A DiSquSted Republican.

General James S. Clarkson ie-
tired recently from the Office of
surveyor of the port of New York.
General Clarkson, speaking to the
New York correspondent for the
Chicago Record Herald. Republic
can, said that he was clad to get
rid of the load. He said that his
efforts for honest administration
were constantly thwarted. Then he
said:

would tell the truth, but my
efforts were constantly thwarted at
Washington. The Fairbanks Com
pany experimental for two years
unil it had perfected an automatic
scales that would have been most
suitable for our use. ] had them
tried and they were satisfactory,
but when the president of the
company went to Washington he
was turned down. Why? Per-
haps you all know as well as |.
Another time we secured a salts

sent to Washington for approval
it was laid away in some cellar. 1t

State Board of Equalization.

County Judge G.. A. McCor-
mick and j. T. Highland went to
Frankfort last week to protest
against the proposed raise of
per cent. on city and county
property. They were unable to
state what action the Board will
a k e. Although Montgomery
county has increased the taxes
SlS4, $50 oyer last year, they still
want more. We understand the
action Of the State Board is final.
There should be some recourse
left for the county.

Explosion of Gas.

Many people were startled Sat-
urday night at about $3.50 o'clock
by a terrific explosion, and upon
investigation it was found to have
been caused by gas explosion at
the home of w. ii. Waller. 1t is
not known whether Mr.. Waller
turned the gas on and failed to
light it before being overcome by
the gas or whether it was caused
by defective plumbing.
John III. Spencer and wife, who
live in part of the house, first
noticed the escaping gas from the
'odor. and Mr.. Spencer went to the
door and opening it looked in at
the same time striking a match.
The force of the explosion practi-
cally destroyed the back part of
the house.
Mrs. Spencer was standing In
the door of her room several feet
away holding a lighted lamp in
her hand, and the force of the ex-
plosion completely destroyed the
lamp, leaving only the handle in
her hand. The flying glass cut
her face badly.
Mr.. Waller who is nearly 50
years old, was badly burned and
it is feared he is internally injured

burns on the head, face, chest and
hands. We understand no in
