Capt. Jones and wife were up
from their cottonwood ranch last
Monday. Mr. Jones has been on
Il deal tor the Curran ranch on
Bear Creek north OF town, which
adJoins the land he purchased
of l. n. Novels.
G. +. Wheeler of Villas, closed
his store Wednesday and came to
court as IL Juryman. Judge
Northcutt however excused him
from service and he went home
after partakinS of bounteous
dinner at the Ward House.
Rev. j. B. Harvey, Sunday
school missionary for this section,
was in this vicinity Sunday and
Monday last. lie preached Sun
day evening, and gave Sunday
school talk Monday morning He
went from here to the Cimarron
country to continue his work. He
thought he would be able to attend
Sunday school convention here
this summer.
The Jury as subpoenaed, with
the exception of three excused
and one, not subject to duty, be-
ing out of the state, were present
at roll call Wednesday. in get
ting the jury Wednesday alter
noon to trv the case of the people
VS.. VIM. Thompson. Many new
men had to be called in. Not
much trouble was experienced
however in securing n Jury.
The memorial services Saturday
at the school house were unusually
interesting and Impressive. Rev.
Copeland delivered the chief adj
dress which was short and well
received. Dinner was served to
all by the w. II. &. at the q. \. Il
hall. The attendance at the eX-
ercises and dinner was better than
usual. There are no soldiers
buried III the Springfield cemetery
and consequently no graves to
decorate. May this continue to
be the case for many years.
The matter of diffe renee between
the board of County Commission
ers and eX-Co. Treas. Martin, re
gardlng fees allowed him for col
lectlng school moneys, was heard
by Judge Northcutt, IN chambers.
Thursday evening, the Judge de-
clding that the treasurer was not
entitled to 5l6 for collecting school
money. 1t seems that nearly all
the county treasurers in the state
have been claiming this fee and
receiving 1t which is clearly lille
gal according to the judgement OF
Judge Northcutt.

proposed amendments referring to the
distribution through news agencies. 1t
would have the effect. he said, or requir-
ing publishers of magazines to organize
their own system of distributing and
thus increase the cost, as well as de-
crease the circulation of their publica-
tions. Any addition to the cost would
render it impossible to publish 1O-cent
magazines. To advance the price of mag
azines to Is cents would be to cut the
circulation one-half. Chandler said he
did not propose to press his amendment.
The members of the rivers and harbors
committee appeared before the appro-
priation sub committee on the sunGry
civil bill today to urge the insertion in
that bill of a provision for the twenty
two continuing contract projects au-
thoriZed by the last river and harbor
bill. The secretary of war has let only
a portion of these contracts, those for
work at Buffalo, the two New York pro-
jects, Cumberland sound. Savannah and
the Delaware harbor of refuge. but adj
vertisements of the contracts of the Ohio
river, Duluth. Milwaukee and some
others have been issued. MeSsrs. Hooker
of New York. Catchings of Mississippi,
Towne of Minnesota and Henderson of
Iowa submitted arguments. They asked
for a little over $4,000, 900. the amount
which the government engineers seti-
mated could be profitably expended dur
ing the year beginning July l, 1897. on
these authorized works. Although the
subcommittee on appropriations has not
yet come to any conclusion, the impress
sion is that these contract works will
be provided for in the sundry civil bill.
