Vacant Portfolio


WASHINGTON, Feb 21.-The President to-
day nominated Charles Foster of Ohio to be
Secretary of the Treasury. The nomination
Is favorably received about the Capitol.
Foster is, it is said, thoroughly in accord
with the Presidents financial policy.
and conservative man whose OF inions
are all favorable to sound, stable
currency. The Republicans generally ex-
press themselves well satisfied with the
Presidents selection, and the Demo-
Gratis who have been seen said they had
nothing to say against it, concedimg that
the President had right to select advisors
in accord with his policy. Representative
Mckinley said: "Foster will demonstrate
the wisdom of the Presidents selection. He
is sound on finance and is an able man.
New YORK, Feb. 21.-Ex-Guvernor Fos-
ter was officially notified of his appointment

THE sOUTHERN SOCIETY.
Remarks at the Fifth Annual Dinner in New

Remarks at the Fifth Annual Dinner in New
York.
NEW YORK. Feb. q. - The fifth an
nual dinner Of the Southern Society Tonight
was success in every way. Among the
speakers was Hugh Wallace Of Tacoma, who
spoke on the Southerner on the Pacific slope
he said that for more than hundred years
silent army has been marching from the
East toward the West. No silken banners
have waved above ii, aud no blaze of trun-
pet or beat of drum has heralded its
Progress. And yet its c0nQuests have been
grander than those of Peru or Mexico. its
victories more glorious than those of
Marengo, Fredland or Austerlitz. 1t has
subdued an empire richer than the In dies
without inftcting the cruelties of Give or
the exactiOns of a Hastings, and for
more than thirty years past the region in
which the most of those l see around me
first saw the light has Jain PROSTATE,
borne down by titanic struggle,
whose blighting force fell wholly upon
her. FOR more than generation her
enterprise has seemed exhausted, her
strength waned and her glory departed.
And yet size has not failed 10 furnish her
full quota to the grand army of conquest to
carry TO completion the great work which
Boone, Crockett and Houston-all her sons
began, and which her genius alone made
possible. In conspicuous contrast to the
the East has never fully encour-
aged nor sympathized with the
West. Whether it be in legislation or poll
tics. or finance, the Western idea has ever
failed TO command the earnest attention to
which it is entitled. There is sentiment
which is growing more general and vigor-
Gus every day in the Far West that the time
is near at hand when it will decline to ad-
here to the fortunes of any leader or party
which recklessly ignores its claims or per
Slstentiy refuses it recognition. 1t is very
significant fact, Mr.. President, that this great
region. containing one-fourth of the national
area, one-seventeenth Vf the population aud
constituting one-Seventh of the whole num-
Der OF States, has had up to this time but one
member of the Cabinet. In the present Cabi-
net fourteen Staies-east OF the Mississippi
and north of the old Mason and Dixon's line
have seven members and the remaining
thirty States have but one. Those thirty
states will see to it in the future that the
party which succeeds through their support

Mr.. Gebert Denies That He Sell

MIR. Gebert Denies That He Sells
Beer to Children.
The statement was published last even
ing that Jacob Gebert had been arrested
for selling beer to minors.
Mr.. Gebert afterward called at the
RECoRD-UNIoN office and said he had
been absent in the country all day; that
the publication referred to was all that he
knew of the matter, and if arrested he
was not aware Of the fact.
He said. however, that he had filled
small orders for beer to be delivered by
minors to their parents. officer Shook
had informed him two days ago that
somebody had complained of his deliver
ing beer to minors, when he showed the
officer written orders sent by parents.
upon which he had delivered it. He said
that ever since the notices were sent out
against selling liquor to minors he has re-
quired all minors coming to his place for
beer to bring written orders from their
parents showing that the beer was for the
latter, and not for the children. He had
sent instructions to this effect to all those
in the habit of sending to his place for
beer.
Mr.. Gebert emphasizes the fact that he
desires to obey the law, and would not
sell beer to any minor for the latter's own
use. He had been of the opinion that in
requiring written orders from parents he
was acting clearly within the spirit and
intent of the law, believing that the order
was sufficient evidence that the beer was
for the persons signing the order and not
for the minor who came for it.

CoURTHousE PLuMnINa-

Health Officer c. b. Nichols appeared
before the board and made little speech.
The doctor said that complaints had
reached him of late CONCERNING the sani-
tary condition OF the Courthouse. At the
request Of one of the Superior Judges the
doctor and the Plumbing Inspector had
made an examination of the plumbing
system, and found it to be in a horrible
state. Unbearable odors arose constantly
from the closets at the end of the Court
house corridor, preventing the opening
Of the windows in the courtrooms. The
pipes leaked, were stopped up, and the
whole system was hopelessly bad. a
practical illustration OF the faulty plumb
ing was witnessed by the doctor in the
Assessors ONCE the other day. The
wash bowl was in use, and when the plug
had been taken out TO admit the discharge
of the water, sewer gas could be seen
bubbling up from the pipes. The doctor
believed that the existing system was
dangerous to the health OF the occupants
Of the Courthouse. 1t should be torn out.
and more modern appliances substituted.

THEY'RE STILL At IT.

Sanitary Condition of the Courthouse

vertising Rates.

AT their session yesterday the Super
visors resumed the assault upon unneces-
sary county expenses, which they set in
motion on Tuesday.
The first ''kick" of the day was made
when a. Coolot's bill for couple of boxes
of chewing tobacco for the County Jail
was reached. The bill bore the so. X -
of Deputy Sheriff II. NJ. Johnson.
Mr.. Bates wanted to know who had
authorized Deputy Johnson to purchase
the tobacco, and so did Mr.. Black
Chairman Greer said that such orders
could only be made through the Super
visors, and he proposed to investigate.
Deputy Johnson was then sent for.
ONE ON BLACK.
"Who authorized you to buy this to-
bacco?' asked Mr.. Greer, looking very
austere.
"Black did," serenely replied the
deputy.
Mr.. Black scratched his head and said
he may have done so, but believed writ
ten orders should accompany all future
bills of the kind.
The deputy was instructed to buy moth
ing without such an order and the Su-
peryisorS seemed to agree that TRUSTEES
were not entitled to the seductive weed,
anyway.
The next "kick" was on a bill for
$40 for mattresses for the county jail.
These had been ordered by Under Sher-
III Bugbey.
Mr.. Bugbey was summoned before the
august body, and Chairman Greer pro-
ceeded to read the riot act' to him, so to
speak.
Mr. Bugbey did not get excited at all,
and explained that although the Sheriff
had the right to go ahead and order such
supplies independent of the Board of Su-
pervisors, yet he preferred to humor
them whenever he could. He usually
waited until he received an order. In
this case, however, the mattresses were
needed i'll ga hurry, and the Supervisors
were forgotten.
Chairman Greer declared that the board
could not audit bills which Were not
properly Endorsed, and simply would
not-and that was all there was about it.
There was no attempt to reflect upon Mr..
Bugbey's honesty, but the board pro-
posed to do business in a buSiness-like
way.
Mr.. Bugbey was then excused.
There were numerous other objections
during the day-on insurance bills and
other matters-and, like all OF the others,
resulted in determination there should
