TEACHER ASSAULTED.
Cut, Beat, and Robbed of Watch and
Money.

Russell Shoemaker, teacher of the
public school at Bish's, near the Penn
sylvania line, was assaulted by three
white men about dusk Monday evening
and robbed of his watch and fob and
SLIP in money. Mr.. Shoemaker re-
manned after the closing hour to do
some work in the building, and it was
nearly dark when he started for the
farm of Charles Furry 1 mile away
where he boarded. About half way
there is a narrow road, with woods
on each side, and here he was con-
fronted by the three men. Two of
them held him while the third went
through his clothing. He did not sub
NIT quietly to this proceeding, but be-
gan struggling with his assailants,
one of whom dubbed him over the
head, while another used a knife,
slashing his collar and his coat across
the shoulder and from the elbow to
the wrist. The last cut was the only
one to scratch the skin, but all the
rents showed that the robbers were
out for blood.
Mr.. Shoemaker came to Westmin-
ster and reported the assault to States
Attorney Reifsnider, who is doing what
he can to discover the assailants.
Sheriff Townshend visited the scene,
but no arrests have yet been made.
Mr.. Shoemaker, resigned his position
and the school is now without teach

THE LINCOLN HIGHWAY.
Letter from VIM. B. Thomas, of West.
minister, to Congressman Lafean.
Westminster, Oct. Is, 10

Westminster, Oct. 13, 1908.
Honorable d. F. Lafean:
My Dear Sir-Having read an article
copied from the Gettysburg Star &
Sentinel of Pennsylvania referring to
the Lincoln Way" I hope you will
pardon me for addressing you. 1t is
my great pleasure to congratulate you
on such patriotic and kindred SUBJ
ject, of having conceived so popular
plan to do honor, to add glory and
praise to our deceased and beloved
chieftain, Abraham Lincoln.
Statues of marble, granite and
bronze, finished in the most artistic
style and reared in their majestic
form, piercing the fleecy clouds, are
but objects of notice, and a passing
admiration, and, time their destruc-
ton. The great national road way,
Lincoln Boulevard" appeals to the
hearts of patriotic Americans. Ninety
millions of it's citizens ask but to do
honor to so great a hero and revere
his every act. l sometimes wonder If
that memorable address on the battle
field at Gettysburg was not one of in
spiration from the spirit world.
Where is the man, whose soul is so
shriveled and sordid, who would OPP
pose so exalted and magnificent mon
ument, as a great thoroughfare, from
the capital of the greatest known ma
ton in the world to the historic bat
tie ground of Gettysburg, known in
modern history as one of the greatest
battles fought, where now sleep the de-
tenders. 1t was my pleasure recently
to meet some of the leading officials
from Washington, and in discussing
this road they frankly and freely ex-
pressed great desire to see it built
and would render such assistance and
give all aid that was possible. Not
only men holding high positions, but
all feel common interest in the pro-
motion of this national enterprise.
The nations capital is not only the
centre of attraction to our own coun-
trymen, but foreign subjects honor it
as we'll, and when one reaches Wash
ington and knowing of the historic
battlefield he has great desire to see
it, and with easy access over beauti-
full highway with various ways of
transportation and the way beautified
with trees and shrubbery and only
few hours travel, he will naturally
avail himself of the opportunity.
The shortest distance from Wash
ington to Gettysburg is u miles, and
should you be successful in passing
your bill for the appropriations re-
quired, myself or any of our people
in this section of country, who could
aid you in any way, will cheerfully do
so. am pleased to tell you that sew
eral years ago, was connected with
a number of gentlemen, who contem-
plated steam railroad from Wash
ington to Gettysburg and committee
was appointed to Investigate the most
desirable country and we had several

Academy of Music.

Wagenhals & Kemper will present
the most charming of American act
resses, Annie Russell, at the Acad-
envy of Music, Baltimore, next week,
in "The Stronger Sex" play from
the pen of John Valentine. The play
caused furore in London, running
at the Haymarket theatre for 285
nights. The American rights were
secured by her managers for Miss
RuSsell's use this season, because the
principal character seemed especi-
ally adapted to her personality. Two
years ago Miss Russell was the SEN
sation of New York and the greater
part of America, which she visited
during long and highly successful
tour, as PUCK" in a memorable re-
vival of ga Midsummer Nights
Dream" also under the management
of Wagenhals & Kemper.
This season she is capturing the
hearts of theatregoers by assuming
the role of young American girl,
the daughter of wealthy Texas cat
tie king, who when visiting in England
is entangled in a matrimonial alliance
with the Hon. Warren Darlington, the
son of penniless but proud English
family. She loves him with all the
ardor of her unspoiled giriish nature
until the wedding day Then, by
chance, she overhears him tell it in
the most calculating and cold-blood-
ed manner that it was merely her
wealth that attracted him. That mo-
ment makes her woman, with but
one aim in life, to make her husband
repent of his bargain. She hides her
hatred with consummate art and takes
her sweet revenge by keeping firm
hand on the financial affairs of the
family, paying off his debts in such
a manner that he is made ridiculous
in the eyes of his creditors and max
ing him an allowance for pocket
money.
The continued action seems to
awaken the dormant manhood in
Darlington, who, quitting his idle hab-
it's, embarks in business enterprises
which result fortunately. He next
honestly falls in love with his wife,
who is finally made to understand the
change that has taken place in her
husbands heart.
For Miss Russell's support, Wag-
enhals & Kemper have euUged bril-
liant cast, including Oswald Yorke,
Dore Davidson, Alma Kruger, Walter
Hitchcock and. other players OF note.
There will be matiness Wednesday
and Saturday.

far around, and at, the same time cut
