Dardanelles. the fate Of the straits Is
today hanging in the balance, accord

The report of the British admiralty

CAPT. JAMES HAYDEN AND
MR.E. C.HARVEYFOR HOUSE.
Rev. Samuel A. Miller An Espirant
for Judicial HonorS.

Many people throughout Garrett
county will be surprised to learn that
Capt. James A. Hayden of Mountain
Lake Park, the founder of The Republi-
can, is an aspirant for the nomination
on the Republican ticket for the House
of Delegates, his announcement, along
with that of MIR. Elliott C. Harvey, of
District No. 8, a member of the last
House of Delegates, appearing in this
paper today.
Capt. Hayden has been resident of
Garrett county since along in the early
seventies, when he came here from
Pennsylvania, finding employment as a
printer with the old Garrett County
Herald, which position he held until
1877 when The Republican was estab-
lished by him and which he controlled
until 1890 when he sold out to the pres
ent owner. Since the formation of the
Republican party Capt. Hayden has
ever been interested in Its success and
enjoys to the fullest the confidence and
respect Of every one in the county.
Capt. Hayden is veteran of the Civil
War, in which he did effective service
for the stars and stripes, and was pro-
NOTED from the ranks to be captain of
his company ere he had reached his
twenty-first birthday anniversary. He
endured all the hardships common to
the soldiers life, participated in numer-
GUS important campaigns and battles,
and was twice taken prisoner by the
enemy, spending thirteen months in
Libby Prison, He was first captured
at Gaines Mills and the second time
at the battle of the Wilderness.
His bravery and distinguished gallantry
in the aboye-named engagements won
for him substantial honors from his
superiors. Among other engagements
in which he participated were those of
Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, etc. The
people of Garrett county would have a
WOI thy representative dI AlludpOllS III
the person of Capt. Hayden.
Mr.. Elliott C. Harvey is known as
one of the substantial members of the
last House. He stood firmly for all
good legislation and used his most earn
est endeavors to kill all bills that were
of a vicious nature. AS champion of
the Speicher Local Option Bill in the
House he stood at the front and by his
influence with his associate members Of
that body he succeeded in having the
measure passed without amendment.
His service to his constituents of Gar
rett county should commend him to a
second term, as their interests will be
safe in his hands.
Rev. Samuel A. Miller, minister of
the German Baptist church of Accident,
announces his candidacy for the nomi-
nation of Judge of the Orphans Court
Mr.. Miller has had considerable ex-
perience in settling estates as executor
or administrator and is well qualified to
perform the duties that will fall to his
lot should he be successful at the polls.

ltv that work on the Buxton plant will
be resumed under contract in a few
days and this mine, which suspended
improvements last fall, when complet-
ed with electric haulage and equipment,
will be the only modern and up-to-date
plant in this region. The power house.
with motors and other necessary ma
chinery, was installed last fall. The
mine has two openings of the small
seams coal, the Aft. and the eft. prac-
tically the same seams that were work
ed at The original Buxton mine, only
opened in new location about one
mile above the mouth of Savage river
and opposite the town of Bloomington.
The coal will be carried over tram
way finished last fall to be operated by
electricity and carried to the old Buxton
plane and tipple where 1t will be de-
lIvered as heretofore to the W. M. R.
R. This is certainly good news to the
mining and business population of

West Virginia is going through the
same experience we of Garrett county
endured. The Leader of Grafton, says;
The dog catcher is abroad in the land,
having made his annual bow to the
public several days ago. Yearly this
farce is enacted when along about May
1st great activity is manifested in
municipal circles and the death warrants
of all dogs running at large without
tags are signed and sealed, and for
a couple of weeks the temperature runs
high, few dogs are killed and some
little coin of the realm collected from
willing contributors to the city Golfers.
But it is a noticeable fact that the
great majority of the owners of dogs
pay no taxes on them and the great
majority of exempted CANNES escape
entrance into the dark deep valley.

FROM OAKLAND TO THE
PANAMA EXPOSITION
An Interesting Letter From Senator
Speicher.

By courtesy of a friend, we are
permitted to use the following letter
from Senator Speicher, mailed at En-
poria, Kansas: We arrived at ST..
Louis, Mo-. APO o. M, Friday. There
were automobiles at the station wait
ing to take US on a sight seeing trip
over the city and through its public
parks. We enjoyed the ride and the
city very much. We had dinner at the
famous Planters Hotel. The residential
portion of the city is fine. A great
number of automobiles were seen on
the streets.
We left st. Louis at 9:l0 p. M. arriv-
ing at Kansas City $40 a. M. Saturday
morning. A fine breakfast was served
in the swell restaurant in the union de-
pot. The bill of fare was, grape fruit,
ham and scrambled eggs, rolls, spring
chickens on toast. potatoes, wheat
cakes and syrup and plenty of coffee and
good milk.
Our special left Kansas City 9:20 a.
m. We travelled through some very
fine country. wheat. corn and hav were
the principle crops in this section. |
was informed by the official who had
charge Of our train from Kansas City,
Mo-, to Emporia. Kansas, that the
farmers are all well to do and that
there is an automobile to every five
families.
The crops look fine. We noticed
some farmers planting some corn.
Everybody was busy, busy, busy. We
reached Emporia, lib miles from
Kansas City, at 1910 D. m. This was
the end Of railroad division, and is a
town of 1900 souls. We were told
that out of 500 employees of the A. &
I. S. Fee r. R, there has been only
one man discharged for drunkenness in
the last ten months.
| was informed that it was impossi-
BILE to get drink of liquor in the town.
No bootlegging at all. | hope the
time is not far distant when we can say
the same, not only of Oakland, but of
the entire State of Maryland.
At 1915 p. m, We left Emporia, and
passed through what is known as the
cattle section of Kansas. We are due
to arrive at Newton, at 40 p. M, a
distant of II miles. We will take our
lunch at that city.
After leaving Newton we strike the
great Kansas wheat belt, of which
will give you a description later. We
have very jolly delegation, all seem tC
be enjoying the trip very much.
Governor Goldsborough is looking ex-
ceptionally well and says that he is
feeling fine. We are pleased with the
special train given US for our journey
So far everything has been all that
could be asked for.

CHURCH WILL GET G1694.35.
This Amount Comes From the Estate
of Miss GroshOn of Frederick.

The first and final account of the
executor of the last will and testament
of Miss erosion, of Frederick, who
devised the sum of $4,000 to St. Mark S
Ev. Lutheran church of Oakland, was
filed and passed in the Orphans Court
of Frederick county on last Friday.
The statement of the executor showed
that the costs of the litigation over the
will amounted to the sum of $4,000,
which amount came out of the estate
and decreased the proportionate shares
of the devisees, the amount to the local
church being cut from the original sum
of $4,000 to that of 81, 694 35. which
will be IN the hands of the church
treasurer within the next few days.
