HARDY.

Al last Saturdays meeting of the
bondsnen of j. 7. Wilkins AZ COL
Hector there was almost fun at
tendance. 1t was voted by a large
majority that each bundsman
should pay on the shortage, wLich
has been reduced by Mr.. Wilkins to
about 500, in proportion to the
amounts qualified Cor on the bond.
This would be about l,2 per cent
of the amount qualified for, or
SlI.5O on each $500. This plan was
objected TO by Capt. w. G. SIoan,
who had qualified for $4,000, and
since the meeting he has written to
parties IN Hardy that he has for.
warded to Ii. 3. Hill, chairman o.
the meeting to collect and pay over
for the bondsmen, 1926, which Is .he
share Of each bondsmen if all pav
equally. There Is no question, ap,
paren:ly, that If 1t comes to legal
decision all bondsmen will haVeto
pay equally, but this was not the
expectation Of most Of them when
they qualified on The bond; more,
over, they object to Capt, Sloln's
action on the ground that he COM
pleted the collectors bond on the |
understanding that the PeoI,e's
Bank should have the use of the !
II oney while IN the control Of the
collector, As Capt Sloan has had !
the opportunity to make some
money out Of the use of the funds,
while no other bondsmln has, many
OF the bondsmen hereabouts ar,ue
that justly he should pay on The
portion of the bond which he made
good. However, as there Is no aw

ldhers to his position there Is pob,

A temporary arch, since perpeuat-

elaborateness of detail and magnffi-

splendid creation in the shadow of
which Admiral Dewey reviewed tho
parade at Madison Square.

alone on the Dewey triumphal arch
has an estimated value of 100000. all

the. National Sculpture society. No
such monument as this was ever erect
ed in any country for merely temper
airy purposes,
In six hours the troops passed under
it and then the direct object for which
it was builtt was achieved.
From Thirty fourth street to the
