the show one of that class which comes
very close to the people. This season
will be a busy one, and many high-class
attractions are billed. It is the intention
of the management to produce the very
highest class of Vaudeville, and dramatic
shows on the road. To do this citizens
of this vicinity should show their appre.
ciation by a liberal patronage, and we are
confident that Messrs. Hitchins and Por
ter will leave nothing undone to give
their patrons as good attractions in Frost
burg as they can witness in Cumberland.

Flying Fisli.’V.
i Flying fish are very voracious. In
' their turn they are preyed upon by
, barracudas, sharks, dolphins, billfish,
redfish and a hundred and one others.
Nature has colored the flying fish pro
tectively. The back is a deep blue,
merging into the blue of the seas they
frequent, so that they are invisible a
, few feet below the surface, while the
j underneath is a dazzling white, and to
t a fish that looks upward must merge
into the light falling on the sea. In ad
’ dition they possess the unique power
’ of flight. Flying fish are about seven
• inches long, and the spread of wings
- is about equal to their length. The
1 “wing” is of thin, gauzy substance,
f having stiffening sinews, like the fiber
of a leaf, to strengthen it.

The Authorities Were Rigrht
When the Van Amburg Show company
came to town they sought out the author
' ities and asked permission to run their
various games of chance in connection
with their circus. But to the everlasting
credit of our officers be it said the propo
-1 sition was turned down with a positive
“ No.”. This was as it should be, and
the authorities deserve the applause of the
. people of this vicinity for so doing, and
, show that they are trying at least to do
r their duty.
l
1 Team Stolen

the stables at Klondyke mines, where some

BASEBALL.
Thege Hits are Gathered from Various
Sources During; the Week.
BASE HITS
1 No more hot-air horns.
Perhaps the Cardinals want the second
hand pennant ?
Where will the next death-blow fail,
Cumberland or Frostburg?
The Pirates have been Sliipwrecked
not one of the crew was saved.
'There is no more wondering, wonder
ing, wondering in Cumberland.
The Cardinals will be the next to take
the road from whence there is no re
turneth.
Cardinals, you must conceed that the
Islanders are better ball players than
yourselves.
The Islanders must liaye a factory for
making “goose eggs.” Especially such as
are fit for Cardinals.
The Champions are nearing second
place—another week of good ball playing
will mean much for them.
Wonder what the fans and hot-air root
ers of Cumberland will say when the
Gardinals go last—yes, last ?
The Cardinals are reported seriously
ill and the doctor, at this writing, holds
out but little hope for their recovery.
*
We would suggest to the Cardinals,
when they play the Islanders, to use
“ slats.” You’ll have a better chance to
hit the (wind) ba’l.

Wants Mr. Atkinson Nominated
Frostburg, Md., August 21, 1905.
Mr. Editor Notwithstanding the
candidacy of Mr. J. H. Holzshu, of Cum
berland, for the nomination for County
Treasurer, I desire to say a few words in
behalf of a candidate from George’s
Creek. Mr. William Atkinson, ofLona
coning, who aspires* to this position is
> entitled to the best consideration of the
Republican voters of Allegany County.
. Mr. Atkinson is one of the most progres
sive citizens in this section apd is free
from all factional alliances. His business
training and experience equip him for
the position of County Treasurer and
' his qualifications are second tonone anv
where. Ido not reflect upon the ability
of either of his opponents when I say
that Mr. Atkinson is their equal in many
respects and has probably greater claims
upon his pirty at this time. He is a
gentleman of the highest integrity and
standing, and if nominated will bring
to the office a ripe experience and ma
ture good judgment in the performance
of his official duties. He is connected
with no political or financial combina
tions or institutions and will not be con
trolled by any power behind the throne.
Mr. Atkinson will make a most accept
able candidate, and if nominated will
surely be the recipient of the support of
all Republicans as well as hundreds of
independent voters. Taxpayer.
George S. Philips for Surveyor
Under the head “ political announce
ments,” you will find that of Geo. S.
Philips, of Frostburg. It is useless for us
to say anything regarding this candidate.
He has already been tried and not found
wanting. Mr. Philips has served as deputy
surveyor and during the past two years
has held the position of county surveyor,
which he lias filled to the satisfaction of
the people. Mr. Philips desires the sup
port of all Republicans at the coming
primaries for renomination. We do not
know of anyone who can fill this position
any better than this gentleman. It has
been stated in some quarters that Mr.
Philips is not a candidate, but this is not
true, hence this notice.
PROHIBITION CONVENTION
Call Issued By Chairman JLitlle To Nomin-
County Ticket —His Address
The nominating conventi >n of the
Prohibition Party of Allegany County is
heieby called to meet at Miller’s Hall,
Cumb‘rland, Md., Thursday, September
7th, 1905, at, 2 o’clock 'p. m , to nomi
nate a full county ticket, elect delegates
and alternates to the State Prohibition
Convention to meet in BAtimore, O d
Defenders Day, September 12th, anu
to transact such business as requires at
tention.
Nominations to be made are, for Sher
iff, State Senator, five members for the
'House of Delegates, Clerk County Com
missioners, Register of Wills and County
Treasurer.
The attention of the Prohibitionists of
the State is directed to Allegany County
for several reasons. This is now the
banner Prohibition County in the State,
and our State Chairman, who is also a
member of the National Executive Com
mittee, lives in this county. He will
tour the Eastern part of the State in the
interest of our cause, from Aug. 14,h to
the 26th inclusive.
We should hold the best political'con
vention ever held by our party in Alle
gany county, nominate a ticket in which
the people will have full confidence, and
then get to work to see that at least a
part of it is elected. The people are
expecting much of us this year. There
is political u ' rest on every hand. Party
fealty was never- held so lightly, the in
dependent vote was never so large, the
liquor traffic never so hurtful to the in
terests of the county and the sentiment
against the saloon never so strong.
These conditions invite our activity.
We have protected our organization in
the districts and precincts until we can
come together with unity and force, and
we trust you will permit nothing to de
tain you from the Convention. What at
titude do you think our party should
take on the Suffrage Amendment? A
large percentage of criminal cases in our
courts are against members of the colored
race. The crimes with which the ne
groes are so frequently charged are com
mitted almost invariably through ex
cessive use of intoxicating liquors. This
is true in almost every instance with
reference to criminal charges against
whites as well. What is the remedy?
Come and give us your yiews?
Let us as true patriots respond to the
duty of the hour. Make a note cf the
date, arrange to attend and bring o*hers
with you R. W. Litti.e,
County Chairman.

HE WANTED HIS $250.00.
How a Resident of Westernport, It U
Alleged, Was Swindled by Sharpers.
> r John Elias, an Armenian resident of
Westernport, this county appeared be
_ fore Magistrate John Chambers, of Frost
burg, Monday and through Attorney C.
G. Watson, made complaint against the
VanAmburg Show Company, charging
e them with taking the sum of SIOO from
him at Westernport, on Saturday. His
y story is, that among. the attractions he
a found a sweat-board in operation. He
8 and others played until he had spent $lO5
- and at the last turn of the wheel was told
8 lie and another man. standing by had won
e $250 each. The other man, who proved
'• to be one of the show agents was paid his
" money in cash, while Elias was informed
e that his paddle called for the payment of
8 SIOO before he could draw his prize.
r Not having the sum he went out to get-the
J money, which he borrowed from a fellow
- countryman. He went hack into the
1 tent with a check but was told that no
• checks would be taken, he went to the
1 hank and cashed the check came back
3 with the SIOO. which he threw down, de
-1 mantling his prize of $250. A row was
l started and the man operating the wheel
! grabbed up the SIOO and several others
grabbed Mr. Elias and shoved him out of
tent. After telling the story an attach
‘ ment was issued against the show people
• and Owen England, constable, was direct*
■ ed to serve the writ and take possession of
two white horses. Mr. Moore, one of the
showmen, appeared and moved to squash
, the attachment, alleging that they did not
: owe the money, nor did they run any
' gaming devices in connection with the
show. By agreement, argument on mo
tion was heard at seven o’clock before
Magistrate Chambers. According to the
evidence and for insufficient reason given
by Mr. Moore, the court over ruled the
motion. The attachment then stood re
turnable on September 18. Later, one of
the show agents appeared with a Frost
burg citizen as bondsman and filed a bond
for the amount of the suit and costs of
same until September 18, when the trial
comes up. The filing of this bond dis
solved the attachment and the show peo
ple were allowed to take their horses.
The case was watched with great interest
on account of the many little intricate
turns in the evidence and reasons alleged.
GOT THE FIRST PLATE.
Johnny Had It Clutched, but He Had
to Let Go.
President Roosevelt, on one of his
hunting tours In the Adirondacks,
spent a very long day in restless pur
suit of big game. At his urgent re
quest the guide conducted the party
to the netwest inn the wilderness af
forded.
Amusement was created in the presi
dential party when the chief executive,
whose identity had been kept a se
cret, was given a seat at the family
board. It was increased when huge
portions of corned beef and cabbage
were passed from the head of the
table, where sat the host. The first
plate to make its appearance was
heaped very high. ~lt reached a small
boy and got no further. The president
sighed to express his envy and disap
pointment.
“Johnny,” exclaimed the host sharp
ly, “that ben’t fer you; thet be fer the
stranger.”
Mtic-h to the amusement of all, the
president seized the rim of the plate on
one aide, while Johnny held the other.
There was a moment of doubt.
Then the president, softly and with
a twinkle in his eye, but with inexo
rable decision, leaned over and spoke
Into the red, resentful face of the hun
gry boy:
“Johnny,” he said, “let go.”
Johnny let go.—Success.
