The Neosho Unknown Knocked Out.

A Waco. Texas, dispatch says:
George Renick, who catches fur ami
mails, ON his round to his traps on
the bank of the Brazos, noticed "a
leg sticking out of the sand. and
unearthed a man perfect in every
limb and feature, except u cash in
the abdomen. the bowels being
absent and the cavity full of sand.
The body is Il perfect petrifaction,
and the features natural. hair, eye
brows and beard preserved like
life. II is recognized as the petri-
fed body of Bill Johnson, a muir
derer and outlaw, who after inflict-
ing terrible loss on the sheriff's
posse in 1889, was mortally wounded,
and wards taken from the Jail
by lynchers and hanged while he
was dying. Bill Johnson was shot
in the jaw, twice in the breast and
in both legs, and the bullet marks
are on the pctrified body. II is also
remembered that prior to burial
Bill Johnson was disemboweled by
doctors, one of whom is here aud
recognizes the body. Bill Johnson
killed five men in his last fight,
having killed three before his last
battle"

SATURDAY, JANUARY 20.
GREEN GOODS.

A few of our citizens received
green goods letters a week ago
Monday evening. The swindlers
are very clever. To do business
with them you must go where they
are. Then they count out the
amount you wish to buy and wrap
it up in a nice neat package. Then
somebody works Interchange racket
on you and when you are ready to
take your departure you carry
away, not the package you bought,
but one that looks like it. The
money they show you is good
money. Following is copy of one
of the letters received in this city;
il was mailed at New York City:
"Friend:-This is the chance of
your life and the one you have been
looking for and if you let it pass, it
will never come again. So read
carefully and thoughtfully. l have
a class of goods which you can
handle and make money faster and
easier with, than you ever have in
your life. They come III denomina-
tons of 81, s., 50, $40 and $50, and
will go anywhere and everywhere
and are as perfect as human skill
can make them. My terms are 500
for 5000, $3.50 for 5000, $3.50 for
$1,000. $1,000 for $4,000 and $4,000
costs 5000. 5000 for $500 is the
very smallest amount l will sell.
/ will give you the state right ii
YOU take $4,000 or more of my
goods. The state right means that
/ will not sell to any one else but
YOU in your state, while you remain
my customer. l warrant each and
every one to be perfect as to paper,
coloring, viguette, printing and
engraving. The signatures are as
perfect as the genuine and when
made to appear as having been
used or handled much, l defy the
best bank clerk or expert to tell
them from the genuine. II has
cost a great deal of time and money
10 perfect these goods, and l have
at last succeeded where many have
failed, in producing the genuine
fibre .'paper. These goods cannot
be detected in the ordinary course
oftrade, and only at the treasury
in Washington, through the dupli-
cation of numbers, and not then If
the genuine bill of the number is
still in circulation. Now, my way OF
doing business is as follows: when
YOU come hereI will show you my
stock of goods, you can examine
them and compare them with the
genuine, and in fact submit them
10 any test you see fit before you
pay me, then after you are thor
ourhly satisfied on every point, you
can select whatever denominations
YOU may want, and when the goods
are in your possession you pay me,
and II You. feel disposed TO carry
the goods with you, you may do 80,
IL not, I viii ship them by express
or in any way you may desire, ms !
want to introduce my g0ods your
section of fhe, county as soon as
possible. promise that Il you DO
not find my goods as represented

Cool News fer County Officers.

The supreme court last week rem
dcred decision that will be very
interesting reading for all of our
county officers. In 1903 the state
Legislature passed salary law
regulating the fees and salaries of
county officers of Cherokee and
Crawford counties, and the decision
was upon this law.
Before il took effect the sheriff re-
ceivcd all the fees earned by him
and his deputies, the clerk of the
district court and register of deeds
the same. The county treasurer
received 5000 n year; county clerk.
$2,4C9; probate judge. $500. and
half of all fees collected above that
amount; the county attorney, $3.50
aud all fees allowed by law. and the
county superintendent, $500 The
law of 1893 cut them all down to ST.
200 a year except superintendent,
which was reduced to 5000. This law
also made provisions for deputies
for treasurer, clerk, register and
district clerk, but the amount was
small.
The law of 1893 was by the su-
preme court declared unconstitu-
tional aud void on account of il
fixing two different dates to take
effect. The officers who took their
Office in January 1894, have been
complying with the law, and will,
therefore. have "a snug little sum
due them from the county for money
turned over to il in the way of fees;
for all the officers receiving fees
were required to pay over all such
fees to the county; and those re-
ceiving a salary before the law went
into operation will getthe difference
between the amount allowed by the
new and the old law. BY the old
law going into operation again 1t
will be seen that the salaries are in
creased from . TO 100 per cent.-the
sheriff, treasurer. county clerk and
district clerk being benefited most.

A fact that you are perhaps
not aware of. Do you know
that we are manufacturers Of
these goods ? True it is that
we have one of the largest
shirt waist factories in this
country. Our plant is in Phil
adelphia. We employ a large
force of hands and supply the
representative houses of the
country with our product.
Therefore does it not appear
reasonable that our prices must
be right and below competi-
ton? You do not pay the
middleman's profit. You are
buying direct from the manu-
facturer and paying only a
small advance above first cost.
Our goods are all made over
LIVING MODELS by expert hands
and a fit is guaranteed. The
workmanship is unexcelled. In
consequence of these facts we
are warranted in asserting that
we can sell you a waist COM
plete at the price you pay for
the material alone. Don't be-
lieve US +; come in and convince
yourselves.
The leader is the one at
$500. 1t would not be high at
Sc in fact that is the regular
price. Made out of changea-
bic Tafete Silk. 1t contains S
yards. The retail price of the
silk is 75c per yard. An i'm

equal good values. We wont
attempt to describe them it
would not do them justice; you
would not understand you
must see them for yourselves.

AYALosrAN IsLAND.-Analostan Is
land, the section of land lying south OF
Georgetown in the Potomac, and
separated from the State of Virginia by
a shallow stream known as the Little
river, will be sold at auction some time
next month. This island was at one
time the home OF General John Mason.
The commissioner of the Confederate
States to Europe who. with Slidell, was
captured by Captain Wilkes, was born
on this island. The old Mason mansion
has for many years been in state It
dilapidation. The island was for many
years used by the Columbia Athletic
Club for their field sports and annual
exhibition, but the lease was finally
given up. 1t was then said the Penn
sylyania Railroad was after the island
to turn it into large freight yard.
This island will form one Of the sup
porting parts of the Memorial bridge
when it is built.
