The Court of Appeals Decision
IN Relation to TaX-Titles.
We take from the Van Buren, Times
of the I'd inst, the following item:

We take from the Van Buren, Times
of the I'd inst, the following item:
Mr.. J. B. White returned to this place yes
terday, from Centreville, Reynolds county.
Mr.. w. informs us that the land sales in
Reynolds county were put off until the No.
vember term Of the Circuit Court, owing to
a decision pending in the Supreme Court,
regarding tax titles, which will be decided
In a few weeks. Should the Supreme Court
sustain the Court of Appeals of st. Louis, it
will seriously effect the validity Of title of all
sales made in the past wherein one man as
Sheriff and Collector brings the suit and
sells the land. A confirmation of this decis-
ion would be the injury of q number of our
best citizens. .f.|
The full text of this decision does
not sustain the view hastily assumed
by those who have not read it. 1t ap-
plies to sales in st. Louis county only,
and does not affect those outside. In
st. Louis county the Sheriff is e1-o6acio
Collector, while in the country those
two offices are separate and distinct,
and may be held by different persons.
In st. Louis county tax suits have
been instituted by the Sheriff, and 1t ia
can make no conveyance. In the coun-
try suits are instituted by the Collec-
tor, and the levies made, lands sold,
and deeds executed by the Sheriff. 1t
is true these offices are sometimes held
by the same person, but as he holds
the two offices under distinctive COM
missions, his acts under either are as
widely separated and as distinct as if
the offices were filled by different per-
sons. AS Sheriff he can have no per-
sonal interest which can have accrued
under his official acts as Collector, that
can, in the legal meaning Of the term,
make him an interested party" The
Court of Appeals decision sustains this
view, so far as it feels called upon in
simplifying its reasons for upsetting
the act Of an official who, under one Of
flee, attempted the double role of relat-
or and grantor.
AS to Mr.. HarrisOn's refusal to sell
we think it was entirely without justi-
fication; and If the report that he did
SO refuse did not come to us so well
authenticated as to leave no room for
reasonable doubt, we should discredit
it entirely. 1t Is said a Mr.. Coe went
over into Reynolds county, made big
blow about the Court of Appeals decis-
ion, and urged that the sales ought to |
3e put off until the Supreme Court !
finally disposes of the point at issue.
But why should Mr.. II. in his official
capacity pay attention to Mr.. Coe, Doe.
Roe, or all three combined? He had no
risk to run, he violated no law or rule
of official propriety, in discharging
the sworn duties of his Office. Must
an official lie pcrd u because, forsooth,
some point in his action may be affect
ed by decision yet to be rendered in q
case with which he can have no official
connection? What q lively admins
tration of the law there would be if this
rule were to:.Obtain!
In our opinion. Sheriff Harrison will
regret his course only once once-and
nor hong time.

is especially true of a family med
icine, and it is positively proof that
the remedy initiated is Of the highest
value. As soon as it had been tested
and proved by the world that Hop
Bitters was the purest, best land most
valuable family medicine on earth,
many limitations sprung up and be-
gan to steal the notices in which the
press and people of the country had
expressed the merits of H. B., and in
every way trying to induce suffering
invalids to use their stuff in stead,
expecting to make money on the
credit and good name of H. B. Many
others started nostrums put up in
similar style to H. B., with variously
devised names in which the word
Hop" or Hops" were used in way
to indnce people to believe they were
the same as Hop Bitters. All such
pretended remedies or cures, no mat.

especially those with the word ''Hop'

A double Headed Woman.

Shortly before noon this morning
the City Hotel parlor was the scene
of a somewhat unusual but equally
interesting event. Millie Christine,
the double-headed lady on exhibition
in the Inter Ocean circus of j. b.
Doris, entertained a number of prom.
inent physicians. This remarkable
young lady is a mulatto and says she
was born in 1861 in North Carolina.
She is below medium height, and has
two perfect formed busts and heads,
The bodies being back to back. Below
the waist che has the organism of a
single individual, with the exception
of the fact that she possesses four
limbs. Her carriage is extremely
graceful. and she uses two or four
limbs at will in walking. Mentally,
it is difficulty to understand the
phenomenon. She speaks of herself
and is addressed in the singular
number, and while she talks with
one head or the other, it is under
stood that mentally she is but one
person, fact which doubtless con-
tributes to the peace and happiness
of this singular being, as itprecludes
the possibility of wordy war be.
tween herself, the terrible conse-
quences of which can scarcely be
fancied. The lady is well educated,
speaking several languages fiuently,
and singing soprano with one hea0
and contralto with the other. She
sang several selections to the infinite
satisfaction of her guests. Her
weight is 205 pounds. Among the
doctors in attendance were Messrs.
B. H. Detwiller, Thomas Lyon, Ed

The Truly Honest Juror.

Some difficulty was experienced
in obtaining a jury, and the court
was getting tired of the tedious pro-
ceedings.
Call the next juror, Clerk" said
the solicitor for the hundreth time.
The clerk called out the man, and
an old man with an honest face and
a suit of blue jean clothing rose up
in his place, and the solicitor asked
the following questions
Have you, from having seen the
crime committed, or having heard
any of the evidence delivered under
oath, formed or expressed an opin.
ion as to the guilt or innocence ol
the prisoner at the bar?"
"No, sir"
SIS there any bias or prejudice
resting on your mind for or against
the prisoner at the bar?"
"None, sir"
"Is your mind perfectly impartial
between the State and the accused?'
1T is"
"Are you opposed to capital pun.
ishment ?"
I'm not"
All the questions had been an
swered and the court had been con
graduating itself on having another
Juror, and the solicitor in solemn
tones, said
"Juror, look upon the prisoner
prisoner, look upon the juror"
The old man adjusted his specta
cles, and peeringly looked at the
prisoner for full half a minute, when
he turned his eyes toward the cour1
and earnestly said:
Judge, I'll be condemned if
don't believe he is guilty"
1t is useless to add that the court
was considerably exasperated at hav
ing lost q juror, but the more humor
ously inclined had good laugh out

The fibered bank-note paper on
which American legal tender, ma
tional bank note currency and gov
eminent bonds are printed is made
ct Dalton, Mass, in an old mill,
whose existence dates back to colon-
ial times. If you should stop at the
old paper mill, with proper creden-
tials, you may perhaps be allowed
to handle . sheet of the crisp paper,
where, as the wet. erayish pulp is
pressed between heavy iron cylin-
des, bits of blue and red silk are
scattered over its face and silken ribs
laid on its surface. You may 60 be-
yond, into the counting room, where
each sheet, as it comes from the
drying room, is carefully examined
and counted and then returned to
the paper cutter to be divided into
smaller sheets. If you will trace this
paper still further, you will find that
from the cutters hands it passes
again into the counting room, and
is separated into little packages con-
tanning 1000 sheets each, the amount
recorded in a registerer, and then
packed in bundles and stored in fire
and burglar proof vaults to await
shipment to the United States treas
ury. From the pulp room to the
vault the precious paper is watched
and guarded as carefully as though
each sheet were an ounce of gold.
Its manufacture is one of the great
est secrets connected with the gov
ernment's money making. From the
vaults of the paper mill at Dalton,
to the guarded store rooms of the
treasury at Washington, is a journey
of several hundred miles. In the
capacious vaults of the treasury
building, among gold, silver, copper
and nickel coins, bullion, paper cur
rency and official records, you will
find thousands of packages of the
bank note paper made at Dalton. 1t
comes in little iron safes, such as are
used by the Adams Express Com
pany, and each package and every
sheet is carefully counted before the
manufacturer and express company
are relieved of further responsibility.
The paper that arrives to-day may
lie in the treasury storeroom for
years, or it may be sent to the Bu-
reau of Engraving and Printing to-
morrow, to return in the course of a
months time, a legal tender or bank
note.

The Editorial Life.

At the funeral of Col. l.. L. Tate at
Williamsport, Rev. S. Z. Webster
made some appropriate remarks,
among them being the following:
"A long and laborious life has
been brought to close. The pro-
fession ola journalist is no sinecure.
To have walked in the editorial
ranks for fifty years, was not to
traverse path of roses nor to have
been borne along in indolent ease.
The life of an editor is one of many
vicissitudes, much rivalry, strong
antagonisms. No greater battles
have been fought on tented field
with the edge of sword, like those
battles which have been Fought
with the pen. There has been war
to the very hilt in many editorial
sanctums. To have been a Journal
ist during the past fifty years of our
national existence means hard work,
heated brain, midnight oil, the suf-
fering of bitter innuendo and gross
Misrepresentation. And yet Journal
ism is profession of high distinc-
ton, one of the most honorable and
when conducted Alright, one of the
most needed. No agency, ssye the
pulpit, mas so educated the senti.
ment of the public, so directed the
mind of the people, SO moulded leg.
islation. The press must not only
direct the thought of the people, but
do the thinking for the people.
This has been pre-eminently true
during the past fifty years of our
nations life. No country, perhaps
has had such a varied history, has
undergone SO many changes, has
encountered so many vicissitudes
Our changeful political complexion
our wars, our financial cricis, our un-
precedented growth, our gigantic
enterprises, and our influential
status among the nations, have al
contributed to and made necessary
the most vigorous application o
journalistic energy. During all these
changes Col. Tate has welded 8
strong pen, has consecrated his life
with singleness of purpose and with
answering decision. During al
his life he has stood by the ont
party, has adhered to its principles
has fought its battles; whateveI
may be mems political predictions
however they may differ in relation
to any interest of life, they will re
spect a man of strong conviction

A lady in West Somerville has
been much annoyed of late by q
book agent, of whom, in some un-
guarded moment heretofore, she pur-
chased a book, and for which reason
he has considered it his right and
privilege to call at all hours and
take up much of her time dilating
on the advantages of other books,
most of which would be dear at any
price. Having borne the infiictioI,
for some time, she at last told him
that he need not trouble himself to
call again, as she didn't want any
book and had no time to waste look
ing at them. The very next day he
was there again, and then, entirely
losing her patience, she told him
that if he came there again he would
wish be had not. A day or two af-
ter, while she was cleaning lamps,
there came ring at the bel, and
looking out of the window she be-
held her enemy standing upon the
steps, book in hand, gazing about
the neighborhood. Hastily catching
up the pail of lamp-water, she open
ed the door, and when the man turn
ed, with mouth open, ready to speak,
she gave him the contents of the pail
square in the mouth. The sudden
ness of this unexpected reception
staggered the gentleman, and losing
his balance he fell off the steps back
ward into a drift of snow, which
completely buried all of him but his
legs, which useful appendages waved
wildly in the air, while sounds OF
coughing and sputtering issued from
the drift, and the thoroughly-snger-
ed woman stood upon the steps and
shouted: SHOW, you just get out OF
this, and if / ever catch you around
here again, I'll give you another
dose" The man in the drift finally
got upon his feet and displayed to
the angry lady not the smiling and
familiar features of the book agent,
but the astonished and besmeared
countenance of a minister from an
adjoining town, whose church she
once attended and who performed
the marriage ceremony at her we'd
ding. We kindly draw veil over
the scene that followed. 1t is suffi-
cient to say that the minister made
no more calls that forenoon, and he
complains that his food has been
favored with a combination of soap
and kerosene oil ever since, and the
lady is angry because the book
agent will not know anything about
her little game until he reads it in
this paper.-Boston Globe.

A Robber Rat.

About two years ago, a Mrs.
Schultz, residing on Ellis street. near
Leavenworth, lost from her level
case an unset diamond of consider.
able value. A Chinese domestic in
her employ was arrested on suspi
cion of having stolen the jewel. The
pagan strongly protested his inno-
cence, and for lack Of evidence he
was discharged from custody. Mrs.
Schultz abandoned all hope of ever
seeing the stone again, and the mat
ter was forgotten. The strange part
of the story occurred a few nights ago.
The family had retired for the night,
when they were disturbed BY a loud,
scratching noise in the bathroom, as
if some one were at work cutting
through the windows. The male
portion Of the household were arous.
ed, and, armed to the teeth. thew
prepared to march on what they
supposed to be burglars. The bath.
room door was cautiously opened
and sickly glare of light passed
over the apartment. 1t was strona
enough, however. to disclose to ths
searehers, not q robber, but q huge
rat, which had in some manner 20,
into the bath-tub and vainly endeav
oring to climb out over the slippery
xinc-lined sides. The scratehing q
his claws against the metal mad,
the noise that had awakened the
family. The house dog, Scotch
terrier, was called in to dispatch tn,
rodent and made short work of him
In killing the rat the dog manelet
its body frightfully, cutting it oper

faucet was turned on to clean on
the tub and . scilating spark in th,
debris of the dead nat attracted at
