Burglar Enters Store.
Object of His Visit Evidently
Ws Money. Not Toys.
Last Saturday night between the hour
of midnight and daylight Sunday morn
ing, Wiaotzkey Bros, confectionery stort
located in the Osier Building corner of
Church and W. Main streets, this place,
was broken into by some person or per
eons, entrance being made through a
window in an alley between the confec
tionery and bowling alley building.
The fact was not discovered until Mr
Emory Wisotzkey went to the store Sun
day morning. The intruder first broke ti
small pane of glass from the window and
then removed one of the mils which was
driven in the frame above the lower snsh,
the other being too tight to move. A
lever of some kind was then used to fore
the window up sufficient for a person to
crawl through.
One of the money drawers was broken
from the counter and was found on the
floor, the other drawer having been open
ed and all money, except a lead quarter,
removed.
Very little money had been left in the
drawers, a Columbian half dollar, a lot
of three cent coins and a lot of Lincoln
pennies, which were being kept as relics
being all the booty secured.
A number of watches, ring and other
jewalry hung close to where the money
drawers were located, but none of these
articles were disturbed. Nothing in the
store showed that it had been tampered
with.
It was reported that the burglar was
tracked in the snow, but as there was no
snow on the gJound, there could not he
any track in the snow.
Money, not toys and candy, seems to
have induced the person or persons to
enter the store.
A Good Record, This.
Big Sum Paid To Stall* By
Register of Wills, Thomas,
Samuel D. Thomas, Register of Wills
for Frederick County, has returned to j
to the Comptroller, excess fees of office
the sum of $1065.42-a rather unusual
performance for the Register of Wills
office.
The fact is Mr. Thomas has done a
number of unusual things. During his
incumbency he has returned into the
County Treasury the sum of $2542.0*5 on
account of levies made by the county
commissioners for an Index Clerk under
an old local law passed some years ago.
Mr. Thomas is the first Register of Wills
since the term of Dr. James K. Waters
of Thurmont, who has paid anything to
the county or state. It had been clearly
demonstrated by Dr. Waters and again
by Mr. Thomas, that the Register of
Wills office should not receive any ap
propriation from the county. Although
there was an attempt made to have the
law abolished by the last Legislature,
the Bill passed the Senate, hut the Fred
erick delegates killed it in the
House.
Mr. Thomas will likely be a candidate
to succeed himself as Register. Whether
he will receive the consideration due him
as an official who has performed his du
ties faithfully remains to be seen. The 1
public does not always recognize or re
ward faithfulness in office by public offi
cials.
Installed Electric Motor.
Since it has been made possible to have
electric current at all times in Thurmont
Mr. Peter N. Hammaker has installed in
the workshop at his marble yards an
electric motor. This motor is used to
pump air into a large steel tank, the air
pressure operating all tools used by his
workmen in cutting and carving marble
andgranite work. The use of compressed
air enables Mr. Hammaker’s workmen
to turn out more and a better quality of
work than by the old hand method. This
is the only electric motor and compressed
air plant operated at a marble yard in !
Frederick county.
Week of Prayer Services.
The Union Week of Prayer Services
will be held in Thurmont as usual, be- 1
ginning Monday, January 11, 1915. The \

Rev. Fox will preach in the Reformed
church; Rev. Beard in the Methodist,
and Rev. Heimer in the Lutheran church.
The churches will have their own reg
ular services on Sunday, January 10th
and 17th.
The Massachusetts forestry associa
tion offers as a prize the planting of

XMAS SHIPS HEAVILY LADEN.
American gifts carrying the spirit |
of peace mu earth, good will toward j
men ar • going to warring countries
of Europe in an unprecedented scale, I
despite the interruptions of oceanic
transportation.
Reports to tin- Postolliee Depart
ment show the steamer St. Paul, sail
ing Saturday, carried 300,000 pounds
of Christmas mail —the largest single
ocean mail shipment ever mad* —
which included 2,000 sacks contain- i
ing parcels for * I real Britain and Ire- j
land alone. By another ship a thous
and sacks were dispatched for tier
many and Austria, from which rca- j
sonahlc assurances of delivery have
been received.
FOREST NOTES,
White pine and yellow pine are the
woods most used for boxes, and each
contributes more than a billion feet
to the box industry annually.
The annual cut of British Colum
bia timber is approximately 2 billion
feet. There arc 120 mills and 790
logging camps in the province, em
ploying about (10,000 men.
The Boise national forest in Idaho
had 30 tires during the past summer,
yet 28 were held down to less than
10 acres, and of these 15 were less
than one-quarter of an acre. The
supervisor says this success was due
to a look-out tower, and to efficient
telephone and heliograph service.
Because of the war, English man
ufacturers and consumers of wood
pulp have caused considerable un
easiness. Production is at a stand
still in the countries at war, and in ;
Norway and Sweden, principal sources
of supply, mills have been greatly
i hampered because of a lack of coal
and of chemicals. England has prac
tically no domestic sources of pulp.
In northern Idaho and Montana,
which had many fires during the past
summer, 35 per cent of the tires on
national forests were caused by rail
roads, 2< per cent by lightning, and
10 per cent by campers. The remain
der were due to brush burning and
other miscellaneous or unknown
I causes.
! A mountain lion recently killed in
: the Grand Canyon game preserve,
| which adjoins the Tusayan national
' forest, measured ten feet from nose
jto tail. Mountain lions and other
j beasts of prey, such as wolves, wild
cats, and coyotes, are killed by forest
officers and game wardens because
j they are a menace to stock and to
game animals.
Sic k Headache.
I Sick headache is nearly always caused
by disorders of the stomach. Correct
them and the periodic attacks of sick
headache will disappear. Mrs. John Bish
op of Roseville, Ohio, writes: "About a
year ago I was troubled with indigestion
and had sick headache that lasted for two
or three days at a time. 1 doctored and
tried a number of remedies but nothing
helped me until during one of those sick
spells a friend advised me to take Cham
berlain’s Tablets. This medicine reliev
ed me in a short time.” For sale by all
dealers.

In loving remembrance of our dear son,

The depths of our sorrow we cannot tell,
The loss of our dear son we loved so well,

His memory we shall always keep.

When we are all alone,
For memory is the only friend
That grief can call its own.
