hearty breakfast took a look over
town | saw some very nice sub
stantIal buildings for a town so
young; among others they were just
finishing a $4,000 church for the
NJ. E. Church South as the results of
a young man of the town proposing
to go $50 for every 81 900 the rest
would go. So they pulled him for

fore we got there we heard the train
whistle at town. 1t continued so
long that it aroused our curiosity.
We could see it standing still but
continued to whistle untilit Just died
away so as to make one feel like
something was dead. When we got
back we found there was a wreck.

switch and the passenger going out.

ex-ofhcio county and probate clerk
and recorder 81 500 Sheriff and ex-
officio collector 81. 800.
Carroll County, Circuit clerk ST.

81 500 and in addition thereto feed
ing each prisoner in county Jail each

made a seperate office 5000.

90 cents a day for feeding each pris-
oner confined in the county Jail.
Washington county, County and
Circuit Clerks each $500, Sheriff,
81 800. Collectors office is separate.
The salaries of the Circuit Judges
and Chancelors are $4,000, and
they are required to hold two terms
of court annually in each county and
travel over their circuits twice a
year at their own expense. Their
duties require them to be absent
most of the time from their families
while our clerks and sheriff are at
home We think the act should
have fair trial, and if it proves un
just, or the salaries are too high Oh
too low, then amend it. The act
will result in giving much revenue tc
the county and in reduction oftaxes
Since the passage of the act, revenues
OF the county have increased. We
have many miles of new railroad, to
repeal the act now would put Us
back to the old fee system and in
crease above what it has ever beer
the pay of the sheriff. Let us give il
d trial
Respectfully,
TAXPAYER.

THE Russians are very much de-
pressed over the continued reverses
they are experiencing in the war with
Japan, but 1t does not seem to OCCUR
to them that these reverSes can be
speedily stopped by a cessation OF
the bitter struggle At St Peters
burg Wednesday. during the annual
ceremony of the blessing of the wat
ers in front of the winter palace by
Emperor Nicholas several shots were
fired from across the Neva river and
bullets entered the windows of the
palace. No one was hurt, but the
incident caused much alarm and
shows the under-current of feeling
which the Russian aristocracv has
to hight at home.

IN company with two of Charley
Rosson's boys going home from St.
Louis; we had a good talk all the
way. l changed there over to the
Rock Island depot at Oklahoma City
to hnd | would have to wait over
"a hours for my train, so | looked
over the finest little city to its age
and surroundings l ever saw. The
streets were crowded all day but |
never saw a person | ever knew,
but, all clever to show me anywhere
or explain anything. They claimed
to have SO saloons and NAV be as
many gambling halls with anv 9th
er entertainment yol might want,
from the salvation army on the
street to church in the high steeples
Next morning | made another run
tor Jericho, Texas, all day till after
dark, where | met another son-in-
law and was soon off Tor another
mile and a half to his home on the
plains of Texas. My days travel
from Oklahoma to Jericho was in
the daylight. The whole thing in
that country is cattle and cotton.
Nearly every station was piled with
cotton bales by the hundred. Dur
ing my stay at Jericho | saw the
prairie dogs, and heard the wolves
howl frequently.
After resting a few days l went on
west 10 Amarillo, then to Canyon
City where | visited another daugh,
ter, and had to travel twenty-three
miles the coolest day l had expert,
enced since left home. We drove it
in about three hours 1t was almost
a level plain from Jeff Bailey's, at
Jericho to James Potts. There was
another commodity added to the
cotton and cattle, that was the land
agent. | couldn't say just what pei
cent ofthe population, but there were
plenty of them, all clever and good
fellows but when | got to Canyon
City | noticed a different style o
freightIng. They would have from
two to four wagons lashed together
to one team. | asked what they
gained by that. They said they
saved one driver and they claimed
they could haul thousand pound:
more to the span of horses by hav
ing two wagons to the span. On oul
way to Potts we frequently mel
such trains loaded with cotton bale:
for Canyon City. | saw lots of veg
etables of all kinds and as fine goo
Der peas as ever saw They claim
ed they had cabbage that would
