AUTOPSY PERFORMED.
Found That w. II. White
side Died from Natural Causes.

A sequel to the deaths Of William II.
Whiteside and William Lawson, the two
elderly Shelburne men who passed away
within few hours of each other late
Sunday night and early Monday morning,
was an autopsy performed on the body
of Mr.. Whiteside Tuesday by DR.. b. II.
Stone of the State laboratory and DR..
Charles F. Whitney. The autopsy was
made at the instance of States Attorney
Theodore f. Hopkins, following the re-
fusal of the health officer of Sheburne
to grant death certificate until an
autopsy had been performed.
Mr.. Whteside died at the residence of
his son-in-aw. W. II. Bacon, near Shell
burne pond. The autopsy was performed
at the house in the presence of the State $
attorney. So far as disclosed, the de-
ceased died from natural causes. He had
suffered from Bright's disease a long
time and the examination of the doctors
showed that it was case of uraemic
poisoning The official report of DR.
Stone has not Yet been made to the
States attorney and will not be until
there has been an examination of the
stomach of the deceased.
1t was brought to the attention Of the
States attorney that Mr.. Whiteside had
made two Wills only recently, and that
both had been filed for probate in this
city this week. One was made the 23rd
of June and the other the 9th. In the
first one the property was willed to Mrs

technical experts-and nobody can better
judge Of that fact than the joint con-
gressional committee which will soon sub
init its report for the consideration If
Congress.
Congressman Moon states that the in
PRODUCTION of his bill was delayed as
long as possible and that the policy Of
delay has been practiced by the railroads
for sixteen years. The fact is that the
railroads have been seeking by every
proper means during the past p years to
obtain from Congress fair treatment on
this subject. The railway companies
have for the last eighteen months been
urging the postmaster general to no
longer delay giving attention to adequate
ly compromising them for carrying the
Increased burden of the parcel post They
have, indeed. brought to public attention
every reason that they could suggest why
Congress should indefinitely delay any
action to give them less than their serv-
ices are worth
Congressman Moon further asserts that
the only material difference between the
joint congressional committee and the
committee Of Congressman Moon is that
the commission proposes higher rate
the commission has not yet reported its
recommendations, and that the rates of
pay proposed by Congressman Moon
bill are absolutely confiscatory.
We are in full accord with the con-
illusions of Chairman Moon that the old
method of weighing the malls once in
four years is altogether unfair, UNI
scientific and unbusinesslike. We have
urged for many years that the mails
should be weighed every year for the
whole country and the pay adjusted ac-
cordngly. The claim is also unfounded
that the railroads divert the mails so
as to pad them when the regular weigh
ing Is in progress. The railroads have no
control over the movement of the mails
the routing is all done by the officers of
the postoffice department. The depart
ment officers will readily verify this
statement
The railroads are prepared to abide by
the conclusion of the joint congressional
committee upon the fact as to whether
or not they are now overpaid. They are
also eager to cooperate with the govern
ment in arriving at a policy to govern
future methods of payment which will
protect the government, and at the same
time secure to the railroads that pay TO
which they are justly entitled

TWO EASILY MADE BIRD HOUSES

1t Is simple matter to induce the
birds to build their nests near our
homes II we but provide suitable shell
ters. These must be so situated that
the birds will not only have ample
protection from cats and other bird en-
emies, but have the feeling Of security,
and Of course the houses must be firm
ly fastened so they will weather the Sc
verest of storms. If you have a back
yard, the problem of finding secluded
locations Is an easy one, and a gar
den near by that will furnish seeds and
insects, and fresh supply Of water for
drink and bath are additional induce
ments which will make your chances
Of securing bird tenants almost GER
tain.
A common box, properly arranged, Is
Just as much of an attraction to birds
rs a house on which large amount Of
time has been spent in working out
ornamental roofs, steeples and door
ways, but of course for the sake of ap-
pearances, house should be of neat
design and be carefully built.
The bird ark shown in Fig. 1 is
one Of the simplest houses a boy can
make. A starch box, or a box Of
about the same proportions, should be
used for this. Partition Off the inside
Of the box into two compartments, as
shown in Fig. 2, and bore a hole
through each end, near one corner, for
| doorways. Then nail the cover boards
to the bOy Won will DOtica that tho
box Is mounted cofnerwise upon its
support this is done so the ada
cent sides Of the box will form q pitch
ed roof that will shed water readily.
The caves of the roof are formed by
mailing strips Of the length of the roof
boards to their edges, and for the pro-
jections over the ends four strips
should be cut similar to that shown In
Fig. 8, and nailed to the end edges
Of the roof boards.

RAMEY ELECTED MAYOR
BRIZENDINE CLERK
Democratic Ticket Wins by Majority of 65 Votes Total
of 421 Votes Cast

The most interesting city elec-
tion ever held in Clovis and one
which brought out the largest
vote ever recorded in the elec.
tion of city officers was that
held Tuesday when Cash Ramey,
the democratic nominee for
Mayor was elected bv a majority
of 65 votes over A.: w. johnson,
the Citizens Ticket Candidate.
The issue was not a political
one, neither was It upon the
qualifications of either candidate
who anyone in Clovis will admit
are numbered among our best
citizens and most substantial
and progressive business men.
The Citizens ticket raised the
issue of moral reform" but
judging from the result of the
vote, the majority of the vot-
ers failed to accept that as an
issue as it is conceded that the
morals of some that supported
both tickets would not stand a
very rigid investigation and the
application certainly does not
refer to either of thacandidates,
however, notwithstanding that
it was vigorously denied that
prohibition was not an issue in

THE COUNTY FAIR WAS
A COMPLETE SUCCESS
Exhibs Of Farm Orchard Live Stock and Poultry Was
Magnificent Thousands Witness Best Display
Ever Held

The corn display attracted more
than ordinary attention and it
was an uncommon thing to hear
someone remark that the corn
was as good as any grown in the
great eastern corn growing
states and that the display as a
whole exceeded all expectations.
1t was an eye opening surprise
to people who did not know that
this country was capable of pro-
ducing such crops.
LIVE Stock
The live stock a n d poultry
were exhibited at the Oklahoma
Wagon Yards adjoining the fair
grounds. but the number entered
exceeded all estimates o T the
Committee and the preparations
were inadequate. Reservations
were made for about forty five
animals whereas there were one
hundred and seventy entered in
competition f o r prizes. One
could readily observe the rapid
improvement in the grade o f
stock now and at previous fairs.

The Deedlework, fruits, pre-

held in the Armory adjoining the
fair grounds. 1t was in charge
of the ladies', who had many at
tractive pieces Of fancy work
and q good selection of fruits,
preserves and exhibits for their
departments. The building was
thronged with interested ladies'
during the entire fair.
SCHOOLS
1t was the first time that the
schools had participated in the
big show and they did so with
absolute satisfaction to both
faculty and public. They had
their graded display in the ladies'
rest room in the Reidoria Hotel
opposite the fair grounds, where
each grade exhibited samples of
the work of its students. The
improvement was rapid a n d
could be readily traced from the
first grade up. The work of the
little second graders in Miss
Kings room showed probably
the greatest improvement which
no doubt was largely due to the
splendid training earlier receiv-
ed in the first grade under the
tutorship of Miss Verda Norris.

They desire that a consulting en-
gineer entirely unknown and unpre-
JUDGED here, be called in by the coun-
Gil and the Board Of Trade to make d
report on the comparative cheapness
and efficiency OF their proposition and
the present system.
They want this done &C once, before

hour the house was crowded, some

There were ten accessions to the

The church was full again at the
evening hour for preaching and one
accession to the church. All the
claims ordered by the annual con-
ference are paid in full. The pres
ent membership of the church is
now 448, sixty-nine have been added
during the present year.
To the pastor and family, this has
been a very pleasant year indeed, we
have learned to love the people Of
OcaIa very much. In this note we de-
sire to express our sincere thanks to
the people of our own church, and to
the people of Ocala for the kindness
we have received, and if the bishop
returns US for another year, we viii
come cheerfully- There are great
possibilities for the church in Ocala,
if the members are loyal and faithful.

SACRED SESSION OF THE ELKs


The scored session of the local
lodge of Elks, held Sunday afternoon
at the club home on North Main
street, was largely attended and the
well arranged program was carefully
carried out by the lodge and those
assisting. DR.. L. H. Won Engelken,
esteemed leading knight, who was
chairman of the committee in charge
Of the arrangements, acted as exaItz
ed ruler and master Of ceremonies in
the absence from the city of Exalted
Ruler David S. Williams, and filed
the position most acceptably.
The lodge room, in which the SER
vices were held, was appropriately
decorated with ferns and potted
plants and purple, the lodge color,
was in evidence at the stations of the
different officers of the lodge and on
the engraved programs.
Rev. Bunyan Stephens, pastor of
the Baptist church, was the speaker
of the occasion, and his remarks
were most beitting. Rev. Stephens
referred to the fact that it was a
great honor to him to be called upon
for the third time to address the
members of Ocala lodge at the ses-
sion commemorated to their absent
brothers, instancing that the senti-
ment there expressed went hand in
hand with the church's reverence for
the dead.
Rev. Stephens spoke of the homage
paid the dead by the different nations
of the world, and showed that in
death the peoples of all nationalities
were prone to write the faults OF
their brothers upon the sands and
their virtues upon the tablets of love
and memory, laying flowers upon the
bier and keeping green the memory
of those who had been called home
