10 will be noted from the above
figures that tho 10 counties OF this
upper peninsula with population of
about one-twelfth of the state is valued
at about one seventh of the entire

mense amount of worthless land which
lies in the upper peninsula is taken
into consideration, a small part OF
this upper country is worth a LOT of
money.

Accidentally Injured.

Three persons were injured Tuesday
night when several dozen blank and
loaded cartridges thrown in a bonfire
exploded on West Fifth street.
The injured are:
Ira Ray, wounded in the forehead
taken to the Frederick City Hospital.
Mildred Hull, injured on the hip.
Marcus Simmons, slightly injured.
Without the slightest warning the
cartridges, concealed in a barrel TAX
en- from the store yard OF H. L. Ebert,
North Market street, exploded in rap
id succession. Ray, who was stand
ing in the door of Meier's Bakery on
the south side of West Fifth street,
was struck in the forehead by bullet
from one of the shells.
Taken To Hospital.
For a few minutes he was uncon-
scious, and was carried into the bak-
cry by Frank Angevine, and Roy
Brust, employees. Dr. L. A. Burck was
summoned and ordered Ray to be re-
moved to the Frederick City Hospital.
The physician said that he could not
determine the extent of the wounds
until this morning. Ray suffered
much pain.
Mildred Hull, the small daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. C. Elmer Hull, was
slightly wounded on the left hip when
the shells began to explode 1t was
reported Marcus Simmons. a young
ster, was slightly wounded.
Thirty children and men stood
around huge bonfire on West Fifth
street last evening when the cart
ridges exploded. There was probably
forty explosions. The barrel in which
the bullets were concealed was rid

street.

THE ELECTION AND THE LES
SONS IT TEACHES.

The election Of nineteen hundred and
fourteen Is done and over and the only
thing that remains 70 consider is the les
son it teaches. This lesson Is significant
and beneficial TO the Democratic party if
it profits by its evident teaching. 1t Is
always true of any party recently put
in control of the government, and more
especially..if that party adopted any rad
ical reforms in the administration of af-
fairs. And it is snd must be admitted
by all that the present administration has
adopted many and far reaching reforms
all along the line and which reforms are
now in full operation and their beneficial
effects are not fully realized by the peO
pie. The new tariff, which is Demo
cratic tariff pure and simple for revenue
only. with every feature of protection
eliminated, was demonstrated to the peo-
pie. but they have not reached and
felt its Justice and honesty and benefit to
all the people. But it will justify itself
and it is only question Of time when it
will do so. We have only to wait and
see. Honesty and integrity of any and
al legislation must inevitably in the end
Justify and vindicate its adoption. Wait
and see. Then We adopted new bank

want more money and they were not

were clamoring for more money. The

Georgianna E Clifford vs. Edward W. Gift
ford.
The object OF this suit is to procure
decree for divorce a vinculo matrimonii
for the said Georgianna E. Clifford from
the said Edward W Clifford. The Bill in
substance states that the said Georgianna
Clifford was married to the said Edward
W. Clifford at Orange County, Virginia. on
November 4th. 1879. by the Rev. J. P.
Strider Presbyterian Minister of the Cos
pei and they lived together thereafter fora
period OF twenty years in Cecil County,
Maryland, and thereafter for period of
about i've years at Chester County. Penn
sylvania. and thereafter for short period
at 1orklynn, Delaware That although
the conduct of the said Georgianna Clifford
toward the said Edward ". Clifford was
kind, affectionate and above reproach. he,
without Just cause. and for no reason, i'll
treated and neglected her and deliberately
insulied and abused her and neglected to
provide her with the comforts and neceSs7-
ties of life with the studied and deliberate
design of producing abandonment, and
that he frequently stated he would no long
er live with her and would obtain di-
vorce from her. That the said GeorgiaDna
Clifford was finally compelled TO leave the
said Edward W. Clifford because of the
treatment aforesaid. on the 18th day Of
February, 1905, and support herself. and
he has failed and refused to support her;
that such abandonment of the said Georgi-
anna f. Clifford by the said Edward ".
Clifford is deliberate and final and said
abandonment and the separation of the
hos -fx-
for more than three years, and said sepaTa-
/ tion is-beyond any reasonable expectation
of reconciliation. The Bill further states
that the said Georgisnna E. Clifford is
resident of Frederick County. Maryland,
and that the said Edward W Clifford Is a
resident of the State of Pennsylvania. but
his residence therein is unknown to the
Plaintiff And the Bill further states that
no children have been born of said mar
riage. And the Plaintiff prays that she
may he divorced a vinculo matrimonii

such other relief as her case may require.
