1t is the opinion Of a law firm in

no power to extend the time Ct col
lecting taxes. 1t has teen TIE
universal custom for the county
court TO regulate the matter in this

Financial Statement.


We would respectfully call the
attention Of the county officers in
terested to the following sections of
Hills Code, which appears to have
been neglected. +
In chapter Al, Hills annotated
code, the following sections are
found:
5 S47r. It shall be the duty Of
the county clerk of each county.
on the 1st day of April, and on the
first day Of October in each wear,
publish in one issue Of a weekly
paper having general circulation in
the county, a report showing cor
rectly the number and amount Of
claims allowed by the county court,
and OIL what account, the amount
OF warrants drawn, and the amount
OF outstanding warrants not paid.
SEcTIoN 3472. He shall at the
same time and i'll the same connec-
ton, publish a report of the sheriff
of his county, showing the amount
OF money he has collected, and the
amount Of warrants he has received
for taxes, and the amount ofmoney
he has turned over each month TO
the treasurer, and the total thereof
during the past six months.
SEC. 3473. He shall also, at the
same time and in the same connec-
ton, publish report of the county
treasurer, showing the amount OF
money he has received, and from
what source, during the past six
months, with the date ofits receipt,
and from whom, the amount of
money he has paid out OIL warrants,
and the amount of money on hand
at that date.
Sec. 5474. The clerk shall pre-
pare and attach to said reports a
summary which shall show, in all
respects, the exact financial condi-
ton Of his county at said date.
Sec. 3475. To aid the county
clerk in making the report, publ
cation and summary herein pro-
vided, it shall be the duty of the
county treasurer and sheriff to file
with the county clerk, on the first
day of April and the first day of
October of each year the reports as
above specified.
SEC. 3S4o. Any officer wilfully
any of the provisions of
this act shall be deemed guilty of
and upon conviction
thereof shall be fined not more than
twenty-five dollafs for each offense,
to be paid into the county treasury
Tor the benefit Of the common
schools.
In fairness to the county clerk it
is but justice to say that he informs
us that he has been ready and
anxious to comply with the law
and file and publish his report, but
the sheriff and treasurer have both
failed to file theirs with him, and,
as can be seen by the reading of
the law above, it is impossible for
him 10 publish his report until the
treasurer and sheriff first comply
and file their reports.
We bring this matter to public
attention now, as the time is past
nearly month when this should
have been done.

There is no other locality, even the
boosted climate of southern France, that
can show such a stable and equable
range of heat and cold. The health seek
er need fear no sudden changes. little
attention to clothing and he can bid colds
and intiammations defiance. In cases of
death from tubercular disease the New
Mexico rate is only 8 in 1000.
This is the lowest known record, and it
must be remembered that the local con-
tingent of consumptives is daily aug
mented by the immigration of those who
seek respite from that dreaded scourge.
The record of deaths at Santa Fe ia
much lower than the territorial average.
In New England the consumptive death
rate is Is out of every 1000 of the oom-
munity; in Minnesota it is II, and
throughout the southern states six per
1000. This city enjoys the spring eli
mate of northern Illinois and Indiana;
the summer climate of Wisconsin, Michi-
gan and Minnesota, and the winter
temperature of southern Illinois, Indiana
and Tennessee. This, however, is only as
shown by the thermometer. The dry

Pecus National park, where fish aud game
abound. Within easy riding or driving
distances there are over forty places of pic

which may be mentioned the old adobe pal
ace, first erected shortly after 1905, from
which the Spanish viceroys ruled this
great province. The present structure
dates from about 17l6; but it is full of
,utercst, as every room is consecrated by

The teacher in geography was putting
the class through few simple tests.
On which side of the earth is the north
pole? she inquired.
On the north side, came the unanimous
answer.
On which side is the south pole?
On the south side.
Now, on which side are the most of the
people.
This was poser and nobody answered.
Finally very young scholar held up his
hand.
I know, he said, hesitatingly, as if the
excess of his knowledge was too much for
him.
Good for you, said the teacher, en-
couragingly, tell the class on which side
the most people are.
On the out side, piped the youngster,
and whatever answer the teacher had in
her mind was lost in the shuttle.

The two drummers we're sitting in the
Office of Chicago hotel, decanting upon
the manners of the clerk, who did not
altogether please them, when man came
in and the erstwhile naughty clerk became
all obeisance.
Look at him now, will you? said one
he's polite enough to that party; guess
it must be the head clerk.
Not much, dissented his companion; it
must be the landlord.
Or the owuer of the house. Suppose we
ask him, and they approach the clerk, in
suppliant attitude.
Was that the head clerk? asked the
older drummer.

Was it the landlord?

Born. Not Made

Weak by imprudence, are many stomachs.
Puny people have, invariably, weak diges-
ton. The robust as rule eat heartily
and assimilate their food. A naturally
weak stomach, or one that has become,
although not SO originally, derives need
full aid from the thorough stomachic, Hos
letter Stomach Bitters. The restoration
of vigor to the delicate is the prompt
effect of recourse to this professionally
sanctioned and universally esteemed pro-
moter of health. Nervousness-a symp-
tom of chronic indigestion-is overcome
by it. So are liver complaint and con-
stipation. Incipient rheumatism and
kidney trouble it defeats thoroughly, and
it constitutes an efficient defense against
malaria. But in order that the full bene-
tit derivable from its use should be availed
of, it should not be used in a haphazard
way, but continually. The same sugges-
tion holds good of all standard remedies.

Santa Fc, the city of the Holy Faith of
st. Francis, is situated on the site of an
ancient Indian Pueblo called O-ga- p-ho-ge.
1t is probably the oldest civilized COM
inunity in the United States and the III ost
ancient of American capitals. The Spanish
town was founded in 1905. Authorities
disagree as to whether this CITY or San Au-
gustin, Fla, were first foun1e Santa
Fe was first visited by American traders
in 1904, and from that time dated q
wonderful era of prosperity. The thrill
ing incidents of the old Santa Fe trail,
starting from Westport, Mo-, gave it a
world wide fame.
THE WORLDS ONLY sANI-AR1uN.
Prof. Mark Harrington, chief of the q.
s. weather bureau, says: "Santa Fe is In
the driest habitable part of the United
States. This region is extensive, and
changes in form from season to season,
but Santa Fe is always in it,"
1t is situated in charming nook of the
Santa Fe range, and its climate is domi-
mated by the influence of mountain peaks
that tower nearly $4,000 feet high. To-
gether with this it lies at an altitude of
7,015 feet, and latitude, about the Seth
degree north, that gives it peculiar adj
vantage as sanitarium. The elevation
tempers the summer heats, which natural
ly should be about that of Memphis,
Tenn, or Bakersfield, Cal, and its south
srn situation reduces the rigors of winter
AZ an illustration, during the winter of
1892, the daily public concerts in the
plaza were only stopped three times by
weather, and last winter the omissions did
not exceed half dozen.
The altitude compels the lungs to work
and no one in Santa Fe can be accused OF
being "too lazy to BREATHE" as great
physician expressed il. The rare, ozon.
ated air permeates every cell of the lungs
and thus prevents hemorrhage. Drs
sy,nington and Harroun, who have prac.
ticed in Santa Fe for over twenty years
report that they have only found two
sases among the native peopls Of oon.
sumption.
NORMAL TEMPERATURE.
The U. 8. weather observation office
has been stationed here for twenty years
snd the following statistical data tells
better than words how even and mild is
The climate of Santa Fe. Taking the
Iummer heat and the winter cold the fol-
lowing tables show most equable and
delightful Temperatures:

Chemistry of Character.
John and Peter and Robert and Paul
God In his wisdom created them all.
John was statesman and Peter slave,
Robert preacher, and Paul was knave.
Evil or good, as the case may be,
White or colored or bond or free,
John and Peter and Robert and Paul
God in his wisdom created them all.
Out Of earth's elements, mingled with flame,
Out of lifes compounds Of glory and shame,
Fashioned and shaped by no will of their own
And helplessly into life's history thrown;
Born by the law that compels man to be,
Born to conditions they could not foresee-
John and Peter and Robert and Paul
God in his wisdom created them all.
John was the head and heart of his state,
Was trusted and honored, was noble and great
Peter was made meath lifes burden to groan
And never once dreamed that his soul was his
own.
Robert great glory and honor received
For zealously preaching what no one believed
While Paul of the pleasures of sin took his fill
And gave up his life in the service of i'll.
1t CHANGED that these men, in their passing
away
From earth and its conflicts, all died the same
day.
John was mourned through the length and the
breadth Of the land;
Peter fell meath the lash in a merciless hand;
Robert died with the praise Of the Lord on his
tongue,
While Paul was convicted of murder and hung.
John and Peter and Robert and Paul
The purpose of life was fulfilled in them all.
Men said Of the statesman, "How noble and
brave!'
But of Peter, alas, "IIe is only slave'
OF Robert, "'Tis we'll with his soul; 1t is well'
While Paul they consigned to the torments of
hell.
Born by one law, through all nature the same,
What made them different, and who was to
blame?
John and Peter and Robert and Paul
God in his wisdom created them ALL
Out in that region of infinite light,
Where the soul of the black man is pure as the
white;
Out where the spirit, through sorrow made
wise,
No longer resorts to deception and lies;
Out where the flesh can no longer control
The freedom and faith Of the God given soul,
Who shall determine what change may befal
John and Peter and Robert and Paul?
John may in wisdom and goodness increase;
Peter rejoice in an infinite peace;
Robert may learn that the truths Of the Lord
Are more In the spirit and less in the word,
And Paul may be blessed with holier birth
Than the patience of man had allowed him or
earth.
John and Peter and Robert and Paul
God in his mercy will care for them all.
