But Butler Kept Moving With Officer
Helm in Pursuit.

A colored man by the name of
Butler, from Union Bridge. created
some excitement on Saturday night at
the railroad station, when officer
Helm put under arrest a dusky dam
sci. Thereupon Butler interfered
with the officer, grabbing hold of his
African fiancee and saying, What you
want to rest dat lady fo' she hasn's
dom any sing" Here the officer
dropped the black woman and made
for Butler, and Pimlico handicap for
8 year-olds was pulled of down the
track toward Union Bridge. Officer
Helm, seeing the negro was feet-footed.
pulled his gun when ne was opposite
George street, and fired in the air,
with the hope of stopping Butler, but
oh no; that negro ran first section OF
the Owl train, which he was waiting to
take for Union Bridge, and arrived at
his destination about twenty minutes

Goodwin.

Mr.. Harry e. Goocwin, of Glyndon,
brother of Franklin P. Goodwin, OF
Reisterstown, died at st. Luke's Hos
pital, Baltimore, on Tuesday. Decem-
Der 28th. Death was due to pneu-
nlonia. He was stricken on Christmas
Eve and removed to the hospital on
Christmas day.
Mr. Goodwin was a son OF the late
Daniel P. and Margaret E. Good
win, and was born on the farm which
they owned, near Westminster, forty
years ago. The family afterwards
removed to Westminster, where they
lived for a short while, going later
to make their home in Reisterstown.
He took up the study of law and grad
uated from the University of Maryland
about nine years ago; since then he
has had his office in the Calvert Build
ing, his practice being confined to the
City and Baltimore county. He rep
resented Baltimore county for two
terms in the Legislature with cons1d-
cradle credit, and his death has caus-
ed much sympathy among his many
friends. He was member of several
fraternal orders, among which were
the Masons, Knights of Pythias and
Junior Order.
Messrs. Charles E. and Price Good
win, of Westminster, are his cousins
and one of his sisters married Mr.
Wesley Zepp, whose tragic death, a
few years ago, we all recall. She is

pital in Baltimore.
Funeral services were held at his
brothers in Baltimore on Wednesday
evening, and the corpse brought to
Westminster on Thursday morning
and inferred in the Westminster cem-
etery.

Ed.-The letter of Mr.. Bright, which
caused this answer of Messrs. Bond
& Parke, was also sent to the ADJ
vocate. Knowing these gentlemen
and Mr.. Reifsnider, and their previous
lives having been such as to lead us
to believe that they could not be
guilty of breach of faith, we nat
urally refused to publish it, and so
wrote Mr.. Bright, stating that 1t had
been characterized by Mr.. Reifsnider
as unqualifedly false" The Advo-
Gates policy is not to engage in per-
sonal controversies, and never to pub
lish any matter, the truth of which
might be questioned Mr.. Bright has
not lived in the county sufficiently
long, and his reputation is not such,
as to enable US to take his word
against that of men. whose families
we have known for generations.

They INJURE CHILDREN
Ordinary CathartIcs and Pills and
Harsh Physic Cause Distressing
COMPLAINTS.

You cannot be over careful in the
selection of medicine for children.
Only the very gentlest bowel medicine
should ever be given, except in emer-
gency cases. Ordinary pills, cathartics
and purgatives are apt to do more harm
than good. They cause gripping, nausea
and other distressing after effects that
are frequently health destroying and a
life lasting annoyance.
We personally recommend and guar
antee Rexall Orderlies as the safest and
most dependable remedy for cOnst1pa-
ton and associate bowel disorders. We
have such absolute faith in the virtues
of this remedy that we sell it on our
guarantee of money back in every in
stance where it fails to give entire
satisfaction, and we urge all in need Of
such medicine to try it at our risk.
Rexall Orderlies contain entirely new
ingredients which are odorless, tasteless
and coIorless. AS an actite agent, it
embraces the valuable qualities Of the
best known intestinal regulator tonicS.
Rexall Orderlies are eaten like candy.
They are particularly prompt and agree
able in action, may be taken at any
time, day or night; do not cause
diarrhoea, nausea, gripping, excessive
looseness or other undesirable effects,
They have a very natural action upon
the glands and organs with which they
come in contact, act as positive and
regulative tonic upon the relaxed mus
cular coat of the bowel and its dry
mucous lining; remove irritation over
come weakness, tone and strengthen the
nerves and muscles, and restore the
bowels and associate organs to more
vigorous and healty activity.
RexaII Orderlies completely relieve
consultation. except when Of a surgical
character. They also tend to overcome
the necessity of constantly taking la1a-
tives to keep the bowels in normal con-
dition.
There is really no medicine for this
purpose as Rexall Orderlies, especially
for children, aged and delicate persons.
They are prepared in tablet form, in
two sizes of packages: - tablets 10
cents, and SO tablets % cents. Remem

More Burdens for Tax Payers.

Providence Journal, Rep: How fool
ish it is, too, to advocate ship subsidies
for the expansion Of American trade at
time when a tariff designed to restrict
trade is in operation! How foolish to
urge spending millions in this futile eff
fort at a time when the need for care IN
public expenditures is SO obvious! The
president is less frank in this instance
than he was when he confessed that
subsidies would impose a burden on
the taxpayer for the benefit of a few
favored interests. The only logical ar
gument in their behalf is that OF one
class is getting such favOrs another
class ought to get them. But, at time
when disgust with the whole system Of
favortism is uppermost, it is not an
argument likely to appeal to any large
body Of voters. 1t may be doubted If
even the influence Of the White house
will avail to push a subsidy bill through
congress at the present session.

Gambling is one of the worst vices
