1REA sURER PLANS
IMPROVED OFFICE
CHANGES MEAN OoNvENIENcEs
FOR EMPLOYEES AND TAXPAYER

lie Can Obtain Statements and Re-
ceipts Without Jostle or Delay, and
Clerks Gan Have Better Light-oash

Bids on important changes In the
county treasurer office have been ad-
vertised for by the county commission
ers and before the May rush comes the
office will have assumed the appear
ance Of a modern bank and twill be
possible to handle the business with
much greater ease, correctness and dis
patch. s. -.~rs.5.. - o..
The proposed changes include the
partitioning off of public room thirty
two feet long and twenty-six feet wide
to take the place Of the long, narrow
hall running the entire length Of the
office that at present belongs to the
public. This new room will be tiled
and provided with seats down the cen.
ter. On the south, runnin@ across the
office, will be the paying counter with
two cages, one for the cashier and one
to be used during busy periods for ex-
ira cashiers. On the north will be the
statement counter. -
The north end Of the big office will
be taken up with the metal file cases
and the clerks, desks and rooms. The
south end will have the cages, the
vault and the treasurer g private office.
Means More System. -,
The changes are part of County
Treasurer Henry G.. Hanke's plan of
house-cleaning and Of putting his office
on sound business basis. The best
possible use of the light will be made
for the employees, who are now forced
to sit in their own light when work
ing at the long counter. -, ;, - -
The working rooms will be, shut OH
from. the public which now, is a CON
tinual source Of annoyance to the e, EN-:
ployees of the office. There will be
only two doors opening into the public
room instead of five as at present. :,
The cages will be- shut off entirely
from the public and from the office en-
ployees, with the exception of tbs
cashiers and the treasurer. This vii
make possible the fixing of the entlrf
upon one person, which has never beer
done before. ,
Mr.. Hanke says that with the alter
ations he will be able to systematizt
the work in manner that will greatly
expedite and prevent many errors that
have heretofore been made and have
resulted in much extra work and con
siderable loss.

TIME TO THINK OF TURKEY
Season Comes When Long-LegRed
Fowl should Claim Mems
Attention.

Time now for the commission men and
poultry buyers to begin to think of the
turkey crop. now that the frosts are be-
ginning to clip the leaves from the trees
and human natures turkey appetite is be-
ginning to grow with the arrival of the
juicy red cranberry.
AS to the number of turkeys there are
in the country the poultry men are alb
solutely in the dark. They can keep tab
on the production of chickens for they
come to market all the year rounG, out
they never know about the turkeys. The
bronze birds may be little scarce this
fall on account OF the wet weather last
spring, which was disastrous to the
young fowls, but aside from che fact that
the weather was wet the dealers have M
assurance that the turkeys arc scarce.
Chickens are coming I'm freely, though
not in such numbers as they viii come q
month later. and they are about the same
price as last year. The wet weather of
the spring stunted the growth aud de-
creased the number of chickens in some
parts of the state, but on the whole the
poultry men say the chicken crop is as
large and as of good quality as last year.
Eggs are somewhat scarcer and a little
higher in price.
1t looks now as though ducks and geese
would be here in plenty for the Thanks
giving and Christmas dinners. and the
price will be reasonable enough.

WASHINGTON ADVISES NEGROES
Tuskeegee Leader Says Law Abiding
Patience VIII Enable Race 20
Win Great victory.

NEW YORK, Oct 12.-The annual session
of the National Afro o-American council, in
progress here, was brought to close to-
night with services in Zion church.
Booker T. Washington made the principal
address. lie said in part:
In the season of disturbance and excite
ment if others yield to the temptation of
losing control of their Judgment and give
way TO passion and prejudice, let us
race teach the world that we have learned
control; that we are determined to be gov
crned by reason rather than by feeling
Our victories in the past have come to us
through our ability to be calm and pa
tient, often while enduring great wrong.
II Others would break the law and tram
pie II under foot. let us keep and respect
It and teach our children to follow our ex-
ample.
In this connection repeat what I have
uttered on recent occasion: Every iota
used to get rid of the criminal and loafing
clement of our people and to make decent
law-abiding citizens.
To the members of my race who reside
In the northern states let me utter the cau-
tion that in your enthusiastic desire to be
you do not make their path more thorny
and difficult by rash and intemperate utter
ances. Before giving advice to the negro
in the south the negro in the north should
be very sure that what he advises is that
which he himself would be willing TO take
into the heart of the south and put into
fire which you will have no ability to
put out.
Some may think that the problems with
which we are graphing viii be better
solved by inducing millions of our people
to leave the south for residence in the
north, but l warn you that instead OF this
being a solution II will but add to the COM
plications of the problem. The indscrim-
mate condemnation of all white people on
the part OF any member OF our race is a
suicidal and dangerous policy. We must
learn to discriminate. We have strong
friends, both in the south and In the north
and we should emphasize and magnify the
efforts OF our friends more than that of
those who wish us evil. The country must
also learn to differentiate between black
people. II is a mistake to place all i'm the
same class when referring TO labor. NOR
ality or general conduct. There Is a
vicious class that disgraces us; there Is
also worthy class which always receive
commendation. Further, we must frankly
face the fact that the great body of our
people are 10 dwell in the south. and any
policy that does not seek TO harmonize the
two races and cement them is unwise and
dangerous.
Creatlon-construction in the material.
civil, education, moral and religious world
is what makes races great. Any child can
cry and fret but II requires n full-grown
man to create-to construct.

FATHER SHERMAN ON FAITH
Essential Element Personality Of Christ
and Consciousness Of Immortality.
ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS ARE INTERESTING
Brings Out n Dissertation on the Soul.
which Distinguishes Man from
Lower order of
Animals.

The third OF the lectures of Father
Sherman was sven Thursday evening at
Creighton college auditorium before
largely increased audience, his subject
being "The Rock Of Faith" The lecture
was preceded by a vocal solo by Miss Lowe
The lecturer took tho ground tnat the es-
sential element of faith was in the person
alty and divinity of Christ and the inhcr-
ent consciousness of the souls immortal
ity and knowledge of its vitalizlng indu-
ence on every function Of life.
a specially interesting feature of Father
shcrmans lectures is in his answers 10
questions upon various doctrinal subjects,
placed in the question box" at the en-
trance of the auditorium, and to which he
invites all to contribute. without regard to
creed. In answer to one Of these he stated
that the spirit did not go back to the
Creator, from the fact that the Creator Is
a pure spirit. we are not a part OF God
nor are we made of a part of God" said
he. Man is distinct personality. The
soul, like matter, cannot be destroyed. but
like matter. may be transformed. The soul
Is in the whole body and is the life OF the
body. Where there is sensation there Is
soul. II is whole I'm every part of the
body. but not wholly. II Is the vital prin-
ciplc of the brain, lungs and heart and
gives its vitality to every movement OF the
body.
No Soul I'm Lower Animals.
"The soul does not exist in the lower ami
mails because II is an Intellectual and not
an instructive force. Birds have an in
stinct to build their nests and bees to
gather and store honey but aside from the
variety of species they build their nests
and make honey just as their ancestors
have done. No two mon want n cottage or
house of the same kind Articulate speech
is the result OF reason. When you can
bring me bird or any other Of the lower
animals that can stand on this platform
with dictionary before him and his lee
ture notes In his hand and talk and rea-
son with you as ! am doing. 1 will believe
in the doctrine Of the evolution of species.
"The brain is an instrument of the body
and has no direct connection with the
soul but the higher faculties are exercised
through the instrument of the brain. stim-
ulated by the vitalizing inf1uenc OF the
soul"
Upon the close OF the lecture Misses
OBrien and Lowe and Messrs. Bradley and
Jameson sang a beautiful quartet, which
closed the program of the evening.
Father Sherman will lecture this evening
on the subject of "The God Man" On Sat-
urday evening on the subject of why Am
a Catholic?" Sunday evening on "The
Tribunal Of Penance" and on Monday even

SOME MARKET HINTS

New Vermont" maple sugar from Ohio
cents a pound. It comes in cakes OF
course. of one and two pounds. New cocoa
nuts are in and sell for and 10 cents
each, according to size.
The Florida oranges expected the last
of this week have not arrived. but are ex-
pected Monday. These will be better than
anything the market has afforded for some
time or will have until the new California
oranges come in.
Peaches are hanging on unusually and
unexpectedly well. Nearly every car of
fruit that comes in brings a few cases of
peaches and nice ones too. There are
only a few cling stones, the most OF them
being free stones. They sell for about 81
a box.
The home crop of grapes is about ex-
haustcd and this week has brought the
eastern shpments-from New York and
Pennsylvania. The price of Concord grapes
has advanced in consequence, to 30 cents n
basket, but their quality is exceptional.
The first of the Natoma Tokay grapes
from California came in this morning and
sell for 12l5 cents a pound.
Pears are quoted by the dozen rather
than the box now. Almost all the late fall
varieties are to be had, but they sell for
25 and 30 cents a dozen or $3.50 and s.
a box. The Sheldon and Lawrence pears
are the best for eating just now.
