HAVE FUN WITH BACON.
Name of Poor Commissioner Fur
nishes Jests for County Officers.

Since C. N. Bacon, the new county
poor commissioner, took possession of
his job on July /, the court house
people have been having all the fun
they can out of his name. The fact
that the commissioner of the poor
makes a practice of having supply
of provisions on hand in his office,
furnishes some of the fuel for the
flashes of wit which have illumined
the ordinarily sombre atmosphere OF
the county building
This" said County Commissioner
Frank Sims when the august body to
which he belongs was approving the
new officials bond. lis the first time L

sioner's office for many years"
He looks more like fresh meat to
me-" commented County Assessor S.
H. Haynes, who overheard the re-
mark.

in this side of Bacon" was another

get them up to the house for dinner ?'
And Mr.. Bacon, standing in the
fierce white light that beats upon
newly appointed official. waited pa
tiently until they were all through be-
fore he issued his ultimatum.
You fellows wait" commanded he.
Sometime you'll probably all be COM
ing around to my office for a hand
out. And when you do what you'll
get won't be bacon. No, sir. I'll give
you prunes."

IS A "QUIET" FOURTH.
Few or No Accidents Have Been
Chronicled.

Topeka probably has witnessed few
er accidents today than on any Fourth
of July since the town became city.
With the police and all the hospitals
today it has been a matter of COM
ment that July A accidents have been
conspicuous by their absence.
Of course there were lots of burned
fingers, probably some hurts of great
er consequence, but if there have been
any serious accidents they were not
reported at the usual places where the
accident list usually is compiled.
$50 far this has been quiet Fourth
of July" said Chief of Police Maurice
Jenkins this afternoon. ut is the sort
of a Fourth I like. And there were
comparatively few attractions of the
orders against celebrating ahead of
time. The pistols have been dispensed
with and the canes which used to
make so much racket and hurt SO
many people. I think Topeka has been
doing herself a god deal of credit by
RETAINING from the excess of nuisances
which ordinarily accompany the day s
celebration
At o'clock not a single Fourth of
July accident had been reported at
any of the hospitals.

NO STAFF FOR THE FLAG.
So Old Glory FToated From Court
House Window.

The flag staff that once stood upon
the county court house was broken
many months ago and even the frag-
ments- have been removed, so that
when c. N. Bacon, who is caretaker of
the court house as well as commission
er of the poor, arrived this morning no
hutter of stars and stripes met his
gaze when he raised his eyes to where
the flag should have been.
THAT will never do" thought Mr.
Bacon, who is an old soldier. the only
one now in the court house And he
proceeded to investigate. With the
help of S. H Haynes, county assessor,
who happened to be in the building,
Notwithstanding the day is legal hoii-

would have to be put back in place be-
fore another national holiday. or they
would have good reason from the
county commissioners as to why not.

s. II. HAYNES
County Assessor

The Office of County Assessor is one of great
responsibility. It is of vital Importance that
the assessing and the work in connection with
the compilation of the tax figures be absolutely
correct.
This office is no ''snap"; no sinecure
The State Tax Commission has this to say in
regard to the work of the office: cit has been
suggested that the law does not require much
time from the County Assessors, but to the
Commission it seems that he will be the hardest
worked officer of the county,"
Experience counts.
Mr.. Haynes is thoroughly acquainted with the
duties of this important office. He is the logical
man for the office, and should receive this NOM
ination.
His work speaks for itself.
