8ATURDAY OCTOBER 6, 1895 AX OPEX ADMISSIOX. - This administration, which has run the country 9300,000,000 in debt in less than three years, makes a great fuss over a conjectural excess oi revenues - over expenditures for the current month of $2,000,000. This is only the second , month since the Democrats . .came into power that has showed - revenue excess. The first was last June, when there was an apparent : surplus of $4,000,000. - But the next month showed a . deficiency much larger, and the apparent surplus is be' lieved to. have "been a trick of book keeping, by whicn bills of June were carried over to July. It is not fmprob able that the apparent surplus for September is the result of a similar trick, since it is admitted already that October will show a very large deficit. It is a matter of course that there can be no real surplus till the whole fiscal policy of the' government shall be : changed.- Oregonian.' So! - Well what does that prove, ex cept that when this administration came in, under the much lauded Me .run ley bill tnere was not revenue enough raised to run the government. This administration came in in March 1893, while the McKioley bill was in force, and that bill was the law until about one- year ago, or for eightee: months after President Cleveland took his. seat! Now the Oregonian says that in the whole time not a singl month did the revenues raised under the McKinley bill meet the running - expenses of the government, but it adds that for at least two of the months since the Wilson bill became a law. . there has been a surplus. The Me Kinley law-was a pretty good "tariff for deficit." Under it during the last ' "two years of President Harrison's ad ministration the surplus decreased from $153,000,000 per year to $9,000,000, and the last-six months of that. admin' istration there was a deficit, caused by the McKinley tariff, and this tariff for deficit only, unfortunately had to be continued for a year and a half under . the present administration. " The Wil son bill will produce revenue enough when the expenses of the government are:' reduced to the normal. The change in the pension laws, adding 100,000 new names to the pension list. -required about $40,000,000 a year for the past two. years, to pay the back ' pensions "and this will not be a perma nent isharge. The Wilson bill is all . right, give it a-chance. " HUNTlXaTOXS AWFUL SLIP It is with deep pain that we note the inexcusable moral lapse of which Mr. C. P. Huntington was guilty when questioned about the alleged intention of the Southern Pacific to cripple the . Central Pacific by reducing its through train service. ' Mr. . Huntington said - "damn." He said the story was damned lie." . Those were his very - words.. They did not slip out inad vertently, either, for he expressly re quested that they - should be tele graphed across the continent in just that form. ' l We are grieved to see a man who . . has so long set a shining example to the youth of our land marring his . noble -reeord by conduct which in : Boston would be punishable even now by fine and imprisonment. Mr. Hun tington has been a pattern of most of the Puritan virtues. He has been in- dustrious, thrifty and patient. He has worked long hours and has never quarreled with his pay. He has never struck for higher wages and has cared for the money of his employers as if it ' were his own which, indeed, it has usually , become in due time. His heart has-overflowed in charity to the poor heathen of Africa and no needy - congressman or member of a state leg' islature has ever appealed to his sym pathies in vain. He has given a water fall ' to Golden Gate Park and .toboggan slide to the Republican party of California. Bnt now all the moral fruits of a lifetime of pious industry are threatened. When the prattling infant . asks, "mamma, who is that noble-looking old gentleman with the white beard and benevolent eye?" The blushing mother will respond: "Hush, my child; look the other .way t.Yiftf-. fa r.fiA man urhn aalil 'damn!'' We trust tnat Mr. Huntington may yet repent and reform before it is everlastingly too late. San Francisco Examiner. TEE INCOME TAX. In all the Democratic conventions that have met this fall, the question of the income tax has . not been raised. Of course the reason for it is plain, and that reason is the action of the supreme court of the United "Stutes which " de cided the law - unconstitutional'. ' It will be remembered that this decision was made by a bare majority of one vote, and that .vote had been in the first trial of the - ease in which the decision was reached, in favor of the 'constitutionality ...of ' the ' law." We think the Democratic conventions have been guilty of a serious . over eight in not taking some action con cerning tht5' tax. If, as the supreme court asserts, the collecting of an in come tax is unconstitutional, then the constitution should be changed. It is the most just tax that was ever levied, because it makes our people pay tax in proportion to their ability to pay it. It is a question that will have to be settled sooner or later, and the sooner the better. "' - v ITET1S IN BRIEF. . . From SutunUf's Dsilr. J. H. Garrett, of Cross Keys, is in the city. - - Miss Bona Swank, of Portland, spent today in The Dalles visiting her uncle, J. A. Douthit. R. E. Misner, mayor of the town of Mitchell, was in town today. He leaves for Portland tomorrow. Wheat is still 39 cents here, with - the prospect of a rise by Monday, the market being firmer in Portland to day. . Mr. Loomis, who has been looking after the Oregonian's circulation nere, for several days, returned to Portland this afternoon. The big pile-driver has about com oleted its labors, and is being backed out and raised to tne wnari, Blow and laborious job. - It is a Roger Sinnott last night could have easily been mistaken as a galvanized picture from Puck. He was the genu ine, living,-breathing auae, D. B. Kelly, a prominent stockraiser of Crook county, ana wno oy tne way owns the largest and best improved farm in that county, is in the city to day. .- - The assault and battery case benig tried at Grand Dalles promises to as sume the proportions of the Durrant trial. A jury was secured yesterday and the easels only fairly started, though the arrests were made two weeks ago. Several Goldendale attorneys besides two from this city are engaged in see ing that justice is done, or done for, as the case may be. Mr. H. Hahn. of the firm of Wad hams & Co., who has been looking after his interests in this' and Crook county the past two weeks, was in the city last evening. An addition 30x60 feet is being built on to the east end of the Wasco Ware house. This will be used for storing chop, a commodity which the W. W. Co. contemplate handling extensively. One of the features of last night's play was a charming little French song by Miss Essie Tittell to her own accompaniment on the piano. Aud the piano, by the way, was necessarily a fine-toned one, being furnished by the Jacobsen Book & Music Co. for the occasion. The mathematical editor of an ex change propounds the following query: A boy ten years old nas a little sister who weighs 16 pounds, and he gets urea noiaing ner in nve minutes. When he is twice as old. how lone- will it take him to get tired holding some one s sister wno weigns izo pounds? to tne casual observer it would ap pear that there is now enough wheat stowed in the two large warehouses in tnis city to supply Hungry numan- ity with flour for an indefinite period, still there is plenty more in the surrounding country, and so soon as the market looks up a little the quan tity of wheat arriving here daily will be simply immense. Hood River strawberries and apples are world-beaters, but the annual baby crop excels them all, and at 3 o'clock Saturday, October 5, a committee of bald-beaded gentlemen will pin on the most Deautnui darling a blue ribbon. Alter award nas been made, tne com mittee will be at the disposition of dis appointed mothers for five minutes. This is expected to be the most lively ieature ot tne iair. uiacier. Air. M. r. Aoian today received a warrant from the United States Treas urer, to balance the account between the government and himself while he was postmaster. The machinery of the government moves slowly, but it gets there in the course of time. In the final balancing of accounts it was found that Mr. Nolan had 33 cents coming to him, and he received a war rant for that amount. ' From Monday's Daily. . Mr. F. Chundler, of Hood River, is in the city. Wheat is quoted at 40 cents in The Dalles today. Mr. W. MIills, of Jackson, Michi gan, is in the city.

Rev. A. Horn, whose successer, Rev. E. Mack is now here, will settle in Goldendale. He conducts services at Cam mas Prairie, Trout Lake, Gilmer ana various points in luickitat county, The fine weather and excellent con dition of the roads are a combination that has brought every available hnraA and wagon in the country into uee; to move the crops. As a result the East End presents a busy appearance. The streets are almost impassable on ac count of wheat teams which are jammed together like sardines in a box. The Moran Bros., of Seattle have been awarded the contract for build ing one of the six Torpedo boats re cently ordered by the Navy depart ment. The price to be paid Is S10U.UW.

K. of P. which meets at that place on the 8th. This has been the busiest day the ferryboat has had since it first began running. Uo to 10 o'clock 70 teams. most of them with four horses, had been crossed, and since that the boat has been going loaded to the guards iust as fast as she could make the trips. and between her trips with wagons, if there was a lull, a big band of sheep was waiting for her. The cannery is running on short time now on account of scarcity of fish It is probable the run will be so light bv the end of the week that the can-. nery will be closed for the season. There are now over 6,000 cases put up and bv Saturday night 7,000 will prob ably be secured. This morning about six tons were received, most of them coming from the grounds in dispute between the Bunnells and beuferts. Marshal Blakeny has a good sized felon on his thumb that camps with him of nights and refuses to part from him in the daytime. He has not had much sleep but told us confidentially that what was really more painful than the felon was the 916th suggestion, that he had just received to arrest the felon and lock it up. When you come to think of it though, it isn't at all strange that a city marshal should have a felon on his hands. Charles Myers was hanged at Pom- roy Washington, yesterday. He pro claimed his innocence to the last, but said he was the victim of clrcumstan ces. To tne last moment ne nan hopes of having his sentence com muted to imprisonment for life, but when on the scaffold he bade his friends good bye, and promised "to meet them in heaven." The causo for which he was hanged was the burn- ing of the hotel at Asotin, Frank Sherry being burned to death in the hotel. On Wednesday evening, while the 12-year-old son of Wm. Brown, who lives below Zillah, was playing around the dryer of a neighboring hop house, while the hops were being shoveled in, he managed in some way to get under the stream of hops; and before bis disappearance was noted he was buried several feet beneath, and death resulted from suffocation. How such an accident could have happened is difficult to realize: but those working around the building heard no outcry, and a search was made only when his absence aroused anxiety. Yakima Herald. OCR KEPOBTEB'S DILEMMA. He Wanders Into a Milliner Store, and That's All He Remembers. Saturday! Daily. Mrs. iirlggs millinery store pre sented a lively and beautiful scene this afternoon, one that will be more lively and more beautiful tonight, the occa sion being the regular opening of her fall styles. The rooms were hand somely decorated with palms and ami- lax and magnificent bouquets of roses, lilies and heliotrope. Our reporter, with that appreciation for beauty that is his most distinguishing characteris tic, tried to pass by the door, but couldn't. There were too many pretty things to permit; for there were pretty bonnets, pretty flowers, pretty rib bons, pretty colors and pretty girls, to which pretty aggregation he added himself as a contrast. Had there been fewer girls he might have a better recollection of the bonnets, but all he remembers is that they were things of beauty and a delight to the eye. They were shades and shades, red and red- red, (that's the kind we didn't have) blue and blue-blue and "huzza," which is a regular hurrah blue the color and shade a fellow has on dunning day and there were "shapes" of every imaginable Bhape from the center- board sloop to the schooner-rigged fin back, and there were spinnakers and out-riggers of birds, flowers, foliage and ribbons. The little lady who took us in tow held a dream in huzza dain tily upon one extended forefinger, and a poem in white with a bird on it on the other, and asked us if they were not pretty? We knew she wouldn't drop either of these hats for anything, but there were so many other pretty girls around that we couldn't take ad vantage of the situation. TO BUILD THE PORTAGE RAILWAY jar. nobfi Company Decided on Active Work. The annual meeting of the Columbia Railway & Navigation Company was held yesterday at the office of Munley & Prazer, McKay building at Port land. The most important transac tions of the meeting consisted of the election of officers and a board of trustees. The company also authori zed certain contracts for the construc tion and equipment of the portage rail way, and Mr. Paul F. Mohr, the - - . o president of the company, left Satur day for New York and London, to com plete the arrangements authorized by Friday's meeting. Mr. Mohr ex pects to remain at London . until Jan uary, and he will attend to all matters, including plans and finances. The folio wing are the officers elected : President, Paul F. Mohr, of New York; vice-president, David K. Stephens, of Tacoma; secretary, Victor K. Mc- iuheney, of New York; treasurer, Francis P. L'owry, of New York. The board of trustees consists of the presi dent, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer; and Messrs. C. O. Bates, of Tacoma, Hon. W. Lair Hill, of Oak land, Cal.; C. B. Niblock, of Chicago; A. A. Hutchinson, of New York, and W. D. Tyler, of Tacoma. Not Meloncholly. The watermelon is a great leveler of social distinctions. We are all of us prone to be more or less particular about whom we invite to sit at our table, or to join in our picnics, but when a big butcher knife slips through the green striped rind of a big fat melon that is so anxious to disclose the red lusciousness within that it fairly bursts in front of the welcome blade, societies distinctions vanish, and the high born, the rich, the proud, the gay, become the veriest children of nature and muzzle on ta the red slices of sweetness along with the common plebeian herd. There is something about the big chunks of pink joyous ness that for the time being makes mankind forget all else, while the business before the meeting is-being attended to. We saw an exemplifica tion of this yesterday near Crossen's. Three gentlemen, had opened a big melon and were sampling its flavor, and two dusky damsels from Celilo were assisting them. If you have any curiosity as to whom they, the gen tlemen were, inquire of I. J. Norman, for be saw two of them. AN OLD TIME FRIEND. Reminds ns of a Ulrl, a Letter, and a Dos;. Mr. W. H. H. Carey, of Tillamook couflty, arrived on the local yesterday from Portland, being on his way to Prineville to visit his brother, a long time resident of that place. We had not seen "Tip" for 14 years, but we recognized him almost before his feet touched the ground as he got off the car. In years agone, Tip was county commissioner of Douglas county Nev ada, Genoa being the county seat. We were putting in our time then in and about Genoa, most of said time being utilized in sowing a large sized crop of wild oats that being somewhat delayed, we were in a hurry to get in before the frost of old age caught us, At the same time we were paying pretty close attention to a charming little damsel, named well call her Johnson, a blue eyed bewitching and jolly a bit of femininity as ever swished a starched skirt in the sagebrush state. At the time we thought we loved her more in a minute than sixteen mule team could pull, and we have always thought she felt that way toward us, for the time being, at least eight mule-power worth, if she could have only remained serious long enough to admit it. Her paternal par ent was not a imrty to that kind of sentiment, in fact suggested to us, in language that was better fitted to the race track than the Sunday school that our presence around his domicile was appreciated more, the less there was of it. However that didn't cut much figure in Nevada, and things were running along harmoniously until one night, a fire broke out in the office occupied by the county clerk in the court house. The fire was got ten under control after some $1500 damage bad been done, but that fire was the beginning of the coldness between the young lady and ourself. - A few days after it, a bright, beautiful Sunday morning, we were around with our buggy team bent on taking the object of our affections for a drive up the valley, arrangements having been pre viously made by which the fact would be prevented from coming to the knowledge of Johnson Senior. As we were about to start, Sheriff Williams handed us a letter, asking us to deliver it to "Tip" Carey, the county commis sioner, whose place we would pass. and at the same time telling us, it was a notice that the insurance adjuster would be on,hand next morning, and, notifying him to be present. We got to "Tips" all right with the girl and the letter, but seeing no one around we gave the lines to her while we got out to deliver the letter. A knock at the door failed to receive recognition, except from a big mongrel dog, one part mongrel and nine parts bull, who came sniffing at our legs, but said nothing. The doors were locked, but we were determined to deliver that letter. .We lifted a window an inch or two, the dog making some slight ob jections, and pushed the letter through. As it dropped irom our nngers, we noticed it fell behind a trunk setting in front of the window. That wouldn't do, so we pried the window up far enough to let us squeeze our head and shoulders through and reach the letter. Just as our fingers clutched it the dog fearing we couldn't get out, muzzled onto the seat of our Sunday pants and began to pull. The girl be gan to laugh, and while our hair was standing on end, and we were hustling out of that we could hear her silvery laughter, mingled we fancied with some slight encouragement to the dog. We compromised with the dog when we got our form out of the window, presenting him with so much of our pants as he had taken possession of. And how that girl laughed. Under other, circumstanoes we might have turned our back on her, but we re frained. And then on the way home we stopped for a moment at her re quest, at a friends, where a dozen or so young people had gathered. They in sisted on our getting out and so did that girl but we refused. We got home all right but things never run just the same after that, and a few. months later her father sent her east where she married and the last we heard of her she was raising an interesting family, which at that time numbered seven. Tip Carey was the cause of it all, but when we saw him yesterday the old bitterness had all disappeared, and we were as glad to see him as though he owed us six bits. THE ARABIAN NIGHT9. The Dalles Enjoys One of Them, and De mands he Other 1O0O. There was a large and expectant audience in the Baldwin opera house Friday night when the curtain went up for the "Arabian Nights." Every seat was occupied and standing room was like votive candles in a mining campy remarkably scarce. Those who have heretofore seen our Home Dramatic Club expected a treat, but that they did not expeet such a treat as they got was evident from the smiling faces and the frequent applause. The plot was a very prettily and fantastically woven one, full of surprises and humorous situations, and the two hours that it took to present it passed like a man with a nine-spot high. The parts were all well taken, so well that it would be impossible to make particular mention of anyone. without saying practically : the same thing of everyone. Perhaps the most "fetching" thing waa in the fainting scene, when one after the other the ladies keeled over, but always with the right man at hand to catch them. The last one to fall though brought down the house as well as herself, for the wretched Hummingtop, in a fit of ab-sent-minedness, barely checked the force of her fall but let her slip to the floor. An encore followed, and was responded to by the whole family party, the ladies having fully recov ered. The Club earned fresh laurelR, and it was the unanimous verdict that no better play and no better players have appeared here in years. Only ten days were given for ' the rehearsal of the play but it ran as smoothly as though the club had been " playing it for months. The Home Dramatic Club can rest assured that whenever it sees fit to present anything in The Dalles, that the whole town will be there to see, and, wa might add, they cannot give us something else too soon. TWICE ARRESTED. These) Friends rail- Oat, and In, and On ' ' Again. Dr. Rothermel was arrested Friday at Troutdale, and brought here for trial on a charge of larceny by bailee. the complaint being made by a man named Marshbanks. The prosecuting witness and the doctor lived together sometime at Hood River, and, in fact, as we are informed, came to Hood River from San Francisco together, Marshbanks being sick and the doctor taking care of him. Sometime since Marshbanks received two checks of the value of about $285. These checks the doctor cashed on the authority of Marshbanks and it seems spent the money. About a month or six weeks ago, Marshbanks swore out a com plaint against the doctor at Hood River before Justice Soesbe, and he was arrested here and taken to Hood River for trial. Then Marshbanks and he got together and talked the situation over. The result was that Marshbanks filed an affidavit, declar ing he had given the doctor authority to collect the money, and that the in jury to him had been satisfied. On this showing the case was dismissed, the doctor paying the costs. It seems from a review of the whole matter that the doctor had promised to pay over any balance found due him, there be ing an open account between them, when he received some money from Germany that he was expecting, but which has not yet come to hand. Marshbanks has evidently got tired of waiting for his money, and being urged on, perhaps by others, has commenced this action. lion. E. B. Dufur has been retained to defend him. Land Transfers. The following deeds were filed for record since our last report. A. H. Curtis and wife to Harriet N. Stevens, lot 9, block 24, Bluff addition to The Dalles; $1.

The shooting of Mrs. Lottie Hiatt at ordan proves to be the work of . a woman named Hannah, who lives near there. She was arrested last evening. Mrs. Hannah believed her husband was unduly intimate with the matt woman, and disguised herself as a man, entered the house of Mrs. Hiatt the evening before and shot her twice, both shots taking effect in the head. It is thought ahe cannot live. Part of Mrs. Hannah's disguise, a false mus tache and a pair of spectacles were left in the room where the shooting oc curred, which led to her arrest. She was examined Saturday before a jus tice in Scio and bound over to appear before the grand jury. She is the mother of four children. The Fair at Hood River. We have had considerable to say concerning both The Dalles and Hood River fairs, yet at the risk of becom ing tiresome we again urge a general attendance at both these fairs. The same principles apply to both, and the Interest of the county demand that both Bhould be well attended and en couraged. The fair at Hood River be gins Friday and . closes Saturday. Special rates have been given by the Regulator of 50 cents for the round trip, on either day. The weather is beautiful, and Hood River, always beautiful, is just now at its best, and a day spent there will be one long to be remembered. Took the Medicine. The S. B. Medicine Company of Du fur got a strong testimonial Monday from 8Ji unexpected source. Their traveling agent, Mr. P. T. Knowles, was held up near Roseburg, and be sides $16 in coin a lot of the medicine was taken. Some patent medicines acheive notoriety through advertising, but few indeed be the nostrums that take such a grip on public sentiment that people go out with a gun and hold the proprietor up in order to get them. The dispatches are silent as to what particular medicine the thieves."took," but as it is all good it doesn't matter. An Inspection Tour. 1.1 T V, MAm.lnH nMmn Col. Dunne and Maj. Collins com pleted their inspection of Third's headquarters and Co. G. Monday night, and left for Grant, Col. Thompson of the Third accompanying them. They go from there to Wasco to inspect Co.

Already Done Something For It, Do It at Once. One week from tomorrow the fair will commence. What have you done towards making it a success? If you have .done nothing, why have you? There is nothing of so great import ance to the agricultural community as a local fair. It is a thing of good or evil, just as the people and more par ticularly the farmers see fit to make it. It is an opportunity provided for dis playing the products of the country, so that the world may see and judge them. If an interest is taken in the matter and a good display of fine farm products is made it is a great adver tisement for the country. If on the other hand no one takes an interest in it, and the displays consist of a few Articles carelessly selected it were far better that none at all be shown, and that the fairs be discontinued for left handed advertisements are not needed. Thrifty, industrious people are quick to note thrift and industry in others, and equally quick to notice slipshod methods and poor results. That kind of people are not apt to settle and make their homes among the indolent and unenterprising, yet that is the kind of people we want. Take an in terest in the fair, and make it what it can be made, an exhibit of such fruit and vegetables as few countries can boast, and prepare to do it at once. A SWEET MESS. Little Workers Laden With Stolen Goods. Whether dumb beasts1 can justly be rated as such is an open question but one long disputed. All have notes of warning, calls, or some-means of com munication, but among the insects this means of communication though evidently noiseless is very perfect. Wednesday a vagrant bee from some hive in the city found its way into Crossen's store and, there discovered a box of honey, open, delicious tempt ing. In a minute or two he had as much honey loaded into his hold as he could have gathered in two hours, presenting his bill to the flowers, and collecting in the usual way. As soon as loaded ne leit, and in a minute or two was home and telliug the balance of the hive what a soft snap he had found. In half an hour, every bee from the hive was engaged in robbing Crossen, openly and shamelessly. The bold little thieves got into trouble though, for they would try to go out through the big window instead of the door, ' and of course got hung up, There they wandered around, laden with stolen sweets but still unhappy The front windows of the store looked like a bee hive, and attracted quite a crowd, interested in the strange scene. GENERAL MEWS. Boiled Down From the Dispatches and . Swiped From the Exchanges. Air. Huntington tne railway mag nate of California, says "Mr Curtis is a very valuable man. He is our stat istician." The grand jury in the District of Columbia before adjourning the other day recommended the establishing of a whipping post. Last week the- thermometers were up in the 90s in Pennsylvania but yesterday the same section had a snow storm. A report reached New York yester day that 2500 Cubans had been whipped by the Spanish . troops, 120 being killed. , . Secretary Hubert will go to Alabama tomorrow, to deliver speeches on the financial question. The Texas legislature has been con vened for the purpose of passing laws preventing prize fighting. Since the above, Fitzsimmons and Corbett have both gone into active training. The attendance at the state fair is said to be below the average and the reason therefore is further said to be the 0 cent rates of admission. BLOOMERS FROSTBITTEN. The Portland Telegram Gives a Powerful Reason For Their Wane. Now that the cycling season is about closed it is safe to venture a prediction that the bloomers will not bloom with renewed luxuriance next summer. They have already exhibited unmis takable symptoms of wilting, and their inevitable collapse will be caused by theii own ugliness. They might sur vive denunciation by doctors on the score oi health, by ministers on the score of modesty, by actors and para- graphers on the point of innovation, but they cannot make a stand on the question of beauty, and that is the secret of their decadence. Woman cannot be either coaxed or forced to wear an garment that does not be come her, regardless of its .claims of utility, and it cannot be denied that bloomers accentuate the physical de fects of their wearer. They make a well-shaped woman appear ordinary, and the woman of imperfect contour they transform into a fright. Any costume which makes the shoulders appear narrower, the waist smaller, the hips broader and the height less can never attain a permanent place in the feminine wardrobe. . Work For the New Woman. According to the Walla Walla Union that city is reaching far into the future for its amusements. It will have on exhibition soon several buxom speci mens of the new woman, working at what will probably be her new employ ment. We will bet the sum and sub stance of an entire nickel that sooqe lazy old married man . suggested the contest described below. The Union says: "Next Saturday there will be fun galore and galorum at the opera house. Twenty-seven pieces of silver ware will be given as a prize to the lady who can saw a 2x4. scantling the quickest with a buck saw, on the stage. Four competitors are already in the field willing to saw wood and say noth ing. Tney will all wear overalls on this occasion and there will be fun for the millions." .1 Rnmor Only. A rumor was in circulation Tuesday tnat Rev. O. D. Taylor had been ac quitted on all charges against him, but the most diligent search failed to find anything on which the rumor was based. It may have blown up on the west wind, or it may have originated in the fertile imagination ot someone who had nothing else to think about. The story grew to adult proportions in a little while, and by night, not only had he been acquitted, but had com menced an action in damages against the parties who had him arrested, and had even collected a large sum of money therefor, and was on bis road home with it.
