Though the heaviest storm of the season
ragged last evening, the Carleton Comic

The new comic opera, "Mynheer Jan, . the
music by the author of "Erminie." was
sung 1t is spirited, full OF dramatic &C.
ton, sparkles with Eumor and has many
gooj choruses. some charming solos and
several songs for mixed voices that greatly
please All the leading solos, duets and
ouartets were encored and were received
with sincere applause. Carleton, Misses
Lane, Wisdom and Vincent, Taylor and
Murray were recalled to repeat airs that
met the approval of the audience, and the
chorus was twice complimented in like
manner The costumery was rich and
varied in remarkable degree. The taste
for ballet marching and female form dis

Mr.. Drew has in the opera a strong low

it as to make it the foremost.

Cancellation of City Coupons

EDS. RECORD UNION: have been trying
to look into this question as to whether
this 1892 of 1861 coupons that are now
pasted into the coupon books were or were
not cancelled when paid, and what evidence
there is as to their cancellation. The only
evidence l can fad that tends in the slight
est degree to show that they might have
been cancelled when paid in 1861, is that
there is a cross-mark made with q pen
across the face of the coupons. There is no
evidence whatever as to when that cross
mark was made. 1t might have been made
in 1861 1t might have been made at any
intermediate time between 1861 and the
present time. That would hardly be called
evidence that they were cancelled in 1861.
But there is other evidence, which l will
not attempt a. this time to explain, strongly
tending TO show that these coupons have
been paid and cancelled by punching at a
much later date-say fourteen to fifteen
years after they fell due. OF course, this
may not be the case with all the coupons
of that year. But that seemed to be the case
with all | examined to-day. l was not able,
on cloudy day like this, to prosecute my
investigation with any facility. l found it
very difficult to see all the punches with
the imperfect light l had When fair
weather comes l intend to investigate this
thing further. | will say, too, that my in
vestigation has led me TO suspect not only
that those 81 coupons have been twice
paid, but that considerable number of the
COS have likewise been paid twice, and
occasionally 81 has also been paid twice.
The matter OF the COS and '62s is yet only
suspicion. A further examination OF the
coupon books may dissipate or confirm that
suspicion, as it may turn suspicion into
absolute certainty. H. o. BEATTY.

A LA BLACK BART.
A Horse Thief Leaves Poetry in Place of
q Horse.

"A horse Ihlet Leaves Poetry In Place OF
a Horse.
On Sunday night David McLennahan,
who lives about six miles below Franklin
on the Lower Stockton road lost dark
bay mare, saddle and bride. When his
hired man went out to look for the animal
he found piece OF poetry, la Black Bart,
which read as follows:
dislike 10 cause you sorrow,
But horse l am compelled to borrow
Please pardon this act of transgression,
And will leave him at my destination
in a stable at Stockton town
You viii find him If you 90 down
am compelled to do this taking,
By necessity, and bad walking
Yours truly, B.
Mr.. McLennahan came to Sacramento
and reported his loss to Chief Lee and then
went TO Stockton, while the Chief COM
municated with officers north. On Tues
day young man about 20 years if age.
who gsve the name of Foster, was arrested
at Pleasant Grove, Suffer county, with the
stolen property in his possession. He was
brought back here. In the mean time Nc
Lennahan returned from fruitless search
in Stockton and found his property here.
Yesterday morning District Attorney
B.uner filed q complaint in Justice De-
vines Court charging Foster with grand
larceny, aud he was arraigned for exam
ination. He admitted taking the horse
and even confessed the authorship of the
villainous poetry. He says that when he
took the horse be really intended to leave
him at Stockton, but when he reached the
crossroads he concluded that if caught he
would be sent up for grand larceny any
how and he might as well sell the horse
and get some money TO get out of the way.
He says ne viii plead guilty in the Superior

COUNTY sUPERINTENDENTs.
Proposed Amendment to the School
Law-Census Marshals,

Proposed Amendment to the School
Law-Census Marshals.
The Convention of County School Super
intendents met in the Supreme Court
room at the State Capitol at $50 A. NJ. yes
terday, State Superintendent Hoitt in the
chair, and nearly all the members present.
The minutes of the preceding day were
read and approved.
The committee on the formation of new
districts made a lengthy report, recon-
mending that the present school law be
changed so the Supervisors of the different
counties shall organize new school districts
between the first of February and the first
of May.
This report opened up an extended dis
cussion. Several members desired to
amend the suggestion, extending the time
to the 18th OF May. The amendment.
however, was defeated, and the commit
tees report adopted.
Section 1881 of the school law was dis
cussed and several changes proposed.
They recommend ithat it be amended so
that the Superintendent can post notices
instead of giving them in person.
They propose an amendment to Section
~
formed districts will be entitled 10 secure
school moneys wherein school has not been
maintained for at least six months in the
preceding year."
That portion of thereport which provides
that new district framed out of an old
one that has maintained a six months
school shall be entitled to benefit from the
school fund, was not considered proper
and was stricken out.
The committee to whom was referred
Article VIII. recommended a subdivision
be added compelling Census Marshals in
cities of the first, second, third, fourth and
fifth classes 10 make alphabetical lists of
all parents and guardians, their streets and
numbers. This they claim will facilitate
the work and make it much more reliable.
They proposed another subdivision to the
effect that all Census Marshals appointed
by Boards of Education in Incorporated
towns or cities be subject to the approval
of the County Superintendent.

DO THEY NOTE 1T?

There is one significant feature of the
numerous conventions, county, district
and state, which are being held and
which have been held throughout the
Northwest and West of late. Do the
representatives of the people in con-
gress note it? Do the party managers
observe it? Do the monopolists who
fancy the revenue system of this coun-
try is created for their especial benefit
recognize it? 1t is quite unmistakable.
1t appears in almost every convention
hall in clear and emphatic terms.
What is it? A determined demand
that the Ubiquitous and mOnopoly-breed-
ing tariff be done away with OF at least
be reduced to point where eXtortion
will no longer exist. Upon this ques-
ton the people of the West without re-
gard TO political affiliations and party
tendencies are practically agreed. They
care nothing for the fact that they may
be aiding or injuring the pre-eminence
of any particular party. The question
is too important and its solution fraught
with too many vital consequences for
them to stop and consider whether
party eXpediency is involved in the
question.
They only recognize one thing: that
for years they have been compelled,
through specious and utterly baseless
reasoning, to pay tribute out of their
earnings that monopoliSts might become
richer and corporations more eXacting.
They have endured until endurance has
ceased to be virtue. The tariff bur-
dens have become too heavy to be
borne. They demand the relief which
should long ago have been accorded
them and they are determined to have
it. This is the significant feature of the
opinion expressed in the Western con-
ventions of either party, and it is some
thing which in noting, congressman
will do well to respond to.
