Our community was somewhat
startled on Saturday afternoon by the
news Of the death of the Hon. james
Laird, congressman from this dis
trict. Mr.. Laird had hundreds of
friends and admirers in this city and
county who will feel greatly grieved
owe, his premature death. He was .
soldier true, and the G.. A. r. boys
had become used to looking upon
him as q great leader, all Of which he
was, Fever letting an opportunity
pass to help the boys who wore the
blue. He was q whole-souled genial
man, whose big heart went out in
sympathy to the distressed, in fact
he wal one Of the people. Lofty po-
sitions in life did not bother his head
to that extent that he could not ap-
preciate where the honors came from
that were thrust upon him time after
time. He appreciated ali Of those
things, and his elevation to such high
and responsible places did not make
him feel above his fellow man, hence
his Thousands Of friends and admir-
ers among all classes rich and poor.
Alas! he's gone, the angel of death
has come and taken one of the shin
ing lights of our state. Let his body
rest In peace while his memory will
be ever cherished By those who knew
him best. He was a brave soldier, a
noble man, a true patriot and a citi-
zen of inestimable worth. Thus the
bright and promising career of James
Laird is suddenly cut short by the
hand of'death. Peace be to his ash

In another place il to-daY's CHIEF
will be found an article taken widen
fly from . Hastings paper in regard
to our Jail. in which Chas. Gather is
spoken Of as having been in that city
and while there took the opportunity
to investigate the Pauly Jail contract
With Adams county. The article
states that the company put cells in
the Hastings Jail and more of them
for less money than they put them in
for our county. This would be rather
misleading if it was not known that
the company built jail and all here,
while we understand, tiey furnished
only the cells there. The CHIEF
thinks the board got a better job and
get it IS cheap As they would have
done had they taken regular bids for
same from various companies. We
presume that the Jail company did
make . little money by reason of sub
letting the contract to home parties
Who bid very low, in fact so low that
it is doubtful whether they will get
