the Office Of County Commissioner OF
the Second District, subject to the
pleasure Of the Republican primaries
Mr.. Haskell is one Of the substantial
citizens Of the county and is well
qualified for the office he seeks. He is
a man OF sound judgment aud good
business ability and Is capable Of de-
Gliding and determining questions of
importance in the government of
county affairs. We believe that he is
able, honest and fair-minded and that
he would make this district a good
representative. In our acquaintance
Of some fifteen or twenty years with
Mr. Haskell we have never heard any
thing but creditable and favorable re-
ports OF him as a man, a ueighbOr and
an official, he having filled various
township and district 0 ffices OF impor-
tsnce and responsibility. Mr.. Haskell
mas a large following and is a promi-
nent candidate OF his party. While
there may be other men from this
district who could fill the office OF
county commissioner as we'll, there
are none who could serve the people
better than A. A Haskell.

Decoration Day Splendidly
Observed.

The Decoration Day Just passed was
one of the most splendidly observed
public days that has been celebrated
in Beaver for many day. Every wear
the people OF Beaver and vicinity have
showed their respect for the Old Sol
diers in a marked degree but we think
| the occasion Just passed exceeded all
previous demonstrations.
One Of the largest crowds ever as
sembled in Beaver was here on that
day and took part in both the exercis-
es of the morning and afternoon.
The procession which wended its way
70 the City Of the Dead there To strew
flowers. the emblems Of love and hon.
or. upon the graves cf our fallen
heroes, was almost mile in length
-,ci there were enough vehicles of
various descriptions already at the
cemetery to more than complete the
mile. IL is estimated that fully five
hund rcd people attended the exercises.
The services at the graves were beau
tiful and impressive. Music by the
band and exercises by the q. A. r
preceded the strewing of flowers by
Young ladies who had been nreyiou ,Iv
selected for this work and who provids
ed lovely wreathes and bouquets for
each grave. While the young ladies
decorated the graves of those who
slept. the little folks strewed beauti-
ful flowers in the pathway OF those
heroes yet remaining with us and whom
we love and venerate. There was n
profusion Of flowers on every hand and
the cemetery after the services resem-
bled huge flower garden.
In the afternoon the program, as
nuhlished, was rendered at the Court
House. Space forbids mention af the
various numbers but We do want 10
say that the program from beginning
To end, was one of the best that has
heen presented to Beaver for many
day.
The spirit with which she people of
Beaver and vicinity take hold Of the
matter OF commemorating this Nation |
al holiday is indeed commendable
Everybody is willing and anxious 10 |
do their part in paying tribute OF
love and respect for those To whom we
owe our all. and Of all public occasions
Decoration Day is always the best and
most largely attended. This is as n |
should be. We are proud of our peo-
pie for their true patriotism and so
long as the little village of Beaver
stands, the Old BOYS may rest assured /
that the S0th day of May will ever be-
a day remembered and commemoratei
by them.

d. p. MILLER, SHERIFF.

Hereto attached is a report OF the
examination of the Office of DIP Miller
Sheriff of Beaver county, covering the
time from March 10. 1908, up to and
including December 81, 1903. Mr.
Miller was appointed to succeed Clyde
Maple, deceased, as sheriff and as
sumed the duties of the office March
10, 1905.
Mr.. Miller has oversrawn the sum
OF 1927 %. The sum OF s37S.Oj Of
which is for illegal allowance made to
him as mileage for taking insane per-
sons to the asylum, convicts TO the
penitentiary and out Of state work
The work of the sheriff's office is re-
ported in detail all excessive and il
legal claims are designated as over
charge.
Nothing in connection with the ex-
animation indicated anything other
than an honest purpose on the part OF
MIR Miller, but the amounts over
charged are on account of misconstruc-
tions placed upon the law governing
fees and salaries of sherifts. No state
ments is made of the tax warrants
turned over to Mr.. Miller by the
County Treasurer, and the amounts
collected on same by him is made for
che reason that Mr. Miller was away
from Beaver county and we could not
make a satisfactory check of same with
out his presence on account of the con-
fuseo condition Of his books. We sug-
gest that Mr.. Miller he required to
make a full and complete settlement
of taxes collected at once.
No account is rendered on sheriff's
Office frUm November 10, 1907, up to
March l6, 1908, for the reason that at
the death of Clyde Maple, who served
as sheriff during this period the ac-
counts were settled satisfactorily to
all concerned. His tenure Of the Of
flee was only four months.

Dear Sir: Hereto attached is a
statement Of salary and other allow
ances made TO W. l.. Beardsley,

November 10, 1901 to June 81, 1909.
Mr.. Beardsley, as county clerk Of

name Of Beardsley & Moore. against

claim No. 324. This claim was allow
ed in two warrants, one for sl25 to
Beardsley, county warrant No 2675,
one to Moore for $500, county war
rant No .2076 This amount Of sl2j al
lowed TO Beardsley was for alleged
services in effecting a settlement be-
tween Beaver, Texas and Cimarron
counties. Mr. Beardsley as county
clerk was as such clerk obligated to
give in time to Beaver county at the
salary provided by law and this allow
ance made to him is illegal and is
charged to him in the account attach
ed. Attention is further called to the
fact tina: Mr.. Beardsley drew from
Texas county the sum OF s93.75 and
from Cimarron county the sum OF s3l.-
% for alleged service.
Texas and Cimarron counties were
formerly part Of Beaver county but
at the time OF the adoption of the state
constitution were segregated from
Beaver county and were made separ
arate and independent counties and at
the election at the time of the adop-
ton of the constitution elected full
set OF county officers. These amounts
collected from Texas and Cimarron
counties were illegal and have been
charged to Mr. Beardsley and should
be collected from him by Beaver
county and returned to Texas and
Ciniarron counties. The total amount
due from Beardsley as shown IS S734.0o
and immediate action should be taken
by the proper authorities TO recover
the amount from Mr.. Beardsley and
