On the first OF September Supervisor
SnclgrOvc's term of Office expired by
resignation. During his term many
miles of dirt roads have been CON
structed, the finest Court House and
Jail in the State have been built, and
the COunty's poor made comfortable.
Major Eandivcr, the incoming Super
visor. is also man Of we'll poised
parts, independent Of I'LL restraints,
inhampered by any ring or clique, and
II man who will administer the finances
OF the County rs judicionsly and as
lmpartally ns rests in his power. 1t
must be remembered that he has not
been schoolcd. us yet, in the intricacies
nj til" H!i"", AMI iiasiiiirii lis there has
been much discussion regarding the
state OF the COunty's finances, VIC would
recommend for his own and the peoples
satisfaction that lie prepare at the car
licst date possible for presentation to
the Grand Jury ut its next term of
Court clear, concise, detailed state
ment of the condition of the County.
showing its enumerated assets and
liabilities, and how the latter are Sc
cured. We have no hcsitancy in say
ing that Supervisor Snelgrove's books
arc quite accurately and neatly kept,
and will show very clearly what tho
people at large are anxious to know.
If it is not proper that this exhibit
should appear ut the time mentioned,
it is certainly incumbent upon the
office to make the showing asked for in
its annual report, as these reports sell
dom give out II satisfactory idea of the
basis of taxation. Another suggestion:
Let the Supervisor pcrusc tho recon-
mendatiOns of the Grand Jury for the
past three or four years that he may
acQuaint himself of the unfulfilled de-
manis and suggestions of that body.
We know that there are certain recon-
mcnuatiOns that have not been carried
out owing to the finances of tile Coun-
ty. The people want to know when
these will be carried out without
plunsing the County into debt. One
of these recommendation we recall is
the one relating to the building Of per-
mancnt roads similar to the Mccklcn-
burg. \. c.. roads. 1t is u fact demon
stratcd over and over again the pnst
winter that the same expenditure of
energy on macatlam roads rcuuisitc
to drag heavy twO-hOrsc wagon
through the endless and almost bot
tomlcss mirc Of dirt roads will pro-
ducc more than double the amount of
taxes required to build and maintain a
maca'lam road. These suggestions are
not made with any view to undcrate
the ability of the new incumbent to
ascertain the will Of the people but to
assist him in that duty, as We know
that Inc recognizes the fuct that to be
an acceptable servant of the people one
must do the peoples will.

The shortest honeymoon and the
quickest application for iivorcc on
record arc reported in tie Winfield
(kan.) Courier. On Monday Of last
week 4 resident of Pawncc, .. f.. was
married to young woman Of Winfield.
1t was noticed that the bridegroom was
somewhat under the Influence Of liquor
during the ceremony. and when he
retired to the room of the bride he sat
down in chair and at once went to
sleep. When he awakened two hours
later his bride was still with him,
but she had been transformed from an
affectionate girl into an angry and
disgusted woman. She turned a deaf
ear to all his apologies and entrcaties,
and walked out Of the room and straight
to lawyers Office, where she COM
menced action for divorce.
A story comes from George town
County Of the eating alive Of young
negro child by wild hog, which ven
turcd out Of swamp and seized upon
it's prey. The mother Of the child
came upon the scene just in time to
save few fragments OF the child
body, upon which the animal was still
munchins. The swamps in that sec
ton were at one time filled with wild
boars and animals Of that class.
- The business connections Of
family in kirwin, Kas., are rather sug-
gcstive. One son is doctor, another

do until hr tries, and then he is often
sorry that he found out.

subjected, certainly within the city

T~reasonable Communications Sent
to Soldiers In the Philippines.
Washington, April 25.-Secretary Al
ger has received from Maj. Gen. Otis,
commanding the troops in the Philip
pines, a report regarding the. alleged
reasonable communications which 1t
is asserted have passed between peo-
pie in this country and the soldiers.
The secretary felt fro mthe first that
there was no ground for the sensation
al statements made, but as a matter OF
public policy took immediate steps to
learn from Gen. Otis what, If any,
foundation existed for them. The lat
ter's report shows that n Of the regl-
ments under his command received ca
Diagrams reading as follows:
Don't enlist, boys"
One CT two of these were signed
COMMITTEE" or '"The Committee"
while others had no signatures. The
secretary did not make public the
name Of the organization to which the
dispatch had been sent. The whole
matter has been very much exagger-
ated, he said, as Gen. Otis reports
show that it was only to the above
extent that any communications OF
the character indicated had passed.
He said he attributed them entirely
to the work of Observation-Disclosures who,
because of their cowardly spirit, had
refused to put their names to the dis
patches.

Seattle, Wash, April %. - A Times
special from Victoria, b. c., says that
the steamer Morangi, from Australia,
brings advices that the commander of
the German .man-of-war Fake, at Sa-
moa, had been arrested by the British,
and is now held a prisoner on the YES
sci Porpoise. He vas surprised by Il
squad of British sailors handing arms
and ammunition to Mataafa's men.
The report vas brought to Australia
by the passengers of the steamer Upo-
10. After the arrest Of the Fakes
commander q conference was held be-
tween Capt. Sturdee and Admiral
kautz, and the Porpoise and Philadcl-
phia steamed in position on either
side of the Fake. Orders were then
sent aboard that If she made a move
of any kind she would be blown out of
the water. No n is allowed to go
aboard or leave tine German ship of
war without permission written and
signed by either Capt. Sturdee, of the
Porpoise, or Admiral Kautz.
Fighting continues between the
Bush fights, with slight loss of life,
are daily occurrences, and business Is
practically at a %standstill. There is
considerable sickness among III OF
the Porpoise and Philadelphia. Three
of the Porpoise's crew died from fever.
Lieut.. Garnet, OF the Porpoise, is
among the sick. Mataafa's u is
waning.
April 1 is the date on which the
reported arrest was made.

SECUTED AT.
Warrington Omciala Express Disbe-
life in Accuracy Of the Report.

Washington 0ficiala Express Dfsbe-
life in Accuracy of the Report.
Washington, April %. - The state
ment that the commander of the Ger
man cruiser Fake had been arrested
at Apia by the British naval command
err was at once secuted by the officials
to whom it was referred here. Both
Secretary Hay and Secretary Long ,ex-
pressed their disbelief in the accuracy
of the report. Attention was directed
to the fact that the navy department
had heard from Admiral Kautz by
cable from Auckland ut a later date
that that upon which the steamer just
arrived at Victoria must have sailed
from Apia on her long eastward voy-
age. Admiral Kautz's dispatch was
dated April a. and it was forwarded
from the nearest cable station-Auck-
land, April II. 1t is regarded as ey-
tremely unlikely that a steamer could
have made the trip from Apia to Vic
toria since April d.. 1t is suggested IS
an explanation OF the story that the
steamers crew had heard Of the ar
rest Of the German manager of the
plantation where the American and
British sailors We're ambushed, and of
his being taken aboard the British
warship, and had jumped to the con-
clusion that the person arrested was
the German commander.
It is pointed out in official German
quarters that the arrest of the COM
mander Of one warship by the COM
mander of another ship is an absurd
ity, and moreover, cable advices have
reached the embassy much later than
these which a steamer could have
brought to British Columbia, no such
action was disclosed. The British en-
bassy also is without any information
of such an occurrence.
