TWO VEINS OF
COAL ARE FOUND
Underlies 5000 Acre Tract Belonging 10
Capt. +. P. Rease, in Randolph Co.


Capt, f. p. Rease. Of this city, who for
some time has had force of men engage
ed on his property in the upper end of
Randolph county drilling for coal, is very
much cheated over the fact that last week
his efforts proved successful and two
veins Of good coal has been located on
his property. One 10 a four foot wien and
the other -four and one-half.
The opening OF the mines will neces-
'itate the building Of about seventeen
miles OF railroad to connect with the
Western Maryland or about ten to connect
with the HoYey River railroad and 1t is
said thatstlNV}atter road would he prefer
able. as theEEades would be better.
Several surveys have been made BY
both roads and II II 10 only a question OF
short time until the territory covered
by Capt Rease's land will be reached

be opened in full blast as the coal 10 In

BIG ELEPHANTS WILL
SHOW THEIR SKILL
0dI' Doe Feature Of Frank A. Robbins
Circus Which viii Soon Be Here.

Frank a. Robbins All Feature Shows
have been travelling about the United
States for thirty-three years and every
year they have been bigger and better
than before. In all that time Mr.. Rho
bins, whose show appears in Beingto.
on Monday, Aug. 81. has prided him
self especially on the splendid animal
acts which are always one feature Of the
show. This year the Thompson troupe
OF performing elephants occupies a
prominent place on the program, and the
feats performed by the big pachyderma
are enough to astonish all. That such big
and apparently unwieldly animals should
be able to dance, play baseball and other
difficult feats seems impossible, but that
is what they really do, twice each day.
They are interesting animals 10 observe,
other than in the ring, too, for Eva, the
giantess OF the troupe daily does all the
work, of moving wagons about the show
lot, and other heavy work, which 1t
would take dozen horses much longer
to perform.
The cleverest bareback riders, aerialists
without peers in the show world today,
wire walkers unexcelled, tumbiers, a
group Of clowns who keep young and
old in roars OF laughter high school acts,
and other circus features make up pro-
gram lasting two hours which leave moth
ing to be desired.

FARMERS CAN
Sell CIDER
Prohibition Law Provides for Making and
Selling Sweet Cider

We have been asked by number OF
farmers in THE section to ascertain wheth-
er or not they are allowed to make and
sell cider and for the information of all OF
the tanners of the county, we quote part
of section 4 OF the Prohibition law which
is as follows:
.s;ec. 4-The provisions Of this act
shall not be construed TO prevent anyone
from manufacturing for his own domestic
consumption wine or cider;'or to prevent
the manufacture from fruit grown ex
clusively within this state OF vinegar and
notwithstanding cider Tor use or sale =
Thus it will be seen that the farmers
are protected in this line and their apples
can be used in the making of cider and
grapes into wine for their own nse.
