"that common colds may become uncom-

Window Peppers About.
Citizens Shadow Them But No
Arrests Were Made.

Several young men, strangers to the
citizens of this place, were in town Sun
day evening and by their actions aroused
the curiosity of number of citizens in
the east end Of town.
Notice of them was first taken by DIR.
E. B. Seton, who at the time was at his
home on Carroll street, when some one
gazed through the window at the family.
Instead of passing on, the fellow loitered
about the street corner for some time,
then walked slowly up street. While
DR.. Seton went to church he noticed
man peeping through windows in several
homes along Main street.
He notified several parties and watch
ed the man who continued acting very
strangely. Thinking perhaps he was
burglar other men were notified and an
officer secured. Finally the stranger was
joined by another and then the guardians
went after them. One was caught and
the other escaped. After much question
ing and gaining little information this
man was given his freedom. Later he
was seen along the railroad track sitting
by fire.
The same evening some one tried to
gain entrance to Mr.. Stanley Damuth's
home by way of the kitchen door, but
was frightened away by the folks in the
house.
Evidently somebody would have been
robbed had not the peppers been inter-
fered with by our citizens. A watch was
kept nearly all night.

Ends Life Inha'ing Gas.
Ill Health Given AS Reason
For His Act.
For His Act.

After writing note to his father in
which he stated that he was "sorry to
give him this trouble" Lewis M. Smith,
committed suicide by inhaling illuminate
ing gas in the third-foor back room of
1O3 East Franklin street, Baltimore, late
Friday afternoon of last week. His body,
lying across the bed, with gas tube
held tightly in his mouth, was discovered
by the father, David M. Smith. When
found the body was still warm.
According to relatives, Mr.. Smith for
some years past had been in failing health
and this is given as the only reason for
his act. 1t was stated that he feared to
go to hospital to undergo surgical
operation.
No intimation had ever been made by
Mr.. Smith that he contemplated taking
his life. Friday when the father left to
go to work he left his son in the best Of
spirits. When he returned shortly after
5 O'Clock he detected the odor of gas, and
tracing the smell to his sons room, found
the body.
On chair beside the bed was the fol-
lowing note:
Father-Sorry to give you this
trouble, but it is for the best. Please
don't call anyone in; just let me be.
Goodby.
LEWIS.
P. S.-Say it was an accident and
save the insurance.
The deceased was a native of Freder-
lex and was associated with his father in
business, when the latter conducted
Smiths Temple of Fancy, on the corner
Of Church and Market streets. After
the Smiths discontinued business, Mr..
Lewis Smith moved to Fountain Rock
and Travelled for his father-in-law, Mr..
J ohm w. Stimmell Later he worked in
Mr.. Stimmelps store at Logs until about
four years ago.
Mr.. and Mrs. Smith resided on East
street in this place, both travelling for
The Aluminium Cooking Utensil Co., of
New Kensington, Pa.
Mr.. Smiths body was brought to Fred
erick Monday and interment made in Mt.

Be Good, II Not, Receive 40 Lashes
And Serve One Year In Pen.
Pleading for clemency for her husband
who on Wednesday of last week brutally
beat her with her fists, Mrs. Archibald
Stimmell, of Woodsboro, with tears flow
ing down her cheeks, for more than two
hours begged, argued and entreated that
Justice Marion C. Miller "give Archibald
Just one more chance" She was success
jul, but not until the end of two hours,
Tor Justice Miller was obdurate in his de-
:ision to have Stimmell dashed if by the
evidence he thought that he was guilty
of wife-beating.
The hearing was held last Friday at
Woodsboro, and Stimmell, who had been
confined in Jail at Frederick under $500
bond was taken to Woodsboro, plead
guilty, and did not attempt to deny that
he had beaten his wife, but said that it
was because he was drunk.
St!mmell was paroled by Justice Miller
with this ultimatum: "Your sentence
will be 40 lashes and one year in the pen
itentiary, if you, even in the slightest
manner violate this PAROLE Stimmell
without hesitation promised to be good.
The Justice said that every action OF
Stimmell's would be watched and any at
tempt to ill-treat his wife would mean
sentence of 40 lashes and year in the
penitentiary, and that the pleadings of
his wife would not save him.
