From all around comes the COM
plant from farmers about town hun
tiers trespassing on there property,
throwing down fences, shooting
chickens and tame turkeys, and shoot
ing so recklessly that it is dangerous
to be out when the hunters are
around. The farmers are making a
move to combine on a plan of self
defence. If all farmers will go to-
gether and make it known that no
cunning shall be done upon any of
their lands without a written CON
sent from the land owner they may
accomplish something and keep some
marauders away.
In union there is strength. The
only way for the farmers to protect
themselves is to call a meeting and
organize. All agree on one thing, one
plan, and stand by each other. 1t
is no use to grumble; that does not
accomplish anything.

Planning Mill to Operate.

joining Oakland on the east will begin
operations within few days and will
be in charge of w. E. Bird, ESQ, an
experienced planning and saw mill man.
Oakland has felt the need of plan
ing mill for several years past and
now that we are to have one in oper-
alton right at our doors it should be
patronized to the exclusion of out of
town industries of like character
where conditions are equal.

There is law upon the statute
books of Maryland prohibiting the
shipment of pheasants and other
game from Garrett county to other
sections of the State or to other States,
the intent of the law containing these
provisions being the protection of
the game as pheasants readily bring
So per pair in Baltimore and other
cities. That birds have been shipped
to points outside the county there is
no mistake. One of the illegal ship
pers, a merchant at Swanton, was
caught in the act by special game
warden sent there at the request of
the Garrett county authorities from
Cumberland last Saturday. In the
box confiscated by the officer was a
bunch of thirty pheasants intended
for commission merchant at Balti-
more. The shipper was placed under
arrest and tried before the justice at
Swanton, who imposed heavy fine
which with costs amounted to $28.

WHEREAS, Judge Stakes great
knowledge of the law, coupled with
his literary attachments of high or
der, which enabled him at all times
and upon all occasions to clothe his
thoughts and decisions in most ornate
and beautiful diction, gave added
weight to the mandates and iudg-

his colleagues, he presided with such
wisdom, distinction, impartiality and
fairness; and

Stake the bench, bar and people of
this circuit have been deprived of the

have been riven and ties of more than
ordinary love and personal regard
have been torn asunder and DESTROY

Judge Stake in a body.
Fifth. That the bench of the Cir

ProspectIng For Minerals.

Messrs. Stone and Sharp, Of Park
ersburg, W. Va, who recently acquir-
ed by purchase from the original hold
ers of options upon several thousand
acres of land lying along the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad west of town
and adjacent to Hutton and Skipnish,
are having a test hole sunk for the
purpose of ascertaining if there are
any minerals under the surface and
at what depth they can be found.
The test hole is being put down upon
the farm of Bert G. Scott, near Hut
ton, a diamond bit being used and
the cores taken therefrom being care
fully preserved. The drillers are close
mouthed but from outside sources it
has been learned that so far the drill
has been sent down ninety feet, forty
of which has been through lime stone,
which indicates that coal underlies
the tract and can be reached with
little additional boring. If the min
eral stands the test for steam and heat
producing qualities we may soon ex-
pect mines to be opened as sufficient
capital is interested to make the de-
velopment upon large scale.

Much Speculation AS to Judge Stakes
Successor.

Successor.
The question of a successor to Judge
Stake has been much discussed and
there is much speculation as to what
Governor Smith will do. The con-
ditions here are unusual. Two judges
haye died within few months and
the Governor has to fill the vacancies.
Hon. Ferdinand Williams, a democrat,
has been appointed to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Judge Sloan.
According to the law two associates
judges cannot come from the same
county. This will necessitate the
selection of an appointee to fill this
last vacancy from either Garrett or
Washington county. There are many
aspirants for the appointment and the
friends of the various candidates are
beginning to lay their plans. Alex
ander Neill, j. G. Lane, VIM. Keal-
hofer, Ernest Hoffman, William j,
Witzebacher, Geo. W. Smith. Jr., T.
A. Poffenberger, J. A. Mason and
others have been mentioned in con-
nection with the place. 1t is conceded
that Col. Schley will name the man.

TUTUILA DOMESTIC LAND
Knox Decides That Goods Can Be
Shipped From There Free of Duty.

Washington. Feb H.-The secretary Of
the treasury has received from the at
torney general an opinion on the question
of whether merchandise shipped from
Pago-Pago, Tutuila. lis entitled to free
entry into the United States, in view Of
the convention concluded by the United
States, Great Britain and Germany, on
December ?, 1899. The attorney general
holds that Tutuila is domestic territory
of the United States, and that our tariff
laws imposing duties on goods from for
eign countries" are not applicable to
goods arriving from Pago-Pago.
1T is possible" says the attorney gen.
eral, that German and British mer-
chants may attempt to carry under cover
of the provisions Of the tripartite agree
ment to carry goods via Pago-Pago into
some of our ports, since according to the
doctrine laid down in DooIey VS. the
United States and other cases. goods en-
tering Psgo-Pago from the United States
are not dutiable by executive authority,
and so as TO goods arriving from Pago-
Page IN the ports of the United states.
But this cannot alter the status OF
the ports of Tutuila nor does IL present
any difficulty which congress and the
treasury department cannot easily deal
with. The treaty neither stipulates for
free entry to Pago-Pago nor is intended
to provide for a meaps for entry into
other ports on the terms stipulated in
the case Of Pago-Pago, but only that the
same privileges as we see fit to accord TO
Pago-Pago to our own commerce and YES
sells shall be enjoyed by British and
German goods and vessels arriving there,
and that reciprocally American merchants
shall have the privileges in the ports Of
the British and German islands of the
group accorded there to British and Ger
man commerce"

LAW IS UPHELD
Counties Can Bid on Land Sold for
NOn-Payment OF Taxes.

Topeka, Kan, Feb. 2-The United
States supreme court has upheld the con-
stitutionality OF the law passed oy tho
legislature in 1891 authorizing counties 70
bid in lands which are sold for noa-pay-
ment OF taxes. The decision was handed
down in the case brought against c. a.
Parker. the treasurer OF Reno county.

Bigger. The question involved was
whether the county could bid in AZ Iands
sold for taxes and exclude all other bid
ders.
The plaintiff conterded that this law
was contrary 20 the constitution uf this
state and Of the United States. for the
reason. that it abolished competitive bid
ding by enabling the county treasurer
10 bid in the whole tract. when. in fact
a public sale of the same 20 the highest
bidder might have resulted IN a sale OF
portion Of the tract 10 satisfy tho whole
amount OF tax due thereon that such a
proceeding was a taking OF property with
out due process Of law.
on the other maud, the county contend
cd that there is no constitutional Iinita-
ton, either state or national. upon the
power OF a legislature ia tie fixing or a
mode for the collection OF taxes; that
tho Legislature has the power 10 provide
for an absolute forfeiture Of lands for
the non-payment OF taxes due thereon. or
a competitive sale Of the same. as IL sees
