causing considerable confusion.

Kiowa Abstract Coz while draw
ing $751; a month from the
county as deputy and that he had
made out all abstracts for the
Company since the first of the
year, acting in that capacity as
secretary for said company.
While this question was being
argued by the commissioners, the
county treasurer, Mr.. Carnahan
stepped in, claiming that he had
more work in his Office than the
clerk had and he also should have
a deputy, the commissioners gran

was promptly turned down by
Mr. Carnahan who said he was
well satisfied with his salary and

INTERESTING LECTURE HEARD
Ernest ]. Sias Delights Appreciative
Audience.

An interesting lecture was deliver
ed at Woodman hall to a moderate
sized audience Wednesday night by
Ernest ]. Sias, under the auspices of
the lyceum course of Dallas College.
A charming prelude to the lecture
was a guitar and mandolin duet
rendered by A. 7. Nunnelly, of Port
land, and DIR. E. James Scheetz, OF
this city. The number was highly
appreciated and they were compelled
to respond to an encore.
"The Lost Chord" was the title
of Mr.. Sias' lecture, and he treated
the subject in captivating manner,
illustrating his points with many
apt stories, pathetic and gay. He has
a strong and well toned voice and
knows how to use it to the best ad-
vantage.
The lecturer is a brother of Rev.
Sias, who a few years ago was the
minister Of the Christian church OF
this city.

measure Intended to aid the deputy

must be given. The house taxation

erations" etc.
AS a. measure of rectifying false re-
turns. insurance policies, as indica-
tive of the minimum value of prop
erty, are to be used by taxing officials
of personal property much reliance
will be had on the provision of the
Edwards bill, authorizing deputy as
SCISSORS to administer oaths. Many
men will make false statements on
blanks left at their homes to be mail
ed to the assessors, but they would
hesitate to hold up their hands and
take an oath to the same statements
for perjury Is a felony.
When most men argue that the

bile. they forget the other tax meas
ures which will make 1t practicable
by increasing the personal property
returns Standing alone the smith
per cent. tax rate bill might be a
failure, but with the machinery OF
other tax measures II will be a sue
