It was participated in by all classes. Wheat made a jump of ten cents in Chicago yesterday. The price went up as bitfh as $1 31 a bushel. Richmond dealers are now paying $1.10 for wgon wheat All farm products are advancing. After a long depiession farming is at last on top. General Harrison was in no Lurry to express himself on the war, but when he did speak it was with go uncertain sound, and with that clearness of diction for which his speeches are noted. His brief summary of our cause for war with Spain was an un answerable argument. Spain's most serious job just now is to prevent revolution at home. The poor queen regent, who had been misled by her advisers to believe that Spain could cope with the Uuitcd States in a wir, will probably soon have to flee from her own people. She has worse enemies than "the enemy." It is at last decided says the Indianapolis Journal that Washington is to be the place whete the Indiana troops will rendezvous. This final information came to General McKee from Senator Fairbanks in Washington, stating that on the day that the muster of the Indiana troops is completed the whole brigade will be shipped a1 once to Washington tor further orders. This morning's Cincinnati Enquirer says: "The Enquirer's dispatch boat bearing the report of an eyewitness of the battle of Manila has not reached Hong Kong as expected. Tnis would seem to indicate momentous occurrences." It is barely possible that the Enquirer's "eyewitness" met with the fate of Jonah and that he will not be heard from till the whale becomes skk on its stomach. Today began the mustering of the state troops at Camp Moant into the United Sta'es service. There has been a good deal of unpleasant talk about the matter and more or less disgraceful action. If the Indiana boys meant to go to war when they enlisted there is no good reason why they should object to being mustered into the United States service. The government should have supreme control over all the troops in the field. The mustering into the United States seryice does not mean joining the regular army. The men are mustered in for two years and at the end of that time will be discharged if not sooner.

MAYOR MILLER

Of Westminster, Maryland. Was marlv Richmond Boj No Oppsaltion. For These two" it ems, published in recent issues of the Baltimore American explain themelv?s: Westminster, Maryland, May 2. The annual election for mayor and city councilmen of this city was held today and passed off very quietly. I he citizens' ticket nominated a week ago was unopposed, and consequently a light vote was cast, the candidate for mayor receiving 227 votes and those foi councilmen 221 to 227. The officers elected are: Mayor, Fred D. Miller; councilmen, John It. Saylor, Emanuel I). Whitmore, F. Thomas Babylon, Ehaa W. Ourster, Orlando tteese. . Mr. Fred D. Miller, who was elected mayor of this city, was born in Rich mond, Indiana, January 10, 1SC0. After the death of bis father and mother he came to Westminster in June, 1880, with his younger brother, Mr. Fraak Z. Miller, and they resided with their grandmother. Mrs Jesse Iteifsnider.until her decease. While at tending school Mr. Miller also gave his attention to business, for which be ex hibited remarkable aptitude. He acted as salesman in a dry goods store for a time. and. in April. 1887, began the clothing and men's furnishing business, with his brother, Frank, as his partner. In 1804 they added the dry goods trade to their business, and now have large double stores, each 22x150 feet, two stores, in the Albaugh block. east Mam street, near the railroad. Mr. Miller has always been a progres sive business man, ana is laenuaea with every public business enter prise for the advancement oi the interests and the improve ment of this city. He is an active member of the Reformed church, a Mason, Knight of Pythias, member of the Independent order of Mechanics, and Royal Arcanum. He is married to a daughter of Charles H. Fulton, of Walkersvule, Frederick county, and they ..ave three interesting little chil dren. Mr. Miller is a nephew of Messrs. John L. Reifsnider and Charles T. Reifsnider, two of the most prominent residents of this city. THE WEST END. And Soma of tbe Doings of That Part of the County From the Cambridge City Tribune. Charles Chrisman, the genial land lord of the Huntington house, Rich mond, is expected to arrive at Laceey's trotting park with his stable of horses this week. They wiil be in charge of Abe Starr. The track here beiog preerred to the Richmond track, which is not being kept up in condition for training purposes.. It was cruel of a Cambridge City young man, who asKed a young lady at a party recently if she was of Cuban ancestry. She thought he referred to her large dark eyes, and was Battered. but he was renlly thinking of her nejk, which was like that of a recqncentrado. The state fish commissioner has his eyes on Wayne county, and when he pays it a visit in a short time, it is thought that a number of violators will be brought to justice. Tb riMM th two. UuU nw of Park Lackey and wife, that died in Chicago, five or six years ago, were taken up and shipped here and buried n the Lackey family lot, on last ri day. Cora Devers, a notorious character known in this county, and wife of John Brown, of Dublin, is the woman in the casa of murder at Rushville, on las-t Sunday afternoon. It was a drunken free-for-ail fight, in which several persons were hurt, and Jacob Peckinbaugh lost his life and William Heliog suffered fatal injury by being hit on the head with a beer faucet. The entire party has been placed under arrest. Rather a singular fire occurred in our town on Monday forenoon, which might have resulted in a serious conflagration. One of the large oil tank beloujing to the Standard Oil com pany was delivering gasoline to Frank Frohnapfel. The team was in charge of Mr. Welch, of Connersville, who was carrying the gasoline in buckets, while his little thiiteen year old son, was attending to filling the buckets. A son of John Byrum's came past the wagon aud thoughtlessly lighted a match and threw it into the bucket In an instant the whole rear end of the tank and gasoline was enveloped in a IHiue. The son of Mr. Welch proved himself a hero by plunging into the n -une and shut off the gasoline. His clothing was set on fire, and before the fire could be extinguished his right hand, arm and leg were quite severely barned. He was cared for and sent home on the Lake Erie tra-n. The tire department responded promptly and soon had the fire under control. The carelessness of the boy throwing the match is inexcusable, and he should be made to learn a lesson from it. Mi I ton.

"Disease fastened its clutches upon her and for for seven years she withstood its severest tests, but her vital organs were undermined and death seemed imminent. For three months she coughed incessantly and could not sleep. She finally discovered a way to recovery by purchasing a bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery for consumption, and was so much re lieved on taking the first dose, that she slept all night and with two bottles has been absolutely cured.

An electric inotor will furnish the power by which tbe saw is to be rctated, and this can be -ebnt (iff or applied in an instant by the use of a foot lever. Tbe principle of tbe saw, says the New York World, is much the same as that of the familiar electric excavating tool nsed by dentists. and tbe advantages of its use are quite as apparent. When the dentist's rotary excavator was first introduced, many people objected to its use. The thing certainly does have an ngly look and sound. But its great advantage over band chisels, tbe rapidity with which it operates and the delicacy with which it can be controlled soon made its use practically universal. Here and there an old fashioned dentist still excavates by band, but they are tbe exception. Tbe surgical saw is mounted on a next ble shaft like that cf tbe dentist's xna chine, bnt cf course more powerful. handle enables tbe operator to direct its course, and by the use of an offset it can ' be, made to saw parallel with the shaft. It is noiseless in every part ex cept when in nse. The method 01 oper ation with the power saw will presnm ably be somewhat as follows: The pa tient ia laid npon the operating table, etherised and covered with a white cloth, except tbe part to be operated upon. Tbe saw, which has been treated sceptically to avoid tbe slightest dan ger of blood poisoning, stands with its little electric motor at tbe foot of the table. The limb is tightly ligatnred and tbe saw zzt! it is all over. By the; old method a tiny handsaw was nsed. Inevitably as it was drawn and pushed back and forth it disturbed the position of tbe limb operated npon aud lacerated the flesh more or lees. The power saw will operate more quickly and without disturbing tbe steady posi tiou of the patient. Besides it is claim ed that tbe heat generated by it will sear tbe Lone tissue and hasten the proc ess cf healing by the important first hour of vascular change following tbe operation by the old method. M. Lancereaux wbo is one of tbe greatest living authorities on the action SCP.GICAL BCZZSAW. of alcohol, savs The Medical Record, has lately aicafaSa opinion with regard to the trae c&ane or drinkers cirrrjosts. Vlii ooncinBic-ns are deduced irotn per sonal observations of 210 persons a dieted to drink in Paris. M. Lancereaux disputes the statement that tbe nsnal cause of cirrhosis is tbe consumption of an excess of alcohol, but says it is due to drinking large quantities of wine, and especially red wine. He lavs tbe blame upon the potassium salts, and gives tbe results of certain experiments made npon animals. By means of these experiments it was proved that potas sium salts when administered to ani mals usually killed in from 15 to IS months and cirrhosis was discovered in tbe majority of tbem. M. Lancereaux demonstrated by other experiments the fact that alcohol taken, in excess pro duced fatty degeneration of the hepatic cells and subsequently fatty cirrhosis. The final conclnsions arrived at from this series of experiments were that wine, and plastered wine in particular. is tbe cause cf atrophicirrhosis. A ptomaine is a product of tbe process of putrefaction. Very often, perhaps generally, says tbe New lork Tribune, that process is not far enough advanced to off-md either the taste or the sense of smell. Consequently suspicion is not excited and a person eats or drinks fcoroething which contains enough of this baleful element to make a great dad of trouble. The discovery of the ex istence, nature and origin of ptomaines has thrown new light en other maladies than those for which they are responsi ble. When it first became known that certain diseases were dne to a variety of bacillus, it was supposed that tbe bacillus performed its baleful work in a MOTHER! There is no word so full of meaning and about which such tender and holy recollections cluster as that of " Mother she who watched over our helpless infancy and guided our first tottering step. Yet the life of every Expectant Moth er is beset with danger and all effort should be made to avoid it. Mother's so assists nature in the change taking place that the Expectant Mother is enabled to look forward without dread, suffering or gloomy forebodintrs. to the hour when she experiences the joy of Motberfcoad. ts use insures saretv to the lives of both Mother and Child, and she is found stronger after than before confinement in short, it "makes Childbirth natural and easy," as so many have said.

While tbe discovery of the ptomaine, there fore, may not have materially moditied the method of treating what are known as bacterial diseases, it has- at least i . . ... ......... ; maue me tatter a more mteuigiuie procednre than before. According to Tbe Health Mutniziue, the almost universal habit of CToa&iug the leg at the knees while sitting is responsible for many ailments, as this authority claims that this practice "is at least one cause of cold feet, headache, varicose veins, ulcers and other troubles doe to poor circulation in tbe 1 jwer limbs. Tbe reason of this lies in the fact that just under the knee, where tbe greatest pressure comes in this posi tion, there are large veins, arteries and nerves, whose walls are pressed together, thus interfering more or less with the circulation and the sensation. It is said that women are more liable to acquire the habit than men, and it may be added that docbtless cue reason for this is the beigbt of ordinary chair seats." DEFENDED OLD PETER. General Banaia Voachrd For the Colored Man Who Had Set-ted Iliiu. General Barnuin of Abbeville had a body servant before the war wbo aped him in everything. Peter so loved hie master that he grew to talk like birn. He lives today, the heart of hospitality, tbe soul of honor. One Sundav two wbite men drove up to the door of his cabin and asked if he had any liquor in the house. He said he had about a quart. They offered to buy. He refused to sell, but, just as his old master would have done, invited them to have a drink. Having drunk, they banded him a half dollar. Of course, like his master, he declined tbe coin. The scoundrels went to town and swore out a complaint that he was violating tbe dis pensary law. I happened to be in Greenville the day the trial took place and paw a revelation. Peter's counsel was Gen eral Barnum'e son, adjutant general of the state under Governor John Gary Evans, and the chief witness for tbe defense was tbe general himself, wbo had coins! from Abbeville, distant about 100 miles, to eay a word for his former slave. The general took the stand, and his son said: "What is your name?" "I am General Barnum, sir." "Where do you reside " "In Abbeville, f?ir." "How long have you known the defendant!" ! "Sixty-five year9, sir." "What is his reputation?" "As good as any man's in this courtroom, eir." " Would you trust him 1" ! "Trut Peter! Why, I'd trust him with my life, my honor 1" The jury didn't leave their seatss. I The scene "sorter touched me im." ! ' I met young Barnum and a&ked If he received anything for bis services. "Accept a fee from Peter f " he eaid in amazement. "Why, mir. I'dai noon tbiuk of charging My fa ther." " You and your father came 10C miles to clear this old negro f " " 5Tes, and we wrould have come 1.0C0 or 10,000. Old Peter was a sec ond father to me. He raised ine. When I was well, he played with me. When I was ill, he nursed me. When was a boy, I'd rather sleep in Pe ter's cabin than in my own btxl at home. I'd rather take a snack with Peter in those days than dine with the president." I'm afraid we Yankees don't un derstand the "nigger" questiou yet New York Press. Postal Card Kales. ihnfty persons who use postal cants should take care not to waste tbeir pennies and incur the ineon veniences of a lost mvfEsage bv lack of attention to the government or der, "Write only the address on this side. To be sure, it has been ruled in Washington that tbe business of the person addressed may be indicated without causing the card to be thrown out, but there are oth er chances of exclusion to guard against. The Washington corre spondent of tbe New Y'ork Post tells of an unfortunate patron of the postoffice who wrote on a rostal card bearing an important message, "Tlease deliver as addressed." The postal card was promptly rejected by the first official that saw it. and the message, of course, was not deliver ed, yet the request was a necessary direction, indicating that the card that bore it was not to be forward ed. It appears, therefore, that postal cards, though useful for some purposes, are not as trustworthy as communications which bear the 2 cent stamp. They have this drawback also when they are thrown ont the sender gets no notice of it. Another postal device which some times defeats the end for which it is nsed is the special delivery stamp. If a letter with one of these stamps on it gets to a post office late in the evening, but before tbe office is closed, one attempt is made to deliv er it, but if it fails the letter goes into the mail, and its final delivery is apt to be later than if no 10 cent stamp was put on it.
