The young people were accompanied to the court house by several members of the company.

The wedding itself was not without its interesting pionts, and some acting, for at the critical moment the young lady made out like she was going to back out. much to the chagrin of the groom. However, the words were finally spoken, and then it came the groom's time to get even, and he' did so by grabbing his young wife's face in his hands and kissing her ruby lips several times before the assembled crowd, much to her consternation -and -to the amusement of all present. The large crowd present did not hesitate to offer congratulations-, and the -newly married pair had to shake hand's with a large number, of people before they were permitted to go. Thex-Jfopeka Capital; of a recent date published a long, unfavorable criticism concerning the production of "The District Leader," the musical comedy which appeared at the Dav idson theatre last night.

After giving the play and players a rip-snorting no tice, it closed the article by saying that it hoped the play would never be presented there again. Those who saw the last night and pro nouncedit one of the finest comedies ever seen here, are some what surprised that the Cantal critic snouid know so little concerning plays ana ayers. The first announcement that the National Bank of Commerce at Kansas- City 'had cldsed' its doors this morning was received at the Tribune office, add spread rapidly In business circles. Numerous calls were receiv ed at the office all day to learn partic ulars of the affair. The statement of the bank appeared In the Kansas City papers, but it did not look so well and the closing did not create much surprise.

The Tocal bankers rather expected the bank to close. All of the other banks In the city were found to be in good condition according to the statements published.

OASTOnZA. Boan the llia H3W Florida AGAR I EXTRAWVORK CO. CLERKS FOR WRITING SESSMENT ROLLS. as- RULING OF TAX COMMISSIONERS Records of All the Counties' Must Be Alike. Cheaper Than Having the Assessors Do It.

j. From Thursday's Dally. In order to set the boards of county commissioners right oa the question as to whether or not they have' authority to compensate the cpunty for writing up the real estate assess ment rolls in compliance with theioi der of the commission, the State Tax Commission is sending out following circular letter to the commissioners of each county. ''Information has come to, the Tax Commission that some boards of county commissioners are not certain of ttieir authority to compensate the county clerk for writing up the real estate assessment rolls pursuant to the order of the commission made and published oa October 22, 19078. "The whole tenor of chapter 408, laws of 1907, is the creation of a system of assessment and taxatlch In all counties of the-State.

It 4s made the duty of the Tax Commission' under, heavy penalties to see that the lawiis complied, with in all particulars. The commission myst itself equalize the assessment of property at its actual value ia money, not only among the townships and cities of each' county and among the citizens of those: townships and cities who are taxable, 'but among the counties themselves. 'To this end, it is important that the Work be done alike in all counties in order that the commission may have the same basis to operate from in all counties. It was under the piovisions of the law which requires that the commission shall provide a uniform method of keeping the tax rolls and books relating to taxation In each county of the State' that the order was made. Under the old flan there was anything but uniformity.

"The old law was ambiguous and was variously interpreted. In many counties, it has been the practice for a number of years, for the county clerk to do this work because of the better results, obtained, while In others the woik has been done by the assessors', but In either event the county has paid for the work. The information brought, ta the commission, led to thje unavoidable conclusion, that the inter- evts of the State and of. Itsi demanded this plan be Counties will undoubtedly, save money by this' method. It can not be disputed, that an efficient clerk- un-deiv thjdirectlon of the county clerk can do 'qulc'lieT'' better and atiesS than'carr the deputy assessor.

The commission believes that the compensation which would go to the deputy assessor while writing the rolls, can be better expended by giving it as extra compensation' to the county" clerk. It is believed' that in nearly all the counties, the. amount paid to the county clerk for doing the worn or getting it done in a proper manner, will be less than would have to be paid to the deputy assessors for doing it and certainly the work will be done more efficiently and. with greater dispatch and uniformity. 'It is not the intention of the com mission to impose on any officer un warranted or unnecessary duties.

Being the responsible central authority of the assessment system for the entire-State, the commission may neces sarily have to occupy a different view point from that of local officers, but it will not seek to do anything which the law does not seem to require in or der to make its, operation effective. "In view of what has been as a matter not only of efficiency, but also of economy to the various coun ties, the, order was made as has been noted, and believing that this extra work of tho county clerk should be compensated the. commission now makes and enters of record the fol lowing further order in the premises: "Ordered: That for the work im posed upon the county clerks in mak ing the real estate assessment rol's pursuant to the order of the commis slon of date Qctober 22, 1907, the county clerks shall be paid by the several counties extra compensation in a sum equal to what would be required to secure the services of efficient cler ical help for the performance of such extra work."

It Is altogether conjectural as to when this building campaign will start, but there is no doubt but that it will be pushed to a successful head and the probabilities are that Fort Scott stands an excellent chance of landing this institution.

C. Faulkner, of Topeka, has filed application for a w.rit of mandamus with the Supreme Court to compel the Bank of Topeka to transfer twenty-five shares of Bank of Topeka stock from tne name of Charles Devlin to himself. The application was not properly filed, and the court has not taken any action. Faulkner alleges In his petition that oa June 4, loaned the late C.J. Devlin $2,500, and took as collateral twenty-five shares of Bank of Topeka stock, worth $2,600.

When Devlin failed, the stock was held as a liability, and was sold to the high est bidder. Faulkner bid it In at $100 a share, and his claim against the estate was He then asked the officials of the Bank of Topeka to transfer the stock to his own name, and they refused, on the grounds that the bnnktog law of the State and one of the rules of the bank prohibit a bank froml transferring the stock of a stockholder who owes the bank.

Skinner of the Merchants Transfer and Storage company of Topeka, the proprietors off the Tribune-Monitor have in their possession one of the first copies of the old Monitor, wnteh was founded in 1862.

The old' copy was received by the Tribune-Monitor this morning and It is quite a curiosity, for it bears the date of August 29, 1866, forty-one yeails' ago, long before many of Uhe Fort Scott people were born. The paper Is in a state of tine preservation and it will likely be turned over to the Bourbon Counly Historical Society as a relic. In the letter accompanying the paper Mr. Skinner states that he came across it in his warehouse while he was over hauling some goods. He writes "1 felt that It would be of interest to your readers, as it is not often that such old newspapers would be so well pie- erved.

If it is not of interest to you please return it to me." Indeed TrlbUne-Mointor is under obligations to Mr. Skinner for his though'tfulness( as the' paper will be of interest to' everybody' in the city and county.
