The county board are endeavoring

The county board are endeayoring
to place the county on better footing
financially by offering to sell the tax
certificates now owned by the county.
We believe.that the selling Of the GER
tificates is good move but think that
if they were offered in smaller lots the
county would realize a great deal more
for them because then men with small
means could invest in them and com
petition would be brislxer, while under
the present plan of selling them all IN
one bunch very few men in this part Of
the state have got or can interest capt.
tol enough to invest in them and the
bids will of necessity be confined to one
or two.
Last Thursday evening while the
Rev. III. G. Todd was busy at work fix
ing up the Reading Room and getting
located in his new quarters he was sur
prised by large crowd suddenly break:
ing in upon him. They were armed
with formible looking baskets and pro-
ceeded at once to TAX possession of the
Reading Room and tomake themselves
at home. He soon found that the in
vaders had no sinister motives but were
simply party of his friends bent upon
giving him surprise and dedicating
the new reading room. After congra-
tulating Mr.. Todd on the new improve
ments made possible in the areading
room by it's new location, and enjoying
very pleasant evening with music ano
the excellent lunch prepared by the
ladies the party broke up about ter
o'clock.

THE NEW ARMY BILL.
It is introduced in the House by the
Chairman of the Military Com
Tl1ittee

Washington, March 1S.-Representa-
tive Hull of Iowa, chairman of the
house committee on military affairs.
has introduced the bill reorganizing the
line of the army. 1t is a sweeping
measure, making many changes in the
existing system 1t makes the peace
organization Of each regiment of in
fantry now in service hereafter en-
brace one colonel. one lieutenant col
onel, two majors, ten captains, II lieu

Section two provides that in time of
war, the president, in his discretion,
may establish a third battalion for each
infantry regiment consisting of four
companies to be supplied by manning
the two skeleton companies and by or
ganizing two additional companies. The
vacancies Of commissioned officers in
the additional companies shall be filed

vice.

Governor Leedy Wants to Head
a Military Company
Of Corporate persons in the
War Against Spain.
HAS HAD APPLICATION
From Many Farmers, Mechanics
and Merchants to Enlist,
But Not a Single Corporation
Periodically Responds.

Governor John. W. Leedy talks in
half jocose, half earnest way of form
ing a new military company to go to
the front under his personal command
in the event of war with Spain. He has
now applications of volunteers on file
in his office sufficient to form several
companies, but ordinary individuals
viii not answer for Governor Leedy's
organization.
He wants to command a company
formed exclusively of the persons"
which Justice Harlan of the United
States supreme court declared to exist
in the decision of the Nebraska maxi
mum rate law. The Kansas executive
says that if it is possible to secure
such individuals and war is declared
with Spain he will see that they go
where the shot and shells are the thick
est.
I have received scores of volunteer
applications from farmers, and mer-
chants and mechanics all over the
state" said Governor Leedy today, but
so far haven't received a notice from
one corporation that it is ready to give
its services to the country. This can
understand Justice Harlan, and what
Justice Harlan says must be so, stated
in his decision that corporations were
persons, like you and me and the rest
of the people in these United States.
and had the same rights as natural
born citizens. If this is so, why don't
they come forward like the natural
defense of the country. It's my ambi-
ton to command a company of this
kind in the event of war with Spain,
and I shall feel hurt if these persons
fail to respond and leave me unable to
accomplish my ambition.
Il suppose that the only way we can
fix this thing is to have the officers Of
the corporations represent the general
person. but so far I haven't received
a line from any of the officers intimat-
ing their Willingness to pose as targets
for Spanish bullets. It's high time that
Bale Waggener strapped on a KNAPP
sack and shOuldered a musket and
came over from Atchison to offer his
services in behalf of the Missouri Pa
cific railroad. President Ripley and
Vice President Morton have waited long
enough to send in advice that they are
ready to march to the front as repre-
sentatives of the great person. the
Santa Fe system. I feel that the su-
preme court individuals are sighting
the state by failing to signify their will
lngness to so in defense of the gov
eminent, and believe that with the same
rights as natural born citizens, they
should show some of the same patriot
ism. -

RURAL MAIL DELIVERY.
The House Doubles the Appropria-
ton Recommended.

Washington, March 1S.-The whole
session of the house yesterday was de-
voted to the postOffice appropriation
bill, which was taken up for amend
ment under the five minute rule. The
question which consumed the major
portion of the time related to the al
10 vance for clerk hire at pOstOffices and
to rural free delivery.
Mr.. Sperry CRep., Comm, offered an
amendment to increase the allowance
for clerk hire from $11, 100000 to $11, 300,-
00O
The vote was a tie, IS to s. and Mr..
Hull (Rep.. Ia, who was in the chair,
defeated it by casting his vote in the
negative.
clerk hire allowance $780, was imme-
diately offered, and in the course of the
debate, members representing rural dis
tricts seem inclined to array themselves
against those from the great cities on
the ground that the appropriation for
clerk hire was absorbed by the big Of
fees.
Mr. Hepburn CRep., Ia, gave no.
tice that he would offer an amendment
discretion. to use half a million of the
appropriation in third and fourth class
offices.
The amendment was strongly antag-
onized by the appropriations commit
tee.
1t was defeated. 48 to so.
Mr. Hepburn then offered the amend
ment, of which he had given notice, and
it was adopted without a division.
Mr. Stocks (Dem.. S. CO, moved to in
crease the appropriation for rural free
delivery from $3.50. 600 to 5000. 900.
After an extended discussion, the
amendment was adopted, los TO 81.

REDUCED RATES GRANTED.
Railroads Could Not Wait for the
Anti-ScaIping Bill

Chicago, March 1S-Some time ago
the western roads decided that they
would not grant reduced rates to sew
eral of the large meetings of the year
until they saw whether or not congress
would pass the anti-scalping law. They
were afraid that in the event of its
not being passed they would have again
the old decentralization in rates that has
confronted them after all the large
gatherings. The Cuban trouble has
prevented congress from taking any
action on the anti-scalping law bill and
now the roads have been compelled to
make rates for two of the meetings
which they declared they would not do
until after the fate of the bill was set
tied. They have voted in favor of a
rate of one fare plus 81 for the meeting
of the American Medical association at
Denver in June and for the annual
meeting of the Elks in New Orleans
the early part of May
Notice was today given by the Burl-
ingtOn and Rock Island roads that to
meet the competition Of the south
western roads they will make a rate of
one fare for the round trip for the
meeting of the master plumbers, to be
held at San Antonio, Tex, April 1916.

make a strong effort to secure the Pop
ulist state convention, and among some
of the Populist members of the admin
istratiOn it is believed that it would be
a good move to hold the convention
there. A delegation from the CONNER
ciaI club of that city will appear before
the POpulist state central committee
at the meeting held to decide on the 10
cation, and Will offer to put up a suita-
BILE temporary auditorium if Pittsburg
is decided on.
This is the first time that Pittsburg
has asked for any state convention,
and because of the influence it might
have in that section of the state, it
may be decided to give Pittsburg the
convention.

Fifteen Hundred Dawson City
Men Anxious For the First
Boat Southwark.


Tacoma, Wn.. March 18.-H. c. Petit
of Snohomish, who returned from Alas
ka on the City of Seattle. brings news
to the effect that next June and July
will witness a stampede from Dawson
that will be equalled only by the pres
ent rush of gold seekers to the Klon-
idke. Up to February s. when Petit left
there had been about 1900 applications
for passage south. Before that number
was reached, the accommodations of all
the first boats had been sold, and no
more applications would be received.
When bookings open for the second
boats, there will be another rush. Prac-
ttcaIIy every one of the Is hundred anx-
ious to get out early will bring gold,
many in large amounts.

The penny contribution fund which the
