THE GIBRALTAR OF FROSTBURG FINANCE. From the Cumberland Daily News. To enumerate the towns in the Unit- ed States of the population of Frost- burg in the proud possession of a million-doliar banking institution, does not necessitate the use of a compto- meter to arrive at a quick and accurate conclusion, and while comparatively not as rare as the proverbial hen’s tooth or the auk’s egg, those cities can be numbered on the fingers with a puerile and primitive hop-o-my-thumb process of calculation. It is a distine- tion of no trivial character from a fi- nancial sense, which Frostburg enjoys in the possession of The First National Bank, with its resources of $1,279.096.63, its deposits of $1,103,667.51 and its law- ful money reserve of $109,242.70 as at- tested by the last official statement, is- sued in pursuance to the call of the Comptroller of the U. 8. Treasury and published in detail on the ninth page of this issue. The First National Bank of Frost- burg, owes its present prominence, in- fluence, power and wealth in great de- gree to the constant supervision, con- servative methods, tireless energy and unquestioned ability and integrity of two men, one of whom, the late Marx Wineland, bas been summoned to his eternal reward. Mr. Wineland as the president of the bank had for his as- sistant, in the capacity of cashier, Mr Roberdeau Annan, and the two never lost sight of an apportunity to further the interests of the institution they had determined to push forward with their best endeavor. Upon the death of Mr. Wineland, Mr. Annan succeeded to the presidency, and his splendid ability as a financier, became even more manifest than in previous years, The directorate of the First National of Frostburg is one that men of finance and the public in general agree is of The minstrel show in the opera house, | which followed closely after supper, | unusual strength. It includes the president of the institution, Mr. Rober- deau Annan; his father, Mr. Daniel Annan, the president of the Second National Bank of Cumberland; Judge Robert R. Henderson, of the Circuit Court, and a recognized financier; Mr, Duncan Sinclair, superintendent of the New Central Coal Co. operating in Allegany county, and near Fairmont, ‘W. Va.; Dr. Timothy Griffith, a promi- nent Frostburg practitioner and pro- gressive citizen, lately elected a mem- ber of the county board of road direc- tore. The cashier is Mr. Olin Beall. DIPHTHERIA IS CON- TRACTED. One often hears the expression, “My child caught a severe cold which de- veloped into diphtheria,” when the truth was that the cold had simply left the little one particularly susceptible to the wandering diphtheria germ. When Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is given it quickly cures the cold and lessens the danger of diphtheria or any other germ disease being contracted.

What was probably one of the mest peculiar cases ever tried in the crimi- nal courts of this county was that in which Howard Moore, of Windber, charged Thomas Delehunt, Burgess of Windber, with assault and battery. Burgess Delehunt also entered counter charges of resisting an officer. In August, 1907, Moore was Standing on the corner of Thirteenth street and Graham avenue, at Windber, talking with. his sister. Burgess Delehunt came up and inquired how long How- ard Moore had been standing there. “It’s none of your —— business,” re- plied Moore, hotly. ~ Burgess Delehunt seized Moore, ac. cording to testimony, and informed him that he was under arrest “for that piece of impudence.” Moore and Bur- gess Delehunt wrestled about and fell, where they grappled with each other for a period of 20 minutes, according to testimony. A police officer then came upon the scene and placed Moore under arrest. All these facts were brought out in the trial. After some deliberation the jury re- turned a verdict of not guilty in the case for resisting an officer, brought by Delehunt against Moore, and a verdict of guilty in the charge of assault and battery against Delehunt, Moore being the prosecutor. The costs in both cases were placed on Delehunt. These costs will probably amount to $200. AGREEABLY SURPRISED.

Some of the accounts of the Monon- gah mine disaster betray a profound ignorance on the part of the enterpris- ing reporters of the character of mine gases. The statement has been repeatedly made, for example, that the terrible loss of life was due to the explosion of black damp. This is impossible. Black-damp does not explode. The principal gases found in coal mines are: : BAACK-DAMP or choke-damp, corbon dioxide, heavier than air, suffocating, but not inflammable. WHITE-DAMP, carbon monoxide, about as heavy as air, poisonous and inflammable, FIRE-DAMP, composed chiefly of car- buretted hydrogen, light, not poisonous, but very inflammable. SULPHURETTED HYDROGEN may also be present. It is poisonous and in- flammable, but is readily detected by its odor. Fire-damp is simply a form of nat- ural gas. Mixed with air in certain proportions, it explodes violently. If the air is impregnated with coal dust, a smaller proportion of gas will make the mixture highly explosive. Black-damp and white-damp are usu- ally generated in worked-out areas known as “gob.” These gases are also the chief constituents of after-damp, the gases resulting from an explosion of fire-damp. After-damp usually kills more people than the actual mine ex- plosions. It will probably be found that many of the Monongah ‘victims died from this cause rather than from the shock or burns incident to the ex- plosion. The Monongah mine was a “dry” mine, and was always considered non- gaseous; but it was doubtless dusty, and a small percentage of fire-damp combined with the dust would cause the explosion. It is possible that this insidious gas, which is odorless and elusive, had gathered in the mine for some time, unnoticed and unsuspected, until its ignition in some particular spot exploded the combination of dust and gas in one mighty sheet of flaming death, and that those who escaped the flames and wreckage fell a prey to the deadly after-dump. — Connellsville Courier. A HOME MADE HAPPY BY CHAM- BERLAIN’S COUGH REMEDY. About two months ago our baby girl had measles which settled on her lungs and at last resulted in a severe attack of bronchitis. We had two doctors, but no relief was obtained. Everybody thought she would die. I went to eight different stores to find a certain remedy which had been recommended to me, and failed to get it, when one of the storekeepers insisted that I try Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. 1 did so and our baby is alive and well to- day.—Geo. W. Spexce, Holly Springs, N. C. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy always cures and is pleasant and safe to take.

In commenting on the labor situation at Goldfield, Nevada, the Connellsville Courier gets off the following sensible remarks: We read that the Goldfield miners “refused to be goaded into violence by the presence of the soldiery.” As the troops are sent there to uphold the laws and are strictly non-partisan factors of the mining dispute, we fail to see why the miners should be “goaded” or why they betray any particular virtue in behaving themselves as good citizens ought todo. The news dispatches from Goldfield read as if they were sent out by a labor union bureau. To the foregoing Tre Star wishes to add that whenever a set of strikers re- sort to general outlawry, they usually plead justification, and when" they ob- serve the law by keeping the peace, their leaders usually take great credit unto themselves and their fellow strik- ers. The fact is, outlawry is never justifiable, and no strikes are ever won by resorting to crime and violence. Neither is there any particular praise due people for being peaceable and law-abiding, for that is a matter of common duty and for the best interests of all. Troops are never sent out to “goad” strikers into violence, but to re- strain them from it, and no man who wants to observe law and order ever feels outraged by the presence of troops. Praise for merely doing one’s common duty is not a matter of im- portance; but it is a matter of great importance to protest property and human life, and bring speedy and just punishment to those who resort to crime and violence. PUBLIC SPEAKER INTERRUPTED. Public speakers are frequently in- terrupted by people coughing.
