If there Is u popular clamor for tho election of a successor to William Lorimor at once Governor Deuoen may call a special session of tho legislature. Several politicians hnvo suggested to the governor that ho appoint ex-Senator Hopkins, who was tho people's choice at tho pri mary held prior to the election of Lorlmer. The governor's statement follews: "1 am not surprised at the vote In the senate. The facts wero too plain for successful controversy. No one could explain on any reasonable and honest theory why 53 democrats would vote for Mr. Lorlmer for sen ator as they did, or why four demo crats should confess to ecelvlng money for having voted for him. Nor could anyone disassociate this vote from the bipartisan organiza tion of tho general assembly or the 'jackpot.' "The effort to meet these Incon trovertible facts followed the course pursued by the defense In desperate cases In our criminal courts and the scandals which have followed tho In vestigations of this case through tho grand Juries and criminal courts, and have had their climax In CHAMP CLARK VISITS WILSON AT SEAGIRT SKAGIRT, N.

"The public, I think, knows In a general way the enormous influences which had to do with the election of Mr, Lorlmer, with the defense In tho criminal courts and before the Inves tigating committees of the state and national senates and the extraordi nary efforts made to retain him In bis seat. "This case has attracted national attention and the people of our coun try, I think, will feel a sense of sat isfaction In seeing the forces of law triumph over the Influences which have been brought to hear to defeat It. It will strengthen their confi dence In the law." A street railway In an Ohio city that Is subjectvd to floods very spring has built a number of cars that will run through ns much as the three feet of water. WASIIINTON, July 13.--liume-d lately after the announcement of tho Lorlmer vote a message from tho house was presented to the mm ato submitting the Arehbald Im peachment case to the senate.

WHITE ORPINGTONS .::: Notice to Taxpayers The sheriff's offieo is sending out not ices to all taxpayers wliose personal tax does not show "paid." These notices are beinjj sent out. for the reason that heretofore the assessor has always assessed the per sonal property with the real estate and when real estate was paid, the whole tax was paid. This year, however, the assessor has placed all tho personal property in a separate roll apart, from the real estate. Many people pay the taxes on their real estate alone believing they have paid all their taxes. For this reason a considerable amount of personal tax shows unpaid on the personal tax roll. Sheriff .Tones believes that in justice to the tax payers who have intended to pay all their taxes, they should be notified of their unpaid personal tax before the delinquent tax-list, is published. The notices are not a "dun" for taxes, but simply a notice that the personal tax shows unpaid. Now and Second and Lumber for Sale Cheap.
