A Letter From Barney
New York City, May Is, 191

Dear Fairbanks: | thought it about
time to send YOU few lines to let YOU
know we are still alive.
We had very pleasant trip across the
continent and our friends met us at the
depot here. We had no trouble. but
God pity the poor devil who has no
friends in New York and no place to go
| do not think he could find a place
himself. | am getting acquainted some
now and actually go a block or two
away from home without having some
BODY along to show me the way. |
think we have seen all there is to be
seen. but there is lots to see here.
Today we went out to the Bronx Park.
and tell YOU it is a beauty. There is
menagerie which contains animals from
all parts of the world. We have seen
most of our relations, and vet | find my
wife has 81 cousins here, to say nothing
of my relatives. We sail on the 9th of
this month on the PENNSYLVANIA, y and
expect u IldillbhiS AiiN ONh VI
9TH of June. Well, Fred, let me con-
graduate YOU on the final outcome of the
court house fight. | was always salts
fed that Yerington would win. Now, |
hope the new building will be credit
to the county. Also accept congratula-
tons OH your reelection as Mayor, and
give nv regards to the Councilmen~
think this is all for this time. You will
hear from me again when we reach
Europe receive the TIMES regularly
and it is daisy.
Remember us to all of our friends.
We see Mrs. Hernleben occasionally
She is staying with friends i'll Brooklyn.
She also wishes to be remembered.
Yours truly,
B. H. REYAIERS

There is still more trouble about the
marriage that Justice Blanchard per-
formed a couple of weeks ago. Tony
Tomagni, the newly made benedict, be
sides figuring on divorce from his wife,
has sued his brother, Jense Tomagni,
for 81, 500 damages for alternating his
wife's affections, claiming to have
caught the pair in flagrante delicto
in certain lodging house i'll this city a
couple of days after the marriage.
There is no telling where the bride is,
and the last reports regarding the affair
are to the effect that a compromise may
be made regarding the damage suit filed.

Keep the Water Out

Numerous complaints are coming to
this Office about farmers running water
in the public highway. The proper
persons to receive these complaints are
the County Commissioners. There is a
law against allowing water to run into
the county roads and it has a severe
penalty attached to it. Complaints
made to the County Commissioners will,
doubtless, be turned over to the Sheriff
and the nuisance remedied.

Keep Him BUSY

DO you know that it is very essential
that your patents and deeds for your
home or ranch should be recorded? The
Recorder is not busy now, and Won
should keep him busy so he can earn his
salary. Don't overlook these matters

Uncle Sam Economizing

A Thornburg correspondent writes
Uncle Sam has taken away one OF
our mails, SO now we only have mail
every Saturdsy-once 3 week-and
that saves the government $l37.50 a
year. They probably want that to
help out on the contemplated raise
In the salaries of the big government
ofilcials. Oh, the pity Of 1t all!
1--WE wont get THE HERALD until
1t has laid at Axial one week; we
have s daily, 8 weekly, and several
magazines, besides our letters. Ten
day old news! How's that?
LET US all turn Progressive Demo-
crats."
Il can be seen at a glance that the
people Of Axial and Thornburg have
righteous kick coming at the mis-
erable mail service the national gov
ernment Is furnishing them these
days.

@The monument not only celebrates
the anniversary of the second inaugu-

States. on February az. 1869. but it rep
resents the elimination of thirteen years

organization Of patriotic women Of this

gratitude due the Confederate chieftain
By the people for whom he sacrificed
and suffered so much, resolved that his
mesnofy should be perpetuated in this
city by suitable memorial
With this purpose in view the Jeffer-
son Davis Monument Association was
organized April I8, 1858. and the work
of securing the needed funds COM
ruenced at once and wtIiie It was slow
and 1t times discouraging it was pressed
pefsistently BY the noble women of the
association until success finally crowned
their efforts in the finished task of to-
day. In 1900 the association was given
4 site in audubon Park, which was ded-
iceted. but subsequently ii was decided
not to erect the monument there. and

of that city to regulate telephone

versed and remanded for new trial
to the district court at Dallas.
Supreme court held that while there

the initiative, that the question: OF
regulating telephone rates is vested in
the municipality and board of city
commissioners and not through the
