iff O. A. Massie and his bondsmen, A.
Barber, Joseph Oopeland, Max Berg,
8. A. Milee and James Dart, adminis
trator of the estate of T. II. Taylor, de
ceased. The deoision of the state cir
cuit court was that the $3000 shortage
of Massle was tax collections, and that
the bondsmen sued were bondsmen on
a general bond, to indemnify Colum
bia county against unlawful act of
Massie In bis general official conduct,
And that the law requires a sieolal
bond to cover tax collections, and Co
lumbia oounty bad not exacted such
a bond, and being tbu delinquent i

Bill Vitobd. Governor Lord has
vetoed the bill allowing mileage to
sheriffs. In hi veto message ha says :
"I cannot approve house bill No. 14,
authorising sheriffs to collect mileage
in view ol the present state of the law.
The salaries of these officer were in
tended a compensation for their ser
vice which they were required to per
form, in lieu of fees and mileage. The
objeol of the law was to abolish the
foe system which includol nii'eage.
By the present law it is proposed to
give mileage to sheriffs in addition to
their salaries, which wa intended to
cover them. Thi i in conflict with
the declared will of the people on th'.l
aitbjeol. If the alarie for any reason
were not sufficiently compensatory,
they should be increased to an amount
commensurate Wlth the duties or ser
vices required to bo performed. In
this way just compensation would be
eecured these ofUcera and the evil of
a return to the fee system avoided.
Mileage, it is thought, furnishes a
cover for the worst abuses of that sys
tem.. Fur these reasons duty requires
f to veto the bilh''
Tin Governor' Veto. The legis
lature passed a bill for the relief of
Miss Iva Tern pic ton, of Linn county,
who sustained severe Injuries by full'
ing through a bridge on a county toad
two or three year ago. The governor
hold that the act is unconstitutional
Inasmuch as the county wherein the
accident occurred is responsible, if
anybody Is, and not the state. Suit
was first brought In the circuit court
of Linn county to recover damage to
the amount of $20,000, and the court
molded that through a technicality In
the law at that lime the county was
not liable, but that section of the law
ha since been amended. The case
was appealed to the supreme court
which sustained the decision of the
lower court. Senator Dawson then
hud a bill passed by the legislature el
lowing Miss Templnton the sum ol
c (hwu to be paid by the state. The gov
ernor't veto will probably put au end
to the matter. ' ' St
Tun Walk Finished, The lust
plank In the walk between St. Helen
and lioulton ha been laid. The walk
ing is now good between the two cities
and it is really a pleasure to lake a
walk out to lioulton since the "last
spike" ha been driven. The distance
ha been shortened somewhat from
the old way, and whether it will prove
a direot benefit in a financial way or
not, it will surely prove a great con
venienoe to the people at either end of
the route. To Mr. W. B. Dillard we
believe I due the credit of inaugural'
ing the scheme to build thi much ap
preciated roadway, while to those who
contributed money and labor I due
the credit for executing the work. It
fa urpriiug what can be done in the
way of improvement if there i some
one to take the initiative. There are a
number of other necessary improve
ments here awaiting someone to in
augurate a plan of action, which we
trust will be done in the near future.
Assessor White Held Up. About
9 o'clock Sunday night aa Assessor M.
White was on hi way out from In
home near Quincy,' to Maygor, to take
the night boat lor St. Helens, two foot-
ads commanded him to throw up his
lands, the highwaymen having taken
their position on either aide of the
road. Mr. White replied that it was
not necessary for him to comply with
their request a he had nothing they
wanted. They then wanted to know
who be was, and were informed it was
none of their buaincss. The footpads
saw he wa not the man they were
looking for and laid they were only
Sklng, Both men were strangers to
r. White and it is believed they were
laying in wait for some one to return
who had gone over the road, but up
to thi time we have heard of no rob
bery being committed.
Should Consolidate. It seems to
us that the correct tbiug for the 8t.
Helens and lioulton school district
to do would be to consolidate and
erect a good, substantial school build
ing somewhere between the two places,
where it would be convenient lor Do to
cities. It is lamentable tbat the school
interest in this vicinity are in such a
state a at present, and we believe the
consolidation of the two district, with
a building suitable for a graded school
would greatly increase the interest and
material benefit to both the districts.
There is little doubt but that some
proposition of thi kind could be ac
complished il the patrons of tho two
school thould see tit to undertake it.
Thieve at Work. Rocontly the
butcher shop of Sweetland fc Shel
don wa burglarised, mention of which
wa made in these column. The
butcher thought the burglarizing of
thoir chop was the extent of their Toss,
but last Tuesday when Mr. Sheldon
had occasion to visit the upper story
of their slaughter house he discovered
that about $50 worth of hides which
had been accumulating for tome time,
were missing. It i thought the same
parties who robbed the butcher shop
also took the hide.
House Burned. The residence of
W. II. Kyser in Beaver valley was de
stroyed by fire last Friday. Mr. Kyser
was away from home at the time, and
Mrs. Kyser bad left some kindling On
the stove and while she stepped out
of the house for a few moment il took
fire, spreading rapidly and in a jiffy
the building was all aflame. The fire
consumed not only the building but
it entire contents, so we are informed.
Lawyer Pay Under Protest. The
controversy continue between the
lawyer and the sheriff as to whether
the new law, which states that the fees
paid for filing papers with the court
clerks, is in lieu of all fees for such
service previously paid to clerks aud
sheriffs, say the Oregonian. The
court will have to decide the question.
The lawyers object to paying the fees
to the shenU, aud all pay it under pro
test. . )

from hearing tbs talk of soms parties be

On Sunday evening, as per announce.
nient, Rev. White gave bis reasons for tbs
observsnc of the Christian Sabbath, as
sgainst Saturday observance. Tbs church
was well tilled, snd the Seventh Day Ad-
vent missionaries not holding services that
evening In order to be present with their
followers. The reverend gentleman gave
them cold comfort for 7th day observance,
and for three quarters of on hour pleaded
very eloquently for th Lord's dsy and its
proper observance. It was a mssterly effort
and seemed convincing, but did not con
vince all, for "convince a man against bis
will he's of the lame opinion still,'' and th
arguing next day showed tbat all the lis
tener were not on on side.
Henry Kratz, assisted by Ous Llndberg,
brought out of Krsts' store last Thursday
box containing bag In which there were a
number of small sacks of corn meal. He
brought with hlm .slao two brooms, and
finding Will Myers and Norman Merrill
outside, gave saoh one a broom, s. tying he
bad about a dusen mice In custody, and
wanted them to kill the Bile as they tried
to escape. Getting on the plank walk, with
one man on each side of biro, having bis
broom raised ready to bring down on ths
first luckless mouss tbat tried to get away,
Henry began very carefully to get his sscks
out, as few spectators gathered. Soon
ths bag was emptied, than carefully lifting
it out of the box the mice were gone. But
Henry knows the mice were there when he
started. You can imagine who the laugh
was on, by this time.
Special School Tax. The five-mill
peolal tchool tax voted in thi district
some time ago will raise a revenue of
about $400. This fall far short of
oovcring the present indebtedness of
the district, and by the time another
year roll around the deficiency will
be quite a lurge as at present. It ia a
mistake to have o many month of
school during the year when the dis
trict i too poor to pay thoroughly
competent teacher. The interest
alone on our school indebtedness would
more than pay the difference between
the salary of a superior and inferior
toacher. Hence it would be better by
far to have fewer month of school, in
charge of a thoroughly competent and
successful teacher.

In the fall of 1803 a son of Mr. T. A.
McFarland, a prominent merchant of
Live Oak, Sutter, Co., Cal., was taken
with a very heavy cold. The pains
in his chest were so severe that he had
spasms and was threatened with pneu
monia. Ilia father gave' him several
large doses of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy which broke up the cough
and cured him. Mr. McFarland say
whenever his children have croup he
invariably give them Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy and it always cures
them. He considers it the best Cough
remedy iu the market. For sale by Dr.
Edwin Ross.
Dr. Ross desires us to publish the
following extract from a letter of Clias.
M. Gutfeld, of Reedlcy, Fresno Co.,
Cal., a he handles the remedy referred
to and wants his customers to know
what a splendid medicine it is: "It is
with pleasure I tell you that by one
day's use of Chamberlain' Cough
Remedy I wit relieved of a very severe
oold. My head was completely stopped
up and I oould not sleep at nights. I
can recommend this remedy." A oold
nearly always starts in the head and
afterwards extend to tho throat and
lungs. By using thi remedy freely as
soon a the cold ha been contracted
it will cure the oold at once and pre
vent it from exteuding to the lungs.
