Tax Commissioner UnearthS Fraud.

During the past week the af-
fairs Of several counties have
been audited by the state Tax
Commissioner and his several
accountants. The first to be re-
ported on was Pendleton county.
According to the audit Of that
county the sheriff owes the state
$6.68 and Pendleton county So
1902. Clerk j. E. Bolton is
shown to be in debt to the county
S2.752.06. 1t was in the audit of
Bottoms office that huge gratis
and frauds were uncovered. It
is alleged that they systematical-
ly charged and raised orders
drown on the county funds; that
orders were drawn on the sher-
III in favor Of stationary COM
panies for supplies that were
never furnished and these orders
were signed by Bolton for the
companies. 1t is also charged
that the sheriff changed and fall
siiied the recapitulations Of the
land and personal property books,
thereby defrauding the tax pay
ers out of several hundred dol
lars.
AS Startling as were the facts
set out by the Pendleton county
audit, they fade into insignif-
canoe when compared with the
audit Of Hancock county which
was finished last Wednesday.
1t shows ex-Sherif A. Z. Wilkin
to be indebted ID the county
state and districts in the sum of
S24, 900. AS in the Pendleton
county audit there were glarinp
discrepancies betw en- the
amounts shown in the recapitu-
lations of the land and personal
property books and the amounts
with which the sheriff was
charged in his settlements.
More than So, 200 Of the funding
is due to errors Of the nature.
In the report Of the audit of
Upshur county, Tax Commission
er Blue exonerates the late H. f.
Ours, former sheriff, of all I'M
worthy motives. The FINDINGS
against him amounted to more
than $1,000, the bulk Of which isl
comprised Of over payments on
salary as jriler and a duplicate
payment Of $615.O0. Mr.. Ours

The action of the nun. cipal
board Of health in attempting to
improve sanitary conditions in
the town is highly commendable.
The conditions that have existed
along the back alleys of Grants
vile would put far less civil
zed community to shame. 1t has
been said that back yards re-
fleet the character Of their own
ers. Sometimes the front yard
will be bubbling over with posies
and pansies, and the back yards
filled with old tin cans, bones and
slop barrels ver.table puddles of
filth and breeding places for
germs Of every kind of disease.
If either must be neglected, by
all means let it be the front
lawns and streets instead of the
back yards and alleys.

Beaten to a FRAGILE in New York.

Stormy scenes marked the |
New York state primaries on
last Tuesday when delegates to
the Chicago National Convention
were selected. Out Of the ninety
delegates to which New York is
entitled only seven favorable to
Theodore Roosevelt were chosen,
the balance of the delegation be-
ing Taft men. Confusion
reigned everywhere owing to the
delay in delivering the ballo,s
and the Roosevelt leaders declare
that this fact wos responsible for
the defeat of their candidate.
In some districts the ballots were
not delivered until 6 p. NJ. and
the polls closed at 8 p. m. The
ballots used in the primaries
rangcl in length from 10 to IA
feet ard so great had been the
haste to get them out that in
some cases the printers had
failed to paste them together.
When Col. Roosevelt was in
formed of the result he gave out
statement in which he declared
the primary was farce and
claimed onefourth of the dele
gates elected. Chas. H. Duell
on Wednesday demanded that
Governor Dix call another pri-
mary for New York city, but the
advice of the Attorney General
to the Governor was that he had
no power to do so, stating that it
rested with the legislature and
supreme court.
INDIANA.
In the Indiana state conven-
ton held on last Tuesday former
Vice President Fairbanks, Har-
ry S. New, Joseph D. Oliver and
James E. Watson were elected
delegates at large to the Chicago
convention. They were instruct
to vote for the denomination OF
President Taft. The Roosevelt
followers withdrew from the
meeting and organized "rump"
convention, electing a contesting
set of delegates all of whom ia
vor the nomination of the mighty
hunter.
COLORADO
On Wednesday the Republicans
of Colorado met in convention
and elected eight delegates at
large to the national convention.
