If the several township assessors will
strictly live up to the valuations they
have agreed on, there is no reason why
the taxable wealth of this county should
not be $3.50, 600 this year. An increased
valuation would be the occasion of no
heavier taxes, either, for just so much
money has to be raised anyway. 1t
would sound better to have it said that
the tax levy is but three per cent. on a
valuation of three millions, rather
than six per cent. on a million and a
half valuation.

a partnership with Mr.. r. A. Cameron
in the law and real estate business,

The worst thing that can be said of the

both have been members of the legis-

latter in Missouri. However, they will

The New IudRa.

Our citizens were surprised last Tues
day by Judge Ellis appearing in town
announcing his intention to hold term
of the District Court. 1t seems that
the bill creating the judicial district,
authorizing three terms year, the first
term to begin on the first Tuesday in
March. Judge Ellis received his COM
mission on Saturday, and started at
once for Coldwater. Neither attorneys,
witnesses or jurors were ready, and
about all that was done was to run over
the docket.
Judge Ellis adjourned court Tuesday
evening. He seems to be the right man
in the right place, and our people are
satisfied with their new judge.-Cold-

Last Friday Gov. Martin appointed
Hon. c. w. Ellis, of Medicine Lodge,
judge of this oath judicial district. We
understand that Mr.. Ellis is an able
lawyer and stands fair in the estimation
of every one. and we suppose is deserv-
ing of the place, but the appointment
shows that Governor Martin is owned
and controlled by few politicians, and
is not governing for the benefit of the
masses of the people but to favor few
pet politicians. Mr.. Chas. p. Wood
bury, Of this place, who was a candidate
for the position, was equally as well
qualified as Mr.. Ellis and had the united
endorsement of three-fourths of the
district, and should and would have
been appointed if the best interests of
the people had been considered. 1t is
more republican justice. Mr.. Wood
bury made the mistake of supposing
that Gov. Martin governed for the best
interests of the people of Kansas Clark
County Clipper.
OF course we believe that the COVER
nor did right in selecting Judge Ellis in
preference to Mr.. Woodbury., whose
only qualifications were that he was a
graduate of Yale and had very fine
library. Against HIM it was success
fully urged that he was "chuck full'' of
culchaw, eastern ideas and had no real
good everyday experience. lie was too

DEFAULTING TREASURES SURETIEs
HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS LIABILITIES
In the Circuit Court of Richmond yesterday
the trial in the case Of the Commonwealth
VS.. Samuel R. Sterling, late treasurer of
Rockingham county, and his sureties was
begun. This is suit, or rather a number of
suits, brought by the Commonwe alth on
three successive bonds, executed respective
ly in 1875, 1879, and 1888. Sterling proved
defaulter on all three, and the Common
wealth is now trying to hold his sureties
responsible for his liabilities. On the bond
of 1888 the amount sued for is about $50 900;
on that OF 1879 about 5000; on that of
1875 about $4,000. The defence is laches
and gross neglect on the part of the Com
monwealth, and that therefore the surities
are not liable.

An extraordinary fatality has occurred in

An extraordinary fatality has occurred in
British Guiana, where an inexperienced
traveller having, as is the custom in tropi.
ica countries, taken a refreshing draught
from the stem of one of the many water.
holding plants which thrive in the forests,
qualified his cold refreshment by a nip" of
rum. Shortly afterward he died in excru'
ciatipg agony, and post mortem examina-
ton showed that his internal organs were
literally sealed up with India rubber. He
had imbibed the sap of the mi,lusa's baldta,
the juice Of which coagulates and hardens
in alcohol, and the rum had its usual effect
in the poor mans stomach, with necessarily
fatal results
