In this manner: Some authority, like

Mr.. Morroket, has become 80 highly

Can't Give the Bond.

This week, in answer TO the petition
signed ~ our people. Judge Ruppen-
thai ffere TO parole old Pete Staah
from the Jail, but the law requires .
good bond TO be filed to keep the peace
and stay out of the business two years.
This bord is to be approved by the Dis
trict Clerk, Sheriff and the Mayor of
Hays, where the offense was commit
ted, but Staab was unable to give such
a bond. Jake has not yet given his
bond in the same case and will return
to Jail this week unless he does 80.
This is a new turn in the prohibition
business in our county. People are re-
fusing to go on these bonds, and the
road Of the liquor seller becomes hard
er, for it. means to stay in Jail.

Four Years More.

Word came this week that the Post
ONCE department had awarded to Jacob
Feitz the contract to carry the U s.
mail from Hays to Pfeiffer for four
years more from next July at an ad-
vanced price. This was pleasing news
to the old man. while it will be equally
pleasing to the patrons along the line
aS he has been q faithful old soul. he
has carried that mail promptly day
after day, rain or shine, and even on
holidays when everybody else seemed
to be resting His carrying of pack
ages for the people along the route has
also proven a great convenience. And
al hope he may live through these four
years more and enjoy the reward Uncle
Sam gives him for his work in helping
enlighten the world.

Ellis County Court Notes in LuraY
Herald; Two men were naturaljzed at
Havs last week, German from Aus
tria and German Pole. For the first
time in several years every naturnliza-
tion case was cleared off the docket.
Rut there are many aliens who still
need final papers,
Russell county has overtaken and
passed Ellis county in the matter of
final naturalization of foreigners. Ellis
county has had thirty one applications
to date and Russell county's list runs
about forty. The four western cOun-
ties Of the district have comparatively
few cases.
A jury at Hays recently were almost
agreed. Finally the non-assenting jur-
ors said they would give in although
they were not convinced, but wanted
to reach a verdict. Another juror
then intervened and insisted (quitr
rightlv) that it was wrong for jurors
to give in, SIMPLY to make verdict.
He held the jury out for hours, until
their minds really met. It is a good
thing to have clear-headed, well-balan-
ced conscientious men like this on the
jury. Although things were coming
his way he was unwilling to have any
verdict except one springing from real
sentiments.

t4ays Item. in Lucas Independent.

| The States attorney was explaining
the prohibitOry law to juror at Hays
who was rot very familiar with Eng
lish. Referring to the law, he asked
the juror, ''Do you like it?'' ''Ohi /
like beer and whiskey sometimes" be
said.
Putting up name labels Of the streets
in Hays has tended to make the resi-
dents and visitors better acquainted
with the town. The Normal schools
work in this matter is a good sample
of the practical side which our state
schools are try ing to put into effect.
Ellis county is almost the only one
in the district in which it is customary
for justices of the peace to pronounce
very heavv jail sentences on offenders,
with the intention that the district
judge shall be appealed to, TO parole
the offender on strict condition of good
behavior. The justices recommend the
paroles. There were four such paroles
in 1907, two in 1903 and nine in 1903
from justice of the peace convictions,
almost all on pleas of guilty.
The Register OF Deeds at Hays has
begun to keep loose leaf records Of
deeds and mortgages in typewriting.
Not nearly as much space is required
and the records are more easily read
Each page is numbered and besides
this all pages in any one book have 3
work peculiar TO that took. TheseI
numberings and markings are regarded
as a check on any Possibility Of alter
ing records by substituting different
leaves.

Henry Reemsnyder and his children
were pleased this week to each receive
a 238 page book, handsomely bound
It was printed back in Chic and gives
a complete family history of the Reem-
snyder family from 1912 to the present
time. 1t gives the date of the birth of
every child and all about them and
their family history from that time un-
til now. 1t has several psges devoted
to the Reemsnyders here, their mar
riages and family matters, and the
book is surely valuable present to
each of them.
