Since our last issue many things have
happened in our midst, all Of which have
created more or less excitement and
brought many persons from the country
and nearby towns to Thurmont.
Thursday morning last the unexpected
arrival of about 400 u. S. soldiers from
Fort Myer, Va, caused stir among
young and old. These troops camped at
the Fair Grounds at Frederick, Wednes-
day night, and expected to camp Thurs
day night at Middleburg, Carroll county,
but owing to the heavy rains and condi-
ton of the roads, had to abandon that
route. They arrived here about 10 o clock
and camped on Col. John K. Rouzer S
field along the creek south of town.
During ,he evening hnnd' eds of people
visited the camp.
While the soldiers We're attracting at
tention in one part of the town the large
new "Rapid' automobile was receiving
its share of attention at the shop of Mr..
Vincent O'Tooe where it was being made
ready for service. Notice was given that
after go, Thursday evening, anyone
wishing To do so could take IA ride in the
Auto for 5 cents. Everybody wanted to
go, and the car was kept busy until dark.
The car is in charge Of Mr.. John O'Toole
and has been patronized very lberally.
1t has made hit, and has come to stay,

game could not be finished on account of
thunder storm. that broke over this
sectiLn.

Saturday afternoon Memorial services
were held, an account of which is given
elsewhere.
The festival held by the Moravian Sun

being crowded during the entire even
ing. We understand the receipts of the

Had to Change Route.

The U. S. troops which camped at the
fair grounds Wednesday night, and ex
pected to camp Thursday night at Mid
dleburg, were compelled to change their
route and 60 via Emmitsburg, owing to
the rain and heavy roads and the great
weight of artillery they had to convey.
Lieut.. Miles telephoned the fact to Mr..
E. o. Cash. Mr.. Cash had prepared to
furnish them grain and hay for their
horses, but as these are not perishable
he will not suffer. John Bowman, baker
at Middeburg, had baked about 37(
loaves of bread and d. Fred. Englar, OF
Union Bridge, had intended to furnish
them with several hundred pounds oi

TIIl'ItMONT.

Rolling hills and Blue Ridge mountain
Rim the beauty of thy scene,
With streams and rushing fountains;
And broad fields of waving green,
Where the birds are gaily singing,
With the flowers in vernal bloom,
And the church bells loudly ringing
To dspell all eal thly gloom.
There the eagles soar in glory,
Round the distant crags afar,
TO wing the old, old story,
OF the heavenly gates ajar,
Where Freedom ever fingers
With sweet loyalty so true,
And points with rosy fingers,
To the "Boys who wore the Blue!'
The old grand and lofty ridges,
Where brave Liberty abides,
And the morning sunlight bridges,
Down the years of time and tides,
All truth and love and honor
Shall prevail for evermore,
Until our Starry Banner,
Shines on yon celestial shore.
And thy glorious sons and daughters,
Are the pride of Maryland,
AS pure as the bright waters,
OF thy mountain cliffs SO grand,
Where faith and love co-mingle,
To entrance the sylvan scene,
And life blood with its tingle,
Thrills thy everlasting green.

Col. John A. Joyce, of Washington, d.

was inspired to write the following poem:

Man Supposed To BE Insane Sent II
NlOnteyue. But Receivers Senses.

MOnteyue. But Receivers Senses.
Seeing a man walking, barefooted and
clad only in suit of undertaking, out
w. Fourth street, early Sunday morning,
Mr.. Reverdy Dronenburg reported the
matter to the police headquarters and,
in company with Policeman Herwig and
Constable Carter, followed the man out
the road with a horse and vehicle. When
the man was overtaken he seemed de-
mented, and harangued the officers as
though preaching. He was gotten into
the vehicle and brought to town, where
a commitment to Montevue was secured
from Justice c. H. Eckstein, and the
man was taken out to the hospital.
At Montevue the man was Judged by
the attendants to be insane. He could
give no account of himself, and from an
inclination to get down on his knees and
pray it was supposed that he was suffer-
ing from some form of religious mania.
Later in the day, however, he suddenly
came to his senses. He explained that
his name was Frank Hubbard that he
was piano salesman and tuner and form
erly lived in Baltimore, but lately had
been making his headquarters at Walk
ersville. He had been drinking for three
days, he said, and spent Friday night at
Taneytown, Md, and on Saturday came
to Frederick, where he registered at the
Arlington Hotel.
While Hubbard could not give a clear
account of his later movements, it is un.
derstood that he was out on Saturday
night, and was drinking heavily. He ex-
pressed the opinion that he had been
drugged. He remained at the hospital
last night, but Monday morning, as he
appeared entirely rational, he was allow
ed to leave.-NeaUs.
IA man by that name was in Thurmont
recently tuning pianos. From what We
learn he could scarcely became intoxicat-
ed with the sweet tones from the pianos
he tuned. ED.

Col McCarty's Building Blocks.
Col. W. F. M. McCarty, of Rocky
Ridge and New York, has recently per-
fected a process by which he faces con-
crete blocks with water and fire proof
substance closely initiating marble, onyx
or other beautiful stones. When finish
ed they are cheaper than lumber or brick
and have been approved by the New
York Society of Architects. Beside this
invention the Colonel's ingenuity has dis
covered method of making perfect
yet cheap imitation of Holland tile, now
so much used in modern buildings.

DRIVER CARELESS;
FINE HORSE SHOT
ANIMAL VALUED AT $500, BE-
LONGING TO HENRY JOHNSON,
HAD TO BE KILLED THIS
MORNING FOLLOWING AccI-
DENT ON FRONT STREET.

One of a flre team Of horses, be-
longing to Henry johnson Of the Fargo
Brick Co., had to be shot this morning
as a result of it's breaking its leg on
Front street near the intersection Of
Eighth street Mr.. Johnson valued the
animal at 5000 and considered his loss
wholly due to the carelessness of his
driver who failed to use common judg-
ment in a very ordinary emergency
The team attached to load OF bricks
which was being taken to Fargo, SHE'D
at a passing street car. One horse
lost its footing and continued to slip,
but instead of the driver stopping to
allow the team to right itself the man
urged them on to such an extent that
one fell down and in some way struck
the off hind leg of the other one,
breaking 1t to splinters just above the
foot The injured animal was later ex-
amined by a veterinary surgeon who
decided that the break was an incur
able one and that the horse must be
shot at once as it was suffering in
tensely. officer Knapp secured the
services Of a good shot who put a bull
let into it's brain at the first firing.
he driver was severely criticised for
being too near the trolley track when
there was plenty of room and to spare
in another part of the street.

NORMAL SCHOOL SERIES
Charles w. Seymour Will Begin Course
of Historical Lectures at Normal
School N 1xt Tuesday.

Beginning next Tuesday morning, at
10 o'clock, a notable series Of lectures
will be given at the normal school.
Charles w. Seymour, historical lectur-
err. will deliver three addresses on three
notable characters in universal his
tory. The exact choice has not yet
been determined, but may fall upon
some three of the following: Pericles,
Lady Jane Grey, Sir Walter Raleigh,
Father Marquette, Thomas A. Beckett,
Marie Antoinette. In any case the
character discussed will be one who
has played a prominent part in the
annals OF the world. The lectures will
be free to the public of Moorhead and
Fargo, the normal school bearing the
expense of bringing Mr.. Seymour to
this community, because of the Spirit
ual uplift that he invariably brings to
every community that he addresses. A
few years ago he was engaged to de-
liver three lectures before the Duluth
high school So we'll was he liked,
that the board of education engaged
him for series of twelve lectures the
next year, and still again the year fol-
lowing. Thus is he welcomed and re-
welcomed wherever he goes.
