Fined For wearing a Hat.

TRIMBLE. May s.-A ease of unusual
interest will be tried at the next term
of the Dyer County Circuit Court.
About five miles from this place Sam
Wilcox keeps a country store, which is
often used as courtroom by Squire
Francis. A few days ago the Squire was
trying case in regard to division
fence, which brought a largo crowd of
farmers to the store. Francis opened
court by saying:
'Hats off, gentlemen; court is now
open.''
Every one in the house but Clarence
Schultz instantly removed his headgear.
Take off your hat, Clarence, court is
open," commanded the magistrate.
81 prefer keeping my hat on quietly
replied the young man.
'If you don't take off your hat I'll fine
you for contempt of court" thundered
the irate squire.
''Fine and be d-nr heatedly re-
piled Schultz. 81 came into this store
to do some trading, and not purposely
to attend your sinking little court.
I'll keep my hat on as much as l d-n
please, and you can't make me remove
it."

of court" angrily exclaimed Francis.
"And you see that it's collected turn

a single cent of it."

laughed Schultz. cpl take an appeal"
Very we'll, SIR" replied the magis-
trate, "that will only put you to moro
expense. You must give a $500 bond,
sir. will learn you, sir, that my court
shall not be treated with such disre-
spect."
Schultz had no difficulty in making the
bond, as he is very wealthy and stands
high in the community. He has en-
ployed counsel, who says he cannot be
made to pay the fine, as Schultz had
perfect right to keep on his hat, as the
store was not a courtroom, 1t being ten
dered the Squire by the proprietor
through courtesy. Another prominent
lawyer says the fine can be collected
oven if Francis was holding court in
store for which he paid no rent.

BosroN, Mass. June 2s.--Edward
Atkinson has made public his plan for
the reform of the tariff. The task is
one to be undertaken, he says, as soon
as the monetary question can be set
tied. lie does not advise hurried APP
plication because revenue will not be
so needfnl after 1898, since then tho
pension demands will decrease at least
one-fourth. He thinks WOODS, dye
stuffs, ores, coal and other raw ma
terials should be put on the free list,
while an interval of ut least six
months should pass before the roduc-
ton on finished goods takes effect,
Such bill, he thinks, will be passed
by the present Congress. BY such
measures the revenue tariff could be
brought into effect by the latter part
of 1894, just in time for the pension
reduation. lie also advocates the issu-
auce of pension notes having u low
rate of interest corresponding To the
English exchequer bills. lie fayors

beer tax, which would raise the gov
eminent revenue 81 500, 900, lls would
not object, however to doubling the
beer tax, making ii 81 barrel, OF
about S65, 00c,0 year, He de-
clares the civil service has been sus-
tanned by the revenue on spirits, the
army on tobacco, while all internal
improvements as well as harbor work
have been made ont of that fund, and
he thinks these taxes could be in
creased with profit.
Mr.. Atkinson claims TINT absolute,
practical free trade is from ten to
twenty years distance and within that
time the bonded debt can be paid by
the beer tax.
