There Is much interest being taken by some of our best women, among them some Daughters and I think in the next few months our work, Children of the Republic will be well started in the boys club. I have tried to start the work of Children of the Republic in three other places, but not being able to give it personal attention, l cannot say that it is progressing, but l am hopeful nevertheless

 The Ludlows failed to score with Coughlin in the box, and only made tl.ree hits off from him. Oahill did fipe work as backstop. Collins has not yet reached his usual form. His delivery was slow and he did not field his position as we'll as usual, but his poor support at the opening of the game certainly was discouraging. The Staffords could not do very much with Clark's benders. Dowd, with a hit in the second, scored on a passed bsll. In the fourth three hits result eu in two runs. In the ninth Clark was batted quite freely. Gagne oxtsned. with 8 hit and it looked at one time as if the Staffords might be able to tie the score, but the side was retired after adding three to the score. The management, owing to being dis appointed by Langton, who was book ed to play first. and who were await ing the results of efforts to secure Cobb, played Gagne at third in this game, as he has in the past put up | some very good games, but on account | of his work Saturday the management | could not do anything else than give him his release, likewise Bird, who is not considered up to the require nents.

 The same results can not be obtain ed from the low-grade as from the high-grade oils and it will be neces- sary for the company to increase It's refining and pipe line capacity as IL becomes more dependent upon the products of the Texas, California, Kansas and Oklahoma fields. As soon as the litigation in which the Stand ard Oil Company is involved is out or the way the question of increasing the capital stock to a figure that will pc more in harmony with the market val uation of the securities will be taken up for consideration.
 Standard Oil representatives are more confident than ever that the cor poraton will come out victorious ih the suits instituted against it. They hold that practically all the charges against the company are based on technicalities.

STANDARD OIL TO MAKE
 NEW RECORD FOR PROFITS

M EW YORK.-The earnings of the ~ Standard Oil company for some time have been establishing new high records. The net earnings for the cur rent year are expected to reach a fig ure between $75,OOO,0OO and $10O. O.OOO.- 900, or twice the amount required to pay dividends at last years rate of $4O a share. The litigation in which the company is involved is the only thing that prevents the Standard Oil company from increasing its disburse- ments to shareholders. It is said in the event of satisfactory conclusion Of this litigation there will be a melon cutting of no small proportions.
 That the management of the Stand ard oil company does not believe the present market price of the securities is too high is evident from the fact that the stock is down on the books at . valuatin $500 share. Included in the assets are more than $1OO .OOO.- 000 of government bonds.
 Producers of oil are sharing in the prosperity of the Standard Oil com pany. Eastern as well as western oils have witnessed a sharp advance. which has served to stimulate pro- duction materially. There is a pro-

The people of Prescott and Nevada county do not yet fully realize what the school elections of last Saturday mean to the youth of the county. They will not, perhaps, be able to realize it fully for twelve months to come. The slight increase in the taxes means that we Will have more money and consequent ly better teachers and longer terms of school. It is great step forward in the matter of education. Next, we must have better houses and better roads. Nothing is too good for the children of Arkansas.

The Rheumatism with which He Was
Afflicted, Disappears Before the on

That George NJ. Busey has recover
ed completely from the physical in
disposition which has compelled him
to abandon business practically for a
year, will b cheering news to his many
friends.
During the last year he has been
unable 0 give his business associates
much of his assistance, owing to the
fact that he has been afflicted with
rheumatism. He not only felt i'll, but
his friends said that he looked bad. He
was met on the street, recently, by a
friend who commented upon the fact
that he was looking so well. Mr.. Blu
sey told him the secret of his quick
recovery. He said tht he had been
spending three weeks at Mt. Clemens,
Mich. taking the mineral baths. He
said that there was no necessity Of his
remaining longer.
Mr.. Busey lays his good health to
the DdlnS anu the lHteih Sehe ueoeiiV'e

feeling as supple as he has felt in ten
years. In regard to Mt. Clemens, he
says that it is one of the prettiest
places in Michigan and is twenty
miles from Detroit He left here on
the fifteenth of April. Mr.. Busey will
continue at the old stand for some
months as it will take some time TO

MS somewhat gratifying to see the
asseSf Irs of this county do their full
duty in listing the personal property.
From the best Information that we
can gather they are assessing every
thing according to law as near as
possible. While they are democrats
it might seem a little queer to some
who notice that this paper commends
them, but we can not do otherwise
when we know that they are hunting
for property heretofore never assessed
A list of the deeds of trust recorded
in the clerks office was furnished
them. and when they assess a person
they know whether or not he or she
has money loaned out on real estate
This fact alone has brought to light
great many thousand of dollars nevel
assessed before Any man who fnd
fault with assessing mortgages ha
surely never given the question o
taxation a thorough study Why a.
individual who has his hundred do
lars in horse should pay taxes on
and the individual who has a thousan
dollars loaned ont on real estate S,
we are not able to solving. To asses
the former and let the latter escar
