arrest by deputy sheriff E. L. Stitely.

Adam Roser. At first he denied knowl-
edge of the affair. but after being hard
pressed and reminded of the mud on his
clothing, confessed. He was taken to
Frederick and placed in Jail.
On being questioned as to why he COM
mtted such crime, he said that he
wanted the money.

or Mort, of Woodsboro, for some time as
carpenter. He always was of jovial
disposition, and had large circle of
friends in this part of the county. He is

Why Consultation Injures.

The bowels are the natural sewerage
system of the body. When they become
obstructed by constipation part of the
poisonous matter which they should carry
off is absorbed into the system, making
you feel dull and stupid, and interfering
