now still continues.

The snow still continues. E. F. Wright made a business trip to Robinson last Friday.
 Goo-Goo went to Blewford Sat urday. It is very lively place, but not so much as Harmon be- cause there are not so many loaf CTS.
 Arve Thompson, who has been accustomed to spend the Sunday evenings near Blewford, did not make his usual trip last Sunday. During this snowy weather he has caught a death of damp ness which terminated in the grip.
 Ferrel Roper made a business trip over on Osage last Friday, and returned Saturday.
 Captain Brown has been laid up with a severe attack of grip, so his army has not done very much lately toward dislodging the cotton-tails. But George Bement recruited a small force and has done some lively skirm- ishing around the outposts of the rabbit intrenchments. But look out when the captain recuperates his health and gets on new supply of ammunition and gets his army mustered out into active ser vice again. The poor "rab" will be made to cry out "what shall 1 do to inherit the apple orchard?'
 Arve Thompson has not mar ried yet as some one predicted some time ago. We don't know why for Arve has had his house keeping supplies laid in for some time.
 Marion Bement is figuring on taking trip to the territory if he can devise means of escaping those dreadful chills there.
 Several of our young men in this community whom the girls failed to land last year are pre- pairing to try their luck in the far west this spring. Goo-Goo wishes them good luck and suc- cess for we have enough old bachelors in this part already.
 If all of Uncle Sam's mail car riers were as prompt as the one which carries from Harmon to Wheeler there would be less trouble and expense to the gov- ernment. When c. H. Thomp- son IS not ready to start on the route promptly at 11:30 you may know that there IS something ser iously wrong.
 It has been argued by some superstitious people that to turn a snow under was equal to a 1 heavy coat of manure. The ground being frozen till fellow couldn't blow, J. N. Lock has been try ing the experiment by hauling

manure and covering up the snow. If 1t proves to be a sue cess Arkansas will have the cheapest fertilizer yet discovered. Since Ferrel Roper has gone into the milling business he wants to sell his famous old fox hound. Although he has never seen a fox yet he IS called the old fox hound because he resembles a fox Tn makeup.
 Charley Beasley returned from Prairie Grove with the greatest rabbit slaughtering report of the season. He reports 2,500 killed around that town since the snow began.
 There IS considerable talk of the business men of Harmon put ting in a set of Fairbank scales. We notice Bill West, who lives in the Woodlawn district has returned home from a pro- tracted visit in Kansas. When Bill left last fall he said he would not come back until he found him a woman. We have not heard whether Bill succeeded in his intentions or not, but there's one thing certain, Bill went away in buggy and re- turned on sled.
 June Sullivan sold his cattle last week to T. M. Draper. l 1 don't know what June will invest in next but understand lie has quit the cattle business.
 Sam Henson seems to enjoy going to Wild Cat Sundays.
 That goose-bone prognosticator and the ground hog must have gone into partnership to fool the people trip this winter. One says we will have fair weather and the other swears winter IS broke. If 1t has we are getting the cold end 1t.
 The cold and disagreeable weather has caused the singing at Harmon to go dead. If 1t don't clear up pretty soon we will have te send for Prof Ham by to get our old mouth organs back in tune.
 There Is no use to be complain ing about wet and cold weather for next summer 1t will be bal anced up with dry and hot weather. But I would like to see this snow melt away.

and more particularly, if one has
not the ready calendar that 50 many
enterprising business firms of the
CITY send out. he would think that
a long time off, but it is really but
little over a week. And the idea is
that the school boy. and the school
girl, too, should make the best of it.
Be boys! Be girls The teacher
can be so all the remainder-ef the
year. and for all time. if he or she
wants to be. but the boys and girls

her imprisonment Not long ago
President Roosevelt pardoned fe-
male criminal on the delicate condi-
ton grounds, and it is up to the Gov
Iernor to prove himself as great a
patriot. Roosevelt said no Ameri-
can citizen should be born in prison,

good reason why Governor Dawson
should not follow suit. Some may
say that such ought not to be the
action of the Governor owing to the
crime of the woman, but it must be
admitted that the offspring is not

Governor should refuse, her attor-
nev ought TO know what to do, If the
President has been correctly report

POLICE COURT

There was no session of court this
morning. All the regulars have
quit or else they are getting too foxy
to get pinched. Perhaps they are
only working up 4 thirst for the
holidays. Xmas comes but once
Il year. but police court comes every
day. While il sounds rather strange
to hear man knocking his own
business. we wish that our clientele
wouldn't make Nmas such day of
good cheer. that they will finish up
the celebration by landing before
us. As we said before we hold
court every day, so pick ont one of
the other 364 to make our
acquaintance.

booze business on Nmas or any other
timc-buts say. on the quiet, have you
got good receipt for egg-nog?

Less than a week ago the News
was denounoing the county court
berating that body for ali there was
in it, Notwithstanding the fact that
hit body had taken but little, If
..tion. at that time in the re-
Scnt matter But now thar
mes autwith the announce
t the court has gone into
Wing process, and that the
Ehagrant wrongs were so apparent
that the honorable body couldn't do
otherwise The fact of the bust
ness is the News has not taken the
trouble TO tell what has been done
The day it announces that the shay
ing process has been gone into. it is
published that forty-ifve or fifty of
the petitions for reduction have been
rejected by the court. If the News
knows this, it accepts the fact that
Tx assessors were right and that ac-
ceptance is shown by its own declard-
lion endorsing the action of the
court and praising that body for
what it has done. In this connec-
-~tion it is proper to state that what
esaaal reductions have been made,
and they are few at that, have been
ON buildings and not on land or
lots, and the assessors have not OBJ
iected in the least. In some IN
stances they have actually advised 1T.
In other intances the owners them
selves are responsible, owing to the
information they gave the assessors
at the time the valuations were
taken. The county court wants to
do the right thing and will so far
as It IS in acknowledge and power,
and, there is no question about II.
The Telegram does not believe there
IS a single naember Of the court who
dos not Wat justice done between
man and man, nor Is there anything
to convince it that tho assessors do
mot desire the same thing. From
the Telagrlm's observation it does
not hesitate to say that the court
and the assessors are pretty well
agreed on the business that comes
before the court as reviewing
board and that both the court and
the assessors want justice done to
every taxpayer and are earnestly
aiming at that. The great trouble
wjth the News. and il is culpable
fault. is that it does not get in touch
with the court or its proceedings
and does not make even an attempt
To report the proceedings of the
: court in an accurate manner. And
1T is questionable whether it could
report tltam in an intelligent man
ner, if it were disposed to report
them at all.

The salliest idea yet advanced is
that the "busting" of a national
bank is another evidence of Repnb-
lican fake prosperity. Such Hog
icaI declarations lead to the con-
clusion that the fact that the DEM
ocratic party Is down and out
is responsible for the existence of
the thousands of national banks that
are growing all the time. 1t has
come TO the point where some Dem
ocratic editors appear to have lost
all the sense they ever had, if any
they have had.

and add to its reputation for thorough
ness in the care OF a most helpless and
needy class of it's population. The two
buildings are already erected, each
capable of caring for about fifty pa
tients. The basement floor is used for
heating and ventilating, which is so
arranged that the building may be
kept at an even temperature with per-
fectly fresh air night and day. Each
of the two floors above the basement
are entered from the outside, and have
no direct connection with each other,
except through an outside vestibule.
BY means of folding doors across the
wide, roomy hall on each floor separ-
ate apartments, entirely distinct from
each other may be secured, each of
which has wide, sunny ward or sit
ting room, a dining room, lavatory,
and small bedrooms. providing accom-
modations for about dozen persons.
No detail for the care, nursing and
most skillful treatment for each pa
tient seems to be lacking. 1t was no.
ticed that the bath tubs, for example,
were some seven feet long, an unusual
length, so that patients could have am
pie room. This is an illustration of
the minute attention to details which
in the aggregate has large influence in
the care of such patients as those in
this hospital. The office is located in
a separate building, adjacent to which
is a building containing the laundry.
kitchen and machinery for pumping
water into the buildings, all of which
is up to date and fully equipped to do
thorough work. At present there are
about 100 patients in the institution,
very nearly equally divided among the
sexes, They are mostly convalescents,
many of them having been transferred
from this class of patients at Middle
town. Although the institution has
been open but a few months, the effect
of personal treatment with special ref
erence to the need of each individual
case, under the most improved meth

tianal appropriations to make further
progress upon the original plans is be-
fore the legislature. The appropriation
already granted by the state has GER
tainly been most wisely and economic
ally expended, If the representative Of
the Journal and Courier were to judge.
This years appropriation of four to five
thousand dollars will put up additional
