Change OF Business.

The Globe Clothing house, Frank T.
Owens, manager, is going to close out
the stock of clothing in order to
change its business. The whole stock
of clothing, mems suits, mems odd
pants, boys and youths suits and odd
pants are all TO 60 at wholesale prices.
Mr.. Owens informs the VOICE that the
sale will begin Saturday. 1t applies
only to clothing. Furnishing goods,
hats. caps and notions are not in
cluded. The stock is quite large and
this will be an excellent opportunity
for people to get bargains in fall and
winter clothing. There are more peo-
pie looking for real bargains this year
than ever before because Of the strin.
gency Of the times. This sale comes
at an exceedingly Opportune time. We
are glad TO know that the Globe will
remain in Wellington; the intention
is to change lines. Those who expect
to buy clothing should interview the
Globe at once in order to get first
choice. See the Globes ad next week.

business, because there are so MANY
more people to watch, and almost
everyone thinks it all right to take
all you can get of the county. Every
bill should be scanned, and every
item cuc out or reduced that is not
valid. Political friend or foe should
not be regarded for one instant. In
this manner only can economy be pro-
cured.
We believe Mr.. HeSkett did thi:
while on the board, and there may
have been other commissioners who
have done it, but we speak of Heskett
because he is the only man the Popu.
lists have ever had on the board.
The county clerks statements as
shown in "BrO. Richards" table else.
where certainly show the impress Of
Heskett's econOmizing hand.
Now we say these things kindly
and candidly. We ought to discus:
them as neighbors and taxpayers
There is no use of men getting angry
and calling each other liars, etc.
truth is what we war t and it ought moi
iDjure anyone. We believe as ANDY
Richards says, that "the Republican,
of Sumner county are just as gooC
citizens, just as honest and as HEAVY
taxpayers as the Populists," and W,
want them to see these things. Tit
time is now here when we must stoI
this traffic in political plumber anC
proceed to administer the affairs o
this county on business basis.

tiers carefully. There is no polite

kick down hill. We should have en-.
tertained the same sort OF feelings
toward a Republican under similar
circumstances. But neither of them
would be fit subjects to put back into
positions Of public trust again.
Why did "Bro. Richards" conceal
in his article all this truth about this
affair? Why did he thus strive to
create this false sentiment against
HeSkett and Naugle? We would be
justified in retorting in his own words,
"Hell is full of such liars" but We
shall leave such epithets to Others.
Now this covers all the points in
"BrO. Richards" article. But there
are a few points suggested by his
table that he did not comment upon.
He didn't want to tell the whole truth.
He seems to have wanted to create a
false impression by cOncealing q part
Of the truth, and he is very severe on
that kind of men, too, remember.
Despite the reduction Of salaries,
what caused the expenses of 1894 to
run up to s56,476S1? We have al
lowed $1,000 for more than ordinary
costs in criminal cases, on account of
the Reed trial; then there was an ex-
penditure of s2,O29 81 for repairs on
court house and Jail. There is moth.
ing visible to the eye to show for this
but paint and paper on the interior.
The cost of printing ballots and
publishing the official ballot in 1894
was s6S2.9e. 1t was a Jew expense
entailed by the Australian ballot law,
and although it comes back to the
county this year, it was counted and
helped to swell the total of 1894 to
S56,476.a and should properly be de-
Quoted from it. Then there was some
increase Of pauper expenses, though
the population is about 5000 less.
There was some increase in Jury ex-
penSes, which has been noted in these
columns heretofore. There is also
an increase of $500 in the expenses
and damages Of opening public high
wayS-how much unnecessary we can
not say.
Then there was the price of Sheriff
WOodcock's excursion to California
after Talbot, nearly $500. The court
cost of three or four thousand will
come in '95.
Then we observe an item of $50
allowed the county clerk for writing
up the assessment rolls" Heretofore
county clerks performed this service
as a part of their duty as county
clerk, but in 1894 the ever fertile
brain of the county attorney was ap-
pealed to and he held that the county
clerk was entitled to extra pay for
this, and he got it, However the bill
is filed in the name of mis- deputy, W.
5. Nelson.
The next item then is the increase
in the expense of the county printing.
Run your finger along the several
years in the table on this item. Let
Us place it here SO you can see it more

justified or not. But as to the poor
farm; it is fair to presume that a
superintendent could be had in 1894
cheaper than in 1892, because OF the
lack OF prosperity in the country.
"Bro. Richards" however, does both
Jim Heskett and the VOICE an in
Justice concerning Willis T. Reed.
Mr.. Reed was an old Dewitt county
(nl.) friend of Jim Heskett, and up
to the time Of his appointment and
for more than a year afterward, no
man in Sumner county stood higher
in the general estimation of his
neighborS than Willis T. Reed. Al
though a Democrat (previous to l89O)
he was elected time and again trustee
of Seventy-Six township, and every
body had implicit confidence in him.
His wife was very estimable lady
and had that motherly bearing which
so peculiarly fitted her to become
the matron of such an institution as
poor farm. During Mr.. Reeds
first year everything went along
smoothly and satisfactorily Toward
the close of the first year Reed came
to Heskett aud other members Of
the board and told them if his work
was satisfactory he would be glad if
they would make contract with him
for two years. This was but fair to
good man. Snowden had it for
several years, and no man could
really break up his own business
affairs and take it for less than Two
years with any profit. The board
was So well pleased with his work
that they employed him for two
years longer. In January, when
other contracts were to let County
Attorney Carver held that the board
could not contract for a perioh Of
time beyond when their own terms
would expire, and SO the contract
was declared off. This was involved
with other contracts, and Heskett
was so much displeaSed with the
county attorneys decision that he
turned the whole matter over to the
other members Of the board and left
the room. Then Commissioner Stew
art and Faurot made a contract with
Reed for year, thus showing that at
this time there was no lack Of faith 10
Reed. Soon after Reed got reckless
and commences" going to pieces" Hes
kett. as well as well as many others,
was very much disappointed in Reed,
although it does not appear that lie
damaged the county to any great tx
tent. G. A. Stewart, his successor.
made good superintendent, and as
the Mail says, we don't suppose the
people Of the county care very much
whose man either one of them was,
so they did their work right.
But the Mail wants to know why
the VOICE did not score Reed for his
shortcomings. The VOICE did not |
know that he had any shortcomings
until he was Dearly out. What good |
would it have done then to have
scored" him? Rather was our feel
ings set toward reaching and redeem !
ing the man than in giving him a !

thinks of limiting his utterances to
the boundaries of the truth. There
has been so much said about this poor
house management, suppose we look
into that a little 10 detail.
Let us first refer to the tabulated
statement and compare 1894 with
1892. In 1892, the salary Of the su-
perintendent was $1,000; in 1894, it
was $4,000. AS these two salaries
were paid for exactly the same things,
there was a clear saving of $4,000 in
1894. The expenditures" for 1892,
on account of the poor farm were
81, $685.: for 1894, they were sl,566.S9,
or S249. 46 less than in 1892. So that
in the management Of the poor farm
in 1894 the county was saved $4,000
plus s249. As or s4S9.46 over 1892.
Who was in charge OF the poor farm
in 1892? Willis 7. Reed, POpulist.
Whose man was he and how did he
"get there?" He was an old Dewitt
county, Illinois, friend Of James R.
Heskett's; came from Heskett's dis
trict and got there by Hesketts
influence. And in the fall Of 1892,
when there was a probability of the
political complexion OF the board of
county commissioners changing, Mr..
Heskett secured Reeds appointment
for two years TO come, for 1893 and
1894. And when it was found that
this appointment ,was unlawful and
upon the reorganization of the board
in January, 1893, it was proposed to
revise this contract, HeSkett bOlted
and refused to sit on or with the
board,
Who was in charge Of the poor
farm in 1894? Geo. A. Stewart, POpu-
list. Whose man was he and how did
he get there?" Let us accept the
Monitor-Press' statement and put 1t
that he was John T. Stewards man;
got there" because Geo. A. Stewart
owed John T. Stewart and John T.
Stewart thought that Geo. A. Stew
arts appointment to this place would
assist him in collecting that debt.
What then?
Our guess is that the people OF this
county care very little whether Reed
was Heskett'S man or SOMEBODY else's
man; they care very little whether
Geo. A. Stewart was John 7. Stew
arts man or somebody else'S man;
provided always, that the affairs OF
the county asylum are honestly and
economically administered. Now.
how do these two administrations
compare in this respect? There is in
the county clerks Office a very care
fully prepared statement Of the re-
ceipts and Expenses" Of the poor
farm for each year from 1886 to 1895.
This statement shows just how much
has been received from the proceeds
Of the poor farm during each year,
the total paid out by the county and
the net cost to the county for each
year. AS these figures are the Eek
peuses" incurred and not the "expen-
ditures" paid out during each year
and as the crops raised were not al.
ways sold the same year these figures
do not, Of course, balance with the
expenditures" figures in the above
table.
The receipts from the poor farm
products Of 1892 were s699.4l, from
those of 1893, s763. Sumner county
paid out a total Of 50, 567. 39 for the ex
penses of the poor farm incurred dur
ing 1892 and sl919.47 for those of 1894
