CHMPERS HIVE
JOLLY TIME
Week in the Mountains Passes
all too Quickly for Young
People

The Estancia and Mcintosh
young people spent the last week
in July in company in the Tai
que canon. The Estancia party
consisted of Misses Mayo, Corn
ell, Quinn, Newton, Collins,
Parkell, Minnie and Myrtle
futile, Messrs. McGhee, Julian
and Fred Tuttle, Carver, Flesher,
Brown and Moore; Brown and
Moore having secured license to
kill bear and other big game.
The crowd left Estancia Monday
afternoon. This was the fifth
annual outing of the Estancia
young people. Mr.. McGhee
has been with every party and
has been largely instrumental in
keeping up the custom. Miss
Collins and Messrs. Carver.
Julian and Fred Tuttle had been
on one or more previous excur-
slons. Miss Myrtle Tuttle acted
as chaperon. She was fitted by
age and experience and was both
satisfactory and amusing. The
first night was spent at the En-
glish-Souders saw mill and the
permanent camp was reached
Tuesday forenoon. In the after
noon Misses Collins, Cornell,
Minnie and Myrtle Tuttle and
Messrs, Flesher, Carver and
Julian Tuttle visited the home
of Mr.. Rae while the senior
members of the party rested.
The same evening the Mcintosh
crowd arrived consisting of
Misses Hildred and Rothie Soper,
Minnie and Leila Laws, Pear.
Gallaher, Roxie Apple, Mary
Woodall Sarah Burchard, Olive
Duer and Mrs. Torrance and
Messrs. Torrance, King, Lassell,
White, Nye and Wilson, Mrs.
Torrance being chaperon. The
same evening they were enter
tanned by the Estancia crowd at
a sumptious banquet. Wednes-
day both crowds numbering
over thirty, visited the home of
Mr.. Rae. This was the largest
number of people so far as known
ever assembled on Mt. Bosque,
at one time. Before returning
it was discovered that the trip
was in honor of Julian Tuttle S
last birthday in single life. In
the evening the Mcintosh crowd
invited the Estancia people to a
'buttin" barbecue, Mr.. Torrance
having secured a goat from Mr..
Rae. Recitations were given
by Misses Olive Duer, Rothie
Soper, Minnie and Leila Laws,
Roxie Apple and Mary Woodall.
Mr.. Wilson gave us a tenor solo.
Mr.. King sang songs in Yiddish.
Miss Parkell and Mr.. Flesher
whistled duets. Miss Quinn the
poet of the crowd recited an
original poem on camp life.
Then the host expressed regret
that the meat was not done.
The guests took the hint and
returned home but not to stay.
A little later they assembled
near the Mcintosh camp and
while Misses Gallaher, Burchard
and Hildred Soper and Messrs.
White, Lassell and Nye were
silently(?) watching the camp
fire Julian and Fred Tuttle rush
ed through the camp ringing a
large cow-bell and secured the
goat. When the Mcintosh folks
came to few hours later they
discovered that the meat was
gone. Revenge came fast
Misses Matte Newton and Min
ME Tuttle became so excited
that several times during the
night they called out The Nc

The Counert Tomorrow Night.

The most unstinted praise would
give but a small idea of the perfec-
tion and beautiful effects that Mr..
Harry NJ. Gilbert has been enabled
to secure with his chorus of children's
voices that will be heard at the Wo-
mans club concert at the Casino to-
morrow Thursday evening. Those
persons Wis have been 30 fortunate
as to hear e,-S rehearsals are most
enthusiastic abour this part of the
program, and assure the public that
in these numbers they can expect a
rare treat. not only will It be a nov
city but the degree of perfection and
the intelligent Interpretation that
these children have brought to bear
In the singing of their choruses
would do credit to singers Of many
years training. The fact that the
have so readily mastered
difficult songs is due in no small
measure to the knowledge OF music
gained in the public schools, and II Is
most unfortunate, as well as a re-
Election on Paducah that this branch
of study has been eliminated as a
department from the course.
Do not fail to hear the children
sing tomorrow night, and insist on
music in our schools.

and Charles E. Graham and was
afterwards chosen clerk.
In relating the first discovery of
wrongdolngs, Attorney,
Barley said that at every session of
fiscal court he called upon Smedley
to report the collection of back taxes,
but he said he had collected none.
In May, 1908, Smedley reported col
Letting s23S, which led to an investi-
cation forcing him to resign from
office. Smedley did not record his
collections on the regular book, but
put them in a private cash book
which was not known 20 the county
officials and was inaccessible.
On his resignation he turned over
the private book and the shortage of
back taxes was found, amounting to
$1,5S2.50. This was at once recov-
cred from the Title Guaranty and
Surety company. There was nothing
agreed upon between the county and
company as to liability for any other
shortages.
1t Will be a stupendous undertake
ing to figure out the many suits that
will have to be brought for the re-
covery of the full amount. As the
bonding company was only on for
Smedley's term as county court clerk
for four years only, the amounts
stolen by him in that length of time
can be recovered only from the COM
pany.

A recapitulation Of the report fol-
lows:
] made a thorough examination OF
the accounts of all salaried county
offlcers-holding Office under the
Jurisdiction OF the McCracken county
fiscal court, from January /. 1897.
to and including June 80. 1909. I
found that all of the officials had
drawn their regular monthly and
quarterly allowances or salary, in ac-
cordance with the orders as shown
by the fiscal court order books, with
county Judge. Instead of drawing
his monthly allowances or salary, he
would draw from time to time
amounts TO meet his demands, and
make deposits in the county deposl-
tory'-placing same to the credit OF
the county levy fund. from which all
warrants issued in his favor were
charged.
After making an ttemized state
ment of his account from January / 3.
1902, to and including June 30, 1909,
found his account to be as follows:
Total amount due him on salary from
