EXPENSES REDUCED
BY new OFFICERS
Deputy Examiners Statement viii Re.
suit in Suits to Recover Money
For the County.

Muskogee, Okla, jan 4.--The new
board of county commissioners has
jumped into the work reducing ex.
penses with heartiness that is caus
ing general satisfaction among the
citizens, the reduction In the current
levy proving particularly pleasing
The policy of retrenchment if pursued
consistently will result in saving in
100000 1t is estimated, during the re-
mainder of this fiscal year alone.
Some problems have arisen in con
nection with the work of the new
board however, that will require study
and care to work out properly and
legally. Deputy State Examiner Hugh
Garner worked on the books of Mus
kogee county for two weeks and at
the end Of that time, stated that no
less than 100000 had been spent in en-
forcement of the prohibition law, for
which the county could not be held liza
BILE. This will doubtless result in
suits for recovery of the money
Naturally, the county officers do not
feel inclined to waste effort in round
ing up bootleggers and raiding joints
when the fees that have been forth
coming in the past cease. It is shown
by the records that county officials
have averaged as high as $500 a month
in fees alone out of the liquor cases.
1t is certain that the word has been
passed about that there is to be no
more lid" in the county for all joints
are running wide open. This con-
stitutes another problem for the com
missioners and other officers to solve.
A reduction of two and one-half
mills has been ordered in the county
and school district tax levy. but the
city council refuses to attempt any
such action unless the state tax is
first cut. Their reason is that the state
tax was doubled for the current year.
while the city levy shows but slight
Increase in rate.
An adjustment Of the tax books was
necessitated by the commissioners
order, and new problem Immediately
arose with the refusal of the county
treasurer, Connell Rogers to turn over
he nineteen volumes of tax books to I
he county clerk for correction. His
lction was based solely on a desire
o protect himself and his bondsmen

BELIEVES OSBORN CLUBS
HAVE ACCOMPLISHED MUCH
Chairman W. R. Oates Of Upper
Peninsula Osborn Club is
Much Pleased.
SEEMS VERY BRIGET

Chairman w. II. Oates of the Upper
Peninsula Osborn club, and organizer
of many of the local clubs i'm the diff
ferent counties is very much gratiiied
over the showing made at the spring
election yesterday throughout the up
per peninsula. Mr.. oates feels conf
dent that the chances of Mr.. Osborn
to land the republican nomination foi
governor have been very much improv-
ed by the heavy enrolment i'm every
district. Reports from all over the
peninsula indicate that Osborns friends
were out en- masse to enroll so that
they will be enabled to vote at the
primary I'm September and in many
instances voters who had been enrolled
under other party heads changed SO
that they might be enabled to vote for
Osborn for the republican nomination
The petitions for Mr.. Osborn were
also freely signed, and the total number
of names secured in the upper PENN
sula will probably be much greater
than is required before his name may
be placed upon the primary election
ticket.
During the next few weeks it is like
~ that the members Of the various
Osborn clubs will be brought together
TO decide upon future activities i'm be-
half OF the 500 mans candidacy. AS
the upper peninsula is now thoroughly
organized, and n majority of the voters
are enrolled other plans will be laid
for conducting the Osborn campaign
from this time on.
The efforts of the various Osborn
clubs in the peninsula have been re-
warded by success so far, ana II is
thought that future activities will pro-
duce equally satisfactory results.

TO DIVIDE PRECINCT.

1t is altogether likely that before
the next general election in Calumet,
that steps will be taken by the voters
Of precinct No. II, in the Laurium
town hall, to have the precinct separ
ated. The vote cast yesterday was
not the heaviest recorded, there being
only about 465 votes cast However
the vote in that precinct was about
double that which was cast in the
other precincts of Calumet, and with
hot contest for the township offices,
it Is believed that about twice as many
votes would have been polled. The at
tention of the township board will
probably be called to this situation
and steps may be taken to make two
divisions Of the precinct.

VASSAR GIRLS AT CALUMET
THEATER THURSDAY EVENING

What is generally conceded to be the
best attraction of the Y. NJ. c. A. ly-
ceum season Is the Vassar Girls and

ing and the Calumet theater.
In addition To the large number of
season tickets sold, the association is

The Vassar Girls company Is the
outgrowth of an ideal. About ten
years ago a gentleman of some means
and liberal inclination conceived the
idea of educating a double quartette
OF girls for high class concert work.
With ample means and not impatient
of time, he selected from the wide
circle Of his acquaintance eight girls
of superior character and musical
ability and furnished them means 10
complete their literary and musical
education, guiding the latter i'm the
direction Of their contemplated work
The selection of the personnel Of {
first engagement, Is something unique
in the history OF company organization
and gives the Vassar Girls a distinc-
tion enjoyed by no other. After these |
years OF schooling and specia prepa
ration, the eight original girls ap

and their success was instantaneous |
and eminently justified the time, ex-
pense and work required TO perfec,
