1t is no small honor and tribute 70 SEN
ator Morrill, that in spite of his 50 years
he should be thought still ablc to fill the
important position of chairman of the
senate committee on finance, with lis eX-
acting duties.-T Burlington Free Press
It doesn't always follow that because Il
man gets an office he can fill it. Noah
was quite a navigator in his day, and if
he were to come back on earth and wish
to command an ocean steamer. the captain
might have respect enough for the ancient
mariners past achievements to let him
try; but it is by no means certain that
he would succeed We do not believe,
however, that Noah would ask for such
job. There is occasionally IA person
who knows when his career Is ended.

taken of the member of the Sixth ward.
There seems to be an opinion in some
quarters tina the council cannot elect any
member of it's own body and that section

She Was SwiDdled

Mrs. Cooper of Ventura county yester-
day called at the district attorneys office.
to make complaint against one Maud c.
Howes, who has an Office at No. 324 West
Third street, and if possible get assistance
in recovering $50 in coin and $50 note
which had been obtained by the said Maud
c. Howes under false pretenses. Mrs.
Cooper said that she answ cred an adver-
tisement of Mrs Howes', calling for
women to engage in the manufacturing
business. In reply to her answer, she as
certained that the manufacturing business
in question was for medicine designed to
cure female disorders. On the representa-
tons of Mrs. Howes, Mrs. Cooper said that
she invested 500 in coin and gave her note
for $50 more, for which she was appointed
an agent and was to receive $3.50 worth of
the medicine. Later she became convinced
that the Howes woman was fraud, and
tried to get her money back, but this was
refused, and she was left without any re-
course.
Deputy Willis, to whom the complaint
was made, told Mrs. Cooper that nothing
could be done for her, and she left the
Office, remarking that she would either
have the money or $3.50 worth of medicine,
or Mrs. Howes would hear somsthing drop
hard.
