LOCAL TRAINS
TO Be OPERATED
BY ELECTRICITY
Plan Is Now Under
Consideration.

1t may not be long before the patrons
of the Southern Pacific Company's lines
between San Francisco and Oakland, Ala
media and Berkeley will have the pleasure
of riding on trains propelled with cleo
tricity instead of steam. The project of
converting the local lines mentioned into
electric roads has been under considera-
ton by the management of the Southern
Pacific Company for some time.
When the readjustment of the local
tracks on the Oakland mole was made
recently the probable change to electric
ity was kept in view. The work was done
in such manner as to occasion the least
possible outlay and inconvenience when
the conversion is made
The plans have progressed to the ex-
tent of having an eminent expert from.

considered during the presence of Presi-
dent Huntington and the other Eastern
directors in this city.
While the first cost of the transforms
ton will be in the neighborhood of 81 ,000,-
000 the cost of operation will be about
one-half under an electric system of
what it is by steam.
With the inauguration of the electric
system will also probably come the TWEEN
ty-minute ferry service This has not
been put in up to the present time owing
to the greatly increased expense that
would necessarily be incurred, as both
the ferry boat and train service would
have to be increased so per cent and the
present traffic is said not to warrant this
added expenditure. Twenty minute boats
are now occasionally run, when particu-
larly heavy traffic is expected, but with
a big saving possible in the operation of
the train service it is likely that the more
frequent service will become-a regular
thing, at least in the early morning and
evening hours, when the traffic is heav-
lest.

How to- Find Out.

Fill a bottle or common glass with
your water and let it stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys;
if it stains your linen. it is evidence of
kidney trouble: too frequent desire to
pass it or pain in the back is also con-
vincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out of order.

District Meeting of the German Baptists.
During the present week this office
has printed for the German Baptists
of the Western District of Maryland
the minutes of the district meeting
which was held at Pine Grove church,
near Accident. on Thursday, April
9th, at which representatives from
nearly every congregation in the dis
trict We're present. The meeting was
presided over by Rev. l. W. Aber-
nathy as moderator; reading clerk,
Rev. |. o. Thompson; secretary, Rev.
James w. Beeghly.
The financial condition of the treas
ury shows a balance on hand amount
ing to $3.50.
The report of the secretary of the
home mission board, Rev. James w.
Beeghly, is as follows:
'Since our organization September
y, 1898, we have held two meetings
of the BOard-first in Oakland Novem-
Der 10Th; second in Pine Grove church
April 26th. AT our first meeting we
decided that owing to the scarcity of
funds we could not establish at pres
ent any permanent mission point,
but to urge upon all the ministers Of
the district to visit all remote parts
of the different congregations, do all
the work possible by visiting, preach
ing, distributing tracts, Messengers,
etc, and that this be done gratis
accordingly several pOins were Wis
tied, viz Eriendsville, Manor Lands,
Selbysport, Backwoods, etc. The in
terest was good, especially at the last
two named places. AT our last meet
ing the Board requested of the Elders
of each congregation to preach and
have preached annually several mis-
siOnary sermons and hold collections
for missionary funds and also instruct
the Deacons TO solicit on each visit
each member for the benefit of the
Home Missions. Elder w I. Sines
was elected as District Missionary at
%f.00 per day and car fare.
1--WE see much to do. Truly the
harvest is great but the labOrers few,
therefore we, as your Board of Home
Mission-work, earnestly ask the CO.
operation of the entire district by
your prayers, your sympathies as well
as your means in the noble work of
spreading the Gospel at home"
One portion of the report of the
meeting is especially interesting to
the people of Oakland it being the
intention of the members of the
church to erect a house of worship
here, The site for the building has
already been donated by Messrs. Fred.
A. Thayer and A. g. Sturgiss on their
property in the east end of town.
The next district meeting will be
held at Fairview on the first Satur-
day in May, 1900.

Excitement at Elkins.

The widest excitement prevailed at
Elkins Saturday afternoon that mar
rowly escaped eliminating in what
might have been a bloody battle.
The Elkins contingent in the county
seat contest, claiming the Court hav-
ing ordered the removal of the records
from Beverly TO their town, took steps
to takethe capital by storm. So Satur-
day afternoon from three to four humid
red men organized themselves into an

THE democratic papers pass lightly
oyer the fact that the year has been
the banner trade year since the com
mencement of the government. Such
news is not consistent with calamity
bowling and does not make good cam
paign democratic literature. 1t can
be noticed too, that at none of the
jefferson, or rather Bryan, banquets
was any reference made to advance
in wages or other signs of prosperity.
One of the greatest accomplishments
of Mr.. Bryan and his co-talkers is
their ability to sweep unhesitatingly
past all prosperity signs and placards
staring them in the face.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1899-05-11

affairs properly, he is sure to succeed.
Taking all things into consideration
there is no pursuit in life so independ-
ent as that of farming.
The farmer does not have to go or
come at the sound of bell or whistle.
He is the manager and director of his
own business and is controlled by
his own wishes. He may set out trees
and shrubs about his home, making
it as attractive and pleasant as his
taste may dictate. No home can be
made more delightful and sweet than
the farm home under the manage
ment of the tasty farmer and his
assistants.
The wages received by the city man
often seems to the farmer to be large
and out of proportion TO the price
received for the products of his own
toll. But when he comes to consider
the heavy expense the city man is
under in paying house rent, fuel, light
and the other npcessaries of life he
realizes that he has cause for congrat-
ulation. And there are now thous-
ands in the city who regret that they
ever left the farm.
To compare the average city mans
surroundings with those of a we'll
kept farm is enough to convince any
one that the farm is the better place
in which to rear family and that it
can easily be made the pleasanter
home. The green fields and the fra
grant woods may be enjoyed to the
fullest extent. The sweet songs OF
the birds are heard in the early morn
ing and during the working hours,
and there is delight in looking after
the domestic animals and seeing them
grow. The field work, although at
times somewhat hard, is, on the
whole, agreeable, and often fascina-
ting; never mOnOtonous, as are many
kinds of mechanical work. After the
days work is done then come the
pleasant evenings around the family
tireside, when every one can do their
part in making all happy. There is
great degree of satisfaction in pro
ducing what we need to live on.
Wholesome fruits and vegetables can
be grown that cannot be had in the
city usually, because when they reach
the consumer in the city they are
frequently stale For the real com
forts of life there is no place like the
old country home.

Laughlin of Buffalo, "was born to meet

it gave to the world a Lincoln. The

friend of labor and the oppressed.

Of the hall.
Laughlin reiterated his statement
and pointed to the protective tariff by
way of proof. There was more inter-
ruption and Laughlin lost much of his
time in berating the audience for q
lack of courtesy.
George Fred Williams covered much
ground. He expressed un bounded con-
fidence in the democracy. giving rea.-
ons for the faith that is within him.
His plea for Bryan and the Chicago
platform was we'll received.
He said the democratic party was
founded upon the idea that govern
ment should not create favorites and
special beneficiaries The tederslist
party accepted the plan of the repub-
lican party. which, he said, seeks with
out concealment to corrupt the priv
ileged classes and ally them with the
government.
The last tariff bill, he continued, was
handed over to be framed
by its Denefcisries. The present
scheme to enlarge the power of the
tire regulation of our monetary system
is merely Hamilton's plan many times
