SWlkOLED THE GOVERNMENT.
Sensatip nal Report Relating to Acts Of
Federal officials.

Sensational Report Eclating to Acts Of
Federal OHicials.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. March THE
sensation of the hour among Federal
officials in north Alabama is the report
of Special Government Examiners
Chalmers and Cowart to Attorney Gen
eral Olney on the subject of corruption
among certain government court Off
GERS.
Last fall the Federal grand jury in
dicted Commissioners w ii. Hunter,
H. A. Wilson and Robert Charlson and
Deputy Marshals j. A Osborn. w. @.
Reed and v II Nuckles, on the charge
of obtaining more money from the gov
eminent than they had earned On the
petition of the grand jury made direct
to the attorney general, Special Exam
liner Chalmers and Cowart were sent
here to make a full investigation. They
have been ut work ever since and their
report. Just made if true. shows the
existence of bad condition of af
fairs
They charge that certain commits
sioners and deputy marshals have sys-
tematically swndled the government
ont of fees by use of fraudulent wit
nesses and the forging of names of
bogus witnesses. The professional
witness, it is said, were accustomed to
bringing charges by the wholesale, and
as the result got fees for themselves
and the officials illegally. One of these
witnesses WAS convicted at the last
term Of court and imprisoned for two
years. The examiners say that the
frauds were so palpabe that they We're
easily detected in many instances.
While bogus witnesses were used they
never knew anything about the cases,
and thus avoided being summoned to
the higher courts.
The signatures OF these bogus wit
nesses, it is charged, were forged to the
court records in such manner that
frequently no two signatures of the
same person correspondent. The exam
liners discovered that it costth govern
ment $40. 900 to conduct the north Ala
bama courts in 1881 $3.50, 600 in 1892
and $3.50, 900 in 1893 This increase,
they say, gives evidence of the extent
of the fraud practiced.
The spring term of the Federal court,
which is in session will consider the
cases of the indicted officials.

Chapter Two--Street Paving.

Chapter Two--Street Paving.
Why should city pave fifty or
sixty feet of street and leave a mar.
row side walk? Why not pave,
cay thirty feet wide in the Gel ter
of the street and make sidewalks,
say fifteen feet wide, with grass and
trees? OF course this is only for
residence parts of the city, and is
called "parking the streets" This
would not cost the city over one half
the amount, yet would add much
to the appearance of your streets.
We need parks, grass, shade trees.
Let all pull to the point of making
Waco the most beautiful city in the
South, while the Waco Trading
Company stands ready to furnish
homes for all from kitchen TO psrlor.

THE DEVILS WORK SHOP.
Our Boys and Girls Higgins
Talks.

NV father began life for himself
in a log house, with quilts hung up
for doors, in the early days of
Missouri. A vigorous industry was
imperative. Full of energy and
pluck, he became the possessor of
one farm, added to another. 1t
was work to his full capacity,
which he believed was needed to
succeed, and which caused him to
make a remark which has never left
my mind. My father was then in
easy circumstances and could have
easily hired men and women too to
do "the work." when l heard him
make this remark: II would prefer
for my children to carry straws
from one side and then back to the
other side of the street than to see
them idle" l "got the idea"
Sydney Smith says: "The secret
of successful and happy life is for
person to be fully engaged in some
undertaking." and we cannot begin
too soon.
Whatever will.force or success |
have attained has been by the early
training of my father. What has
seemed so strange to me is 10 see
people who are rich today keeping
their boys and girls from doing the
very thing that made life success
(work). If fathers and mothers
would REMEMBER that an idle mind
is the DEVILS work. shop, they would
then understand how wayward boys
and girls are made. know it's much
easier to hire somebody to wait on
your rich boys and girls, but you
only fix your boys and girls to DE
poor.
Teach your boys and girls the
nobility Of work and selfreliance.
We plead for the boys and girls
don't ruin them by idle lives.
Never do for your son or daugh-
ter what they can do for themselves.
Let them save you as many steps
as they can, and in your old age
they will take steps you cannot
make, and in after life will that
you for your duty done.
Did you ever hear a successful
man or woman find fault with their
father or motherp Never!
The Waco Trading company can
furnish your homes from "kitchen
to psrlor" on easy payments.
