Blunder Made in Letting a Contract
for Street Work.

BIunder Made in Letting a Contract
for Street Work.
SAN BERNARDINO, Jan. 27.-Somewhat
OF a sensation was caused in this city by
the discovery of the fact that contract
for paving Third street, recently awarded
by the City Trustees, was let under the
Nrooman Act and not under the Mat
thews Act, the former requiring payment
in full when the work is completed and
the latter giving ten years time at s per
cent. interest. Five blocks had been let.
involving the payment of about S62, 600.
None of it being business property, and
all being unproductive property, the
owners feel the pressure severely, and
are indignant that blunder should have
been made in letting the contract. The
property signed the petition to
pave, but with the understanding that
they would have ten years time in which
to pay for the same. Half a million dol
lars has been recently expended in street
work and other public Improvements.

lies candle made its last flicker to-day.
The death-bed had been surrounded al
most incessantly for weeks by those
dearest to him. In fact, only the family
and those very closely associated with
them have been permitted to see, or even
to hear from him, during the last days of
his life Trained journalists, calling into
requisition every honest means at their
command, resorting to every possible
means within the line of legitimate jour
nalism, kept a most watchiul eye on
every movement about the house in
which the distinguished patient breathed
his last. Naturally there was a DISPOSE
ton on the part of the family and physi-
clans to conceal the real condition, but
from time to time accurate information
was obtained and reported. 1t is safe to
say that few, if any, journalistic expert
ences since Grants illness could furnish
a more thorough example of watching
and waiting than this.
THE FUNERAL.
1t has been so far decided that services
will be held Monday forenoon. A public
funeral was suggested, but the wishes of
the family prevailed, and the ceremonies
will be of a private nature. They will be
at Presbyterian Church Covenant, where
DIR. Hamlin, who of1iciated at the minerals
of Mrs. Harrison and her father, will con-
duct the services. The remains will be
laid at rest in the beautiful Oak Hill
Cemetery, in Georgetown, which now
forms part Of Washington City, by the
side of his favorite son, Walker Blaine,
and his daughter, Mrs. Coppinger.
The body will not be embalmed Ifor
burial, the family obiecting to any dis
turbance of it. The casket will be of red
cedar, covered with black cloth, and
solid silver plate on top will contain the
following inscription:
James Gillespie Blaine; born January
81, 1880; died January 27, 1893.

In the last issue of the Herald,
attention Is called to the fact that
Gov. Sheldon refused to grant a
reQuisit,on in the case of Nick Nell
son, a fugitive from Day Co., the
reader being left to infer the rea-
sons Of the Governors so-refusing.
This, taken in connection with the
fact that q remnant of the ~lndepen.
dent party now located i'll the court
house, declares that he has Sheldon
now where he wants him, leads me
to call attention to the matter In
the columns OF your paper. The
Governor did not believe that the
demands OF justice were so urgent
at to call for a large expenditure of
the taxpayers money in bringing
back to Day County a person char
ged with a misdemeanor. In this
he will be upheld by a large major
ity of our thinking citizens. He
not only deserves the thanks Of the
people for this refusal, but also for
calling attenti n to n phase of
the administration of the Sheriff's
Office in this county and that is, in
regard to cases of petty malefactors
charged with misdemeanor. Lock
ed in the so-called "cooler" with
no especial precautions taken to
prevent their gaining liberty and
then a long chase into other states
and a requisition called for, a large
bill of expense incurred, with an
acquittal, or at the furthest. a SEN
tence of 80 or 60 days at the end.
This is the programme and the tax
payer "pays the freight" The
whereabouts of three other parties
wanted is well-known and had
the papers been granted in the Mel
son case, the same would have been
granted In these cases. 1t Is about
time that halt was called on the
mileage expenses and credit should
be given to the Governor for taking
q common sense view of this mat
ter, regardless of what our friend
in the court house is "a-going" to
do with him. An of proven
