OAKLAND HOTEL OPENED
FOR GUESTS To DAY.
Great Improvements Made to the House
and Grounds by the Lessees.
SEASON WILL BE A GOOD ONE
The Hotel Renovated From Cellar to
Attic and the Grounds Are rlore
Beautiful Than Ever Before, Due
to the Efforts of rlessrs. Eckles
s DeVries,

The famous Oakland Hotel, which
formerly enjoyed the patronage of
prominent people from all sections of
the United States who came here to
seek health and derive physical bene-
fit from the climate and pure air will
regain its lost prestige and notoriety
as the leading summer hotel of the
country if labor and desire to have
everything in prime condition count
for ANYTHING, for during the past six
t. days a vast amount of work has
been done at the hotel by the new
proprietors, Messrs. g. w. Eckles and
G. K. Devries, who have leased the
property for term of years.
The hotel opened this morning for
the reception of guests and by reports
gathered from the proprietors most
successful season awaits them.
During the past two months large
force of men have been engaged in
making necessary repairs to the build
ing besides laying new carpets in all
the rooms on the first and second
floors, revarnishing and repairing
the furniture in all parts of the house
and in many other ways making the
property more pleasing to the eye.
In the large lobby the greatest i'm
proyement may be noticed. This
room has been newly papered with a
design in keeping with its surround
ings. The dining room has been
newly furnished with a specially de-
signed service of china and linen
while in the culinary and pastry de-
partments everything has been re-
placed with new material.
In addition to this the front of the
building and the veranda running
its entire length, has been freshened
up with paint which in itself adds
greatly to the property.
A large and strong storage tank for
water has been erected on the hill in
the rear OF the hote! from which the
supply of water for bathing, culinary
and housekeeping purpores will be
drawn. Its location is such that wat
er is now furnished to every floor in
the hotel
The grounds fronting the building
have been trimmed up, the grass now
ed smoothly and q large number of
flowers have been set out in the beds
bordering the driveways leading to
the front entrance.
The REPUBLICAN, along with the
rest of the citizens of Oakland wish
the proprietors all the success they
so richly deserve for their unceasing
labor and faith in the town as a sum-
mer resort of more than ordinary
merit

those assembled at this one grave of
three young children, beggars men
ton. Women lost control of their
pent-up emotions and strong men
ceased for the time to be men and
shook convulsivefy and wept bitterly,
while the broken hearted father. with
bandaged hand and SCARED face,
walled in wild despair. Listening to
the lamentations of father to brok-
ell in spirit and blinded in grief to
know that justice and mercy NAV yet
appear as spiritual flowers over the
ashes of this burning, fable was re-
called. no less suggestive from being
a fable: A flute, the story ran, hope

lacerated, scraped and gashed until
its former shape and self were gone.
But a voice exclaimed, "Oh foolish,
foolish flute! you know not of what
you complain. Before touched by
the fashioning hand that gave you
such grace and polish, YOU were but
a piece of ebony. common in the gem
eral forest. What a transformation
now? What you call scraping took
away the dross of your being, every
laceration is brace of beauty, ard
what YOU call gashes are but the
music valves through which the
clearest notes and most heavenly
harmonies come"

FAMILY OF HENRY KERSHMAN
Two Girls and One Boy Incinerated
In the Beds at Their Home Last
Friday Morning.

Friday morning. June 9th, 1905,
about three miles north of Swanton,
was tragedy so harrowingly repel-
lent kthat it should be if possible
neither remembered nor repeated.
Less than a mile west of the North
Glade church, and on the road of
that name, stood the residence of
Henry Kershman. Mrs. Kershman
was the mother of an infant less than
two days old. Two children slept
with the parents on the lower floor,
while three, bow and two girls rang
ing from three to about seven years
of age, occupied bed on the upper
floor. AS the morning was cool with
considerable frost, Mr. Kershman
kindled fire in the stove with pipe
running through the building. In
short while, soon after five o'clock in
the morning he was Mortified by the
roar of fire in the root OF his home.
Access to the children by the
stairway was found to be impossible
and the agonized father ran out
quickly reached and broke in an up
per window through which smoke
and flames no man could face and
live burst upon him, but he pressed
into this devouring blaze and chok-
ing smoke calling beseeching to his
children while his own hands and
face were burning, without hearing
an answer or human sound from the
consuming fires within.
His burns were most painful, par
ticularly deep and severe on the right
hand.
Fortunately at this junctnre in the
peril, neighbors reached the scene
pnd rescued the ill mother, baby and
noyo children from the falling fires
>over head, and also succeeded in saw
ing a few articles from that room.
In an amazingly short time the board
structure was in embers and ashes on
the ground and when the subsiding
heat admitted approach, there side
by side, with the wire work of the
spring bed on which they slept. were
the three charred remnants of what
a few minutes, less than all hour, be-
fore had been living bodies. These
blackened fragments were gathered
and placed in a white casket and in
tered that afternoon in the North
Glade cemetery, the Rev. Mr.. Price,
of the Methodist church, conducting
a most reverent and impressive SER
vice.

that We do not intend to treat it in any

for the ship. Along with the governor
was a christening party OF 30 Kan

An unusual feature of the launching
was the fact that the vessel was christ.
ened with spring water procured from
a Camden, N. j., spring, instead OF
the usual bottle of champagne. This
is the first time that water instead oil
wine has been used in launching a YES.

Kansas made the suggestion and he
made the announcement after thu
launching that the christening bottle
contained only water.
