"No News In The Paper. "

Frequently you pick up one of the To-
cal papers, and after glancing at the
headlines YEARLY thrust it aside, re-
marking, nothing in the paper today"
Did YOU ever stop to think what that
phrase nothing in the paper today
means. 1t means in the day or week
just passed that no misfortune has be-
fallen any one in our city; that no fire
has wiped out a neighbours worldly
goods; thai the grim angel of death has
crossed no threshold of friend, that no
man driven by liquor, hatred or fear
has taken the life of a fellow-human;
that no poor devil, haunted by the past
or the misdeeds of some other has cross
ed the great divide by his own hand. So
the next time you pick up paper that
doesn't announce a tragedy, give a lit
tie thanks instead of granting because
there is no news.

GOVERNOR WARFIELD'S
TEMPTING INVITATION.
naryland's Executive in SOul-Stirring
Terms PrOclaims the Spirit efOld
Home Week.

Governor Edwin Warfield has issued
a special proclamation for Maryland
OLD Home Week, which is to be celebrat-
ed in Baltimore October 18th to 10. The
edict is couched in the most tempting
language and ought to stir the u of
every native of the ''Old Line State"
who reads it. The Governor says
Whereas it is designed by the people
of Maryland to hold an "OLD HOME
FESTIVAL in the month of October,
1907, from the 18th to the 18th thereof,
inclusive, wherein Maryland shall well
come, with open doors, those of her
sons and daughters who have gone forth
from her towns and cities, from her
villages and her fertile farm lands, to
seek fortune and acquire fame, and to
help in the upbuilding of other States
and the founding of new homes; yea,
even to those who have established
themselves among foreign peoples.
1t is now my proud pleasure and pleas
ing duty to proclaim to them the well
come that awaits them, especially in
the celebration Of this event. Maryland
invites them to enjoy the many features
that have been provided for their enter
tainment, delectation and amusement
the City of Baltimore, at Annapolis,
the ancient Capital of the Common
wealth, and elsewhere, and urges them
to embrace this opportunity of visiting
the old homes and haunts, the familiar
scenes of early life and love and adven-
ture 50 dear to their hearts.
1t will be the season of the golden
autumn, when Maryland will be array
ed in her garments of glory, when the
fruits of her orchards and the crops of
her fields will be ripe for the garnering,
when the Chesapeake Bay will be yield
ing its perennial supply of oysters, fish,
terrapin and wild ducks, and the heart
Of nature will beat responsive to the
hearts of her happy children who come
to sit byeold hearthstones.
Now, THEREFORE, as Governor of the
Commonwealth of Maryland, l, Edwin
Warfeld, speaking as a parent, do, by
these presents, and by the authority of
the State, command all her children,
even unto the third and fourth genera
ton, to come to this festival of rest and
recreation, Of feasting and of friend
ship, and to bring with them their
friends and neighbors whether they be
native or not.
Proud of her children and their
achievements, proud of her place in the
galaxy of the great Commonwealths,
Maryland anXiously waits to CLASP her
home-comers to her breast 1t is her
fondest hope that no heart will resist
the invitation
Given under my hand and the Great
Seal Of the State of Maryland.

SWEET SCHEME, CHEAP SCHEME.
Advertised TO Sell Sugar at Two Cents
a Pound but Did'n. Make Good.

One day last week United States
Marshal Henry George, of Cumberland,
was at Swanton and there arrested a
young man named William G. Wagner
on the charge of having used for
fraudulent purposes the United States
mails. His hearing came up before
Commissioner Anderson on Saturday,
but owing to the absence of some i'm
portant witnesses in the matter the
case went oyer until this week, when it
will again be taken up, probably on
Friday.
Wagner is charged with having adj
vertised in various magazines and other
periodicals. over the country that he was
engaged in the manufacture of sugar.
which he sold at two cents per pound.
1t is also alleged that orders poured in
for the sugar from almost every section
of the United States, and that when an
order would come in Wagner would fill
it by buying sugar at five cents pound
anu IlSli wait lOI Jile SGCOHu OIutI
which would be largely increased as to
the amount. The second order would
not be filled. For instance, one man in
Illinois sent in an order for 200 pounds
of sugar. This was filled and when the
customer sent in an order for $50 worth
of sugar, the latter order, it is alleged,
was not filled.
1t is claimed that there will be over
one hundred witnesses, embracing vic
tins from nearly every section of the
United States.
1t is expected that Attorney j. C.
Rose will be present at the hearing to-
morrow, together with many witnesses.
1t will, if tried, be the first criminal
case to be tried in the Federal Court in
Cumberland and will necessitate the
drawing of grand and petit jurors.

THE DEATH RECORD.
MRS. LILY MORGAN sTEMPLE.

After brief illness, continuing only
a few days, Mrs. Lily Morgan Stemple
departed this life at her home near
Coleman, Michigan, on Wednesday,

season of great tribulation. typhoid
fever having come into her home and
laid hold upon four of her five children,
and through the long siege she watched
with a mothers tender devotion by the
bedside of her little ones until they
were all carried safely through the
racking fever. Then when the best
of her strength was gone, given to the
care of the children she loved, she too
was smitten and in a few days yielded
up her life willing and noble sacrifice
on the altar of mothers devotion.
Such deed needs no extolling and the
unfailing memory of such a one shall be
her lasting eulogy. The deceased is
survived by her father and mother, Mr..
and Mrs. p p Lohr, of Oakland; three
brothers: Wade Lohr, of Swanton; T.

MANY friends is extended.

There are mighty few young young
people who go into marriage with any
real idea of what it means. They get
their notion of it from among the clouds
where they live while they We're engag-
ed, and naturally about all they find up
there is wind and moonshine, or from
novels which always end before the real
trouble begins, or, if they keep on, leave
out the chapters that tells how the hus-
band finds the rent and the wife the
hired girl. But if theses one thing in
the world about which it's possible to
get all the facts, it's matrimony. Part
of them are right in the house where
you were born. and the neighbors have
the rest.
