Prohibition Candidate.

On Monday of this week we received a
marked copy of The Free Methodist, the
official paper of the Free Methodist
church, published in Chicago. The article
to which our attention is called is as fol-
lows:
Brother H. L. X. Stokes, the valued
foreman of THE FREE METHODIST office,
has been nominated as a candidate for
the legislature on the Prohibition ticket,
from the second legislative district
While we would be sorry to lose Brother
Stokes from our printing department,
we would be glad to have him in the leg
islature for we believe he could teach
some of those wise men at Springfield
some things they ought to know about
the liquor business. He will doubtless
do credit to himself and do honor to our
church if he gets seat in the capitol
building. He will not resign his present
position until after the election, however,
as he may fail to get enough votes to
land him in Springfield
Mr.. Stokes formerly was citizen of
Thurmont and was member of staunch
republican family. But changes come in
the life of almost every one. While the
writer would be pleased to hear that he
was successful in this race, yet he fears
the result may be the same as that of a
foot race run in Chicago many years ago.
Hope to hear results in this week issue.

Local Option Makes Good Showing.

The Anti-Saloon League of Maryland
in it's official paper, the american Is
sue," of this week has analysed the cleo
ton returns and declares that they con-
stitute convincing demonstration that
the local option issue is growing in popu-
larity. The election of Mr.. Eldridge, the
only man who, by clear declaration for
the local option bill, gave the people of
Baltimore a chance to say whether or
not they want self-government on the
saloon question, explodes the objection
that the people of Baltimore are opposed
to the bill And the wet" vote in
Washington county shows that the mere
passage of the bill does not mean prohi-
bition unless the people are ready for it.
The League points out that while Mr..
Dawkins was not defeated, he not only
lost his own ward but was the lowest
man on his ticket in his home ward and
was only saved from defeat by the 10th
ward, his total plurality being only lit
tie over 600 against 5000 two years ago.
The Republican candidates who declar-
ed for local option ran well ahead of their
ticket in Baltimore county, one of them
coming within 37l votes of election. In
Anne Arundel county the Republican
candidate for the Senate who declared
for local option was beaten by 1856 where
as other Democratic candidates won by
about 1900. In Hartford county Senator
Baker was beaten by only SO votes while
the rest of his ticket with one exception
was beaten by from 600 to 900. In the
same county, DR.. Jarrett, the Democrat
ic candidate for the House Endorsed by
the League, ran 200 votes ahead of the
other Democrats elected to the Legisla-
ture. In Talbot county, where every
body was pledged to the bill, all the
Democrats were elected except one man
who did not declare himself until the
! fight on him had begun. In Cecil county
! the Democratic candidate for the Senate
who made no statement was elected by
Is votes, whereas the Democratic candi.
dates for the House who declared for the
bill won by over 200. In Carroll county
the League published three of the -four
Republicans as satisfactory. One OF
them who is reported to have subsequent.
ly denied that he made any pledge, was
defeated by a Democrat who had pledged
his friends. The other two Republicans
were elected.
The League declares that generally
over the State wherever the issue wal
clear the men who came out boldly fo
the local option bill ran ahead of theil
ticket and the opponents of the bill raj
behind.

to me that this fruit, barring the large
seeds, must be species of the banana.

g. Nav Seine G. and o. Canal.

1t is understood that the United States
Government will undertake to seine the
Chesapeake and Ohio canal next month,
when the water is drawn off for the
winter, provided no objection is raised
by Colonel Nicholson, manager and su-
perintendent of the canal.
Sportsmen say that thousands OF black
bass ranging in size from two to three
inches in length to two pounds in weight
can be returned to the Potomac if per-
sons of authority are on hand when the
water is drawn off to protect the fish.
If the Government will do the seinoing,
it is proposed to guard the pools aud deep
places where the fish congregate and to
replace them in the river. 1t is estimat-
ed that about 100000 fish can in this
way be returned to the river. Some
years ago when the water was drawn off
thousands of small bass and other fish
were captured or destroyed by persons
living along the canal.

FORD'S GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

Week Nov. 18th, 1.-THE play that made
all New York talk" Charles Frohman
presents Hattie Williams in Michael
Morton's comedy drama triumph,
DETECTIVE SPARKS,
company and production seen during
three months run at the Garrick Theatre
New York.
The dashing comedienne, Hattie Will
Jams, has made one Of the greatest hits
of the current Metropolitan season as
the heroine of Michael Morton's detect
i've comedy detective Sparks direct
from three months run at the Garrick
Theatre. The titlei is mysterious because
nowhere on the programme is to be found
the name of Detective Sparks, and not
until the very end of the thrilling and
delightful four act comedy does the
audience realize just who Detective
Sparks is.
The New York success was phenOme-
nal, and the run was only interrupted
owing to previous contracts for other
plays at the Garrick. Detective Sparks
is a straight comedy full of merry Incl
dent and adventure and the display OF
the vivacity of the popular star and her
splendid company.
The scenes are laid in the "classiest'
of the English upper class life and are
filled with absorbing interest, amusing
complications and the dramatic incidents
follow pel-mell upon each other with the
rapidity and graphicness of so many
moving pictures. The company is rep
resentative including Julian Royce, Ed
win Nicander, Vira Stowe, Anne Mered
it'll, William Postance, Vida Crowley
Sidney, and many other well known co
medians. The production will be exactl.
as given so long at the Garrick and will
be under the personal direction of Mr.
Charles Frohman.

Barn Belonging to Miss Cecilia Zim-
norman Burns.
The large barn on the farm of Miss
Cecilia Zimmerman, located about a mile
and half northeast of Mt. Pleasant,
tenanted by Mr.. Charles Harbaugh, was
destroyed by fire Sunday afternoon be-
tween four and five o'clock.
The fire, which is thought to have been
of incendiary origin, started in the fod-
Ter rick, adjoining the barn. Mr.. Har-
baueh ard his family had been at church
and were driving into the lane leading
to the house when they noticed smoke
coming from the fodder rick. All the
livestock, farming implements, machin-
cry, harness, etc, were gotten out OF
the barn and large quantity of corn
was saved.
About 400 bushels of wheat, about rs
barrels of corn, the hay crop, fodder and
straw, were destroyed.
The loss is estimated to be between
81, 900 and So. 900, and is covered by in
surance.

Topeka, Kan, April 24.-Four per-

were seriously injured in a fire that
destroyed the Central hotel here early
today. The hotel, which was a two
story brick structure, was situated on
Kansas avenue, between Fifth and
Sixth streets, in the business district.
The fire started at o'clock, evil
dently from crossed electric wires. By
the time the firemen arrived it was
impossible to save the building, and
they devoted their attention princi-
pally to saving surrounding property.
The dead:

found
Today's fire was the second serious
hotel fire in Topeka in three months.
