Miss Myrtle Wiley, who will spend

After a season of most delightful
weather, Il sudden return of winter
conditions about the middle of last
week drove our people indoors and
set the busy housewives to kindle
anew the fires that had been allowed
to shoulder on the hearths. Snow,
rain and bleak winds marked the

we hope for continued fair weather.

HAVE FILEOA DISSENTING OPINION
Judges Schumacher, Pearce and Boyd
On Poe Amendment.

Judges Boyd, in the Court o. APP
peals, has filed dissenting opinion
to that handed down by Chief Judge
McSEerry, representing the majority
of the Court in the mandamus case of
Mr.. Murray Vandiver against Govern
or Warfeld to compel the latter to
publish the proposed Constitutional
amendments restricting the suffrage
and providing for State appropria-
tions for county roads
1t will be remembered that while
the Court was unanimous on the gen
eral point that the Governors sigma
ture was not necessary to the validity
of a proposed Constitutional amend
meut. the majority was five to three
on other and vital points, which, if
decided differently, would have an
nulled the main decision.
The opinion is concurred in by
Judges Pearce and Schumacher, and
differs from the opinion of the major
ity only on matters relating to. the
second section of the proposed amend
ment, which, the dissenting judges be-
lieye, contains matters which are
purely legislative, and, such being the
fact, require the signature of the Gov
ernor before they can become valid
The essential point upon which the
difference of opinion exists is as to
whether or not that section prescribes
different method of submitting the
amendment than that provided by
the general law. If 1t does, as the
three dissenting judges hold, then
plainly the whole instrument as it
passed the two houses of the Legisla-
ture is legislative in the nature.
The settlement of this point turns
the interpretion of the requirement
that the words For or Against the
Constitutional amendment must be
written or printed by the voter on the
ballot. Judge Boyd, in the opinion,
declares that it was plainly the in
tention of the two branches of the
Legislature to provide this method,
radically different from the one pre-
scribed by law as a method by which
the voter could express his sentiments
on the amendment, and that if he
did express himself by writing the
would not be inyadidated, although
the opposite would be the case under
the general law. Thus, it is argued
in the opinion, there could be no
doubt that the proposed amendment
contains provisions purely Legislative
in their character and could not be.
submitted unless it received the Cow
ernor's approval
Upon the main question as to the
necessity in ordinary of a proposed
Constitutional amendment receiving
the executive approval, the judges
who dissented take occasion to reite-l
rate their agreement with the ma
jority.

ELECTRIC LIGHT
EQUIPMENT DOUBLED.
Plant in Oakland Greatly Improved
by Addition of New Machinery.

BY the addition OF new boiler. an
engine of 100 horsepower and new
dynamo to the electric light plant in
Oakland the equipment has been
doubled in power and capacity of
lights.
The new engine has already been
installed and the additional DYNAMO
was received from the manufacturers
on Monday and placed in position in
the power house. As soon as one of
the boilers now in use can be taken
out and the foundation strengthened
another boiler, already on the ground.
will be put in.
This additional equipment was
made necessary owing to the growing
requirements of the town and the
consequent demands made or lights

has been put in commission the sys.

changed when ten 2000 candle power
incandescent-arc lights will be placed
along the most important thorough
fares to take place of the small incan-

but slight in aggregate, as all expenses
for additional wiring, etc, will be
borne DV the owner of the Dlapt Mr.

Wanted to .Soak" the Company, but
Didn't Want to Suffer
Himself.

Apropos of the suits for damages that
are continually being brought against rail-
way companies, relates the New York
Tribune, President Francis, of the St.
Louis exposition, said:
Many of these suits, of course, are
mere cases of unjust extortion 1t isn't
often, though, that the victim of an ac-
cident is as alert and resourceful as a man
OF whom | heard the other day.
"A man and his wife were riding in a
car that was derailed. Crash, bang, it
went, and then bump, bang, bump, down
. steep hill. The man howled with terror,
out the car soon came to stop. he ex-
amined himself all over carefully, and
found that he was quite unframed. Then
ne thought in the same breath of damages
and of his wife.
Are you hurt at all, old grip he
asked.
No, thank Heaven!' the woman an.
swered
Then, said the man, L tell you what
Let me black your eye, and won't we
soak the company hard for damages! II
won't hurt you much. I'll just give you
one good punch"
