vey rctraced their steps and thoroughly
checked the work the entire length OF the
elghty-One miles that Juiued the meridian,
and determined from the initial monument
for the first fifty miles north, which brought
It 10 the north fork OF Red river, the
mounds established by Jones & Brown,
contractors, who In 1893 set these mounds
now on the ground.
In surveying the Indian lands, DETECTION
was made Mr.. Giraud says, from the In
iual monuments 90 minutes 10 the right
from true north, and from there a true
north line intersected the eighty-hrst mite
post in the valley, on tho north side Of the
Washita river. He says that James H.
Clark the United States commissioner who
established the Texas boundaries In 1858
and 1859, states In his report that he re-
traced the Jones & Brown line, found II to
be practically correct and adopted 1t as
such This line was continued north and
connected TO the point determined in the
survey of the State of Kansas some years
previous as the Tooth meridian and fell
some 100 feet westward.
Mr.. Giraud says In the Communication
from the secretary of the interior to Gov
ernor Sayers and referred TO by Judge
Charles RoEan, commissioner OF the gen
eral land office, in his report to the gov
ernor on the subject there seems to be
doubt as to whether the new initial monu-
ment lately established by the astronomer
OF the interior department is S6At9 40 feet
east or west OF this initial monument estab-
llshed by Astronomer Daniel q. Majors in
1858, and which Jones & Brown used as
their beginning point Mr.. Giraud, as a
surveyor, engineer and with some knowl-
edge of astronomy. thinks there is no dis
crepancy In the statements OF the secre-
tary Of Interior; that at about the eighty
first mile post Of the l0Oth meridian, the
new line as established is about 100 rect
east OF the jones & Brown survey at that
point He thinks there can DE no sort or
doubt that II the new line We're to be
adopted Texas would gain a quadrllateral
having 3690 ITO on it's south line az
initial monument and about 1000 feet on
its north line at the hftieth mile post And
In addition, a rectangle from the hftieth TO
the elghty-frst mile post, and possibly to
the parallel Of 80 degrees 80 minutes the
north boundary of Texas, should the Clark
line run true north from the eighty.iirst
mile post, as Judge Rogan states, which
would be about 1000 feet wide.
Mr. Giraud has a vast amount OF per
sonal knowledge and quite fund of facts
ON the subject, and thinks Texas Is In no
danger of losing any territory in the anal
adjustment of the dispute.

his home being in woonsocket today re-
fused an offer of a salary OF 5000 a year
for three years. made him by an agent
Of the New York National league club.
In pursuance of the decision OF the
National league at fits meeting in New
York 10 make a raid on the American
league and induce it's star players TO de-
sert that organization, an agent of the
New York club visited Philadelphia and
made the above offer TO Lajole. The
player positively refused TO entertain any
proposition coming from the National
league.
Manager Connie Mack said that he
knew nothing personally Of the attempt
on the part OF the National league mana
gers 10 induce his players 10 desert. He
said he has had the assurance of every
member OF his team that they will live
up 10 the terms OF their contracts and
that he is not worrying in the least about
the affair
Two or three OF the magnates were
asked concerning the reported slO00 900 fund
that had been raised for the purpose of
fighting the American league. While they
would not admit that this was the amount
of the fund. they would not deny that
such fund had been raised, or rather
pledged. The magnates. with the excep-
ton OF Robinson and Dreyfuss. have left
for home. They are all highly delighted
with the manner in which the peace con-
ference ended.

Louis. For the first time in many years
the western clubs will not play in the
east on Decoration Day. the reason being
that a conflict with the American league
on that day i'm Boston and Philadelphia
was deemed inadvisable. Boston plays In
Brooklyn on Decoration Day, Philade-
phia in New York. Chicago in Pittsburg
and Cincinnati i'm st. Louis. peculiar
feature is that the championship race
will begin I'm New York and Brooklyn on
the same day, April IL, the Philadelphias
playing at the Polo grounds and the
Bostons at Washington park. On July

and New York in St Louis. On Labor
Day CINCINNATI plays in Boston, IlttSburg
in Brooklyn, Chicago i'm Philadelphia and
New York in St Louis The schedule
has been so manipulated that Pittsburg
will have IL Saturdays at home, four
more than any other club.

FOR A S~ANITARIUM.
Hot Springs Project Meets Favor
in Washington, ID. c.

The house committee ON military
affairs gave a hearing Tuesday to Rep
resentatiyes Burke and Martin on the
bill introduced by the former providing
for the construction of a s%anitarium for
soldiers at Hot Springs, S. D.. The bill
a~ppropriates $3.50, 900 for the purpose.
The South Dakota representatives made
a strong showing for the measure.
They called attention to the fact that it
has the Endorsement of the 6. A. r.,
that it has passed the senate several
times, and was reported favorably to
the house in the last congress. The
committee is undoubtedly in favor of
the bill and a favorable report is conf
IDENTIFY expected.

Well, counting is over at last and it Is
rather hard getting settled down to the
daily routine of life again.
What a difference a few years make
in the likes and dislikes of an individ-
uaI! 1t seems only a little while since
nothing afforded me greater pleasure
than a few hours counting nearly every
week, but now one session a year is
plenty enough.
But soberly, / did have a good time
greeting the old boys and looking into
the faces of friends of long ago; yet
there was a thread of sadness running
| through it all as l noticed a little more
| silver in the hair-a few more wrinkles
upon the brow.
But, boys, some of us are nearly
through with our parts in the great
drama of life. Soon the great Manager

lights. Let us 50 conduct ourselves

A little incident at the pleasant home
of Matt Tracy and his estimable family,
where my wife and / visited one even
ing, afforded us a hearty laugh. You
know / wear quite a long heavy beard
and that on the top of my head my hair
is very thin-to speak plainly, | am
quite bald. They have a bright little
boy-a regular chip eff the old block
about four years old. l soon made
friends with him and he was sit
ting on my lap and we were having a
nice little frolic. In the mean time
he had been feeling of the top of my
head and stroking my whiskers, when
all at one he surprised us all by saying.
"Grandpa! Did you cut the hair off OF
the top of your head and stick it on
your chin?"
Well, death entered our community
in my absence aid took away a lovely
little baby boy about ten months old,
the son of Neri Skoe and wife. Its
father was a juror in court and was
summoned home to see his loved one
pass away. Loaned only a little while,
and God wanted him to fill some place

And now we've got-not the small
pox but-the measles in p%rofusion.

United States to the credit of the Sioux
Indians of the Greek agency, for the

funds in question are interest bearing

COUNTY COMMITTEE KICKS on
CHAIRMAN BROWN.

Think His Construction of Primary
Rules with Regard TO Ballots En-
tireIy Too LiberaI-The state House
Boosters Want TO Have Their
Tickets All Scratched and Fixed
Up Ahead of Time-Under the Rich
mond Committees Rules This Cam
not BE Done.
Augusta, June 3.-The Richmond
county Executive Committee is inaug-
urating revolution against the ruling of
the State Executive Committee, or, if
this be not an accurate statement, it's
compliance with the ruling of Chair
man Brown is of a character that neg
atives the chairmans ruling
The Richmond county committee
provided for a primary on the same
day with the state primary but in adj
dition to adopting the form of the Of
fetal state ballot prescribed that it
should be printed on a peculiar style
of paper, and that no ballots would be
distributed until the polls open.
Now some of the State House Off
GERS have sent out official ballots, and
friends of some of those on the state
ticket have official ballots that are not
printed on this peculiar paper selected
by the county committee. They want
to get their ballots scratched and ready
for distribution and not wait for the,
handing out of ballots after the polls
open as ordered by the county COM
mittee.
Yesterday Chairman Brown ruled on
this matter that any additional re-
strictions on the ballot to those i'm
posed by the State Committee for the
state primary would be in violation
of the rules of the State Committee,
and the throwing out of a ballot that
conformed to the requirements of the
State Committee because it was not
printed on a particular style OF paper
agreed on by the County Committee
or had been distributed in advance of
the opening of the polls might endan-
ger the vote of the county in the State
Convention.
The County Executive Committee
met to-day to consider Chairman
Browns ruling and resolved that:
And ballot which is in the form
prescribed by the State Committee
shall be received and counted for state
officials, but no ballot will be counted
for county officers, senator or legisla-
tors except the official ballot furnished
by the County Executive Committee"
VIII seek OOmprOnIse IO-day.
Everybody is talking about the con-
f1ct between the State and County
Executive Committee tonight and the
politicians are badly divided over it. A
meeting of the County Executive Com
mittee will be held tomorrow morning
before which friends of the state COM
mittee will go and try to effect an am
icable probably the adop-
tion of the ticket printed by the County
Committee, but the distribution of them
to candidates tomorrow afternoon
without waiting for the opening of the
polls on Thursday.
Whether this can be effected cannot
before told as members of the County
Committee are protesting against the
interference of the State Committee.

of the State Committee to run the
