Old Phil ThompSon'> Remarkable De-
Tense OF Il Thief Just Af.er the War.

tie. Tho case came up letore Judge
J. C.. WIcklitlr. now United States ut

was Ia th- courthouse at Harroi>hurg.
Phil Thompson. Jr. WAS prosecuting
attorney, and Phil Thompson. ST.. and
Col. Thomas G.. Bell. now assistant
United States attorney, Appeared Tor
the defense. Ed. Butts was %cilcuit
clerk. Collins had been Il soldier in
the Federal Amy. while every man On
the july, the prosecuting attorney. cir
cult cleik and the judge himself had
fought for the Confederacy.
The Witnesses We're brought forward
and ii plain case of theft made out
against Collins. The only dependence
of the defense was the testimony of
Collins daughter, Rose, who was t,
prove an al.bi. She was Il beautiful
woman, with we'll rounded figure, deep
black eyes, complexion in which the
hues of health set beauteously vntll,"n
Ell, and black hair that swept almost
unconfiued almost to the floor in long
waves. She was made to tell her story
for all it Was worth, and Col. Bell made
most touching plea, appealing to the
sympathies of the jury for u beautiful
woman in distress, with all the power
of language he could summon. But the
veterans of Donelson and Shiloh were
unmoved.
Then old Phil Thompson LAID himself
out t 0 mystify them aud raise u doubt
of the prisoners guilt, and he. too, Fl
nally began to appeal to their gallan
try. l. the midst Of IL glowing sen
rence he found the jury yawning, and
wholly inattentive. Breaking off his
pathos, the old lawyer leaned back on
table u moment. eyed the jury quizzi
cally with a humorous twinkle in Iii,
eye, and said:
''LoOk here, gentlemen. this stealing
was done during the war, aud you can't
do anything with a man for that. You,
Tom Mundy !" he continued, tuning
and YNrIptnO IN tho f a.,

''don't You remember hat sheep you
stole in Powell's valley! You can't
convict Ed. Collin-.'. There was !, gen
eral waking up Of the jury. and IL smile
went round. ''And you, Dan Bond
you know that horse you stole from
Lord Alexander in the spring of SO F!
You can't send u nan to prison TO,
stealing cattle"
The smile broke into an open guffaw
in q or two places, aud half u dozen
men on the back seats stood up.
As the old man took up the jury one
by one and recalled his shortcomings.
the laughter became general. Finally h-
said And there's my Phil. WASH,

What can he say against Ed. Collins I
And you. Ed. Butte; you remembe,

were KNOWN" But the rest Of the ser
tence was drowned in a shout of laugh
ter aud uproar of applause that shook
the building.
The jury was out three minutes and
it brought 10 a verdict for acquitt.l.

People from all over the county, excepting
, leila, are complaining about the high taxes thii
year, as compared with the levy Of last year
80 The fact that the valuation was lowered
in lola and raised In the balance Of the county
does not satisfy the people. They do not like
the lola ring. That Is one reason why the peo-
pie are so incensed against lola. and 1t also, In
a great measure, accounts for the county seat
petitions being so numerously signed.-Union.
What idiocy! What has lola got to
do with the assessment of any other
township? And if the valuation OF
other townships was raised, how would
that help lola? No body pays Iola's
debts but herself. But how does it
happen that the board of equalization,
two of whom live long distances from
lola, and one of whom is bitterly hos
tile to the town, did not find out that
valuations were raised elsewhere and
lowered here? They did not find it
out because it was not true and every
body knows it. The facts are that all
this howl about lola, the lola ring, and
all that rot, is inspired by nothing but
jealousy and spite. Towns like poor
old Humboldt, with her whiskey
dives, her democratic majority (which
naturally follows), her dilapidated
sidewalks, her worn out and empty
buildings and her waning trade, see
in lola the opposite Of all these things,
see her steady prosperity and her rap
idly growing trade, and so they yell
''Ring Ring!." That is the kernel of
the whole matter.

condition of trade, and the effects of the is.Apr
troubles, that the trade of the whole country is

the stock market; it is directly affecting dis.rib

it means stagnation or inactivity. With the ex-

all its restricting and unsettling influences, the
commercial situation has developed very little
change since the close of last week. and the trade
movement is without material improvement
