Put Off Train-Arrested.

On Monday night Frank Lide got on
the special trolley car in Frederick just
before it left that place for Thurmont.
He was somewhat intoxicated and when
conductor HORNE asked him for his ticket
he handed him piece of paper. 1t was
not satisfactory, and the conductor de-
manded the money. After some argu-
ing Lidie produced the coin, and then be-
came abusive. He was cautioned to keep
quiet by the conductor and also by pas
sengers but did not heed. When the car
reached Bethel, Lidie was put off the
car. Tuesday Deputy Sheriff Hauvel
came to Thurmont, arrested Idle anc
took him to Frederick.

Asks Divorce From Husband.

Ada Summers, through her attorneys,
Stoner and Weinberg, has filed a suit for
divorce against her husband, Heber S.
Summers. The bill recites they were
married February Is, 1908. For the first
few years after their marriage they re-
sided in the county and one year ago
moved in to Frederick, where Mr.. Sum-
mers conducted store. Mrs. Summers
alleges that after coming to Frederick
her husband began treating her brutally,
remained out often all night and has or
more than one occasion driven her from
the house at a. M, and compelled her
to walk the streets until daylight.
Heber S. Summers, whose wife sued
him for divorce, says that his attorney,
Reno S. Harp, will file his answer in a
few days in the case, denying the allega-
lions of any cruel treatment at his hands,
and that he never drove his wife from
the house and did nothing to impair hel
health.

No Politics i'm Roads.

The confident expectation is that Gov
ernor Goldsborough and the Legislature
will get together on the Good Roads bill
to make another appropriation to contin-
lie the road work. The work cannot con-
tinue without such agreement, and Meth
err the Governor nor the Legislature
would willingly and lightly assume the
responsibility for disseminating the work.
But it cannot be assumed that he
will sign any kind of bill and the Dem
ocrats are anxious to put the bill in such
shape that it will be approved.
The Governor is anxious to satisfy all
that he has no desire to introduce politics
into the road business and he gives every
assurance that, if the Road Commission
is left to him, he will name men to whom
there can be no reasonable objection.

BRIGHT OUTLOOK FOR
SINGING SCHOOL.

Prof. Smith Meets Ninety People
Who Want To Learn TO Sing.
On Tuesday evening of this week Prof.
Geo. Ed. Smith of Frederick city met
the class of young and old people who
met together the previous Tuesday even
ing and signifed their intention to learn
to sing. The meeting was held in Trim
ity Reformed church, and after calling
the roll and the enrolment of new men,
bers, the membership was increased to
ninety. This was very gratifying to the
officers of the organization and also to
Prof. Smith. In the membership of the
class are young people from Foxville,
Lewistown, Graceham, Zentztown and
Thurmont. The charge per night has
been fixed at 10 cents per member, pay
able each night. The amount thus COL
lected and remaining in the treasury af-
ter all expenses have been met will be
used to buy music in the future.
1t is regretted very much that num-
Der of young men of this place who are
known to possess good voices have not
become members of this class. Male
quartettes music that is particularly at
tractive-can scarcely ever be made part
of program because of the fact that
young men cannot read music. The fell
low who sits around "singing TENOR is
generally straining his vocal chords and
singing soprano an octave or two higher
than he should. The map with good
tenor voice is always in demand. Come
to the class next Tuesday evening and
let Prof. Smith learn you to sing cor
rectly.

COMMUNICATED.

On Friday, January Goth, the Farmers
Institute will be held in Town Hall, this
place, and at the same time there will be
an exhibit of poultry and farm products.
These meetings have been held for the
past several years and last year the new
feature of exhibiting poultry started the
exhibition feature. In connection with
our Institute meetings this year we ex-
pect to go one better and exhibit cereals
in connection with poultry.
AS Thurmont is centrally located for
Emmitsburg, Creagerstown, Lewistown,
and Hauvers districts, as well as its own
Mechanicstown district, and if the farm
ers in said districts as well as our own
will take an interest in our Institute
meetings as well as the exhibits, we can
not only make these meetings success
so far as the meetings are concerned,
but make them financial success to the
farmer that takes an interest in them;
it is the spirit to excel that is instilled
into the farmers by competition with
his neighbor. If my neighbor can raise
fifteen barrels of corn to the acre | am
going to try to raise sixteen. By these
meetings you stir up that latent ambi-
ton that has been laying dormant and
gives you something to think about
and ponder how | can keep abreast of
my neighbor, but we don't want to do it
in begrudging what our neighbor is get
ting out of it, but recognize his push and
success and find out how he does it.
Now am going to ask every one that
reads this article to come forward and
help make this meeting success wheth-
er he be farmer, tradesman, merchant,
or what not, and see if we cannot help
to make two blades of grass grow this
year where one grew last year.

DENIES
He URGED COLONEL
TOSTOP TRUST SUIT
Declares Harvest Litigation
Was Not Before Him
in Cabinet.

Following a conference with Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wilson and Senator
Root, President Taft has Issued state
ment denying the declaration of Col
onel Roosevelt in his Worcester speech
that while Secretary of War he had
urged the Cabinet to drop the prosecu-
ton of the Harvester Trust.
The Presidents statement dealt with
none of the other charges by Colonel
Roosevelt.
Mr.. Taft quotes from official records
and relies on Senator Root and Secre-
tary Wilson to prove that the Har-
vester case never came before the
Cabinet while he was Secretary of
War.
Willie he does not use the short and
ugly" word, the President says in his
statement that Mr.. Roosevelts men,
ory Is very much at fault"
Shortly after the statement was made
public the President left the city for
Massachusetts. This Is the third trip he
has made to the Bay State I'm little
more than a month. He plans to spend
the day speech making in the indus
trial section of the State. A speech at
Brockton will be his last word to the
voters of the State before the primary
election tomorrow.
Charles d. Hilles, Secretary to the
President, and Gus J. Karker, Wash
ington correspondent OF the Cincinnati
Times-Star, and close personal friend of
President Taft, accompanied him on the
trip.
