SUNMYSIDE

Miss Nettie Brenninger's many
friends of this community were glad
of her return from Bittinger after a
visit of three weeks at her sisters.
Mrs. l.. Lohr. of that place. She is
very popular in her home community
and possesses the happy faculty of
making friends wherever she goes.
Since her return home horses and
buggies that have been idle for the
past three week have been actively
engaged by young men whose coun-
tenances are radiant with the sun
! shine of joy emanating from glad
hearts.
Miss Nell Flowers, of Hauser. one
of Garrett county's most successful
teachers, accompanied by Mr.. Will
Harnill, passed through here on her
way home from Deer Park where she
has been engaged as teacher for the
past winter.
A protracted meeting, conducted
by Rev. William Cunningham. of
Loeb Lynn Heights, has been in pro-
gress for the past TWO weeks at Under
wood Chapel, with good results.
Good behavior on the part of the
congregation was reasonably well
maintained throughout the meeting
although the Minister had to "call
down" the rougher element. However
the behavior on last Saturday night
was all that could be desired.
The Sunnyside Literary Society
holds its meetings, we are informed,
on Saturday evening of each week in
stead of on Thursday evening as was
| the former custom.
Farmers of this section, who win
tered large quantities of potatoes
with view of getting advance prices
this spring are now anxious to get
orders at reduced prices. Orders
come but slowly for potatoes at any
| price.
The writer, his wife and dau ghtel
attended divine services at Under.
wood Chapel on last Sunday morning
after which we were the guests of the
kind hearted Glotfelty family Of
Underwood vicinity. We were enter
tanned by this hospitable family tc
the fullest degree and an attempt tc
say how we'll we enjoyed the bounti
full dinner prepared by Mrs. Glotfelty
and the spirit of sociability that was
lavished upon us would be vain.
shall just say, however, that Charles
and his good wife not only know how
to entertain but they entertain.

Remains Were Those off. E. Holland

The young B & O. conductor who
was found dead on the rails at Deer
Park, at point near the depot, on
Wednesday night of last week, at first
identified as Cbas. Holland, proved to
be the remains of Mr. F. E. Holland,
formerly Of Terra Alta, then residing
in Cumberland. The unfortunate man
had been to Newburg to get his B. &
O. check, and was returning to his
home in Cumberland on passenger
train No. 10. He got off the train at
Oakland, and it is supposed that he
boarded freight train later to com
plete the trip to Cumberland, and
that he in some manner fell from his
train. He was the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. DayId Holland, well known res
idents of Terra Alta, and was univer-
sally liked by all who knew him. The
remains were taken to Terra Alta for
interment

WHERE WILL THE
JAIL Be LOCATED I?
Matter is Now in the Hands of the
County Commissioners Who
Meet Today.
OAKLAND CITIZENS RAISE $500
To Cover Deficiency in Taking Pur-
chase OF Ground Provided COM
missiODers Agree to Erect Build
ing on Site Selected.

The location OF the proposed new
Jail is yet a matter of speculation
with the people as we'll as the Board
of County Commissioners as nothing
definite has been done to settle the
problem up to this hour zone o'clock
today.
In the issue of THE REPUBLICAN of
March 10th when suggestion was
published calling for meeting of the
taxpayers of the county to discuss the
feasibility of securing more desirable
location for the proposed new build
ings the matter took shape from that
time and it has been under discussion
ever since among the taxpayers and
citizens of the town and county, the
general opinion being that the old To-
cation was entirely out of the ques-
ton. Since the first meeting matters
have come to the surface making the
hill site even more undesirable, fore
most of which is the fact that the lot
purchased for the erection of the new
jail cannot be located by courses and
distances and consequently a cloud
has settled upon the title.
Last week when the Commissioners
met here a committee of citizens in
terviewed that body urging the Sc
lection of a site more centrally locat-
ed. The Commissioners made a prop.
osition to the committee that if the
block of lots on Alder street between
Third and Fourth streets could be
secured for $4,000 that they will agree
to place the buildings thereon. The
lowest figure obtainable for these
lots was $4,000, leaving a deficiency of
of $1400 to be made up by the citizens
of the town. To raise this amount a
call for a citizens meeting was issued
by Mayor McComas On last Saturday
afternoon when the public spirited
people of the town responded and in
a very short time the requisite
amount had been raised with some to
spare. The contributors, with the
respective amounts subscribed, fol-

CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSES
THE WATER QUESTION
Proposed Source of Supply Will Be
La ureI Run Five Miles Out.
FOUNTAIN WILL BE SAFEGUARDED
Ii the Plan To Supply Town from that
Source rlateriaIizes-COntr for
New Incandescent-A Arc Lights
Closed With rlr. d. E. Offutt.

Monday the City Council as a body
to hear and determine appeals from
assessments as made and returned to
that body by the assessor, was in SEES
sion several hours in the afternoon
and also IN the evening when the APP
peal business was wound up for the
present wear. after which the Council
sat as a legislative body in adjourned
session when considerable business of
/ i'm portance was transacted.
ExMayor Harry J. Frear, as a rep
resentative of several interests, APP
peared before the Council and sub
| mitted, or rather outlined, a plan
whereby the town could secure an ex-
cellent and wholly adequate supply
of water at low rate. provided local
stock company be formed for the pur-
/ pose of financing the affair. Mr.. Frear
| proposed that the source of supply be
Laurel Run, which is located about
FIVE miles southwest Oft town and at
! SulINlCht w lulblSAl a. SOOtl
pressure at all points within the cor
porate limits under the gravity sys-
TEN. The supply is controlled entire
| ly by the Preston Company, through
whose lands the stream runs its length
| While nothing definite was proposed
by Mr.. Frear his suggestions were
taken to mean something that would
probably lead to a solution of the
water problem and a committee of
Council was appointed 10 confer with
the Lumber Company to see what
arrangements could be made and to
as certain if the fountain, should the
ma tier take definite shape, would be
safeguarded from pollution.
The contract for furnishing addi-
tional lights for the town was closed
W it'll Mr.. d. Z. Offutt, owner of the
electric station. Under the contract
Mr.. Offutt is to supply ten 1000 candle
power .incandescent arc lights to be
placed at points designated by Coun-
Gil along the principal streets. These
lights will succeed the sixteen candle
power lights now in use along these
thoroughfares.
An order YVES passed instructing
City Attorney Heindel to take the
necessary step to properly locate and
define Fifth street from Oak street to
the cemetery. At the corner of Green
street and Fifth there seems to be an
offset of eighteen feet and in order to
eliminate this Council deemed the
step necessary.
The next meeting of Council will
be held on the first Monday. evening
of May when the tax rate for munich
pal purposes will be fixed.

George Curtis, tax commissioner Of Wis

plan adopted In his state for the valuation
OF land and gave 1t as his opinion that the
most reliable information to be secured on
the subject was from the figures specified
in the transfers OF property after eliml-
mating those sales made by judicial de-
erees, transfers from one relative to an
other and all abnormal sales. The matter
OF the assessment OF railroads was not
taken up
The other witnesses examined were E. r.
Goodwin Of Lincoln county. real estate
dealer, who said the better land In his
county had been assessed at 60 per cent Of
Its real value and the poor land at Is per
cent Of It's value; 4. II. Kerr. real estate
dealer OF Merrick county, who said the
land generally In his county had been as
sessed at IS per cent OF its real value; E.
Fl. Chambers OF Columbus. Platte county,
who said land generally had been assessed
at 70 per cent OF its actual value in his
county; r. C. Shannon OF Columbus, who
said the real estate had been assessed from
90 70 s. per cent OF It's value: G. b. spiece
OF Columbus, who said the value returned
by the assessors was not more than rs per

is the opinion of Representative Windham
who told me. 1 believe, that he had served
In four sessions Of the legislature and that
the last one was the best he ever saw.
Mr. Windham was one of the leaders of
the house and almost always on the right
side OF all questions. cannot remember
a single measure OF special public interest
that he was not one of those primarily re-
sponsible for its passage.
III Governor Mickey should call an extra
session and limit the subjects OF legislation
to three or four very essential reforms /
can almost promise that the house will
pass good laws pertaining to the call.
There is danger, however. on account of
the great number of needed measures, that
there might be too many, and the special
interests would use their influence to pass
those they were not interested In and let
the most important be amended or be killed
Another great argument for the need of q
Especial session to pass these important re-
forms is the fact that at the next session
United States senator is 10 be elected
and this promises to be a very spirited
| contest The result will be many legis-
lative matters will be neglected, and, as
pointed out In The Bee, even II they
should pass at the regular session they
cannot be submitted to the people until the

I'VE cannot say definitely when we will

floors OF that building June /, and for the
completion OF the whole September /, but
we have been delayed until there IL no

constitutional amendments are at present
contradictory and should be changed.
There is no question but that in one chap
ter II was intended a constitutional amend
ment Should be printed on separate bal
lots and deposited in separate ballot boxes
In another chapter pertaining to elections
and the printing of ballots It is provided
they shall be printed on the regular bal
lot. believe the amendments should be
printed on separate ballots. as they would
attract moro attention than on a ballot
six feet long. l believe also It ought not
to be necessary the vote on the amend
ment should equal majority of the votes
cast, but need only be a majority Of the
votes cast on that subject At present
failure to vote means a negative vote.
Regular Session Not Enough.
Il believe in an extra session for the
discussion OF these subjects because there
is too much work in a regular session and
the time is too short Every member be-
comes too much engrossed in unimportant
bills that he OF his district is equally in
terested in. more serious difficulty still
is the inexperience Of the members. You
take body composed of men who all be-
long to one session and they will be able
to get down to business more intelligently
and more quickly than where the majority
are new men. =.
