He Iras won the esteem of every man In Cumberland county on account of his fairness and calm judicial mind. He has no hobbleV, no eccentricities. He is nlike to rich -and noor and his name has been placed before the publlo In this candidacy simply because he pos sessed In eminent degree the qualities needed on tho Supreme Bench.. A representative from that section of Pennsylvania in Which Cumberland is situated is needed and In the state there la no man hotter fitted than V. F. Sadler. Councilman Lamb's statement that the Hehald Is trying to projudico the people against him la a fairy tale. When Mr. Lamb entered the political field he yt&b prejudiced. against every one whom he imagined was against him. He, like a few more in town, will eventually learn that the people he has been denouncing were his friends and those he placed his hopes tipon destroyed him and sold him out, body and breeches. We fear tho gentleman la suffering from what Is termed as "swelled head." It seems that Mr. Lamb, with the assistance of two or three henchmen inspired more by greed than principle, is trying to becqme a leader of ideal politics, but it can safely be predicted that he will eventually run the length of his rope 2 Kb.

BEARING FRUIT ALREADY. Ono Advantage of tho Electric Railway. The electric railway bus become an im poitant factor in tho work of bringing the attention of outsiders to our town. Almotl evory day tho Hkrald receives a com. raunication from some part of the state ro questing information regarding thelocatioD of tho town, when the electric railway will bo running and what will bo the relations ot Shenandoah to other towns in the v-U' ley when tho ro&d is )n operation. One gentleman who seeks a hotel site and made known his desire through tho Herald columns is now in communication with town parties. A gontleman from Missouri was in town last evening and viewod sev eral sites which he considered suitable for a wholesale meat market to be conductod for a western company as the local agency of Swift's Chicago meat company is con ducted. The gentleman rolueod to indi cate tho sites ho had viewed, or give any information that might create a boom in the prices of altos. lie said ha roprc sonted a very large and wealthy concern and that his visit was not tho first made to town within tho pat few months in the interest of tho company. Tho visitor would not say whether or not he would make an offer of rental of any of tho sites, nor would he indicate when an offdr will be made. He said when tho proper time comes a proposition will bo made i'or one of tho places and if it is accepted the bargain will be closed promptly. lie was very favorably impressed with the town and ox pressed tho opinion that the valloy and surrounding country would k?ep moro than ono wholesale meat company buy at a profit.

AN UNSATISFACTORY GONFERENGE Another Effort to be Mado to Meet the County Commission ers Again Borough Solicitor Pomoroy's Opinion. COMMUNICATION is to bo tent to the County Commission er by the taxpayers committee, asking when the officials will he ready for a hearing in regard to tho assess ment of properties In this town. For a time it looked as if the citizens' meeting called would bo a failure. The people were' slow in getting to the placo and straggled In by ones and twos for about an hour. But by eight o'clock tho patienco of the early arrivals was rewarded by quite a large gathering. M. E. Doyle was made chairman and W. J. Catkins secretary. The chairman stated that the object of the meeting was to consider the report of the assocsjrs on their visit to the County Commissioners and determine upon some method for settlement of the matter. Assessor Cullen made a statement in which ho said that Assessor Brennan, of the First ward, handed his book to Com missioner I) iwos, who askod tho rate at which properties bad been assessed. Mr. Brennan told him the rate was "one-half, or a little more, perhaps," whereupon Mr. Bowes told him to take the book away and mako a proper assessment. Mr., Bowes also asked the rate at which coal landshad been assessed and, when told that tho rate was the same as heretofore, with tho exception of additions for improvements, tho Com missioners ordered that all coal lands bo assessed at ?1,CX) per acre. Addresses were made by Messrs. B. G. IIoss, James Bell, B. J. Yost, William Kimmel.'S. A. Beddall, Goorgo ICrick, M. II. Kehler.'M. P. Fowler, Michaol Gra ham, James Champion, Evan J, Davis and J. H. Pomeroy, Esq. It was stated that although all tho County Commissioners were ia the court bouse when the assessors and their assistant com mittee wero in waiting for an hour or more, it .was'Imosiiblotogot them, as a board, to.aHbrd a hearing. After tho long wait tho assessor! were referred to County Com missioner Bowes, It seems that the Com missioners divided the assessment business into three divisions and Shenandoah is in the division assigned Mr. Bowo3. The other Commissioners havo settled tho as sessments In their dietricts satisfactory to all parties. Borough Solicitor Pomeroy responded to a requost for an opinion. lie said he did not think tho County Commissioners have power to instruct tho i assessors to assess coal lands at $1,000, or any other particular figure. This would lake the work out of the assessors' hands. Ho thought the proper method would bo for the assessors to join in an affidavit sotting forth the facts and asking tho court for a rule to show cause why their books should not bo ac cepted by tho Omnty Commissioners. Then the court will be in a position to con sider the whole subject. "I am very sure the court will not say it is the duty of tho assessors to follow the express instructions of the Commissioners 10 far as tho levying of the assessments is concornod," said Mr, Foxeroy in conclusion. Mr. ICimmel asked what guarantoe the borough had that tho Commissioners would not roduco tho assessments, whereupon Mr. Beddall stated that 12 yoars ago the late Jere. Mears put up the coal lands to $1,200 and subsequently the oourt reduced the land of tho west tract to $060 and that of the east tract to $150. Air. Beddall oouldnotseo the use of putting the ooal lands up to $1,000 under that dooislon. The court would not roverso its own decision. Much of the ooal land Is not as valuable now as it was 12 years ago. If the coal land so be raited to $1,000 and the valuation of Individual properties in town should bo increased to their full value as laid down by tho Commissioners the burden. Iff- 2Sr would eventually fall upon tho poor people, as they are' not able, like the coal com panies, to go into court and fight for a reduction. Mr. Beddall alsa state i that throe yars ago tbo valuation of coal' lands was again cut ddwn and the figure fixed at $325, but he was not prepare 1 to say who mado that reduction. Mr. Kimmel said the County Commis sioners mado tho reduction. Mr.. Bell could not understand how the coal lands wuro decreasing in valuo and in dividual properties were increasing. The more coal taken out is only undermining tho properties so much more. Mr. Iless said that .if the conl hinds should bo Increa-od to$l 000 and the indi vidual properties should bo loft at one-hall their value tho coal companies would g into court and have tho wholo assessment upset on tho ground of discrimination and, perhaps, havo good grounds upon which to prosecute tho assessors. Finally, after a diuussiun o the situa tion for over an hour, a motion by Mr. Kehior that tbo assessors, in conjunction with the committee appointed by tho citi zons, write to tho County Commissioners and ask them to fix a date for a hearing in regard to tho assessments in Shenandoah was carried. Another mooting of the citizens will be hold alter the Ojmmissioners an wcr. PERSONAL. Mrs. Connick has again taken charge of the culleo house. John A.

Who will mako tho start ? The only drawback to base ball in town has boon tho poor location of tho ground. Why, then, should tho ontbuslantii ht.sltif wqun this drawback is doo hwuv with hv tho electric railway ? The good old days of "Patsey" Rollins a'id "Baby" Crolius made Shenandoah a live y placo one summer and it can bo so the coming season, at less expense, if the preliminary work is started in proper time.

The question then arose as to what would become of the children if both hus band and wifo would eo to iail. Tim woman was finally decided upon as the one to go down, as she is to Btand trial on 4ev erai old cases. As she showed figbt when she suspected the arrangement tho" o9bois put both her and her husband on the train for Pottsville at 4:10. As tho train pulled out from the Pnnsylvania depot the hus band was allowed to escape, which be did from the rear car, unnoticod by bis wife. who tat contentedly in a front car with the Constable, telling him, "What fon dot feller no want to go jail.
