Wilton, Aug. 2j--Jacob Skeels, one
of our well known northern Burleigh
county farmers, had a narrow escape
from death a few days ago when he
took a poison tablet which, through
mistake, had been put in a box with
some headache tablets. Mr.. Skeels,
being quite a distance from physic-
ian, started to drink milk and warm
water and kept it up until the effects
of the poison was offset. He is now
alright, except that his stomach and
throat are somewhat burned.

Little ROLAND Weston, the four-year
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. w. D. Weston,
died Monday afternoon after untild
suffering for eleven days from the
burns received while playing with
matches. The little fellow had great
nerve and put up a desperate battle
to the last. The most severe of his
burns was across the bowels, though
he had many of a very serious nature.
The many friends of the Weston FAM
lily join in extending heartfelt SYM
pathy in the great bereavement. Bur-
ial was in Riverview Cemetery just
west of Wilton, on Tuesday forenoon,
Rev. Orr, of Bismarck, having charge
of the services. The remains were
followed to their last resting place by
a large concourse of friends.

THE BUSINESS SITUATION.

The agitation over the high cost of
living has spread with amazing rapidity
during the past week, and for the
moment it is the most discussed subject
under the sun. All sorts of collective
bodies, from labor unions to ladies' So
cial clubs, have become infected with
the craze, and the food reformer ranges
from the man in the corner grocery to
man on the stock exchange. Explana-
tions of the cause of the trouble recall
Nast's famous cartoon, wherein each
member forming the Tn eed ring points
his finger at his next neighbor in the
circle. James j. Hill, the veteran rail-
roader and philospher-in-general to
mankind, describes the movement as
hysteria which will soon pass away.
Others treat the Subject humorously,
while a committee of congress has
taken it up seriously, combining investi-
cations for the time being to the Dis
trict of Columbia.
Modern methods in commercial opera
tons are such, however, that move

GROUND HOG DAY.
Superstition Hath 1t That 1t May S,or m
or Shine for 40 Days.

Yesterday, known to classic weather
prognosticators as Candlemas Day, but
not recognized by the United States
Weather Bureau observers as having
more meteorological significance than
April l. nevertheless, with common
folk was Grounding Day.
According to quaint superstition the
day is indicative of the kind of weather
that will prevail for the next four or six
weeks. If the ground hog, said to be
peacefully slumbering in his burrow,
comes out and sees his shadow there
will be 40 days of bad weather. But if
Mr.. Hog does not see his shadow there
will follow an equal number of days of
good weather.
The sun shone bright yesterday,
hence the ground hog saw his shadow.

THE FARMER IN GARRETT COUNTY
Has No Tendency to Invest His Money
in "WildCat" Enterprises.

The Manufacturers Record of Balti-
more, inquiring of bankers and business
men in fourteen southern states regard
ing farming and the condition of bust
ness in those states, received the fol-
lowing reply from R. E. Sliger, cashier
of the First National Bank of Oakland:
Regarding the general business con-
ditiOns of our community, | must say
that there has been a great improve
ment in the last few years, and particu-
larly in the case of the farmer. While
Garrett is the largest county in the
State, it is also the Youngest, and is
not so thickly settled as the older coun-
ties. Up to within the last few years
it has had many acres of good timber
land, nearly every farmer having por-
ton of his land covered with virgin for
est. He has been able to sell this tim
Der for enough to pay his mortgage, if
he had one, and to imp owe the balance
of the farm. This also applies to some
coal that has been sold, the surface be-
ing retained There is no tendency
here to invest the surplus in wildcat
enterprises so far as l know, but it has
been put back on the farm in the shape
of improvements or deposited in the
savings department of the national
banks. should say that their deposits
have doubled in the last five years. and
in many cases the farms have more
than doubled in value Each farmer is
becoming more scientific each year and
is getting better results from his labor
He is using improved machinery more
and more. raising better crops and
erecting better buildings. There are
number of cases where investors from
other sections have bought land and
settled here, and farmer who is get
ting up in years sometimes sells his
farm and moves into Oakland, the coun-
ty seat. There is always demand for
residence property in Oakland, which is
a delightful resort the year round and
has the reputation of having a summer
climate that is unsurpassed. The new
State road that is now being built
through each county has already in
creased the value of the land that is
near 1t, and when completed will do a
vast amount of good to the whole State

next two years"

HOW TO MAKE FORESTS PAY

The main reason why this State, and
especially the Western agricultural sec
ton, has been stripped of its forests is
that forests have not been made to pay.
A farmer in one of THE great wheat
counties has a tract of woodland which
yields nothing. He uses coal for fuel
and has little use for the trees for other
farm purposes. But he has to pay
taxes upon the woodland. If he cuts
the trees down, he can sell the timber
for considerable sum and then raise
20 or 80 bushels of wheat to the acre on
the lands. This explains the fact that
one can ride for miles along the public
roads in Carroll. Frederick and Wash
ington counties without passing through
any woodland
Mr.. F. W. Besley, the Maryland State
Forester, has plan by which ne hopes
to save the remaining forests by teach
ing the owners of them how to make
them profiteble. Timber can be sold
from forests without destroying them.
Indeed, trees which have attained full
growth and maturity can be removed
50 as to make way for young growth,
and Mr.. Besley purposes to give some
lessons III practical forestry which may
be productive of enduring advantage
to the State. His purpose is to go into
different neighborhoods, select a suta-
bic piece of woodland and then upon an
appointed day invite the people of the
neighborhood to meet him and hear his
explanation of the methods by which
woodland can be made to yield an in
come without destroying the forest.
This is practical plan, and it is to
be hoped that it will receive fair trial
and that farmers and other owners of
forest lands will cooperate with Mr..
Besley.

THE GOVERNORS BIG POINT OF
VANTAGE.

Every day the Annapolis correspond
ents tell US of many fine things in
which Governor Crothers believes.
This is secondhand information. The
Governor told US all about it last sum-
mer during the campaign and two sum-
mers before that during another cam
paign.
The Governor has set of beliefs
that would be credit to any man. We
advanced the opinion several times last
summer, however, and more than once
in the previous campaign, that the Gov
ernor, if sincere, was running so far
ahead of his party that it was doubtful
if it would ever catch sight of him
again.
The thing we are now interested in
is: Do the members of the Governors
party in the Legislature believe as he
does? If they do not, can he make
them change their views? If he can't,
what do we get out of the tremendous
excitement of two campaigns, except
a very warm pressure of the hand and
an expression of regret that the bad
party leaders won't behave?
This is so ridiculous a come-down
from what we were led to expect that
we have hopes it's very absurdity, its
faulty, may avert it's happening
That is where the Governor, if he
Stands pat, has the bad leaders in
bad hole

Imposed Upon By Someone.

Last Saturdays Baltimore American
contained a special telegram dated at
Oakland giving the details of fire said
to have occurred at Brookside, near
Oakland, the day previous, which con-
sumed helioplane built in secrecy by
by one G. P. Blackiston, of Pittsburg.
formerly of Cumberland, Md.
A telephone message from Mrs. Kirk
patrick Tuesday morning to this office
conveyed the information that there had
been no fire on the farm, that no hello
plane was at the place and consequent
ly the report was a fake.
The telegram to the American was as
follows:
destroyed by fire early this morning
in its storage-house, on the firm of E.
j. Kirkpatrick. 20 miles from this place,
nothing but debris remains of the huge
helioplane built and owned by G. P.
Blackiston. of Pittsburg, formerly of
Cumberland, Md, and Washington, D.
C. The fire was discovered too late to
be COPIED with. A bucket brigade was
organized by farm employees, but their
efforts were of no avail.
The Blackiston helioplane was I'M
known to the aerOnautic world, being
invented and tested secretly by the
Pittsburg man. The helioplane was the
first of its kind ever successfully flown,
and had its inception during the extend
ed stay of Mr.. Blackiston at the Brook
side Farm last August. The machine
had remained there ever since.
Sometime ago Blacklston received
information that unknown parties con-
templated tampering with the airship.
His representative arrived here yester-
day but not in time to save the hello
plane. The detective and people at
Brookside suspect incendiarism, and the
former has secretly taken a search for
two strange men whom he suspects.
MIR. Blackiston was notified of the de-
struction of his helioplane this evening.
very little is known of the Blackis-
ton helioplane. 1t was constructed I'M
der the utmost secrecy, no photographs
having ever been taken of it except by
it's owner. 1t is said that the airship
made several successful flights, and it
is rumored that it was the Blackiston
helioplane and not the Tillinghast aero
plane that was seen in the vicinity of
the Long Island and Massachusetts
coast some time ago"

FELL AND BROKE ARM
Mrs. ]. NJ Robinson Was Painfully
Injured Saturday.

Last Saturday morning Mrs. j. N.
Robinson met with distressing and ex-
tremely painful accident at her home
on Second street when the lady stepped
on the rear porch of the house and slip
ped on some accumulated ice and snow,
falling backward into the door way,
and in doing so broke her left wrist and
painfully sprained he ankle and knee.
Mrs. Robinson met with similar ac-
cident few year ago and in practical
ly the same manner, at which time she
broke her hip, and ever since she has
been compelled to use crutch when
outside the house. Her recent accident,
while not as serious as the former one,
is still painful one and will keep her
to her room for a number of weeks.

WHAT! MARYLAND
AMENDMENT AGAIN.
Laugh at State This Time from
Knights of Labor.

Maryland is again attracting unfav-
orable comment through the prospec-
tive attempt of Legislators to put
through another suffrage amendment.
The Journal of the Knights of Labor,
published in Washington. in last weeks
issue has this to say editorially under
the caption, What That Maryland
Amendment Again.
indications are that Governor
Crothers will compel his agents and
managers, those who are conducting
the business end of the State law-mak
ing department, to submit another dis
reimbursement amendment to the voters
of the State. These men do not learn
by experience. Defeat does not carry
with it the object lesson intended. The
fact that this criminal scheme to kill off
enough votes, under the name of Law
to make it easy for the Governor ma
chine to control the State politics was
twice submitted to the voters and twice
overwhelmingly defeated, yet, if we
are to accept the press reports, it is to
be tried for third time.
''The people are to be bounded, cajol-
ed, brow-beaten and pleaded with to
kill the negro VOTE all of which
sounds well to the unintiated, but
which means much to the people gener-
ally. The proposed amendment, like
its defeated sisters, uses the negro as a
means to an end. The Crothers' ma
chine is anxious to eliminate from the
politics of the State every element re-
CARELESS of color which is opposed to
the present method of conducting the
States business. The negro is not the
only voter that it is intended to do
away with through this obnoxious
proposition. The foreign born voter is
in the same class, disguise it as they
may.
The machine managers know that
the great mass of foreign-born citizens
who are not fortunate enough to have
an education that will enable them to
read and understand this villainous
proposition that it is again proposed to
submit for their consideration, win not
present themselves at the voting booths,
fearing that they will be arrested for
illegal voting, particularly if their incli-
nations are to vote against the domi-
nant party. Such law would keep
thousands of men who have not a drop
of negro blood in their veins away from
the polls. and these are the men that 1t
is intended to reach as well as the zig
norant colored voter,
There is no need for any curtail-
mant of the voting powers of the State;
no necessity to worry over the colored
voter. If he, or any voter, does not
live strictly within the law required of
him, punish him, but do not inflict
hardship on thousands of other people
some do not respect the rights and
privileges accorded them by the laws
of the State; do not pass sentence in
advance on a class because you have
failed to enforce to laws on the violator.
ut is well to remind the gentlemen
who make up the Maryland Legislature
that the day will never come when
such an outrageous, unconstitutional
and entirely uncalled for amendment
will be adopted by the voters of the
State, and it is right that it should not
be-"
