PERDICARIS ALIVE
Or RaisuIi Dead Is Our UItimatum to
MOROCCO.


Washington, June ga cablegram
was received today by Secretary Hay
through the navy department and
Admiral Chadwick from Consul Gum
mere at Tangier, relative to the Perdi-
carts negotiations. This indicates that
satisfactory progress is not being
made. and it is intimated that the
good faith of the Moorish government
is being called into question by our
negotiators. In response to their ap-
plication for further instructions, Sec
rotary Hay has told them that they
must adhere strictly to their original
instructions; that they must not in
any way become involved in guaran-
tees or otherwise with other nations,
and that they must not land marines
or sailors without specific instructions
from Washington, and finally that
they must demand from the Moorish
government either Perdicaris alive or
Raisuli dead.

SOME QUEER TAX FACTS.
Nearly 1000 Sheep and 46 Goats in
Shawnee County.

The tax assessors returns show
some statistics of Shawnee county
which may seem a little strange.
For instance there are 1851 sheep
in the county. If you have driven
in the country how many have you
happened to see? Sheep are not
usual sight and where these 1851
sheep keep themselves is a mystery.
There are 46 goats in the county, not
including lodge goats. One of them
is at Col Hank" Lindsay's livery
barn when it isn't chasing people to
places of safety in the court house

turns, Outnum Der the wagons. There
are 1898 wagons reported and 1857

low. There are more wagons than
Some people forgot to mention the
ones they own. A total of 1900 gold
watches are reported and 215 silver
watches. There are close to 49, 900
voters in the county. How many vOt-

do not own a watch Will they num-

least quiescent- Saturday sees the dedica-
