Deputy Sheriff Charles Mccall
says that he posted the notices of
election on the removal OF the court
house in every town in the county.
From what Chips had to say last
week it would seem that none had
been posted at Middletown. Now
is about the time for New Florence
TO say none were posted there. Still
the Leaders modesty may prevent
us from hearing from Florence
Montgomery Tribune.
The Tribune intimates that New
Florence is in habit OF saying
things whether they are so or not.
Probably he is measuring us by
his own half bushel. The Leaders
modesty need not worry the TRI-
BUNE. 1t is not in the county seat
removal fight, but such insinua-
tions as the above will materially
aid in drawing it in.-New Flor
ence Leader.
The TRIBUNE is not noted for its
modesty, that it need remark about
other papers, but it evidently yet
has left some decency and COM
mon sense. It has not come out
and claimed that the county-seat
removal vote carried. Give the
devil his dues.-Chips.
Here, now, you fellows gsop your
fussing, it doesn't look nice in
print. Not being a lawyer The
TRIBUNE has refrained from pass
ing on the removal question. In
regard to Chips and the Leader we
can only say that we still have an
abiding faith in the old proverb
"that fools rush in where angels
fear to tread"

FLoRY FOR COMMISSIONER.
Mentioned Now For the ENalted
Position of Interstate Commerce
Commissioner. However.

Friends OF Joe Flory, in Kansas
City, says the Journal, have been
asked % aid in having him ep-
pointed a member ofthe Interstate
Commerce commission. His
friends believe that with his long
training in actual railroadinG and
six years OF an oficial capacity as
railroad commissioner, he is well
qualified to perform the duties of
the Board Of Interstate Commerce
commissioners. He is on his way
to Cuba for recreation. BY the
time he returns the democrats will
have exhausted the law to find out
how to get him oil the b6irrd of
railroad commissioners, some lear
ing that, inasmuch as the man
elected to succeed him, the late
Joseph Harrington, is dead, Flory
will hold over.
Notwithstanding a ruling OF the
supreme court has been found,
holding that at the expiration OF an
elective term the oilice is vacated
without action, some democratu
->as~1rHunI<< <>nrpr1<<11
|. they are asking the attorney gen-
eral for an opinion. Republicans
say Flory will not attempt to hold
over, the dignity of his campaign
making it impossible for him to
entertain the idea. Without ex-
pressing his intention, Flory left
the country. When asked If he
would apply for appointment as
as a member of the board OF Inter-
state Commerce Commissioners,
he said he had given the matter no
thought.

Secretary Root made II statement before
the Senate Committee Military affairs, which
is considering the army reorganization bill.
recently passed by the House showing the
necessity for speedy action on the bill. in
order that enlistments may be started under
the new law in time to get men in condition
to take the places of the volunteers whose
time will expire the first of next July. The
committee decided that no further hearing
would be granted, and Senator Hawlev.
Chairman, says no time will be lost in getting
the bill before the senate. Already many
applications are being made to the President
for the smaller commissions in the re-organ-
ized army, the general understanding being
that the appointment of outsiders will. as
rule, be confined to second lieutenantcies and
that all of that grade in the regular army
will be promoted.
In nothing is the great prosperity of the
country more strikingly shown than in the
growth of our expectation of manufactured
metals From statistics already compiled at
the treasury department it is certain that
our exports of manufactured metals will, for
the year ending Dec. 81, 1900, exceed
5000, 600, 900.
The House opened the third week of the
session by taking upand passing the regular
pension appropriation bill, which carries a
little more than $145, 100000
The House ways and means committee
scored triumph when the Revenue reduc-
ton bill was passed by the House just as re-
ported from the committee with the excep-
ton of one unimportant amendment striking
out the clause which abolished one-sixth and
one-eighth beer barrels. Chairman Payne
has received many congratulations.
The Senate is still considering the ship
subsidy bill. When the session opened it
was expected that this measure would be
passed before the Xmas recess, but now
it is not considered likely until well along
in January One reason for this is that
some Senators who are interested in trying
to get amendments for further reductions in
the revenue reduction bill, think they have
more chance for success if the ship subsidy
bills not passed before the other is taken
up. There has been no attempt on the
part of the friends of the shipsubsidy
bill to force vote, but no other measure can
be voted upon in the senate before it is.

A letter published in the New Florence
Leader last week over the initials 81 Ii. S."
goes into the Cook-Lafferty contest some
what at length, 1t concludes by saying in
substance that if the recount shows that
Lafferty did not receive majority of the
votes that he will likely dismiss further pro-
ceedings, but if the recount shows that Cook
did not receive a majority, then Cook will
have to fight it. This kind of argument may
be faultless diction but it is a strange kind
of logic. If the recount should show that
Cook did not receive amajority why shouldn't t
he let the matter drop there ? 1t seems to
us that neither party ought to bubble over
technicalities but let the recount settle the
contention.

The two Bunker brothers,

The two Bunker brothers, living south
west of Conway Springs. are sons of one of
the Siamese Twins, those freaks of nature
so well known generation ago. Formerly
two sons of the other twin also lived in Sum-
ner county, but they moved away and
their present whereabouts is not known.
When Eng and Chang came to the United
States and settled at Mount Airy, y. c.,
where they lived for twenty years, they took
the name of Bunker, and under it they both
married and reared large families. In Janu-
airy, 1874, Chang who was temperate and IT,
ritable, suffered paralytic stroke and died.
Death came Unexpectedly and while the
twins were in bed, and when Eng, the quiet,
sober and patient, awoke and found his
brother dead, he died almost instantly from
the nervous shock. However, an autopsy
determined that Eng could not have been Sc
parated from his dead brother by surgical
means with any chance of life.

All told there were cnly sixteen prison
ers in the dock in the lower branch Of the
Police Court this morning when Judge
Scott took his seat or the sixteen prison
ers nine were women. The charges against
all were of the ordinary character and
there was nothing in the proceedings to
break the usual routine monotony-
The collateral list was comparatively
small. too. but numbered three women who
forfeited the money they had posted for
their appearance in court. Those women
who forfeited collateral were Jessie F:-
bridge, charged with vagrancy, and Annie
Young. and Josie Williams, charged witt.
profanity and disorderly conduct.
Fountain Maurry was the first prisoner
to test the huIaor OF Judge Scott. Ee was
charged with vagraney and entered a Plea
of not guilty. The story told by Maurry
was plausible and had the effect of causing
Judge Scott to order the prisoner released
on his personal bonds.
Rachel Williams and Mary Rollins, col
ored. denied that they were vagranJs,
as charged by Policeman Kemp. Each de-
fendant made a lengthy statement denying
in toto all the allegations as to their
evil life and fame, disorder. etc The
Rollins woman did not succeed in sub
stantiating her plea and was sent down
for thirty days. The Williams woman was
Teleased on her personal bonds
Nandelin Masarik. a Hungarian, was the
defendant TO "a charge OF vagrancy prefer
red by Policeman Archambault In bro
ken English the prisoner told a story Of
hard luck and suffering, but denied being
vagrant- Judge Scott sent Masarik down
fov fifteen days.
Policeman Kemp was the complainant
against Victoria Wheeler, Alberta AleXan-
der and Bessie SeitZ all cOlored who were
accused of profanity and disOrderly conduct
on Street southwest The women denied
the charges against them and were order
ed TO pay fines OF s. each or serve fifteen
days in the workhouse. All went down.
Hattie Burch and Pleasant Bowman. col
cred, shed bitter tears when arraigned
charged by Policeman Johnson with va
grancy- Beth denied emphaticaily that
the accusations made against them were
true. Neither woman created a favorable
impression and the Bowman woman was
sent down for $50 DAYS. The BurcI oman
