Book companionship.

Books are guide in youth and an
entertainment for age. They support
us under solitude and keep us from
being burden to ourselves. They
help us to forget the crossness of men

NJ HENRY STORE AND
POSTOFFICE LOOTED
Thieves Entered Building, Blew Safe,
Secured Money and IeweIrY, Escaped

The store of Brenneman Bros, in
which is also located the postoffice at
McHenry, this county, was entered by
side door last Friday night by thieves
and robbed of about S75 in cash, postage
stamps amounting to $40, jewelry,
knives and razors and after blowing the
safe and almost wrecking the depart
ment in which the postoffice waslocated,
made their escape through the front
door of the building.
The proprietors Of the store estimate
their loss, including damage to property,
at $3.50. When the door of the heavy
iron safe was blown from its Hastings it
dropped to the floor and broke a great
hole through it, besides smashing out a
number Of windows and damaging coun-
ters and shelving.
Sheriff Shartzer and deputies, as soon
as they were made acquainted with
what had occurred, secured bloodhounds
from Fairmont and on Saturday after
noon went to McHenry where the ami
mails were put to work upon the trail
and followed it to Kendall where they
arrived q number of hours after and
there lost the scent. 1t is believed that
the parties implicated in the robbery
reside not far from the scene Of the
crime.

FIRE AT MOUNTAIN LAKE PARK.
The Rev. J. b. Young Cottage Entirely
Consumed By Fire Yesterday.

The Young cottage, in the extreme
southwestern section of the Park and
near the railroad was entirely destroyed
by fire yesterday. The fire was started
by spark from the fiue igniting the
shingles on the roof, and because of the
extreme dryness of the material the
blaze made such rapid progress that
the house was enveloped with the de-
vouring flames before anything could be
done to check them. The cottage had
been occupied by Mrs. Mann and son
and daughter only few days, and they
lost most of their household goods and
clothing.
The cottage was the property of Rev.
j. B. Young, D. D., and is an entire
loss the insurance having lapsed a short
time ago.

Maryland since the election of the ex-
ecutive was placed in the hands of the
people Is years ago.
Governor Crothers has used his "big
stick" in compelling his party to respect
its pledges, and in doing so he aroused
the criticism of the strict adherents of
constitutional form. He has stirred up
the anger of those who hold to the idea
that the government is divided into
three PARASITIC legislative, executive
and judicial-that each department is
separate from the other, and that there
should be no interference by one with
the other. The Governor is accused of
using the big stick" on the legislature
just as President Roosevelt used it on
Congress. The average man likes re
suits. He likes men who edo things,
who translate their words into deeds
Hence, the applause for the Governor
within his own party.
The Governor has made possible the
creation Of powerful political machine
by adding new parts to 1T. He has
gained complete control of the state
road commission by consolidating with
it the road department, of the State
Geological Survey. By the appoint
mento of another commissioner: he can
disturb the equal balance heretofore ex-
listing in the road commission. He has
proceeded on the theory that as his ID
ministration will be held responsible FOR
road building, he will assume full au-
thority and power.
The Public Utilities Commission can
be made most powerful political ma
chine. 1t is now too late to bewail the
the fact that such an undesirable factor
in politics and business should haye been
forced upon the state. The, fact is the
power to name the COMMISSIONERS been
placed in the Governors hands, aad it
is up to him by naming proper men to
say whether the law for which he and
Attorney General Straus9'areTprimarily
responsible shall be at least tolerant or
a failure. Already'scores. oflnames for
the commission are being brought for
ward. and while it would seem that the
Governor has abundant material from
which to select, as a matter fact
when he looks over the name Of the
men suggested he will find but ew who
will be completely equipped jtor the i'm
portant duties to deyolve upon Their.
At least this will be the case if he deter
mines to be guided by a sincere desire
to name a commission which will be
fair to the pubHc5and whichsswill not at
the same time prosecute corporations.
The Governor will have other az
pointments to make. including the
motor-vehicie commission. He has yet
to assign the police justices and to fill
two judicial vacancies
In fact there are busy times ahead,
and his troubles are not over, even
though the legislature is off his hands.
