a QUIET DAY.

Th"rr we're no murders or suicides yester-
day, nor anything startling to disturb the
peaceful serenity of the day. No artists
Were mound with buckets of gore to deco
rate the walls and towers of the Queen of
the Valley. The day was mild and people
congrcgatcd on the street corners discussing
the questions uppermost in the public mind:
Murder. Suicide, the markets. legislation,
constitutional amendments, the CHAMBERS.
Oklahoma. kissing, castor beans and sod
corn. The streets were muddy and pedes-
trianisn WAS unpleasant, nevertheless a large
number Of people circulated around. The
amount of grain in the market was rather
below the average, but the hay market was
jam,ned full; the price Is Sc per ton. The
plaintive voice of the auctioneer was heard
at five different places in the city. including
the horse and mule market The justices
had the usual Crist of small criminal cases
TO grind out. y Young ls-year-old, of the
don t-care-a-t.snn stripe, was up before
Justice Thomas. charged with knocking the
stuiting out Of one Frank Rodgers. He
said he did it and would again. He wal
lowed biz guild of tobacco about in his
mouth and didn't seem 20 care a cuss wheth-
er school kept or not. The witnesses were
not on hand and the trial was continued till
to-day. This trouble occurred on the west
side, so it appears the boys over there are
training for something bigger in the near
future. They don't want to be behind in
ANYTHING in that lively suburb.

Last evening little colorcd boy rejoicing
in the flustrious name Of Garfield, made q
raid upon the stock of pen-kniycs ut Kctch-
um's hardware store. The glas, in show

the sight of the elegant toad-stickeTs was too
much for the ambitious Arab, so he emu
lated the famous Jack Horncr and went him
n few better by putting in his hand ana
pulling out several Wade 4 Butchers and
IXLs. But alas, someone with a heyc like
a beagle detected the act fthe youthful
a?p:opriator and sending Tor the police the

pie In the country now than when
last We enjoyed the benefits Of pros-
p,rityg Quite the contrary; our
population il larger and there Is Mora
actual business 10 every way. Tie
trouble Is to be- traced not to the con.
sumers but 10 the manufacturers
Three years ago there was q great
b5om, goods could not be turned out
fast enough. and additions were built
80 many shops that were loo small,
ed larger stores were hired. ID
accommodate the stock ordered, aDsa
factories on The other side were eg-
larged to cope with the demands
from America. Ia the rush aud ea0.

stop to think that this could not last
forever, and that the day would come
when The the market would be gl0t.

II Is evident that the manufacturing

reaction Is bound to come. This Is

IMPORTANT DECISION Among the
recent decisions made By the Court.
Or Appeals. there il none moro impos-
tant TO the tax payers Or the State,
than the indexing case from Montgo-
merry county. The decision defines the
powers Of Boards Of County Commits
sIoDers In making appropriations and
paying claims, and also determines
that any tax payer can upon bis own
motion stop any unauthorized expen-
dItnre By these officials. This decis-
lon Is Of spec!ol importance to thsss
Boards, because it viii deter them
from going beyond legal restraints,
and make them more careful 10 the
expenditure Of money procured By
taxation. They are not clothed with
arbitrary powers, but should In all
cases be governed by sound judg-
ment and prudence 10 making corr
tracts and appropriations, and under
ali circumstances endeavor to act
within The bounds Of legal authority
Narrow minded economy Is sometimes
Is bad as reckless extravagance-but
there il just balance between tbs
two, IN which Al Legislation afIectiDg
the rights and interests Of taxpayers
ought to be carefully weighed. La
building bridges or roads. or any
other public convenience. the public
good should 30 studied, and not prI-
vate interests.
