Bogus Mining Experts.

Employment by the United
States Geological Survey, for even
short time or in any capacity, ,ap-
pears to have a commercial value
that is rated high. Even the cooks
and teamsters of the field parties
refer proudly to their connection
with the Survey and reap the re-
ward of popular credit that at
taches to their public service.
The advertisement of such con-
nection after it ceases, however,
has sometimes been the source Of
trouble or embarrassment to the
Survey, especially where it is used
for the furtherance of doubtful
mining schemes, and the Survey
desires to give emphasis and wide
publicity to the fact, now fairly
we'll known, that no member of it's
scientific corps is allowed to do
private professional work IN the
United State during the period of
his employment. The rules OF the
Survey are, indeed, so stringent,
that no one connected with 1t in
any capacity-whether as messen-
ger, laborer, clerk, or scientist
is permitted to hold stock in any
mining company in the United
States. The public is warned to
look carefully into the statements
and the standing of any practic-
ing mining engineer who adver-
tises present connection with the
Survey.
The fact that the staff of the
Geological Survey is not composed
exclusively Of geologists is too of
ten overlooked. OF the twelve
EuL dred or more persons connect
ed with it in 1908, not more than
10 per cent are geologists, and not
more than ] per cent are engaged
in work whose character implies
ability to determine the merits of
u mining prospect or enterprise.

rendered at the u. b. church,
Thursday evening, consisting OF
Christmas songs by the Sunday

the largest cradle roll department
in the county.
The pastor exhibited u beautiful
little cradle decorated with rib

name of II baby, of the cradle roll

EIIery's Band Coming to Logan

The coming of the famous Ellery
Band to this city promises to be
the most important musical event
that has ever occurred here, and
already people are beginning to
talk about this marvellous organi-
cation and the especially fine music
which it produces. The Ellery
Band has spent four con secutiVe
summers in Chicago, playing there
at all the first class resorts like
the Coliseum and Bismarck Gar
den and the Ravinia Park. 1t has
been declared by the critics of
Chicago and other large Cities to
stand alone in its class. The
Band is composed of so genuine
artists, all under the masterly di-
rection of Taddoo di Girolamo,
and there are in the company sey-
eral solo players whose like can
not be found the world over. This
noted band will appear at the Lo-
gan Opera House on Wednesday
afternoon and night, January 18,
under auspices of the Logan In
proyement Society.

A Good Time at the Inaugu-
ration OF Governor Harmon.

Columbus, o. Dec. 28.-A little
matter like precedent has no in
fuence on the Hon. Judson Har.
mon. When the reception COM
mittee of the Columbus Board of
Trade, in charge of the inaugural
reception on the evening of Jan
uary IL, came to make up its pro-
gram it was necessary to adopt a
formula Of procedure. 1t was de-
cided to follow the precedent that
obtains with reference to inaugural
receptions at the White House,
in Washington. There the new
president is the whole thing. The
vice.pre. ident that came in with
him merely passes through the
line at the head of the senate.
The old president has nothing to
do with the matter.
Judson Harmon did not like
that. He and Governor Harris
have been personal friends for
years. SO he took matters In his
own hands and inyited Governor
and Mrs. Harris to attend the Of.
fc.l reception with him and Mrs.
Harmon, and be one of his party
in the receiving line. This inyi-
tation has been accepted. So peo-
pie who come to Columbus on
inauguration day will have an
opportunity to meet and greet
both the incoming and the out
going governor.
Judge Harmon did not like the
arrangement that subordinated
the lieutenant governor, also. He
took that in his own hands, too,
and the incoming lieutenant-goy-
ernor, Francis w. Treadway, to
detatch himself from the senatorial
party and take his place in the
receiving line.
The inaugural demonstration is
non partisan and this carries out
idea fully.
The big senatorial contest is 60
ing to attract lot of people to
Columbus, also. The contest will
still be on when the Inauguration
crowd of 100000 is in Columbus.
Chairman l.. H. Gibson, Sscre-
tary Raper and c. s. Bash, of the
Press Committee, personally visit
ed all of the senatorial candidates,
their managers and others connect
with their campaigns and invited
them to take part In the press

Shot Down a Policeman.

--Patrolman Harry Campbell, a
substitute operator at police head
quarters, was shot and killed to-
night by Harry billiards, brake
man on the Hooking Valley Rail
road. The officer met his death
in the line of duty, having been
called to billiards residence, where
he had been passing away his
time abusing his family.
About 6 o'clock married sister
of billiards came rushing into po-
lice headquarte and requested
the service Of an cllicer, claiming
that her brother was beating their
mother, aud had been acting mean
all afternoon. Officer Campbell,
who was changing his clothes for
duty, was assigned to accompany
the woman to the house, 1903 West
Rich street. On the way he was
told to be cautious, as llillia rds's
disposition was such that he might
attempt violence. The dead oIli
Ger replied that he would take
cure of himself IN that event, and
proceeded on the way until the
house was reached.
billiards was standing in the
front yard with a shotgun under
his arm. Campbell d not hesi-
tate and started to enter the prem
ises to arrest billiards. No
sooner had he got inside the gate
when billiards raised his gun and
fired. The charge took effect in
Campbell's heart, and he fell to
the ground without a murmur.
Campbell was taken to nearby
| grocery, and before an ambulance
arrived he expired. Officers were
at once dispatched from Central
Station, which is about block
away, to capture the murderer.
They found him without any
trouble, and he was brought in.
, billiards acknowledged the deed.
He gave no particular reason 9TH
er than he did not propose to al
low any policeman to arrest him.
His mother and u woman neigh
Dor both say that billiards said
that if an officer came for him he
would not be taken alive, and fol-
lowed the threat by leaving the
house with gun. billiards is but
10 years of age.
Officer Campbell was 81 years of
age, and had been connected with
the force for number of years.
This is the second headquarters
man who has met death in the line
of duty in the past three years.
Two years ago last June Detec-
tive Dan Davis was shot and killed
by burglar who was caught in
the act of robblng the home of
Horace L. Chapman. For this
Frank Castor was electrocuted.
Castor always claimed that the
shooting was done by his pal, Mike
Murray, who was never appre-
hended.
Campbell had just returned
from a shopping tour with mem
bers of his family, and had pre-
pared for merry Christmas, hav-
ing purchased number of pres
ents while on his rounds of the
stores. He leaves wife and one
boy.

ing his appointments. He receives and
looks over each application or indorse-

ideas concerning some of the appoint
ments to be made, but is keeping his
own counsel.
Some time ago the Governor received

Governor received letter from the
applicant, requesting that his name and

that when he first made the application

Snow Hill Farmers Should

about the cultivation Of the strawberry,
with view Of engaging extensively in
the business Of growing these berries
The MESSENGER called attention last
Fall to the large amount Of money made
by strawberry growers in and around
Selbyville, and at the time urged our
farmers TO put out patches, claiming
that our lands were as good for the
purpose as any in the country. Wor-
cester County farmers around Bishop
vile and Shovel are going deeper each
year into the small fruit business and
they are making money. There is plenty

days, as in days gone by, of Cutting

are bought and paid for by agents. who
stay at the railroad stations during the
berry season. They pay the cash down.
and the growers run no risk. The
agents load their berries in refrigerator
cars and ship them all over the country,
wherever the best price is obtainable.
Another method which has proven very
advantageous borrowers. is to sell their
patches to such men as W. jeff Station
of Salisbury, who furnishes fertilizer
and pays so much per quart for all mar
ketable berries delivered to the railroad.
