The two Republican commissioners favored
making the full court house levy this year,
crops or no crops and that settled II. What
Allen county needs Is another commissioner
like Jim Lockhart To straighten out Il lot of
tangles in county business.
The above appeared last week in the
official Populist and Democratic organ
of Allen county. 1t is fair sample
of the broad land liberal and honest
methods which its Iauthor desires to
have put in charge of the county
matters. The vote on the court house
levy was unanimous, Mr.. Lockhart
voting for the full levy with the other
comn issioners. 1t was his privilege
and he exercised it, regardless of
party gods. Mr.. Lockhart has never
been off from the other commissioners
save in the matter of letting the county
printing and then he voted against the
REGISTER. The REGISTER has never
by statement or insinuation accused
Mr.. Lockhart of being other than an
honest, conscientious citizen, but he
surely will not take Otlense if his
Republican friends, who like him,
offer prayer that he be delivered
from his ''friends.n

The benighted editor of the Dodd

RAILROAD COMBINATIONS
Commission Files Report Of damages
Allowed Against the New
Railroad

Monday morning the board Of view
ers and assessors appointed by the
district court began its two days job
of condemning the right-of-way of the
Fort Scott. lola g. Western railway
from Moran west to the city limits of
lola. The route followed is the one
advestised by the company and a
one hundred foot strip was condemned
and damages awarded to land owners
through whose property the road will
pass. The total amount of damages
awarded for this strip from Moran to
Gas City is 1918. 60, which certainly
cannot be considered exorbitant by
the company. In LaIIarpe several
lots were practically donated and a
good deal of the route crosses Banyon
Zinc Company land which is consid-
cred to do less damage because the
road will be OF service to the com.
pany's factories.
In detail the damages awarded are
as follows.

ran, $40,

One of the most helpful books on nerve
weakness ever issued is that entitled Nerve

intis fifth thousand. This work OF an eXper-
fenced and reputable physician, is in agreeable
contrast to the vast sum of false teaching
which prevails on this interesting subject. II
abounds in carefully considered and practical
advice and has the two great merits OF wisdom
and sincerity
1t is endorsed by both the religious and Sec
ular press. The Chicago Advance says: "A
perusal of the book and the application OF its
principles win put health, hope and heart into
thousands of lives that arc now suffering

Working on City Levy.

While the committee of the city
council which has in charge the levy
ing of the tax which the city must
raise this year has not yet reported
some progress has been made. Sew
eral departments have not yet made
their requisition on the committee and
so the total cannot be known, but a
member told the REGISTER he estimat-
en- the figure at $500 and possibly not
over S. on the 800. The general
revenue has been too low, they think,
and will probably be raised from 10
cents to a dollar. The law requires
that the water works. bonds becared for
by an annual levy sufficient to pay in
terest. Revenues from the plants go
into the general levy fund, they are
told, so this may be lowered next year
when the water is generally used,
but this year four mill levy must be
made for water interest. People are
deeply interested in the subject and
will solicitously await the day of final
announcement which must come soon,

tn. Seventh Day.

Judge Holbrook writes lengthy
article for the Alamosa journal
upholding the sanc,i'y Of the
Seventh day.
According to Noes the Lord
sat upon his throne and spake the
universe into existence in six days
and became tired, SO much so that
he consecrated the seventh day
and made it holy.
1t is possible that Moses might
not have been correctly informed
when he wrote Genesis. He evi-
IDENTIFY did not comprehend the
magnitude of the sun, moon and
stars. II he had, he might have
given the Lord more time IN which
to create the heavenly bodies.

his whole case on this mistake of

NUMBER III
Band Concert.

The band recently organized at
this place gave its first concert at
the Broadway Opera House Thurs
day night.
The best musical talent in the
city assisted the band and each
number on the program was well
chosen and ably rendered. Space
forbids the individual mention of
the various selections. but to say
that each performer seemed at his
best wonld be no exaggeration.
The evening was stormy, and
some people were obliged to re-
main at home, in consequence.
But the slim attendance at this,
the first public entertainment that
the band has given, has failed of
anything like an explanation.
The director of the band, l.. G.
Pearson, has done wonders in the
way of bringing the organization
mp to its present point of excel
lence. In the three short weeks
OF its organization, the band has
made extraordinary progress and
has shown n determination for
business seldom seen in isimilar
body of musicians.
The opportunity of securing the
services OF such an able band man
as Professor Pearson, is rare and
the band boys properly appreciate
the fact, but the frigid support of
the town people is not calculated
to produce much enthusiasm IN
this enterprise.
4 town the size of Monte Vista
should he able to support good
band. We do not question the
ability IN this case, but the lfeless
attitude of those who should tax.
AN interest is chilling.
