mat IS TO say that with S3.27S.u
more due the county for 1897. under
Sneflft Jones. than was due under
sheriff Page for 1896, the Treasurer Of
wake county was paid by Sheriff Jones.
Only S6'o.l3 more than Sheriff Page
IaId him for 1896. Where is that
$1,000 Ito give round figures, that Shcr-
Ill Jones ought to have paid TO the Coun-
ty Treasurer, provided the figures Of
Register of Deeds Rogers are correct !?
In the statement Of the so-called settle
ment with Sheriff Jones. he is credited
With S2,611.4S of it under the strange
tllle OF Amount uncOllected. charged
against the sheriff. As Il matter Of fact
the law specifically requires the Sheriff
70 make i full settlement with the Coun-
~ commissioners on the first Monday
III May. There was no prptcnce of a set
uelilent on that date, but at the June
meeting we are told that Sheriff Jones
complied With the law and made Il set
tlclnent with the Board Of Commission
ers. Upon Investigating the facts. we
ind that he made no settlement. but that
Il transcript was made which shows
that Sheriff Jones owed the County
Treasurer ~S2,651.iS. Why was he not
required to pay that money? The Coun-
y Treasury is bankrupt. It's county
orders are not paid, and III order to keep
the warrants from going to Il point much
below par, the County Treasurer, by
and with the advice and consent. and
ut the request Of the County Commits
Sioners. has used something like 5000
Of the sacred public school funds of the
county to pay county orders. Accord
ing to the statement Of Register of Deeds
Rogers. if the sheriff had paid this So
6o1 rs. amount uncollected. charged
against the sheriff." there would have
been no need for the County Treasurer
to have used the sacred school fund tc
hide the bankruptcy Of the County
Treasury.

THE ARMISTICE

Yesterday, and since the preparation Of
the foregoing message, official informa-
ton was received by me that the latest
decree Of the queen regent Of Spain di-
reefs General Blanco, in order to pre-
pare and facilitate peace, to proclaim
suspension Of hostilites, the duration and
details of which have not yet been COM
municated to me. This TACT, with every
other pertinent consideration, will, I am
sure, have just and careful attention in
the solemn deliberations upon which you
are about to enter. If this measure at
tains a successful result, then our as
pirations as a Christian, peace-loving peo-
people, viii be realized. If it fails. it viii
be only another justification for our con-
templated action.

Local Members Celebrate an Ami

Thursday afternoon District Deputy,
James Popert, and about seventeen
other members of the A. o. U. w. of
Sacramento went to Folsom to take
part in the celebration Of the thirtieth
anniversary Of the institution Of the
Ancient Order of United Workmen.
In the evening an excellent literary
and musical program was rendered, af-
ter which there was a public exhibition
Of the screen work of the order, and
that was followed by a dance which
was INDUCED in until after midnight.
Late in the evening the visiting
brothers from Sacramento were invited
by the local members of the A. 0. Z. w.
to partake Of a sumptuous repast which
had been previously arranged for them
and friends of the local members. 1t
was the unanimous opinion Of those
present that the evening was the most
enjoyable that had been spent in Fol-
som for many a day.
The party from Sacramento were
taken 20 Folsom in a four horse con-
veyance, and were safely returned to
their homes next morning in time to
