A PROBLEM.

Have you ever watched fellow, wher
he's working by the day
How his slow feet move more slowl,
when the boss has gone away,
How hard he tries to save hts hands
by using up his brains.
How the shady spots seem always to be
needing special pains,
How resting spells come often. and how
long he eats at noon,
How late he gets TO working, though
he always quits too soon?
just watch the next one, and youll
find
There's truth In what say,
For he'sworking by the day.--day.--
day
He's-working-by the--day.
Have you ever watched fellow, when
he's working by the job
How his violent gyrasions fairly make
your pulses throb.
How he never stops to whistle and he
never stops to sing.
And no matter how the boys call. he
doesn't hear a thing;
How he gives the ''lick and promise" to
the work he's set to do:
And you think he's scarcely started till.
behold! the fellows through?
There's no doubt the face Of nature
win be marred by many daub,
For he's working by the job, job, job!
He's working by the job,

promise to make matters lively In the
wicked city of Wichita. Mrs. Carrie
Nation and a handful of eccentric fol-

her customary hatchet. while Mrs, Nc
Henry was armed with hammer.
About the time the women had brok.
en- the windows the police put in an
appearance and the four were taken to

offenders, and when hts offer was re.

locked up in cell adjoining that oc-

accordance with the views expressed
IN the opinion rendered at that time.
After the remittitur was sent down
the plaintiff was allowed to file an
amended complaint to which the de-

was overruled and the defendants
failed to answer or make any further
appearance. Proceedings were had
on behalf of the plaintiff and Judge

The county where property is
held at noon on the second Monday
in January is the ''home county,"
In other words, if a resident of Ada
county owns certain sheep which
are in another county OH that date,
the county in which the sheep are in
at that time is the sshome county,"
1t is important that assessors
should examine each piece or parcel
of property assessed by them, but
not necessary in order TO determine
values.
TIMBER SHOULD BE ASSESSED.
Timber purchased from the state
which stands upon lands still be-
longing to the estate should be
assessed at personal property and
may be sold if the taxes are not paid.
This Is another important question,
asssuch timber has not been asses
sed in the last, and the state has
been deprived of considerable re-
venue in consequence.
Migratory stock is subjece to the
special taxes of the counties in which
it js grazed.
If trust company is banking
association or corporation it should
be assessed as provided in section

If not it should be assessed the same

EXPENSES OF OFFICERS.

A county officer is entitled to
board and lodging while away from
home in performance of the official
duties of his office. The amount
necessary to board and lodge him
will ltot be left to the officer him
self, but is Il question for the coun-
ty commissioners to decide. This
is an important question. the SUI
preme court Ill the case of Clyne VS..
Bingham county, Z Idaho, rs, held
that the county officers were not en-
titled to their board and lodging,
but the state legislature has twice
provided that the officers shall re-
ceive such compensation.
Property may be placed ON the
assessment rolls up to midnight on
the last day of the fiscal year. Any
property afterwards discovered to
have been omitted should be placed
on the subsequent roll and assessed
double. This is also new ruling,
it having been the practice of asses
sors to eliminate such property for
the current year. An Indian reserva-
-sion lying within county is part

At Talbotton Ga, in the case OF tho
state against Ed Ship, Seaborn Hall
and rom Butler, the latter recently
arrested by Sheriff Richards, the com
mitment court convened Thursday
morning with Justices W. ]. Raines
and ]. D. Dunbar presiding.
The charge against the accused, all
of whom appeared in court, is assault
with intent to murder.
After consultation the court decided
that the bond for each Of the accused
should be $3.50, the same to be return
able to the next term Of the superior
court. While Colonel Bull, of the de-
tense, did not name any amount for
the bond, he suggested a lower figure.
In opposition Solicitor General Gill
bert stated to the court that the bond
should rather respond to the popular
sentiment against the mob violence so
that it's moral tone should be firm and
resolute and deterrent in its genera!
effect and popular sentiment. Also that
the courts action should impress the
local public as we'll as elsewhere.

Ways-BottIe Failed TO Break
Although successfully launched as
the New York navy yard Thursday, the
battleship Connecticut did not have her
bottle of wine broken by Miss Alice B.
WelIes, who had heen selected as spon-
sor for the ship. She threw the bottle
at the bows as the ship began to move
off the ways but it failed to break
when it struck the side Of the ressel.
Secretary of the Navy Morton and
Rear Admiral Rodgers stood beside
Miss W6lles.
Rear Admiral Rodgers attempted to
grasp the bottle as it rebounded, but
failed, and the ship was moving off into
the water when a workman on the
deck seized the string that held the
bottle and dashed the receptacle
against the side Of the ship, shattering
it to pieces, to the relief of the super
stitious.
This was the only variation of the
prearranged plan, despite the many
sensational stories of attempts to do
the vessel damage. The navy yard was
crowded, it being estimated that al
most thirty thousand people witnessed
the launching.

George Frisbie Hoar, senior United

died at his home in Worcester at 1880

nourishment Brief lucid intervals
were followed by longer durstions OF
unconsciousness until Tuesday morn
ing when the venerable statesman
sank into a state Of coma from which
al, efforts to arouse him proyel futile,
and in which condition he remained
until death interviewed.
George Frisbie Hoar was born aC
Concord. Mass, in 1926. He graduated
at Harvard in 1916, studied law in the
Dane law school, Harvard. and then
opened an Office in Worcester. he
was an ardent member Of the free soil
party, and later Of the republican par
ty, almost from the time Of it's organi-
cation; and in 1852 he was elected one
OF its representatives in the Massa-
chusetts legislature. Though his am
bition at this time WIS for a Legal,
rather than a political career, he was
induced to accept other nominations,
which resulted in his serving in both
branches of the state Legislature ana
in the United States house OF repre-
sentatives, of which he was q mem
Der from 1869 until 1877, when he was
chosen senator by his state.
During his last years in the house
he was member Of the electoral com
mission, chosen in 1875, which decided
that Hayes had been elected president
over Tilden. He presided over the re-
publicali rational convention in 1880,
which nominated Garfield, and thus
ended the bitter contest between Granr
and Blaine. He was always a consist
ent opponent of Imperialism from the
days when he aided Sumner in his op-
position to the annexation of Santo
Domingo; and, though he supported
President Mckinley for reelection, ne
strongly opposed his policy in the Phil
ippines, which he considered subYel-
sive Of American ideals.
During his service in the house, Mr..
Hoar was one of the managers Of the
Belknap impeachment trial, and after
his election to the senate he was chair
man of the committee on the judiciary
and on privileges and elections, and
a member of the committees on engln-
eering bills, civil service and retrench-
ment, library claims, Nicaragua claims
and rules, as well as chairman OF the
select committee on woman suffrage,
and relations with Canada.
