Asking For Divorce,

Action in divorce was brought in Adams
county court Friday by Lulu M. Eyler
against her husband, William Eyler, who
is now serving life sentence in the
Eastern Penitentiary at Philadelphia for
the murder of Howard Miller at the Globe
Hotel, Gettysburg. on Memorial Day,
1906
The papers in the case recite that at
November court, 1906, Eyler was con-
victed of murder in the first degree, and
that on January 9, 1907, he was sentenced
to be hanged, this sentence later being
committed to life imprisonment. Under
the laws of the state an imprisonment of
more than two years for felony con.
stitute desertion.
Mrs. Eyer gives her residence as Free
dom township, Adams county, and states
that she has been a resident of the coun-
ty for more than year. At the time
of the murder the Eylers resided near
Emmitsburg.
1t will be recalled that rather recently
an effort was made to secure a pardon
for Eyler but it failed. The murder was
committed during the usual excitement
of Memorial Day. The weapon used
was a pump handle. Miller died the fol-
lowing day. Gettysburg Herald.

Water Very Scarce.

In nearly all the streams of the county
water is becoming very low. Last week
notice was given consumers in Frederick
city to stop sprinkling lawns and gardens
until further notice, the water in the
stream feeding the reservoir being low.
Water in Hunting creek which supplies
power for the municipal lighting plant at
Thurmont is very low. Power is fur
niseed to generate current for house
lighting, but the street lights have been
cut off until relief comes.
Tuesday afternoon thundergust COM
ing from the north passed over this sec
ton of the county, and brought much
needed rain. There was little wind, but
a heavy rain fell for almost an hour.
The corn crop will be greatly benefited.
but the streams will not be affected to
any great degree.
Following the rain, the temperature
fell so much that It was necessary to
wear light wraps.

COLLEGIANS Beaten.
Frederick City's Best Amateur
Club Defeated By Locals.
Could Not Hit Root.
TnurmOnt 8; Collegians 5.

On Saturday last the most exciting
game of the season was played on the
local diamond, the team known as the
Frederick Collegians and composed OF
the best amateur players in and around
Frederick, opposing the local club.
AS the game began, rain commenced
to fall, but not in quantity sufficient to
stop the game. With wet ball Root
started the game and as consequence
two of the Frederick batters were given
walk in the first inning. The rain con-
tinued until two innings were played,
after which Root had perfect control of
the sphere and the visitors at his mercy.
He received splendid support from his
teammates, but two errors being made
during the game. In the third inning
due to bad throw the visitors scored
two runs, and but one of the five scored
was earned.
McHenry. who was put in to pitch,
was found easy for the Thurmonters and
in the fifth was replaced by King, who
was also touched freely.
Every point in the game was holly
contested by both teams and the excite
ment was extreme to the end of the
game.
So far this season the Thurmont club
has been victorious over any team COM
ing here from Frederick Lease, who
has been playing in Frederick for several
years, was hit severely several weeks
ago; King, who has been pitching well
for the Frederick High School, and Nc
Henry who pitched on the Maryland
Agricultural College team this year, lost
asst Saturday. The combination playing
here Saturday was possibly the most
f rmidable foe on the local diamond this
season, but "there was no joy in Fred
erick when the club returned home.
In the lineup for Thurmont Mr.. Russell
Waesche held down first base in first
class style, accepting everything coming
his way.
Mr., Lester Birely appeared with the
team Saturday and proved that he was
as active as ever playing the infeld.
Catcher Damuth made beautiful
play-the last of the game. Running
hard after hunted ball, he picked it up
and shot it to first accurately, retiring
the runner and side, and saved chance
of possible tie.

Relics Of Indian Days.
Two Stone Pipes Discovered
Under Rock Near Deerfield.

UnOer KOCk Near DecfHelu.
Two stone pipes, different in design,
were brought to our Office yesterday by
Mr.. F. N. Willhide, who resides near
Deerfield, west of Thurmont.
One of these pipes is in good condition,
neatly carved, the bowl being but a
slight curve of the stem. The other pipe
in design is quite different, the stem be-
ing about an inch wide and seven inches
in length; the bowl standing erect.
These pipes were discovered several
weeks ago while Mr.. Willhide and John
Portner we're digging around large
projecting rock and preparing to place
charge of dynamite to remove it. In
striking with mattick Mr.. Portner hit
the stem of one of these aid broke it,
but the other was not injured. Both
were filled with clay but Mr.. Willhide
has them thoroughly clean and smoked
one of them.
The age of these pipes can only be
estimated, but presumably they are the
work of Indians hundreds of years ago.
The rock from which they are cut is
almost of lead color, is soft and capable
of being highly polished.

Busy Quarrying Stone.
Hundreds of Tons of Limestone
Being Used on State Roads.


Near the State Road leading from
Thurmont to Frederick. and about five
miles south of Thurmont, is located the
stone quarries owned and operated by
Mr.. A. M. Isanogle, and just at this
time is very interesting place to visit.
Mr.. Isanogle has contract with the
Good Roads Commission to furnish stone
for the State on the road now being built
from Thurmont south toward Frederick,
the contract calling for 200 tons to be
delivered daily. and thus far the require
ments have been met.
Last week, and for some time past,
about forty men have been working In
the quarry, some drilling holes into
which is placed the dynamite to blow
the rock, some feeding the rock into
large crusher, others loading the ten
carts which carry the rock to the crush
err. In preparing to blow a body of rock
about 40 holes are drilled, two steam
drills being kept busy. These holes are
put down 16 feet in depth and l6 feet
horizontally in the face of the roak. The
cost of drilling and dynamite for one of
these shots costs in the neighborhood of
three hundred dollars, but rock sutfi
is loosened up to keep the crusher busy
for about week or more.
AS the stone are crushed, they are ele-
waited to the top of a large bin, pass
through screen and the different sizes
fall into their respective compartments.
At the side of this bin are loaded the
large motor trucks and wagons which
carry them to various places along the
rood. The trucks have a capacity of
about five tons and by attaching trailer
about eight tons of stones are taken
away each time the motor leaves the
quarry.
We have it from reliable source that
500 has been spent for tires on these
trucks by the contractors since they have
oeen in use at this place.
While thousands of tons of stone have
.lready been delivered along the road it
will take many more tons to meet the
contractors.
Mr.. Isanogle besides looking after the
work on his large farm, surpervises the
work in the quarry and is kept very busy.

Lancaster special Of February l. to
the Columbia State: An earnest and
numerously signed petition bearing the
signature Of practically every citizen
of this place urging congress to ap-
propriate an additional $4,000 for the
building Of modern postoffice at Lam
caster is being circulated in town by
John D. Wylie and will in a few days
be presented, probably by Mayor Hood
and a committee Of public spirited
business men, to Congressman Finley
Of this district, who will go to Wash
ington for the purpose About year
ago an appropriation Of $4,000 for q
postoffice here was made, but it is now
thought that the greatly increased
volume of business Of the Lancaster
postoffice, which is patronized by more
than 5000 people, would justify an ex-
penditure by the government of at
least $4,000 for an up-to-date and
somewhat pretentious postoffice build
ing in the town Of Lancaster, which
is now enjoying a permanent steady
growth and whose financial and indus
trial strength, according to area and
population, is second to none in the
state. 1t is thought here that the pc
tition will be favorably received and
that Mr. Finley will at once introduce
another bill in congress to grant the
additional appropriation for Lancas-

A Sure Proposition

On February %, 1878, the Mutual
Benefit Life Insurance Company Is
sued to Charles L. Railey Of Lexing-
ton, KY, an Ordinary Life Policy for
$4,000 on the Accelerative EndoW-
ment Plan. Mr.. Railey was "a years
of age when the policy was issued and
the annual premium was $251.SO. AL
the time the policy was issue the race
of the policy-$10, ,000-was not to be
paid by the company except In case OF
the death of Mr.. Railey Or at age So!
All Ordinary Life Policies. issued by
all companies, contain those condi-
tions, and that is why the average
man objects to them and prefers fif-
teen or twenty pay life. At the time
the policy was issued Mr. Railey had
the privilege of using his annual diVi-
dends to reduce his premium or to
leave them with the company to be
applied on the Accelerative Endow-
ment Plan and thus convert his policy
into an endowment. He chose the
latter plan and as result on Feb. 22,
1908, 80 years after the policy was Is
sued, the company paid him $40, 164. "
in cash, while he was yet living. Dur.
ing the 80 years he deposited $7,65
any time after he made his first de-
posit the company would have very
promptly paid $4,000 to his benefi-
ciaries. Don't you think 80 years
gilt-edge protection and the payment
of S10.764.72 in cash is fine return
on payments of 1854 made in install
ments? The company has thousands
Of policies Of this kind in force. 1
would be pleased to give any addition
al information you may desire relative
to the plan. The company issues pol
icies on acceptable lives at all ages
from Is years to 70. 1t insures both
males and females, and issues them
to be paid up with any number of
payments the assured may elect.
