A Personal Statement

| dislike to occupy space with
my personal matters and equally
regret the necessity for noticing
the contemplate organ in which
many false and malicious state
ments are made concerning me,
but inasmuch as silence in this
instance might be misconstrued, /
am making an exception to the
rule observed by the Tribune. In
the official organ of the town

ton from the most polished, bril-
liant and eloquent member of the
retiring town administration who
can doubt that | refer to the culti-
waited Wilbar, whose blushina
modesty would bauisa bare state

The Florence daily tribune., 1898-04-05

There seems no crying need for
an extra session of the legislature
of this state. 1t is one thing to
have the national guard in readi-
ness to respond instantly to call
for its services. 1t is altogether
another to go to the expense Of an
extra session of the assembly. The
governor and the military author
tiles of the state of Colorado seem
empowered by existing law to do
all that is likely to be necessary in
the way of putting our national
guardsmen at the disposal of the
United States government. An
appropriation of Sl,O00,000 at the
present time does not seem neces-
sary and very large amount OF
money would be absolutely thrown
away on salaries and mileage
should an extra session be called.
Millions for defense but not cent
for monkey business, might be
adopted as motto for the state,
The regular session of the present
Colorado Legislature was expensive
enough and fruitle,ss enough TO
cause feeling of dismay at the
idea of its being called together
again.

Chauncey Depew is retiring from
the presidency of the New York
Central railroad. Perhaps he will
step into John Sherman's shoes at
the helm of the state department.
He would ably and honorably fill
the important office of secretary of
state, which is too important to be
filled by figurehead, as is now
Sherman, by no fault of his, but
by reason of his advanced age and
waning powers.

S2795. In the first place | per-
sonally have never had a bill
against the town OF Florence. In
the second place the bill to which
this brilliant light of the local
forum refers was not even made
out by me in any capacity. The
books of the Herald were kept
and the Herald's bills made out by
another person at the time to
which he refers. A bill was made
out by this person to which |, as
manager of the Herald. made affi-
davit. | was guilty of careless
ness in not checking it carefully,
but as | was not very familiar
with the business detail of a coun-
try paper and the employe who
made it out was experienced in
such matters, / assumed it to be
correct. Had | been town Off
cial this neglect would have been
reprehensible. As the Herald was
private institution it is no Off
ciars business to criticise it.
Two mistakes had been made in
this bill. An error of SO had
been made in the addition and Is
cents and 80 cents had been
charged an inch when the legal
rate is IS cents and 40 cents. 1t
is obvious that the latter at least
could not have been Intentional.
No one would suppose that such a
glaring error would be passed,
even by such officials as Wilbar,
when it is remembered that from
their experience in checking Just
such bills they must have been
perfectly familiar with the legal
rates for printing.
When the mistake was pointed
out to me | apologized on behalf
of the Herald and subsequently
reprimanded the person who had
made out the bill, for his careless
ness, Only an individual as mar
row and small as Wilbar or the
'official organ" could try to mis-
represent such matter as this,
especially year after it occurred.
However, as his nature seems to be
of the warped kind that makes it
possible that he cannot compre-
hend the fact that all men are not
swindlers by inclination, he or
anyone else interested is invited to
verify for themselves at this office
my statements, especially as to
having personally had nothing to
do with making out the bills.

1t will catch the Great Bend branch
train, relieving the 81. The latter en-
CINE will be sent here on NOSES and will

dixie, the 897 will be sent to Ration for
service on the division.
John Wenzel, foreman of the coal

children to Detroit, Mich, where they
will visit relatives for two weeks.
Five new engines have been assigned
to service on the Oklahoma division,
two big ones and three small ones.
Two of them went through last even

The recent sleet weather played hav-

and Dodge City. Three linemen have
been at work for three days repairing
the lines.
Machinist Weigle will move this week
from the corner of Sixth and Ash to No.
sos West Fifth street. Trainmaster
Saunders, who owns the former proper
ty, will make numerous repairs on it

Machinist Billy Mason who runs the
