While at the Courthouse last Mon
day we found what purports to be
the County Treasurcr's Report
hanging by piece of red tape from
the north door. We stopped TO eN-
anime it and take II note or two. 1t
is 4 remarkable document in sever
al respects, and if it is the identical
report that the committee examined
and reported ON, it is our opinion
that the committee itself deserves
a vote of ccnsurc for accepting such
u report.
The report covers twenty or more
pages, and, wonderful to tel, while
balances are struck on the several
funds, it is not added up. We think
it was as little as the committee
could have done to ask Mr.. Boyd
TO add his columns up. The COM
mittce says it found the additions
correct. There are no additions on
that report at the Courthouse door.
Again, q most remarkable incl
dent occurs on that report. The
Treasurer, in charging himself with
the various sums received from the
Sheriff, does so in dollars. There
are no odd cents, as will be seen
by the following:

One of tho most shameless frauds
practiced on the Taxpayers by the

an approx .riation of S. 900 to be ex-
pended by a so-ealIed =" State Cen
tennial Board" under the ostensible
purpose of enabling certain parties
to participate in the grand carousal
ut Philadelphia on the 4th of July

a FAMILY PoI5oNED.-The particu-
lars OF case of poisoning comes % us
well authenticated from Wolfsville, Ere
derrick county. On Sunday evening
while Mr.. Daniel Shupp and family were
ut supper they were taken very sick al
most Immediately after drinking some
coffee. None escaped except a little
girl who did not drink any. MIR. Will
son Stotlemyer and wife were guests and
became sick also. DR.. Lamar called and
he pronounced that the parties had all
been poisoned. lie remained at the
house all night using his utmost skill TO
save the lives Of the unfortunate persons.
Up to Wednesday morning all of them
were alive, though yet very seriously i'll.
One OF the children. however, will proba.
bly, die. its constitution being too weak
to assist in counteracting the effects Of
the poison.
There are several theories ~ to how
the poisoing was accomplished. 1t is
remembered that on Sunday while the
coffee was being made three men enter.
Ell the house and one OF thom went 10
the cook stove with the apparent object
Of lighting his pipe. IL is supposed by
some that he dropped poison In the cof.
fee pot. DR.. Lamar opinion is that the
coffee was not sufficiently Drowned. IL
IS well known fact that green coffee
contains a considerable degree OF poi.
son, and when not thoroughly Drowned
results in delctcrious effects hut we had
no idea that itwoull cause such extreme
| cases Of sickness and even death.
There is much excitement in the com.
munity, and the greatest sympathy is
felt for the sufferers. Il can hardly be
credited that there was an intentional
poisoning Of these parties. for 90 far Is
IS known they have no enemies and are
very popular and respectable citizens.
