FATHER FATALLY WOUNDS
DAUGHTER BY ACCIDENT
Mr.. George W. Witt. Near Oakland
Stumbled and Discharged Gun.

Probably the most regrettable &C
cldent ever occurring in this community
took place on Sunday morning about
eight O'Clock when Mr.. George w. Wilt,
who resides half a mile north Of Oak
land, accidently shot and fatally wound
ed his daughter Ethel MAY Wilt, aged
"a years.
In statement made to The Repubf-
can by Mr.. Wilt on Monday morning
the following facts relative to the IN
fortunate occurrence are CLEANED:
The daughter had undertaken this
spring to raise chickens of which she
had number, but recently several had
been killed. On Sunday morning she
was engaged in feeding and caring for
them when she saw a rat cross the yard
in the rear of the house and called to
her father who was sitting on the front
porch of the home. Responding to her
call he went into the dwelling and
picked up his shot gun, passing through
the rear door to the yard and going
toward where the rat had been seen he
told his daughter to go into the house.
AS she reached the door of the summer
kitchen Mr.. Wilt, with the gun cooked,
trOd upon stick or rolling stone which
caused his ankle to turn and unconsci
ously he threw up his hands and max
ing a slight turn the gun went off, the
load of No. shot piercing his daughters
breast and stomach, her death ensuing
about an hour and half later.
The young lady was one of the first
graduates from the Oakland High
School, graduating at the age of six
cen years. Her class mates were Mrs.
Grover Stemple and Mrs. ]. |. Sollars.
From childhood the deceased lady was
a member of st. Paul's NJ. E. church
from which church her funeral occurred
Tuesday afternoon at 230 O'Clock and
was largely attended, evncing the high
esteem in which she was held in the

WESTERN MARYLAND
} FEELS TAX INCREASE
State Tax Commission Has Doubled
Taxes On Large Industries.

The last Legislature passed a bill
making a State Tax Commission. The
members of the commission were named
in the bill. The people of this COM
munlty will remember that this measure
was passed through the Legislature
which was heavily Democratic with
the implied threat that if the Governor
would refuse to sign the blll practically
all his powers would be taken away,
says the Hagerstown Herald. 1t will
be remembered that previous to the
meeting of the Legislature Democratic
politicians noted for their political
activity and unrelenting partlsanship
conferred together and determin-
ed at the meeting of the Legis-
lsture to deprive the Governor of his
entire appointive power. These plans
were made known in a tentative sort of
way in order to sound out the public
sentiment on them. The response was
so vigorous in condemning the scheme
to grab offices that the plan was in a
large measure dropped. However,
several bills were prepared in which the
persons to hold the offices to be created
were named, along with the measure
establishing the commission. Just
who named these oficeholders, whether
it was Sonny" Mahon or John Walter
Smith, it is impossible to say. No
body is responsible for the appointments
apparently, and it does look as though
anyone wants to be responsible for the
work of this State Tax Commission
that was conceived by some democratic
politicians and forced through Demo-
cratic legislation under whip and spur
This same commission is an expensive
luxury to the state of Maryland, cost
ing $4,000 or more for salaries and
soft snaps to do the work that was
satisfactorily done for years at COM
paratively trifling cost to the taxpayers.
Previous to this tax commission, the
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1915-07-08

entire cost of this department of the
state government did not amount to
much more than $15. 900.
The people of this state have been
wondering just how much this State
Tax Commission was really going to cost
before they were through with it. They
have been waiting in fear and trembl-
ing to hear from its work. The worst
suspected has been realized. The in
dustres of the state. those of Western
Maryland especially, have felt the
weight of the heavy hand. Taxes have
been increased from 300 per cent. to go
per cent. on the industries of Washing
ton county and in one instance nearly
$500 per cent. There is no appeal.

MISS ELLEN CRAIG.

Miss Ellen Craig, Of Hutton. died on
Tuesday morning, June Doth. aged IS.
Miss Craig was gentle, sweet spirit
ed lady; an earnest devout christian.
She was highly esteemed by all who
knew her. In early life she became a
christian and united with the Presbv-
terrain church. For some time she and
her brother James lived together and
conducted the post office at Hutton. Her
life was such as to commend her rel
gion.
She was able to attend to her duties
until within short time of her death,
when she failed rapidly. She knew her
end was at hand, yet she met it with
perfect composure and sweet resigna-
ton, without a fear, but like a tired
child she rested in the arms of her
Saviour and fell asleep. The word of
God was the food of her soul.
Another bright light has passed over
the river and she is at rest with her
master.
After a brief service at her home her
remains were brought to the home of
her sister. Mrs. Connell, where services
were held in the presence of her de-
voted friends. The interment was
made in Oakland cemetery.
"She has passed away.
But her sweet good will
Like fragrant odor fingers still. "
The tender lesson that memory brings
The mantle of patience Ter US filings
We learn to follow the path she trod
To be more like her
Who has gone to God.
The lesson for US is to
''Be ready! many fall around,
Our loved ones disappear;
We know not when our call may come,
Nor shauld we wait in fear;
If ready. We can calmly rest;
Living or dying we are blest.
A FRIEND.
