Funds To Be Raised December IL
To Furnish Union Hospital.
GET TAGGED" AND HELP CAUSE

The Ladies' Auxiliary of the
Union Hospital of Elkton are inter-
esting the ladies and churches of
Cecil county, asking them to hold
"Tag Day" on Saturday, Dec. 12,
for the purpose of raising funds for
the iospital. A tag will be attach
ed to each contributor, regardless
of the amount given and the pro-
ceeds from this novel form of col
lection will be devoted to furnish
ing the newly opened hospital.
The ladies of West Nottingham
Presbyterian church, considering it
too difficult for them to personally
see large portion of the congre-
cation on the day specified, have
concluded to hold supper and
bazar Tuesday evening, Dec. s, and
devote the proceeds towards the
above cause. Should Tuesday
evening prove stormy the supper
will be held the following evening.
Supper will be served from to 8
O'Clock.
This is one of the most praise
worthy movements the citizens Of
Cecil county have ever been asked
to support, being a charity which
will meet the needs of the un-
fortunate who are stricken with ILL
less or accident and care for them
free of charge. In previous con.
tributions towards the establish
ing of this institution the Sixth
district has been in the front rank
and a liberal response on Dec. -
will make the "Banner District"
afutter with tags and the recipient
of congratulations from the pro-
moters of the cause. Let's all
play tag and be IT.

driven to North Carolina waters.
The Governor promised to i'm.
mediately consult with Commander

LEFT FLAG FOR WOMAN.
Now Lloyd Kintzer Is Held as a
Deserter.

Lloyd NJ. Kintzer was arrested to-
day by Detectives Hutton and Hopkins
at 1910 Locust street as a deserter
from the Second cavalry regiment
which camped at the reform school
grounds Monday of this week.
There's a woman in the case.
Kintzer left his regiment here Mon
day and did not again report for
duty. The charms of this Topeka girl
were more alluring that those of the
flag of his country and Kintzer passed
up Mars for Venus. His story to the
police was that he had left camp and
could not find his way back. AS an
excuse this should prove satisfactory
in every way to his commanding Of
ficer.
The Thirteenth infantry camped
here Sunday and did not lose a man,
while the cavalry. the romantic
branch of the service, has lost two
khaki boys up to date. and there may
be others.

DECLARES 1T OPEN.
Chairman Mack Starts the Democrat
Campaign at Chicago.

Chicago Aug. THE headquarters
OF the national Democratic committee
in Chicago were formally opened to-
day on the arrival here from the east
of Norman E. Mack, the national
chairman, who announced that from
campaign will be waged actively
throughout the country. On reaching
the new offices in the Auditorium
annex, Chairman Mack issued a call to
the heads Of the various subcomnnit-
tees of the national committee to meet
him here Monday. to confer on general
plans of campaign which have been
outlined. Chairman Macy will leave
Chicago next Tuesday to attend the
Bryan notification at Lincoln.
During the day Mr.. Mack held con-
ferences with Roger c. Sullivan. ma
tional committeeman from Illinois, and
other committeeman and Democrats
influential in the party councils. Mr..
Mack said:
while the campaign is young it has
made degree of progress that is ex-
tremely gratifying to the Democratic
management. States in all parts Of the
country, heretofore regarded as Re-
publican strongholds are now debatable
ground and will be swung into the
Democratic column. I found conditions
in the east that presage Democratic
victories. The selection of Senator
Culberson, of Texas. as chairman Of
the advisory committee to succeed
former Governor Francis of Missouri,
meets with the entire approval Of the
former Missouri governor, who himself
will do all in his power to aid in the
campaign. Mr.. Francis is still a
member of the committee but was I'M
able to serve as chairman because he
expected to be abroad much of the
time during the campaign"

LONG FIGHT AHEAD.
Canadian Pacific Is Well Prepared for
Strike Situation.

Winnipeg, Man., Aug. Tt is be-
ginning to be realized that the Cana
dian Pacific railway is prepared for
a strike struggle with the mechanics,
which will last some time. The COM
pany's locomotives and rolling stock
are at present in excellent condition,
the dry summer having caused little
wear. Besides 800 Japanese mechan-
les trained in the railway shops of the
Pacific coast states and in technical
schools are arriving and are being dis
tributed where necessary. Sleeping
and dining cars have been drawn up
close to the shops to provide accom-
modations for the nonunion workmen,
guarded by special constables.
Fifteen shop firemen or gang bosses
walked out here last evening, declin-
ing to work with the imported men.
Only one declined to come out. No
violence or disorder has been report
ed from any of the company's shops
in WESTERN Canada. Mass meetings
continue to be held by the men and
the pickets are continuing to keep close
watch at the shops and all incoming
trains. New corners are employed in
almost all departments and are divid-
ed into shifts which work night and
day. All locomotives receive inspec-
ton and undergo repairs before leav-
ing the roundhouse and coaches are
iced and taken care of by the men
who are taking the places of the strik-
ers.
A gang of Iaborers were put to work
to fill in the open spaces beneath the
fence that surrounds the yards. and
in this and other ways the company is
preparing to safe guard its property.
Throughout last night the strikers had
pickets posted at all entrances to the
yards and they took. care that they
could not be seen from within. 1t is
not expected that the strike will in
terfere in any way with the handling
of the western crops, even though it
should last until wheat moving COM
mences. Wheat will not begin to
reach the railroad in any volume for
five or six weeks.
It is expected that the crop will re-
quire about 10000 box cars and of
these there are already 10000 in the
west with a corresponding supply OF
engines. The rest will be sent on as
freight conditions require and will be
kept in the west until they are re-
uuired. The Canadian Pacific tele-
graphers are seriously preparing for
strike within a fortnight. The ar
bitration award will be forwaded to
Ottawa next week and the men do not
expect to be satisfied with IT. At CAL
gary the Canadian Pacific railway has
put 81 Japanese at work in the round
house, otherwise there the situation
remains unchanged.
The company will have several plain
clothes men in that city to protect the
new workmen. Two locomotives were
out of use there yesterday owing to
the fact that the boilermakers are not
working. At Kamloops last night.
conductor of a westbound freight
train declined to take out train un-
til he had a written order authorizing
him to do so, without official inspec-
ton by car repairers. He was given
the order.

WOULDN'T RIDE BAREBACK.
Chris Lee Ran Away When Required
to Do So.

Chris Lee. a member of the Second
United States cavalry that campcd
here Monday on the march from Des
Moines, Iowa, to Fort Riley, was ar
rested by the police as a deserter. Lee
is a young fellow about 81 years old
and declares that he is not a deserter,
but left his regiment at Wamego yes
terday and came to Topeka to escape
having to ride bareback on the march
yesterday. He said:
MY horse has a small sore on his
back and the lieutenant ordered me to
place my saddle in the commissary
wagon and ride bareback on the 20
mile trip from Wamego to Manhattan
1 refused to do this and skipped out
that night and came to Topeka.
ct am not a deserter. / did not take
off my uniform nor try to avoid detec-
ton, but was merely absent one day
from roll call. They will take me to
Manhattan today and 1 will rejoin my
troop. 1 won't ride bareback, though,
even If they put me under arrest"
Lee lives in Platte county. Mo-. and
enlisted in the army at Des Moines six
months ago.

WASTING WATER.
Chicago Is Losing s3.OOO.oOO Gallons
Annually.

Chicago Aug. 7.-Chicago is wasting
water at the rate Of more than $1,000
100000 gallons per year.
This estimate, accompanied by a pro-
test is included in the annual report of
City Engineer John Ericsson, made
public today. Mr. Ericsson also takes
up the meter question in his report,
showing that consumers without
meters get their water for less than
one-third of what meter users have to
pay. He asserts that the city is not
receiving IAN adequate return or reve-
nue. from the unmetered supply
According to the report the city
pumped in 1907. 1888 million gallons
of water. receiving a revenue of a.
453, 900 for it, or at the rate of 2.69 cents
per 1000 gallons. To the meter users,
however, the water was sold at the
rate of z cents per 1000 gallons, while
consumers without meters got 1t at the
estimated rate OF only 1t cents Der
1000 gallons.
