At An early age. Eugene Puilen was
an express driver. He handled railroad
baggage. One day after delivering a
heavy trunk on an upper floor he fel.
a pain in the right groin. The suffering
Increased and II was not long before
the young man noticed the swelling.
The doctor told young Puiien that
he was ruptured and that he must
either wear a truss throughout life or
submit to a drastic operation. All
surgeons know that hernia operations.
with anaesthetics, etc, are dangerous;
they may end fatally. Moreover. it
is a well established fact that many
rupture operations are not successful;
the bowel soon breaks through the
sewed-up opening and protrudes worse
than ever.
Afraid of Operation.
Like most others Mr.. Pullen declined
to take the risks OF an operation; the
expense and loss of time had to be
considered. too. Hoping he might get
a little better encouragement. he went
to another physician who, to his sor-
row, gave him even less hope. II was
pointed out to the young man that un-
less the rupture were perfectly held all
the time or the surgeons knife sue
cessfully used, he might expect an in
crease or doubling In the rupture with
further complications. or the dreaded
strangulated hernia which kills so
many ruptured people.
Victim Of Trusses.
The victim bought a truss. a hard.
spring-like affair, the best ne could
other-still no relief. He was compelled
to give up his express business. The
hard tasks Of ordinary men were for
hidden him. He became an insurance
agent. in which position he did not
need to do bodily work
For six years Mr.. Pullen dragged

to do. He lost no time.
Discarded His Truss.
Relief came at once: he almost for

.LONGACRE THEATER
EXCHANGE CLOSED,
$4,000 MISSING
DefaIcation- Discovered After
Weeks Work by Expert Ac-
countants.

NEW YORK, Feb. e.-The Long
acre Theater Exchange-a clearing
house through which the Tyson Thea
ter Ticket Company and other
agencies received tickets-is closed
today and a large gap exists in its
finances. The name OF a man ex-
ceedingly well known in theatrical
circles Is mentioned throughout the
tbeater district. An arrest is pre-
dicted.
All last week a pair of expert ac-
countants were in charge of the books
Of the Longacre establishment, at
Forty-first street and Broadway. and
Yesterday they handed their findings
over to william M. Erb. one OF the
organizers and manager Of the con-
Germ.
Statement Tomorrow.
Thomas Norton. an assistant to Mr..
Erb. declared yesterday that the lat
ter was out of town, but would be
back tomorrow and make public just
what loss the failure of the Longacre
means to the Tyson company and to
the other ticket agencies.
1t is reported that the loss to the
subscribers to the Longacre ticket
clearing house will amount to $4,000.
II there be humor in the situation at
all II lies in the fact that the Tyson
company-really the parent of the
Lcngacre concern and the heaviest
subscriber for theater tickets-has
suffered most. In other words. the
Tyson company Is experiencing the
pengs that thankless child proverb-
tally inflicts.

Profit on Each Ticket.
The Longacre solicited sEbsaribe.s
under the following .erras: An rrcnt
would pay SO much for a :srratn priced
seat. The amount he paid covered the
purchase Of that seat COR the entire
week. II he should want tan or twenty
such seats he paid accordingly. The
tickets for which the Longacre Is sup
posed to have paid face value Were cb-
tsined by the agent at an increase of 9
cents. Thus the Longacre made proit
Of cents on every ticket,
Many Of the agents subscribed a lump
sum, and at the beginning of the month
would send check TO the Lonsaere
covering their demand for seats for
four weeks. The size of the check
varied in accordance with the a-enSJ'
demands.
Then each week the agsps received
HIS specified tickets. But now tie i>1ag-

have subscribed for a month or 70 In
advance. Most OF them are wandering

excellent music. The feature of the
afternoon was a match game of base

WHY MISLEAO VOTERS?

To the voters and citizens of Garrett
County:
There seems to have been actively
circulated throughout Garrett county
by some of my opponents seeking the
nomination for County Commissioner on
the Republican ticket a false statement
to the effect that | have been brought
out for the nomination of County Com
missioner by a few people in Friends
vile for the purpose of using my in
fiuence, if elected, to have built a
State Aid Road from FriendSville to
point near Accident, this county.
In answer to this false statement |
desire to say to the voters of this county
that this statement is wholly without
foundation and untrue.
further desire to say that my can
dldacy for this office is only prompted
by true and sincere motives, and am
willing and ready at all times to ac-
count to the voters and citizens of this
county the purposes and object of my
candidacy which is based entirely upon
my interest and desire to see the affairs
of this county conducted in a business
like manner. | further desire to state
to the voters of this county that il
nominated and elected to this office my
interest in the conduct of the affairs of
the Office will not be confined to any
particular locality of the county, but to
the county as a whole and at large
Replying further to said statement, |
desire to say that the County Com
missioners have already officially agreed
for the construction of this road re-.
ferred to with the State Road Com
mission according to the plans, specifca-
tons and estimate as set forth by the
State Road Commission. This matter
having been passed upon and settled by
the County Commissioners would in It
self relieve me of being interested in the
nomination and election to this office for
the purposes aforesaid. Evidence to
substantiate the fact that the County
Commissioners have agreed to build
this road as above set forth will be
forthcoming in later edition of this
paper.
further desire to state to the people
of Garrett county that personally am
opposed to the expenditure of the
people S money. further than is absolute
ly necessary, while the present high
rate of taxation exists.
Respectfully,
GEORGE D. BROWNING,

authority of the candidate.)
