Report of Receipts and Disburse
ments for Last Year.
The cemetery association that
has had the care of the ceme etery
for the past two seasons held a
meeting at the treasurer's office
Monday evening. Among other
business attended TO Phil. G.
Saunders was elected a mem Der
OF the committee in place uf
Henry S. Volkmar, as the latter
is about to remove from Milbank
to the Pacific coast. The com
mlttee now consists of G.. l..
Wood, b. Emanuel, Phil. G. Saun-
ders, n. }. Bleser, ". W. Downie.
Ihe com mlttee decided to i'm.
medlately commence the work
OF putting the cemetery grounds
in order. To do this properly it
Will be necessary that every lot
owner contribute to the fund
necessary for this purpose.
The grounds are now fenced
and are in better shape than they
have ever been before at this
time of the year, but for several
months will need the care Of a
man to clean them up and keep
the grass and weeds down. By
a little help from every one who
should be interested in beautify
ing and keep in a presentable
manner this the city of our dead,
the cemetery can be made a
beauty spot rather than the neg.
lected eye-sore it has been in
times past. 1t is the inten ton
OF the committee in charge of the
work to proceed with the work
just as far as the funds in hand
will warrant-and no further, so
that if you contribute to this
worthy cause you should do so
at once. They have decided to
call for a contribution of 50. 90
from every lot holder and a
prompt response should be made
to this appeal The man in charge
OF the work will not only care for
the lots for which the contribu
ton is made, but will clean and
care for the walks, keep water
pumped for watering purposes,
etc, add special requests given

NOT WORRYING THE GOV
ERNOR,

Governor Swanson apparently is mol
the least bit disturbed about the bill to
be offered in Congress BY Representa-
tive Hayes, OF California, with The idea
Of extending the limits OF the District
of Columbia"
This measure contemplates the &C.
QUESTION OF a slice Of Alexandra county
Va, though 1t does not include the
towns OF Alexandra aud Falls Church.
Ia word, 1t aims to recover the terri
tory which was originally coded by the
siate for the purposes of the District,
but which Congress gave back to the
old commonwealth by act approved
July 9, 1886.
Representative Hayes thinks the ma
tionsl legislature, once having acquired
the land, had no right to give 1t back.
Thu, OF course, raises legal point

sage, would mean a big lawsuit.
The California member, 10 his bill
authorizes the president TO open nego'
tlati7ns with this state aud 10 pay the
Old Dominion such a sum as may be
mutually sgresd upon by Way Of com
pensslion for the relirquishment Of
sovereignty.
The bill further provides, however,
that II 1t be impossible to conclude the
negotiations with Virginia prior to Jolly

OF Columbia and the exclusive legislation
by Congress, together with all the rights
and Jurisdiction of the same, shall ex.

exception of the two towns already men

Governor Swanson does not take thg
