MARloN,s eooD RECORD,

The visit Of the state Board Of Pub
lie Works and the investigation Of the
work Of Land Commissioner Lehman
and his able assistants, bring out the
TACT in clearer light that the Marion
county assessment was one Of the
best in the state. Very few complaints
have been fled and those were not Of
very great consequence. That the
commissioners used good Judgment
and we're strictly honest and conscien-
aous In every assessment, has never
been questioned and that the work was
done in a thoroughly business like
wayisshown by the records. Nothing
but words Of praise has been express
ed by the board over the conditions IN
Marion. county. They expressed ahigh
appreciation of tie thoroughness and
completeness Of Marion county's as
.sessInent.

MR.. sARNEs,s LETTER.


The open letter Of Mr.. j. 3. Barnes,
Of Pittsburg, addressed to Governor
Dawson, as found on page one Of to,
days paper, shows how outside cap
ttalists feel concerning The railroad
companies policies as regards West
Virginia, 1t Is certainly time our peo'
pie are waking up to the manner in
which our states resources are being
kept undeveloped by the railroad
trusts. We should rally as one man to
the support Of such highmlnded men
as Governor Dawson and help to keep
the corporate interests from holding
the State in the background. Now Is
the time to strike, before the fetters
are any more firmly fastened upon u.s.

come a bone Of contention because 1t
is the understanding that what is done
now may have an effect upon the Pres

An anti Fairbanks orator, &C runs

thinks Is worth telling, got up before

FEAR OF cows is INeRAINEp.
Some Women Persist In Looking Up
on Them as Beasts of Prey.

If 1t ever does come to pass that
buffaloes become the farmers next
friends and do his hauling and draw
ing in more intelligent and salts
factory way than oxen ever did it will
be interesting to know how the wo-
men folk take the change. Not only
the farmers wives and daughters but
the summer boarders within his gates.
Even now many of these ladies can
not be hired to trek through pasture
where the mildest old COW that ever
lived lies under a tree half asleep
chewing her cud. OF course there are
exceptions on both sides. Some cows,
1t is perfectly plain, have no preju-
dices against the sex, even at milking
time, and few women will pick their
way fearlessly through drove of cat
tie. But the ordinary woman, especial.
ly the one who spends but a few
weeks in the country each year, is
persuaded and would persuade all her
friends that cow is an awful beast
of prey and she wouldn't trust herself
in five-acre lot with the best trained
and gentlest specimen that ever lived

STATUS OF THE BACHELOR GIRL
Indicates Progress, Says a Writer In
the Louisville Herald

She is not an evil, indicative of race
suicide. She is statutary step. She
indicates progress. Marshall Field,
twice married, declares that marriage
is a good thing, If one gets the right
woman.
American bachelor girls are apply
ing Mr.. Fields theory, and waiting
for the right one.
In the so-called good old days"
they didn't wait. Hence the seed of
the divorce evil and inferior offspring
the genuine seed Of race suicide.
In those days they married the elig-
ible whom parents selected, or the
substantial one, who offered a good
home, in order to escape the awful
ignominy of becoming an old maid
And then unhappiness.
But things are changing. 1t has
been discovered that a man in her
life Is not, to every woman, an indis-
pensable attachment.
True, the fullest and best, and most
fortunate life Is that in which the
right man Is.
But failing to find the right man a
woman does infinitely better to pad
die her own canoe.-Louisville Her

cradle Cider Barrel.

Flab Shaw's store Is the principal
place to congregate in the little town
of Corinna, Me-, and it Is ct this place
on cold winter evenings that the older
inhabitants get together and spin
yarns, says writer in the Boston
Herald. l remember on one occasion
an unusually large number had
dropped in on their way home from
the postofflce, and were seated around
the large stove, each trying to Guido
the other. Finally Flab spoke up and
said: 81 s'ppose I've got the Oldest
cider barrel in the state of Maine"
Got anything in it," quickly asked
Isaac S.

"Then how do you make out it's the

Flab scratched his head, thought a
minute, then drawled out: wall, it's
the same bunghole, anyway"

A LOCAL BEAU BRUMMEL.

Lake-the word Journalist" is used
advisedly, as he himself admits the
title and he has never been credited
with the name of newspaper MANS
bordering on the question that has
bothered greater minds than his for
centuries.
This question is whether it's better
to be first in Rome or second in
Gaul," or, as it presents itself in this
particular case, whether tits better to
be first in the kitchen or second in the
parlor. This Journalist" who, for
want of better name, might be called
Teddy, does odd jobs around a print
ing Office during the week and occa-
sionally, when his social obligations
will permit, is allowed by his senior
to write society items for the paper
items so scintillating with wit and hui
NOR that he himself admits nothing
of their kind can be found outside of
Town Topics or The Police Gazette.
1t happened that this Beau Brum-
mel, serene in the knowledge that he
had dazzled Salt Lake society until it
had shown signs of being unable to
social graces, sought new worlds to
conquer in a social way by seeking
and obtaining an invitation to attend
a social gathering just outside the
city where the fair suburban maidens
might prove more appreciate of his
exceptional charms.
He came. He saw. He conquered.
Listening ears were ready for the
toll o,,I 1&@,, oNt, hat IfotI A,.e,
had forgotten before he was born and
the way he said, "Tm charmed to know
you," brought a flush of happiness to
more than one fair cheek as introduce
lions were acknowledged. When re-
freshments were served, addressing
the hostess he said Wont you please
pass those interesting looking sand
witches?" he was voted the most
gracious and accomplished converse
tionalist in the social universe.
Needless to say, when the party
broke up he had his choice of the
young women who were to be accom-
panied to the city on the last car.
Everything went well as he brought
the young woman to her home in Salt
Lake until they reached the house,
when she discovered that she had in
her haste taken the key to the back
door instead of the front door key. He
CALAMITY escorted her to the back door
and left, after bidding her a fond
farewell and promising to send her
his photograph--one that showed his
soulful eyes to their best advantage
The photograph was mailed the next
day and proudly shown to the mistress
of the house by the servant who re
ceived 1t. w
do you know him." the mistress
said, and there was just a suspicion
of a smile when the servant told how
perfectly grand" he was at the party
and how he chose her from among
all the girls when he asked to escort
her home.
1t happened that the youth called al
the front door for a social chat witt
the gentleman of the house and his
wife few nights afterwards, either
forgetting his previous call at the
back door or trusting to his nerve ant
good fortune to keep him from meet
ing the servant. 1t was fortune tha
failed him, however, for the greeting
he got was:
81 beg your pardon but I think 20,
have come to the wrong door, JUL;
always receives her company in thu
kitchen and l think she is entertain
ing Mr. Blanks coachman now"

Washington.-The senate on Fri
day passed a bill for the admis-
sion of a new state to be called Okla
homa and to be composed of Okla
homa and Indian Territory. 1t was the
house joint statehood bill with all the
provisions relating to Arizona and
New Mexico stricken out. The mo
ton to strike out was made By Nh
Burrows and was carried by the close
vote of 81 to 80 after having been lost
by the still closer vote of 35 to 3G.
The test vote, upon which the op-
pOnents of joint statehood Shove
their greatest strength, was on the
Foraker amendment which provided
that Arizona and New Mexico shoull
have an opportunity to vote separ-
ately on the proposition of joint state
hood. This was carried by a vote Of
~ to 30.

INDICTED FOR FORGERY.
Three Officials of Life Insurance
Company Are in Trouble.

New York.-Indictments charging
grand larceny in the first degree
and forgery in the third degree by
Frederick A. Burnham, president;
George d. Eldridge, first vice presi-
dent, and George Burnham, jr., second
vice president of the Mutual Reserve
Life Insurance Co., were found by the
grand jury Thursday. In all five in
dictments were brought against each
officer, two for grand larceny and
three for forgery. The alleged larceny
and forgery was brought about, &C
cording to the indictments, by pay
ments of $4,000 of the companys
money to law firms, the apparent pur-
pose of which is alleged to have been
to settle claims against the company,
while the real object is alleged to have
been to settle actions which had been
brought against officers of the com
pany as individuals.
The indictments on which a charge
of larceny is based alleged that the
officers embeZzled two sums, one of
$500 and the other of $1,500 on Oc-
tober "a, 1901.
The three officers appeared in the
court of general sessions, where
Judge O'Sullivan fixed their bail at
$12,5O0 for each and fixed upon next
Thursday as the time for pleading.
