The C0unfy's Funds.


Under the above caption the
COURIER Of last week published
an article in regard to the coun.
ty courts failure to meat in time
to take action on bids that had
been filed with the county clerk
fro m three different banks that
aspired to become the deposi.
tary for this county.
In the same issue of the
COURIER we also published what
purported to he the proceedings
OF the May, 1909 term, of county
court up to Thursday morning.
In the proceedings furnished
US up to that time there was
nothing in regard to bids from
banks seeking the deposits of
county funds, but in the pro.
oeedings we publish this week
there appears q report from the
county clerk that no bids were
received End we find .upon;in.i
vsstigation thatthis report is,the|
last entry on MoRday,s record
andsitss failure to appear insthe
proceedings Furnished puse' VA,
probably due to it's having been
overlooked.
In strict legal sense, since
court was not in session at IL
O'Clock Monday to receive the
bids from banks making them,
neither the county clerk nor the
county court could take Official
cognizsnce of the fact that bids
were made and that is, perhaps,
why the county clerk reported
"no bids"
After advertising for bids the
members of the court will not
have the hardihood to deny that
they should have been in session
at the hour required by law to
receive the bids, if any were
made.
The COURIER has no desire to
do anyone an injustice, but as q
public journal it has a duty to
perform in protecting the public's
interests, and to that end it may
be depended upon at all times
and under all circumstances.
The Mendon State bank had
made q Did, through the mails,
that was received by County
Clerk c. G. Parks Monday morn
ing, May 8. An effort was
made by other bankers to induce
R. L. Brightwell, cashier of the
Mendon State bank, to withdraw
his bid, and he finally agreed to
do 80 provided that no other bid
was made.
AT 1855 another lid. came in
from the Farmers bank Of Trip !
lett, and that of course, wac "a
barrier to the withdrawal of the
bid of the Mendon State bank.
Not long after the bid of the
Farmers bank of Triplett was
received and shortly before IL
o'clock M. w. Anderson, cashier
of the Bank of Keytesville, slso
handed in q bid and this was the
situation of things as Judge A.
g.. Taylor reached the court
house q little after IL O'Clock
when his attention was directed
to the statute, and after reading
the section requiring that bids
for q depositary of county funds
should be received at IL O'Clock
on the first day of the May term oi
the county court, he said it was
too late to receive the bids.
The editor of the COURIER
talked with T. V. Phelps, cashier
of the Farmers bank of Triplett,
and r. L. Brightwell, cashier OF
the Mendon State bank, and il
was upon information given by
these gentlemen that our article
of last week was based.
We wrote to Mr.. Phelps in re.
gard to the report Of the county
clerk that no bids were received,

CONGRESSMAN FAVORS LINE OF
COASTWISE SHIPS TO THE 18TH
MUS OF PANAMA.

Congressman James McLachlan
gave the merchants of San Francisco
yesterday what they were pleased to
term "some facts right off the reel"
He talked of the need CO better trans
portation facilities between here and
Panama. His remarks were addressed
to the governing committee of the
traffic bureau of the Merchants ex-
change. He thought more steamships
in the carrying trade and fewer Dread
noughts a pretty good policy to fol-
low.
THE government" said McLach-
Ian. maintains a line of six steam
ers on the Atlantic with five day sail
ings. We also own the line across
the isthmus. but the service at this
end is paralyzed. 1 went down to the
isthmus from the coast on federal
liner. We took 5000 tons OF mer'
cbandise, most of which had beer
produced on the Pacific coast. 1t nae

and then taken to the isthmus Ih(

wac given a return cargo of only 3O'
TONS In order to make the vesse
seawo1thy SEQ tons were required sc
they took on the difference in scral

pany.
"At the last session of congress
( introduced a bill providing that thu
government should install a line 0
steamships between the Pacific coas
and Panama For $1OOO0,O00 W.
could put on 10 steamers. That
merely the price of one Dreadnought
. which will be obsolete in 10 year
and which would cost $1.OOO,O0O
year to maintain. With such a lin
of vessels there would be weekly sal
ings."
McLaohlan stated that the day a
ter he introduced the bill he receive
congratulatory kilograms from ever

yell at football games. The new rule
was put into effect today when a game
was played between the rival literary
societies and the girls were Obliged to
refrain from joining in the college
yells.
The large number of girls present
had to content themselves with mild

The rule is that yelling must be
confined to young men, and it is de-

decorum for college girls to yell,
Just what the girls will do when the
rival game between Knox and Lin

CHICAGO. ILL.,, Sept. 30.-The South
Shore Country Clubs officials have
aroused the Indignation of the femi-
nine persuasion by tabooing hats ar
the big reception to be given tonight
to mark the opening of the handsome
new ballroom of the club.
Just what led to the issuance of the
cards with the invitation is not known.
Inquiry failed to- throw any light on
the matter or bring forth any explana-
ton.
One club member offered an eXpla-
nation which, however, was not taken
seriously. He said that a rumor had
gained circulation that several society
leaders had planned to- introduce an
innovation by wearing new 1909 fall
models of a height that might endang
err the overhead decorations contem-
plated and that the cards had been
sent out to forestall any efforts to car
ry out the plan.
