To Investigate The Judges.

Hobart, Ok. May o. AT the
suggestion of j. G. Roberts, attor-
ney general, Judge John II. Burford
has instructed the grand jury of
Kiowa county to investigate the
charges that the probate Judge of
kiowa county has charged illegal
and improper fees in the issuing of
deeds to lots in townsItes. Grand
iuries in the counties of Caddo and
Comanche will be asked to do like
wise.
Judge Burford's instructions to
the grand jury cover ten closely
typewriter pages of foolscap. He
calls attention to the absence of
any law allowing fees to probate
Judges for such work and disagrees
with Attorney General Robert Who
is of the opinion that, in the absence
of law, the judges cannot collect
fees. Judge Burford reviews the fee
question and concludes that the
probate judges are entitled to Is
cents a hundred words for record
ing deeds and to fee for acknow-
ledfiing the deed. The grand jury
is instructed to learn wheather the
judge has kept the required record
of fees, made his quarterly report
and turned in at the end of each
quarter all fees in excess of his sal
lery, as based upon the population
of the county. For every day the
Judge has defaulted in making his
quarterly reports he is subject to
fine Of S25. If he has not turned IN
all excess fees at the end of each qua
rter he may be indicted for misdeme.
nor. This will envolve every Judge
in the new counties, according to
Governor Ferguson, who says that
hey have made no accounting of

value OF farm land. He is also a
carpenter and contractor, which will
enable him to know the value of city
property. He came to the territory
almost two years ago and located in
Kay county, and at the opening of the
new country he came to Caddo county
and cast his lot among us. He owns
property here and has always been an
active worker in the Democratic party.
Has strong letters of endorsement by
prominent men OF Indiana, who have
known him for years and speak in

tion June 8, it will be pleasure to us

Baccala,lreate Services,

A large audience Assem- bled at the NJ.
E. church on last Sabbath evening to
enjoy the annual baccalaureate services
for the graduating class of the high
school. The pastors of the various
churches were present and We're in the
pulpit to partake in the services. The
music rendered by the excellent choir of
the Methodist church and the anthem
by the high school quartet was I'M
usually pleasing. Rev, E. NJ. Holmes
opened the service with appropriate
scripture reading aid Rev. A. G. Mar
tyn pronounced a fitting prayer. Rev.
F. w. Bateson presented the bacca-
laureate sermon, which was in all re,
spects model of excellence. In this
effort Rev. Bateson again demonstrated
mis- superior power as clear thinker
and eloquent speaker. The sermon
throughout teemed with profound
truths, which by his accute analysis
were made SO plain that they could
not fail, not only to affect deeply the
young lives for whom they We're given,
but also, all who heard them and rich
fruit is certain to follow their utter
ance. AT the close of the discourse
Rev Bateson addressed himself
directly to the class, which arose in a
body to receive his special message.
Such an occasion is alwayssan impor-
tant event in the life of young person
and the students of this class, with all
present, We're unusually impressed by
the earnest and enobling thoughts given
as the guide of true living, and the
strong appeal for the highest of Chris
tian ideals in life. 1t was the verdict
Of all, that few if any such able bacca.
laureate sermons have been heard in
Denison before. The sermon was fol
lowed by a song and the large audi
ence was dismissed by Rev. Father
| Farrelly.

w. G. Cramer returned from Red
field, South Dakota, last evening. He
is very favorably impressed with the
land in that vicinity, and thinks it the
only place for poor man to get start.
There is a feeling among many people
that they should avoid the real estate
men who are seeking to take people up
in that country to sell them land
Many are under the impression that
they can purchase land cheaper by 60
ing directly to the Dakota land men.
This is mistake, our land agents are
doing perfectly legitimate business,
they are not trying to rob anyone, if
they are successful in selling piece
OF land, it does not signify that they
have made mint of money, but then
it is very frequently the case that a
stranger will be successful where one
who is we'll known will be failure.
