Message

Thursday, November 80, will
be Thanksgiving Day. Our
house has much to be thankful
for. We began this fall and
winter season determined to ex-
ert the effort OF our lives to
achieve a two-fold anbition:---to
have the most stylish, perfect fit
ting and best tailored clothes the
market affords, and to establish a
record for sales far above pre-
vious seasons. Both OF these
cherished ambitions have been
realized.
By patient, conscientious, per-
severing effort we have succeeded
in getting together the biggest,
brightest and bestline OF clothing,
furnishings and toggery in gen.
eral that has ever beea shown in
Northern Colorado, and hum
dreds OF particular customers
have testified their generous ap-
probation by favoring us so lib
orally with their patronage.
We tender you one and all
our sincere and heartfelt thanks
for the confidence reposed in US,
and here and now renew our
pledge to give the closest atten-
ton to the wants of each and
every customer and give them
the benefit OF the experience ac-
gui1ed during the busy and sue
cessful years Of our chosen pro-
fession.
We wish you and yours a
merry, joyous, long to be reme,n-
bered, old fashioned Thanksgiv-
ing Day.

readers of that paper, the fol
loving problem, an old standby
which is not so easy as it looks
"John Rudge was born Decem-

January 4, 1929. John had S40,-

divided between his son, Obed,
and his daughter Ruth, on the
following terms; For every day
he lived longer than his wife, Obed
should have SIS mora than Ruth

should live longer than himself,
Ruth should have 81. so more than
Obed. John Rudge died Decem-

MORE ABOUT FILIPINOS.
Their Language, as Observed by Charles
Henry Wissner.

Every tribe in the Islands has
It's own language, but as we have
SAID before, the majority of the
languages are but variations of
one old common Malay tongue.
The Spaniards, although they
held the Islands for four centu-
ries, were always averse to teach.
ing the natives Spanish. OF
course, the educated classes who
attended the colleges learned
Spanish, but at no time have these
classes formed a large proportion
of the people of the islands, and
these people were only to be
found in the larger towns and
cities. The ability of a man, liv.
ing in one of the smaller towns
and villages, to talk Spanish, was
always regarded with suspicion
by the authorities. AS long as
the Spanish, who at no time were
very numerous, could prevent
the people from having common
language, they had no fear of a
united effort on the part of the
various tribes to overthrow their
authority. The consequence of
this was that when Aguinaldo's
rebellion broke out, he found him.
self compelled to translate his
proclamatlons into more than 20
different languages or dialects.
The Malay language is easy to
learn, for it has no gender and
nothing that approaches what we
term conjugation. When the stu
dent takes up the study of any
one of the languages, he has first
to divest his mind of any ideas or
rules that he has gathered from
other languages. The most cur
ious thing is the use of the Pas.
sive Voice in the place of the ac.
tive. In a word, a Filipino never
says 81 killed a man," but, "a
man was killed by me-" never 81
went to town." but "the town
was arrived at by me-"
Since the advent of the Ameri-
cans, the natives are rapidly
learning English, and as accord
ing to an edlct of the Civil Com.
missioner, English will take the
place of Spanish in the courts In
1905. Spanish will bean unknown
language before this generation
passes away. The teachers whom
we have sent to the Islands have
been an exceedingly able body of
young men and women, and they
have rot only taught the children
the usual lessons of the schools,
but manners and morality as
well.

FRIGHTENED HORSE.
Wrecks a Wagon on Second Street Last
Saturday Afternoon.

North Second Street was the
scene of an accident last Satur-
day afternoon, which might have
resulted seriously, but which
was only disastrous to the wagon
OF Mr.. Henry Everts, a Todd
township farmer and wood-deal-
er. While returning from town
withan empty wagon, Mr.. Everts'
horse took fright at the spray OF
water from the hose on the lawn
of Geo. b. Daniels, Esq, when a
buggy was being washed, and the
animal became unmanageable to
the driver. For time the spec
tators had much concern for the
safety of Mr.. Everts, as the horse
plunged wildly along from side to
side of the road in his mad efforts
to be at liberty. The giving way
of the harness and the breaking
of the shafts, soon freed the
horse from the wagon, and the
driver was left safe along the
road.
Mr.. Everts was wholly unpre-
pared for such a variety of ex-
periences and his nerves were
ABOUT as badly overwrOught as
those of the horse He imagined
that some one was responsible
for this eccentric behavior on the
part of the animal, and took ex-
ceptions to the method employed
by Mr.. Daniels IN improving the
appearance of his buggy. Mr..
Daniels, who was the innocent
cause of the accident, appreciat-
ed the circumstances, and with
admirable self-poise listened to
the charge and most generously
assumed payment of all expens-
es incurred, by sending the dam
aged wagon to the coach shop for
all necessary repairs.

APRIL BLIZZARD.
Sudden Check to the Delightful
Weather of the Past Six
Weeks.
answer,

"Don't holloa till your out of
the woods" might be applied TO
the weather as well as to many
other things. March was an un-
usually fine month, and April con-
Quoted herself most becomingly up
to last Saturday. Since that time,
she has been on the rampage.
Friday night the mercury took
tumble. and Saturday grew
colder; Sunday morning revealed
ice on standing water, and during
the day, much snow fell, mostly
in blizzardous squalls.
The storm seems to have sudden
ly jumped down off the Rocky
mountains last Wednesday and
struck out at such a furious gait
for the Atlantic ocean as to send
shivers down the backs of the in
habitants of all the States in It's
path which was a wide one.
The weather bureau thinks that
it will pass out onto the Atlantic
ocean by to-day or tomorrow, and
that we may expect seasonable
weather after that time.
There can be no doubt but that
the early fruit has suffered, and
that spring farm work is greatly
retarded.
Snow in April Is not at all unu-
sual, according to the records of
the Weather Bureau. These show
that snow has fallen in fifteen of
the last twenty Aprils. The falls
range from a trace to 3 inches. On
April 5, 1898, 3 inches of snow
fell, and 2 inches are recorded for
April 16, 1888, the year of the
memorable blizzard. An inch and
half of snow fell on April 10-11,
1894.
All the records of the Weather
Bureau, kept since its organlza-
ton, thirty-four years ago, tend
to show that April has always
been more or less of Il freakish
month. Since 1871 hardly an
April has gone by without at least
a slight frost. In that time the
average killing frost has been on.
April 7. The latest killing frost
record occurred on April 20, 1882.
The coolest April in the last thir-
ty-four years was that of 1882,
when the average temperature was
~ degrees. The warmest April
was in 1871, the year the bureau
was organized, when the av-
erage temperature was 81 degrees.
The lowest temperature record
was IS degrees, on April -, 1874,
and the highest was 93 degrees, on
April IS, 1896.

MORE PAY FOR COMMISSIONERS.
Bill Signed By Governor Pennypacker Last
Friday Makes Salary $500,

Among the things that the legls
lature which has just closed did
was to look after interests of the
County Commissioners. A bill
was passed and last Friday sign
ed by the Governor which Will IN
crease the salaries of those Off
GERS in most of the counties of
this state.
The salaries will be as
follows: Counties havin g
a population os 10000 or less,
$500; 10000 ani less than 10000,
$500; 10000 al | less than $4,000,
$500; $4,000 al d less than $4,000,
$1,000; 80, aud less than rs, 900,
$1,000; 700 and less than 115, 900
$500; 115, 900 and less than $780,
900, $500.
This will mean an increase of
salary to Fulton county commits
sioners, which will, according to
the scale, be $500 year.
Prior to the act of 1889 Com
missloners were paid 81 day;
since that time they have been
receiving So 80 day, they, them
selves determining the number
of days that they shall put in du-
ring the year.
Just how much the present
board will receive for their three
years service cannot be given
until the close of the term. Their
predecessors, Messrs. Kelley,
Mallot and Fisher received on an
average, 1884. 91S a year.
If the population of this coun-
ty were what 1t was during the
twenty years prior to the year
1900, our commissioners would
receive $500 a year instead of $500
our population beng, according
to the last census, just "A below
the 10000 mark which would give
us $500.
The population of Fulton coun-
ty was in 1850, 9123; IN 1860, 9131;
in 1870, $3.50; IN 1880, 10, ,149; IN
1890, 10,l37; IN 1900, 1924.
From the foregoing figures ii
will be observed that Fulton
county shows growth in popu-
lation of 801 from 1850 to 1900
90 years. 1t has, however, since
1870 been doing the syrand sliding
act, and there is no telling JUS
when the last iDhabitant of the
county will pull up stakes anc

Road Taxes.

The Saith section of the act of
April IS, 1884, provides "That be-
fore issuing the duplicate and
warrant for the collection of road
taxes, it shall be the duty of the
supervisors of every township to
give notice to all persons rated
for such taxes, by advertisement
or otherwise, to attend at such
times and places as such super.
vlsors may direct, so as to give
such persons full opportunity to
work out their respective taxes.
in the case of the Pennsylvania
Company VS.. Kelly Nuzerne Coun-
ty Legal Register, page 49), it was
affirmed that "before a warrant
can be issued for the collection of
road taxes, the taxpayer must
not only have had notice, but also
full opportunity to work out such
taxes" F."
In the same case it was also af.
firmed that Though notice he
given, if by management, artifice
or trick, the taxpayer, VINO is
ready and willing to respond
thereto, is not accorded full op.
portunlty thereto, Is not accord
ed full opportunity to work out
his taxes, he may appeal to a
county equity to restrain the col
lection of the money"
In Miller VS.. German (3S Penn.
ST., R., 800, it was claimed that
"the opportunity to work out the
taxes is a condition precedent to
the issuing of warrant for their
collection; where they are assign
ed against nonresident, notice
may be given by advertisement,
but the tenants must be permit
ted to work out the taxes If they
offer to do So"
In Childs VS.. Brown township
40 Penna. st. r., 333), it was stat
ed that supervisors can make no
contract the effect of which must
be to deprive the taxpayer of the
privilege to work out his taxes"
The question has been raised
as to the effect of this section up
on our present law which author
ICES the collection of twenty five
per cent. of road taxes IN cash for
the purpose of providing fund
from whichimproved road machin
cry may be paid for, but the opin-
ion seem to prevail tnat the latter
law take, precedence and that
twenty five per cent. of the road
taxes may be collected in cash,
but that it must not be inferred
from this that all of one PERSONS
road tax can be collected in cash
and another be allowed to work
out his tax; if the matter was car
ried to the extreme, we think
that it would be decided that ev.
cry taxpayer in the township
might be compelled to pay one.
fourth of his tax in cash, but that
every one would have the right to
work out the other three.fourths.
We think that practically, the
question will hardly arise, and
usually considerable proportion
of read taxes are paid in cash by
those who do not wish t. work
them out.-Everett Press.

Applause Rather Than Sleep.

On account of the fact that Rev.
William McNally, a pastor of a
Harrlsburgchurch permitted per-
sonsin his congregation to express
their appreciation of the strong
points in his sermon by vigorous
applause, others were so shocked
by the proceeding that they with
drew and placed their mem ber-
ship IN other churches. The trou-
BILE increased until the congrega-
tion was completely disrupted.
At the meeting of presbytery in
Chambersburg last week, Mr..
McNally was dismissed to the
presbytery of Philadelphia. In
speaking with reference to the
applause in his church, Mr.. Nc
Nally said: 81 would rather have
loud clapping than sleeping. If
protest is needed think it should
be applied to the sleepers," Rev
McNally said that for seven years
therehas been peace and harmony
in the church and until a year ago
there were no factional differ,
ences. During bis eight years
pastorate he bad raised $1,000 to-
ward the liquidation of the church
debt.
