The day was in that transitory state whsE
twilight fingers in the lap of day and dark
ness struggles for the ascendency The sun
hung IN great red bali of lurid fans
betwixt heaven and earth; there was d
feeling Of profound quiet which seemed To-
settle on all things animate and inanimats.
The birds, the insects, the very trees ana
sprouting plants were for the moment hushea
as if in expectancy of some Unforeseen, some
inexplicable something which seemed 10
pervade the very atmosphere. A bull frog
gurgled softly as he fell back into the limpi6
water. Suddenly over the brow Of distant
hill there appeared solitary man, seated
astride great bay horse; he cast one long
sweeping glance around him and then wens
back over the brow Of the hill again. And
that same night over seven hundred people
were turned away unable to gain admissioE
to the Opera House where She Couldn't
Marry Three was being played to the most
delighted audience of the season.

SAUCE ToR GOOSE AND aANDER.

1t appears that negotiations fora settlement
have been going on for some time. F. W..
Bechtel for Taylor and A. W. schalck for
several others, principally for Mr.. Schalck
have been the prime negotiators. Mr.. Bech-
tel was perfectly right in securing an acquit-
tance of his client by the best possible means
nay, it was his duty to his client and when
that settlement was the means Of enriching
the county a few thousand dollars it became
a very commendable duty and pleasing one
to perform ON the part of Mr.. BechJel. But
what is sauce for the goose should he sauce
for the gander," if the gander is any kind of
! a decent gander at all, and when it was pro-
posed to deduct about S., 600 from the $4,000
paid to be devoted to lawyers, typewriJers,
witnesses etc, and nearly onehalf Of the
$1,000, or 81 800, was proposed to 60 to one
person, some other persons thought it was
time to enter very emphatic protest. So
Mr.. Whitehouse kicked. He said among
other things chat he was opposed to the set
tlement, that he understood that his name
was included in the list of attorneys to be
paid, but until his original employers, the
taxpayers had discharged him he proposed to
oppose this settlement, denouuciug it as un-
fair, contrary to law and as calculated to set
bad precedent. When he remarked that

TIE COUNTY LOSES.


On Tuesday afternoon the jury retired, af
ter being well charged by the judge, and very
soon agreed St aling their verdi It and bring
ing it into court on Monday. 1t gave Mr.
Newlin 81 1,47l.72 and costs. Now the unwise
men of the Commissioner Board who
wouldn't agree with Mr., Reed last week to
bettTe with Newlin- for $se9, have -arrUtirer
feather Of stupidity. to stitch in their Ounce
caps And so it goes-the taxpayer pays the
piper every time.
The beginning Of the new year has marked
period of official blunders 50 far. Perhaps
the most stupendous one is (or will be, when
consummated) the settlement of the case
against Architect Beebe and Contractor Tay-
lor, who robbed the county in building the
new court house. But for kick made by
Counsellor WhitehOuse last Saturday in
court when the matter was under consider
tion this little game set up as it looks, (brt
we hope not to compound felony, and to
exemplify the old adage, "a fat hogs rump is
always creased" would have gone through
smoothly and swimmingly. But it was a
vigorous kick-was that of the Objecting
lawyer-and Brother f. w, Bechtel, Mr
Taylor's most active counsel, had to put the
SIS, 600 in bank and await more liberal and
meritorious adjustment which Mr.. Schalck
who was originally employed by certain tax
payers with $3.50, along with Messrs Henning
and Whitehouse, will have to accept about
$500 less than he reported to the court, under
cover of the Auditors names, that he was en-
titled to. We have heard of salary grabs be-
fore but this little game to get s., 300 and let
his colleagues hustle for few dollars in fees
was a bold one of Mr.. Schalcks and brought
forth the lively and vigorous kick above re-
ferred to.
