An editorial note, which
appeared in the GRAPHIC three
weeks ago, many have been to a
certain extent misleading. 1t
stated that the official records of
the county were Investigated by
the Prosecuting attorney. This
may have led some to believe that
the books and accounts of all the
county officials had been investi-
gated. This was not the case,
only the books auu accounts of
the clerks having been overhauled.
The County Clerks records were
Investigated for period covering
over four years, and it was found
that in addition to the deputy hire
unlawfully retained by him, quite
a sum in fees for the acknowledge
ments of deeds, chattel mortgages,
etc, had been retained in direct
violation of the law, as published
last week.
The electoral messenger
from Texas presented himself at
the capitol Monday, and presented
the envelope containing the cleo
toral vote of Texas to Senator
Ingalls,. 1t was not received be-
cause it was not accompanied by a
certificate of the electors as to the
contents. Senator Coke at once
telegraphed the Governor of Texas
informing him of the fatal omis-
sion, and advising him to convene
the electors at once, and have them
make out a return in conformity
with the law. The electoral count
takes place next Monday and as
the time is so short, should any
thing occur to prevent the meet
ing of the electors, the vote of
Texas will not be counted. The
electoral votes of Maryland and
Delaware were deficient in the
same manner as that of Texas and
J the electors of those states have
been summoned to meet at their
respective capitols and make out
correct returns.

WHAT THE CLUB Is FOR.
In the proprietor's Office on a shelf was a row
of candles and near them we're several bottles
and club. Some times, said the proprietor,
"a man will come in who shows signs of
lntoXlcatlon. and during the night he may have
an attack OF nervousness or deiirium tremens,
and then the contents of the bottle are used
ana always with good effect. Such persons
sometimes become troublesome. '.And the
club, he continued, ''that is used in the en-
forcement of the strictest rules of the house.
VI course every man must take bath before
renrlng and he cannot carry any food to the
sleeping rooms with him. Above all things he
must not carry to the bed rooms a bottle Of any

direction when a STAR reporter visited the
markets today. The Christmas turkey is loom
ing up. and by Monday and Tuesday will be in
fine feather. "fg oratively speaking, for the most
OF tn m will be without feathers at all They
are, IN most cases. undergoing the preliminary
work OF having their heads chopped of today.
The real shipments for Christmas will begin to
arrive Sunday night and Monday morning. The
commission merchants are asking II to IA cents
a pound today for them. and they are retailing
at 10 to Is cents. They would probably be
higher, but the weather IS exceedingly unpro-
pitious and prices are consequently ruling low.
Large quantities are in town now and every
effort is being made to work them off. What
ia left over will have to be well packed
in ice over Sunday-even then they
will deteriorate and sell for less Mon
day. Quite a number of wild turkeys
are arriving, but they do not sell as well as one
would imagine from their reputation for deli
cacy OF flavor. They come for the most part un-
drawn and from distance, both OF which facts
work against them. The poultry dressed in the
city sells for more than that dressed before
shipment, merely from appearance, though,
perhaps, no better and often not as good
Poultry dealers have way of fixing" stock to
improve the appearance and make them SELL
1t is far easier to select good turkies when they
are dressed with the head and feet on. The
eyes will be bright and full. the feet soft and
joints pliable-the whole skin Of the turkey
will look soft and clean, showing layers OF yell
lowish fat and white flesh beneath. Hen tur-
keys are smaller than males and are not con-
sidered as finely favored.
WHERE THEY COME FROM.
The greatest bulk of turkies received in
Washington come from Virginia. As a rule
they are the best received In very cold
weather the shipments from the west are very
large, but in such warm muggy weather as We
are having now the western shipments are very
light, if any. Turkies are sometimes kept on
hand considerable time by the cold storage
process. but they are not SO good, as many who
buy them for fresh, new stock soon discover.
