GET RID OF THE WIRES.
All Telephone Wires In Oakland
Should be Cabled.


Oakland with its great number of
telephone, telegraph and electric
light wires could be greatly improv-
ed in appearance if an ordnance were
drafted and passed by the Council
compelling the corporations owning
these wires to enclose them in cab :.
This should be done in the case of he
telephone wires especially as they
outnumber ten to one the wires o vn-
ed by the electric and telegraph -om-
pany and are strung in a hap Lard
manner on all the principle STREETS of
the town. .~,
Along Secoud street there IRE at
least sixty wires running the
street and about half the lumber
crossing the thoroughfare at al angles
and degrees.
With the wires in cable not only
the appearance of the stre.tS would
be improved but the dan@"r of fire
being communicated to bu ldings by
telephone wires coming into contact
with charged electric light wires
would be materially lessened If not
altogether done away with.
Let the wires be cabled by all
means. True, there will be consider
able expense connected with such
work, but the telephone companies
receive great revenues from the town
and they should not object to max
ing the Improvement which will in
the end benefit them more than un-

CHAMPION SHEEP
Of THE WORLD
Col. TreusdeIl's Grand Duke" Shear
ed Fleece Weighing % Pounds.
ANIMAL WEIGHS 26G POUNDS.
The "Grand Dnke" Was Imported
from France by His Owner and
Has Record of Being the Finest
Animal in the WoaId--Will be Ex-
hibited at St. Lonis.

Garrett county is justly proud of
many things, -her climate, her peo-
pie, her hills and valleys, her agricul-
tural products and her progressive
ness in all the lines of trade and COM
merce, and when Col. George Treus-
dell, of Washington, d. c., came up
to the mountains and purchased a
I tract of over fifteen hundred acres of
land and put it in prime condition to
grow grain and other products, built
roadways over and through his hold :
ings, erected modern buildings and
spent money lavishly in his efforts
to develope his lands, she had another
source of qualification. But when
this same gentleman vent over to
France about two years ago and there
bought the prize Rambouillet ram
Grand Duke" which held an inter
national record and imported it to
this country where he installed it
upon his Garrett county farm fer
breeding purposes, another laurel
was added. This animal since bein G
imported has taken prizes at all the
stock shows in the country and with
out doubt will continue to bring re-
Down to its owner for years to come,
barring accidents which may ter
inmate its life.
The other day the Grand Duke was
sheared of its eight-months' old
fleece and the startling fact develop
ed that the wool, clean as soap and
water could make it, weighed Just
twenty-five pounds, which is more
than three times the average yield
the country over.
The ram is but five years old. Since
been sheare1 he has been weighed
! and Mr. w. H. Chadderton, Col.
Treusdelfs uperintendent on the
farm, vouches for the statement that
the scales showed his weight as being
260 pounds.
On the farm Col. Treusdell has
about four hundred sheep and lambs
of different breeds, most of them be-
ing imported or descendants of those
imported by him.
From the various flocks five thous-
and pounds of wool was clipped
this season which has been graded
and will soon be shipped to com
mission house in Boston.
Col. Treusdelrs farm lies along the
tracks of the Baltimore and Ohio rail
road near Altamont, nine miles east
Oakland and is appropriately named
"Altamont Springs Farm He has
a delightfully."- located cottage sit
uated upon an eminence commanding
view of the entire country round
about. His barns are models of archi-

rooms for vegetable matter for the
winter feeding of his sheep and other
animals.

the money Of the victims except in the case Of the
policemen and brakemen, who we're killed by the
murderers while they trying to escape capture,
says the Topeka Mail and Breeze
Before they were hanged two Of the murders pro-
iessed to be converted and talked about the conf
dent hope they had that they would meet their
friends in heaven
Now, we suppose, according to the teachings OF
great many theOlogians, it was possible for these
red-handed murderers to be converted and saved.
It has been our observation in reading the &C
counts Of hangings that at least out Of ten Of

On the other hand, there was Bob IngersOll, who
unbeliever up to the last, and on the theory
that whosOeVer believeth not shall be damned, Bob,
we suppose must be located in the place OF eternal
torment il there is such place
But, whatever might be thOOght OF BObs teach
ings be was never accused Of trying to do any man
q wrong so far as know. It was generally ad-
mitted, and never denied so far as we have heard,
that Bob was one OF the kindest, most sympathetic
and generous men who ever lived. He loved
children and they loved him. His purse was always
open to relieve distress and his always for
the poor and oppressed.
But Bob, according to the orthodox school, is
surely in hell, while the chances are even, and II
their conversion genuine, We suppose the the
Ologian would say tits reasonably that the mur-
dererE are now in heaven.
Now, this brings up question that causes one to
ponder. Suppose you have your choice Of assOcat-

OFy was Representative Littlefeld, Of Maine, who

Alabama two years ago.
In the course Of his address this Maine Republican
said that 'theIe can be question that II the peo

economy, and declared that given enough men as
Mr.. Thompson to aid them, the race question would
work out It's own solution. "May we not express
