BOND OF TREASURER is RAISED
County Board Fixes IL at Quarter of n
Million.


County Board Fixes at Quarter of n
Million.
In fixing the bonds Of the newly elected
county officers the Board OF Supervisors
yesterday decided to raise that OF the
county treasurer from $4,000 to s25O,O0O
The reason given Is that the county treas
urcr probably will handle next year ap-
proximately 100000 Of drainage ditch funds,
in addition to the regular tax collections.
The bonds Of township clerks were raised
from $1,000 20 $500, although the board
.hesitated for some time before deciding
on this fearing that there might be some
difficulty IN securing men to serve. The
Cbonds Of the other principal county officers
were left as before, namely: Auditor, &c.,
COO attorney. 5000; clerk OF district court,
so. 900; recorder, $4,000; sheriff, $4,000 sur
veyor $1,000.
For some time there has been a question
as to what compensation township clerks
were entitled to- The twentieth general
assembly enacted Law providing that they
receive 2 per cent Of all moneys which
passed through their hands. In 1897 the re-
vlsed code provided they should receive 5
per cent on all moneys coming into their
hands not otherwise. provided for" The
supervisors held that the law already pro-
NlQeu lOI : per cent ana the CleTRS talleu
to receive any more Now the last general
| assembly repealed the act Of the twentieth
assembly and in an opinion County Attor-
ney Hess yesterday held that the clerks
were entitled to per cent and the board
so ruled. r-
! As but few of the clerks handle more than
| $l.50O road money a year, il will be seen
, that their compensation is limited. In addi-
/ ton TO the per cent on moneys handled
they receive 81 per diem for attending meet
.ings of the township board and this prob
ably brings them In from so to s12 more.
! The supervisors adjourned to meet Mon
4 day as a drainage board TO take UP matters
Iin connection with the Pigeon creek ditch.
Tuesday they VIII meet in Joint session
with the supervisors Of Harrison county
as a drainage board to consider matters in
connection with the Harrison Pottawat-
ftamie county drainage bitches, and Wednes-

Drainage Law Defective.

In view of the fact that an opin-
ion has emanated from the attor-
ney generals Office that the drain
age law is lacking in some essential
points, it might be well for those
interested i'll the matter Of drain
age to request Governor Lanham
to embody in his call for a special
session of the legislature, as one of
the objects OF the session, the cor
rection of the drainage law. Speak
ing of the matter the Houston Post
says:
Assistant Attorney General Low
eriug has written an opinion i'll
which he holds the drainage law
enacted by the last Legislature to
be invalid and consequently inoper-
alive. The chief weakness of the
act, we gather from the opinion, IS
that it fails to provide for the cleo
ton of drainage district trustees,
but there are other defects of a Sc
rious nature. While. of course, the
opinion of the Assistant Attorney
General does not render the act
void per Sc, it makes it clear that
the Attorney General 5 Department
can not approve bonds issued I'M
der the act and, this being so, the
law is practically null and void.
The drainage law is essential to
the development of vast area in
Texas which, under favorable con-
ditions would be the most produc-
tive region of the State. It's fact
that many localities have been pre-
pairing to reclaim large tracts OF
land under the terms OF the act.
In order that the progress of the
fertile valleys and the fat coast
region may be promoted, it IS nee
essary that the defects in the law
be corrected at the first opportuni-

In the early time, when Jupiter

told Jupe that she would like to
have a little conversation with him.
Well, what's up now?' asked
Jupiter, as he squinted along a
fresh thunderbolt, to see if the
shaft was right.
1t is this way, said the wasp,

waist, I think I can say without
boasting that none of the birds or
insects lay it over me in the mat

self, I ought to be the leader of the

TIE Laredo times believes. the
people of Texas will stand with
their representatives in congress in
their opposition to federal control
of quarantine matters. There are
already too many entertainments
on the power aud rights of the
states and this quarantine propo-
sition, while not 50 serious within
itself, will establish a dangerous
precedent. The tendency of the
time IS toward Capitalization of
power in tie federal government.
It is an experience through which
all peoples have had to pass and
more republics have been wrecked
upon this rock in the past than
upon any other obstacle. The un-
deriving principle of democracy IS
the freedom and power of the
state as opposed to the freedom
and power of the federal govern
ment over that of the states and
the Texas representatives, were ad-
herring to the principles of true
democracy in the stand they took
in this behalf "

Why, certainly, madam,
said the manager, filing up a glass
from the water cooler.
Two minutes later she was
back ii the Office again.
I don't like to trouble you
she said, but could I get another
glass of water?'
No trouble at all, madam,
said the manager, handing her
another glass.
Two minutes later she appeared
again.
" Certainly, madam, said the
afable manager, but could I en-

PUNISHMENT OF BIG THIEVES.
Nipple and Stensland as Examples OF
Relentless Justice.

The orators are exercised greatly
over the magnitude of the thefts re-
Gently uncovered in ChivagO and in
Philadelphia in the Stensland and Hip
pie bank lOOtings. Had Nipple or
Stensland stolen dollar, they would
be disgraced and imprisoned. But they
stole perhaps millions. 1t doesn't pay
to be little thief the moralizing
runs. This would be mighty bad If
true. The little thief finds his lot cast
in hard ways. Punishment is usually
visited upon his head in overwhelming
proportions. The little thief is leper,
an outcast. Society sits upon his neck
like yoke. For him there is no atone
ment. All that they say about the lit
tie thief and his swift punishment is
true. 1t doesn't pay to be little thief.
But while the man who steals a dol
lar languishes in Jail for months, does
II appear in any particular to be bet
ter to be a big thief? Nipple blew out
his brains in anguish. Stensland fed
before society across a continent and
two seas an plunged feverishly and
unconsoled into darkest Africa.
Where is the dollar thief VINO would
exchange places with either of these
milliOn-dOllar thieves? II does not ap-
pear, that society is willing to en-
brace and forgive the big thief. much
less to exalt and admire him. 1t does
not appear that he can hold his head
up again and be received by his fell
low men again with unquestioning
eyes. 1t is not always that either the
big thief or the little thief is found
out, nor is it always that when found
out they are melted their due reward;

of the tunnels, T. +. LOwery, of the
LOwery Engineering company, has re-
turned to the city, having secured the
contract for machinery which will &C.
cupy his time for the next few months
in installing.
Mr.. Lowery obtained from Donald
Grant & Co., contract for furnishing
four six-hOrse power gasoline engines
which will be used to operate four
dynamos of As 16-candle power light
capacity each, which will be used in
lighting up the tunnels as work pro-
crosses. One of these lighting outfits
will be located at each end Of the two
tunnels which boring work is now
about to commence.
The Surprise creek tunnel will be
| 1926 feet in length and the Willow
creek tunnel will be 1000 feet in
length. Mr.. Lowery also took the con
tract for furnishing the blowing ap
paratus, which will carry the smoke
of the blasting out of the tunnels and
will provide fresh air for the work
men.
A nine inch fan will be located at
each of the entl ances to the two tun
nels and will be operated by Az
horse power gasoline engine. The all
will be carried into the tunnels from
the fans by means of 10-inch pipes.
Four of the engines will be shipped
from this city at once, and the balance
OF the machinery has been ordered and
viii be ready for delivery within sc
days. 1t is expected that the equipment
at the Willow creek tunnel will be in
place in between four and six weeks
and that for the Surprise creek tun-
mel will be placed later.

This engine started out from ar
