CONSCIENCE MONEY.
A rorilciicr Vuyn Mr. Kkililie After
Thrr Yvarr.
Saturilay afternoon a Finlander walked
into Mr. .Skibbe's hotel, accompanied by
his son, a lad of about 17 yeara. He
talked very brokenly and was understood
witli considerable difficulty. Witliout,
other preliminary he asked if Mr. Skibbe
remembered buying some dressed hogs
of him three years us:o. Mr. Skibbe did
j not and then he said something about
' $4.85 in connection with the event, Mr.
.Skibbe believing he was trying to collect
that amount fraudulently on an old bill,
lie paid but little attention to the old
fellow and busied himself waiting upon
other customers, but Hill tho foreigner
hung around, waiting for further atten
tion. Witli a view to ridding himself of
the collector iau he thought) he seized a
Ieus busy moment, and Etepped up to
him, Miyinp:
"Well, old gent, how is it you never
said anything about it all this time?"
He either did not understand or ig
nored the question, and, still talking,
pulled out a purte, and took therefrom
if-1.85, and handing it to Mr. Skibbe,
said, very brokenly, but which we will
give in a traiiHluted form ;
"Take this, I have had it over three
years now. It is your money. You
paid me $-1.35 too much at the time I
sold you tho dressed hogs."
Mr. Skibbe thanked liim very much,
but the old fellow would not accept any
thing. Wo will not publish his name,
but his residence is in Centerville. It
would seem the matter has troubled
him greatly ever since he was overpaid,
andjiowthata great burden is lifted
from his conscience, wo will let him en
joy his good actU.nvith as little or as
much publicity as hecares to give it.

Mr. G. W. I,ucaB of Wamic is in tho
city. He reports the farmers in his sec
tion are very busy plowing and sowing
fall wheat, and as the ground is in the
finest condition there will be as much or
.more winter wheat sown this fall than
formerly. The long distance to market
and tho low priro of wheat, the farmers
will try tho hog enterprise as a branch
pf husbandry, and put their grain into
pork instead of raising it to sell by the
bushel. Wheat raising is largely un
profitable where the markets are so un
certain. Allulm at tliu 1.01-kH.

Dl.cliarKfd liy the Grand Jury Only for
Lack of Kvlilence.
The grand jury rendered "not a true
bill" in the case of State of Oregon vs.
Irvin Taylor, and defendant was dis
charged. The circumstances of the case
shold prove the folly of getting too thor
oughly under the influence of liquor if
the individual is of a quarrelsome nature
when so influenced. Mr. Taylor is a
model man ordinarily, and universally
respected by his associates. A few
montliBago, while partly drunk, he quar
reled with a Chinaman well known at
Antelope, and with a spirit more to
frighten than anything else, he pulled
out a revolver and discharged it in the
floor within a few feet of the Chinaman.
The latter thereupon had him arrested
for assault with intent to murder, but
the grand jury, believing there was not
sufficient foundation for tho charge, dis
charged Taylor with a warning. There
is no doubt that bad whisky is at the
root of half the crimes committed, and
if Mr. Taylor will profit by his narrow
escape from a term in the penitentiary
lie will hereafter let it severely alone.
It is bad medicine for the passions, and
with an individual of his nature, substi
tutes recklessness for bravery, insanity
for reason, ami makes murder not only
possible, but an accident if it is not
committed.

In a letter of explanation to the state
board of equalization he makes the fol
lowing statements :
That three-fourths of the deeded land,
heretofore placed at a high valuation, is
pasture and grazing and cannot be justly
assessed as high as that used for agri
cultural purposes purely.
Horses are assessed at $21.79, which is
fully up to their cash value, and many
have been sold for less.
Cattle have been placed at $10.75,
which have often been offered for sale at
this figure with no buyers at that.
Sheep at $1.50, which cannot be sold
for srich sum for lack of buyers.
Hogs he has placed at $4.03, which is
fully as high as they are worth.
He also mentions the fact that he has
assessed town property above the current
cash prices.
From Mr. Koontz' letter, containing
these explanations, it would be folly to
suppose the state board will exceed the
figures in any instance.
