Many centuries ago the first monarch
OF the province of Malabar gave to ono
of his chiefs as reward for distin-

Tho other note was to Col Newton
Harris, and read as follows;

TOO short. With oil those defects and the
doubtful Pedigree Of her sire It would DO folly
20 expect much OF tho flly. do not caro- TO
add her 70 my string. Thinking you for your
offer am your friend BEDFORD ASHLEY
Two hours after sending these notes
Col Ashley was In his Office busy pre-
puring brief. The door opened sud-
denly and Judge Hawthornc's secretary
entered with letter in his hand a
smile OF pleasant anticipation was on
Col Ashley's face us he opened the let
ter, but as he glanced at its contents
his countenancc underwent O great
change. The letter was from Judge
Hawthorne and read:
"SIE-1 shall not nsl1 or nccept any cxpls-
nation OF the outrageous insults contained In
your letter OF this date. I demand thnt you OF
once make full apology. both 10 my daughter
aud myself"
For moment Col Ashley was
specchless with establishment and then
he quickly arrived at the conclusion
that his audacity in asking for the
hand of Miss Hawthorne was regarded
by her father rs an insult. Col Ashley
was q gentleman, q kentucky gentle
man, the social equal of Judge Haw-
thorDe, and no man must so much ae
intimate that he would insult O lady.
Judge Ilawthorne's secretary soon
returned with the following letter
from Col Ashley:
SIR-In reply 70 your communication OF this
date, In which you stote that have tnsuIted
your daughter aud yourself have tho honor TO
INFORM you that o friend OF mine, empowered
to net for me, will coll on you within on hour.
Respectfully, BEDFORD ASHLEY.
Within the hour Col. Ashlcy's friend
waited on Judge Hawthorne with ~
challenge to mortal combat. The
Judge In his note to Ashley had stated
that he would not accept any attempt
Mt an explanation, SO there was moth
frig left for him to do but to choose his
weapons and nano the time and place
of meeting. He soon found friend
willing to act for him, and the two
seconds, without further consultation
with their principals, proceeded to ar
rnngc all preliminnries for the meet
ing. Sunrise the following morning
was the time agreed upon and the
PAuce WdS al opening In beautiful
grove only five miles from town. All
parties could take carriages In town ut
dayligh and reach the ground in time.
Every effort was made to keep the
affair quiet, SO there would be no inter
ruption, but In some way it leaked out,
and before midnight half the men In
town knew that Judge Hawthorne aud
Col Ashley would fight duel at sun
rise, and no one knew the exact cause
of It Among others who heard Of the
affair was Col Ashley's Office boy. and

brought about By @ letter he wos very

On his way down town the following

CITY FINANCES,

The incoming city administration
has one supreme duty-and that is
to secure a clean balance-sheet oi
city indebtedness-bonds and war
rants atloat. The law requires de.
tailed statement of warrants drawn
from the recorder, and a comprehen-
sive statement from the city treas
nrer. These will no doubt be made.
Salem must avoid the chaotic state
of fatlairs in its money matters that
seems to prevail in the Sound cities.
With our financial standing clearly
before the people confidence can be
established among the voters and
taxpayers of the city and that is
absolutely necessary. The duty
devolves upon the proper officers of
making n showing that shall at least
be satisfactory for its clearness and
completeness.
