menting on his life, the Scio Press has the
following: While many people may object
him, all knew him to be obliging aud gener-
ous Popular among his associates, his
early demise will cause feeling of sadness
to Iaany of them. When we think of the
faults and frailties of humanity and how
prone VIC all are to do evil we should extond
that mantle Of charity to others, even as we
would have it extended to us.

columns of an alteration between 0.
Ho3gins, of the Palace saloon, and U. S.
Deputy Internal Revenue Collector Geo.
Chapman, whose real name is J. B. Mullay,

be taken to have both cases transferred

completed, and yesterday, at IL o'clock, the
tedious job was finished. The rolls will be
expressed to the secretary of state tomor-

completed the rolls on time, without extra
