrolled
the first day.
This is the first Agricultural
High School to be established in
Maryland, the needs of the farmer
boy and girl having at last been
recognized. Wisconsin has three
successful county agricultural high
schools. New York requires agri-
culture taught in the State normal
schools. Missouri also requires
agriculture to be taught in the
public schools. Georgia appropri
ates $4,000 annually for each Con-
gressional district for the teaching
of agriculture in the common
schools.

REcLAIMING ARID LAND.
Is Dry Farming the Solution of Press
ing Problems?

(From John L. Cowan's DRY Farm
ing-the Hope of the West" in the July
Century,
Contrary to commonly accepted
ideas as the statement may be. 1t is.
nevestheless. an amply demonstrated
fact that wherever in this great arid
empire the annual rainfall averages as
high as twelve inches, as good crops
can be raised without irrigation as
with it, This means that almost every
acre of the great plains between the
Missouri river and the Rocky noun
tains. and most of the inter-mountain
parks and plateaus between the Rock
les and the Pacific, will produce as
abundantly as will the rich prairie
lands of Iowa. Missouri and Illinois,
and much more abundantiy than the
richest of the lands in any of the older
states along the Atlantic seaooard'
that there is enough land now utilized.
II at all, only for grazing to make pos
sible the trebling or quadrupling OF the
present farming population OF the
United States; that outside of compar-
atively small areas in western Texas
and In portions of Utah, Nevada. Ari-
zona, Idaho, Wyoming, South Dakota
and southern California. there is little
arabic land in the great West that may
not be divided into forty-acre farms,
each one of which will be capable of
supporting an average-siZed family.
Probably there is no exaggeraton IN
the statement made by one writer that
the region between the foothills or the
Rocky mountains, bounded on the
south by the Rio Grande and on the
north by the Canadian border, is capa-
BILE of producing fruits. cereals, vege-
tables and live stock sufficient for the
support of the entire present popula-
tion of the globe. This vast area or
fertile, and as yet almost unutiliZed
land, is the foundation upon which the
American people must build for the
| continuance of their prosperity for at
| least a century to come. Properly util-
| lied It may solve many perplexlng
problems. 1t will relieve the conges-
| ton of the cities. provide an outlet FOR
superabunSant capital. and afford OPP
portunities for the enterprising ana
discontented for decades. 1t contains
| the richest mineral deposits. the great
| est forest resources. the most fertile
soil, and the most genial and
salubrious climate on this cont
nent. What its development and
exploitation would mean to the
transportation, manufacturing, mer-
camille, financial md labor inter
ests of the nation cannot be even
dimly foreshadowed. 1t would furnish
stimulus that would be felt not
merely in the great centers OF popuia-
ton and industry, but in the reInotest
hamlet and on the most isolated farm
in the Republic.

DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Hards.-Re-
ceipts of cattle on this market were
again heavy last week. about $4,000
head arriving. A good many were
southerns but there was liberal
sprinkling of natives and offerings
were much larger than they have been
here for some time. Demand was
strong for the desirable beef stuff but
towards the end of the week packers
were pretty well loaded up and were
hard to interest in the medium and
common kinds. Good beef steers and
cows closed fully steady to strong but
all others were weak and grassy cows
are off fully a quarter from the preced-
ing week. Choice steers sold up to
SIS, same as preceding week, and most
of the good kinds went at $4.45@49O.
Several cars of choice baby beef were
here, mostly heifers weighing from 600
to 500 lbs. and sold at S445m4SO.
Cows were wanted If they were good,
but buyers are discriminating against
the grassy kinds and they are off fully
a quarter. Choice dry lot cows are
fully steady. Best cows brought 81
and prices ranged from this down to
SO on the better grades. Bulls and
NedlS ABOUT oHis
fair Feeder and stocker trade was
very quiet as supply was light and
demand also limited. Some choice 940-
lb. steers sold at $3.50. the high price,
but they were good and most OF the
sales ranged from this down TO SO.
Prices are called about steady with a
week ago. Eastern markets dull and
weak.
The hog demand is better than
week ago as supply has not been so
heavy this week. Prices are up 151
zoe and tops are now selling at s6.52k
@6.55.
Sheep demand continues strong as
ever but very few coming. Prices are
about the same as week ago. East
ern markets went up early in the
week and prices reached the high
point of the season but later big run
brought a slump and market is not
much more than steady.

Boston at the very date when the al
tered note was presented at the bank.
That since then he had been convert
ed under the auspices of the Salvation
,, Army, and had seen in a newspaper
the advertisement inserted by the
plaintiffs counsel for information re-
garding the suit, and he had answered
1t in person.
When he left the witness-stand and
the case closed for the plaintiff. there
were many among the audience, and
among the jurymen, too, ii their faces
did not belle their minds. who were
more than half persuaded of the
claims of the plaintiff.
Next day Mr.. Ferguson spoke for
upwards of an hour in an easy, grace
full manner natural to him. and his
outline of the case held the enrapt at
tention of every person in the court
room that morning. There was little
of labored argument. but starting
with the supposition that his client
was suffering a fraudulent attempt at
election from his own premises, he
proceeded to put the matter before the
jurymen in this light. He said in sub
stance something like the following:
My client, who is none other than
the true Vane Hamilton-as you can
see for yourself. his looks fully corrob-
Grating my stateme ent-returns after
an absence of many months to his
home. He has been in the habit Of
taking his yearly cuttings in May, as
he is inclined to bilious difficulties and
is not so well able to pursue his busi-
ness in the spring as in the summer,
Far from making any mystery OF the
matter he has invariably told his wife
that he went away for his health. On
one or two occasions he had other
business of a special nature connected
with the mill which it was believed
best to keep secret for time.
You all know how that is. and that
ladies' are sometimes apt to mention
such matters in their condolences with
other women. so that they leak out,
often to the serious detriment of their
husbands business. Knowing this,
Mr.. Hamilton did not always explain
