100000. No man ought to own $780,
100000. This is all very pleasing to
those of us who are still somewhat shy
of the 500, 100000 mark, but how much
ought man own? This Is getting
down where some of US have cause fer
alarm.
When that 100000 bill for police

RAN DOWN THE WICKLIFFS
A Fight Between the Outlaws
and Indians.

Muskogee, I. T., May 13,-Chiei
Red Bird with q posse oieight Indians
has captured the Wickliif gang oil
murderers and thieves in the Cherokee
hills. A fight followed but the result
Is not known.
The Wickliffs murdered two deputy
United States msrshals, Gilstrap and
Vier, several months ago. White
posses were unable to loscte them in
the wild country to which they fed.
The Indians who live In the Cherokee
hills were friendly to the murderers
and had given them shelter and food
-whf.g refusing them to the officers.
When Red Bird offered to take eight
Indians and 60 out and get the
Wickliffs, government officials were
at first loathe to grant him the CON-
mission. They feared that the plan
was q ruse Of the Wiollifs to give
them time for fight. Finally, how
ever, Red Birds offer was .acceptsd.
This IL the first that has been heard
Of him In some weeks.

Drainage Ideas.

Three iourths OF the benefited acre

A county court wish q desire to do

The benefited acreage now oppos.
ing the improvement Is less than
100 OF f.
Why this decrease In opposition?
Information and investigation.
Nothing more.
Why would person outside the
benefited district oppose this great
improvement?
Why wouldn't any progressive and
far seeing citizen give IL every en-.
couragement possible?
The present assessed valuation OF
Bates County is, In round numbers,
$40, 600, 600, 90.
With no other Increase In this val.
uation, than from the growth OF
value OF the land In this drainage
district, within the next 3 or 8 years
this assessed valuation will be $l1,-
900, 10000.
That means the person who now
pays 800 state, county and school
taxes will only pay 800 5 or 6 years
hence il no more revanue Is required
to ron our county then than now.
The entire cost Of this construction
comes of the drainage district, cost
OF bridges included.
The TACT that there has been so
much misiniormation as to the La.
bility OF the county in this matter
we desire to quote from the law.
Lines 25 to 30 section S29S, page
1873 Of laws OF 1905 are as follows.
"All costs, except OF construction
and collection Of delinquent assess.
ments or installments and except
those taxable to the petitioners,
demonstrators or APPELLANTS, sh al
be paid out OF the county treasury,
and be refunded to the county out
OF the frst money received upon as.
easements or from sales OF lands
issued under the, provisions OF this
article"
Again the last lines section 1901
page 1S9. "The said installments o.
said assessments and the interest
thereon shall be applied to the pay
ment Of the bonds, principal and In
terest, issued pursuant to this article
and except az herein provided, to nc
other purpose, and the payment o

Posthumous Libel.

A correspondent of the London Times
raises the point that, while libel upon
a dead man may form the subject of a
criminal prosecution, yet there is no
redress whatever for libel by the dead
upon the living. Thus testator may
so phrase his will as to libel legatee
and injure him to an extent far in ex-
cess of his legacy. The writer cites as
an illustration the following bequest
from an ardent teetotaler to moderate
drinker: Il give and bequeath to A. B.
the sum of ESQ upon condition that she
signs the pledge" Such a condition in
serted in a will. he believes, might do
the lady legatee an amount of damage
for which ESQ would be but poor com
pensation, and he submits that in cases
of posthumous libel the executors
should be answerable in damages to the
extent of the testator's estate.-Law

Many strange dishes were eaten by
Dean auckland, the English clergyman
and geologist. At his dinner parties,
which were attended by leaders of sci
ence and literature, the menus were
often Of most eccentric character. On
one occasion picked horse tongue was
greatly relished by the guests until
they were told what they had eaten.
Alligator was served up as a rare deli
cacy and puppies occasionally and
mice frequently. At other times hedge.
hogs, tortoises, potted ostrich and
sometimes rats, frogs and snails were
prepared for the delectation Of favor
ed guests. Henry Labouchere said that
the dean swallowed the mummified re-
mains of the heart of Louis XIV. Of
France
