TREASURERS SEEK
j-OMETHING TO DO
Guthrie, Okla., Jan. 17.—Since the
enactment of a law remitting state
taxes for 1907 and extending the time
of payment of other taxe* of that year
to March 1, 1908, county treasurers
have nothing to do. A committee of
them, headed by Treasurer Hover of
Comanche county, is here for the pur-
pose of asking the enactment of a law
that will provide duties of county
treasurers under the new condition.
One thing in particular they desire is
a law authorizing aud empowering
them to make necessary changes and
alterations on their books so that the
records may be made to conform to
the new order of things.
a complaint reached the attorney
general today fn;ui Perry. It asked
that the county treasurer be ordered
to receive no more taxes due for the
year 1907. The attorney general re-
plied that he knew of no law that
would prevent county treasurers re-
ceiving such taxes, even though pay-
ment has been extended. If the treas-
urers were willing to receive them.

ly upon its passage, Senator Thomas
has effected the adoption of a rule
which provides that a separate two
thirds vote shall be taken uj on a bill
containing an emergency clause in
order to confirm the adoption of the
bill as an emergency measure. After
u bill has been constitutionally pass-
ed then the senate or house by a
vote of iwo thirds of all members
elected shall decide whether it is
emergency legislation.
This rule makes it probable that
when the prohibition bill reaches
the senate the prohibition feature will
be adopted with tile emergency clause
but the dispensary feature eliminat-
ed from the emergency class.

of the interior in threatening to can-
cel the leases of oil companies un-
less they drill wells on them, statis-
tics collected covering the develop-
ment in the Mid-Continent field for
December show the biggest slump in
this line that has been seen for a
year and a half.
In the Glenn pool field there were
bu.. flfVy-st-ven wells completed, and
of these three were dry and one a
gasser. The close of the month saw
only thirt-five wells drilling and
seventyy-nine rigs standing. The new
production has declined to 14,615 bar-
rels. The Osage district is the only
division that showed an increase in
development, and this was due to
the bringing in of a big well near
Bartlesville, which came In with a
2.500-barrel natural flow per day,
but has dropped off to steady pro-
di ctlou of 1,000 barrels. In the Osage
theree were twenty new wells com-
pleted and a new production of 2,-
650 barrels. There are fifteen wells
drilling and fifteen rigs standing.
There were five dry wells and one gas
ser brought In In that field. The

large factor in this field on account
of its large holdings, has suspended
operations and is drilling uo new well

bis marriage wit i the penniless Agues
Cowies. Charles rent to tbe civil war
and was kiliet*. Six months after his
death I was boru. Our cottage aud the
income were at this time settled on
my mother by old Gessner. Before 1
was old enough to remember them the
Gessners had gone to the city to live.
Charles Gessners younger brother
Henry was the ouly living child
When Charles Gessner was two years
old an aunt had left him most of what
there was in the Gessner estate, but
afterward was persuaded to alter the
will to read "to his oldest son." This
property Henry Gessner was now en-
Joying.
My mother on tbe last day of her life
j gave me the key to a box which, she
said, contained a secret she had pledg-
ed herself not to reveal and which
would now descend to me. When !
opeued the box and came upon the
revelation I found there. I was tilled
with but one idea—revenge. As soon
as I could get away, taking the name
Walworth. I went to the city and was
lucky in securiug a situation and in
making friends, who Introduced me
Into the best society. This 1 wished in
order to gain access to the Gessners.
One of the most attractive young
girls Just "out" the seasou of my entry
luto society was Lucia Gessner, Hen-
ry's only child. Through her I re-
solved to revenge my mother. She was
not only at an age w hen conquest Is
easy, but she seemed to be drawn to
me from the iirst. Before spring came
she cousented that I should go to her
father to ask for her hand, but as-
sured me the case was hopeless.
The uext day I asked for Lucia and
was refused. It took me six months
to Induce her to consent to a clandes-
tine marriage, but 1 had a devil's
tongue in my head and never for a
moment lost sight of my mother's I
wrong, 'non after our marriage, with !
out a w r.. warning to any human
being, I .. appeared. I sailed for
Europe.
Thus far I had been so blinded by
the spirit of vengeance that I had no
thought for anything elfe. A revulsion
came the first night out ou the ocean.
I was sitting on deck when, casting
my eyes up at tbe stars, they seemed
to say, "Villain." A suddeu realiza-
tion of what I had done rushed upon
me, and I was overcome with remorse,
shame aud beyond all tbe thought that
I loved my wife and had made a bar-
rier between her and me tbr* would
never l e passed. The days that re-
mained to the end of my journey, the
days 1 spent on the return trip, were
uot days to me. but mouths.
As soon as I reached home 1 sent
word to my wife to be ready to re-
ceive me in secret and late at night
was Introduced to her chamber. I was
appalled at her appearance. Throwing
myself at her feet, "near me." I said,
"then yon are free to condemn me as
I deserve to be condemned." And. still
on uiy knees, with my head bared. 1
told her of my mother's wrong—how a
woman's life had been made one of
suffering when it uil^'hi have bee:;
made happy, then confessed my plot,
ending with the discovery that had
come to me so suddenly that my wife's
love was, after all, far stronger than
a revenge that I had conceived to be a
sacred duty.
During the hysterical sceue that fol-
lowed I fouud but one source of com-
fort. My wife clung to me as If 1 had
not treated her despicably and when I
offered her her freedom only cried.
"No. no, uo!"
The next day I made the best ex-
planation I could Invent to my friends
as to my singular vanishment and one
evening soon after stood iu Henry
Gessners private study and confessed
that I was married to his daughter
"Who are you?" he asked as soon as
he could master his voice.
"From my birth I ba\e been called
Charles Cow ies. but 1 am Charles Gess-
ner, your brother's son and your neph-
ew. My wife is my cousin."
I threw ou a table beside which he
sat a certificate of my mother's mar-
riage with his brother and an agree-
ment she had made with kis father
soon after her husband's death to keep
the marriage a secret and remain un-
der her maiden name on condition of
a home and an income. She had cho-
sen between starvation for her and her
babe and disgrace.
If my uncle had been pale before, he
was paler now.
"You are the rightful heir to this
property." he said.
"I shall never claim it. Use It as
long as you live, and at your death It
will go to your daughter."
He looked at me steadily for a long
while, then suddenly put out his hand.
"It was my father's sin." he said. "1
was In complete ignorance of it. I for-
give you the pain you have caused my
daughter."
"For that I shall never forgive my-
self."
By a mutual arrangement the Gess-
ner property that belonged to me was
settled on ray wife and her heirs

more In course of construction, aud
two tunnels under the river have been
completed. The first to be finished
was the Belmont tunnel, from Forty-
second street, Manhattan, to Long Is-
land City, aud cars were run through
this tube last autumu. But uo systeir.
of lnterborough rapid transit by this
tunnel has yet been established. The
tunnels at Thirty-third street, Manhat-
tan, for the use of the trains of the
Pennsylvania-Long Island ^ystem will
not be ready for about a year, so that
the Battery tunnel, as it Is called, Is
the first to give uuderrlver transporta-
tion between Manhattan and Brook

long and more or less impatiently
awaited, aud the difficulties met with
In the construction of a tube under so
large a body of water as the East river
have necessitated the postponement
several times of tbe date for starting
trains for the general public. Never-
theless it is the first among the many
tunnels constructed from Manhattan
island to Loug Island and Xew Jersey
to be ready for use iu the expansion of
New York's transit facilities.
The Battery tunnel was l>egUL over
four years ago, and the first train was
run through the tube with a party of
city officials and others specially in-
vited for the occasion ou Nov. 27. 1007
For the present the trains to be op-

The Battery tunnel forms a bran, h of

length of Manhattan Island and into
the borough of the Bronx. The Brook-
lyn subway is completed now only as
far as the borough hall, the present
Brooklyn terminus, but lu a few
months it will be finished as far as
the Flat bush avenue station of the
Long Island railroad, where connee
tion will be made with the seashore
and tbe suburbs in which so man}
commuters dweil.
The capacity of the new line will be
about 30,000 passengers an hour, with
trains running on a two minute head-
way. Sixty steel cars built after the
latest plans for such use have been
constructed for the underrlver traffic,
and eight car trains will be run. At
times during the trip under the river
passengers are about 100 feet beneath
the surface of the water. Ferryboats
ply to and fro far above them, but
the days of the ferryboat on the East
river ore almost numbered.
In the case of a tube beneath a river
ventilation is a problem that has to
be dealt with in the most efficient mftn-

power, but thorough ventilation is
needed nevertheless, and at the water's
edge on both the Manhattan aud
Brooklyn sides large ventilating shafts
have been sunk. They contain ma-

short circuit all of the smoke cause*1
