The commissioners compromised
some taxes due the county and allowed
number Of bills. Kiowa's pauper
bills were this time less than 500. A
plea was put in for refunding of taxes
collected on lands to which parties
have tag certificates but the final proof
of which was never made by the party
entering the land. The claim present
ed amounts to about 81 800 and much
more is involved. 1t is very question
able to say the least whether the coun-
~ ought to pay it, The matter was
taken under adyisement until January
when another hearing will be given.
Dug Records and Judge Loren Ed
wards were appointed to assist Judge
Stephens III inspecting the treasurer's
books. The report was received show
ing balance on hand of S45, 174.56 at
the close of business October 9TH. The
books and money drawer tailed within
one cent. Fifty dollars were voted to
pay Ed. Sample for his expenses in at
tempting to secure the writ of habeas
corpus for Dan Pierce when charged
with contempt of court.

The rally at Kiowa was all that was
anticipated, though the dust and wind
combined made 1t somewhat unpleas-
ant. The crowd was an unusually
large one for the place. ranging from a
"fizzle' to $500 according to the poll
tics and prejudiees of the man who
counted. Our republican friends, some
of them, seem inclined of course to
count peoples party noses a good deal
as our democrat friends count peoples
party votes in the south, j. e., out.
Short talks were made by Lands and
Garrison, and most of the afternoon
was then given to Mr.. Simpson. The
situation was a difficult one for speak
ing but Mr.. Simpson managed to make
himself heard by his large audience
The meeting was orderly throughout
and the speech received with strong in
dications of approval. At the night
meeting, we are told, a certain crowd
gathered at the republican headquar-
tiers and came to the hall in a body.
During Mr.. Garrison's talk their lead
er, the republican central committee
man endeavored, in a manner unbe-
coming anyone but a Georgia hoodlum
to take charge of the meeting by order
ing Garrison to sit down. Jerry was
questioned, but not in the same Often
sive manner. In reply he brought his
charges, in regard to the strip matter
directly home and silenced all denial.
1t is now time for republican editors to
shout ''fizzle'' as they did over the At
tea and Anthony picnics, both of
which, by all we have heard speak of
them we're all and more than they were
expected to be.

she would mention recent case of Mrs.

LOCAL MARKYT,

Senator Long Monday night spoke to

regardless of party, tarn I'd out to hear
him. While we, of course, believe Mr..
Long made many false assumptions,
that is, that he reasoned from unwar-
ranted assumptions, we are free to say
he made the best republican talk we
have heard this year. AS public
speaker he and Jerry both have i'm
proved, and whatever our difference in
political belief Medicine Lodge has no
need to feel ashamed of the eanvassing
abilities of any of her candidates.

articles. In particular the stoiletss
that fell over the high square bureaus
had often a netted fall half a yard deep
around them. In addition, caps. ruffies.
purses and fichus were netted. The lat
ter were called dress handkerchiefs, and
folded high about the throat over the
low cut gowns. On them the netter
layished her choicest art.
Sometimes the mesh was as fine al
most as bobbinet. Melted capes were
high in favor, but the square with long
ends was accounted better for young
women. Sometimes they had fringe or
tassels about the edge, or even ruffie
of the net with big pattern run in.
The handsomest finish was embroidery.
For that the net was tackled smooth
over cloth, the figures were wrought
through both, then the under fabrics
were cut away, leaving something
closely approaching old rose point.
The women who practiced these arts
made tatting, knit lace, stockings, nit
tens, tufted gloves, overshoes. comfort

besides. Before their works follow

How Ch.namen Are shaved.

The Chinese of San Francisco shave
nearly every day. A queer little razor
it is that they use, too. 1t is in no re-
spect like our razor, except in the matter
of the keenness of its edge. 1t is wee
bit of blade, nicely curved into a semi
circle. With this tool the Chinese bar
Der scrapes the almost hirsuteless face
of his customer and then shaves him
around the ears and down the neck to
the first bone of the spinal column. The
rounded point of the razor is also insert
ed into the Celestial ear, and every am
bilious hair-that dares to show itself In
the aricular lobe is clipped before it pro-
ceeds very far. The Chinaman, you
know, is scrupulously cleanly about his
ears. A growth of hair IN them is con-
sidered mark of low birth or of care

The Largest Flower Known.

In Mindinac, the farthest southeastern
island in the Philippine group, upon ono
of its mountains, the volcanic Apo, a
party of botanical and ethnographical
explorers found recently, at height OF
$500 feet above the sea level, colossal
flower. The discoverer, DIR. Alexander
Schadenberg, could scarcely believe his
eyes when he saw amid the low growing
bushes the immense buds Of this flower
growing like gigantic cabbage heads
But he was still more astonished when
he found specimen In full bloom, q Ave
petaled flower nearly yard in diameter.
as large IA a carriage wheel, in fact.
This enormous blossom was borne on @
sort of vine creeping on the ground.
The native who accompanied DIR.
Schadenberg called it "bolo." The party
had no scale by which the weight of the
flower could be ascertained, but they
improvised swinging scale, using their
boxes and specimens as weights. Weigh
ing these when opportunity served, 1t was
found that single flower weighed over
twenty-five pounds. 1t was impossible
to transport the fresh flower, 80 the
travellers photographed 1t and dried a
number of it's leaves by the heat of fire.

The asivance statement issued from
the treasury department of the exports
of domestic breadsinsfs from the United
States for May, lSae, furnishes much in-

with May of last year. such exports have
Increased to an astonishing degree, be-

and &27s. .416, ,023 in 1899.
! Taking these two months, we find
that with the exception Of barley the
exports of oil the breadstuffs have grown
enormously. For instance, corn, 3.Osc.-

as against $ls,23e; rye, $l43, ,448. as
against nothing; wheat, $9,6fe, ala, as
against 90, ,667 ,s0s. and so on. Not less
interesting is it TO notice which are our
leading ports of export for breadstuffs.
OF course New York takes the lead in
this, there having been shipped from
here breadstuffs to the value of s., $685.

exported from the following places
