All of the visiting boys seemed
to be nice gentlemen, at any rate
they acted as such while here, and
went away well pleased with the

themselves by long running catches
in the field. The ball could not

The Yoakum boys felt so sore
over their Sundays defeat that
they went back home, loaded up
with crack players. and returned
to Sinner Monday for their revenge
OF course the Sinner Kids were
badly outmatched, and lost the
game on u score of 7 to 20. Come

at this place, there being no noisy
demonstration of any sort what
ever. The entire population was
out en- masse at the celebration at
the Park Sunday, and as that was
simply 4th of July observed on
the Bird, we all got quite enough to
do us for some time, 1t was IL
great day for Moulton, and we will
not begin to try to tell in our
limited space of how pleasantly the
day was spent. Suffice it to say
that it was fully up to anything of
the kind that it has been our
pleasure to attend, and in this all
present will no doubt agree with
us. A very interesting feature of
the days entertainment was the
drill by our juvenile military COM
pany, which is composed of boys
from eight to fourteen years of ags,
These boys have onYTSeen drilling

JUDGMENTS ARE MANY.
Operation Of the New Law Makes
Extra Work.

The county clerks office is busy
listing up judgments for taxation
under the new law. The list Is a
long one and as the judgments are to
be taxed at the place where rendered
Abilene gets the larger portion Of
them. They are assessed at one
third face value and il tax is not paid
will be advertised and sold next Jan
uary. The list ofjudgments assessed
for taxation in this city amount APP
proximately to 100000 at face value
but as this sum includes all the old
boom-time judgments, many Of
which are against people gone
from this place years ago.. the
judgments that are worth paying
taxes on are but a small portion Of
that sum. The judgments in other
towns are those secured in local JUS
tees courts; Abilene's includes dis
trict and Justices courts. The con-
stitutionality Of the law taxing judg-
ments will soon be tested in the state
supreme court.

KANSANS 60 JULY %.
Funston Put the 90th Regiment in
Condition.

CAMP MERRITT, SAN Francisco,
July 2l.-It was learned at division
headquarters yesterday that the
Twentieth Kansas had been assigned
to the Scandal, the German steamship
secured last Sunday. A week from
Thursday is the day set for the sail
ing of the vessel. The Scandal will
carry 1900 men and besides the Kan.
sas regiment will carry the Oregon
recruits. The Scandal will sail indie.
pendently of any expedition and will
overtake the fourth expedition at
Honolulu and from there will proceed
to Manila.
The Twentieth Kansas is setting
the pace in drilling and sentry duty
for the other volunteer companies as
indicated in the following words of
commentator from Brigadier General
King;
"When | came here the Kansas
regiment was in very wretched con-
dition and ! was much concerned
about it. But when Colonel Funston
came here from detached duty he
took hold in earnest and he deserves
all the more credit because the i'm.
provement has been brought about SO
rapidly. | venture to predict that
the Kansas regiment will make a
name for itself"
The number Of sick cases in the
Twentieth Kansas has been reduced
one-half since the removal from the
old camp four days ago.
Lieutenant Colonel Little has re-
covered from his illness and reported
yesterday for duty.
Brigadier General Miller has been
ordered to move the troops from
Camp Merritt at once and it is ex-
pected that by Saturday they will all
be on the reservation.

DICK|NSON'S CORN.
ACREAGE OF EACH OF THE
TOWNSHIP.
Generally High Condition Except in
Wesdy Fields-Crop Is Well Ad.
vanced and Promises q Good Yield.

This is the season when Kansas
people watch the skies and talk about
the corn. The crop in this county
was put in under some difficulty,
heavy rains in the spring making
planting slow work and keeping back
cultivation at a time when work was
needed. But the rain made the corn
grow rapidly and where the weeds
did not get too much start the growth
is very rank and fine. Many farmers
evened up by cutting out the weeds
that were too large to handle with
cultivators. There are some fields
reported where the weeds got too
much start and have practically
ruined the corn but these are few and
will cut little figure in the total yield.
The last rains were twelve days ago
and were local in their scope so that
many parts Of the county now need
more. However, only the weedy
corn is suffering badly and a big crop
is in prospect. OF course the crop
is not yet "made" and it will take
another month to determine the yield.
