George Parsons Sklps With 1ounS Lacy
and Good supply of Cash.
George Parsons, young man en-
ployed at the Parsons photograph gal
lery, disappeared suddenly on Wednes'
day, taking with him Miss Lille Haz-
lett, well known young lady living on
the Island. The couple are supposed to
have gone to Pittsburg and from there
to Baltimore. Parsons is about % years
of age and a son Of the late j. A. H..
Parsons. Miss Hazlett is about Is years
Of age and a daughter of Robert Haz-
lett, lineman for the Western Union
Telegraph Company, aud a decidedly
pretty young lady.
NJ. H. Sykes, manager OF Parsons
gallery, has lately missed sums of
money in small amounts, and there is a
suspicion that Parsons is the person
who is guilty Of the populations. He is
said TO have had $500 in cash. A
gold watch aud revolver are also miss
ing from the Parsons household, but
as ten dollars disappeared from the gal
lery Office after George left, the ques-
ton Of who took the money is involved
in some doubt.

Down I'm the OIL Field.

The Tyler Democrat says:
The increase of the production OF oil
for the first fifteen days CT this month
over the first fifteen days Of November
is three thousand barrels. Still, there
are men here who say the field is fast
playing out, and when they say so they
simply tell what is false.
There is some excitement over at New
Castle. Monroe county, Ohio, about
twelve miles west OF this place. 1t is
reported that large oil well has been
drilled in over there. We do know for
a certainty that they came here last
week and had three large tanks hauled
over to it.
MesSrs. Drummer and Lecompt have
eight acres of land leased from Wilson
Hubbard over the river near Witten's
landing. Last April they completed
two wells on this land and the wells
have made seventy-siy inches Of oil a
day from that day until about two
weeks ago when well No. commenced
to flow 30 barrels an hour and is keep
ing this gait up regularly every day in
the week. Still, there are correSpOn-
dents in this field that write home to
their respective newspapers to the effect
that the wells here play out very fast.
It's simply q scheme to keep other peo-
out of the field. In plain words they
are lies.

The Tale of "a Mule.

For three or four weeks past for
lorn mule, badly crippled as to the legs,
has been going about the eastern por-
ton of the city, an object of pity to all
who saw it. The animal formerly be-
longed to q man named Jenning, who
says he sold it to another man, but who
failed to pay for the animal. Both par
ties seem TO have thrown the mule
overheard, and it was left to shift for
itself, and without either food or water
it must have had tough time OF it in
this weather in it's crippled condition.
The police have attempted to find some
responsible owner on several occasions,
but without success. Yesterday Officer
Carney found the mule on the streets,
shot it, and from the crowd which gath
cred enough money was collected to
have the carcass hauled to the crema-
tory.
It's pity the law against cruelty to
animals wasn't enforced once in while.

If Nevada does not show to the
world that it is an out and out silver
State this Fall, then the silver mer
of the West will have made their
last rally for the white metal, and
the cause we have been SO long bat
ting for will meet its Waterloo.
Colorado alone cannot make this
fight; Nevada, the mother of the
silver States must lead her children
into the field in November. If Wall
street carries the day this time we
might 81 well pull down every hoist

for firewood. What use is it to keep

A Puzzled Editor.

The editor of the Silver State who
is striking Staunch blows for silver
in the Eastern part of Nevada ex
presses himself as follows on the
question of silver and protection
One thing we don't understand:
Why protectionists of American in
dustry refuse to let foreign countries
fix our tariff laws, but are perfectly
willing to let them dictate TO US a
gold standard of values.
Another thing weldon tunderstand:
Why free traders and tariff reformers
want foreign goods TO food our
country FREQ or practically free of
custom duties, when they refuse to
take our silver as money and refuse
to let US take 1t ourselves.
One Or two things we do know:
We know that our country is big
enough and strong enough to paddle
its own canoe without any foreign
dictation. That If we adopt free
coinage We can force Europe to do
the same. If the gold-bug powers
abroad refuse to come to our terms
We can starve them to death in twelve
months by suspending trade with
them. Let US say to them free coin
age or star0e. Let the American
people run our own Government
while.

BRUNERS IN POLITICS.

Eight honest msmbers of the San
Francisco Grand Jury have asked to
be released from further official duty
because the Foreman of thu Jury is
boodler and HIS Doodle associates
refuse in the face of the most posi-
tive evidence to indict rascal named
ElWood Bruner, who was 3 member
of the last Legislators aud who fatten>
ed of bribery and corruption during
tho entire session.
Bruner will never see the inside OF
the penitsntiary because the numcr-
GUS interests behind HIM will see that
he is protected.
The most available material for
the skillful performance of dirty
work in legislature is lawyer who
has no conscience and is coed all
round rascal.
In every legislature there is al
such a man backed BY big interests
to do work of such = character that
the man doing it sees the peniten>
tiary yauning in front every step of
the way.
After man has once secured the
JOB of doing this sort of work, he
can always depend on the unquali>
fed support of his masters socially,
politically and every other way.
He can command their backing at
all times as the secrets he possesses
places them III his power.
The penalty of wealthy men hir~
ing rascals to do their dirty work is
that the masters soon have to take a
back seat AMI become the slaves of
their accessories in crime Conscious
of his position he man viii - every
body knows and despisys shoves
himself into all sar.s Of responsible
positions and min-le in decent so
ciety with most perfect assurance.
There is 10 crime from murder
down that they will not undertake
for Doodle, as they feel perfectly safe
in escaping conviction.

The Idaho Register says, when q
man is informed that the tax levy is
8 or 81 per cent. and comes from a
state where property is assessed at its
full value he comes to the conclusion
that be does not want to invest his
money there, but will go where the
taxes are l ! per cent.
Much Of the property Of this
county has been assessed at not to
exceed one-third it's cash value, and
that manner Of assessing usually falls
heavier upon the poor than the rich.
A man worth $60,OO0 can much
easier put his property in at 20, 600
than q man With q house and lot
worth $500, can put his in at 5000.
The house and lot worth $500 is much
more liable to be assessed at $3.50 OF
$400 than the property worth $50,
900 is to be put in at $50, 900. We
hope this proposition will be carried
out.

bore An air of neatness and cleanliness
