conspiracy began about three months
prior TO March 20, 1904. ON which date
the petition in bankruptcy was filed
against the American Wire & Steel Bed
Company. The President Of this con-
0m was Simon L. Simpson. On March
2s. 1904. petition was filed against
Richard Cohen, who was in the furni'
ture business. Cohen is brother-in-
law Of Simpson.

Sheep and DOGS.
land New

To the editor of THE REPUBLICAN
l have read with much interest and
pleasure the letters which have appear
ed from time to time in your valuable
paper in regard to sheep and dogs. | at
one time kept a flock of sheep which
was the most profitable stock that | ever
kept. The dogs, however, got among
them time after time, at one time killing
nine and gripping many others which
never amounted to much thereafter
So l was forced to abandon sheep rails
ing in order to allow people to keep
dogs. Why we should be taxed so high
for sheep and a lot Of dogs go untaXed
running at large, [ never could under
stand. Any one keeping a dog could
not reasonably object to paying tax on
it. In Pennsylvania the dog tax goes
to pay for the sheep that are killed
by dogs. Beside this, the owner Of the
dog or dogs which kill sheep is held re-
sponsible and must pay the damages
to sheep caused by his dogs. Why not
give us such a law. | shall now go into
the sheep business again, because l am
sure that my friend and Senator W.
McCulloh Brown will do all in his power
to pass law to afford the farmers
some protection against worthless dogs,
and also give man protection for dog
that is worth keeping. No man would
likely pay taxes on worthlnss dog
Yours truly,

Although the directors of this bank
postponed its election of officers until
some later day, this does not indicate
that change will be made in the off

Thayer, N. U. Bond, M. N. Wilson, E.
E. Sollars, W. A. Smith, R. A. Ravens

c. E. Hilleary and E. H. Sincell, was
elected and the board in turn reelected
the officers who have been serving for
the past three years or more.
At the First National Of Friendsville
one member to the board was added, he
being Mr.. Horace r. Dewitt, the Treas
urer-elect of Garrett county, the other
members being Messrs. L. z. Friend.
j. w. McCulloh, w. w. Savage, D. S.
Custer, H. M. Rumbaugh, DR.. T. ].
Jacobs, j. H. Cuppet, c. w. Friend, w.

ton of one Of the largest deals ever
transacted in Randolph county, says the

Bemis & Son of Bradford, Pa, their tim
Der holdings in this county consisting of
5000 acres, the large sawmills at Fish

general stores at those places. The con-
sideration is nearly if not quite $3.50, 600.
The Rumbarger company has been en-
gagged in the lumber business in this
county and central West Virginia for a
number of years, employing hundreds
of men, and by their energy and push
aiding greatly in the development of the

STATE House, ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 10,
1906. General Assembly was been
in session now for week, (only two
days, however, having been passed at
the Estate House, and the committees
are still locked up in the breasts of the
two presiding officers, and whoever
Of the bosses may be in their conf
dence. AS a consequence of this delay
no work of any moment has been done
and the probability is that none will be
done before the last of the month. The
old machine is determined to run things
in the old way, and the lectures deliver
ed by Governor Warfield and the Balti-
more press have apparently had no eff
feet whatever. Reform may be the
watchword, but it will only be word,
there will be no reform Of any charac-
ter whatever. The pay rolls will be
padded as usual, and the lobby is here
ready to profit by selling legislation in
the old time dishonored way. The peo-
pie do not want reform, so the acts of
a majority of their representatives say,
and reformers, if there are any real
ones here, will be at a decided discount
before third of the session has passed
away. The Governor has had his say,
and he asserts that he will say no more
