We have noticed in several OF the

that deer were very scarce this sea-

this locality the hunters must have
been very plenty and hunted with I'M

many deer shipped out of this town
before as there has been this season.
There has not been day during the

COUNTY SUPERINI,ENDEN
The county board have come to the
conclusion that it is bad enough to
have the county schools go without
the benefits of superin tendent with
out paying the superintendent for
doing nothing and at their last meet
ing passed resolution requesting
PrideauX to resign and instruting the
clerk to draw no more orders for his
salary. This is a right move. Res
iding as he does at Hurley he can not
give the schools Of this county any
attention and it is mighty cheeky in
him to try and draw his salary with
out doing any Of the work. We
understand that he still claims,
Rhinelandcr rs his residence and pre-
dict that it will take more than y re
solution by the county board TO
cause him to resign.

Hermann, Mo, April 25.-Webster jack
son was hanged here this morning at u.
N. He made no confession, and met his
fate with the same indifference he has
shown during his long confinement.
On October 20, 1856. near Labadie, jack
son shot and killed Alexander McVickers,
then cut his throat and rified his pockets.
He made his escape and went to Hamilton,
Ohio, where he was arrested on charge of
horse stealing. He was identified as the
murderer of McVickers, and was brought
here in December, 1885, tried, found guilty
and sentenced to hang.

amined into by a subcommittee and then

items of expenditure it is not surprising
that Mr.. Gresham as chairman of the COM

appropriations recommended by the COM
mittee.
In view of the purposes for which the in
creased appropriations provided 1t Is ap-
pretended that the members of the Twenty
third legislature will not fear TO meet their
constituency on that issue.
The appropriations were placed under the
control of the various branches of the gov

be spent whether needed or not. The
finance committee of the house reported he
stated, in answer to objections that the
amounts might be larger than necessary,
that it was
THE PART OF WISDOM
to appropriate too much rather than too
little, as the appropriation would not be
used if not needed. 1t isvery safe to say that
Governor Hogg will exercise the same vigi-
lance as to the proper expenditure OF the
money that lie does over other interests OF
the people and that there viii be no extrav-
agance during his administration in appro-
priations over which he has control.
ANOTHER STATEMENT.
The statement has also been made that
this administration has signalized its ad
vent to power by adding a number of new
bureaus and offices to the government, and
in order to make the contrast between this
and the Ross administration the more
marked it is claimed that the government
machinery was not enlarged and extended
during Governor Ross term of office. AS
matter of fact, the bureau and Office Great
ing record of both administrations TO date
stands as follows:
