Church fairs, raffies and lottery
schemes of all kinds are included In
the CGbbis0n anti gambling bill, and
as 1t has passed the senate it only needs
signature OF Governor Morrill, for 1T to
become law. The distinction made
is this, If you do your gambling at a
church, on the street or in a private
room you are only guilty of misde-
meanor, and If found guilty shall he
punished by fine of not less than $40
nor more than $4,000 or by imprison-
ment in the county Jail net less than
ten days or more than 80 days, or both
| fine and imprisonment; but if you do
your gambling in gambling house you
hard labor in the penitentiary for not
less than one year or more than three
years. The law In all probability. like
the prohibitory law, will fail of enforce
ment because of the severity of the
penalties. 1t would be hard work to
get jury to fine man 500, or send
INN 10 Jail for 80 days or both, for pat
ronizing rattle, or dropping nickle in
some slot machine. The element of
chance enters so largely into all lines
of life that 1t will be hard matter to
draw the line. Matrimony by some has
been designated game of chance. and
if their logic holds good. the man who
invested in marriage license would be
amenable to the new law; following
that line little farther, the advocates
of the bill might insist with good reas
on that man would be better off did
he serve the thirty-day jail sentence.

Gus, could have reason for going away

Of az invitation to dine with the veter-
ans which it is needless to say, we ac
cepted without any considerable re-
luctance. TO the old soldiers 1t is a
pleasure to inset with bis comrades on
an occasion like this and review the
"reminiscences OF the battlefield and
relate the many incidents of perse-
cutlon to which they were too often
subjected. The dinner was we'll pat
rOni2ed and We are safe ia saying that
no one went away hungry. The wives
of the old soldiers who served the din
ner deserve commentator for the
preparation of this enjoyable repast.

Somebody wrote to an editor to ask
him how to break an OK" The editor
answered as follows: IF only one OK.
a good way would be to hoist him by
means of log chain, TO the top of a
pole forty feet from the ground, then
hoist him by a rope tied to his horns to
another pole. Then let descend on his
back five ton pile driver, and if that
don't break HIM let him start a news
paper and trust people for subscription.
One of the two ways Will do it sure.''

The county treasury elect failed to
qualify, and new bonds were required
of Mr.. Hoffman to enable him to hold
the office. He was out In search of
bondsmen when the cowardly murder
took place. 1t is not known what mo.

it may be possible the trouble grew out
of the Dissatisfaction of the people

with him fifteen pound Oregon boot.
An alarm was given that all the prison
ers were escaping, and the doors were
quickly barred, locking within with the
prisoners harmless plumbers apprentice
who had come to repair the gas fixtures.
Searchers spread out over the surrounding
country, but the escape had disappeared,
and not the slightest trace of him has been
found.
This is RUSSELL second break from jail in
this county, and he is wanted in MADEIRA
for bicycle stealing and jail-breaking.
About month ago Russell was arrested
while making his way toward the county
line with two stolen bicycles. These were
not the only wheels Russell had made
away with, for two others were traced to
his door.
On the morning of his examination, Rus
sell neatly gave Constable Brown the slip,
and then started on his bandit career. For
eight days he avoided his pursuers, and his
appearance in any section was followed by
