teemed Citizen.
Nevada County has, in the occu-
pants of its public offices, a set of
men whose private and public ca
reers have been watched by the peo-
pie for years. and the result of such
observations has been not only TO
heighten their standing as private cit
liens, but to firmly establish the fact
that the state has no more honorable.
Trustworthy and public-spirited men
than they. OF all the various offices
perhaps none more directly concerns
the people than that of the county
treasurer. and in his two terms in
office Mr.. w G. Felts has time and
again demonstrated that the people
of the county made no mistake when
they placed him there and reelected
him 10 the second term. Mr.. Felts
was born in Georgia, but came to
Prescott from that state eighteen
years ago, and has been engaged in
farming most of the time since. todar
owning a good farm OF 81 acres -four
miles east of the city. Prompthess

Windsor, Dec. 4-In speaking Of
the mouse pest that has been
troubling many families here for
the last few weeks. Robert Harris,
the veteran trapper. declares that
traps are better than cats when it
comes TO ridding a house Of mice.
Harris says that in his own home
they have kept the Lightning trap
constantly at work. to the destruc-
ton of the little pests as fast as
they appear. He states that one
day several years ago he caught is
in one day. His bait consists of
rind OF cheese, ham, bacon or
cheese mixed with butter. he says,
works we'll also.
THAT discounts any old felines
that ever graced the back porch or
lay in wait in the weeds for day
light to appear so it could catch the
trst chicken that came in search of
worm says Harris.

THIRTY SHOWS THIS WINTER
SAYS A WEATHER PROPHET

Briggsdale. Dec. "A Briggs
dale weather prophet declares that
there are to be thirty SHOWS this
winter. He bases his deductions on
the fact that the first snow fall Of
the winter was on october so, and
according to an old axiom says that
the day OF the month on which the
first snow falls corresponds with
the number of SHOWS to come dur
ing the winter. By keeping count
Of the SHOWS every year for few
years somebody might be able to
prove this system of weather fore
casting fallible by scoring more
than 81 SHOWS some winter.

KICKING

YEAR liz
EGYPTIAN RECORDS FOUND
SHOWING PEOPLE OBJECTED
TO HIGH FREIGHT RATES AND
COST OF LIVING

Philadelphia, Dec. 4-From .
manuscript recently obtained by the
University of Pennsylvania from
Theadelphia, small city in Egypt,
it would appear that the high cost
OF food and excessive freight rates
were an issue in Egypt 1900 years
ago.
The manuscript is the report Of a
sitologus, or collector Of revenue,
who represented the local govern
ment at Alexandria and worked on
percentage plan.
He wasn't popular with the COM
mon people, but as there were NO
elections in those days, the sitolo-
gus did not mind. The people had
been exploited for 5000 years and
were used to it.
The document, in part. consists
OF list of grain collected in sever
al villages and the freight to be
charged on each to carry it to Alex
andria. The district is about twen-
ty miles west of the Niie, which
formed the trunk line in those days.
The most interesting feature is
that disclosed in a paragraph partly
mutilated, which seems to register
objection by one of the taxpayers.
1t seems that he was an absentee
landlord who had a farm some dis
tance away He objected to the
high taxes assessed and to the ex-
cessive freight charges.
1t does not appear to have done
him any good, for there was not in
Egypt at tnst time an Interstate
commission. The sitologus correct
ed his figures in his records to cover
up his profit.

Johnstown, Dec. 4-That the re-

the question of buying hose for use
by volunteer fire company was
favorable to those advocating the
advisability of doing so, is evidenc-
ed by the fact that Mayor w. T.

HOIST C0lORS
ABOVE G. H. s.

Greeley now has new high
school building, formally as well as
in fact. At the board meeting on
Wednesday night the completed edi-
flee was accepted by the school
board from the contractors without
a dissenting voice. and they will
now get the. remainder of the con-
tract price.
The high school floated the ma
tional emblem yesterday for the
first time. In the original plans
there had been no provision for
flag pole, but this has been reme-
died and President Mayher of the
board has had a 35 foot steel staff
put in place and yesterday morning
he went personally and hoisted his
own private flag. as the district does
not as yet possess one sufficiently
large for the purpose.
Work of removal from the old
high school will be complete by to-
morrow evening and Greeley's best
crop will find themselves on Mon
day morning housed in the finest
high school edifice In the state.

CHORUS GIRLS
AID IN SERMON

Minneapolis. Dec. 1.-Two chorus
girls danced rag time dances on the
platform Of the pulpit of Rev. G. l..
Morrill, In Minneapolis Sunday, IL
lnstrating his sermon on Praise
Him With the Dance.
The most bold dances were exc
cuted by the girls, who are playing
at q Minneapolis burlesque house.
and the congregation fairly gasped.
The Turkey Trot". the "Crah
Crawl, the Tortoise Tango, the
-, ~ Wobble", the "Anxleworm
s.!1akls". the ''0rizzly" and others
were given.
Then Mr.. Morrill, began his ser
mon.
"Now you have witnessed just
how fashionable society carries on
when 1t gets started" said Mr.. Nor
rill.
II admit there is decent dance,
a dance helpful to the body, pleas
ant to the mind and harmless to the
soul, but these rag dances that you
have witnessed, not at all exag-
gerated. would make the devil blush
and he would hesitate to introduce
them into hell.
There was time when statues
OF graceful dancers were made, but
today there is a crying demand for
statutes against dancing which is
disgraceful. The dancing whirlpool
of society has drawn into its drown
ing depths many OF the best craft
that ever sailed life's sea. The
dance you have witnessed has de-
generated from devotion and diver
sion into dissipation and debauch-
cry.
These rag dances are animal in
name and nature and often as much
more passionate than the Oriental
dance as Vesuvius is warmer than
an iceberg.
I'VE seem almost ready for the
naked dance proposed by Plato in
his ideal republic. The animal
world Is libeled. Mr. Bear and Mrs.
Turkey were never guilty Of such
antics and doubtless look with sur
prise and shame at the dances
which bear their name"
AS the two chorus girls perform
ed the rag dances now and then
coin would fly toward the pulpit.
while the big organ Of the church
pealed forth rag time music to ac-
company the dance.

8 FOOT EAGLE
IN GAME TRAP

Meeker, Dec. A mammoth
bald eagle. measuring eight feet
from tip to tip, was captured Satur-
day afternoon by George Reenau,
a dry farmer living near Meeker.
He had trap set for coyotes. and
when he went out to look at his
trap he found the eagle Mapping and
beating desperately In an effort to
free itself from the trap.
The eagle had been caught by
the talons, and in its frenzy had al
most severed both members. The
brush and weeds for several yards
GROUND the trap was beaten down
fiat
This is the largest eagle that has
been captured in this part of the
country for a long time.

Mrs. Margaret Hunter is in the
Greeley hospital. She has been i'll
for a number of days and was taken
to the hospital Sunday. from her
home, 1886 Eighth avenue. Mrs.
Hunter is one of the pioneers of
Greeley. She is the widow of S.
ID. Hunter. Mr.. Hunter built the
opera house block, and it was large
ly through his efforts that the first
Episcopal church building was
erected here in 1877. Four years
later Mr.. Hunter presented the
Episcopal church with the large
rectory, to the east of the church,
as a memorial to his daughter. This
building was sold and the present
rectory erected. which is called the
Agnes Hunter Memorial.
