manly form of one of the players. was
more than Ida Candy. OF Bridgeton, n.

her fortune on the road.
Ida left Bridgeton on Saturday and

quandary. At 4 o'clock yester 'ay morning
her father left home on a bicycle and rode
to Salem, He followed by boat 70 New
Castle and soon found his seventeen-year-
old daughter.
There was a hurried consultation with
the manager aud other people of the car
nival The girl was intent on selling
tickets for the theatre where the singers
OF the cotton fields were the attraction.
Finally she believed It was best to go back
to the land OF sand and mosquitoes. But
II was then too late to go home so father

happy as could be. They will so home this
afternoon 10 Bridgeton.

COUNTY NEED NOT
MAKE REFUNDS

William G. Jones, Jr. Levy Court
attorney. sent 10 the court this morn
ing an opinion in which he holds that
persons who bought properties from
Horace G. Rettew, late county tax col
lector. and have not obtained title
thereto cannot recover the 20 per cent
paid on the purchase price Of the pro-
perties. inasmuch as the county has
not received the money so paid. The
opinion holds further that the county
is liable for only a return of the taxes
due on the properties at the time OF
sale. AS the purchasers have their
only redress against Rettew. effort will
be made to have him give title TO all
the properties concerned.
Mr.. Jones' opinion was in reply 10
"a communication from Henry Hopes
who. being unable TO obtain title to
one such property. demanded a return
Of the 20 per cent. paid on the pur-
chase price. About fifty other persons
are affected by the opinion.

Remember the 4th of July celebration
at Eastonville.
According to the Pueblo Indicator the
Yeasels are killing all the rabbits near
Pueblo. In the lower Arkansas valley
they would not complain of the loss of
the rabbits.
The time is at hand when something
should be done toward arranging for the
Ebert County fair This is an event Of
much benefit to the community and we
cannot afford to let the matter drop.
It will be "Bill" Taft and "Billr
Bryan this year. Mr.. Bryan has run
against man Of that name twice. He
probably thinks the third time will be
the charm, but it looks like hoodoo for
him.
The Denver Post is acting just as it
did after the city election four years ago.
Then 1t stopped fighting Speer and sup
ported him. This year its position is
just the reverse. There is evidently a
reason.
A young Illinois man has sidestepped

ably there are a good many other men
who wish their courage had behaved in

The Tribune congratulates brother
Murry on his long and successful wcTa

for the future. And we hope the engine
has not contracted the disagreeable
habit Of baking on press day, which is
common to some.
The long expected stampede for Roose
welt did not occur. Attempts we're made
president were the first to discourage
them. After what he had said on the
subject, and after his encouragement of
the candidacy of the secretary OF war. it
was no compliment to him to assume
that he would change his mind at tt Q
last moment and allow his name to | Q
used. His remuneration of a nomination
he might easily have had is one of the
finest and biggest things in American
history.
The work Of the republican national
convention is completed, and the results
are very satisfying to the party in gener-
al. The nomination of Taft was unani-
nous. as was expected for some time
prior to the convention, and will meet
with approval all over the country. He
is a ma n of action and his executive
ability has been proven. In nominating
Sherman Of New York for vice president
the convention made choice which
was not altogether anticipated. The
race for second place seemed to be closer
between Dolliver and Cummins of Iowa
However, no complaint is made, ami all
look forward to the election with inter
est, as it will be race between two pop
ular men
