There are about $4,000 barrels OF apples
stored in the c. L. Robinson cold storage
plant in Charles Town, and more are be-
ing received daily.
Scarlet fever has appeared in the State
School for the Deaf and Blind at Romney.
Two children OF Mrs. Poland, an EN-
ployee OF the school, died from the dis
ease.
Mary Daniels, a colored woman OF
Charles Town, was arrested in Hagers
town last week on the charge OF robbing
a dwelling in Frederick OF $500 worth OF
jewelry.
The farm OF the late John B. Page, near
Ripon, containing IS acres, was sold re-
Gently at public sale by Charles Rissler,
executor. John H. NARROW bought 1t at
$3.50 an acre.
A case OF smallpox was discovered in
Hagerstown on Monday, when Harry Z.
Wright, an employee of the Western
Maryland Railroad shops, was found to
be suffering from the disease. He con-
tracted ltfrom Llewellyn Mayo, OF Beling-
ton, w. Va, who had visited his house
during the fair while sick with smallpox.
lanes Bussard, B. & 0. brakeman,
was fatally injured in the railroad yards
at Brunswick last Thursday, when a To-
connective ran over him and cut off both
of his legs. AS the injured man was be-
ing carried to the hospital he looked
around and saw man carrying the sew
cred legs and then remarked that he knew
he would die. He died an hour later,
being conscious to the last. The body
was inferred in Sharpsburg on Saturday.
Two apple buyers, L. E. Calvert, OF
Lockport, N. Y, and Theodore Shoptaw.
of Louisville, had a thrilling experience
and narrow escape from death near
Harper'S Ferry last Thursday afternoon.
They were in hired automobile driven
by William Ryan, of Winchester, and had
been to Weverton TO look after an orchard.
Returning, the driver took the wrong
road at the Harper's Ferry bridge and
turred toward Keedysville. When about
hall way TO the latter place the car struck
a bumper and threw Calvert on top OF the
driver, who lost control of the machine,
which dashed down the hill at terrific
speed. All three OF the occupants jumped
out, sustaining severe injuries, but ii was
lucky that they did so, for the car struck
tree and was thrown down the noun
tain side, being utterly demolished.

The Great War In Europe.

The great war in Europe has been
marked by important developments the
past week. The Turkish Empire has
become embroiled in the fight. Several
of its war vessels attacked Russian ships,
and offensive movements were made
against the allies and against English in
terests. Russia and England have sent
fleets against the Turks, and several en-
gagementS have been fought. 1t is be-
lieved that Turkey was forced into ag-
gressive acts by the Germans. but the
allies will make campaign against the
Turks and if they win the present war
will make her pay dearly for her intru-
sion into the conflict. II is possible that
Turkeys action will result in Italy going
into the European war, joining with
France and England and Russia.
The French and English seem TO have
had the better Of the battles in Belgium
the past week. The Germans have re-
tired from their positions along the User
river, and the allies have been steadily
gaining ground. The Germans were
driven from strong positions they held
when the Belgiums cut the canals and
flooded the country.
In the east the Russians claim to be
gaining steadily on the Germans and Aus
TRANS, and are now reported to be firmly
established on Russian territory. Cholera
and typhus fever are said to be prevalent
among the Austrian forces.
The Germans have had advantage over
the British in the sea fighting. Their
submarines continue to inflict great DAM
age TO English warships and several have
been sunk. Tuesday there was naval
battle off the coast Of Chile between five
German warships and three English
cruisers. Two of the English vessels
were destroyed and the third was forced
TO take refuge in the harbor at Coronel.
The Germans ships were practically un-
injured. German warships have been
doing good deal of damage to English
shipping in both the Atlantic and Pacific
oceans.

JEFFERSON COUNTY.

Jefferson county was carried by the
Democrats, every candidate being elected
by little better than the usual majorities
for an off year. Congressman Browns
plurality over Bowers was ll47, as against
his plurality OF ll0l over Sturgiss four
year ago. Hodges had plurality OF
1906 over Sutherland for Congressman
at-large. Although there was opposition
to Mr.. Brown at some precincts, mostly
because OF personal disappointments, he
received Republican votes almost suffi-
cientto offsetthis detection. Mr.. Bowers
did not receive as large a vote as his
friends expected, his personal popularity
not being able to make the break in party
lines that he had been led to suppose.
The following are the totals OF the vote
in Jefferson county:
For Congressman-Brown 1899, Bow
ers $50.
For Congressman at Large - Hodges
2027, Sutherland S2l.
For State Senate - Beckwith 1857,
Somers S6S.
For the Legislature-Burr 1860, MuSser

For County Superintendent OF Schools

THERE was no landslide in the election
in the United States on Tuesday, but
President Wilson's administration has
stood the test OF criticism and his policies
and the legislation ofthe Democratic party
are ratified by the voters OF the country.
Both the House and the Senate will have
Democratic majorities. and the admins
tration will not be embarrassed by an
unfriendly Congress. The big majority
OF the Democrats in the House was ma
terially reduced, but this was anticipated.
Two years ago the great split in the Re-
publican party and the activity OF the
Progressives resulted in the election OF
Democrats from number of Republican
districts. This year the Progressives
have made poor showing, and the Re-
publicans have returned to their old allie
glance.
That the Democrats retain control OF all
branches OF The government is rather re-
markable. "Big business" and the spec
ial interests whose privileges have been
curtailed were against the administration.
The incubus OF the distribution OF the
postoifices and other government jobs
was heavy drag, and the untried effects
of many new laws were disadvantage.
The administration has stood the lest oil
all these and more, and President Wilson
achieves distinct party and personal
victory.

the decline OF the Progressive party.

THE cause OF prohibition was advanced
again by the elections on Tuesday. Three
States were added to the 'dry" column
Oregon. Arizona and Colorado. II is
further believed that dry Legislature has
been elected in illinois, which will, it is
expected, be of material help to the tenn
perance cause. Ohio, California and
Washington, which voted on the temper
ance question Tuesday, went wet. II
was expected that Ohio and California
were hopeless, but it was thought that
Washington might have been added TO
dry list.
The gain OF three States in one day is
highly gratifying to the temperance peo-
pie, who are encouraged by their victory
TO renewed efforts to relieve the whole
country of the curse of the liquor traffic.
