items affairs, showing how much
money has been collected for taxes,
and just how it was expended. This
was never done by any previous
Board.
The debt on the city school build
ings has been paid off promptly as it
matured, as have all other obliga-
tons Of the corporation. Not q sim
gle corporation warrant has ever been
shaved or discounted under this
Board, and no holder of such paper
has ever had to wait for' the money.
A corporation warrant is now and
has always has been under this
Board equivalent to gilt-edged
bank check, They have given the
city ten months of free school, have
kept the streets in good condition,
and provided the best system of cleo
trio light of any town in the State,
and all this without one cent addi-
tiOnal taxation. This has all been
brought about by simply applying
business methods to the corporations
affairs. If the present Board is re-elect-
ed, they will make even a better
showing the next year than for the
one just closing. By the same bust
ness methods they will be enabled to
provide other and greater improve
lnents than in the past without any
additional taxation. Every enter
prising citizen ofMcMinnville should
favor the reelection of our present
Board. They are all enterprising,
progressive young men, whose en-
tire interests are conferred here, and
who take pride in any scheme which
will tend to build up the town and
give to the people of the place every
possible convenience and advantage.

old hap-hazzard, loose. ENDS methods

We clip the following correspon-

wishes for the lifelong happiness of
Mr.. Marbury and his bride:
One of the happiest events that has

last night at the residence Of Mr.. and
Mrs. J. J. Carson, when their amia-
bic and accomplished daughter, Eula,
was joined in holy wedlock to Mr..
John G. Marbury, the efficient book
keeper for the Lathrop Hatten Lum-
Der Company.
The ceremony, which took place in
the reception room Of the brides
parents, was performed in most i'm

Rev. J. L. BaltOn and was witnessed
by a large circle of relatives and
friends.
The bridesmaids were Miss Stella

WASHINGTON.


WASHINGTON, Apr. s, lSS9.-Poor
President Harrison. The New York
gang have made his life a torment for
the last week. They have tiguratiye-
ly jumped on him and wiped up the
floor with him. They have pulled
him this way, that way and the other
way all at the same time. All the fac
tons have been strongly represented
here. The bone Of contention has
been important Federal Offices of
New York city, with the enormous
patronage that goes Herewith.
1t was one of these same Offices that
drove COnkling and Plat out of the
United States Senate and eventually
resulted in the assassination of Gar
field. With all this to think about l
imagine that Mr.. Harrison, with his
pale careworn face, has wished the
whole crowd in Halifax more than
once, As yet he has decided upon
only two of these officials, Erhardt,
who allowed himself to be put up
last November as the republican can
didate for Mayor Of New York city,
when he knew that it was the inten-
ton of his party to trade him off for
votes for Harrison. He is rewarded
by being appointed Collector of Gus
toms for the port Of New York. The
other is NanCott, who is made Post
master in place of the Mugwump
Pearson, whose reappOintment by
Mr.. Cleveland four years ago doubt
less cost the democrats many votes in
New York. The fight isstill on over
the other appointments and is likely
to continue until they are made, I'M
less Harrison runs away for a few
days as ne has threatened to do this
week.
a delegation of Ohio republicans
went to the White House on Satur
day and read the riot act to Mr.. Har.
rison, and told him that the Buckeye
State was bound to go democratic a
the coming State election if he die
not give her more recognition in the
distribution of the offices. They evi
IDENTIFY did not get much satisfaction
for they came away in very baC
humor and prOphesied all sorts o
bad things for their party in Ohio.
Mr., Cleveland passed through her,
on Saturday on his way to New Yorl
from Florida. Four of his party
Messrs. Bayard, Villas, Fairchild ant
Dickinson, remained in this city
where their families still are.
When the Senate adjourned las

get rid of some of the most persisten
of the Office seekers, but he was sadl,
mistaken. Since then a large mum
her of republican Senators have al
most lived in the White House.

life through slip of the pen Such a
thing has just occurred in SiLesia. A
wheelwright named kontuy was indi,
ed at the Oppein Assizes for the murder
of his wife in fit of Jealousy. The
jury found him guilty by seven votes to
five, and sentence of death was passed in
the usual form. When, however, the
cOnvlcts advocate came % examine the
record Of the verdict as written down BY
the foreman of the jury, be found that,
by slip of the pen, the word "studden'
had been accidentally substituted in
place of 'stimmen by which it appears
that the murderer had been found guilty
by seven hours" instead of 'seyen
votes" Of course an appeal was imme-
dlately lodged; and the Imperial Court
OF Cessation being unable to make
sense OF the record, ordered new trial
The second jury was more tcnder-heart-
ed than the first. and Kontuy was only
found guilty of manslaughter, the pen
