ST. CLAIR Hay COMPROMISE
Lis Judges Given Until Nay to
Levy . Tax to Pay the Bonds.

Baker johnson, Benjamin r. F.
Copenhaven and Thomas hewitt, the
judges Of the county court Of St.
Clair county who sre in contempt Of
court for refusing to make . tax levy
in their county to pay the ou'stand.
ing Tebo q Neosho railroad bonds,
appeared in the United States circuit
court Wednesday afternoon fully ex.
pecting that Judge Phillips would con.
sign them to dungeon - be did the
judges of Cas- county one week ago
for exactly the same o6ense. They
were sgreeably disappointed. Upon
informing Judge Phillips that there
was . sentiment among their constitu-
ents in favor of paying the bonds
he once more exercised bis clemency
and peferred sentence until the Sec
ond Monday in May.
One week ago St. Clair county wss
informed that for $500, 900 at 3 per
cent. the bonds would be wiped out.
This is the best offer yet made and the
better element of the taxpayers OF the
county is in favor of accepting the
compromise. The face value Of the
bonds IL one million dollars and they
were issued more than twenty years
ago to assist in the construction Of the
Tebo 4 Neosho railroad. The road
was never built, but the bonds were
transferred to third parties and though
the county had received no considers
ton its liability was unavoidable in
law.
In q few weeks the 100000 offer
will be submitted to the $500 voters
of the country and if majority is in
favor Of accepting it, . tax levy will
be made and the judges will not be
to suffer for their contempt
of court.

that bare sprinkle Of rain would

away from church. while the wife,

The women in this church have

or talk poll ics," said the speaker,
looking squarely in the faces of large

The men WINGED.
David vas not present. He was at

the literary epicueran taste.
The David l am abiding to is not

There are very few of the Davids

who were boxed up and said they
were from Walker, and without any
provocation whatever they knocked
one down, then proceeded to, knock
the other boy down BY striking him on
the bead with . railroad spike, cut
ting hole in his head that extended
to the scalp. The bloody work did
not satisfy the inhuman wretch, who
followed this up by striking the boy
with . plank.

THE TINE OF The COUNTY PR.
NARY.

There seems to be considerable dis-
cussion in democratic political circles
concerning the time on which the pri-
nary for county Offices should be held.
It has been urged many times hereto
fore that Q long canvas preliminary
70 the nominations Was not produc-
tive of any good to the party. On
the contrary it has been found by
experience that the continuance of the
preliminary campaign had . tendency
70 bring about personal differences.
Then, too, another result was the I'M
necessary loes of time and the useless
expense entailed upon the uusuccess-
full candidates. All the moro 20 10
this true since the adoption of the
primary system, because . more
thorough and complete canvass
must be made. Another reason
operating this presidential year is
that the local questions of can
didscy should be we'll disposed of ear
" in the campaign 30 that the great
battle on national issues can begin
without delay. Added to this is the
peculiar fact that the democratic NOM
ipation for but . single Office, that of
sheriff, will be contested. All this
being the case. and the candidates for
the nomination for sheriff having re-
quested it. the expectation is that the
primary for the election of county
officers will be set on some date early
in June.
