PENDANTS. The house in Hazelton is a
very fine residence located In the north
part of town and the first house south
OF the Santa Fe railroad, formerly
owned by DR.. Erwin. None of the
buildings have been burned or destroyed
in any manner. neither is their any
mortgage on the property and the taxes
are all paid. The debtor informs me
that there were only three or four per-
sons present when the property was
sold. People do not go to cash sales
now because under the present hellish
system of finance they haye no money
nor never will as long as this system
lasts. The creditor could just as easy
have bid in twenty thousand dollars
worth of property to satisfy the debt
as what he did.
/ have nothing personal with any
man, it is the system that produces the
present awful conditions that 1 am

tor should have been satisfied with the
hundred dollar house and lots in Kiowa
he would then have gotten four to one.

An announcement of an enterprise
which is unparalleled in the history of
the newspaper business has recently
been made by the Twice-a- Week Re-
public of st. Louis. Although this
paper has perhaps the largest circula-
tion of any newspaper or other periodi-
cal in the Western country it intends to
largely increase the number of its read
ers before next winter through this
remarkable offer.
On July The Republic advertised
the fact that it would give $4,000 in
prizes to its subscribers during the
three months of July, August and Sep
TENDER. Each month a question would
be asked in the columns of the paper.
and it would be repeated in every issue
of the "Twice-a- Week Republic'' dur
ing that month.
Nearly $4,000 in presents was given
to Republic subscribers who correctly
answered the question asked in July
Where does the word Silver first
occur in the Bible?" One thousand
gifts OF extra value are offered to the
first thousand subscribers who correct
ly answer the question for August
where does the word Gift first oc-
cur in the Bible?" Each answer must
be accompanied by 81 TO pay for q
yearly subscription to the Twice-a-
Week Republic. Gifts of smaller val
ne will be given to those who send cor
rect answers. but who are two late to
be included IN the first thousand names.
In September another question will be
asked and the remainder of the $5O, 900
in presents will be given away.

At special meeting of the council
last Saturday evening it was decided
TO discontinue the Office of city mar
shall for the time being and Judge Stey-
ems Immediately handed IN his resigna-
ton. The step was taken on account
OF the city's financial condition and in
the interest of economy. Tie resigns
ton takes effect September 1, since the
marshal is needed until that time to
complete the collection Of road and dog
taxes. Thus it will be seen that hard
times affect the inhabitants Of the cit
