of Mr.. Collins will sincerely sympa-
Ehizc with him in the loss Of his
Brother. a copy Of a Watertown,
Nis., paper received by The Republic
San contains the announcement of
che death Of Mr.. Collins's brother:
--Death at all times is sad, but it is
particularly so when it removes from
tie home and the community one
vino is almost ldoliZed, not only by
the members Of the home circle, but
by the community at large as well,
and when death claims such a victim

TAE CHANGE IN AUDITORS
0. d. Stearns is Installed in the Po-
sition and H. B. Anderson is
the Deputy.
the Deputy

Tuesrday o. d. Stearns assumed
the duties Of the position OF county
auditor, his bond having been APP
proved by the commissioners. Mr..
Stearns was elected in November, but
under the law he could not take his
position until the first Monday in
March. The law in this respect has
been changed by The present legisla-
ture and in the future all the county
officers will take their positions at
the beginning OF the year. Mr..
Stearns has had considerable expert
nnce in Official work in the county,
having been the deputy in the treas
urer's office and is quite well ac-
Iquainted with the duties in the aud
office.
Mr.. Stearns has appointed H. B.
Anderson as his deputy. MI. Ander-
son is the retiring auditor and for
four years he has given the very best
Of satisfaction to the public. On TAX
Ing the position four years ago he was
not familiar with its duties, but he
set to work with a determination to
master the ~intricacies of the position
and how we'll he has kept up the work
OF the office the public is more or less
familiar with. The hours were none
too long for him to keep abreast with
the work, and many a night it has
taken until midnight for him to keep
up with the large amount of business
that accumulates in the auditors
office. He has been very obliging and
attended to the wants of the people
who called at his office for informal
tion in a manner that tas made him
very popular with the public. There
is an immense amount of work in the
Office and very often requires the as
%sistance of a deputy, but Mr.. Ander-
son managed the greater share Of the
work alone. His retention in the
auditors Office will be Of great help
to Mr.. Stearns, who realizes that
there is more work than one man can
do without ini1ring his health to
some extent.

Brakeman Ramp Killed In the Iron
Mountain Yards.

H.. l.. Rapp, whose home was Chicago,
where he had father and sister living,
for the past six weeks brakeman on
the west end Of the Iron Mountain, WAS
killed just east of the old Frisco depot
site last Monday morning by being run
over.
Rapp, who was head brakeman on
Conductor Wilbur Marshal's crew,
was standing on the front end of the
first car back of the engine AS Mr..
Marshal's train was pulling ont for the
west at a IN. Monday. At the point
mentioned the engine broke lose, which
caused tine brakes to set by emitting the
air, and the momentum threw Rapp off
the car onto the track, striking on his
face. The train had enough momentum
to carry 1t more than cars length and
the car on which he had been standing
ran over the unfortunate man crushing
his legs nearly to the knees and also at
the hips. He was seen TO fall and his
fellow trainmen Immediately ran to his
aid but after being taken out he never
spoke and lived only few minutes.
His remains were taken to Hunt s
undertaking establishment and his
relatives notified.

Missouri Pacific Intention Revealed.

Missouri Pacific Intention Revealed.
From the Fort Smith Times
The purpose for which the Goulds are
building the Suburban has been mys-
terry All sorts of reasons have beer given
and it has been generally supposed that
the Goulds simply desired to control the
north portion of the city as the Frisco
does the southern. There was rumors
and denials 10 the effect that the Mo.
Pacific intended to cross 10 this side of
the river on a new bridge Mt Van Buren
and make time with the Frisco 10 this
city. 1t now develops that the surmises
which appeared in The Times were cor
rect. 1t is the intention Of the Mo Pacific
to cross at Van Buren, TO this side Of the
river. The track will be laid from that
bridge TO the Suburban terminals and the
Suburban road will extend to Muldrow.
shortening the distance between Van
Buren, and Muldrow, something over IS
miles. The track via Cherokee junction
will be taken up and that route absnd-
oned. Gen Mgr Harding and Mgr.
Cotter will pass through the city within
the next few days going ovor the pro-
posed new line. The contract for laying
the track from the Suburban yards to the
proposed bridge at Van Buren, has al
ready been awarded and to Ft Smith
man. This statement is made authori.
tatively and coming events will verify it.

After very careful investigation of
the books of our treasurer, j. S. Gram.

in his hands.
We find our sheriff s, ia. Pitcock 8 ,
accounts correct in every way, having
all his receipts from both the state and
county.
After careful investigation of our
efficient circuit clerk, D. w. Moore
Jr., we find his entire accounts to bal.
ance, and take pleasure of reporting
the same in the accounts of our able
county clerk, R. B, Winfrey. In the
matter Of township constables, we found
five constsbles in errors of small
amounts and after having summons
served upon them, they promptly ap-
peared and made final settlements.
We would further report to your
Honor that at the October term of the
quorum court, 1902, a tax was levied for
the building of Alma and Rudy bridges
and the sheriff collected for this purpose
in county warrants the sum of 81 1857. 20
and paid same into our county treasury
for that specific purpose. We find that
in the July term of 1903 our county and
probate judge, A, T, Gross, took the
entire amount of said scrip and Cancelled
same without applying it to the pur.
pose for which it was collected.
In conclusion we tender our sincere
thanks to our county officials for their
kindness and courtesy towards us dur
