Premier Franco was allowed a frea

past week he announced a determination
either to banish or exile all subjects re
gardless of rank or position.
He destroyed tha liberty of tha press,
suppressed all publlo meetings, harshly
prohibited all street manifestations and
turned loose a strong street patrol

terror practically tha entire population
of Lisbon, , fl.

SKETCH OP CARLOS.
NeTcr Day That Was Not Dark
ened by Poverty and Dissension.
Ever since Kins: Carlos 1 ascended
tha throne of Portugal In 1S89 he has
been the victim of a poverty that made
him known throughout Kurope as the
pauper King." to sit with him upon
he throne of his Indigent country, he
brought Maria Amello de Bourbon.
daughter of tha Comte da Paris, whom
he had married in 1896.
It is doubtful If there was a single
day of their king and queenhood that
was not darkened by their Increasing
lack of money, the dissension and the
plots that have honeycombed the lit-
tha county assessors working In har
mony, for the purpose or taxation
their property. For rate making pur
poses they place a huh valuation on
It and claim tha right To maintain rates
which will Insure returns upon this
high valuation. It seems to me that If
the commission and the assessors stand
together tha railroads are between the
devil and the deep, blue sea. If, to
escape taxation, thev place a low valua
tion on their property tha commission
would be Justified, to a certain extent,
in taking that valuation into considera
tion in placing!! valuation upon their
property for rate making purposes. If,
to justify excessive rates, a high valua
tion is placed upon their property, along
comes the assessor-- with his book and
pencil and up goes the assessment"
Tha Two-Cant Tare Crnsade.
Continuing, he dlscussnd tha two
cent fare proposal as follows;
"My mission here today is not only
to tell you something of the work of
the commission but to discuss the ad
visability or your proposing at this
time, through the initiative, a bill to
reduce passenger fares in this state to
two cents a mile.
"If such a reduction is croDer the
commission hRs full power to make
it, and its order would be more apt

afternoon, on a petition of tha receiver
of the Oregon Trust A Savings bank
to sell tha assets to the German-American
bank, tho latter bank assuming tha
liabilities and agreeing to pay all cred
itors In full within two years. A large
array of lawyers attended tha hearing,
and the seating capacity of tha court
room was tested by depositors who were '
present to hear tha casa presented.
After hearing arguments the court took
tha matter under advisement.
Will Get Money sooner.
The proposition of the German-American
bank,- whioh has been accepted by
the receiver and is recommended bv him
to the court for approval, was explained I
by Joseph 81mon, attorney for Mr. Dav- J
Un. The attorney told of the receiver's
efforts to drive the best bargain ha
could for the depositors, and stated that
in their judgment tha proposition as I
submitted was fair and reasonable in
the interests of all concerned.
He said that while it is asked by tha
German-American bank that two years
be granted for payment of the liabili
ties, he has no doubt that depositors
will get their money much before that
time.
Those depositors who subscribed for
telephone bonds and bank stock will re
