Dog Goes Mad.

On edneSudy Oh last week silldll
dog belonging to Mr.. Chas. Eyler, Water
street, this place, was supposed to have
gone mad. He created considerable eX
citement among residents living in the
locality and along the public road leading
from Thurmont to Jimtown, Lewistown
and other towns Walkersvlle being the
last place from which he was reported
The dog, according to reports, was bit
ten by supposed mad dog which passed
this way several weeks ago. He was
kept tied for nine days during which time
he showed no sign of rabies and was let
run.
He bit number of dogs last Wednes-
day morning and made good his escape to
the country Word was telephoned to
Jimtown that he was headed that way.
Mr.. James Grouse got his double bar
rel gun ready and waited for his arrival.
The dog arrived in due time, uncle jim
saw him, didn't think him mad nor the
dog that was reported mad and did not
modest him.
Like other cases of mad dog, many re-
ports were received here Of the damage
be has done. The Frederick Daily News
of last Thursday reports the following:
"A dog, supposed to have been mad,
created some alarm among residents east
of this city, along the Baltimore turnpike,
yesterday afternoon. The dog, which
was spotted, leather-colored animal,
and very lean, made its appearance at
Schleysvlle and bit dog belonging to
Mr.. George Schroyer, and two belonging
to Mr.. Charles Main. 1t then ran down
the Baltimore turnpike and on its way
bit dog belonging to Mr.. Thomas Ogle,
two belonging to Mr. Charles thinner
man, dogs belonging to Messrs Benjamin
Mossburg, Edward Biggs, James Muir
ply and two belonging to George Roel-
key at the toll gate-eleven in all.
when near the toll gate the dog was
shot at by some one, and turned its course
running back toward Schleysvlle, and
then west in the direction of Groves Lime
Kilns.
ut was learned this morning that the
dog had been shotlast night, near Riehl' S
Mills, by son of Mrs. Polly Perkins,
after it had bitten several dogs in that
neighborhood
1.-THE county health officer, DR.. Charles
F. Goodell, made an investigation this
morning, and found that all the dogs
which had been bitten had been killed
and buried
In recent conversation with DR.. Good
ell, he said he thinks that this WI S one
and the same dog which left Thurmont.
He does not recognize the nine day the
DRY and says all dogs coming in contact
with mad dog should be killed.
As we are now in the warm season per-
sons should be extremely careful with
their dogs, especially so when the little
child is left in care of the dog.

or the life of member of your family

Congress Will Make the Ceremonies
Attending the Inauguration of Presi-
dent Taft and Vice-President Sher-
man Solemn and Dignified.

Washington, ID. C.-The Joint COM
mittee Of the two houses of Congress
purpose to make the ceremonies at
tending the actual Inauguration of
President Taft and Vice-PreSident
Sherman as solemn and dignified as
befits so important an event. Joy
and music and the spirit of festivity
Will mark the inaugural parade, and
the scenes along the streets will be
as brilliant as ever, but in the Capitol
and on the inaugural stand erected on
its east front solemnity and dignity
will dominate. The details are al
ready perfected, and every official,
every emplOye understands the part
he is to play.
The Senate will complete the work
OF the last session of the SiXtieth
Congress about 1870 a. m. on March
4, and will then take a recess so that
the scenery may be set for the i'm
portant act in the great drama of the
Republic so soon to take place.
Shortly before noon the Vice-Presi-
dent will call the Senate to order.
The Secretary of the Senate will an
nounce the arrival Of the Speaker and
the House of Representatives, and
they Will file into the Senate Cham
Der and take the places assigned to
them. Next in order will come the
Supreme Court of the United States,
headed by Chief Justice Fuller, and
then the ambassadors and ministers
plenipotentiary of the foreign nations.
Following the heads of the diplomatic
corps will come the heads of the eX-
ecutive departments, who will take
their places Immediately back of the
seats assigned to the chief figures in
the drama.
Following the Cabinet the Vice
President-elect will be formally an
jnounced, and will enter, accompanied
by his escort, Senator Frye, president
pro tempore of the Senate, and Rep
resentative Young. The President
elect will be the next announcement,
and William II. Taft, accompanied by
Senator'S Knox and Lodge, will enter,
and, finally, the President of the
United States will enter alone. At
each announcement the entire assem-
blage will rise and remain standing
until the person SO announced is
seated.
When all the dignitaries have ar
rived, the Vice-President will deliver
his valedictory and will then call to
the rostrum James S. Sherman, to
whom he will administer the oath OF
the Vice-President of the United
States, after which he will declare the
Senate adjourned without day. Hav-
ing been sworn, Mr.. Sherman will as
cend the rostrum, and, taking the
gavel, will call the Senate to order
for the new session, and will ask that
new members of the Senate come
forward and take the oath OF office.

Maxim
Gun and Breaks Down the Vibrations From the Explosion
Until the Ear Longer Recognizes

New York City. - Patents having
been obtained on il in twenty-four
countries, Hiram Percy Maxim gave
demonstration and explanation of
his silencing device for rifles before a
large number of representatives of
newspapers and scientific publica-
tions. BY the use of a sandbox tar
get the inventor made series of ex-
periments by firing a variety of rifles,
ranging in power from .22 calibre
up to the new Springfield 80 calibre
military rifle. They were fired both
with and without the "silencer," and
the spectators--or perhaps it might
be better to say auditors-marvell
at the effect OF the little device. II
is said scientific tests show that nine
ty per cent. of the noise Of explosion
Is eliminated.
