WILL HOLD on.
City WeIgher Enfield Declines to
Shorten His Term.

From saturdays DAILY.
Members of the council committee on
markets discussed the matter of the
city scales and city weigher last evening
and again today, and it was decided to
discontinue the services of City Weigher
to quit then, Aid. Eichstaedt had a con-
ference with Mr.. Enfield this afternoon,
but the latter stated that he preferred to
serve out the two months for which he
was hired. This being the case, he will
be allowed to remain unless he recon
siders later He said that he wanted to
hold on in order to vindicate himself, as
he considered that his honesty had been
attacked He would not have taken the
job in the first place had he known how
it was going to result.
Mr.. Enfield is certainly mistaken if he
considers any imputation has been plac-
ed upon his honesty, as everyone con-
cedes that the city could not have hired
a more honest man for the place. The
complaint does not lie there.
When Mr.. Enfeld's time is up, the
committee will accept ]. j. Pihale's pro-
position to fill the office of city weigher
for the fees that are in it, and to furn-
ish a bond for $500. This will cut off
the present expense of $50 month.
Mr. Enfield intends to call witnesses
when he weighs stock in the future.

WRONG MAN ARRESTED.
So the StahI House People Think in
Burglary Case.
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
1t is not thought at the Stahl House
that the party arrested at the union de-
pot by the police yesterday morning is
the one who entered the Stahl House
at a. m The party who made the
entry is believed to have been burglar
and to have been ONE of the two who en-
tered II. j. Wagons residence two hours
previous. Mrs. Mic KIeinschmidt grab
bed coat carried under the burglars
arm as he stepped out of the window,
thinking that it was her husbands, but
it turned out to have been the coat of the
man who was subsequently arrest
ed. 1t is now thought that the real bur-
glars took this mans coat in order to
divert suspicion from themselves, he
being drunk at the time.
The burglar entered the second floor
OF the Stahl House by way OF the rear
porch, going up the stairway back of
Henry Fricke's store When he entered
the room occupied by Mr.. Kleinschmidt's
little boy, through the window, he turned
out the gas that was burning. The boy
called to his parents, who were sleeping
in the other room of the suite, and the
fellow hastily retreated the way he came.
The boy said that the man was so small
that he took him for anither boy. The
prowler stopped on the corner by the
City Hotel and it was then that Mr..
kleinschmidt telephoned to the police.
The man who was arrested said that
he was so drunk that he did not remem-
Der anything, but did not think that he
was at the Stahl House.

The collections of current taxes by the
county treasurer from Jan. 4th until

is about the same as last year, leaving
out the dog tax. Of this sum, the peo-

and wires removed on six months notice,
provided that the work need not be done
in winter.
The matter was referred to the street
committee to report as soon as pos
sible
Park Superintendent Blake said that
the wires come over the trees on the
boulevards, and the company cuts the
limbs away to make room for the
wires, which in some places are quite
low. They are stumbling block to
boulevard improvement.
AID Leonard said that the fences
around the stone quarries are getting
down, making them dangerous and ac-
cidents likely to happen on dark nights.
He moved that the property owners be
notified to put up their fences.
Aid. Deebach said that year ago the
property owners had been instructed to
do this. and some of them had done so,
but men had cut the wires with nippers
in order to drive through private pro-

Tazewell Republican. [volume] (Tazewell, Va.) 1892-1919, 1903-04-23

The Richmond News Leader is run mad
on the subject of tariff revision, and denies
the fact that the prosperity of the country
is due to Republican ascendency and poll
cies. The News Leader is hopeful that the
Democrats can win in 1904 with tariff re-
form as an issue. 1t says: "The very
fact the country is prosperous renders it
all the more easy to effect the changes
which are so full of promise of enhancing
existing prosperity, without producing any
wrench or reaction even temporarily"
We will remind our contemporary that the
Democrats talked this kind stuff for logic
In 1892. The people listened to the tariff
reformers, the changes were effected and
"a wrench and reaction" came that lasted
temporarily" for about four years; and
would, no doubt, have lasted until now il
the "wrench or reaction" had not been
cur ed by return to a Republican tariff.
The News Leader may deceive itself into
the belief that Democratic tariff reform
would enhance existing prosperity, but the
people have suffer ed too much recently by
such an experiment to try it again soon.
