| The office of the county treasurer
was checked up about two months
ago, so that will be a comparatively
short job to bring the accounts of
that office up to date.
In the case of the sheriff the ac-

other officials the checking will be-
gin where the last expert left off.
The officials and the people of

having this done at the close of the
official term as now if there is any
question as to the accuracy of the
books or the fees or salaries claimed
it can be settled at once and all
parties will know just where they

William A. Ray, John Keith and
Chuck Ashley entered a plea of
guilty In the superior coprt this
afternoon and were each given a
sentence of one year in the state
reformatory at Granite, by Judge
Huett.
All three of the boys have been
in the county Jail for Bome time
and Ksith appeared in court with
his head bandaged because of a fel-
low proisoner having kicked him
in the head.
He is but twenty years old and
had been arrested for having brok-

he got nothing but what he termed
a lot Of junk which had no special
value.
Ray had been arrested on a
charge of having forged the name
of an emplaye of the Frisco to an
order for board and lodging at the
Lincoln hotel and on which he had
lived for about two weeks.
He is but 19 years old.
Chuch Ashley, who is 23 years
old, was chaiged with having

money, stating in court that he
had spent it on a woman of the

Washington, Nov. 21.—The prac-
tice of postmasters obligingly com-
plying with requests from patronB
and others for letters of endorse-
ments, testimonials and guarantees
as to honesty, reliability, etc., has
become so prevalent that It has
finally attracted the attention of
the postofflce department, with the
result that the department has ad-
vised postmasters that they must
not sign such papers or statements
in their official capacities.
Inquiry of postofflce department
officials brought to light the fact
that a testimonial or endorsement of
a patent medicine, a stomach "bit-
ters," or some such tonic by post-
masters is the best kind of a draw-
ing card, and Is worth the money
In the way of promoting the sale of
such endorsed articles Not only

cine seek these endorsements, but

Laredo, Tex., Nov. 21.—Sweeping
southward and gathering momentum
with each new recruit added to its
ranks, a revolutionary army under
the leadership of Francisco Madero,
head of the anti-Diaz movement In
Mexico, Is tonight moving upon
Mexico and It is expected to cross
the Rio Grande river before dawn.
This invasion may perhaps prove
to be the spark that will set off
the revolution planned for tomor-
row and throw the republic into
a civil war which would have for
Its object the extermination of the
revolutionary army or the over-
throw of the Diaz government and
succession of the Madero followers
into the control of the government.

Boston, Nov. 21.—Governor-elect
Eugene N. Foss Issued a statement
tonight in which he demands that
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge with-
draw from the field for re-election.
in the event of a refusal Mr. Foss
declared he would go into every
section of the commonwealth In a
campaign to defeat the senator.
Mr. Foss' statement in part, fol-
lows:
"In the name of the majority of
the sovereign people of the common-
wealth of Massachusetts, 1 demand
that Henry Cabot Lodgs surrender
his seat in the United States senate
by withdrawing from his contest for
re-eletcion.
"His election to the senate would
be a repudiation of the great vic-
tory of the "people at the last elec-
tion. He was on trial as much If
not more than Governor Draper, and
if he had been the candidate my
majority would have been double
what it was.
Downward Revision.
"The iBsues on which the fight
was made, on ^hich I was elected,
were honest tariff revision down-
ward, lower duties on the necessar-
ies of life free raw materials, an
untaxed food supply, reciprocity
with Canada and more democracy
In our form of government.
"We all know where Senator
Lodge stands on these Issues and
where he has Btood all these years.
To re-elect him would be a step
backward, and Massachusetts has
never learned to walk backward.
"I shall never sign his creden-
tials. except at the end of a cam-
paign which will make the last one
look like an afternoon tea party.
"He must surrender or fight. He
must defend his position before the
people. The people of Massachu-
setts will not permit him longer to
manipulate the legislature. I am
ready, and if he does not retire,
will be on the stump in every sec-
tion of the state, and we will find
out where the people stand.
"Senator Lodge is not in touch
with the new order of things, with
the progressive spirit of the times.
He does not represent the people,
the men and women in the-ordlnary
walks of life."
