The fans have about exhausted their
wit and knowledge in suggesting nick
for the Newark Eastern League
baseball team. Thousands of letters
have been received. OF the hundreds
of names submitted about a dozen are
looked upon with favor by Manager
George T. Stallings. The new man
ager declines to make an outright
selection, as he does not care to take
a decided stand in the matter. The
plan now is to make a blind draw from
a hat containing the most applicable
names, and the fan who was first 10
suggest the name adopted will receive
a season pass shortly before the open
ing of the championship season.
Following are some of the SUCCESS
tions received today:

Park A. A. BOWERS Look Like Winners.

Though not certain to turn the trick. the Park A A. bowlers are in an
enviablep position in the suburban League ice and shoud capture TIL cham
pionship for the season. Though the Bay Views, who are trailing the up
town pin-knights, should be nosedo ut at the finish, the fact that they have
taken four championships in a o. should be sufficient honor and they will
probably not mour greatly oyer finally being forced to take a lower place.

Rally.
Hon. William II. Berry and Con-
gressional Nominee J. Harry
Covington at Rising Sun.
ISSUES OF CAMPAIGN DISCUSSED

The democratic campaign was
formally opened in the Sixth dis
trict on Friday evening oflast week,
by meeting held in the town hall,
and addressed by Hon. VIM. H.
Berry, ex-treasurer of the State of
Pennsylvania, and J. Harry Cow
ington, ESQ.,, candidate for Congress
from the First Maryland District.
The hall was packed, not only
every available seat being occupied,
but the .aisles being filled and door
way and passage jammed by
crowd of interested listeners, who
punctuated the telling points made
by the speakers with enthusiastic
applause. The Rising Sun Cornet
Band was present and rendered
several selections.
The meeting was held under the
auspices of the Bryan, Kern and
Covington Club of the Sixth Dis.
trict, president Samuel Tyson pre-
siding and introducing the speakers.
Mr.. Berry in his address paid
glowing tribute to that matchless
leader and great commoner, VIM.
Jennings Bryan, declaring him to
be one of the greatest men ever
produced by the country, who
holds a place in the hearts of the
people occupied by no other man,
and whose nomination for the pres.
idency was brought about entirely
by them, despite the fact that he
was opposed by the high powers in
the democratic party. On the
other hand, Mr.. Berry declared,
Taft had been nominated by the
power Of Federal patronage, it
being the first time in the history
of the country that the nominee of
any party had been picked by the
incumbent. While Taft had been
holding Office for years, he seldom
ran. Bryan, he said, had held
office but was good runner.
Mr.. Berry assailed the trusts in
vigorous manner, attacking the
tariff and charging republican leg
islation as being responsible for the
wrecking of prosperity. He de.
clared that the great corporations
had conspired to loot the Ameri-
can people under the wing of
protective tariff, for these great in
stitutions of combined capital con-
nive to cruelty competition, and it
is the people who suffer. His dec
laration that if the trusts be taken
out of the republican party there
would be nothing left, evoked much
applause.
Mr.. Covington in his forceful
speech showed how those great
allied interests, the trusts, domi-
mated the republican party, by
placing their agents in supreme
control of its affairs, naming those
who were in direct management of /.
the present republican presidential
campaign, and citing their connec.
ton with numerous large cor
porations. He urged the necessity
of electing democratic Congress
to assist a democratic president in
the framing and passage of re-
medal legislation, promising to
devote his every effort in behalf of
the people of his district if favored
by election.
Mr.. Covington created splendid
impression with all who had the
pleasure of hearing him, making a
direct appeal for votes on the
merits of the issues of the cam.
paign and uttering no word of
personal abuse against his opponent
on the republican ticket.

Awarded Damages.

Jacob Rohrer, who owns a farm
near Quarryville, has been awarded
$500 damages in suit against the
Lancaster, Oxford & Southern rail-
road company. Mr.. Rohrer gave
the company right of way through
his property, for which he received
a consideration, but claimed that
the road was not built along the
route designated in the right of
way, alleging it was located some
800 feet distance at certain points
from the route agreed upon.
The defense claimed that the
change from the original survey
was made with Mr.. Rohrer's con-
sent, and as now located the line is
300 feet shorter through his farm
than originally intended.

There is only ono way to cnre deaf

tube is inhamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
is entirely cloaed deafness is the
result, and unless he inflammation csn
be taken out and this lube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out Of
