IN BEHALF OF TOWN COW
Reasons Why I. N. Fields Believes She
 Should Run at Large.

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 Will you be kind enough to al low me space ill your paper to raise a voice in behalf of what l believe to be a very large and respectable class of the citizens of Conway! In the last issue of your paper we notice an article about the stock law, and while some of your reas- oning at first glance appears to be good and for the best interest of the town, yet you fail to distinguish between the milch COW and stock in general. There are number of as good citizens as Conway has, wao can ill afford to keep COW If they are forced to keep her confined in dry lot and be forced to pay tribute to the cotton seed trust.
 There are several widow women i'll Conway who have families to care for, some of them with small children. These women pay tax es to help support the city govern ment, besides paying high rents to the property owners, and to deny these women the privilege of allow ing their COW to run at large, is to deny to her the power of providing food for herself and little ones. To say that this class of people are de- sirous of imposing upon their neighbors is, we think unwarrant- ed and unsupported by the facts.
 There is a great deal of land un- enclosed in and near Conway up- on which grass grows abundantly and to deny 10 the poor people t. e privilege of letting their milch cows feed upon this, their natural food, is to impose upon them an unjust and an unreasonable burden.
 There is yet another reason why we favor letting the milch COW feed upon the vegetation that natures God has provided for her. It IS the will and wish of large major ity of the people of this little c y that the ordinance be repealed as to the COW. We feel safe in say ing that two-thirds of the voters are opposed to the ordinance. There has never been a day when majority of the taxpayers were in favor of the law.
 I am not knocker or a kicker, and am heartily ill favor of any law that is for the best interest of our beautiful little town of churches and schools, but I believe in the principle of democracy and think that the majority should rule, and that no minority, however wealthy or influential, should be allowed to rule.
 MT. Editor, as an individual, l am not concerned as to the law, yet I desire to aid in whatever way I can the widow and her children together with all others who desire and should have this ordinance re- pealed. If the council wants to ascertain the sentiment of this town as to the COW, they will only have to use their senses and listen to the talk of the people.
 Gentlemen of the council, in the name of majority of the taxpayers of this town and upon behalf of the little orphan children who are crying for their natural food and anxious mothers, l ask you to re- peal the law and give to these pee pie the right to make an honest living and support their families as you support yours.

GOOD SHOWING.
Financial Institutions of Carroll Show
Large Increase i'm Deposits.

In 1895 the deposits in the national
banks of Carroll county were less
than half million dollars, the exact
figures being $421, ,22992. Today they
are $1,520,2S3.36, an increase of near
ly $40 per cent This, however, rep
resents only a part of the savings
of our people. The trust companies
and savings banks have on deposit
more than $2,500,000, making $4,000
900, or about 500 for each man, wo-
man and child in the county.
Among these institutions, the
Sykesville National Bank shows up
remarkably we'll, with a deposit
account of $215,691.01. During the
past year it's deposits have increased
nearly $4,000.
The Union Bridge Bank and Trust
Co. have just declared their usual
per cent. semi-annual dividend, clear
of all taxes, and carried to the sur
plus fund $4,000 out of the earnings
of the past 6 months. The deposit
gained about $4,000 in deposits since
the first of last April, which must be
very gratifying to the stockholders
and patrons of the bank.
In the advertising columns the
Westminster Deposit and Trust Co.
announce their regular semi-annual
dividend of per cent. and an extra
dividend Of 11a per cent, clear of all
taxes. This is equivalent to a yearly
dividend of 10 per cent, and indicates
that the company is in most pros
porous condition.

Well! Surprised Again.

1t is not often that both Of the fam
lily are caught in a surprise, but such
was the case of Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. F.
Eckenrode, Liberty street, on Wednes-
day night, it being Mr.. Eckenrode' S
birthday. Mrs. Eckenrode, who has
always taken part in surprising her
husband, was only talking to her
friends few days previous about
springing another surprise, but gave
it up, thinking possibly he would sus-
pect it. This did not stop the little
game. The friends took it up and
gave both a fright when they entered
the house. The evening was spent
pleasantly in different ways, refresh
ments being one of the chief features
of the evening, after which all left
for their happy homes we'll pleased.
Those who attended were Harry H.
Harbaugh and wife, Guy Fringer and
wife, Geo. F. Eckenrode and wife,
James M. Stoner and wife, James L..

James M. Stoner furnished a num-
ber of selections on the graphophone

HARIG IN BALTIMORE.
Says He Was Treated Well i'm West.
minister.

William F. Harig, who was acquit-
ted in the Carroll County Cirucit
Court of the murder Of James Mahon,
returned to Baltimore Monday. In
reply to questions as to his future
plans, Harig said:
II am thinking of returning and
settling in Westminster, as the people
there treated me as grand as if I had
been the King of England The best
people of the town were the ones that
offered me help and welcome, too,
and, at last, I got ashamed to walk
along the streets, as people would
raise their windows and speak to me
kindly. Even the women and chill
dren and the dakies did this. They
all came to see me.
II received several good offers in
Westminster, even though my age is
against me, and l may take one of
them. I might go into business there
The Register Company offered me en-
plOyment for my son, but I will make
no decision for some days until I feel
better. Should l go to Westminster
will take my whole family with me.
1 am sorry that l cannot talk about
the case, but 1 am not well enough.
My wind is gone and l don't feel well
enough to go out yet. If ever decide
to talk about what 1 said before I left
Westminster, however, everyone shall
hear if -

Academy of Music.

On next Monday evening at the
Academy of Music, Baltimore, the
Viennese soulful musical success "a
Waltz Dream ("Ein Walzertraum')
will be seen for return engage
ment here. Oscar Strauss operetta,
which is in three acts, has been one
of the European musical sensations
for nearly two years. 1t has also re-
corded an extraordinary success at
the Broadway Theatre, New York,
where it played to record business
throughout last winter. In it, the
composer has exploited the delight
full part that the waltz plays in Vien-
nese life and it's irresistible power
over that life-loving people. 1t is said
to have the real spirit of Viennese
gayety and demonstrates again that
the name Strauss casts magic spell
over the waltz. Appropriate is the
title "A Waltz Dream" for while the
number Loves Roundelay" not only
furnishes the thread upon which the
opera is built, also crops out haunt
ingly throughout the score, it is only
one of several waltzes occurring in
the three acts. The selection and ar
rangement are said to be varied and
original, and the result is music that,
while possessing all the elegance,
grace and melody of Mr.. Strauss pre-
decessors, is more successfully am
bilious than any comic opera unfOlded
in years. The cast includes Henry
Donnelly, Sophie Brandt, Joseph Her.
bert, Josie Sadler, Henry Cote, Oc-
tavia Broske, Mildred Rogers, Law
renee Coever and large chorus.

A very pleasant and delightful dance

STRAW SENT TO FRISCO.
Carroll County Product Famed Across
the Country.

Last week the Advocate noted the
fact that N l. Gorsuch Son & Co., of
this city, had shipped a carlaod of
rye straw to San Francisco.
The chief feature OF the transaction
was the fact that the freight charges
in getting this car to It's destination
were 500 more than the market value
of it's contents. The straw was val
ued at $3.50, while the freight charge
was $500.
The straw was ordered by Fl. A.
Davis, of the Pacific coast city, and
was to be used for stufing harness
collars. When the order was sent to
Mr.. Gorsuch he was so much concern
ed by the difference in the cost of the
material and the fr>:ght charges that
he wrote to the purchaser asking for
a draft to cover the cost before ship
ment was made. This was promptly
answered with a draft on the Hanover
National Bank New York, payable at
the First National bank of Westmin-
Ster.
] The straw has been shipped and is
now on it's way across the continent.
Mr. Gorsuch says he has been notified
that if it's quality is satisfactory he
may receive further orders from the
same Western firm.
He explained that the rye grown
in Carroll and Frederick counties is
beaten out by fails, consequently the
straw is unbroken and retains its
toughness This is what is desired
in making high-grade harness.

Horse Killed on Railroad,

When the engineer of the fast mail
for Baltimore got down to oil his
engine at Westminster at 6.1O Tues
day evening he discovered a riding
saddle on the pilot Of the engine He
could not account for it's presence
there until Arthur Frock stepped up
and claimed the saddle. Young Frock,
who is son of John Frock, who man
ages the Caylor farm, owned by B.
F. Shriver & Co., saddled a horse
and rode to Spring Mills, where he
tied the animal and went in to a store.
When he came out the horse was gone.
The young man walked all the way
to Westminster in search of it. After
finding the saddle, he walked back
up the road, and just this side of
Avondale he discovered the dead body
of the horse lying near the track, par
TALLY disembowled. The engineer
was not aware that he had struck
anything, and the horse was prob
ably hit glancing blow, ripping off
the saddle and tearing open it's body.
The animal was owned by the B. F.

Remember Our County Poor.
For the Advocate

For the Advocate.
The near approach of Christmas
reminds us that there are more than
the usual number of aged and afflicted
persons in our Carroll County Home,
looking forward to the annual treat,
which through the kind assistance of
friends throughout the county, we
have been able to prepare for them in
the past. AS the responses hereto
fore have been so prompt and liberal,
we feel that we can, with confidence,
promise them that when the glad
Christmas comes again there will be
many who have contributed, and from
out of the abundant blessings given
| them are willing to share with His
poor some of the joy and brightness
of the blessed Christmas time.
During the year many have passed
over to the other side, but others have
taken their places, and to them the
celebration of Christmas will be, per-
haps, joyful surprise. They are old
they are poor, they are afflicted; let us
help to brighten the last days of those
to whom has come so much of sorrow
and distress. All contributions should
be sent to me as early as possible, as
it takes time and thought to select
iand purchase articles which will
give pleasure and comfort to the re-
. cipients, and each donation will be
acknowledged and gratefully received
no matter-bow small it may be.
Let every man do according as
he is disposed in his heart, not grudg-
ingly, or of a necessity, for God loveth
a cheerful giver." The inmates of our
County Home come from all parts of
the county, and the little gifts have an
added value when we are able to say
that the money given for their pur-
chase came from their own home dis
trict. 1t only takes a little from the
many more fortunate citizens to
brighten the darkened lives of the few.
Let us all help. Please address all
contributions to the care of Miss Mary
