Martinsburg statesman. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1869-1906, 1904-11-04

Our Republican friends say that
while they propose to double the as
sessment valuation of the farmers
property they will cut the rate OF levy
in halt and that will bring him out
where he was before. Well, let us see.
Mr.. Hubbard says that valuations
will be increased two and a half times
the present valuation.
A farmer rents farm of $50 acres.
He must put about $1,000 worth OF
stock and implements on the farm to
successfully work it. Under the old
law that property was assessed at
about $500 Unde the new law that
same property will be assessed at
its full value $1,000.
Then he must pay On other
property formerly exempt.
For instance he lays up bacon
for his family hands $50
He has so lambs worth $50
Five cans OF lard S25
so bushels Of potatoes SIS
100 chickens SIPS
$50 bushels OF corn for feed SI2s
5 turkeys 97
so bushels Of wheat for bread $50
10 tons Of hay 500
Total assessment $2257.

station said today that since the out

had been scarcely Russian, a Pole, OF

from the other countries of Europe also.

NC ECKES' CASE !.
UP TO G.. ]. AGAIN
OSSEO GLAD TO HAVE SECOND IN
CURRY INTO KILLING.
New Evidence Said to Have Been
Gathered by Minneapolis Detective
Indicating that Vindication Was OBJ
tanned Under Unusual circumstances
Other Witnesses Summoned.

Feeling is running high in Osseo over
what is declared to be the unwar-
ranted grand jury vindication of Mic
Eckes, who shot and killed Fred
Rooney about six weeks ago. AS re-
suit, the grand jury, in special session
today, took the case up again and,
after hearing the reports of Simon Nc
Nulty, the Minneapolis detective, sum
moned an almost entirely new set of
witnesses. It is believed that an in
ilctment charging manslaughter IN the
first degree has been or will be returned
before adjournment.
Many residents Of Osseo were much
surprised and exercised when the grand
case. They held conference and en-
ployed Detective Simon McNulty to in
vestigate. The result of the detective Is
work was the belief that the case was
not properly presented to the jury;
| that the proper witnesses were not sub
poenaed and that instead of Eckes act,
| ing in self-defense he shot and killed
Rooney without provocation. 1t Is
stated in Osseo that Rooney did not at,
tack the saloonkeeper; that he was
standing with his hands in his pockets
when shot, and that he had no weapon
not even jackknife, on his person..
| The residents of ~Osseo were anxious
to have all the facts brought out, and
there was much satisfaction expressed
today when it was learned that other
who are supposed to have been nearer
the scene of the shooting and to have
more information concerning the crime
than those who testified before, anc
upon whose testimony Eckes was v1ndl
| Gated.

Needed Here, He Says.

Alvah Eastman, president Of the state
normal school board argues against the
proposed normal school for Minneapo-
lis in a recent issue of the st. Cloud
Journal-Press. In his article he makes
a. comparison between the school syss
TENS of Minneapolis and st. Paul, much
to the advantage of this city, He says:
Minneapolis has the reputation Of hav-

He has established the rule. that teachers
employed under him must, first :: have
proved their efficiency in other, schools.
Minneapolis girls, who wish to teach, are
sent to some Of the normal schools, mostly
at Winona, Mankato and st. Cloud. :, Then
they are required to teach a year and
make a success OF, it. In this way Super
! intendent Jordan brings to his school year
by year trained and competent teachers
DR.. Jordan, as a thoro educator, knows
that it is much better for the city girls
to go out into the smaller cities and vii
lagos, for time, where they learn many
things that Just essential in teach

books. They are broad and more COM

narrows and dwarfs. .'''E
St. Paul has a system of its own. An
examination Of the rosters of the Min
nesota normal schools shows that st. Paul
had just four representatives at the five
schools It has a training school Of its
own, which can no more be compared to
state normal school in preparing teach
ers, than poverty stricken. seminary can
be compared to our great university. The
! st. Paul girls are taken from the high
schools, given a course in it's so-called
training school, and put in the public
schools Of that city.
Ask any educational man in Minnesota
conversant with the conditions of the
schools In the twin cities, how st: Paul
schools compare with those OF Mime ,.

Minneapolis is doing most excellent
