Carroll Election Supervisors.

The Republican party of this county
has been without representation on
the board of election supervisors of
this county since the expiration of the
term of Charles H. Smith, last winter,
the Governor having failed to appoint
his successor. An effort is now be-
ing made to have the vacancy filled,
and the members of the Republican
State Central Committee have sub
mitted four names to Governor Croth-
ers from among whom to make Sc
lection. Those recommended are
Charles H. Smith, of Mt. Airy; Will
liam Wood, of Union Bridge; R. Wes-
ley Barnes, of Gambler; J. Thomas
Harris, of Freedom district, and Harry
K. Shaeffer, of Westminster.

Westminster into one of the most fer

Westminster into one of the most fer
tile sections of Maryland.
Then, too, the nature lover has no
need to suffer the oppressive city at
mosphere that is put upon the fronts
of the Main street houses, for he may
settle off on some of the more rural
thoroughfares.
Of these the main one, in point of
length, Is Green street. The name is
suggestive of the thoroughfare-as
much so as the the name Of Main
street is for It's respective avenue.
Green street is more like country
driveway than a street. In parts its
sidewalks are gravel roadways; but
farther westward it boasts improved
pavements.
But on Green street there is coun-
try-a sort of meteing between city
and country. Green peas and parsley
and tomato vines poke their noses up
close to the sidewalks, as If moved by
curiosity to behold the city that Is so
close to them. The houses lounge
back from the street, hidden among
trees and shrubbery.
And from the pavements the pic
turesque hills of Carroll county are
seen spreading out their beauties to
any and all who do not hide behind
the brick walls of Main street.
This Is all in the old toWn-in the
eastern portion; but across the rail-
road there is the newer town, which is
less pronounced in it's architecture,
and which has the university on it's
crowning summit.
Although Westminster is widely
known as the home Of Western Mary
land College, it is by no means uni
versity town. The college keeps well
| to itself, and the residents follow
suit.
Not that there is any unSociability,
for the people of Westminster are fire.
quently the guests, at public perform
ances, of Western Maryland College.
But the students, when they go on the
streets of Westminster, are just ordi-
nary persons. They wear no gowns or
insignia of their school land moreover,
they do not go upon the streets of the
city as much as might be the case in
school of less discipline.
There is, of course, more than a
little local pride in the college of West
minister, for its people were respon-
sible for it's founding. 1t was in 1860
that an academy was started in the
Carroll county town. Six years later
a movement was made to transform it
into a college, and the initial step was
made possible by the generosity Of
two residents of Westminster.
The building, which is now part of
the main hall, was then begun; but
the support accorded the enterprise
was not sufficient, and it threatened
to go upon the rocks. At this time,
1867, the conference of the Methodist
Protestant Church came to the aid of
the school and under the auspices of this
church body the college has been built
from an institution with 6 instructors
to one with %, while the total num-

land College numbers nearly 700.
The college was started upon the
grounds, which was more or less dis
tinctly marked from the city, but its
constant growth necessitated cross
ing of the old college territory, and the
most pretentious building ofWestern
Maryland College-the new alumni
hall-occupies a fine position just
outside the grounds, at the head OF
West Main street.
The entrance to the college grounds
has been beautified by the erection OF
the Ward memorial gateway.

BASE BALL.

The Snydersburg Base Ball club
struck a snag instead of what they
thought would be an easy mark on
Ascension Day while playing the
Cranberry Club here. The spiders
came a happy bunch, as though they
were violets, full of confidence of win
ming, but 10 and behold, were defeated
OH tip top oval by a score of IL to 4.
In the first inning it looked as if the
spiders were real ball players, scoring
three runs and the Berrys none. 1t
looked to them as if the game had al
ready been won. But matters were
fixed when the Berrys took hold of the
stick again. They added to their score
| in each succeeding inning by ones,
twos and threes, hitting the ball at
WILL and shutting out the visitors in
one, two, three order. Don't count
your easy marks hereafter until you
have them made, as boasting and dis
putting the umpire's decision does not
count very much while playing ball,
but smashing the leather to all parts
of the diamond, such as the Berrys
did, foreshadows victory. Good judg-
ment and even temper are two very
good points for winning.
The Taylorsville Base Ball team
added another victory to their list by
defeating the New Windsor Juniors
by a score of 10 to g. At the end of
the ninth inning the score stood to
l9. With New Windsor facing the
tenth inning, Barnes, with his steady
and calm nerve, did justice to the first
three batters who faced him, and

MAN WHO SET TRAP
IN HIS TRUNK is FREE.

SEATTLE, Jan. .21.-After two trials
and a stay of sixteen months in the
King county Jail Eugenio Bastianello.
the man who set the trunk trap that
resulted in the death of Mrs. Emma
Daley, his landlady, who had opened
the trunk to get a look at the con-
tents. has been discharged from
custody and the criminal case against
him was dismissed by Judge Frater OF
motion of the prosecuting attorney.
Bastiarel!o had a concertina that he
brought from Italy and which he valued
highly. Afraid of marauders he locked
it in his trunk and contrived an inge
NOUS trap, whereby any one who
opened the trunk would receive the
contents of revolver.
Bastiar.ello was twice tried and was
convicted the last time. On appeal to
the supreme court that body ruled that
an Interpretation the trial court had
made of the case of the state against

the supreme courts ruling it was
stated to the court yesterday, that no

owing to the poor movement of flour
the mills ard warehouses are now full
and many of the small mills are
closing until the flour market improves
and some of the surplus is cleaned up.
While estimates as to the precise
amount of wheat that has been sold
and moved this year in Eastern Wash
ington and Idaho differ somewhat, be-
tween IS and 80 per cert of the crop
has already been contracted for and
from SO to 60 per cent. moved to coast
terminals. or has been ground at inte-
rior mills. Grain men estimate that
there are at least 2O,OOO,0OO bushels of
wheat to come out before the next
crop becomes marketable. Most of the
territory along the Columbia river has
been cleaned up, and wheat near the
large shipping points on the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific and O..
r. & N is out of the way. but there
are sections situated some distance
back. where the movement has hardly
started and will not until settled
weather in the spring. It is estimated
also that approximately 100000 bush
els will be needed for seeding purposes.
Locally there is little activity. Orders
are not coming in from the Orient as
fast as was expected. Financial troubles
in Japan and China, are credited with
being responsible for the dizziness.
