THE ASSESSORS, REPoRTs.
Thsy Contain Many Interesting Satisfies
Concerning sherman C0uHty-Ths
Growth OF the Cattle Industry.

The assessors OF the various town
ships have fled their reports with the
county clerk and some interesting
statistics relative to Sherman county
are given. The population of the
county shows a gain Of but 6, falling
of outside Of GOodland city, which
gained from 962 in 1899 to 1908 this
year; but while the county as a whole
gains slightly or holds its own no com
plant can be made. The population
this year is 1887 as against 1881 in
1899.
Corn and miIlet are the only agri-
cultural products TO show a gain over
last year, corn having an acreage Of
1886, q gain Of ], 800 acres, and miIlet
5,270 acres, a gain comparative with
corn Winter and spring wheat, oats
and barley all show a decrease com
pared with last year. The early winter
aud spring storms kept the acreage OF
winter and spring wheat down to 81
900 acres, over 10000 less than in 1899
Live stock statistics are the ones
that make the good showing for the
county. While mich COWS remain
practically the same at 1900 head,
other cattle have increased from 5S1s
TO 7,6O6 during the year. Swine have
decreased 500 head, the number now
being 2,111, while sheep more than
doubled to 80 head. Horses and mules
remain the same at 1892 head.
The value Of animals fattened and
slaughtered and sold for slaughter
jumped from 81, O69 to s45,I54 during
the past year over the previous one
Poultry products amount to $4,000,
the same as the preceding year. The
big boom in the cattle industry is best
seen by noting the increase Of 1,T88 in
the number Of cattle and at the same
time the gain Of g, O85 in value Of ami
mails slaughtered and sold for sIaugh-
ter, while 1899 was no mean year.
Taken altogether the reports Of the
assessors Of the county show a falling
of in agricultural pursuits, but a more
than overbalancing gain in the cattle
industry.

Engineer COots and little son, Frank
lie, drove out TO Q. 81. Lees place Tues
day afternoon. He hitched the mare
and they went into the house. In
some way the hitching strap came loose
and the black lady hipped out. She
ran to town and plunged onto the walk
and under the awning Of J. Y. Seeley's
store, striking the buggy hub against
a post and was at once a captive. No
damage was done beside breaking a
hole in the sidewalk. Joe Cullins took
the lady on the back track to recover
the owner. Bob was smiling just the
same as ever.

Prof. Bakers Address to Teachers.

Prof. Z. II. Baker, Of Norton, gave an
address before the Teachers assOci-
ton Of Sherman county at the high
school building Saturday afternoon.
After hearing the fOrcible talk Of DR..
Tubbs at the opera house Friday even
ing, Mr.. Bakers OratOrieal efforts fell
pretty fat. The teachers Of Sherman
county know a good talk when they
hear one and it is their opinion that
the Norton man is verbose. He spoke
for about an hour and a half and, of
course, said a few good things and a
few that were not near so good. He
shot his words so hard over the heads
Of the small audience that his vocal
efforts were sufficient to make several
thousand hear. Boiled down speeches
are generally the best; long haranRue
is like much ado about nothing.

THREE GRADUATES LAUNCHED
Lhe Commencement Drew q Big Crowd
Bacealaureafe Address 5y Dr.. Tubbs,
OF saIina, a Mastery Effort.


Baeealaureafe Addreas by Dr.. Tubbs,
OF salina, Mastery Effort
The commencement exercises at the
! opera house Friday evening gave the
finishing touches to three high school
gradUates-Miss Hattie Graham, Mr..
Wade Warner and Mr.. Herbert W.
Stewart.
For the last two years the prescribed
course Of the high school Of GoodIand
has become more advanced than in
times past and today the young man
or young woman who earns a Esheep
skin" from the highest institution Of
learning in this city has climbed to an
intellectual eminenee which enIarRes
indefinitely the circumference Of their
vision.
The opera house was g pretty sight.
The decorations made for the Fire
mems ball having been left intact. the
posts and pillars, instead Of their usual
/ rigid aspect, seemed to look out over
the audience with an air of grace by
being clothed in STARRED bunting; along
the side walls hung recurring arcs Of
I light blue fairy cloth, while the entire
ceiling was festooned with vari-eoIored
strips Of paper, interspersed with jap
snese lanterns. The stage was costly
arranged; rugs, fOOtlights, flowers snd
a nice placing Of the scenes; the open
ings at the rear resting upon a large
flag as q background-aU these shed
their festivOus influence upon the
occasion. Near the stop Of the stage
depended in bold letters the class
motto: sVineit, Sc qui vincit"-He
cOnqIers who OvercOmes himself.
Every seat in the spacious hall was
occupied. A little after eight o'clock
the Monday Night Musical club enter
ed the stage and rendered the initial
number, the Soldiers Chorus" from
Gounod's Faust. The graduates re-
NAMED upon the stage until the pre-
sentation Of diplomas when they seat
ed themselves on the front row Of
chairs to listen TO the words as they
should fall from the lips Of the speaker.
This year the plan Of the exercises
was departure from that of former
years where the chief attraction was
wrapped up in the oratorical efforts Of
the graduates who, on this occasion,
we're relieved Of this bugbear. DR.. Ed.
Tubbs, acting president Of the Kansas
Wesleyan university, Of Salina, deliv-
ered-the baccalaureate address. His
subject was "Why Go to School" DR..
Tubbs' remarks throughout were thor
oughIy germane to his subject, and be
spoke with great ease and presented
such a bulwark of thought that the
hour or more which he consumed
seemed to have been crowded into not
more than 10 minutes. Everyone spoke
highly Of his effort and it is no exag-
Grafton to say that it was the most
mastery address along educational
lines the people Of Goodland have yet
heard.
Mrs. ". A. Bonnie sang a vocal solo,
Believe" in good voice, and after the
address by DR.. Tubbs the Musical club
rendered aThe Spring Song" which
concluded the exercises.

| The Commissioners yesterday announced
| that j. B. Larner, s. W. Woodward. and
| B.. H. Warner had been reappointed as
| members of the Board of Trustees of the
| Washington Public Library. The gentle
| men named, with six others, constitute
| the board, and the terms of Office OF the
1 three appo!ntecs date from June 90 1900.
| The District Appropriations act for the
| fiscal year of 1900 1901 carries items for
the support CT the library aggregating
| Sl1. go. In its last annual report the board
called the attention of Congress and OF
| the commissioners to the fact that the
| library is now housed in building in New
| York Avenue, consisting of seventeen
rooms on four floors necessitating it was
said, much additional labor on the part
OF the librarian and his assistants. They
also called attention TO the fact that fire.
quent gifts of books were made to the
library which called for additional work
in cataloguing and classification. A third
fact was mentioned to the effect that the
library would be removed to the new
building about to be provided through the
benefcence of Andrew Carnegie, and ad-
ditional help was asked for to prepare
for the removal, which would be
made within two years, in order that
cilities might be made prior to the
time of occupying the new building.
For these reasons the trustees asked for
an appropriation of 81, 4S0 to carry out
what was thought to be necessary for the
proper work Of the institution for the
present fiscal year.
AS already announced In The Times.
ground has been broken for the new libra
~ building in Mount Vernon Square. and
the foundations will be laid during the
summer months. Meanwhile the plans for
the building are undergoing final revision
In order TO bring the cost Of the structure
within the amount of money available by
the gift Of Mr.. Carnegie, namely, $500, DOC.
The revision Of the plans and specifica-
tons Is under the supervision of Bernard
Green. the Superintendent Of Construction,
and 1t is expected that they will be fin
ished in time to begin active operations In
building before the close Of the present
season.
