SHOT IN The LEG
Youthful Rileman Puts Sulle; in
Companions Anatomy Thursday.

Last Thursday afternoon a number Of
boys whose ages ranged from to y
years, were at play with rife near the
old dead pond, " adjacent to Oakland,
when one shot another through the leg,
the bullet entering the limb from be-
hind and below the knee and came out
in front, making d ragged wound, and
the at same time a painful one.
The youth who was shot was David
Burke and his companion was Francis
Goss, both of whom are quite young
and no doubt were unaware of the dan
gerous nature of the sport they were
engaged in until after the accident,
which may have been a really serious
one. had occurred. After being shot
Teddy" walked to his home, a dis
lance of probably half mile from the
spot where he met with his mlshap,
and DR.. Legge was called who rendered
surgical treatment. The wounded bov
has recovered from his injury and seems
to have suffered no ill effects as re-
suit.

CITY COUNCIL. MEETING.
Routine and Other Business Matters
Transacted By the City Fathers.

To eliminate some items of expense
and economic along all lines of munich
pal government is the watchword of the
city authorities at present in Office, was
evidenced at the regular monthly meet
ing of that body held Monday night
when the pumpman employed at night
at the water works was asked to resign
and a renewal of the electric lighting
contract now in force, or rather which
terminated with the outgoing council on
April list, was refused because some
terms of the contract were deemed I'M
fair to the town, namely that clause
making the town responsible for the
expense of renewals of bulbs, the cost
of extending and equipping the lines be-
yond the present terminals of the pole
lines, etc.
A special meeting of Council was
held last night when the elect nc light
ing contract was again considered and
the owner of the plant, Mr.. D. E. Of
futt, who agreed to the terms elimina-
ting the clauses above referred to, sub
mitted a second proposal when the
Council made a counter proposition
which will have the effect of reducing
street lighting about $500 per year and
be in effect for the term of five years.
This counter proposition was taken IN
der advisement by Mr. Offutt and a
second meeting will occur shortly to
definitely settle the matter.
A proposal for lighting the streets by
natural gas was presented by represent
atives of the Northern Natural Gas
Company. 1t was deemed that while
the cost of gas lighting would be cheap
er yet the service would mot be as ade-
quate as electric lighting.
The resignation of Arthur Lawton,
day engineer at the municipal water
works, was received and accepted to
take effect May 18th. Mr. Lee K.
Mason was elected by Council, at sal
airy of $50 per month to succeed Mr..
Lawton. A number of applicants We're
after the position.

THE GENERAL ASSESSORS
FAILED TO QUALIFY TUESDAY
Mr.. Stanton Has FIatlY Refused to
Serve. and Mr.. Miller May Follow Suit.

The assessors for Garrett county, I'M
der the provisions of the general assessA
ment law, were expected to meet and
qualify at the court house in Oakland
Tuesday preliminary to beginning their
labors as public officials, but owing to
the refusal of the General Assessors,
Mcssrs. Charles M. Miller, of Swanton,
and Uriah M. Stanton, of Grantsvile,
both appointees of Governor Crothers,
to qualify, no organization of the asses
sQrs was effected, and the probabilities
are that two new assessors general will
have to be appointed by the Governor.
certainly one, as Mr.. Stanton fatty re-
fused to assume the duties and Mr.. Mil
Ter, unless he experiences a change of
mind, will likely follow Mr.. Stantons
lead.
The district assessors, who were APP
pointed by the County Commissioners
at the special meeting of the Board
held last Wednesday, were all present
and qualified by taking the oaths OF Of
fee, but the failure of the general
assessors to obigate themselves as Of
ficials prevented the transaction of any
business, except that the printed IN
structions, prepared under the pro-
visions of the new law, were distributed
to the local assessors.
Mr.. Stanton, who is peculiarly well
qualified to become a general assessor,
gave as his reason for refuslng,to swear
IN as such that private business inter
ests occupied his entire time and even
though the compensation were double
what the law provides, So per day, he
could not in justice to himself, afford to
devote the entire summer and much of
next fall to the work of making the
assessment, and that he would without
delay forward his resignation to Gov
ernor Crothers.
Mr.. Miller, the other general assessor,
had not definitely decided when he left
Oakland Tuesday afternoon whether
to accept or reject the appointment,
but left his friends under the impression
that he, too, could not affordsto neglect
his private interests to serve.

NEW OWNER Of BOND
MILL TOOK CHARGE.
Mr.. Bond, the Retiring Superintendent
and Part owner, Banqueted His
Men Saturday.

Preliminary to turning oyer to the
new owner the immense numbering
plant at Bond, this county, by the form
er proprietors, Messrs. Dubois & Bond
Bros, an elaborate supper was served
at the hall in Bond by the retiring su-
perintendent and part owner, Mr. N.
". Bond, last Saturday night, when two
hundred and fifteen employees were
served with all that the markets of the
cities and country could afford. The
occasion wi be one long to be remem-
bered by both the host and his guests,
for many of the latter had been in the
employ of the retiring owners of the
plant since it was erected and the part
ing in some instances was touching in
the extreme. The men held Mr.. Bond
in high regard and his feeling for them
was entirely reciprocated.
During Mr.. Bonds superntendency
Of the works no labor troubles occurred
and it has been the boast OF both en-
ployer and employee that at the Bond
mill the question of labor and capital
was solved without strikes, demands
or friction Of any kinds MIR. Bond
took his men into his confidence and
the result was that all worked together
in harmony.

pear at the Opera house for limited
engagement beginning Thursday.
That this kind of entertainment is
in keeping with the requirements of
the time is proved by the liberal pat
ronage being given everywhere since
capacity audiences are the rule
wherever this company appears and at
q time, too. when scores of companies
organized in accordance with old ideas
have been going to the wall.
Mr.. OFT believes in giving the pub
lie amusement, clean. refreshing and
entertaining amusement. and the mu-
steal comedies he presents have been
written with this one idea in view
There is plot, of course, in each
production but not of the problem or
der, simply thread for introducing
the various talents of his supporting
given every opportunity for holding
the middle of the stage though, per-
haps. only appearing in a minor role.
Mr.. OFT himself is very liberal as
compared with other stars in this re-
spect, probably because he realizes
his own strength. Consequently there
is nothing but laughter from start to
finish and those who have never seen
him before, on departing from the
Opera house are fully convinced that
musical comedy at popular prices is
an assured success where Phil OFT
and his comedians hold the boards.

"A Gentleman From Mississippi"

The keynote of the story of "a
Gentleman from Mississippi" in which
William A. Brady announces the en-
inent comedian Thomas A. Wise at
the Opera house on Tuesday, Oct IS,
is pure politics for Americans. While
the play is one of the most laughable
comedies that has been produced in
many years, there is serious SUBJ
stratum beneath the fun that is bound
to make people think.
Mr.. Wise, co-author of the play and
creator of the role of Senator Lang
don. with his old fashioned ideas of
national and personal honor, is par
ticularly happy in the role for he lives
the part in his every day life. He is
delivering lectures on the subject in
each large city visited by the COM
pany, and is doing work of rare ed
ucational value. William A. Brady
will send the entire company. that ap-
peared in support of Mr. Wise for 16
weeks last season at the Park theatre,
Boston. for this engagement.

most attractive things now before the

charm of novelty to ladies and others
who have never attended a real trial.

1t is reported that there is Peep
ing Tom" over on the east side of the
river, who has caused some annoyance
by looking in at the windows of houses
on School street, and that at least one
citizen has vowed vengeance on the
fellow If he can lay hands on him.
The man in question got after the
pepper the other night but the latter
was fleet of foot and the only result
of the chase was that the man behind
fell over the handles of wheelbar-
row, which he did not see in the dark
ness, scraping his shins and nearly
losing his wind from the bump which
he got on the ground. He is still on
the watch for the other fellow and al
lows that if he can't catch him by run

that will reach him every time.
