PORTLAND, March 22.-TSpecial. 1-Ih@
verdict of the jury in the case Of Sandy
Olds, who has just had his fourth trial on
charge Of murder, was received with gene
eral rejoicing by the gamblers in this city.
Dispatches were received here early in the
morning, and the result Of the trial was
announced on the bulletin boards Of every
sporting house and cigar store. Men stood
about the boards and in knots about the
street corners all day discussing the ree
suit. The case has attracted moro attens
tion, first and last, than any other crimiS
nal case ever tried in the state.
Olds, who belongs to the faction ok
gamblers that stands in with the police,
shot and killed Emil Weber, one Of thu
opposing faction, in cold blood, on the
1lth Of May, 1859. Twice he was convicted
of murder in the first degree, but appeals
to the supreme court gave him new trials.
Once the jury disagreed, and last his trial
took place at Hillsb0ro, Washington, on =
change Of venue. This was Olds' lass
chance, and the gamblers made the best
of it by procuring the best legal talent
obtainable, ,Iand spending money otherwise
where it would do the most good.
The testimony Of the police IS - much
responsible for the verdict Of manslaugh&
ter as any other agency. They worked fo1
him as much as the gamblers. The game
blers have spent from so, 200 to $4,000 IN
Olds' defense. One of them, who is wel1>
posted, stated tonight that it was not less
than $4,000, but he did not know hoM
much more.
HMIsBoRo, Or, March 22-"Sandyse
Olds, who has been on trial here before q

der of Emil Weber, in Portland, May To-

NEW FORM OF REVENUE STAMP.
Liquor Dealers Cannot Cau Their Special
Tax Stamp License.

AoA SSoAAP = A<AS~Asoos
WASHINGTON CRY, March 22.-Acting
Secretary Of the Treasury Nettleton has
issued the following circular, announcing
change in the form Of special tax stamp
for retail liquor dealers:
Letters are frequently received stating that in
many parts of the country retail liquor dealers
claim to hold a permit or license from the
United States for carrying on their business,
and that in many cases where the local law
prohibits public drinking places, the law is
openly violated by persons who claim to do
business under at least the moral sanction of
federal license. and that this fact greatly re-
tards the enforcement of wholesome restrictive
laws and promotes disorder.
1t should be unnecessary to state that the
United States government does not issue q
license or permit to any person in any state to
carry on the business of retail liquor dealer
Congress having levied revenue stamp tax of
IS per annIm on the business of retail liquor
dealers, the commissioner of internal revenue
endcayors to collect this tax wherever and by
whomsoever the business is carried on, but no
semhlance OF permission is given by the United
States to begin such business in any place con-
trary to local legislation. A change has been
made in the form of the United States stamp
issued to retail dealers as evidence that they
have paid such tax, the new form, which goes
into effect in july next, reading
United States stamp for special tax; internal
revenue. Received from the sum of
- dollars for special tax on the business OF q
retail liquor dealer at --- for the period repre-
sented by the coupon or coupons hereunto at
taehaG."
Across the face of the stamp is inscribed the
substance of section 3,i23, Revised Statutes:
"This stamp is simply receipt for tax paid the
government. AMI does not exempt the holder
from any penalty or punishment provided for
by the law OF any state for carrying on said busi
ness within such state, and does not authorize
the commencement or continuance of such busi-
hess contrary to the laws of such state, or in
places prohibited by the municipal law"
1t is believed that this action will leave no
ground for further Misrepresentation.

Presbyterianism in Japan.

WASHINGTON CRY, March 22.-A report
to the department of state from the late
United States minister to Japan says that
after long deliberation the native Presby-
terian church in that country has seen fit
to roast the time-tried doctrines Of the
Presbyterian church, and even to make
additions to the Apostles Greed. He
further claims that it is frequent and COM
mon claim by Christian converts that
the spirit and meaning of Christianity in
its broader scope has never been properly
presented among the Western nations, and
that the faith needed to be transported to
Japan for final development and perfec-
ton; consequently, he apprehends that
the changes noted will be followed by
other and more radical changes.

by Captain Anse Hatfield, Devil Anse,n
he says general amnesty has been de-
clared in the famous Hatfield Mccoy feud;
that the war spirit in him has abated
and he rejoices at the prospects of
peace. This letter will serve to quell all
disturbances as far as the Hatfield side is
concerned, and it is thought like letter
has been published in Kentucky. This
state of affairs is the result of marriage
OF one of the Hat.ields to Miss Mccoy, and
the truce and peace congress held shortly
after. This feud has been in existence
since 1879. and there have been no less
than 100 deaths among the participants.

trade, under the recent act of con-

In referring to this law, and to that which
provides for registration by the secretary
OF agriculture of the condition of cattle
carrying vessels, the firm declares that
these laws will help the farming and cattle
raising interests beyond anything it is
possible to estimate. Foreign countries, it
is believed, will not take our animal prod
ucts for human food without inspection,
and it is persuaded that by this act be-
coming law, millions will be saved to
the country.

Most boys and girls do not like sermons.
they say they are too long for their high
nesses. Perhaps they may like these
short sermons. They will give food tc
think over, and must not be read toe
hastily:
A Swedish boy fell out of the window
and was badly hurt, but, with clenched
lips. he kept back the cry of pain. The
king, Gustavus Adolphus, who saw him
fall, prophesied that the boy would make
a man for an emergency. And so he did,
for he became the famous Gen. Bauer.
A boy used to crush the flowers to get
their color. and painted the white side of
his fathers cottage in Tyrol with all sorts
of pictures, which the mountaineers
gazed at as wonderful. He was the
great artist Titan.
An old painter watched a little fellow
who amused himself making drawings of
his pot and brushes, easel and stool. and
said: THAT boy will beat me one day =
So he did, for he was Michael Angelo.
A German boy was reading blood
and thunder novel. Right in the midst
of it he said to himself: Now, this will
never do. / get too much excited over
it. l can't study so well after it. Sc
here goes! and he flung the book out into
the river. He was Fichte, the great
German philosopher.
Do you know what these little sermons
mean? Why, simply this: That in boy
hood and girlhood are shown the traits
for good or evil that make the man OF
woman good or not.-Jewish Messenger.

fares of rioters. This plan, credited to
the combined thought of Washington
aud Lafayette, was adopted in the re-
construction of Paris by Napoleon III.
Then the fire department OF this city
is OF tirst-class order, and as for
troops, they abound. Besides the
large guard of men armed with Win
chesters and revolvers within the
capital and the fact that many of the
treasury male employees have or
ganized a militia company to repel
raiders. several thousand troops can
be brought into service here in less
than an hour. The Washington mill
tia numbers 900 men, and within half
an hour s march is the arsenal whence
500 veteran ar illerymen can be sum-
moned by telephone. Two experienced
troops of cavalrymen stationed at
Arlington are available for immediate
service. while from the marine barracks
800 of the best drilled men living could
be obtained. Calling and Hotchkiss,
to saw nothing of heavier guns, are
plentiful. Moreover. the mounted
police are ex-calvarymen and all the
patrolmen have served in the United
States army.
If this force isn't enough to put a
mper ON the spirits of the rioters. a
couple of batteries of the regular army
can be obtained from baltimore in
forty minutes and large force of ma
rines and sailors from Annapolis in
less than one hour. So that. take it
all into considera ion, the probabilities
of raid on the United States treasury
succeeding are very small
