HagerstoWn Boy Has Been
Taken to Cincinnati Where
He Will Be Treated.
CASE AROUSES INTEREST.
YOUNG ADAMS is ONE OF THE
PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELE.
GRAM PONY AND CART CON-
TESTANTS.

Carol Adams, the eight-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Milton Adams of Ha-
gerstown, is a cripple, suffering with
tuberculosis of the hips. When the
contest for the Palladium's pony and
cart started young Adams came out
as a candidate for the prize and his
many friends in Hagerstown, with
whom he is a universal favorite, or
ganized themselves into a soliciting
corps to help the unfCYtunate young
Sief. capture the pony and cart, for
which he longs with all his heart.
After Carol had started his canvass
a newspaper correspondent at Hag-
erstown sent picture of the lad, to-
gether with an account of his Grip
pied condition and his quest for the
Palladium pony and cart. This pic
ture and the accompanying article
was published. A wealthy Cincinnati
woman. noted for her charity, read
about young Adams and Immediately
decided to do everything in her pow
er to have Carol cured of his malady.
To be sure that the article was not
"fake" this lady. whose identity has
sire. sent a minister to Hagerstown.
He called at the Adams home and
learned that everything which had
been published was authentic. He re-
ported this to the Cincinnati woman
and she Immediately made prepara-
tions to have Carol placed in Cincin-
natl hospital. Mr.. and Mrs. Adams
have not enough worldly goods to
have their son operated on by spec
ialists and when Carols unknown
benefactor offered to pay all expenses
connected with an operation at Gin
cinnati hospital it is needless to say
these parents were overcome with joy.
Carol was equally pleased-no opera
ton held any terrors for him so long
as he had a chance to be cured of his
disease.
Wednesday a representative of Car
OILS benefactor arrived at Hagerstown
to take him to Cincinnati. The lad was
also accompanied by his parents. AS
the little cripple was wheeled down
the street to the depot in his invalid's
chair, he was greeted everywhere by
his many friends, both old and young,
who wished him Godspeed. Three old
men standing on a corner near the de-
pot bade goodbye to the little sufferer
with tears in their eyes and after tell
ing him to hurry and "get well'' so
that he could return to them, each
placed a dollar in his hands. At the
depot there was quite a crowd of peo-
pie to say farewell to Carol. With
tears in his eyes, Carol bid them good
bye and was then carried onto the
train. During his absence from Hag-
erstown his friends will keep up the
fight to win the pony and cart for him.
The operation to be performed on Car
oil is said to be dangerous one, but if
successful will effect permanent
cure

of the country. Horse stealing is now
a common occurrence in these coun-

a month to assist in the capture of
horse thieves. Nearly ever thief oper-
ating in counties neighboring Wayne

reason the local police began to sus-
picion that there was rendezvous
somewhere in the vicinity of Chester
where stolen horses were secreted un-

chester thief suddenly disappeared at
a point on the Chester road about
four miles north of Chester.
Officer McManus had heard rumors
that there was a secluded woodland in
that part of the county where rllmor
had it that stolen horses were conceal

chester thief he searched around until
he found on a little used side road
a deep little valley entirely surround
ed by numerous trees and heavy un-
derbrush There was one entrance to
this valley but so arranged as to be
invisible from the nearest road. En-
tering this place Sergeant McManus
found buggy tracks and hoof prints

inion that he had run across the rom

the hoof prints and buggy tracks were
fresh and it is almost certain that the
Winchester thief rested his tired beast

Powerful Ships to Take Place
Of Ones Being Sent to
The Pacific.
NINE VESSELS FORM BASIS.
THIS ANNOUNCEMENT DlsPosEs
OF THE TALK THAT GERMANY
WILL GUARD THE ATLANTIC
COAST.

New York. Sept. 5.-From good au-
thority information comes that at the
instance OF President Roosevelt. the
navy department has already begun to
formulate plans for the establishment
of another Atlantic fleet. one that will
replace the amanda which Admiral
waters.
Although the dispatch of these six
teen battle ships removes from Allan
tic waters the chief naval reliance OF
this country. it is known that the gov
ernment has no intention of keeping
the Atlantic seaboard denuded OF nav
al defense. Its plans. which are now
being fastened to completion. con-
template the establishment of another
powerful fleet of armor-clads. whose
base will be in Atlantic waters.
Disposes Of Idle Talk.
This disposes of all the idle talk
that President Roosevelt had entered
into an understanding with the Ger
man emperor by which the German
fleets were to guard these shores af-
ter the departure of Admiral Evans
and his sixteen battle ships.
The flagship of the new fleet Is to
be the New Hampshire, $4,000 ton
battle ship, which is to be ready for
commission early in January. Soon
after her pennant is broken out she
will be Joined by the Mississippi and
Idaho, two first-class battle ships
which the Cramps are building and
which are now more than 80 per cent
completed.
Three Powerful Ships.
These three ships are alone as pow
erful as was the Atlantic attIe-ship
fleet at the time OF the war with
Spain. They are to have ms consorts
three of the veterans OF that war
the Iowa. Indiana and Massachusetts.
All three of these are now being mod
ernized and, when completed. will be
far more powerful and efficient than
they were during the Santiago cam
paign.
Thus there are six powerful battle
ships which will soon be gathered in
to another Atlantic fleet This fleet
will have as its auxiliaries the three
new scout cruisers. which are now al
most ready for service. these being
the Chester. Birmingham and Salem.
These vessels are of 1850 tons each,
and are expected to attain the extra
ordinary speed OF 25 knots an hour.
To be Increased Later.
It is these nine vessels which the
navy department means to form into
new Atlantic fleet. The fleet will
subsequently be increased by the ad-
dition OF two 16,00O-ton battle ships
South Carolina and Michigan, and
those two fast armored cruisers,
North Carolina and Montana, vessels
of 14,500 tons, and an Improvement on
any that are now in the service
Through the same authority it 10

government to send the Evans fleet to

Bismarck, N. D., April 22.-Judge
Burke of Valley City opened district
court today at Bismarck for the pur-
pose of hearing the proceedings in the
case of removal from office of States
Attorney A. T. Patterson of this city.
The fact that the governor is not vest
ed with the power of removing a states
attorney from office, the matter goes to
the district court. Before calling i'll
Judge Burke to try the case Judge
Winchester of this city appointed At
torneys Stevens and Register of this
city to prosecute and Patterson has
engaged Attorneys Young of Fargo and
Newton of Bismarck to assist him with
the defense. 1t is said that E. G.. Pc
tersOn is responsible for having the
complaint filed asking the removal of
ATTORNEY A. T. Patterson, and Attor-
ney B. G. Townsend of Fargo has been
here looking after E. G. Peterson's in
terests in the matter. Court adjourned
Saturday in order to give the defend-
ant time to answer the complaint, but
instead the defendant filed an affidavit
of prejudice on the part OF Judge Burke
and asked for a change of judges,
which request was granted. 1t is not
known as yet who will try the case,
but before court adjourned this AFTER
noon Judge Burke announced that he
would first call Judge Pollock into the

preside Judge Allen will be called, and
should he fail to take the case Judge

be the decision of the first case of its
