SITS A day MAY Be TAFT'S PAY.
That is What Senate Conn
nittee Recommended
to Congress.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-This 10
what Uncle Sam will probably paw
William III. Taft for his services as
chief executive, the senate commit
tee on finance having made favor
at le report on the bill to make the
salary of the president Of the U nited
States 800, 900 a year, and those
of the vice president and speaker of
the house, $40, 900 year.
800. 900 year, or
ts, 333. S3 month, or
81, ,923.l9 week, or
S276.70 day.
This is what Theodore Roosevelt
has been getting for his services:
$4,000 a year, or
81, 1866 a month, or
$s6l.59 week, or
$l3s.35 day.
From this it appears that Mr..
Taft is likely to have twice as much
money in his jeans with which to
keep the wolf from the White
House door as his predecessor has
had The time is not far past
when our presidents were getting
s25, 900 year.
Senator Bourne lately introduced
the bill to make the salary of the
president 800, 600 year.
The measure reported today is
not the Bourne bill, but an amend
ment to the legislative, executive
aud judicial appropriation. Senator
Bailey opposed il. and is expected
to oppose the amendment on the
floor.
Senator Aldrich, chairman of the
committee, wants the bill passed.

Find 40 Per Gent OF Meters WrOnu

The Public Service commission
in the cd district of Albany has an
nounced that in the recent test of
Isl gas meters, following com
plants, sixty-one were found to be
incorrect to the prejudice of the con-
sumner, registering 2 per cent or
more too fast. The remainder of
the meters were either correct with
the per cent error limit which
the commissions rules allow. or
slow to the prejudice of the compa
ny. The slowest meter was found
to register % per cent from the true
standard and the highest l75 per
cent fast.-New York Tribune.
There seems to be something
wrong with some of the meters i'm
our town. Many complaints have
been made about the big gas bills of
last month.

nearly run out, but feeble as she

leaves you by the wayside to die

The ungodlv screeches of the
Catlettsburg fire whistle awoke the
denIzens of the Ohio and Big San
dy valleys for miles around Wednes-
day morning at O'Clock. AT about
the second snort of the gila monster
those who had been peacefully rest
ing IN the arms of kind Morpheus
began to shake and shiver and hunt
for the kiver. Those of a nervous
disposition no doubt thought the
world was coming to an end and
that Gabriel had made terrible dis.
cord on his trumpet. However,
those who imagined these and other
things were way off, 80 to speak.
The rampiDgs and screeching Of the
monster that ought TO be In the Nile
were simply to call the attention of
the Catlettsburg fire company to the
fact that fire was in progress in
the wet goods establishment of Var
ney d Frazier on Front street, that
city. Before being extinguished
the fire did about So, 900 damage.
Insurance will about cover the loss.
About l / O'Clock the same day tie
monster again bumped up in the
middle and bissed, snorted, paved
up the ground and horned every
shade tree in the surrounding com.
munity inst to gently inform the fire
laddies that smoke was again oozing
from the same building. No dam
age to any extent was done to the
building this time, however.
