WHEREAS There is now before the Legisla-

OF winch are not only calculated to lessen taxa

In this, first, the lessening of expense to tax

Jail and hospital expenses, including insane

merely the result of that stage of insanity pro-
duced in brains of those whose hopes of bet
terment are long deferred; second in receiving
Dtch through Une enhanced value OF property
in each and every place the money spent un-
der the provisions of this Act in local i'm

MOORE AND HIS MONEY.
How He Lost it at fuckers IS Hokey
Pokey" Game.

HOW de LoSU 1T at fuckers - HOkey-
Pokey'' Game.
Tucker, the ''hokey- -pokey" dealer,
who is charged with robbing man named
Moore of $500 at his game some time ago,
was partly tried before Superior Judge
Van Fleet and a jury yesterday.
The evidence for the prosecution was
very strong, and was to the effect that
Moore was enticed into the game, latter
which Tucker put up'' a series of
''hands' against Moore and relieved him
of his coin. When Moore realized that he
had been robbed he demonstrated. and
Tucker gave him s. to ''shut up his noise"
A.young man named Stewart, who was
watching the game, testified that he saw
Tucker fixing the deck" from supply
of cards which he had secreted beneath
the table.
When all of the testimony for the prose-
cution was in, w. A. Anderson, one of
fuckers attorneys, asked that further
hearing of the case be postponed until
to-day.
District Attorney Ryan objected, saying
that he desired to go on with the case, and
the Court also seemed disinclined to grant
Mr.. Anderson's request.
The attorney assured the court, how
ever, that by granting the continuance,
much time would be saved. He intended
TO prepare himself to submit the case
without offering any testimony for the
defense. He expected to show that
Tucker could not be convicted under the
Indictment for felony, and that the crime,
if any was committed, was, at the most,
miSdemeanor-or q series of misdemean-
ors. The attorney said he would show
that instead of robbing Moore of $500 at
one shot, which would constitute a
felony, Tucker had gotten hold of the
ny in HrIh nc m of Inh fA0
small to constitute felony. Mr.. Ander-
son said he wanted time to consider with
his client, and therefore asked for the
continuance.
The District Attorney still demurred,
and Mr.. Anderson got desperate.
Besides, your honor" he said, appeal
ing to the court, 81 would ask for delay
because l am suffering from a fever and
have been all day."
''Oh, if the Major is sick, 1 have no fur
ther objection to make" said Mr.. Ryan,
with slammed complaiSance.
Pm not sick, and / didn't say So"
retorted Mr.. Anderson. I'm not trying
to plead the baby act.''
''Well," said Judge Van Fleet, 81 feel

derson, who was now pretty mad, and he
glared furiously at the District Attorney.
Mr.. Ryan was cowed, and the continu-
ance was allowed.
