A Mistake Corrected.

1t is a mistake to combine in the same
remedy both stomach and liver medicines,
because the stomach is not always out of
order when the liver is, or vica versa.
While it is true that these organs are so
closely related that when one is affected
the other is likely to be also, still there
are times when one is affected and the
other is not. 1t is serious error to
give a liver medicine combined with a
stomach medicine when the stomach only
needs treatment, and it is not necessary
to treat the stomach when the liver only
is disordered. Rydale's method is the
most sensible one. He does not combine
the two, but makes a tablet for the
stomach and a tablet for the liver, which
can be combined if necessary. Guaran.

Frederick Wants New Depot.

A movement backed by all business in
terests is about to be started in Freder-
lex in favor of new union depot. The
matter has been under advisement for
some time and will, it is understood, be
taken up by citizens in conjunction with
the Business Mems Association.
In speaking of the move one of Fred
erick's best-known citizens said that
everyone familiar with existing conditions
can understand why such request is
reasonable. Frederick is now undergo
ing the greatest building boom in it's his
tory, and the railroads, which are bene-
fited by this progressive movement on
the part Of the people, should join in the
advancement"
The Pennsylvania and Baltimore and
Ohio stations do not afford accommoda-
tons desired by the travelling public, and
for long time it has been a cherished
hope in Frederick that the old buildings
will give way to new and modern ones.
It is now thought that a union depot on
Market street, below Carroll creek, or on
East Patrick street would be more desir-
able. t-Sun.

Graceham Letter.

On last Friday midnight our people
were startled by the alarm of fire by the
ringing of the church bell. The memory
and experience of fourteen years ago
made the alarm more apprehensive and
fearful to many of US.
Near about IL o'clock the warehouse of
Mr.. j. C. Pyle at the railroad station was
discovered to be on fire and already 30
far advanced, that nothing could be done
to save the building or any of its con-
tents. The cream separator building
near by and machinery were destroyed.
Only by hard work and near supply of
water to use was the hay shed and its
contents saved.
1t is quite evident that spark from a
freight train passing about eleven o'clock
is the real cause of the fire, as those first
to reach the place, say that the north
west end of the porch and building was
already about consumed.
The buildings were insured, but Mr..
Pyle carried no insurance on his stock of
goods, which entails to him total loss
of So, 500 to 81, 900, and also very heavy
loss by burning of his booksa and accounts.
Mr.. Hynson, of Bridgeton, and Aessrs
Pyle, of Gatchellville, Pa, brotherinlaw
and brothers of Mr.. Pyle, were here last
Tuesday, and their visit may conclude his
future plans. 1t is hoped he may be en-
couraged by the kindly help of his many
friends to rebuild and begin business
again, as Graceham can not possibly do
without such place of general exchange.
Mr.. Hostetter, one of the firm of the
Hanover Produce Co., of Hanover, Pa,
which was running the cream separator,
was here Tuesday and stated that they
will at once arrange SO that the separa-
tor business will be speedily put in run
ming order again.

The Kiss.

A kiss is a peculiar proposition--of no
use to one, yet absolutely bliss to two.
The small boy gets it for nothing, the
young man has to steal it and the old
man has to buy it. The baby right, the
lovers privilege, the hypocrite's mask.
To young girl, faith; to married wom-
an, hope; and to an old maid charity.
The bliss of the kiss however, is frequent
ly lessened, or lost entirely on account of
offensive breath, of one or both of the
participants caused by indigestion or dys-
pepsia. There is no occasion for this con-
dition though for the reason that Rydale's
Stomach Tablets will soon correct the
stomach trouble and do away with the
bad breath. They (the Stomach Tablets
not the kiss] are guaranteed by DR..
James X. Waters. Directions: Take two
boxes Rydale's Stomach Tablets and fol-
low up with the kiss as often as conven-
lent,

Funds for W., F. & G. R. r. Are Now

Assured. Deed Of Trust Executed.
A deed of trust from the Washington,
Frederick & Gettysburg Railway Com
pany to the Baltimore Trust and Guaran-
tee Company, to secure an issue Of $780,
600 worth of bonds, was filed for record
in the office of the clerk Of the circuit
court this morning.
The deed covers all of the property OF
the company, and all of it's franchises in
Frederick and Montgomery counties,
from the District of Columbia line to the
Pennsylvania line. The deed provides for
sinking fund, to be created by setting
apart annually portion of the earnings
of the road, for the redemption Of the
bonds.
This issue of bonds, which is to cover
that part of the road now under construc-
ton, between Frederick and Emmitsburg
by way of Thurmont, is at the rate OF
about $l3, 500 per mile, and is said to be
much lower than the bonded indebted
ness per mile, of similar railways. At
present, the company proposes to issue
only $3.50, worth of bonds, for the
completion of the road to Thurmont, a
distance of about II miles. The residue
of the bonds will be held for the extern
sion of the road to Emmitsburg or the
Pennsylvania line.
The bonds will run for thirty years and
bear interest at the rate of per cent,
payable semi annually. They will be re-
deemable in whole or in blocks of not less
than $4,000 at any interest paying period
npon 60 days notice. For the accom-
mediation of local people, they will be is
sued in denominations OF 500, $500 and
81 900, and will be offered first to the
stockholders and then to the general local
public. Secretary C. C. Waters stated
that arrangements had been made for the
sale of all bonds not taken by local peo-
pie, so that the company is assured of
money for the building of the road.
A shipment of 700 tons of rails, ex-
pected here last month, has been delayed,
but the company has been notified that
the rails will be shipped on May 18th. A
shipment of 500 tons will follow in June
and the balance in August.
A working arrangement is expected
soon to be completed with the Western
Maryland Railroad, for the interchange
of business, both freight and passenger,
at Thurmont.
The trolley line will be a standard
gauge road, so that cars of the size used
on steam railways may be hauled over it.
Loaded cars, therefore, can be delivered
to the trolley line by the Western Mary
land at Thurmont and hauled direct to
ck.-Frederick Daily News of
Monday last.

But Three Remains.

The old landmarks along the line of the
Western Maryland Railroad have one

ion of warehouses during the past five or
six years having been exceptional. At
Union Bridge, Middleburg, Double Pipe
Creek (Detour) twice, Rocky Ridge,
Graceham and Thurmont, fire has come
within the past six or eight years; at
Logs big fire destroyed a portion of the
railroad property and a new elevator
building has replaced the old structure.
Between New Windsor and the top Of the
mountain but three of the original ware
houses remain, viz: at York Road, Deer

Dug Their Way Out OF Jail.

"Gig" Rockwell, Clay and Wade Ken
ma alias John and Harry Cyholtz, escaped
from the Hagerstown Jail last Friday;
the discovery not being made until sew
eral hours afterward. Rockwell was held
for court on charge of robbing the W..
M. Railroad Toulouse at Williamsport,
and the Kenna's for robbing freight
car of about $50 worth Of merchandise at
Edgemont.
The prisoners dug their way to liberty
with sharp iron cornhusker through a
brick wall nearly feet thick. They in
vited ICY" Young, in Jail on the charge
of stealing suit of clothes, to join them,
but Young refused to 60.
The trio after escaping, jumped a
Western Maryland freight train near
Chewsvills and rode to Thurmont, where
they got off. Here Rockwell left them
and probably went up into Pennsylvania.
The Kenna brothers, from Thurmont,
went to the home of their mother, near
Creagerstown, Saturday morning. At
night they went into Frederick, going
thence to Braddock Heights, where they
boarded a trolley car for Funkstown.
They walked from Funkstown to Half
way to the farms of the Eckstines, where
they had been employed prior to their
arrest.
Sheriff Deibert met Sheriff Martz at
Myersville on Sunday and together the
two officers followed the fugitives to
Halfway. They admitted to the officers
they had broken Jail, and also confessed
to robbing box car at Edgemont of $50
of merchandise. Sheriff Martz has a
warrant for the Kenna brothers for steal
ing a horse last winter from Mr.. Harris,
near Lickville, Frederick county.
