YOUR COUNTY TAX.
HOW YOU CAN SAVE 8 PER CENT.
ON YOUR MONEY.
A Provision of the Revenue Law
of Vast Importance to the
owners OF Property.


The city marshal has about all he can at
tend to these days in collecting the city
taxes. They will become delinquent on
October 31st, after which date a penalty of
5 per cent will be imposed and 10 per cen
interest
When the county commissioners come
together next month they will make the
county levy, which will be a little Less than
last year. A conservative estimate by the
commissioners placed the levy at ten mills,
as against 11.8 mills the. previous year.
This, of course, is not definite, inasmuch
as they could not then tell how the
county's values would be equalized by the
state board of equalization. The county
taxes will not be due until after the levy
is made, at the meeting in November.
They are then payable to the county treas
urer and will be delinquent on March list,
and penalty of 20 PEI. cent per annum
imposed.
There is one provision made by the leg
islature which is not generally known, Ii
will not only be of great interest but will
result in vast benefit to county taxpayers
who feel disposed to take advantage Of it,
1t is a provision which gives to all payers
Of county taxes a rebate of three per cent
on their taxes, if they are paid before Jan
uary 1st, previous to the day on which
taxes become delinquent.
Sec. 81 of the revenue law says: "There
shall be an allowance of rebate to all
payers of taxes who shall pay the same
within the year for which they are as
sessed, as follows: Three per cent, if paid
on or before the 1st day Of January next
ensuing; but if not paid on or before the
1st day of March, they shall then become
shall thereupon be added, and from The
said LIST day of March, said unpaid taxes
and penalty shall bear aninterest of twenty
per cent per annun thereafter, until paid.

liners Is 1R a Stew
An interestingcase was before the supe-
rior court of Lewis county in the suit Of
Drs. Dumond and Francis of Centralia vs..
Dr.. Minkler, yesterday. Some months
ago Minkler was authorized by the Thurston
county commissioners to attend patient
on the outskirts of the county, for which
he would be allowed $50. He afterward
represented to the commissioners that he
had paid to Dumond and Francis $1o0, out
of his own pocket, for assistance in the
case, and the commissioners reimbursed
him. Dumond and Francis claim never to
have received the money, and brought suit
to secure the amount from Minkler.
The evidence against Minkler was clear
and conclusive, but the complaint was not
properly made and non-suit was granted
The matter was referred to the county at
torney of Thurston, and MinkIer will be
again prosecuted for obtaining money un-
| der false pretenses. The case is of particu-
lar interest to physicians throughout the
state, inasmuch as Mlnkler is the physio-
medico-eurio~freak member of the state
board of medical examiners and his appoint
ment by Governor Ferry oceasioned much
ill-feeling among the members of the State
Medical society. Since his appointment
efforts have been made to secure his re
moyal, which will undoubtedly be aceom-
plished as a result of the charges ofobtain-
ing money under false pretenses.

AT the Theater Tonight.

A dramatic treat Will be offered the
many theater-goers Of our city at the
Olympia theater tonight, by the appear
ance of the ever popular artists Jos. r.
Grismer and his charming wife. Miss
Phoebe Davies, supported BY tirst-class
company, presenting for the first time,
here, '"The Burglar" comedy -drama in
four acts, of which the Portland Oregon
ian says: That charming domestic idyl,
The Burglar, written by Augustus Thomas,
the author of Alabama, and much better
plav than that picturesque drama, was last
nights bill at the Marquam Grand. 1t has
not been played here for two years.
The Burglar is not pleasing title for a
play, but some of it's scenes, in the first,
second and fourth acts, are as dainty bits
OF comedy as there are ON the stage. Even
the famed burglars scene, where the out
cast presents himself professionally at
little Editha's home and is interviewed in
his operations by that adept little wonder
who has heard nursery stories of bur
glars, and wants to see what he does-is
one that has mingling Of comedy and
emotion that is charming in its handling
and sentiment.
The contrast of bright innocent child
hood touching the hardened nature of the
man, appeals to the audience with mag
netic sympathetic power. The whole play
abounds in vital interest. 1t is fertile in
dramatic effects, pathos and humor, and
furnishes an evening Of rare entertain
ment

TIMELY INVESTIGATION,
Results Of an Examination Of The Sacra-
m6ntO County Jail.

SACRAMENTO, Feb. A few DAYS ago
Sheriff Stanley received some very interest
ing information in regard to the County
jail. The result was that all the prisoners
were brought from their cells and placed in
the big room" and thorough search was
made OIL all the apartments in the prison.
Inc search resulted in the finding of two or
tnree razors and as many pocket-kniyes.
either secreted about the prisoners or their
ceIls. among those provided with razor
was Charles Freeman who is under sen-
tence OF oeath for murder, but whose case
has been appealed to the Supreme Court.
Where d q you get that razor?" gasped a
deputy. Get that razor?" replied Free
man man why, nave been shaving myself
for the past seven months"
The new Sheriff has also been puzzled az
TO how the prisoners were supplied with
opium, but acting upon the information re-
celVed, an investigation revealed hole in
the wall leading to the alley, and which was
made for the escape of wafer, but which has
been used, as is now known, as an avenue
ior transmitting opium to the prisoners A
little cement soon shut off the supply of the
drug, however.
John Stevens. prisoner in the Jail, while
out IN the yard managed to scale the brick
wall and jumped to the ground on the other
SIDE. In doing so, however, he broke his leg
and was easily captured. He reached the ton
OF the wall by placing against it wooden
platform which has been lying in the yard.
=, The. Sheriff also discovered today that
the prisoner had began to tunnel through the
back brick wall and had made considera BILE
progress. The debris had been carried in
the prisoners pockets and dumped in the
water-ciosets. At times when the work
could not be carried on piece of furniture
was so arranged as to hide from view the
mutilated wall 1t has been ascertained
that communication with the outer world

at the hour when two other prisoners (who
are serving time for grand larceny were
ABOUT 10 be given their weekly bath, four
were to make dash for liberty.

SUED THE WRONG MAN.
DR.. BOys0n Will Have to Seek
Redress From F. G. Newlands.

On September Goth Dr. j. Boyson brought
suit against 5. F. Thorn, the late manager
of the Palace Hotel. to recover S25, 100 dam
ages for injury to his profession and also
humiliation before the public, caused by his
having elected him from the hotel 1t ap
peared from the complaint that in Novem-
Der, 1889, the plaintiff procured lodgings for
himself and wife at the Palace, paying 500
therefor, and these they continued to occupy
until the following December, at which
time, and instigated by +. G. Newlands. one
OF the executors of the Sharon estate. Thorn
demanded that the plaintiff and his wife
vacase their rooms, with the alleged inten-
ton OF annoying the plaintiff and iniuring
his profession.
Upon refusal to do this Newlands directed
morn to refuse to furnish Dr. Boyson and
his wife with meals, and instructed IN q
servants 10 recognize no orders from them.
Not satisfied with this form of oppression
tMSeWIanus, on december II, 1885, actually
threatened to eject plaintiff and his wife
from the building In consequence of which
the latter became sick and IT, became neres
sary to procure the aid of nurse for her.
10 this complaint the defendant inter-
p1seu demurrer, and yesterday Judge
Hoge rendered decision sustaining IF,

prlety OF the plaintiffs suing Thorn. who
was merely the cause of the breach of the

AFTER MANY YEARS,
HOW Michael Hawkins Found an
Old Document,

Surely it Is an i'll wind that blows nobodv
good. About two months ago Michael
hawkins went out for the evening. leaving
the gas jet burning brightly in his Office in
the Montgomery Block, aud when he re-
turned at a late hour 10 his surprise he
found everything in the room abIaze. A
japanese screen which he had carelesslv
left too near the gas fixture had caught on
hre, the doors had been reduced to charcoaI.
and the chairs, tables and window-frameS
were burning rapidly. One glance was suf-
ncient to assure him of the serious nature
OF the situation. he quickly called
LOT assistance, and still alarm was
turned in. The result was that the
flames were extinsuished, but not until
considerable amount of damage has been
done. In the struggle with the fire Mr..
hawkins noticed that box of old papers
which had been filed away since 1870 had
been badly burned. The covering had been
eaten entirely away, and the greater part of
the musty documents DESTROYED. but a few
OF the papers he succeeded in rescuing in
tact. 80
Strange to say, among those saved was an
old promlssory note which Mr.. Hawkins
had iaid away twenty years before, and
which he had given up as lost. The maker
was julius c. McCeney, and the principal
$500, 1t is alleged, was borrowed from
hawkins in 1867. This with interest now
amounts to nearly $500, and an action to re-
cover THIS amount from McCeney was COM
menced yesterday in the Justices Court.
