How the Young Man Happened to Get .
Weeks Vacation So Easily.
These are busy times among the

gets "a day off, is counted fortunate.
This state of affairs, says the Chicago
Tribune, bothered clerk in one Of the
departments who had arranged to get
married last Wednesday. He wanted
at least week to get used to the new
order Of things, and, what is more,
he did not want his fellow-laborers in
the cause of Chicago's great fair to
learn OF his matrimonial intentions I'M
til after the agony was over. So it was
with fear and trembling that he waited
on the chief of his department.
''Mr. Smith," said he, "I would like
to get a little vacation, say a week from
next Wednesday,"
"Um-," said the chief. whats
that about Wednesday? You want
weeks holiday, Ell? What for?"
The matrimonially inclined young
man blushed trifle, stammercd little,
and finally blurted out:
I'm going to get married on that
day and don't want anybody to know
anything about it,
''Going to get married Wednesday,"
echoed the chief in surprised tones.

want anyone to know about my case

Investigation Continued.

/
| 1t seems to be source of much an
noyance to republicans that l should
take time to give the people the facts
aud records which, of course, disprove
the assertions of the republican press,
from one end of the state to the other,
relative to their charges of extrava-
gance against the peoples party. The
! statutes OF Kansas require eight hours
for days labor from state employees,
and as have been accustomed to from
ten to twelve hours per day, this gives
me considerable extra outside time to
look up the records. Republicans may
not appreciate my labor, but they may
rest assured that 1T is gratis and that it
does not cost them or the state single
cent. To prove this, L give below some
information relative to the expenses of
Of tie secretary of states Office.
a few months ago l seen letter in a
Kansas City paper signed by ex-Secre-
tary Higgins boasting that the popn-
lists had then held the state offices
about five months and that they had
not shown up the much talked of ras-
cality of the republicans, but on the
other hand had found everything all
right. Just to refresh the ex-secreta-
ry's defective memory and for the IN
formation of the people, L submit
small comparison on two items of the
contingent expenses of the secretary of
states office, which is as follows:
For postage, 1891, rep.............S 1000
For extra clerk hire, 1891, rep......... 4O0. 55

From this comparison Oh two items
of contingent expenses only, you will
see that the populists have saved Sab
% oyer the republicans in 1891, and
$63S.60 In 1892. The reader Will also
observe that not one dollar has been
paid out for extra clerk hire in the
secretary of states Office since it has
been under populist rule, notwith-
standing the business of the state is
constantly increasing. There is no
more use of extra clerk in the secreta-
ry OF states office at present than there
is of fifth wheel to a wagon, This is
only one example out of many.
Formerly the fees of this office have
been retained by the secretary of state,
but beside the above, Secretary Osborn
has turned into the treasury all the
fees received by him, which are as fol-

those balances. Thesel s8Sunts are
due the state from county treasurers of
several counties from the year 1871 to
1884.
County commissioners, county clerks
and county treasurers should beware of
certain persons claiming to be public or
expert accountants connected in some
way with the state, who are fleeing
some of our counties out of consider
able money by examining the books of
the county treasurer and county clerk
for q number of years back, claiming
that he or they are the only persons
who can get credit with the state audi
tor. He charges about so per cent. of
what he finds for his services. For ex-
ample: suppose he finds total credits of
say $1,000, his fee would be $500. These
expert examinations are all unneces.
sary as the county clerk on a proper
showing can get credit with the state
for any item which is justly due his
county. Besides, this procedure is
likely to lessen the finances of the state
very materially if it continues.
Some months ago the republican
press of this state laid down two propo-
sitions. First-That this is to be
campaign of argument. Second-That
the peoples party administration is the
most eXtravagant ever known. There
are still few republican papers en-
deavoring to answer my articles in re-
gard to republican extravaganza by the
usual republican argument, You're a
liar, lies, liar" etc. Now is it possible
that republicans are willing to stand
convicted OF just what popnlists have
charged, viz: That they have no other
argument than abuse? Is it trne that
the majority of the republican papers
OF the state have enough of real argu-
ment? Are they willing to acknowl-
edge that they cannot meet the facts
and records on the above propositions?
Did they expect to face the facts, or
were they running bluff?

are often seveuty-five or one hundred
feet in length and of almost round or
oblong shape. 1t is believed there are
thirty or forty graves in each mound.
A. ID. Bowen, of the state senate, told
the details as far as known.
The discovery was made by Juan
Olivos, of Santa Maria, who dug into
the mounds, which have been known
to exist for long time. At depth of
ten feet, when he dug into the grave,
the first thing his pick struck was u
polished slab of a slightly greater
length than that of an ordinary coffin
of an adult of the present age. When
he gazed underneath he looked into a
long box of stone that had nothing in
1t but dust. The body had laid So long
that even che bones had disappeared
and there was nothing but ashes. The
grave was older than any he had heard
of on the Pacific coast. The slab was
OF pecuIlarly hard and polished stone
the like Of which does not exist in the
country. 1t was thin, however, having
been worked down till it was not more
than half an inch thick.
Olives worked away and got out
other stones. The top, bottom. sides
and ends were all of the same curious
hard and thin stone, and had been set
in the earth and held by the soil with
cut grooves or other fastening He ex-
plored further and found numerous
battle-axes and other weapons of cop
per, and vessels peculiarly made and of
stone. Curious copper disks resembling
coins were also found. There were
many in the grave, and the investigator
pushed his way still farther into the
mound. There he found many other
copper implements, some being axes
and others rude knives, while some were
quite long and looked as though they
had been used as spears
The mounds are scattered along for
couple of miles, and there are prob
ably hundred of them.
Knowing there were similar mounds
in Guiana valley adjoining he pushed
on to them, and, digging in them, found
collins, dust, and implements of stone
and copper similar to those of Santa
Maria. Everywhere were the marks of
an ancient race-a race, as is believed,
far antedating any hitherto known on
the coast. He gathered up some of the
dust and kept it with the copper and
stone weapons he had secured. Some
of the weapons are now in the town of
Santa Maria, where they are attracting
great attention.
An expedition is being talked of to
go to the ancient mounds and thor
oughly explore them. Mr.. Bowen also
tells that high above the stage road
between Los Olivos and Santa Bar
bara, near the graves, are some natural
monolits or rocks with smooth sur
faces,on which are carved many strange
characters, looking much like charac-
tiers used by the Egyptiana in desig-
mating their tombs.-San francisco
