ed to Mr.. W. A. Liller of Keyser, West
Va, his bid being $50, 1852, exclusive Of
the furniture, heating, plumbing and
electric wiring and fixtures. The plans
for the building were made by Mr.. j.
Riley Gordon, of New York city, who
also drew the specifications. Immedi-
ately after the contract was awarded
Mr.. Liller began work on the building
and on Tuesday, October Is, 1907, the
corner stone was laid by Oakland Lodge

be remembered by those participating.

Thanksgiving Turkeys.

The present season for turkeys has
been rather remarkable. A short time
ago it was thought that the supply
would be wholly unequal to the demand,
and that the prices would be away up.
Tuesday morning thousands of pounds
of dressed turkeys and chickens were
brought into Oakland and before noon
owing to the quantities on sale the
price dropped from twenty cents to
eighteen cents per pound with indlca-
tions that the price would be still lower
before the day was oyer.

ANGRY FEELING AT NEWBURG.
VIM. Cox, American Stone Mason,
Murdered by An Italian Who
Was Caught.

William Cox, an American, stone
mason by trade, was shot and killed
last night in quarrel resultant from
grudge at the mining town of New
burg, w. Va, a few miles west of Oak
land, Md, by Dan Mascarelli, an Ital-
ian, aged about so years. Shortly after
nine O'Clock last night, Mascarelli was
caught. There was such feeling as to in
dictate that the Italian might be lynched
before morning. Cox was shot twice
in the face with II guage shotgun and
killed instantly. The police here were
notified of the murder and later word
came of the capture of Mascarelli.

The new temple of justice for Garrett
county has been completed and it stands
as a monument to the members OF the
Commission who adopted the plans for
its construction, and to the architect as
well as to the contractor and any others
who may have in any manner contribut-
ed in giving to this grand old mountain
top county of Maryland the finest public
buildings of it's character in the State
of Maryland outside of Baltimore City.
At a meeting of the Court House
Commission held on Monday morning of
this week at which ali members of the
Commission were present with the eX-
ception of County Commissioner Friend,

in which he did the work
Shortly after the building was accept
ed the accompanying photograph of the
Commission, the builder, the architect
and superintendent was taken expressly
for THE REPUBLICAN by Stewart, the
photographer.
Capt. John M. Jarboe, of Oakland,
who is also a member of the Commits
sion, was appointed to superintend the
work on the part of the Commission
and he did his duty conscientiously and
well.
Going back into history a few years:
When Garrett county was created out
of that portion of Allegany county
lying westward of a certain line
{ avn due north from the Savage
River near the town of Bloomington,
it was several years before the then
elected County Commissioners would
provide suitable buildings for the trans
action of the public business. By the
intervention of the Court the Commits
siOners were compelled to erect the old
court house on the site selected at that
time, and in the year 1877 the building
was completed and turned over to the
public. From the beginning it was
neither convenient nor was it suited for
the purpose for which it was intended.
Year after year grand jury after grand
jury brought in arrignments of the
Boards of County Commissioners for
the unsanitary conditions which they
allowed to exist about the old jail and
the court house until few years ago
when the new Jail was erected, not,
however, until after patience ceased to
be a virtue. The original intention of
the Commissioners was to build the Jail
on lot located in the rear of the old
Jail and court house. The had pur-
chased lot wholly inadequate for the
size of the building in contemplation
and it was only after THE REPUBLICAN
had taken the matter up and led in the
fight for better end more central loca-
ton that the present was purchased,
much Of the money being contributed
by the public spirited citizens of Oak
land.
The Jail was built by a direct levy
upon the taxpayers, no bonds being

hands and at the converting of the court
on December 7th the formal ceremony
will take place.
The first office to be moved from the
old building is that of Clerk E. q.
Tower, who will complete the work of
moving the records and papers to his
new quarters today.

Populists Open the Campaign.

Populists Open the Campaign.
Nashville Ark, May 9.
Hon. JOS A. Parker opened the Peoples
Party National Campaign at this place today.
The Circuit Court room was packed from pit
to DOME Mr. Parker was in fine trim and
made telling speech; everybody we'll pleased.
The mention Of Watson s name brought forth
applause from the auditors. The speech will
be published and all can get the chance to read
it. Parker's appeal for Watson was very elo
quent He said that the Populist was the only
party that dared to nominate a Southern man
for President The speakers exposition Of
the St. Louis platform was an able effort.
Take it all in all the ratification meeting was
a "howlng success. - The city furnished mu-
sic by the Nashville Cornet Band. AS usual
the Populists lead the campaign.
Trouble in India
The English Government is much disturbed
over news from the East. Calcutta dispatches
Of May 4 tell Of the development Of conspi-
racy to assassinate many high officials, among
them General Lord Kitchener. Many per-
sons were arrested, and an examination of
some thirty suspects led to the conclusion
that widespread revolutionary plot was
forming. Meantime the Afghans are raiding
the northwestern frontier, and threatening a
general war. London dispatches indicate much
uneasiness, and decline in consols. For
country which has had the benefit Of the be-
nign rule Of Great Britain for a century or
more, India shows itself singularly ungrateful.
It is curious how people like to "boss" their
own governmental jobs, however troublesome
it may be.
Asset Currency Once More.
The Aldrich Currency Bill was put to sleep.
Likewise the Yreeland bill. Then the Repub-
lican brethren realized that something must
be done to appease their financial allies. So
the House Committee got together and evolved
a revised Vreeland bill. They expect to pass
this, under whip and spur, and send it
to the Senate It has no more merit than the
two previous abortions and is open to precise
to farm out to few the money issuing func-
ton of the Government. The Republican par
ty seems hopelessly committed to the idea
that Government exists to enable few peo-
pie to make money.
The Atlanta Fire.
On May Atlanta was visited by the most
disastrous fire in its history. new bust
ness district, adjacent to the Terminal Sta
ton, built up within three years, was almost
swept out of existence, between a. m. and

fact that constant checking upon the bank
without ever reinforcing the deposits, must
eventually result in the exhaustion Of the ac-

tiatlve, and called into council those who are

The Congress.
The President thunders his messages at
Congress and the Congress receives them, not
always poIltely-and does nothing. Let us
amend that; 1t does something: it spends more
money for expenses than any other governing
body in the world, and it constantly edges
around to see If it dare do little more for
the pampered favorites Of legislation for
whose benefit this government seems to be
run. The legislation Of this session for the
public benefit can be accurately described with

one-half millions of dollars. The insurance is
reported at something less than nine hundred
thousand dollars. There was, fortunately, no
loss Of life, and no serious casualties. 1t IS
reported that the entire district will be re-
built at once, though it is expected that the
buildings will be on somewhat less costly scale
than those destroyed. Coming as 1t does IN

La Porte, Ind, was recently burned, during
the night. In the ruins were found the char

to have been a professional murderess for
money. 1t seems now reasonably certain that
she was responsible for ten or twelve muir
ders.
On May 10, at Montgomery, Ala, one
James Kennedy "a negro), angry with his
wife, locked up the house with seven small
children inside and, setting fire to it, all the
children were burned to death.

all right as far as legal requirements
go. Heretofore Honolulu has been
governed in connection with the coun-
ty of Oahu, which forms the island of

the affairs of the county were most
closely identified with the city the ex
pedinency or necessity of a separate
administration is questioned by many
citizens.

Why Colds Are Dangerous.

Because you have contracted ordi.
nary colds and recovered from them
without treatment of any kind, do not
for a moment imagine that colds are
not dangerous. Everyone knows that
pneumonia and chronic catarrh have
their origin in &C ommon cold. Con
sumption is not caused by cold but
the cold prepares the system for the
reception and development of the
germs that would not otherwise have
found Judgment. 1t is the same with
all infectious diseases. Diphtheria,
scarlet fever, measles and whooping
cough are much more likely to be con,
tracted when the child has cold. You
will see from this that more real dan,
ger turks in cold than in any other
of the common ailments. The easiest
and quickest way to cure cold is to
take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.

by this preparation have made it sta,
