Other Than of Minor Nature.
Are Reported

Richmond turned yesterday from
the course Of yore when, in the cele-
bration of Il safe ind sane Fourth. she
set a record for quiet and order that
was in marked contrast to some OF
the previous orgies that have gone
under the name Of a celebration Of the
day of national patriotism.
Perhaps the biggest event OF the
day, and the one that took the great
est crowd, was the ball game at Broad
street park. where seven thousand
Of the faithful sat through nine good
innings to see victory for our
boys. and even though the boys were
the same old Colts of the past and not
the longed- for orioles. yet the hoi
polloi did not seem to miss the Bal
tinoreaus. and throats were just as
raw at the close of the game AS In
former times The walloping handed
the Coolers in Peterstown in the
morning was witnessed By a large
number OF Richmond people. ana news
Of this game swelled the afternoon
crowd
Perhaps the emily strictly original
and unique feature of the day by
which Richmond may lay claim to
special celebration was the stunt put
on By some of the newly annexed ter
ritorv, Highland Park. where consid-
era BILE ginger was developed in the
course Of the celebration.
Little Interest Downtown.
In tbs downtown districts every
thing was on the g. T., and scarcely
a ripple of interest was felt on Main
street throughout the day. fireworks

reigned, and in no section was there
any great amount of powder con-
sumed.

CANDIDATE FOR ASSESSOR.

H. S. Pohe. our present Assessor,
announces this week that he is a can
didate for reelection to the office.
He is the Decorate nominee as
there is no one in that party contest
ing his nomination. And it looks as
though there would be no candidate
opposing him at the General Election.
Mr.. Pohe has made conscientious
Assessor during his term and has just
fairly gotten into harness and work
ing trim. The duties of the Office are
technical and numerous and it is a
hard office to fill and satisfy all OF the
taxpayers. 1t is always touchy mat
ter to value somebody elses property
for the purpose of taxation. We be
lieve Mr.. Pohe has been impartial in
his assessment and followed the law
as nearly as it was in his power to do
so. His candidacy is surely entitled
to due consideration by the taxpayers
of the county.
