sff42.02 on delinquent realty tax and s42S.12 on delinquent personality tax money due the county. according to the stubs on the receipt books of the county treasurer. This makes total of approximately S21750 that has been collected by the county on so.called delinquent realty and per sonalty tax money collected by former sher ifs of Washington county following the recent decision of County Judge J. T. flight to force payment on tax moneys collected on delinquent realty and personally, and for which the county was never given credit.
 The question as to whether former Sheriff Caudle will be held respon- sible for an item of .$700 % personally tax said to have been collected from the receivers of the Kansas City ( Memphis Railway Compan. has not yet been decided, according, to Special Counselor for the county Homer Pearson Mir. Pearson today stated that officials of the K C. X NJ claim that they paid the tax through Mr. Caudle's deputy, Homer Jackson, who is now deputy to the present incumbent Mack Morton According remember receiving the money, though he stated that if the fact that it was received during his ten ure of office is established he will make the claim good Deputy Sher- if Jackson is now out of the city collecting taxes, but is expected to be at home Sunday. Mir. Pearson will make an effort to see him rela tive to the matter at his first oppor- tunity.
 Aside from this there is but one satisfied the county's claim against him-Jas. Reed, of Claremore, Okla, who was Mir. Caudles predecessor. Mir. Reed has been seriously i'll in a hospital in St Louis for the past sey eral weeks, and it is not known whether he has yet returned to his home. He has been notified of the claim Of about $33S % against him and Mr. Pearson has learned through local parties that MT. Reed will pay the money to the county. Owing 10 Mir. Reeds illness, the matter will probably not be settled for at least. a few weeks. Fayetteville Demo erat.

VISIT UNIVERSITY

Some of the Visitation Committee from the Legislature departed last evening for the capital, and others remained until tonight, when they will take leave All, however, have been given good opportunity to see for themselves the condition of the State University, and have had cor reeted many false impressions which seem to obtain over the state, in re gard to how appropriations are spent. For instance, Senator Davenport stat ed that there is a current idea that the dormitories are kept up by part Of the appropriated funds. That Car nall Hall and Buchanan Hall are self supporting is not generally known, and the senator said a great many persons over the state, supposed that high living in the dormitories was made possible by funds supplied by the state
 For the Committees information, the accounts of both dormitories were produced, showing both to be selfsupporting, and run on basis of strietest economy, according to funds paid in by inmates themselves.
 During the visit of the Investiga- tors, an entertainment was accorded them at Carnall Hall-Pres. Futrall, Dr Brough, Prof. Gladson, Prof. Will Hams, Dr. c. H. Richardson, and Lyt- ton Reagan being guests also and among the evenings speakers. Din- her was served, and toasts called for from Senators Davenport, Wagner and w. R Steed; Representatives J. Lloyd Shouse, Humphreys, E. b Alex ander, Toler, and J. ]. Dipboye
 Almost without exception the visit ors expressed themselves as in favor of a liberal appropriation for the up- keep and upbuilding of the State Uni versity and expressed q surprise at the dilapidated condition Of many de partment quarters.
 Miss Sue Bell, president of Carnalll Hall represented the girls. and in a clever toast, expressed a welcome to the visitors, and embodied an ap- peal for funds for an Annex.
 An hour was spent in Recreation Hall, the visitors departing at s, and the young ladies returning to their studies.-Fayetteville Demo- crat Saturday.
