A Rom Tax. A "nose tax" was In the ninth cell tary exacted by the Danes from tho householders m Ireland. It was wo called not because It was levied on noses, but from the fact that a failure to pay was punished by slitting the nose from tip to eyebrow. It was con tinued during thirteen years, when the householders, objecting to this treat ment of their nasal ornaments, rose In rebellion, massacred all the Danes In Ireland and put an end to the nose lotting.

A special from Wallace, Idaho, says of the development of the Adams mur der trial: 'It Is the heart that moves the hand. I am the man that killed Fred Tyler. Turn all these other fIIows loose, for I am the man that done the deed." This was the announcement which startled Judge Wood's court this morning. A small dark stranger with long black hair nnd a stubby beard was standing up beside Steve Adams, proclaiming himself guilty of the crime for which Adams Is on trial. A com motion followed. Mrs. Adams burst Into tears, Adams himself turned pale. Seized by two officers, the stranger was hurried from the court room to the sheriffs office. There he' said his name was Patrick C. Ryan of Butte; that he had just finished a term In the Deer Lodge penitentiary. After being released he said he had gone to Burke, where Roosevelt's daughter had told him to come to Wallace and take charge of this case. He said If Adams was convicted an earthquake would destroy the Coeur d'Alene. Ryan will be committed to the asylum. Adams says he does not know the man. This morning's session of the court was taken up mainly by Coroner Keys at the preliminary hearing, the attorneys having agreed to this meth od, owing to the coroner's Illness. His testimony relates largely to the con dition of the body of Tyler and the surroundings, where It was found In tho woods. While the defense still concedes Its policy, signs have led to the prediction that Adams' attorneys will endeavor to cast doubt on the Identification of Ty ler's body, and will also uphold the theory that Adams was not In the Marble Creek region at the time this murder occurred. Adams Is begin ning to show some signs of the se vere strain, and at times appeal's wor ried and uneasy. Mrs. Adams also has given signs of nervousness as the state masses Its evidence.

Eugene Turns Down the Paving of the Asphalt Trust. The Eugene Guard says of the adoption of the bltullthlc paving for that city: Mayor Wilklns and the members of the city council who went to Port land one day last week to examine the different kinds of pavement in me on the streets there, with a view of determining which Is the best ma terial to be placed on Eugene's streets havo returned. While there has been no public expression of the decision of the par ty, if there has been any made, It la understood that all are of the opin ion that the bltullthlc pavement la the best, and at the meeting of the council tomorrow night It will be de cided to use that material. The bltullthlc has been In use in Portland for the past four years and has given splendid satisfaction there On one street where the traffic Is heavier than on any other street In the city the bltullthlc has stood for fcur years without the expenditure of one cent for repairs, and It now appears to be as good as when It was nut down. It Is said the cost of laying this pavement In Eugene will be less than In Portland because oi the cheap ness of crushed rock here, and It will no doubt last longer here than In FOR.
