The new Presbyterian church at Flora
Vista is to be 24x4O feet in size and a
very pretty structure. IT will be built Of
lumber. Rev. j. r. Cooper drew the
design and he has had considerable ey-
perisncs in church building and the re-
suit will be an edifice OF which The
community at Flora Vista can be proud.
Work will be commenced Immediately.
Statements in certain quarters to the
contrary Notwithstanding the reappbint.
ment Of Judge John r. McFie to his
present position is desired by nine-tenths
OF the psople Of San Juan county
and we believe the same ratio will hold
good throughout tho entire first judicial
district. Under Judge McFie's ad-
ministration crime is suppressed and
every case is heard in an intelligent
manner. And there appears to be little
doubt that the appointment will again
be rendered him.
AS an example OF what intensive cul-
tivation OF Animas valley soil will &C
complish, the case Of A. j. Gilmour Of
Flora Vista may be cited. Mr.. Gilmour
has "rsnched" near Flora Vista for the
last fifteen or eighteen years, OF of a
tract Of land measuring, as nearly as
can be determined, one and a quarter
acres he this year gathered and market
$4,000 pounds Of ripe onions, which
netted bin 10 round numbers S540. He
delivered the onions to the Hyde com.
pauy at Harrington the sacks having
been furnished. Besides the ripe
there we're 1000 pounds OF eulls
sold. The crop this year, it should be
stated was 14,OO0 pounds short OF the
amount grown last year on the same

Proposed Constitutional Amendments
Three amendments to the Constitu-
ton of Maryland will be submitted
to the voters of the whole State for
ratification at the general election
November 5, 1901, as follows:
L. Dividing the city of Baltimore
into four legislative districts of as
nearly equal proportions as may be.
and OF contiguous territory, and Civ
ing the city one senator from each of
the districts, making four instead of
three senators, as heretofore.
IL. Increasing the presentation of
the city of Baltimore in the House of
Delegates from IS to "a, by allowing
TO each of the four legislative districts
so created representation equal to
that enjoyed by the largest county.
which is six delegates.
The county basis of apportionment
is not changed, the effect of the two
amendments being simply to provide
for Baltimore city one additional leg
lslative district, one more senator and
six more delegates in the General AS
sembly of 1904.
Ill. Providing that States attor-
neys of the counties shall perform
such duties and receive such fees and
commissions or salary, not exceeding
$4,000, as may now or may hereafter
be prescribed by law. Fixing the sal
airy of the States attorney for Balti-
more city at $4,000 a year with power
to appoint one deputy at $4,000 a
year, and such other assistants at not
exceeding 81, 5OOa year as the Supreme
Bench of Baltimore city may approve;
all of such salaries to be paid out of
the fees ofthe States attorneys office,
as has heretofore been the practice.

A Disastrous FIRE.
Mr.. Nimrod GIotfeIty's Barn With Its Con.
tents, Including Cattle and Horses.
Burned Friday Night.

A telephone message to THE RE-
PUBLICAN Saturday morning from
the home of Mr.. Nimrod Glotfelty,
residing on the Grantsville road east
of McHenry, conveyed the informa-
ton that the night previous fire had
destroyed his large barn, with its
contents, consisting of eight head of
horses, thirty-six head of fat cattle,
so tons of hay, 200 bushels of wheat,
400 bushels of oats and about 80 bush
els of buckwheal, besides farming
implements, spring wagons, road wag-
ons, harness, etc, entailing a loss of
over $1,000, upon which an insurance
policy in the Farmers Mutual Fire
Insurance Company for So, 200 was in
effect.
How the fire originated is unknown,
Mr.. Glotfelty saying that no member
of his household had been to the barn
after nightfall and in consequence no
light had been carried into it. The
IRE was discovered at one o'clock Sat
urday morning when the building
was falling in and after it was impos-
sible to save anything from the flames.
In shed built under the foreshoot of
the barn was quartered 80 head o.
cattle, which succeeded in breaking
out after some of them had been
burned to more or less extent.
The barn was an immense structure,
it being 70x115 feet, well planned and
built and was situated short dis
lance from the farm house. While
Mr.. Glotfelty is in comfortable cir
cumstrnces the loss falls heavy upon
him.

News of the Ii. & o.

The new Atlantic type locomotives
soon to be adopted by the Baltimore
and Ohio are model pieces of railway
equipment. They are of wide firebox
style and will be operated by the use
of bituminous coal. The CRATE in area
is 42.5 square feet and the total heat
ing surface 1868 square feet of which
$50 square feet is in the firebox The
tubes are 10 feet one inch long. The
tirebox length 102 inches. The cab is
at the rear end and Vaulain system
of compromising is used. The total
weight of the engine in working order
is 1850 pounds, and the weight on
drivers is 50, 400 pounds.
These locomotives have four driv-
ing wheels and by reason of pony
wheels back of the drivers to carry
the big fire box they will excite at
tention by their unusual appearance.
Railroaders say these engines run
like a scared dog" They will haul
the fast trains.

People often wonder why lumber
men wear bright-colored clothing. In
the conduct of the business of this
world very few things are done with
out good reasons. 1t is the object of
the man whose life is spent in the
woods to make himself as conspicuous
as possible, so that he cannot be shot
by accident by sportsman or felled
by tree that a fellow workman is
chopping down.
Gray, blue and brown, the common
colors of workaday clothing, are too
near the shades of earth and sky and
the barks of trees and the fur of wild
animals to be readily distinguished.
SO foresters and tree choppers wear
the brightest colors, often in plaids of
clear green, yellow, red and blue.
In early pioneer days the red flan-
mel shirt was the universal badge of
the rail-splitter, because that could
be got. Now, however, there is
wide choice, and every lumber camp
generally has different outfit.

Weiiington's Senatorial Toga in Demand
by Republicans of Maryland.
Since the Republicans of Maryland
have a chance of carrying the next
legislative election a number of aspi-
rants for the United States Senate
have sprung into existence, all of
whom are anxious for the toga now
worn by Senator Wellington. Among
them are:
Philips Lee Goldsborough, of the
Eastern Shore, chairman of the State
committee.
Representative Sidney f. Mudd, of
Southern Maryland,
Representative George A. Pearre, of
Cumberland.
Ex-Postmaster General James A.
Gary, of Baltimore City.
misrepresentation Isaac A. Barber,
of Eastern Shore.
Ex-State Senator Lincoln A. Dry
den, of the Eastern Shore.
Ex-State Senator Charles T. West
colt, of the Eastern Shore.
Thomas J. Shryock, of Baltimore
City, former State treasurer.
John V. l. Findlay, of Baltimore
City.
President John X. Cowan, of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Co.
Mr.. Cowan is not suggested as a
Republican. He is classed as an In
dependent Democrat.
1t has been persistently rumored
that EX-POstmaster General James
A. Gary, who is particularly strong
in Southern Maryland, would be a
strong contestant for the place. Mr..
Gary has SO far declared himself out
of the race.
