COMMISSIONERS I'M SESSION.
First Regular Quarterly Term Of Commissioners
Court Convened Last Monday.

For the first time, a regular
term of the commissioners court
of this county was held in the
new court house, the session be-
ginning last Monday and will con-
tinue throughout today when it
was thought that all matters
would be disposed of for the
term. 1t has been a very quiet
term for the court as practically
all matters concerning the new
building had heretofore been set
tied and there were but few mat
tiers to be disposed of relative to
the roads of the county, these
two matters having heretofore
taken up great deal of time.
Some time was taken in going
over each item in the Treasur-
er's quarterly report and yester-
day afternoon a large portion of
the court went to the country to
look at a proposed new road,
According to the minutes the
following are the principal mat
tiers transacted during the week:
The returns of the special cleo
ton held on August 3rd for the
purpose of voting on the pro-
posed constitutional amendments
were canvassed and each of the
three amendments having re-
ceived a majority of the votes in
the election. they were declared
carried in this county and the
clerk instructed to record the re-
suits in the proper records.
The Texas Machinery & Sup
ply Company having complied
with their contract in installing
the pumping plant and water
supply for the court house, the
machinery was accepted and the
clerk ordered to draw draft in
favor of the company for $50 in
payment of their contract.
The sum of sos. 10 was ordered
transferred from the new Court
House and Jail fund to the old
court house and Jail fund and the
sum of $500 was transferred from
the Road and Bridge funds to the
old court house and jail fund.
A large number of claims
against the county were eXamin-
ed and allowed and ordered paid.
The quarterly reports of W. D.
Scott as county attorney, A. n.
Henson, county Judge, r. H.
Sanford, sheriff, P. H. Young,
county treasurer, w. J. Redfearn,
justice of the peace, Precinct No.
|. and NJ. P. Garner, county and
district clerk, were examined and
approved.
The lines between school dis
tricts No. 9 and 10 We're changed
for the convenience Of the peo-
pie composing the two districts.

The eastern papers may con
tinue to howl against the everi
advancing, prosperous West, but.
the prospectors still come. This
bowling causes people to come,
and investigate and when they
cast their eye over the beautiful
country they simply smile and
wave a fond adieu to the crowded
east. You see this class of
journalism instead of injuring
the golden west is unconsciously
advertising it.-Wellington Lead

Though he purposely laid no stress
on these words and said them In a
quiet, unconcerned tone of voice, the

diately jumped up and. leaping through
the open window. scrambled up to the
turf roof of the house, from which he
could see the potato field. He then,

ed into the barn where she was and,
finding that all was right, came back
to the house.
After short time the shepherd said
the same words again. and the dog re-
peated his lookout. but on the false
alarm being the third time given the
dog got up and, wagging his tail, look
ed his master in the face with so com
ical an expression of Interrogation that
he could not help laughing aloud at
him. on which, with slight growl, he
laid himself down in his warm corner
with an offended air, as II determined
not to be made fool of again.--Lon,

enormous rocks and buried alpine
huts. The greatest danger comes from
the furious gales shifting the snow
and making return impossible. The
rescue parties are always led by the
dogs whose intelligence Is never ques-'
toned. Sometimes the dogs go pros
pecting on their own account, and
each carries supply of good red wine
in a flash about his neck. Should he
track and find some wayfarer in the
snow. or fallen down precipicc, he
gallops back to the hospYce with a
message that is unmistakable. Then
the rescue party goes out, rubs the
frozen limbs of the unfortunate with
handfuls OF snow and encourages him
to rise and walk a little. If this is
impossible, or the victim be dead, he
is borne back on the stalwart should
ers of the monks attendants.
/ was most Interested to learn that
the pure race of st. Bernard dogs
cannot live away from the mountain
they have been associated with for so
many centuries In the plains they
degenerate In size and strength, and
their wonderful sagacity grows duler.
Under no circumstances will the hos
pice sell or part with their dogs, al
though they have had many tempt
ing offers from foreign travellers, who
will pay high price.
Most notable among these four-leg-
ed saviors Is Oliver. with a record OF
fifty-six rescues He is to be sent
to Martigny. where the monastery has
a kind of sanatorium in which the
dogs try to regain the health and
strength they have lost in the service
of stranRers.

man, whom Aunt Alvira declared to
be "mighty wiry, il he did look so
spindlin'."

sat down f0r chat with Aunt Alvlra.
The visitor took note Of the enormous
quantity Of stove wood piled up in the
back yard and overhowing from the
great woodshed. The whole yard was
strewn with II. The caller estimated
that there were not less than twenty
FIVE cords.
"What an enormous quantity OF
wood you have" he said to Aunt Fifer.

piled. "T cal'late on sellin' most o. 1t

Supposing you should pick up your

and supposlng upon unfolding II two
che dollor bills should drop into your

some pipe dreams come true--some-
times-that Is exactly what happened
to- Ear Baldauf, of 33S Willow street
Monday evening.
Mr.. Baldauf read the Missing Word
Challenge and Immediately camped on
the trail of the vacancies. As a scout
after stray English, he was a winner,
Il winner in this case of two real dol
Jar bills fresh from Uncle Sans fac
tory.
One of the words was omitted from
the ad o. the East End Cash grocery
whose proprietor thinks 1T will pay
one to try the PLAN" meaning 1T will
pay anyone to try the CASH plan"
Another had concealed itself in the
Marion Business College ad do you
earn fifteen per week." which was a
contraction of do you earn fifteen
DOLLARS per week?" Say, anyone
could &c. next to that, couldn't they
row that the secret is out.
Just the same, you had better take
