From the evidencr it locks that Dunn
who killed the man Mccartney at Dayton
was on the defensive at the start. The
deceased took up another mans quarrel
and announced it his own; a large knife
was taken away from him on the after
noon previous and he had been drinking
before he met Dunn and after they met
and sone words had passed Mccarthy
struck Dunn, who, evidently, expecting
serious business from the previous actions
of the other cut him with knife he
had with him. The moral "f it is if every
one was to attend strictly TO his own
business there would be very little troub-
le in the world
The "Revenue Law" provides that all
taxes shall be paid in lawful money of
the United States. This is a species of re-
pudiation, whereby County refuses to
take its own paper for taxes If inforced
this law would work hardship upon
many tax payers and play directly into
the hano. of spectators who could buy
county scrip at "S,ge discount. We are
county treasurer, H. H. Wohs, r. as-
cided to receive scrip on taxes as hereto
fore. That i, the county taxes Of eight
mill on the dollars may be paid in scrip
drawn ON the county fund. Many of the
requirements Of this law are almost I'M
practicable and are therefore very proper

stand he has taken in this matter.
The Dayton Se,rs man propounds the
| following eIasperating conundrum- why
is it that, at this season of the year, four
hours time is consumed in going to and
from the Lodge to ones residencei
Well, brother, your question would
have been more easily answered if you
had told as what kind of man you meant.
Ii. for instance, he "looks upon the wine
when it was red We should say it could
| be accounted for by the fact that several
| saloons interyened or again, niabe he
was lazy and had not cut up the wood or
performed his usual chores, and put OF
the time of going home as long as he pos
sibly could the time OF year may have
had something todo with too ; perhaps he
had refused his better half Christmas
present The had set her heart upon and did
not care aboutfacing,he music the dlsapni-
nted one would surely treat him to. Or
again he may have been found kissing the
,ervan, girl Just before going to lodge,
such things have often happenedyou know,
and that Is the reason why our wives pre-
fer chinaman about house. You wouldnt {
kiss a chinxman now would you !
Your proposition brother, opens such .
vide field of inquiry, that, unless one CT
the above is correct or q women Is at the
bottom of it, we give It up.
