The full democratic membership of the
ways and means committee has been called
to meet today. The members of the com -
mittee had been favoring provision for an
income tax fee confident that the result of
a series of conferences to begin tomorrow
will prove that the majority of the COM
mittee favors such plan. The iron ore
and coal schedules will be discussed and the
question of placing these articles on the
free lis; will probably he settled IN tho
affirmative. The tobacco, beer, and whiskey
schedules are also expected to be considered
and there now appears to bo little doubt
that there will be material increase in the
tax ON whlskey and other distillery outputs.
The proportion of an increase of 45 cents
a gallon on whiskey is now being informal
" discussed and some mention the increase
as high as sixty cents per gallon.

A MYSTERIOUS BOx.

Just nov the officials and employees up
in the Oregon Pacific headquarters are
trifle worked up The messenger boy
brought from the train the other day a
package for Superintendent Mulcahy.
When the outside wrappers of the pack
age were removed, the superintendent
found not new, but a secondhand cigar
box the appearance which was sufficient
ly curious to excite q suspicion that it
might be an internal machine. Mr. Nut
cahy is reputed to be fairly brave man,
but he hadn't the nerve to open that
box, and when another official came in a
few minutes later II: "a picked it up with
the remark that he would take cigar,
the superintendent beat hasty retreat,
and called out 'for Gods sake put that
thing down" Tile other man was quick
to take the hint and laid the box down
in hurry, ard gave it plenty OF room
thereafter, as did everybody else who
heard OF the dangerous character OF its
supposed contents.An investigation was
Immediately set on foot to ascertain
where the box came from, but it was
barren OF results. Nothing could be
learned about Nho sent it, which
heightened the Hssstery and Increased
the anxiety in segRTd TO its contents.
Finally some one picked it up, carefully
carried it out and slowed It away some
where in the back part of the building,
where it remains undisturbed at the
present time. Whether or not It contains
dynamite, SO arranged that it will e.
plode when the lid is raised, nobody

ROBBED AGAIN.-News reached here
several days ago that Gen" Holmes has
been robbed again in Camas valley. but
it is so difficult to obtain news from that
p ace at this time of the wear that only
meagre details were received by the Re
view until today. The story of the rob
berry is simple. The report got out that
he had only recently been paid s., 500 by
George Smith who purchased his re-
naming real estate some time since, and
that last Monday night an unknown
party broke in the door of his house and
with a drawn pistol terrorized him into
Civ ng up all the money he had, about
ST, 900, which was secreted in the room.
He was living i'll new cabin he had
built on the Mckay place, and was so
completely prostrated by tins latest ad-
venture that he is utterly helpless, and
has since been removed down to George
Smiths, where he is being cared for. II
is said though, that he only had $2000.-

WANT THEIR MoNEl-

Jacob Hufer, school director ot III. Jor.
dan distsics was in town Tuesday. lie re-
ports The geoPle of Jordan ana vicinity are
considerably exercised over the fac; that
the school money that has been collected
from the people and wh'ch ouentto be is not
now available for the payment of district
warrants. From Mr. Hube,'s conversation
we Judge that an ei1o,t will be made 10 COM
pei Treasurer Wallace TO account for school
fanss that ought now to be in lis hands sub
ject to the payment of school warrants.
They think. and rightly too. that the county
treasurer gave bonds that should be requir-
ed to make good any deficit OF that otficer.
If not wha, is the object or use of -tquiring
him 10 give bonds at all.-Scio PEeSs.
The facts about this matter are alseldy
known TO most people. At the tim. of the
sus; tension Of the Linn county bank county
treasurer Walac. had something over $3o.-
900 deposited there for safe keeping, The
county does no; furnish The treasurer with
a safe place for keeping public funds, hence
the deposit in the bank. Tais is just what
all county teasuJers have done for years.
The money is tied up in the bank and can
not be made available until 4 dividend oi
the amount collected by the receiver is Or
dered ty the comptroller OF the Uuited
States treasury. II is said on the street:
that $4,000 have been collected AMI that
dividend will be ordered soon. II is un-
foI tunate of course that our schools shoult
be thus hamPered but the blame can no
certainly be placed upon the county treas
urer nor upon the county school superin
teCdcnt as some have attempted to do. The
county school superintendent can apportio
only the amount reported to him BY tn
treasurer AMI this he has done. 1t is ur
fortunate for the schools but the misfortun
comes to business of all kinds caused by II
