POOR LITTLE LAMBS.
Did Not Want to Announce But Their
Friends Did It,

The Monitor this week has the first
batch of Populist candidates for
county offices. Strange to say all are
Abilene men and the country men,
bers of the party are shut out. These
patriots are Walter Nichols for regis
ter, Grant Kieffer for clerk, Will
Matteson for treasurer, Nick Robson
for sheriff. The Monitor says these
gentlemen's "friendsn sent in their
names and intimates that there is a
popular uprising by which these un-
willing victims are to be forced on
the ticket. The Populists have done
many funny things but this is the
oldest. The more people think of
Grant and Walter and Nick and Billy
being forced" to 60 on the ticket the
more they will laugh at them. Brace
up, boys, and be frank. Don't in
dulge in such transparent nonsense
as that. We all know that you have
been hustling for the nominations for
year and half and this county is
too small to deceive anybody.
j. I. Prendersast is listed up for
commissioner but he says emphatic
NY that he did not insert his name
md that his business demands too
much of his time to allow him to run
or little county offices.

No Judgment Taxation.

There has been a difference Of opinion
expressed among local attorneys as to
when the law relating to taxing iudg.
ments goes into force. An ATTORNEY
has written Attorney General Boyle
regarding the matter and Mr.. BOYLE
gives his opinion that the law does
not 60 into force until 1898. Under
the general law of the state a man
must pay taxes on the personal
property he owned on the lirst,day Of
March and this law did not take effect
until the Goth of March, as that was
the day 1t was published in the state
official paper.

COUNCIL DOES NOT RECOUNT
ANY BALLOTS.
New City Officers Sworn in But the
Mayor Will Be Subject to a Con-
test-Small Changes in the Votes.

The city council met Friday as {
canvassing board and to finish up old
business. A large number Of citizen.
was also present. The tally sheets
were inspected and small changes in
some OF the footngs made. none be-
ing of Importance. The official vote
is published in another column. No
change was shown in the footings on
mayor but that does not alter the fact
that Mr.. Folk is credited with two
challenged votes and there is abun-
dant ground for contest Of the cleo
ton.
The usual batch Of bills were al.
lowed. One remarkable one was that
Of SIG for publishing the election
proclamation by paper not the
official paper Of the city. This publ
cation being official printing the al
lowing Of the bill compels the city to
pay twice for the same work and is a
sample of the kind Of business the city
has been subjected to.
The new officers were sworn in BY
City Clerk Wyandt and took their
places. The new council is composed
OF the following:
First ward, G W Shook, RIA Brown. !!
Second ward, W H Eicholtz, H E

straight to the barn. There they
found their best horse was PROSTATE

hind feet caught in a hole and his
head wedged under the manger
