THE FOX SCALP BOUNTY.

AT the April term Of our county
court held here last week, about
$50 was allowed for fox scalp re-
wards and the court passed an
etder doing away with this kind Of
foolishness hereafter. The co urt
is a live up-te- date court and de-
serves credit for its progt essiveness
and trying to bring the county out
of the woods. This paying a
bounty for fox scalps IS a relic OF
the pioneer days, when the county
was a bowling wilderness and some
thing had to be done to check the
bowling. The county has long
been the butt of standing jokes IN
the newspapers in other counties,
over this ~fox-scaIp bounty as indi-
catlye that we were still i'm the red
brush and about 20 be dovoured by
the foxes who were making inroads
on the hennery, the special game
preserve of the preachers. The
Wild fox cln now dig his hole un
scared and unscalpvd so far as the
county is concerned. Judge Mes.
senger of this district, has always
been opposed TO this kind of ex-
penditure of the public money
and when he was on the court
thirty years ago, he got it repealed
but soon after he left the court
some one else got it resstablished
and the county has probably paid
out $4,000 in this way altogether.
If weihad this money on the roads
1T would be much better invested.

TWO INNINGS AND LOST.

There was another big lawsuit
in Justice Flynn's court here last
week. 1t Vas the Fields Radabaugh
saw-mill case over again. 1t had
been through the justice court here
before and up to the cilcuit cour;
and back again and the Radabaugh
boys were defeated, but they have
lots Of grit and arc like the PHO
pinos-you can lick 'em, but they
won't stay licked.
They had given three notes for
the old saw mill and are fighting
each of them as t! ey come due.
Most people would give up and pay
thom after the first case was dc
clded against them, bat that would
stop all the fun aud so the BOYS
are going to fight to the last ditch.
This time they got a new lawyer,
Oscar A. Campbell from Morgan.

the odds all against him. p. j..
Crogan has been the attorney for
Fields, and had fought all over the
ground before, but Campbell made
him earn his money again.
This time they had q jury trial
and it lasted two days. The first
day it looked like all the men from
Masontown to the river and from
Long Hollow to Bull Run, were
here as witnesses i'm the case. "Dee'
Carroll claimed to be the only
man in that section who was not
mixed up in it and he came in too.
for fear a fire would break cut in

to death fighting it all by himself.
The jury decided that Rada-
baughs would have to pay the
second note also besides % lot Of
cost. The lawyers, Justice, and
witnesses are now waiting for the
third note to come due.

The supreme court of Michigan has
rendered a decision which is very dis
couraging to wheelmen. 1t holds that
the townships. cities and villages in
that state are not required to do more
in keeping the highways safe for travel
than to maintain their safety for the
use of foot travellers and ordinary ve-
hicles. without reference to the bicy-
cles. This decision only shows that un-
der the present highway laws wheel
men must not expect much. What they
have to do now is to agitate for better
laws. Quite a different spirit appears
to prevail i'll southern California. where
a company is now building a nine mile
elevated cycle road at an even grade
across a rolling country.
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1899-05-14

Mrs. Washington A. Roebling. dis
tinguished and able champion of her
sex, has recently pointed out that an
American woman who marries a for
eigner to live abroad must expect to
encounter some losses. In the first place,
the laws of his country give women no
such privileges as are accorded to them
here. Her husband will hardly allow.
her to leave her property in land that
does not acknowledge all his rights.
With regard to the moral standards of
marriage in this and other countries,
she points out that life on the continent
makes man everywhere the lord and
master. with the right to do as he
pleases, to violate many Of the moral
laws without suffering in public esti-
nation, and she thinks that few Amer
lean women of wealth, culture and in
dependence would exchange their hap
the rights and privileges of even a Ger
man empress. A woman who marries q
husband who is a native of any of the
continental countries finds when she
reaches her home that the love and af-
fection that should have been exclusive
ly hers have long been given to others.
and that the general custom sanctions
in the husband the living of two lives.
If she is sensible, she philosophers and
resolves to make the best of bad bar
gain, and some high and lofty natures
do indeed find degree of happiness in
their devotion to their children where
their husbands have proved most un-
worthy. But This is an experiment
which the majority of American women
are not fitted either by nature or educa-
tion to make a success of.

Appleton. Wis. has a Marble Heart
Antimatrimonia association. The bach
elors who belong to this society pay an
initiation fee of $25 and annual dues
of SO. The accumulated surplus is to
go to the distinguished Marble Heart
who holds out the longest. What is
curious about this is that the girls of
Appleton, instead of going to work to
break up the association-which they
could very easily do if they are half as
attractive as reported all got Ion
their ears and taken a VOW never to
marry an Appletonian Marble Heart
