$3.50 ADDITIONAL
4 COST FOR NEW JAIL
This Amount Commissioners Have
Agreed to Pay the Contractors.
SIZE OF BUILDING NOT INCREASED
But Contractors Claim the New Site is
More Expensive to Build On
Although there is Less Excavat-
Ing.

The Board of County Commission
ers at the meeting of that body held
during the month of April agreed
with the contractors having under
construction the new Jail in Oakland
to pay them an additional sum of
$2150 on the contract, which brings
the total amount to be expended up
to this time in the building and fur
nishing of the jail and sheriff's resi-
dence considerably over $4,000.
The contractors claims that by the
changing of the site the cost of the
construction of the building has been
increased although the original di-
mensions of the building are adhered
to in every particular.
The matter is not generally known
hut has been pretty freely discussed
by some residents and tax payers of
town who criticise the action of the
Commissioners severely for thus
spending the peoples money.

Decoration Day-the fortieth since
the close of the great Civil War, that
gigantic strife which drenched the
land with the blood of hundreds of
thousands of the best and bravest of
American youth and manhood, but
which cemented together as with
bonds of steel the several states of
once disorganized Union, brought
with it in all sections of the country
the tramp of many feet, hurrying to
place tributes of love and affection
upon the graves of those who fell in
battle, who died of wounds or disease,
and of those who participated in the
great struggle, have since "passed be-
yond the river" and likewise upon
the graves of departed friends and de-
ceased brethren of beneficial societies.
The exercises Of the day as is the
usual custom, were under the imme-
date charge OF Crook Post G. A. R..
of which Col. A. g. Sturgiss is the
Commander and Capt. James A.

procession from the Post Headquar-
tiers to the cemetery, the parade
forming as follows:
Crook Post, % members.
School children.

After the graves of all had been
strewn with flowers the soldiers

Facts About Cigars.

Few cigar smokers are aware that
all cigars are named according to their
color and shape. A dead black cigar.
for instance, is an "Oscuro,' a very
dark brown one is a Colorado Madu-
ro,'' dark brown is Colorado" a
medium brown is a Colorado ClarO,"
and a yellowish light brown is a
'Claro.' Most smokers know the names
of the shades from "Claro'' to "Colora-
do and that is as far as most of them
need to know. AS to the shapes, ma
poleon," the biggest of all cigars, is
seven inches long; "Perfecto'' swells
in the middle and tapers down to
very small head at the lighting end;
"Panatela" is a thin, straight up and
down cigar without the graceful curve
of the ''Perfecto;" ''Conchas'' is very
short and fat, and a ''Londres' is shap-
ed like ''Perfecto,". except that it
does not taper to so small head at
the lighting END. A "Reina Victoria" is
a "Londres" that comes packed in a
ribbon tied bundle of fifty pieces in
stead of in the usual four layers of
thirteen, twelve, thirteen and twelve.

The Worlds Highest Monument.

The cornerstone of the Washington
monument was laid, on it's fine site
which overlooks Washington, George
town, Arlington and Mount Vernon, by
President Polk, July 4, 1S4S. Its mar
bic shaft rises, in all the dignity of I'M
adorned simplicity, to the height of 555
feet. The base of the shaft is fifty-fve
feet square, and it gradually tapers,
until at the 500 foot point it has di-
minished to less than thirty-tive feet
This monument is said to contain $4,000
blocks of marble, each two feet thick
They were lifted on an elevator run by
steam, suspended in an inner frame

thirty-six years and a half after the
cornerstone was laid.

Korean Children.

The children of Korea are extremely
quaint and pretty, especially when only
a few years old. At New Years they
are generally dressed up in brand new
frocks, and though, according to our
ideas Of taste, we should not give yell
low sleeves to bright red jacket and
wear this over green frock, must
say that somehow or other it looks all
right there and relieves the monotony
of the sempiternal white garments. The
faces of the children are whitened with
chalk, and the hair is oiled and parted
in the middle, plastered down and tied
into one or two small pigtails.-Corn-

There are two fundamental necessi-
ties for happy life-namely, useful
occupation for mind and body and an
outlet for unselfish affection. The first
requisite for enduring happiness is in
having work to do in which one be-
lieves. Such work always aims at the
accomplishment of something useful.
While this work must be done with
fair efficiency, it should not be accom-
panied with too much drudgery or ex-
hauStion.
The simpler the plan on which ones
living is modelled the less will be the
complications and disturbances caused
by an overelaborate scale of existence
and the more time will be left for the
real duties and pleasures of life.-From
