Their carrying Of the contract with
NOR & Co. Before any injunction
had been asked for by any taxpayer
OF the county there had been paid
into the treasury Of the county as a
result OF Moir & Co.'s Investigation
more than 5000 in taxes. Under
the contract NOR & Co. we're to have
a sum equal TO % per cent Of that
sum. The sum was earned and the
county had received the benefit OF
their services and the net gain to the
county after Moir & Co. should be
paid was more than $1,000.
Moir & Co. instituted a suit for the
amount Of their services. The coun-
ty admitted Its liability, and when
the suit came on for hearing no tax
payer, no attorney for any taxpayer,
no county attorney and no county
commissioner made the least objec-
ton before the court nor filed single
paper in the case Of any character or
form asking the court to refuse the
judgment or to to stay its execution
There was nothing for the court to do
but render the judgment, and II any
taxpayer was not satisfied with 1t he
could have at any time come into
court and asked for stay Of proceed
ings until after the injunction matter
would be disposed by the supreme
court, and the judge would have uh'
doubtedly granted such stay upon APP
plication. But not single paper OF
any character was filed in the case
asking for any stay of execution or
stay Of judgment.
1t may also be said that no appeal
was taken from the judgment by the
county commissioners although they
had behind them the entire wealth OF
Dickinson county to fight the Judg-
ment If it was money.
The fact of the matter is that the
Judge did not guess correctly what the
supreme court would do in a case OF
this character, and his decision in the
injunction case was erroneous. But
II it was erroneous it was an error in
rendering q conscientious opinion'in
aid Of the efforts Of the county COM
missioners to discover property which
had wrongfully omitted from the
property statement Of its owner.
And it will be long time after the
ides Of next November before the
Chronicle will be able to induce any
honest taxpayer Of this county to vote
against Judge Moore because be made
an honest mistake in deciding case
in favor OF all the people and In favor
of the honest taxpayer and against
the taxdodger.

maker striped material can be made
the most becoming thing In the
world; 1t can be so manipulated as to
give either height or breadth, and
there is no figure that 1t will not
beautify.
The new materials are all very
tasteful. There are no violent con-
Ntrasts. the stripes being for the most
part in two shades of the same color,
or IL two colors are used they are
both In dark tones and chosen with an
eye to harmony. A pretty combina-
tion In these two-color stripes Is chest
nut brown and a very dark shade of
myrtle green, which blend together In
the exact hues of a pheasant's plum
age.
Every shade Of brown, violet and
gray will be used for tweed and cloth
walking dresses, some being striped
with very fine line of black over two
shades of the self-color. The make
OF these costumes inclines towards
that elegant simplicity which is so
difficult to achieve. the most common
skirt trimming being three bands of
the material cut diagonally, the bodice
having little waistcoat and cuffs to
correspond. Some tailor built coats
, are made entirely in diagonal stripes,
but the result Is somewhat weird and
not SO becoming as the long straight
lines.

All women know the queer whims
OF the hair. There are days when 1t
will not look nice. This happens when
the woman Is out of temper.
The hair feels a quick sympathy
and shows II. II will not lie down;
II will not stand up; 1t will not pun
and 1t will not braid. Hair. when
one feels Ill, always looks thin. It
lacks stamina and acts just as the
body Is apt to feel.
Hair has temper OF Its own. and
It reflects your moods. There Is a
woman who declares that her hair
knows the state of her mind and
sympathizes with her.

The Latest In stocklnas.

quite plain. Still there are some

William J. Bryan, Democratic Candidate for President
Greeting Charles F Murphy the Tammaay Boss in the
Railroad Station in Lincoln

labor is growing each day more friend
! ly to Taft. The campaign of education
which the Republicans have been car
rying on has been effective, and the
| labOring man, SO Mr.. POwderly told
the candidate, Is beginning to appre-
ciate the fact that restoration Of
business confidence through the cleo
ton of Mr.. Taft means more work and
prosperous times for him.
Secretary Straus announces his in
tCnti0n to 80 out on the sturlp for the
specific purpose of exposing some of
the Bryan fallacies in regard to labor.
Said Mr.. Straus: The most dangerous
of these fallacies Is presented i'll
Bryan's slogan, Shall the people rue?'
and we'll may he ask it, for every one
of his leading doctrines is Il denial OF
that rule"
Mr.. Straus classes Mr.. Bryan's gov
crnmcut guarantee Of bank deposits as
next in point of danger to his plan for
the government ownership of railroads.
Mr. StrauS believes this guarantee
proposition is us great menace rs the
old IL to / hobby "To guarantee de-
posits." said Secretary Straus, "is to
guarantee the loans of the banks, for,
as Il matter of fact. large part of the
banks deposits is made up Of credits
extended by the bank to borrowers and
by them deposited or placed on the
books of the banks as deposits"
Mr.. powderly said among other
things after his talk with Taft: la
Dor never was better organized. better
paid, more independent or more re-
Spected than 1t is today. Never was 1t
more secure in its share Of the outcome
Of the commodity or the good will and
confidence of employers. All this is
due to the effort of nOnpartisan, we'll
otliccrcd unions. What labor organiZa-
tions now enjoy. and they enjoy more
than they ever enjoyed in the civilized
world before, came as the result of
intelligent, cooperative effort eXerted
in nonpartisan way through their
unions.
"Of course there are many men out
Of employment as the result of the
recent depression, but to my knowl-
edge men are returning to their old oc-
equations all over the country and at
their old rates of pay. recall the
a"f"! panic Of 1873 and that Of 1893,
and in neither case did men go back to
work at their old wages. The case is
different now. and to my mind it would
way as to imperll the return of full
prosperity, so rapidly manifesting
