Five days later all the til were

at Russell. Anterior had directed Stan
nard to move in and take possession of
the best guestroon under his roof.

absence. Walters, with his little COM

post and on his way back to Fort Steele.

going was to help carry Maynard over

As result Of her revelation Cook
had rushed for Kansas and was heard of
no more for several days, and meantime
there wasn't woman at Russell who
did not rejoice in the fact that she at
least had never for an instant believed
that Miss Baird had anything to do
with the persons guilty Of the burglary.

Raymond. Walters had also had to call

not only did the sheriff admonish him
that such was his duty, but there were
even two ladies at the post who SINH

nor Miss Baird would ask the question,
but Major Barry did, and demanded an
answer, and then Walters named Mrs.

that the bottom and the iron bands were

ever SO gently, the sides seemed ready

The woman stood staring at him with
dilated eyes. Her face turned siokly

her, then in stupefaction at the detect

"What does the man mane?" asked
one Of them, suddenly finding voice.
"Sure you towld us you'd never come

Waldo County Finances.

At the opening of a campaign for the
election of county officers it is both inter
esting and profitable to review the finan-
ces of the county under the management
OF the Republican and Democratic parties
Prior to 1873 the county had been in Re
publican hands for many years and the
finances were so managed that but little
was said in the papers or by speakers on
the subject. The taxes were kept at a
reasonable figure, enough to pay the ex-
penses of the county, economically ex
pended. and create neither debt nor
surplus. From 1879 to 1885 the manage
ment was in Democratic or Fusion hands,
and as a result the first day of January,
1885, found the county 80, 54S II in debt.
At the election in 1884 the Republican
county ticket was elected except the
sheriff, and as each succeeding election
changed more of the offices back to Re
publican control, the result was noticeable
in the improved financial condition of the
county. Ia 1872 the county res ources
exceeded the liabilities IS, %. but the
next two years the tramp business was
worked for all it was worth by Democratic
sheriff and his deputies. In 1898 the ex-
cess of resources fell to -, 026 81, and in
1894 there was an excess of liabilities OF
81. z73 ~. In 1895 Sheriff Norton and
his deputies, Republicans, co-operated
with the County Commissioners TO reduce
the expenses. The prisoners were set al
hard labor, and no persons were arrested
as tramps who could be other wise dispos-
ed Of No efforts were put forth to induce
tramps to travel this way, and the WOOD
shed and garden bitches, with hard WORK
On cold days, caused the tramps to keel
clear Of Waldo county. In order to a7oic
the hard labor some got drunk on feigned
drunkenness and were sentenced for that
ottense. Probably not over 10 OF L a
year were bona-tide local DRINKS, the
others being uamps, Tie following
table shows the improvement under Re
publican officials.
The Republican journal. [volume] (Belfast, Me.) 1829-current, 1898-08-11

In five years Democratic management
changed a surplus of nearly 9l0,0 to a
debt of over 81, 200. Three years of Re
publican management paid the debt and
gave an excess of resources of over SD,

Voters who have the interests Of the
county at heart will find little difficulty in
deciding which is the better ticket to vote.

Statistics previously published in The
journal show that the past fiscal year was
tie most prosperous in the history of this
country. The war has temporarily stay
ed the rising tide of prosperity, but with
the return Of peace it must sweep on like
the tidal flow of the Bay of Fundy. Mil
lions of American money will be diverted
into new enterprises in the West Indies,
where fresh fields for skill and industry
will be opened to our people. The war
has not only advanced our prestige as a
nation, but it promises to usher in sea-
son of such prosperity as this country has
never before known.
